"375 days later and I still love you just as much as I did last October."

Sway - Michael Bublé

"Do you like someone?"

"Me?"

"Who else?"

"I don't know."

"Jimin."

"What?"

"You have someone."

"What's wrong with you?" Jimin chuckles, gets up from the couch and walks out, "Don't stupid talk. Gotta go remember?"

Yoongi gets off his seat. Rubs his lips with his thumb. "You're ignoring this conversation." He states and Jimin casually grabs a glass to pour himself water. Glances at him. Huffs. "No?"

Yoongi is perplexed.

"What even brings you to that conclusion?" Jimin faces him and chucks down the water. Eyes on him. Whereas Yoongi just shrugs. "You're way too obvious."

Jimin almost chokes on his water. Wipes his lips and immediately places the glass on the table. Looks at Yoongi with big wide eyes. "Sorry—what?"

Coming closer Yoongi stuffs his hands in his pockets. Nods at him. Eyes in eyes. "I see it right through you."

And the eye contact is broken that second. Jimin clears his throat. Looks away. "Don't."

With that, he wins. Yoongi doesn't drag it anymore but just asks for her name. Jimin's ears turn red at that moment. His aura changes simply thinking of the name.

"Roseanne."

"As in?"

Jimin frowns, "As in?"

Yoongi bites his lips figuring something out. "Roseanne." He pauses. Recollects something. His eyes widen. "Why does it look like I've heard that name before?"

Jimin rubs his neck and looks away again. "It's Rosè, in short." He declares. Yoongi is staring at Jimin. Not a single blink.

"No way."

Jimin gives him a downward smile, shrugs and Yoongi has gotten off his seat. He grabs Jimin by his arms. Clutched tight. "The blonde woman."

"She has a name, Hyung." Oh, and he's already protective? Utterly adorable. But Yoongi ain't satisfied yet. Got a few doubts. Loosens his grip and looks around the room in search of something.

His eyes stop at a point. His feet move along the way. A magazine shelf. Carefully picks out a magazine and nods at the cover page. "Unbelievable."

Jimin tries to see what he's looking at and Yoongi lets him look at it. A smile appeared immediately on Jimin's face. "Right."

Yoongi has never felt so clueless. His eyes are stuck on Jimin with pure disbelief. "You're telling me she's the one you've been talking with?"

Jimin gives him a firm nod with his lips shut into a thin line. He's been very polite with the situation provided. Not sure if Yoongi even believes him but it was what it was.

There's only one question Yoongi wants to ask him and Jimin is waiting for him to ask him. The magazine still held tight in his palms. His eyes drilling holes in Jimin's eyes.

"Mutual or one-sided?"

There it goes.

Jimin rubs the tip of his nose, and tucks his head down, "What If I say it was—" Yoongi slaps his arm with the magazine, "Don't. I don't want to hear it."

He is chuckling, "You asked for it." Yoongi shakes his head, and looks away, "Not anymore." Hands him the magazine, "Keep this." Jimin is smiling nonstop, "Thanks I guess—"

"NO HOW DID YOU EVEN GET TO—"

"OH–HYUNG—STOP-" Jimin is getting choked under Yoongi's arms. He's got Jimin tight hung under his chokehold. "YOU FREAK ASS WOMANIZE—"

"HOW DID I EVEN–OUCH—YAH HYUNG!" He is tapping at Yoongi's shoulder in defeat, "ITS HURTING ME."

Eventually, Yoongi lets go of the grip. Breathes heavily. "You've betrayed me." He is so hurt. points at him in shock, "How could—"

Jimin gapes at him, not getting the point. "I'm not in a relationship with her, Hyung." He declares, "It's complicated." His voice drops a few octaves lower, "We're friends."

"Doesn't hurt less, you prick. You're friends with a literal model what do you even mean by—"

"Model?" Namjoon comes into the living room while plucking out grapes from the bunch. Hands over one to each of them and comfortably takes his seat on a chair. "Who's friends with a model?"

Yoongi points at Jimin. "This lad."

Jimin has taken his seat on a whirling chair. Hands folded. He is not bothered. Namjoon on the other side is chewing the grapes with his eyes all wide. Surprised. He glances between Jimin and Yoongi. "You're being for real?"

