taehyung skipped giddily along throughout the movie theater with an angry looking yoongi trailing behind him.

yoongi had been thrilled that jeongguk and taehyung talked, and it had looked like taehyung really enjoyed himself while doing so.

but he should've known not to promise something so big. he hated going to the movie theater, especially romances, and his bestfriend who was the biggest fan of both of those things was his only companion.

"aren't you just so excited?" taehyung asked happily, a few feet in front of yoongi.

"sure." yoongi replied, trying not to sound too bored. this should at least be enjoyable for one of them, and he didn't want to ruin that.

"i've been wanting to see this movie for ages, i'm so ready! can we go get snacks?" taehyung was talking rather fast, still skipping slowly.

"mmhmmm." yoongi hummed with a sigh, trying his hardest not to facepalm.

taehyung noticed this, and stopped skipping, letting yoongi walk in front of him. he grabbed the black haired's wrist, and turned him around so they were facing each other.

"could you at least try and pretend to be excited?" taehyung whined with a small pout on his lips.

yoongi sighed, and looked down. "i'm sorry, of course i can."

then he looked back up at taehyung and gave a small closed mouth smile. "yay, romance!" he cheered, and taehyung's pout deepened.

"i'm not buying it."

yoongi sighed again, this time louder.

"yay! romance!" he repeated, but this time his lips curled up into a big gummy smile, making taehyung flash his box one involuntarily.

"that's the spirit!" taehyung squeaked, and then linked arms with yoongi and began skipping again.

yoongi was still walking normally though, which was making it hard for taehyung to skip.

"skip!" he hissed, giving yoongi a nudge with his elbow.

"no."

"skip!"

"no way."

"please just skip with me!"

"okay."

"wait, really?"

"no."

"fine."

"that was so good! i almost cried when he almost died, but then he was like 'sike bitch i'm not dead' and then came back and kissed her but she was like 'oh but i've found someone new' and then the new guy was an asshole and then they got together again and just wow. i loved it."

taehyung rambled as they stepped out of the theater, yoongi with the same bored expression on his face again.

taehyung was now panting after basically telling the whole plot of the movie in one breath, and yoongi was internally groaning because he knew taehyung would be talking about this movie for the next week or so.

"that was so good, don't ya think?" taehyung asked breathlessly.

"yeah, totally?"

taehyung raised an eyebrow, the smile dropping off his face.

"why did you say that like it was a question?"

yoongi shrugged. "uhh i don't know?"

"were you even paying attention at all?" taehyung whined, his shoulder's slumping at his incompetent bestfriend.

"i totally was, i swear."

yoongi was bullshitting.

he had fallen asleep during the movie. twice.

"really? then tell me what the main character's name was." taehyung folded his arms as they stood on the front steps of the theater.

"it was uh-"

suddenly, yoongi saw his saving grace.

his saving grace happened to be named jeon jungkook, and also happened to be already hanging out with four other people.

but who cares about that?

he broke off mid sentence, despite a glaring taehyung, to call out to the black haired.

"jeongguk!" he yelled.

the aforementioned turned around, eyebrows furrowed in confusion as to who was calling his name.

then he saw yoongi and clearly relaxed, his mouth forming a small smile.

"yoongi!" he waved, and then spotted taehyung.

"taehyung!" taehyung gave him a shy smile in return, and a tiny wave.

jeongguk gestured for them to come over to where the other boys were standing, and despite taehyung's internal protests, both boys found themselves walking over there.

they were sitting on a bench, with jeongguk and one other guy that had gray hair standing up.

they had seemingly just seen a movie, and taehyung noticed that literally all of them were attractive.

"hey guys." jeongguk said when they came over, and taehyung was about to say hi back when he was interrupted by a loud voice.

"if you didn't want us to argue, than you shouldn't have brought him!" a boy with orange hair yelled at the one with gray hair, his voice snippy.

as he said him though his voice sounded venomous, and he gestured towards the one with brown hair.

"like i wanted to come." the brown haired one mumbled under his breath. carrot top looked like he was about to explode.

"seriously? you didn't want to come? you're lucky you got to come and be blessed by my presence you asshat!"

his face nearly turned red, and the subject of his yelling took a deep breath, and then glared daggers at the boy.

"what did you just call me?"

there was a peach haired boy in between them, and he looked super nervous to be in the middle of their yelling.

"i said asshat! did i stutter?" the orange haired boy cocked his head at the other mockingly.

"did you actually just say that? that's it-"
brown hair looked like he was about to stand up and fight the other, and taehyung's eyes widened.

luckily though, they were stopped by peach.

"STOP! jeongguk's friends are here you dickwads!" he hit them both on the chest, making them both emit little ow's.

"fine."

"i'm sorry."

they mumbled in unison, and then shot each other one last glare before switching their attention to taehyung and yoongi.

"anyways," jeongguk laughed nervously, embarrassed about the fact that happened in front of taehyung and yoongi.

