An excruciating pain rung through Taehyung's head as he opened his eyes to daylight. Jimin was snoring quietly next to him and he groaned, pressing his palms against his eyes. The shorter still didn't wake up and so Taehyung sat up, scratching his head. The taller looked beside him at Jimin. Taehyung nudged Jimin roughly.

"Yah, Jimin-ah, wake up." Taehyung groggily called. Jimin's eyes opened and he immediately squinted.

"Why?" Jimin asked, his voice croaky. Taehyung yawned, his head still pounding.

"I need medicine."

Jimin rubbed his eyes and opened them fully. "You don't need medicine, you need soup." Jimin got up from the bed and put on his slippers. "I'll be right back." He said and left the room. Taehyung massaged his head as he waited for the other male to return.

Jimin soon came back with a bowl of hangover soup and handed it to Taehyung. "Here, have this." Jimin pushed a spoon in Taehyung's hand and watched as the taller neglected the utensil before lifting the bowl to his mouth and chugging the soup down whole. Jimin shrugged. "Well, that's certainly another way to do it."

Taehyung sighed after finishing the bowl. Jimin put it on the desk and turned back to the taller, who collapsed backwards onto the sheets. The shorter fidgeted with his fingers. "Tae?"

"What?"

"D-Do you remember anything from last night...?" Jimin questioned, gulping. Taehyung scratched his neck. He tried to think back to the events from yesterday. Party...Dong-hyun...Bottle...Bitter...Alcohol? Taehyung's head was already pounding tremendously and he had a hard time remembering. He got drunk, which is pretty obvious. Jimin took him home...KISS! Taehyung's eyes widened and he quickly sat up. Jimin took that as a signal that Taehyung remembered exactly what he did. "So you do rem—"

"It didn't mean anything." Taehyung curtly interrupted, looking at the shorter. Jimin's face fell.

"O-Oh." Jimin mumbled, breaking eye contact with the taller and looking down at his feet. Taehyung laid down and turned around, facing the wall. Jimin felt embarrassed and angry, if anything. He wanted to yell at the other, but knew it wouldn't do anything except cause arguments. However, Jimin still felt puzzled about one thing. "How come when you're sober, Ha-eun is all you think about, but when you're drunk...I'm on your m-mind." Jimin muttered, but Taehyung heard it.

What a good question and one Taehyung couldn't answer as he didn't know either. Silence enveloped them and Jimin could hear his own heart beating in his ears. Taehyung sighed. "Because when I'm in my right mind, I think about my girlfriend. The one I should be thinking about..." Taehyung bit his lip.

"But when I'm raw, all I want is you."

No. He couldn't say that, it's ridiculous. Taehyung inhaled before continuing. "But when I'm drunk, I tend to spew nonsense." The taller deadpanned, still not meeting the other male's eyes. Jimin's heart just broke for the nth time and he cursed himself for asking such a self-destructive question.

"Okay, then." Jimin replied, deciding to leave the room. Taehyung heard the bedroom door shut and thoughts started swimming rapidly through his mind.

Maybe his heart belongs to someone else after all...

Jimin walked through the hallway with Namjoon. Jin was absent today since he caught a fever, which was unfortunate. Their classes had just finished and the two boys decided to go study in the library for their upcoming physics exam. Jimin knew that Taehyung was still at school since he saw the taller hanging out with a group of his friends near the basketball court. Jimin wanted to avoid him.

Namjoon sat down at a booth and motioned Jimin to grab some extra pillows from the vacant booth beside them. The shorter followed instructions and the two got comfortable as they opened up their laptops and textbooks.

"Ah, screw physics." Namjoon groaned, crossing his arm over his chest and massaging his tense shoulder muscle. Jimin hummed, agreeing with him.

"Don't worry, hyung. Graduation will come faster than you know it." Jimin winked at the older. Namjoon chuckled.

"Indeed it will."

Suddenly, voices could be heard from a shelf near them. The two boys looked at each other curiously, seeming to communicate through the eyes. The conversation between the mystery people behind the shelf seemed heated. They were arguing. It was a female voice and a male voice. Jimin knew it was wrong to eavesdrop, but he couldn't help leaning in a bit. Namjoon looked at him, holding his breath.

"Oppa, I can't break up with him!" An annoying, high pitched voice whined. Jimin could've sworn it was Ha-eun, but his ears could be playing tricks on him.

The male voice spoke. "Babe, I can't keep this relationship with you in secret. Break up with Taehyung if you want to stay with me." Dong-hyun. Jimin eyes widened as he turned back to Namjoon and mouthed the names. The older's mouth turned into an 'O', even more curious as to what the argument is about. The voices ceased.

Jimin furrowed his eyebrows. Maybe they began to whisper since they knew people were in the library? Just then, smooching sounds started coming from the shelves and Jimin's face scrunched up in disgust. Ewwww.

A light bulb went up in Namjoon's head. He reached over and tapped Jimin on the shoulder urgently. "Go get Taehyung!" Namjoon whisper-shouted. "He'll finally realise Ha-eun is cheating on him!"

Jimin didn't have to be told twice. He stood up, bolting out of the library doors. Their school was quite large and so it took a few minutes for Jimin to reach the basketball court. Luckily, he spotted Taehyung leaning against the tall wire fence of the court with some of his friends. They were all laughing and talking. Jimin ran up to them, panting. Everyone quietened down at the shorter's sudden arrival.

Taehyung was taken aback, but instead he just raised an eyebrow. "Why are you here?" The taller questioned and the other boys watched in anticipation. Jimin wasn't exactly the most popular in their year.

"I-I need to show you something in the l-library." Jimin's chest fell up and down, his breathing jagged. Taehyung's friends snickered.

"Oohhh, Taehyung should go study with his nerdy bitch!" They cheered. "Go on Tae, maybe he'll let you do him instead of doing math questions, if ya know what I mean." One of them wiggled his eyebrows at Taehyung. The latter rolled his eyes, shoving the guy's shoulder and glaring at Jimin. Nonetheless, he followed a red-faced Jimin out of the basketball court as his friends hooted behind them.

"This better be worth it." Taehyung grumbled. Jimin swallowed his nerves as they made their way back to the library where a fateful scene was awaiting them.