"Yeah," He mumbles.

Jungkook comes into the room with a mug of coffee. Stares at everyone sitting intensely. There's tension in the room. "What's up? Aren't we supposed to go? Why you're all sitting like this?"

Yoongi shakes his head. Rests his chin on his fist. "We're waiting for you. Also, Jimin has something to say."

Jungkook cocks his brow at Jimin and makes himself comfortable on the table by leaning on it. "By any chance, are you gay?"

Jimin scrunches his nose up, and winces, "Even if I was, I wouldn't tell you." Jungkook breaks into a grin, "Why? You like me?" Takes a sip of his coffee, and is suspicious.

Jimin got his eyes squinting, "Don't you already have a girlfriend?"

"So, you agree you like—"

"–cut that crap. You know what I mean."

"It still doesn't mean you don't—"

"I like someone okay."

"Mhm?" Jungkook is standing up straight. Can't decipher if he heard it right in the first go. Confusingly glances at Yoongi, "Did you hear what I just heard?"

Yoongi is facepalming. Sighing as if he's got loans to pay. "Trust me, I don't want to, but I did."

Taehyung makes his presence known that second. Senses the same tension in the air. Pauses while looking at everyone sitting so oddly tensed.

"All good?" He asks, taking everyone's attention, adjusts his shirt and follows everyone's gaze to end up looking at Jimin.

Whereas, Yoongi slams the magazine kept on the table in Jungkook's lap. "That's her." Jungkook immediately lifts it and looks at it closely.

Namjoon joins him. Peeps at it too. Taehyung is blinking confused. "What's up?" He glances at the front cover and then at Jimin, "Did something happen?"

He receives a big nod from Jimin who comes to him and hangs his arms around his neck. Takes him to a corner. Points at the magazine Jungkook, Namjoon and Yoongi are looking at one by one. "You see, I know her and I like her."

Taehyung doesn't get it. Makes a confusing face at him. "Huh?" He questions, "Doesn't every guy on this earth?"

Jimin shuts his eyes. Sighs.

"I mean she's a diva."

Oh, he's stupidly smiling. Suddenly remembers Taehyung is talking about the girl he likes. Clears his throat.

"You're kidding me," Jungkook calls for Jimin. Deadpans at him, "You've been single for almost an eternity, how could you even—"

"That's very insulting of you—" Jungkook shrugs unbelievably, "It's the truth??" He is showing his surprise, "We never heard of her. How did she pop up from out of nowhere?"

"Because..."

The three of them add, "Because what?"

Jimin takes a seat. Runs his fingers through his hair. "First, it was confidential, second, we lived as neighbours. That's how we met."

Namjoon is deadpanning, "Did you two romance over asking salt and peppers from each other? Like how regular neighbours do?"

He is quiet. "No, but..."

"But what?" Yoongi urges.

"Her car was busted once and I helped fix it." He is slowly opening up, the story unfolding, "She asked for a meal since I helped her with it."

"Okay, Mr mechanic, next what?" Jungkook picks up his coffee and listens to the tea fully invested. Still can't comprehend this has happened.

"Hold up!" Yoongi excuses himself, "I'll be right back." He asks him to stop for a second. Exits the room and comes back with Jin and Hobi. Specifically dragging them into the room. "Now talk." He gives his permission to continue and Jimin has given up. Is super embarrassed.

Jin is frowning. "Who is getting married—"

"—who is—no one is–" Jimin is gasping.

"Jungkook might—" Yoongi announces to which Jungkook whips his head at him, "—Why would you guess that?"

"Didn't you say that yourself?"

"When even—"

"—shut up."

"—no one's getting married for god sake." Taehyung is worn out.

Yoongi is frustrated and is groaning. Comes in the centre. Takes everyone's attention. "Okay, you all better listen to me carefully." He is not repeating it twice.

"Talk?" Jin is intently listening and Yoongi nods at him. "Jimin is friends with a model and I think they're about to go out."

No one has spoken a word.

