Third Person's POV

Next day...

"Come on, Hoseok help me." Taehyung whined. The latter only laugh at him while shaking his head completely rejecting the latter.

"That's not really a good plan, Tae." The taller male frowned at him. How could he say that? He hasn't even started yet.

"It's their own life don't meddle in their business." He reason out, "Also, we don't know what really happened to them before. So it's a no, for me." Hoseok says and offers the latter a weak smile. He doesn't want to help Taehyung with his plan not just because of the ex-lovers past but because of Yoongi.

"The fuck. Where did your remaining brain cells go? The past has nothing to do with their present." Taehyung pointed out, "...and our dear Jungkook need to understand that." He added voice rough. He really need to get his shit together because they are both hurting each other, Taehyung thought silently.

"I don't think so Taehyung." Hoseok muttered expression sad, "It really matters if Jungkook had really done something unforgivable." Taehyung scoffed.

"Everyone deserves second chances. Jungkook is just plain stupid. That's it." Taehyung spat feeling more irritated as he think about it further.

"Why are you so obsessed to get them back together though?" Hoseok suddenly asked.

"Sungwoon likes Jimin." Taehyung says through gritted teeth, "I don't like him. He's so arrogant. When I see him all I could think is to smash his face and break his bones." Hoseok laughs at the younger male and ruffles his hair. Taehyung swat the other male's hand face annoyed.

"So you are only doing this because you hate Sungwoon?" Hoseok asks amused.

"Yeah, kind of but not really."

"What if it's Yoongi and not Sungwoon?" He asks, "Well he can have Jimin though." Hoseok felt a pang in his chest and Taehyung's eyes widened in surprise. He wasn't really serious about that, he was just joking but unfortunately in the wrong person. Silence fell between the two for a moment, Hoseok forced himself to smile and spoke first...

"Anyway, what if Jungkook loves him but the latter doesn't? If you will push that idea of yours, in the end you're just going to hurt Jungkook." Hoseok says as he tried to sound cheerful but Taehyung could see through the latter's eyes that he wasn't really okay.

"They both love each other." Taehyung mumbled coldly, "I'll go ahead." Taehyung says before walking away leaving Hoseok there all alone.

The taller male headed towards the rooftop to calm himself. As soon as he got there and the wind hit his face a faint smile appears in his lips.

Sometimes people just fall in love with the wrong person.. like him, he fall in love to someone he can't have...

Taehyung let out a heavy sighed.

Taehyung, Hoseok and Yoongi are childhood friends he accidentally fell for the latter but decided to hide it. He dated girls before for the reason he wanted to avert his attentions into someone else but when he realizes his heart only longing for Hoseok. Taehyung had stopped trying to date someone to forget. Now he only hooks up with girls that he is attracted to but no feelings attached.

Whatever.

It's not time to be dramatic. He needs to find way to make the two talk or have some simple interaction for closure.

That's right. He should only focus on the other's love story and not his.

"Sungwoon-ah!" Jimin called out but the latter didn't hear him. He was about to run after him when someone prevent him from doing it and block his way. Jimin look up at him curiously and furrowed his brows when he realizes it was Taehyung. Again. Jimin doesn't understand why Taehyung always appears wherever he goes.

"Hi, Tae." He greeted with a smile in his face and Taehyung smiled as well. With that the younger tried to walk past him but the taller won't let him. Jimin blinked his eyes in confusion, the younger male gestures him to move away instead face irritated.

"You're always with that guy." The taller male pointed out, Jimin chuckles irritation long forgotten. He sigh and look up at him expression amused.

"Just because you hate each other, I can't be with him anymore." The younger replied tone laced with amusement. Taehyung never failed to amaze him and make him laugh. He's such a kid.

"No, just because you are classmates and teammates you're going to be with him 24/7." Taehyung snarled. Jimin look down at his watch. It was already time to go home and he needs to ask Sungwoon if he can tutor him. He really needs tutoring as exams were nearing.

"I really need to go Tae." Jimin mumbled voice pleading. Taehyung smirk down at him.

"No."

"Don't be too stubborn and move away now." Jimin warned but voice too soft which made the taller male crackling.

"Still no."

