Taehyung's hands almost work on their own at the canvas in front of him. It's been two days since Jungkook kissed him and all that he had on his mind has been how their lips connected.

It wasn't a very long kiss. It did not involve tongues but it did make Taehyung feel better. He did forget about the thunderstorm because all he could think about was how perfectly their lips fitted together, how deliciously they moulded into each other.

Even though Taehyung was pretty shocked by the ravenette's action, he just made sure to remember every detail of their kiss which he doubts if it could even be called a kiss or not. It was more like a lip lock but it did take off Taehyung's mind from the thunderstorm as he kept thinking about it inside the cozy blanket with the bedside lamp turned on.

Taehyung was not even sure how he should act when Jungkook gets back. He still isn't sure as his roommate didn't come back to the room or even the classes since then.

Taehyung sighs and looks at the painting he just made. He somehow feels dissatisfied with it. He has been distracted because of a certain ravenette.

"Taehyung, are you okay?" His art professor asks as he walks closer to him.

"Yes, sir. I'm sorry I got a little distracted." Taehyung says and looks down in embarrassment.

"Oh, that's completely okay. I just came to tell you that Mr. Lee Junho expects your paintings at his office by five in the evening today. I don't want you to be late." The professor says. Taehyung nods his head, wondering how he is going to take two paintings alone. He wouldn't even have the time because his classes would end pretty late today, at around 4:30 PM and he has to go to work at 6 PM.

"I'll do it, sir." Taehyung says nonetheless. He never got an opportunity like this in his life and he is not ready to mess it up just because his schedule does not match. He can always try harder and do it.

"I figured you might need some help so my student assistant, Hwang Minhyun, will help you. I already told him so he will go with you." The professor says. Taehyung's throat goes dry at the mere mention of Minhyun's name. Hwang Minhyun is bad news and Taehyung is very much aware of that.

"But I can go alone, sir."

"Nonsense. I know college ends pretty late today because of the seminar in the afternoon and I don't want you to be making a bad impression in front of Mr. Lee even before the art gallery show. So you are taking Minhyun with you. Is that clear?" The professor raises an eyebrow at Taehyung. The blue haired boy gulps again and nods. Seems like he doesn't really have a choice here.

The professor pats on his shoulder and walks away. Taehyung sighs and continues doing what he was doing, this time with more concentration. He knows he has a long day ahead of himself.

"Hey, Taehyung!" Taehyung stills as he hear his voice call him. Yes, Hwang Minhyun's. He slowly turns around and sees the other boy smiling at him, "Ready to go?"

Taehyung cannot help but nod as the taller boy is already holding one of his paintings. Without another word being exchanged, the two of them start walking again. "Don't you think the seminar today was pretty boring?" Minhyun says, trying to make a normal conversation so that the two of them appear like friends.

"Well, for starters, the seminar was about addiction and people who are already addicted cannot possibly not find flaws in it." Taehyung says and rolls his eyes even though he knows he should probably stay quiet. He cannot get into trouble with Minhyun now that they are going somewhere together.

"I never knew you learnt to speak so much." Minhyun says with a laugh that might appear oh so cute but Taehyung knows better than that. He decides to stay quiet.

"We're taking my car." The taller boy announces and the two of them move towards his car. The paintings are placed in the backseat and Taehyung tried to get into the backseat too but Minhyun held his hand and told him that he isn't his fucking driver so he just sits at the passenger seat, hoping for nothing more than his time with Minhyun to pass as soon as possible.

The car ride is silent until they reach Lee Junho's office. They just have to hand over the paintings to Junho's assistant as Mr. Lee isn't there himself. Okay, job done pretty quickly. Taehyung is thankful for that.

Once they are outside the building, Taehyung turns around to leave but Minhyun holds his hand to make him stop. Taehyung turns around and looks at the boy with big eyes. "What are you doing?"

"Aren't you supposed to be at work soon? I can drop you off." Minhyun says. Taehyung gulps and twists his hand to free himself from the taller boy's hold.

"Thank you so much for the offer but God has gifted me with two legs. I can walk." Taehyung says, glaring at him. Minhyun has spoiled his life enough and he is not ready to let him do that any further.

"Wow! Sassy much? I like that." Minhyun smirks and moves away a little. "Fine, go to your work. I'll see you there. If not today then maybe soon. But I'll surely be there, Taehyungie." The words Minhyun just said are just purely evil. His intentions are evil too, like they always have been.

Taehyung watches Minhyun sit in his car and drive away. When the other's car is out of his sight, the blue haired boy closes his eyes and breathes in deeply, calming his nerves.

Just endure it, Tae. Just work hard at university and maybe you would not have to do this anymore. He says to himself and starts walking towards his workplace.

"Why are we at the club again, Kook?" Jimin asks, gulping down a vodka shot. Jungkook just laughs at his friend. Jimin has been telling him not to get drunk in early evening but he is the one who has been gulping down drinks after drinks since the time they came here.

The two friends have spent the last two days at a mission along with some other members of their mafia group or family as they like to say. Some people had sneaked into one of their hideouts and they had to catch them. Jimin's guess was that the man who he had terrorised in the alley the other night had something to do with it. Maybe he wasn't the only spy.

Finally they caught the people who sneaked in their hideout and found out that they belonged to a gang. A gang thought they could go against one of the biggest mafia group in the world. How funny is that. Jungkook wanted to take care of the matter further but his dad asked him to leave for university as he and Jimin have already done enough and they can take care of the situation from here.

So both the friends, or you could say only Jungkook, decided to spend some time at the club with Jimin and loosen up a bit after two days of stress. Jimin had protested earlier but now he seems to be more than happy about the idea.

"Hey, Kooks. Do you want to hire a stripper or something?" Jimin asks, he is already tipsy.

"No, why would you ask that?"

"Because strippers here are so good?" Jimin says, gulping down another shot. Jungkook shakes his head and sighs. He knows it won't take long for his blonde friend to get drunk completely if he doesn't stop drinking.

"Just because the strippers are good here doesn't mean we have to get ourselves entertained by them." Jungkook says and takes the glass from Jimin's hand. He needs to stop him from drinking because coming drunk and causing a ruckus in the dorms is not allowed.

"Chim, I think it's enough for today. We should leave now." Jungkook says, holding Jimin by his arm, ready to pull him away with himself.

"Wait, is that Tae-Taehyung?" Jimin asks between his hiccups. The shorter boy might already be drunk for all Jungkook knows because seeing Taehyung here in the pub is impossible.

"You're just hallucinating. Let's go." Jungkook says without even sparing a glance in the direction where Jimin is pointing.

"Maybe. Maybe not." Jimin says. This sentence forces Jungkook to look in the direction he is pointing at and when his eyes fall on the familiar blue hair, he is quite surprised. When the blue haired boy turns around, Jungkook is surprised as it really is Taehyung. He is talking to a bartender.

What is Taehyung even doing here? Isn't he supposed to be at work at this hour? Jungkook decides to ask him but he cannot exactly leave Jimin alone. He thinks he should leave the club as Taehyung being here is not really his business but he also knows that this club isn't the safest place in the world.

He contemplates for a while but then decides that a lot of people come here and Taehyung is not a kid so he should be safe here. With that thought, he gives one final glance to his roommate and then drags his friend outside the club.
