*cough cough* hi :)

Dating Taehyung was a big deal to Mia in general, but she didn't think it was going to be THAT big of a deal to others. The word of them dating spread like wildfire and was still the major gossip after being public for almost a month.

Taehyung and Mia would now always be around one another as much as they could at school. Their friends didn't mind them being clingy, but most people were taken aback and didn't like what they saw.

"Oh my god, he chose Mia? Her out of all people?"

"She is not good enough for him at all!"

"Whatever, he's just experimenting, he doesn't really like her,"

"I heard he's dating her because of a bet!"

"There's no way they are actually together, right?"

These were things that the couple heard consistently but they didn't really want to pay attention to them because they knew what they had and nothing was going to break that apart. They had enough drama together, especially caused by other people.

"Baby, do you want to go on a date tonight?" Taehyung asked Mia as they were eating lunch with the rest of their friends. Sora and Yoongi stopped contacting them and started sitting at the table that Jiwoo usually kept occupied. The gang usually felt glares from the bitter duo but they chose to ignore it.

"Really, baby? We went on one yesterday, I don't want to take up all of your time." Mia laid her chin on Taehyung's shoulder as she looked at him, pouting.

"I have the day off anyway, honey. Want to spend it with my girl," he bopped her nose as their friends were shaking their heads at how cute and mushy they were.

Their first date was cliche but nonetheless perfect in Mia's eyes. They went to the movies and had dinner afterward at a small diner near his work. Afterward, Taehyung drove Mia to her house and was then invited inside for a couple of minutes since her mom was working late.

"You look beautiful," he couldn't help but be struck by her beauty and yet how simple she looked with her oversized grey sweater and jeans. Mia had put a playlist on as they talked or whatever they decided to do.

"Thank you, baby. You look handsome as always," she clasped her hands behind his neck as his hands landed on her hips. The song "Possibility" by Lykke Li started playing and they both started swaying in the middle of her room.

Taehyung couldn't believe how lucky he was and knew he didn't want to let go of this feeling. Her eyes stared into his soul and saw something worthy even when he didn't. He is slowly starting to believe that maybe he is worthy and deserves good things, even though he didn't have a great past. He has made mistakes but everyone has. He's sure he'll make even more but he'll always try to come back and redeem himself.

"What are you thinking about, baby?" Mia cupped his cheek and rubbed the soft skin to bring him back to their reality.

"You. How lucky I am." He spoke effortlessly, making Mia blush.

"I'm the lucky one, but okay" Mia laughed, laying her head on his chest as they still swayed.

Mia was soft and pliant as he took her to bed. He made sure she was taken care of and felt loved and appreciated as he was able to explore her body and mind once again. She was so beautiful and couldn't be more ethereal in these moments that he only gets to see. They both make each other weak in the most beautiful ways and are the only ones that can see them that way.

Taehyung was breathtaking as he was heaving deep breaths, enjoying the immense pleasure he was receiving and Mia always wanted to make Taehyung feel that way. His deep voice resonated around the room as her melodic moans filled the space with his. They both found ways to show how much they loved each other in different ways. And they continued to do that as days went on.

Sometimes Taehyung would show up at Mia's with flowers and sometimes Mia would go into his work on the weekends and just order something and wait for his shift to be over just to be around him. He would kiss her in front of others when they know they're being talked about and hug her tightly, and she would do the same when they would mention Taehyung's past.

They may had people who hated them together and create rumors but they knew the real truth, no matter how big the rumor were.

"There's another rumor going around that Taehyung is cheating on Mia. Are they dumb as shit? You two are attached to the hip. Plus, Taehyung would never do that" Hoseok had brought up as they all left school.

"People will do anything to tear you two apart, it's concerning that people care so much," Jungkook grunted as he rolled his eyes.

"They're probably just shocked that Mia changed the playboy into an exclusive playboy for one," Jimin snickered as everyone else did.

"You know we don't believe those rumors right?," Namjoon interjected. He was worried not just for the couple but for Taehyung as well. Rumors can just be only words for so long before you start actually thinking about them.

"Yeah, yeah. Just annoying, I guess." Tae hyung said truthfully. He's not that guy anymore.

"Well, don't worry. We all got your backs," Hay said as they were all about to part their ways to their cars.

"We appreciate it," Mia smiles gratefully. She felt like now she can finally relax and have no worries. It may not last long but for right now, she can just bask in her happiness with Taehyung.