Jimin is face-palming. "That's not what—"

"How did he get one when I couldn't get no one." Jin is perplexed. Can't believe this. "My handsome face..." he is rubbing his chin and peeking at a mirror at the same time, "...couldn't find a single girl and this—" he is pulling Jimin's cheeks, "—baby doll got one???"

"Baby doll?" Jimin has gotten a new nickname now.

"Those lips could do wonders, let me tell you," Jungkook agrees and everyone nods in agreement, dazed.

Jimin is cringing. "Ew guys."

"When are we leaving?" You come in the dining hall, slowing down in your footsteps with Jennie who stands next to you with her bag.

"We're gonna get late, womp womp boys." Jennie points at the door, "Let's go."

Everyone has pushed Taehyung to go first and he is so taken aback. Like he's been betrayed. He has this emotional look in his eyes that is screaming and asking his friends to not leave him alone but everyone is shooing him away.

Loveeeeee Song - Rihanna, Future.

He pouts and Jennie notices.

"C'mon babyboy don't be hesitant." She has casually let that out with a simple smile but of course, it's not so simple for Taehyung. Oh, he's already rewinding the tape in his head.

"Me?"

"No darling, do you see me talking to anyone else?" She sarcastically smiled, and he was nothing but adoring her. He gets it. There's no way out.

"Mhm—no–nope." He is brushing his hair on the back of his head. Eyes are all soft. Eyes averting everywhere but on her.

"Then walk, who are you waiting for?"

He breathes hard. Nods. "Right." Doesn't look back, and sprints straight to get his bag and Jennie stops him. "Want me to grab them for you?"

Oh, what the world has come to.

"Sorry?" Taehyung doesn't get it. "You are a frail little big being." She's seen him faint once and doesn't really wanna see it happen again. "I can help." She's gotten closer. Like, close. Hands-to-hands touch.

The height difference making its way through them. Jennie flutters her eyes up. Something happens to her at that moment.

He is staring down at her. "I'm very much capable of lifting this, as well as you too, Jennie."

"Huh?" Her skin has gotten goosebumps.

"Huh?" Nothing can be taken back.

Both have paused. Taehyung can't seem to understand what he has just spilled. He looked away and slowly glanced back at Jennie. "Did I just say that I can lift—"

"Yes, you did."

"Forget I ever said that."

She is staring at him. "No."

He pauses. Regrets. Do not wait anymore. Grabs his bag and walks out without looking back even once.

Jennie takes her queue. Comes and stands beside you. Looks at the other boys leaving with their bags out to the car.

"Does Taehyung keep malfunctioning now and then?" She questions you genuinely noticing Taehyung place all the bags in the backseat of the car.

You're giggling, see Jungkook lift your bags for you, "No, why would you think that?"

She shrugs, "I don't know. Sometimes I don't get him."

Tucking your hair behind your ear you wear your sunglasses, "He's a little introverted when he meets new people, that's it." You smile at her, "Also, it's been just a day, give it a rest."

Jennie goes deep in thinking, her chin slowly nodding, "Yep, of course."

"Um, Y/n." Your focus from Jennie is taken away by Jungkook, "Get in the car." He asks just you and doesn't pay attention to Jennie. "We've got to buy stuff, remember? Next stop, will meet the others."

You have no idea what he's talking about. "Oh?"

He raises his brows, "Like I said, get in."

You feel something is up. "A-alright." Wave at Jennie and she looks at you and Jungkook closely, "Sure, I'll see you there." Whispers her words away and gets on her way to Taehyung's car.

Water - Tyla

"Mmmhm." You're taken aback by the sudden push in the backseat Jungkook has thrown you in. Got his lips locked with yours. Hands grabbing your shoulders to keep you stable. Another one is right around your waist.

"Lord, Y/n." He breathes hard, his lashes brushing your cheeks, "Who asked you to wear a black dress and put me in this situation, huh?"

Your chest is moving heavily, breathless. You flutter your eyes up at him, and blush, "Too look pretty, sweetie." Cup his cheeks and he is nuzzling in your palms.

"So beautiful, so beautiful." He bites his lips, eyes focused on your lips. Nudges the tip of his nose with yours. "I'm shamelessly so much in love with you, woman."

"Me too." You lick your lips. "Can't decipher, how much."

