'I will bring on you the blood vengeance of my wrath and jealous anger.'

"We need to decide which song we're going to perform?"

"I vote the one where we lift up our shirts," Jimin offered up, to which Taehyung vehemently shook his head to.

Honestly, he was starting to think he was more virtuous than these supposedly Christian boys. The band had been debating which song to perform at the talent show for over two hours, every member having a completely different view on the matter.

The whole time he felt uneasy. Not because of the constant bickering between the members, but because he was sandwiched in between Jungkook and Jimin. The whole time the pair had been fighting for his attention, and he could feel the uneasy tension in the air. God, Jungkook is really protective over me, Taehyung thought to himself as he noticed the way Jungkook glared at Jimin - one of his best friends - whenever Jimin's hand so much as went near Taehyung's thigh.

Taehyung had done a lot of thinking the night before. He needed to stop whatever the arrangement was between him and Jungkook if he wanted to seriously pursue something with Jimin. There was something about being stuck in the camp which was messing with his emotions. He felt so...weird all the time. He felt...happy most of the time.

"I say we just perform Boy With Luv. Not only is it an original, but I'm sure we can all relate to it," Namjoon said, his eyes fixed on Jin whose ears became red quickly.

Why is Jungkook not more upset at Namjoon clearly showing his feelings for Jin, Taehyung thought to himself as he looked at the younger with a confused face. Namjin were practically declaring their love for each other right in front of him, but he had a spaced out look in his eyes.

"Obviously Hoseok is going to lead the dancing, but we need one other main leader to help him choreograph. Who wants to show us their moves?" Namjoon asked, and Jimin's arm flew up. After looking over, Jungkook also put up his hand, the pair glaring at each other behind their fake smiles.

Yep, it was becoming a little too tense for Taehyung.

"Well you can both audition..." Namjoon said a little uneasily, "I swear you both know the dance to Coming of Age Ceremony."

Taehyung was pretty sure at this point that he was being constantly filmed for a prank show. Why did these church boys know the dance routine that involved a freaking crotch grab?

Jungkook jumped up, heading straight for the front of the room, and Jimin quickly followed. Taehyung sensed that something very bad was going to happen.

His thoughts were confirmed when the music began.

As the music continued, the pair continued to dance provocatively and seductively. However, Taehyung couldn't help feel like both their eyes were fixed on him for some unknown reason. The air in the room suddenly felt a lot stuffier, and as the pair both tried to outdo each other Taehyung felt his discomfort grow.

It was the way Jungkook looked at him which unsettled him the most. It was like something had possessed his sweet friend and replaced him with someone who had real anger brewing inside him.

When the song finished, the two boys didn't hug. They didn't shake hands. They didn't even look at each other. There was some unknown tension in the air, tension between the two boys.

It was an unanimous decision that both of them would help Hoseok choreograph. Taehyung left the room at the first moment he could.

"Did you see the way Jungkook was looking at him?" Jimin vented to Jin as the pair sat inside drinking coffee, "He was practically eye-fucking my boyfriend!"

"Not your boyfriend yet..." Jin added, but Jimin wasn't listening.

"I can't believe I hadn't noticed before. He's always trying to split us up. It's because he fucking likes him!"

Jimin was practically bubbling with anger. He had noticed the small glint in Jungkook's eye when he walked into the practice room with Taehyung's around him. Taehyung was too busy talking about something to think too much about where his hand was, but Jimin definitely noticed. And he noticed the way Jungkook reacted to it.

As the practice continue, he could almost smell the desperation and thirst that was coming off Jungkook. And he was disgusted.

Ever since him and Jungkook had been friends, they had always had each other's back. And the fact that Jungkook was going as far to compete against his best friend for a boy deeply hurt Jimin. What happened to bros before hoes?

In this case, the hoe was the tall drink of water that was Taehyung. Jimin's anger dissolved a little as he watched Taehyung lounge around outside topless with Namjoon.

"Look at our sexy men," Jin commented, winking at Namjoon who waved back at him.

Jimin's moment of brief happiness was broken by the sight of Jungkook running up to Taehyung in the tiniest swimming shorts he had ever seen. Jimin rolled his eyes violently.

"Open the window, I want to hear what they're saying," Jimin barked, and Jin did as he was told, now slightly scared of the younger.

"Taehyungie!" Jimin heard Jungkook squeal, "Will you carry me to the lake?"

"Why doesn't Namjoon do it?" Taehyung said, giving Jungkook a small wink when the elder wasn't looking.

"But I want you Tae..."

"Jungkook," Taehyung whispered to him, "I'm doing you a big favour. Here's your chance!"

And as Namjoon picked Jungkook up and flung the younger over his shoulder, all Jungkook could do was pretend to smile as Taehyung waved at him. Before he knew it, Taehyung was walking inside.

Why?

To find Jimin of course.

Jungkook felt like he just couldn't win.

Bit of a filler, but the start of a potential jikook rivalry!
