"Who was that again?"

"Yah, Min Yoongi, pay attention when I talk, will you?" Seokjin hits Yoongi with his textbook.

"Ah hyung, that hurts!" Yoongi groans as he leans back on his chair.

"Now you are awake." Seokjin smiles at him.

"That's Taeyeon, I heard that name somewhere." Hoseok thinks about it for a second. "Oh yes, she is Taehyung's friend. You may have seen her with him."

"Taehyung? That boxy smile guy?" Seokjin asks.

"Weirdly, hyung remembers all the guys he met but not girls." Yoongi mocks.

"Because he is into guys Yoongi hyung," Hoseok responds.

"Yah, talk later will you? Tell me about this now!"

Hoseok sees how annoyed Seokjin was. "Hyung, she is a friend of Taehyung. They have been friends since high school. But here is the twist." He leans towards them as he now puts his game face on.

"What twist?" Yoongi asks as he is finally interested in the hot gossip.

"You remember Jungkook? The one who competed with you in the Mr Popular contest? The one who lost the title to you with only a few votes."

"Oh, that muscular guy?"

"Yes, so these 3 are a thing."

Yoongi almost spat his cold drink. "What the hell does that mean?"

"See, I heard from my sources." Hoseok finally adds. Hoseok is one of the people who knows almost every hot gossip and stuff. Therefore, Seokjin decided to speak with him regarding the same. "Jungkook and Taeyeon were friends way before Taehyung's entry. These 3 of them were best friends but now they are dating."

"Dating? Like is there any love triangle?"

"A complicated one."

"Just spill the Sprite will you?" Seokjin was annoyed now. Too much suspense. "I am stressed right now and may get acne." He retaliates.

"Okay! In this group, Jungkook is bi, Taehyung is gay and Taeyeon is straight. Jungkook likes both of them and they like Jungkook back so he is kind of double dating both of them."

Yoongi and Seokjin weren't able to believe what they heard. They exchange glances. "Is that even right?"

"As long as they are fine with it."

"Seems like a small open relationship." Yoongi chuckle. "Wait, so do Taeyeon and Taehyung-"

"Nah, they are sworn enemies. They are friends but their relationship with each other is mostly like love-hate but one thing I must say about them."

"What?"

"It's hard to share your loved one with others, it's hard to stand that person but both of them have been living in perfect harmony with each other. They both bully each other but then cannot stand when the other is being bullied by an outsider. Seems like deep down their rivalry, they still have a soft side for each other since they were once good friends."

"Maybe they value their friendship and as long as both of them are loved, they are okay," Yoongi adds.

"Interesting."

"Okay, now tell me why were you asking about them? it's not that you are casually interested in them. Who do you like? Taehyung? Jungkook?"

"My problem is with Taeyeon."

"Taeyeon? Hyung, you don't even like girls." Yoongi mocks.

"Who do you like exactly?" Hoseok asks.

"Namjoon,"

"Namjoon? What that has to do with Taeyeon?" Yoongi asks.

"Everything!"

Yoongi and Hoseok look at each other. They were confused.

+

"Thanks to you that I have been added to his bad book." You smack his forearm.

Namjoon chuckles. "Why are you afraid of him? Come on, he just looks like he would kill someone but he cannot even kill a bug it seems."

"Yah! I don't want to mess up with Seokjin. He is too hot to be messed with."

Namjoon coughs. "Don't be afraid of that Joke guy when you have a Mr Dimple guy as your friend."

You roll your eyes. "You lied when you said that stuff about hitting on me, right?"

"Of course, I lied. I wanted to get rid of that Joke guy. You presented yourself over there which made things easy for me. Now that he knows, he won't dare to bother me. At least I hope so..."

"So does that mean, you are straight right?"

"Ain't telling you that." He winks.

"Always a mystery." You sip the bubble tea that he got you.

+

"Here is your coffee." Namjoon hands the cup to the guy.

The guy leaves after thanking Namjoon.

"Hi,"

Namjoon looks at the male standing in front of him, his smile now vanished.

"What do you want?" He asks with a stern voice.

"Your number," Seokjin answers with a straight face while Yoongi and Hoseok who were standing next to him cringe at the sight of their friend flirting.

"That's not on the menu," Namjoon responds bluntly. "Anything else?"

Yoongi and Hoseok look at each other. They were amazed by Namjoon, Seokjin's handsomeness doesn't seem to bother him. For as long as they remember, men don't even dare to look at anyone once they have the attention of Kim Seokjin but then now this was something interesting.

"How about a date then?" Seokjin asks.

"That is also not on the menu." Namjoon smiles mockingly as he stands still staring at the male.