"You don't have to baby, I know it." He kisses your cheeks, smiles and comes back to see you in your eyes. "So sweet, so sweet."

You pout, caress his cheeks and pet him and he is failing miserably, drowns in you. His aloe-fresh fragrance getting all over you. He hugs you. "Why can't we just spend the time together?"

"C'mon," he was being too cute for his good, "Your friends got here just for you."

"But I wanna spend all damn time with you." He is mewing and your heart can't take it. You push him up. Stare him in the eyes. He is puppy-like staring at you. "Can you not always be nice?"

He tilts his head, "You want me to be bad?"

You're thinking too hard.

"Oh, you do."

You don't know what to say. "Um–I never thought of it that way but—"

He is getting into the front seat already. Is wearing his seatbelt leaving you confused. "What are you doing?" You ask, adjust your dress and slowly come to the front only to stop when Jungkook stops you.

"Be seated, Y/n."

Your lips gape. "Huh?"

"Do I need to repeat myself twice?"

Oh.

Just one word, hot.

"No."

"Good girl."

Your insides are churning. Why. No idea.

He starts the car. Quietly sit there only to see Jungkook glancing at you through the mirror now and then to check on you.

How cute.

You lean back. Get your legs to the front. His eyes slowly lifted in interest. You're showing your ankles. He finds it attractive.

He is about to hold your leg until you take it back leaving him be. His eyes find yours immediately. "Focus Kook." You say so softly in a deep voice that he feels long gone, "You don't wanna crash, do you?"

"If it's worth receiving your attention, not regretting it even in the slightest."

You've thrown your head back from laughing. So attractive for what?

"You're losing, Kook." You remind and he grins, and shakes his head, looks at you through the mirror, "I win you though."

You're so awestruck.

He winks. "You've got a smart man, Y/n."

"Stop the car. Now." You order and he doesn't think twice about it. Listens to you in one go. Pulls over. Watches you come to the front. Straight in his lap.

"Oh oh oh," no he is not ready for this. "You're —" you've shut him with your index, "Not a single word further, Koo." You're sinking under his chin. Kiss him.

He gapes. Rests his hands free. Let your fingers crawl under his shirt and he's already getting goosebumps. "Holy shi-" He curses in a whisper and you have got your teeth bite his skin.

"So sexy." You admire and he's starting to get dizzy.

Your fingers tuck at his shirt, "I want this off."

He is dazed. "Love, we're in a car."

"I'm not blind, sweetie." You tug at his lower lip with your teeth and he's dying dying dying dying dying. Is ready to do anything at this point. It was his birthday. Of course, he can bunk his birthday.

Just a few seconds and his shirt is off.

"Why isn't anyone coming?" Jennie is looking out the window with the rain dropping on the streets. They've been waiting for everyone to come and go together but it's already been twenty minutes. No one is here.

Taehyung has rested his head back on the seat, he hums questionably, hands on the steering wheel. "They were supposed to come here, I don't know what's wrong."

"Is their car busted?" She assumes, still looking out the window and Taehyung is only looking at her. "Are you waiting for someone specifically?"

She pauses before answering, "No."

Taehyung loses his breath he has been holding on since then. Is happy she didn't take Jungkook's name. Nods to himself. Rubs his face. Takes his jacket. "You wanna go eat something?" He suggests and Jennie glances at him. Takes a good look.

He's wearing a casual white shirt and a leather jacket held in his hand. Hair set rough. It looks good on him. Denims below with Jordans, only making him super pretty.

He knows fashion sense. He was good at fashion. Perfect at it. To the point that she can assume he's a model.

"In this rain?"

"I think it's the best part of the time."

"Why?"

"Are you depressed, by any chance?" He jokes.

A wide smile appears on her face, "No, no."

"Yeah?" He cocks his brows, unlocks the car, "Then come out, Jennie. Let's get something hot and warm." Suddenly she wants to listen to him. Watches him get out first and goes on to the other side to open the door for her.

And there's only one umbrella.

She gets out and stands on the side of the road. Taehyung is closing the door. There's a car coming at full speed. And she's not aware.

Taehyung notices from his side eye and grabs her by arms, shields her away by pushing her against his car. The car goes with a big splash letting all the water drenching Taehyung all over.