"Then tutor me instead." Jimin spat.

"No-" Taehyung eyes widens. "Tutor you?" Jimin nodded his head. Oh. It look likes everything goes my way---the taller male thought silently grinning from ear to ear.

"If you can't tutor me better move away now because I needed to run after Sungwoon." Jimin quickly said face worried. Taehyung grins grew wider.

"I can. Of course I can. What subject?" Taehyung says wiggling his eyebrows face smug, "Calculus." Taehyung expression fell and gulped. Well fuck. He hates math. But he has another plan so it's okay. He's still have Mr. Lee.

"Tutoring you means you're staying overnight at my place right?" Taehyung beamed and Jimin arched his brow, "Uh, no? I mean, I just need a few hours of tutoring." Jimin explains but Taehyung shook his head, disagreeing to what Jimin said.

"It's impossible. You can't just learn things in just few hours, Jimin." The smaller male scratches the back of his neck and look down shyly.

"I know that but staying overnight at your place is too much. I don't want to bother you." He muttered. Taehyung bit his lower lip, Jimin is falling for it.

His real reason why he suggested tutoring Jimin instead because he wanted to make it as an excuse so that he could make Jimin stay at his place. They usually hang out at his place with his friends and that means there could be a possible interaction between the two if they stay in one place right?

Fuck, I'm so proud of myself. He thought.

But it will only happen if he can convince the smaller male to stay at his place or spend few hours there.

"Jimin, look. You are my bestfriend." Taehyung says dramatically face contorted with concern.

"Since when?" The younger asks innocently, "Really Jimin?" Taehyung deadpanned, Jimin just shrugged his shoulder as a response. He doesn't really have an idea since when they become bestfriends.

"Okay listen, you are my bestfriend now and I want to help you. Studying could be tiring I know but you have to put too much effort on it." Taehyung says tone serious, Jimin narrowed his brows deeply.

"Your point is?"

"I'll tutor you for the whole week."

"You're asking me to spend overnight at your place for the whole week? It's not overnight anymore, I'm basically living at your place." Jimin blurt out tone shock, large eyes looking at Taehyung in disbelief.

"Well, I didn't think of that. How about this, after your classes end, I will wait for you, study at my house and drive you home afterwards, sounds good?" Jimin smiled.

"Better."

"But before anything else, let's go for a friendly date first. I'll treat you." Taehyung says because it's still early and his friends usually come at his first six thirty or seven pm.

"Don't you think, we are just going to waste our time? I thought you want me to spend more time studying?" Jimin ask the latter confusedly, Taehyung grabbed Jimin's wrist.

"Sssh, stop asking." He replied before dragging the younger. Jimin sighs, what comes in his mind and asked Taehyung to tutor him instead? Jimin is clearly not thinking well.

***

"This is my butler and he's going to tutor you." Jimin looked up at Taehyung feeling betrayed. He really thought that he's the one that will tutor him. Mr. Lee gave Jimin an encouraging smile as soon as their eyes met. Jimin smiled at the middle age man and started asking questions.

An hour already had passed and Mr. Lee asks Jimin to take a break. The smaller male nods his head eagerly because he needed that. Mr. Lee excused himself before he headed towards the Kitchen.

Jimin throws Taehyung a look who was seated on the coach just across from him and observes him. The taller male looked down at his watch expression troubled.

What's taking them so long? Because his friends usually comes in his place at exactly 7 pm but it's already 8 pm, Taehyung asked himself.

Mr. Lee came into the scene with a tray of food. He places it on the table and Taehyung was about to touch the food when Mr. Lee swat his hand and glared at him, the taller male pouted. Mr. Lee looked at Jimin and smiled at the younger male before gesturing him to eat, Taehyung huffed in annoyance.

"Two faced."

The two started their business again but Taehyung's phone suddenly rang which caught their attention. Taehyung apologize sincerely when Mr. Lee glared at him.

My god he looks scary but please remind him that I'm still his master here.

Taehyung thought bitterly before accepting the phone call. It was Hoseok who called him.

"Hey Tae, we got into a fight in the bar."

Taehyung's eyes widen out of shock and could feel his heart drop at the sudden news.