Yoongi chuckles at the statement but ends up receiving a death glare from Seokjin.

"How about I teach you how to cook?" Seokjin scans the male a bit with his flirtatious eyes. "From the look of you, you seem someone who can burn the kitchen easily." Seokjin smiles. "I can teach you how to cut the onions, to begin with."

Seokjin leans on the counter. "I can be your teacher." He says with an alluring tone.

Hoseok almost lost it but he tried to pull himself together while Yoongi was having a hard time controlling his laughter. The scene was watchable and equally hilarious. It was the first time someone was being mean to 'The Seokjin'. They were living for this!

"Thanks, Joke guy, I am not interested in cooking but thanks for asking anyway," Namjoon responds and looks elsewhere and that's when he spots you walking towards the canteen entrance, ready to leave. He calls your name without any second thought.

You halt at the site, cursing in mind. You wanted to get a coffee for yourself but then you saw Seokjin and his friends at the counter. You didn't want to breathe the same air as them hence, you swiftly tried to run away but unfortunately, you were caught by Namjoon.

"Why I am always the one to get involved in such a situation?" You mutter as you look towards Namjoon. Seokjin was glaring at you. Hoseok and Yoongi were staring at you. It was awkward!

"Hi," you wave in tiny.

"What are you doing over there? Come here. Are you here to get your coffee?" Namjoon shouts.

"Nah, I don't drink coffee." You let out a fake laugh followed by a playful clap. "I don't even know the spelling of coffee senior." You chuckle as you look at Seokjin. "I am illiterate. I don't even drink or eat anything. haha.." You take an awkward pause. "I actually depend on photosynthesis for food."

What the hell are you talking about?

You curse yourself. What the hell was that? It was so awkward and stupid. Now Seokjin and his friends might think that you are an idiot.

"Don't worry, no one is going to ask you the spelling," Namjoon chuckles. "And what the hell are you talking about?" He laughs. "Come, get your coffee."

"Well, okay.." You mumbled.

"Yah Taeyeon, what are you doing in the canteen? Are you perhaps passing time?"

You look to your side and see Taehyung walking inside the canteen.

Everyone was looking at you two.

"Oh hi, Namjoon," Taehyung waves. "Hello, seniors." Taehyung slightly bows to the 3 seniors standing at the counter.

"Come on Taeyeon, move your feet. We need to complete our work." Taehyung grabs your forearm as he prepares to drag you outside.

"Sorry Namjoon, we need to complete our work. See you later." He says as he drags you outside.

You finally exhale as you walk outside the canteen. "What work are you talking about?"

"I don't have any business with you," Taehyung responds.

"Wait, you dragged me outside."

"I saw your pale face, you looked constipated there and by the look of that, it seems you were in a weird situation so I saved your ass."

"Yeah, I was. Thanks, Taehyung."

"Nevermind, you owe me one now," Taehyung says as he walks away.

You look at him. "Always the weird one." You smirk. "Yah! Wait for me."

+

"You saw that right?" Seokjin was frustrated. He angrily stomped his feet and stormed out of the canteen. His friends follow him.

"Yeah, we heard as well. He called you Joke guy. You have a nice nickname." Hoseok laughs and gives a high five to Yoongi.

"Yah! Not about that. I am talking about Taeyeon."

"Well, I don't think she has anything to do with Namjoon. She just looks like his friend."

"Yoongi is right, they always hang out together. Namjoon is pretty close to Taehyung and Jungkook as well. I have seen them together many times." Hoseok responds.

"Maybe Namjoon is the one who isn't interested in you so he is just using Taeyeon's name as an excuse."

Yoongi hums in agreement. "But why are you obsessed with him anyway? You are never this crazy about anyone hyung."

"You saw how Namjoon crushed his ego. Hyung must be mad at him. Just like in the drama where the girl doesn't like the guy back, the guy is all over the girl and tries to make her fall for him."

"Are we right, hyung?"

"Nah..." Seokjin responds. "See you guys later. Bye." He leaves without explaining.

"Hyung seems to like him a lot," Yoongi mutters as he watches the guy running toward the ground.

"Yoongi, there is something I noticed. I didn't want to say in front of hyung."

"What?"

"When Namjoon called Taeyeon and was looking at her, I saw something in his eyes."

"Meaning?"

"His eyes were gleaming." Hoseok answers. "They were different."

"Yah! That must be the canteen's light."

"Nah, this is a different light." Hoseok answers. "I hope that I am wrong."

"You always try to assume things Hoseok." Yoongi smacks his head lightly. "Let's go to the library. I am sleepy."

"Library is for studies."

"I pay library fees for sleeping. Do you have any problem?" Yoongi asks.

"Nah..."

"Let's go then!"
