"Your late."

Taehyung stood by a post that was beside the parking lot with Jimin. Taehyung Smiled gleefully as Jeongguk approached them, looking a little unsure. Maybe even a bit offended.

Taehyung patted Jeongguk's shoulder as he chuckled, realizing that Jeongguk thought he was seriously mad.
"Hey, I'm just joking with you... Anyway, this is my friend, Jimin."

Jeongguk went to speak, probably about to say 'Hello' but Jimin had cleared his throat and cut in, correcting Taehyungs sentence as he shook the boys hand.

"When he says friend, he means best friend. Hi! I'm Jimin. Taehyung talked nonstop about you, I think he wants to become closer to you. I'm not kidding! He's seriously crazy about you. Normally I'd say he's boy-crazy most of the time but from what I see, he's Jeongguk-crazy!"

"O-Okay! That's enough Jimin, no need to make him uncomfortable." Taehyung was blushing and he knew it, so he did his best attempt at hiding it by putting up his hood and pulling on the strings, closing the hoodie so it wasn't as noticeable.

Jeongguk and Jimin only stared at him as it had become very quiet and awkwardness filled the air. Jeongguk was quick to break the awkwardness by pointing out to a car in the distance, only a few feet away from where they were standing.

"Oh! There's... There's my ride home."

All three of them watched closely as someone stepped out of the drivers seat, a sly grin appearing on his face face when he spotted Jeongguk.

"Hey Baby!"

The man walked over to them and Jimin and Taehyung remained confused. Taehyung questioned them, as he was unaware of what was going on exactly and the relationship these two had. "Are you guys dating?"

Jeongguk shook his head, making a disgusted face in the process. His reaction was too cute not to laugh at.

Taehyung looked over the male, examining him careful before he realized who this was. It came back to him clear as day; this was the man who came from behind the building.. Where he found Jeongguk all beat up.

With Taehyung's fast reactions, he couldn't resist himself and ended up gripping tightly onto the mans shirt, his tone becoming low. He was serious.

"You idiot.. You were the one who beat Jeongguk up, weren't you?"

The man didn't replied. He tried to make Taehyung backed off, but he was too busy trying to receive an answer from the male.

"Answer me you ass!" Taehyung shook him quite violently just as Jeongguk grabbed onto Taehyung's wrists, making him release Hyonu.

Jeongguk pulled Taehyung off to the side, leaving Jimin and Hyonu to talk, which wasn't the friendliest chat for their first encounter.

"Taehyung.. Before you loose your temper...Let me explain..."

Taehyung narrowed his eyebrows, obviously pissed off at the fact that he still didn't receive an answer, but he was hoping he was about too.

"He wasn't the one who beat me up..."

Taehyung's Baby, innocent face returned almost immediately after he heard those words. Yet, he still didn't believe it. "You really want me to believe that? Are you scared that he's gonna hurt you again if you tell me the truth?"

"Taehyung... Hear me out.."

"No, you listen to me. Whether or not this guy is the one who could've ended your life, I will find out who did it. So we can do this easily and you tell me, or I find out. Because I will know and have a stern meeting with this person when I do find them. Believe me or not, I will find out."

"Taehyung....."

"With or without your help."

Jeongguk didn't know what to say. By all means, Jeongguk wanted nothing more than to tell the truth to Taehyung. That's all he wanted. However, he couldn't come around to doing it. Now now, not yet, maybe never. All he could focus on was how apprehensive he was feeling.

Jeongguk wanted to face reality and tell Taehyung what was going on, all of it. Every single detail between him and Hyonu, but he just couldn't bring himself around to do it, to say anything. All he was qualified for was to decline the realism of everything that was going on, to just shut it all down.

Meanwhile, Jimin was beginning to get agitated with Hyonu and vice versa. Jeongguk and Taehyung walked back to the two. Jimin shut his mouth as soon as they walked over and was pretending to be friendly as he vigourously urged Hyonu towards the car, satisfied with his absence even though he was just a few feet away.

Taehyung glanced at Jeongguk. Anxiety showing in his eyes as he continued to stare at Jeongguk.

"Be safe, okay? That's all I ask."

Jeongguk nodded with a reassuring smile that seemed to soothe Taehyung in the most unexpected way.

"I will.. You too. And.. Thanks for the note... And for your number..Maybe we can meet up for lunch tomorrow." Jeongguk turned around to face Jimin who had that devilish grin on his face as he could feel the tension between the two and he was bursting with emotion.

"Nice to have met you Jimin."

Jeongguk sped to the car, not wasting any time. He made the effort to wave at them before entering the car with Hyonu who both Taehyung and Jimin were anxious to inspect him more.

"Jimin, I'm gonna need your help. It's about-"

Jimin held up his hand, that popular sneer reappearing. "You want me to help you find out more about this man and to see what kind of revolting things he's done throughout his lifetime all the way to now. Oh, and to find out what Taehyung's hiding from you."

Taehyung nodded, pleased and feeling easy at mind as he knew that Jimin always had his back. He and Jimin turned towards the dorms, ready to find out where they would be staying.

And all of a sudden- they paused.

"Wait.. How'd you know about that? About me feeling that Jeongguk's hiding something."

Jimin Giggled as he and Taehyung continued on forward.

"We've been living together for years. I think I'll know when you have something on your mind, ESPECIALLY if it's something related to a guy that you like."

Taehyung playfully pushed Jimin to the side, feeling full-on embarrassed.

"I do not like him! Get over it! I swear you always go to far with your fantasies."

Jimin Smiled as he pushes Taehyung back. "Except.. This isn't one of my fantasies this time.. This is gonna be a Real novel."