"Are you guys okay?" He asked nervously trying his best to calm himself and tried not think negatively, Jimin suddenly stopped solving.

There was a long silence until Hoseok spoke.

"Yeah, except for Kook."

Taehyung glances at Jimin, "What happened to Jungkook?" Taehyung asked him. Jimin's heart drop and felt his blood ran cold, he quickly looked up at Taehyung expression troubled.

"A fucker had hit him from behind with a full bottle of wine. He was bleeding earlier but he's fine, I already clean and patched his wound."

"You're supposed to be here what are you doing in the bar?" Taehyung asked annoyed and brows pulled together.

"Change of plan. We're about to invite you but we got into a fight."

"Where are you?"

"Jungkook's place."

Taehyung realizes Jimin still had his eyes on him, he was looking at him eyes filled with worries.

"They got into a fight nothing serious." He explains, "Let's go." Taehyung says before grabbing Jimin's wrist and motioned Mr. Lee not to follow them because he's going to use his motorbike.

______________________________________________________________________________________

Taehyung typed the pass code and barge inside Jungkook's apartment with the smaller male tailing him behind. Taehyung spotted Jungkook all alone in the living room scrolling through his phone. He has a bandage on his forehead. Surprisingly he does look well or he was just good at hiding it and pretends to be okay when he's not?

"Jungkook-ah, how are you feeling?" Taehyung asked him. Jungkook averted his gaze from his phone and notices that someone was with Taehyung, he was standing behind him. He clearly know who is it. Jungkook didn't look up and look back at the screen of his phone pretending to not notice it.

Jimin just stood there watching him silently as his heart swelling up in sadness. He didn't know the reason of his sadness. The taller male doesn't look like he was in deep pain but it still affects him and could feel his tears welling up in his eyes.

"What are you doing here?" He asked calmly and looked up looking straight into Taehyung's eyes.

"You don't have to be rude. We are just checking on you." Taehyung points out. Jungkook snorted before throwing secretly the smaller male a look. He was taken aback when the smaller male had already set his eyes on him. Jungkook glances away immediately missing the concern look on the younger's face and shifted his gaze back to Taehyung.

"Go home already." He said firmly, "Are you indirectly saying that I should drive Jimin home now?" Taehyung teases and Jungkook remained silent. Taehyung's expression fell maybe it's not the time for that. Things aren't good, maybe next time. He will definitely make them two talk to each other.

"Fine, I'll be driving him home now but are you sure you're okay?" Taehyung asks as he scans the room but failed to see the two other boys.

Silence...

"You're such an ungrateful person, Kook." The other male's spat as he looks back at him bitterly. But as usual Jungkook ignored him again. Taehyung turned around and faces Jimin.

He noticed that the younger was still looking at Jungkook with troubled expression but when Jimin notices that he was staring at him, Jimin lowered down his head.

"Let's go." Taehyung mumbled softly grabbing the smaller male's wrist and dragged him outside. They both walked silently outside. But not too long they both stop mid-way. Taehyung slowly turned his head in confusion and the second he saw the younger's tears fall down, his eyes widened.

He removed his grip from the other male and faces him. Taehyung slowly moves closer face worried.

"Hey," Taehyung called out softly, he places his both hands on the smaller male's shoulder. Jimin bit his lower lip to not let out a sound.

"Why are you crying?" Taehyung asks tone gentle, Jimin lowered his head in shame tears doesn't stop from falling.

"I.. I d-don't know the reason is," The younger male replied voice shaking. Taehyung expression softens and pulled Jimin into a hug and places his other hand on the back of the smaller male's head pulling him down carefully on his chest.

"But my heart is sad." Jimin mumbled through his sobs, "Very sad." He almost whispered. Taehyung places his one hand on the younger's back tapping it gently and closes his eyes as he felt a pang of guilt inside his chest.

The two didn't even notice that Hoseok and Yoongi were standing not far from them with plastic bag of food in their hands looking at the two with a hint of jealousy painted on their faces.

To Yoongi it was because of how Taehyung gotten so close to the younger male but he can't do the same thing because Jungkook had asked him... Not to fall in love with the younger male.

To Hoseok, it was confusion. He doesn't understand why the scene in front of him almost breaks his heart.
