"stop! MISTLETOE" Seulgi's soft hair bouncing happily as she screamed and soon enough the crowd looked at the pair that was below, who were tying the knots of the basket together,

"oh my god Seokjin is getting it!" Hoseok screamed and seokjin looked around in complete disbelief, 

"I am still your hyung you jerk!" the older muttered angrily,

"I can't believe I have to see my sister kissing someone" Jungkook said genuinely feeling sick to his stomach,

"yes dude what's up with you siblings kissing in front of each other?" Jimin asked and Jungkook did nothing but shrug,

the two victims looked at each other with their cheeks red, the remaining eight were howling and screaming for them to continue,

"I am sorry" Seokjin said and grabbed her by the shoulders politely suddenly causing the girl to gasp at their lips touching,

he slowly dived more as soon as she responded moving his hands that laid safely on her shoulders to her waist inching her closer, tasting her lips further more as she kissed him back with the same passion, her hand turned into fists clenching his shirt pulling him closer, both pair of lips moving continuously and fast. But before they could continue, Seokjin pulled away

"they are not going to stop teasing us if we continue in front of them" he whispered in the blushing girl's ear and she nodded shyly fiddling with her fingers, the both heard no noises and looked around and saw everyone with their mouth wide open

"she is still my ex--oh my fuck"

"is this even allowed?" Yoongi asked and Hoseok nodded and continued

"there's only three years age ga--" 

"let's make a bet" Taehyung began and soon felt a smack on his head to see Jungkook doing it,

"we are not betting on my sist--"

"i bet they will date by the end of the year" Yoongi interrupted and Jungkook sighed slouching his shoulders knowing no debate would work

"there's only a week for this year to end yoongi" Namjoon said and Yoongi smirked nodding

"exactly"

<><><><><><><><><><><><><><>

"why the fuck would you call him voldemort sunbaenim, subaenim? seriously kook?" Taehyung asked in complete disbelief as Jimin laughed out loud, his eyes forming into pure crescents,

"he is a senior citizen" Jungkook said as he licked his ice-cream spoon off, Sooyoung laughed out loud as she heard Hoseok's reply,

"you don't even call us hyung" Jungkook shrugged at that and continued eating his ice-cream,

Taehyung smiled at the sight of the small boy licking his ice-cream, after it was quite convinced that he liked Jungkook he couldn't help but blush and stare at anything the boy did.

of course, the remaining five boys knew about this and gave their full support. although Namjoon was terrified he was convinced by Jimin that everything will be fine. Being gay or bisexual wasn't a thing that was accepted by the society or by Taehyung's family itself. being anything but straight needed the courage to go through difficulties and insults.

and Jungkook on the other hand, was too oblivious to realize his own feelings, he didn't know who he liked, and mainly he was ashamed, how could he fall for his sister's ex? but was he just going to ignore the fact that his sister herself was the one desperately trying to get them together?

Sooyoung made Taehyung to confess today as she told that someone could take the chance first and he will be left in regret and Taehyung being bold agreed not knowing the consequences no wait actually sooyoung told if he didn't confess she will punch him so--

"are you sure this isn't too early to confess?" Taehyung asked to Sooyoung as she shook her head, 

"Jungkook may reject y---"

"not helping sooyoung" Taehyung said biting his nails and Sooyoung held him in place,

"let me continue, he may reject because he is scared, not because he doesn't feel the same. the only way to solve this is by asking him out first and proving that there is nothing to be scared of" Sooyoung said assuring the latter and he nodded smiling,

he wanted to do it now, a sudden adrenaline rushed pass him as he went to Jungkook, planning to take him to the balcony and confess---

"oh he's here!" Jungkook screamed happily and Taehyung furrowed his eyebrows asking who as others groaned at the interruption

"Minghao! I called him here for sometime, figured you guys can meet" Jungkook said happily as he rushed to the door and pulled the so-called minghao, hugging him tightly. He soon dragged him to the couch where everyone was seated and minghao already felt weird,