Their group of friends were always solid with each other and were doing good for the most part. Jimin and Aria were still going strong as ever while even discussing plans for future colleges and such. Hoseok, Namjoon, and Jin have created their own squad since they were the only singles, but they never really felt left out. Jungkook and Hay have accepted the fact that they are both into each other but just don't know what to do about it. Especially since Nina has been trying to get in contact with him recently.

"I just don't get how you make those drinks, I feel like I would freeze up and forget every time," Jungkook said to Hay and Taehyung as they worked. Mia was also hanging out but she was studying for an upcoming test.

"Shut up, you're good at everything and you know it," Mia mumbles as she chewed on her pencil.

"Yeah dude, from what I've seen, you're good at basically everything," Taehyung shrugged, not really fazed by the difficulty of the drink he was making.

"I liked to see him try," Hay inquired as she challenged him. She knew he would do well, but she just kind of wanted to see how he would look doing her job (although she knows he'll look pretty hot).

"Bet, lets get it," Jungkook said enthusiastically, as Hay let him behind the counter. Hay instructed on what he should do and he did just that. He did accidentally spilled some cream out of the cup and may have put too much chocolate syrup on top but it was mainly to make Hay (and Taehyung) laugh.

"Now you have to clean this up," Taehyung gave him a wet rag and Jungkook went to work.

As Jungkook was cleaning, his phone was going off.

"Ba- Hay, can you get that for me and see who it is," Jungkook asked as he was making sure the counter was spotless so Taehyung and Hay didn't have to do extra work.

Mia whistled at the mishap and giggled to herself while Taehyung whispered, "nice save".

Hay grabbed the phone with red cheeks and noticed that name that popped up was "Nina (?)". Hay furrowed her eyebrows because Jungkook had mentioned about a Nina before and she was almost positive that she was his ex girlfriend...and also Taehyung's ex-girlfriend.

She walked over and placed his phone next to him. She didn't really reply when he asked who it was because she wanted to seem like she wasn't snooping or anything. Also, she didn't know why Nina was trying to contact him but she didn't know if he was contacting her back, so she just wanted to not think about it. She didn't even really have the right to overthink about it anyway.

Once Jungkook looked over at his phone and saw a missed call from his ex-girlfriend, he immediately went into defense mode.

"Hay, it's not what you think," he immediately said which brought the couples attention towards them.

Hay replied nonchalantly, "It's cool. It's not my business anyway."

"Who called you?" Mia had now closed her book and focused on the non-but-almost-couple in front of her.

Jungkook hesitated but answered anyway, "Nina."

"Dude, what the fuck?" Mia exclaimed in confusion.

"Why is she calling you?" Taehyung was confused since Nina made it pretty clear that she wasn't interested in him, hence her cheating on him with Taehyung. Also, why would she try to come in the picture all of a sudden?

"I don't know, she keeps texting me she misses me and wants to see me," Jungkook mumbled. Hay eventually went to the back, not wanting to really hear the conversation.

"Screw that, she doesn't even deserve to see you," Mia interjected. There was no way in hell she was going to let her be around her best friend. She broke his heart and that's that.

"She's no good, dude, you know that," Taehyung reminded him silently about what they went through.

Jungkook nodded but whispered, "I just want closure, you know?"

"I don't think you get closure with most exes, it usually ends up confusing and/or bad," Taehyung pointed, while Mia agreed.

"Don't you want closure too, Taehyung? I mean she didn't just cheat on me but she cheated on you too," Jungkook was conflicted on meeting up with Nina but he didn't want to do it alone. Plus, it would give Nina whiplash if she saw that they were actually friends.

"It's whatever, but I mean...I wouldn't mind showing her that I'm with someone WAY better. You should to." Taehyung raised his eyebrows towards Jungkook.

"If you two are actually going to be meeting up with her, it's gonna be here and I'm gonna be here with Hay, spying on you guys" Mia said with finality.

"You don't trust me?" Taehyung furrowed his brows and was almost hurt at the thought.

"I trust you, baby. I just don't trust her. That's why we're spying,"

"Who are we spying on?" Hay appeared behind Jungkook, making him jump up a bit.

"On Kook and Tae's meeting with their ex girlfriend," Mia smiled cutely.

"Oh joy." That doesn't sound like a good idea to her, but she's sure its going to happen anyway.
