~Friday Evening~

Ugh, this is awkward. Why can't noona just message him herself, how does she have Tae's number anyway...whatever, it IS an excuse to put his number in your phone. GAH, nope. Jungkook stops himself and gives his face a little slap before reaching out to Tae.

Jungkook: Hey, um this is Jungkook, my mom wanted me to check in and see how your wound was doing?

Taehyung: Oh, why didn't she just call me? Hmm, I feel 96% better, the remaining 4% being the part of me that desperately needs some ramen. Please give her my thanks. Also, maybe peep in her mind to not mention this to my folks? I'll get my ass kicked if they find out I went into town by myself anyway.. *sigh*

Jungkook doesn't quite understand why a 20 year old man isn't allowed to leave home by himself, however he doesn't put much thought to it because frankly: that is a small pebble on mountain of things he wants to know about Taehyung.

As much as he hates admitting it, he thinks that Jimin might actually be onto something about Tae being someone Jungkook could be interested in. No, what, no I don't want a mate. I refuse.

Jungkook: Yeah lol I'm not sure either. She's really busy though, so I'm sure she just had me do it to have one less thing on her plate. I don't think you have to worry about her telling your parents. She isn't like that...she's saved my ass from my father more times than I can count.

Taehyung: Alright, well thanks again. Ttyl.

Damn, I should've said something to keep the conversation going. Frustrated at how boring he can be sometimes. Jungkook just sets his phone down and rolls over. Falling asleep to the image of Taehyung laughing hysterically with a big boxy grin and crescents for eyes.

Fuck you, Jimin.

_____

Taehyung is sitting up doing his nightly routine whenever he senses a certain grumpy wolf right outside his room.

"Knock knock mother fucker, you've got some explaining to do."

Tae can't help but laugh at Yoongi's attempt of being scary while waltzing in wearing pjs with a cartoon character on them. He giggles a little until he sees Yoongi's pissed off expression. (a/n: these are the PJS Yoongi is wearing when he barges into taetae's room)

"Why good evening to you too, what exactly do I need to explain?"

"ISTG Tae, I've got no patience for your bullshit today. Seokjin-hyung was following me around ALL day, questioning where you were and wondering why I wasn't with you. FUCK! I know it's annoying being together 24/7 but your dad's will have my head on a stick if I don't stay close to you." He pauses, taking a whiff of an unusual, yet familiar scent on Taehyungs body. "What business did you have with the Solar pack today? You smell like their Luna."

Tae can feel the redness rising up to his ears at the mention of Asuna. Fuck, there really is no lying to someone who's with you your entire life. Taking a very exaggerated sigh and rolling his eyes on several occasions, Tae explains all of this mornings details with Yoongi.

Not sure what kind of response he was expecting, Tae was pleasantly surprised to see Yoongi laughing as hard as he was whenever Tae got to the part of Jungkook going all beast-mode on Jay in the school's quad.

"Holy shit Tae, I mean I know you're good looking or whatever—but Kook is like the most level headed guy at that school, and he lashed out like that.. over you? What'd you do, mark him?"

And here comes the red feeling up into Tae's ears again.

"Absolute-the fuck-not. For your information, I'm not sure what that lil bunny's deal is. Saw him once spazzing out because he almost missed his train and caught him staring at me. Other than that, today was honestly our first interaction."

Though Taehyung would be lying to himself if he didn't admit that he thought Jungkook looked incredibly sexy fending off that pervert. Shaking his head before moving his attention back to Yoongi, who is still laughing his ass off picturing Jungkook in a vicious light.

"Well, I'm glad Kook was there considering we both would be dead right now had you come home with a wound as bad as you described."

"Oh yeah, speaking of dead, will you call that little pest you call a best friend? Once again he blew up my phone all day trying to get ahold of you." Yoongi said with an exasperated tone.

"Aww, come on. You've gotta give him a chance eventually Yoongs. What if he's your mate?!"

"Look Tae, despite all of the manga/anime you spend your time on, real life isn't you knowing immediately that someone's your mate. Besides Jimun annoys the fuck out of me."

"JI-MIN. Don't be so rude. Well, you've only dealt with him when he's trying to accomplish something. I'll admit, determined Jimin can be a pain in the ass. Get to know the relaxed side of him tomorrow night when we go to Cana's party."

"We're going to that? Why?"

"I dunno. I've been bored and Bogum invited me this morning. I figured I'd say yeah."

"PARK? Why would you go with him? Isn't he on that team of fuckers that are all trying to get in your pants?"

Taehyung almost forgot about that this morning, until he was forcefully reminded of his appeal by that prick in the bathroom. Letting out a loud sigh, "Yeah, I know but I've known Bogum for awhile. He's a friend or whatever. Besides I'll have you and Kookie" he says barely able to hold back his laughter "in case things go sour."

"Don't have a choice in this do I? Whatever. Just don't fucking bother me until then. I will be sleeping from now until we have to leave tomorrow."

"DEAL! Goodnight, SUGAAA" Tae says while blowing kissy faces as Yoongi rises his middle finger, leaving the room like a sloth.

9:15 p.m.