"everyone, this si Xu Minghao and ming this is Seokjin, Yoongi, Hoseok, Namjoon, Jimin, Sooyoung, Seulgi, Heejin and Taehyung" Jungkook said giddily and Taehyung smiled softly keeping his eyes on Jungkook's arm that was intertwined with the other's

"hello, nice to meet you all, i have heard a lot about you guys!" Minghao said in his quiet yet soft voice bowing and the other bowed down saying their hello's

"oh Taehyung-ssi! I have heard so much about you and your fashion sense, i am a huge sucker for fashion!" Minghao said excited and Taehyung smiled 

"I am a huge sucker too!" they both laughed and Jungkook smiled at them getting close, but soon enough Taehyung's face formed into a frown as he saw Minghao grabbing Jungkook's waist and pulling him close as Jungkook smiled with a red hue,

the both boys walked to the couch taking their seats and joined in different conversations while Sooyoung noticed Taehyung's sad mood, 

"i am pretty sure they are friends" Sooyoung said smiling sheepishly at Taehyung, who nodded and smiled but soon enough they saw Jungkook laying on Minghao's chest

"yeah pretty sure they are, I am just going out to the balcony okay" Taehyung said sarcastically and before Sooyoung could say anything, the older boy left already upstairs 

"where is he going?" Jungkook asked and Sooyoung glared at him internally but shook her head,

"he needed fresh air for sometime" 

<><><><><><><><><><>

"hey you good?" Jungkook asked as he entered the balcony, Taehyung looked shocked at him and then nodded smiling,

be or spend time with someone who is willingly spending time with you, someone who will try as much in the relationship as you, don't be with someone who make you feel alone even when you are not. don't be with someone who doesn't see you in the way you see them

"why are you up here, where's Minghao" Taehyung asked stuffing his hands on to the jeans pocket

"he left a minute ago" Jungkook said and Taehyung sighed

"so you are here because he left and you have no one now?" Taehyung asked and Jungkook looked at him wide-eyed but before he could protest Taehyung began ranting and Jungkook chose to listen

"why do you keep doing this? why do you treat me like a second choice, are you forced to be with me? to this point i feel you don't even like my company. you go hang out with Eunwoo but when he became bad you came to me, when Minghao left you came to me. this happens everytime, i am tired kook. I can't keep acting weak to you--"

by this time, Taehyung was in tears and Jungkook's eyes were heavy,

"--but, i have no choice. when i see you i feel like forgiving you and being with you all over again. i am ready to be the second choice when i am with you, that's the only way i can spend time with you. i am ready to be tired for you and i am already weak for you. you keep giving me mixed signals. i don't even know or fuck it i don't even want to escape from this. It's really frustrating for me to watch the guy i like being---why are you smiling--oh shit"

and that was all that it took Jungkook to smile and thank Minghao for his plan

"it's fine i-if you don't like me b-back, i-i mean you have minghao now i g----"

"Minghao is dating someone already"

"oh so he is c-cheating?"

"no it was his plan, his plan to make you jealous" Jungkook said and Taehyung looked at him with his eyes all glossy,

"i was confused you know, most importantly hurt as fuck. Imagine liking your sister's ex. but soon i figured and asked myself 'is it worth to leave this?' 'its fair for me to be happy right?' and Heejin being the fool began telling me to like you. and for this once i want to be happy, and that is something i hope to get from you. and uhm shit i forgot my line, i was going to say something iconic- the fuck was i supposed to say oh yeah---"

Taehyung interrupted him by leaping forward and grabbing the younger's neck and pulling him forward, pressing his lips against the younger's. he pressed firmly as both of their cheeks began being fed by tears continuously, tears interrupting all the time. Jungkook kissed back as well taking his hands and placing it around the latter's neck as Taehyung grabbed his waist and began sucking his lower lip,

both pulled away for breathing but before Jungkook could say anything, Taehyung again went ahead and grabbed his lips kissing him all over again, this time messily as their tongues brushed past each other, after a while Taehyung pulled away, he looked at the younger who was breathing heavily

"i don't think i'll ever stop kissing them" Jungkook smiled and hugged him tightly,

"i like you"

"i like you too"