Jennie is gasping in shock.

He's all wet.

"Are you okay?" She is panicking, checking on him and he is shivering, "God, it's super chilly." He groans, "It's too cold."

Jennie is concerned. "Let's head to the restaurant, we can ask for help." He complies and they're heading towards it. Jennie's fingers are tucked at his shirt. He is losing focus.

It's a little hut. He lifts the curtains for her to come in. There's no one in the restaurant. A waiter catches them coming in and immediately lets them have a seat. Gives hospitality to Taehyung, and asks him to wear one of the spare shirts from the restaurant until the one he's wearing dries. Both Jennie and Taehyung thank them genuinely and generously.

Taehyung gets the spare shirt and Jennie is right in front of him. He's not aware of what he's doing but Jennie sure is.

It was happening.

Taehyung is taking off his shirt. Pulled it from the back of his neck. Oh lord, she's never seen something so sexy.

He drops the shirt down. Shakes his head to rinse off a few drops and Jennie is in awe. He has perfect cuts. Lean muscle. Slim waist. His forearms were so pretty she could imagine him straddling her with it.

Huh?

The fuck?

She realizes what was happening, what he was doing to her, that it was so wrong. Slaps herself and Taehyung buttoning up the spare shirt, glances at Jennie, gets concerned, "You okay?"

She is red.

He is not looking away.

"Y-yes."

"Okay." He leaves her be.

The food arrives and they're digging in. No one having a conversation about a single thing. It's getting awkward. They know it. So, Jennie starts, "So what are you pursuing, Taehyung?"

His eyelashes bat and his gaze meets hers, he smiles, "Art."

She is chewing, "I see."

He hums, focusing back on food, "Will be leaving after this trip to Paris." Jennie has stopped eating, she blinks confused, "Paris? How long?"

He shrugs, "I'm going there to see what I can do." He wipes the end of his lips, "Learn more about myself."

All she wanna say is, that he himself is a piece of art, so why? But of course, she doesn't. Don't even know where that came from.

"So, you're not sure when you're coming back." She whispers the last two phrases and Taehyung slowly lifts his gaze to see right into her eyes. "Yes."

Jennie can feel emotions in those eyes if she's not wrong. She can sense a lot of things. A lot. She trusts her intuition. All she sees is the eyes of adoration.

Once Jungkook had those eyes too.

Too bad.

Now he doesn't.

Taehyung is whirling the chopsticks in the empty bowl. Tastes the chopsticks left only with paste. Presses the chopsticks between his lips. Opens his lips and closes them again. Wipes it clean. She can witness all those moles he's got as she can't take her eyes off.

He's beautiful. Very beautiful. She could make clothes for him kinda beautiful.

"Do you want some more?" Taehyung asks, chucks a bottle of water and Jennie goes quiet. Goosebumps appear on her skin. The heater not helping at all.

She rests her head down, nods a no to Taehyung, takes a breather and sits up straight only to see Taehyung covering her with his jacket. "This might keep you warm." He adjusts it on her shoulders and takes his seat back.

Doesn't pay attention to her anymore. Orders a juice and Jennie hasn't spoken since then. Hugs the jacket tight.

Taehyung pours her a drink. She takes a sip of it. Takes another. Twice. Thrice. Uncountable times.

"Jennie, mhm–I think you should stop." He is concerned. "You're drinking too much." He tries hard to help her but she's gotten drunk. Shakes her head. "Don't kid me, Tae."

Does she want him to faint or something? Cause he's super weak. Can't take this nickname from her.

"Jennie."

"Yes, Tae?"

He's groaning. Bites his lips. Hides his face under his palms. "Let's get up, please."

"Will you lift me?"

He looks up frowning. Can't believe she's acting this way. "Remember, you're not a kid."

She doesn't like that answer. Pouts. Eyebrows all squinted. He smiles so much looking at her being like this. Uses his fingers to put easiness in between her brows. "Easy, girl."

Her cat eyes went all shiny and round.

He chuckles, "What?"

"Are you Prince charming?" She asks, dazed and Taehyung tilts his head at her, amused. "Why do you ask?"