V: Bogumie! I'm down, I'll be bringing my friends though. Is it okay if they tag along? It'll just be Jimin and Yoongi..

|

Wait, Jimin is good friends with Jungkook, he will probably want to invite him to go with us.

|

Oh and you know Junglebook? He might come too, idk tho, I haven't talked to Jiminie yet. I'll let you know. Ttyl!

Kook, aye? Hmph.. so I guess he really was ogling V that day in the cafeteria.

Park BG: Oh, Jungkook? Couldn't really see you hanging out with a normie like him. Either way, I don't mind. The more the merrier, as long as you walk through the doors with me. 😉 Goodnight V! I'll see you guys tomorrow at 7 sharp.

Taehyung read the message, wondering what Bogum meant by that. Oh well. Shortly after, he drifted off to sleep.

~The next morning~

"Taetae!!!! Wake up!! I missed you!!"

Tae rolls over, groggy and puffy faced. Wondering why the hell Jimin is giving him a wake up call.

"Jiminieee... I want to go back to sleep. Why are you here?"

"Ouch, seriously Tae? We're getting our hair done today, remember?! We said we wanted to switch up our look before that big festival in a couple weeks. The one your parents keep bugging you about!!"

Fuck, that hair appointment was today? Ugh whatever, Tae thought to himself as he stumbled over to his closet picking out a big baggy white T shirt and some Gucci pants. Not caring one bit, that his shirt leaves his neck and collarbone completely exposed.

"Alright, I'm ready, let's go"

"Yay! Hey speaking of parties, we're going together to Cana's party tonight right?"

"Oh shit, yeah I forgot to tell you that Bogum wants to pick us up."

Jimin lifts his eyebrows in a concerned manner. "And why the hell is Park Bogum picking us up, Taetae?"

Woah, what's this vibe I'm getting? "Hey, Mr.constantlybuggingmetofindamate and getdickalready. He invited me and I said I'd go with him as long as I could bring my friends. I even included Junglebook in the invite, so you can invite him if you want."

"Yah! Tae, you're so annoying. I don't want you to find ANY mate, I want you to give Kookie a chance. C'mon you're hot, he's hot, neither of you have mates.. it's perfect."

"Well with that method of justification, then Bogum should be a perfectly find candidate as well, he's goodlooking too." Definitely not as hot as Jungkook but Tae would never give Jimin that satisfaction. "Besides, Kook freaks me out a little. I've only had two interactions with him and his stares are intense. He looks at me like I'm an alien or something."

Jimin is currently staring at his gorgeous bestfriend wondering how the hell he made it to twenty years of age being this. Fucking. Dense.

"Whatever, I'll bring Kookie with me later. For now, let's go my hair is in desperate need of a soak and some dye"

~four hours and a lot of hair dye later~

Jungkook grumbles as he rolls over to the sound of overly excited knocking on his door. Knowing that only one person ever knocks on his door like that. Jimin.

"Sup, chim?" Jungkook still hasn't fully opened his eyes so he hasn't seen Jimin's drastic hair change yet.

"I'm here to help you get your man!"

WTF is all that Jungkook can think before he looks up at Jiimin and says WTF again to himself.

"YAH! CHIM. WHAT HAPPENED TO YOUR BLONDE HAIR?"

"I needed a change, I've got my eyes on someone. However, I can't make my move until that someone gets released from a leash that is currently being held by a very attractive BRUNETTE at this moment" Jimin says with a knowing grin making it's way across his mouth.

Wondering what the hell Jimin is smirking like that for. Knowing Jimin, it could be literally anything.

"Anyways, what were you saying about helping me 'get my man' I don't have a man that I need help with" or maybe I do...FUCK, Jungkook doesn't realize his mental panic is painted all over his face.

"Listen, we're leaving in an hour and a half to go to Taehyung's place. Then me, you, Tae, Yoongi and Bogum are heading to Cana's party."

TAEHYUNG'S, fuck NO. Jungkook wishes he didn't want to go. He wishes he wasn't feeling a really weird feeling in his stomach that he can't explain. And he REALLY wishes, that Bogum's name wasn't on that list.

"Bogum? I didn't know you hungout with him Chim. Is that the guy you're going after?" Jungkook asked, praying, that Bogum was there for Jimin and not Tae.

Jimin isn't stupid. He can sense the animosity growing in his best friend's stomach. "Nope, Bogum is actually escorting Taetae, but Tae—being the absolute fucking angel that he is—decided to include you, Yoongi and myself on their little date." Jimin made sure to emphasize the word date, hoping to evoke a reaction from Jungkook and BOY did he get one.

Jungkook didn't even realize that once again, his tongue was about to pierce a whole through his cheek whenever Jimin mentioned the word 'date' when referencing Tae and Bogum.

I'm not letting that fucker beat me.

"Well, I guess we can't be so rude as to decline. Help me pick out something good chim. I might be ready to find myself a mate tonight." Jungkook says while displaying a sly smile, hoping Jimin couldn't hear the thoughts he had in his head.

They were not, PG.

A/N:  I hope that if you're reading this that you have enjoyed this story so far.

I plan for things to speed up a little between Taekook pretty soon. So get ready for some angst and some other stuff , in upcoming chapters😉

Oh and here's a Yoongi appreciation pic because this is the most we've seen of him so far in the story.