"this is yoongi," everyone gave yoongi a small wave, "and this is taehyung." they did the same for taehyung, and both boys waved back, taehyung a bit shyly.

there was a few "hi yoongi"s and "hi taehyung"s murmured out collectively.

all the boys introduced themselves, and taehyung thought he could tell who was who if asked.

he also learned that the two boys arguing were named seokjin and jimin, and he continuously caught them glaring at each other.

"so, what movie did you guys see?" taehyung asked, trying to make small talk.

"we saw this new movie called rampant, it's an action movie and it was really-" hoseok began to talk about it, but yoongi quickly interrupted him.

"an action movie? tell me all about it and then some." he said eagerly, and walked over to the bench, squeezing between seokjin and hoseok.

"what movie did you guys see?" jeongguk asked taehyung.

jeongguk took a few steps forward so he was closer to taehyung, and so they could talk without having to hear them hollering about an action scene where someone drove a car off a cliff.

"oh, you probably wouldn't like it." taehyung looked down at his shoes shyly.

"try me." jeongguk smiled, and taehyung looked up, his dark brown eyes locking with his.

"it was a romance movie..." taehyung's cheeks dusted pink, and he looked back down at his shoes again, waiting for jeongguk to laugh.

"lucky, i love romance movies."

taehyung perked up immediately, eyes widened in surprise.

"wait, really?"

jeongguk arched an eyebrow.

"why, is that surprising or something?" he asked. he wasn't offended, just kind of wanted to tease the older.

"no, not at all. just most other dudes i meet don't like romance, is all." taehyung smiled.

"well i guess i'm not like most other people then."

taehyung gave a small nod, and then looked over at the other boys.

hoseok was telling the entire movie plot animatedly, seokjin and namjoon we're acting some parts out, jimin was making small sound effects and yoongi was watching with wide eyes, captivated.

taehyung laughed and pointed, causing jeongguk to look and laugh with him.

"i'm glad yoongi seems to fit in well." taehyung remarked, still chuckling.

jeongguk hummed and started tapping his foot, putting his hands in his pockets.

"was the movie good?"

taehyung nodded excitedly, his box smile returning once again.

"yes! the girl and the guy were-" he started to ramble about it, but jeongguk hushed him.

"hold on, i have a question before you spoil it." he said, and taehyung felt a bit disappointed that he had been interrupted.

"okay." taehyung said softly, and jeongguk noticed his tone. he felt his heart pang slightly at the sound, taehyung looked sad. but it was all part of his plan, he had to keep in mind.

"was it good enough to where you'd recommend it to a friend?" he asked curiously, and taehyung looked at him.

"yeah, for sure."

jeongguk continued.

"would you be willing to see it again?"

taehyung blinked in confusion.

"yeah probably, why do you as-"

"let me rephrase." jeongguk reached his hand out, and grabbed taehyung's with it.

"would you want to go see it again, but with me?"

he felt nervousness pool in his stomach. he had never been good at this romance stuff, even though he had watched a million romance movies and listened to a trillion love songs.

but when taehyung's cheeks turned pink and his eyes widened, any regret and fear jeongguk had, disappeared.

"like a d-date?" taehyung squeaked.

"yes, like a date."

the disappointment taehyung felt when jeongguk had interrupted him melted away at that very moment, and was replaced with a giddy feeling.

happiness.

but he was a bit hesitant.

"you do realize this is the second time we've ever spoken." taehyung said, squeezing jeongguk's hand lightly and then letting go, not breaking eye contact.

jeongguk laughed, he technically was right. "actually third, if you count when i texted you and you left me on read."

"bringing that up i see."

they both laughed, and taehyung looked at him shyly. "if i go to this movie, will you never bring that up again?"

"yes." jeongguk said quickly, and they both chuckled. "plus i'll pay for you."

"then totally i'd go see it with you."

"really?"

"yes, really."

"i didn't take you for a gold digger taehyung."

taehyung hit him lightly on the arm, but they both giggled afterwards.

jeongguk had never been a fuckboy necessarily, but he had gotten his fair share of girls in his high school career.

so they fact that his heart was beating that fast by just standing there? he had never been that shy before, but he could still feel a slight warmth from where the others arm had hit him, and it made him smile.

it scared him.

but jeongguk was never one for toxic masculinity, so he couldn't find it in himself to care.

"oh, and i'm sorry i interrupted you. as much as i would love to listen to you talk, i didn't want to spoil the movie." jeongguk smiled sheepishly, not being able to look anywhere but at taehyung's face that was slowly tinting pink.

"it's okay, i'm glad you stopped me."

taehyung on the other hand, was absolutely terrified.

they were going on a whole date! what happened to not letting himself get hurt?

but something about jeongguk made him think that just maybe, he was okay to like? that he wasn't going to shatter taehyung's heart?

he just decided to see how the date went, and then judge from there.

because even if he wanted to, he probably wouldn't have been able to say no to jeongguk's offer.

and that scared him even more.