She lifts her finger and touches the tip of his lips, eyes all focused on them, "Because it looks like you've enchanted me." She blinks her eyes up at his. "And I'm not kidding."

Taehyung's brain has stopped working. "Huh?Wh–what?"

Jennie has her eyes squinted as her head drops, she's completely wasted. She uses the gesture of shooing him away with her palms. Asks him to forget about it.

And Taehyung has turned into a stone. Disappointed.

"Can we please get another bottle?"

"You're kidding me."

She giggles.

He softens.

"Please."

His heart quickens up. No, she's not allowed to act all cute. What the hell is wrong with her? No, no, no. She's not drinking anymore.

"Tae, Tae, Tae..." Her fingers reach for him and he watches her fingers slowly intertwine with his, "Let's go home." She is dapping her lips together. "I don't wanna go anywhere."

He leans in, has weakened, "Are you sure?" Her eyes bat very slowly, "Take me."

Oh, he's so messed up.

"Will you wait a few minutes?" He requests and she is not breaking the eye contact. "Why?"

"I want to change." He glances at the store shirt and Jennie does at the same time too, "You look good either way." She doesn't know what she's saying. Killing him with her words. Murdering him. Stabbing him.

"Will you forget things when you're drinking?" Just a few sentences and Jennie bites her lips in. "I suppose, but I doubt I'll forget you."

He gulps, "Tell me why?"

"Because you're beautiful."

1

"Because you're handsome."

2

"Because you're funny."

3

"Because you're a piece of art."

4

"Because you've gotten me all kinds of crazy."

5

"Because you're —"

And Taehyung has shut her up. The lips meeting. He couldn't stop. This is so unexpected. He might regret it. She was drinking. He shouldn't do this.

Instantly tries to pull away until Jennie grabs his jaw and pulls him into the most intense kiss he's imagined he could have.

"Why don't I see anyone?" Jin is standing out of the car, looking around to find anyone around the area. Just a few birds are flying around. Sun setting. Rain droplets slip down the windows and slow down.

"Don't you think it's super late?" Jimin is coming out of the car. Joins Jin watching the sun setting. "I feel like they're going to be super late."

Jin crosses his arms, and sighs, "Dumb kids."

Yoongi peeps out through the window, "How about we go our way?"

"No, what if something bad has happened?" Namjoon has spoken from inside the car and has gotten all the heads turned towards him. "Don't say things like that." He receives a reply from everyone.

"But don't you think that might be possible?"

"No, It's raining so I can assume they might be waiting somewhere until it could stop," Yoongi replies and everyone agrees over that.

"Also..." Jimin leans back on the car, rubs his chin, and glances at Jin next to him, "Don't you think something is happening between Y/n and Jungkook?"

Jin stands up straight, "You think so too?"

"Wait," He is surprised, "You thought about it too?" He receives a nod from Jin. "It's actually like they're in love."

Yoongi is listening with full concentration, "Jennie and Jungkook aren't much the same anymore too. It is suspicious."

"You're all bullshitting," Namjoon announced. "Stop guessing nonsense stuff and get in the car, I'm sure they'll be at the place by night."

Everyone's groaning and slumping their shoulders as they get back in the car. "Oh by the way," Namjoon lowers the radio volume he's been listening to since then. "I think the place we're going to go is having a model over tomorrow, so we should hurry before the public announcement is made and it's gonna end up shut or not available to book."

Everyone is talking about who is going to come and only Jimin is super quiet about it. "I bet Jimin knows best since he's the one who's booked it." Namjoon has shot his shot.

Jimin is sulking in his shirt in the backseat.

"No way."

"You did this on purpose."

"Is she gonna be there tomorrow?"

"Rose, was it right?"

"Jeez, yes."

"Lord, you're impossible."

"Let's go."

"Someone hit this mother—"

"EVERYTHING IS FAIR IN LOVE AND WAR—"

"ITS LOVE?"

"What?" Jimin is puzzled.

"You said it." They all point fingers at him.

He shuts his eyes. "Never mind."

"Let's meet his girl." Jin enunciates, "Good idea."

And Jimin has never regretted anything as much as he's regretting this situation. All he knows is they're gonna cause a lot of trouble and none of this is going to end up simple.
