Yoongi's POV

Anxiously, the black-haired male settled down on the far end of the couch since the two seats on his right was already occupied with two giants baffoon.

"Poor Jin and RM hyung, they are probably drenched in sweat by now." Taehyung dramatically says, knowing that his two hyung is still having their lessons for hours now with no one other than Jung Hoseok in the practice room.

"What's sadder is that they are missing the live too." Jungkook joined in as he hands the remote over to his boyfriend and without needing to be told, Taehyung immediately turned it on and change the channel to where his soulmate will be having an interview.

Trying to calm himself down, Yoongi take a deep breath in before the TV abrupt in bright screen light and there he was, Park Jimin waving cutely at the camera while smiling as bright as ever.

Seeing that angelic smile of his made the rapper feels his heart beating faster than normal but soon, he then hears the younger's honey voice and it almost felt like eternity since the incident that he regret starting.

"Hello I'm Park Jimin from BTS!" Jimin enthusiastically introduces himself to the camera, making the corner of Yoongi's lips curved up instantly without him even realising.

"My soulmate!" Taehyung exclaims proudly as he points towards the screen that shows a cute smiling boy he knows every secret of.

Suddenly, the camera then switched to record the other guest who was seated closely beside Jimin, a male with defined facial structures, dark hair and flawless skin pops up on the screen and almost immediately, the little smile on Yoongi's face was wiped off within a blink of an eye.

"My name is Taemin, nice to meet you!" The tall male who is displayed on the screen grins widely.

When Taemin finished his introduction,  Yoongi only scoffs loudly which made the two jokesters snapped their heads to the left and look at their hyung questionably.

"What?" Yoongi asked in a deep scary voice and as expected, his dongsaengs instantly turned their attention back to the TV and decided not to question the loud scoff that escaped their rapper's lips.

Soon, Yoongi's dark eyes travel back to the screen and the first thing he sees is Taemin staring at Jimin while licking his lips, instinctively making him grip tighter on the sofa's arms as his eyes pierced the screen that was zooming in on the latter's suspicious dance partner.

"So what do you like about working with each other?" The interviewer then asked, batting her lashes at the two men after looking up from the notebook she was given.

"Minnie can start first." Taemin friendlily beamed and Yoongi felt like cleansing his ears at the nickname until he could unhear it.

"Uh...Taemin hyung is very hardworking, he would help me with some moves that I'm not confident with and also, hyung is a very caring person." Jimin answers as he happily glances at his friend from time to time and back at the interviewer.

"Minnie, what about my looks?" Taemin poutily asked while cupping his own face in his slender hands as he looks at the younger male with a charming smile.

"Ooh~ he's confident, how can Jimin not fall for him?" Taehyung teasingly gushed, subtly glancing at the elder who hasn't stopped clenching his jaw while focusing ahead, waiting for the younger male's important answer to the ridiculous question.

"Oh look! Jimin hyung is blushing wow~ he looks like a tomato." Jungkook wiggled his eyebrows as he made funny faces at the eldest here and there was no doubt that Yoongi was becoming pissed at the ongoing unnecessary comments.

"Shut your mouth before I do it myself." The dark-haired male scowled with glaring eyes, making the two jokesters obediently listen and again, turned their attention back to the screen.

Once he saw the effect of his threats, Yoongi pleasedly adverts his eyes back and listens closely to what Jimin's answer may be.

"Hyung is so handsome and tall, sometimes it makes me feel jealous for no reason." The small figure giggled shyly as he looked away from the camera while twisting and turning in his seat like a schoolgirl who is about to confess to their crush.

"Awe Minnie~" The taller male cooed satisfiedly as take this chance to pinch one of Jimin's soft cheeks.

"Fuck off." Yoongi mumbled underneath his racking breath as he pissedly pokes into his inner right cheek with his tongue while observing how the shorter male was blushing madly.

"What about you Taemin? How's working with the most loved Kpop male Idol?" The interviewer moved on to the question, looking up from her script with a curious smile.

"I would consider myself as lucky, I mean who wouldn't want to work with this cutie?" Taemin laughs as he complimented Jimin with no hesitation as if he had already planned out what he wanted to say a night before the interview actually happens. "I bet lots of people would be jealous right now."

"Woah is he s fortune teller? He ain't wrong at all." Jungkook jokily gasped as he imitates his grumpy hyung who is still glaring daggers at the poor TV screen.

Seeing the maknae's on-point imitations, Taehyung laughed loudly as he pets the brunette's chin. Meanwhile, Yoongi was ignoring how the two jokesters were making fun of him and decided to only watch the interview despite the low sniggering going on beside him.

To Yoongi's thankfulness, the interview went by with many professional questions about their upcoming performance and the rapper was enjoying every time Jimin would answer some questions with confidence and pure excitement that sure left the cute male feeling more enthusiastic about performing on stage once again.

However, It was all great until the last question arrived.

"Fans are very excited for your performance and we received a special request from an OG, she claimed that she thinks you guys would be a great couple and request for some couple like interactions." The interviewer announced and in no less than 3 seconds, Jimin's eyes widen as he immediately looks down from shyness.

"If you don't mind, could you show us something?"

"What kind of interactions?" Taemin specifically asked the girl interviewer with a smirk that was behind his not so sincere smile, liking where this is going. Who wouldn't like a little heads up of what he planned to do by tonight?

"She said that a kiss would be too much so how about a quick peck on the cheek?" The interviewer says with excitement as she clasps her hands together as if she was also one of the fans.

"A peck on the cheek?!" Yoongi disturbingly thought, cannot stay still in his seat after knowing what's about to happen next.

"Wah Taemin is really a lucky dude." Taehyung exclaimed as he stares at the screen with the pure curiosity of what his soulmate's reply could be.

"Minnie?" Taemin whispered breathily, shifting his confident body to the shorter male's side.

"Yes hyung?" Jimin nervously replied as he fiddled with his chubby fingers, refusing to look up.

"May I?" Pointing at the younger's cheek, Taemin asked.

"Please say no." The black-haired male voice became unstable as he prayed for Jimin to reject Taemin even though there's a zero per cent chance in that since Yoongi knows off by heart how there's still a part of Jimin which finds his dance partner attractive.

Because if he didn't, why was he so desperate to choose the second option?

As silence seconds passed, Yoongi's heart started pounding much faster inside his now heavy chest. He wanted to just jump into the screen and stopped everything from happening way too quickly because he couldn't let Taemin gets his way but it's not up to him, it's up to no one else but only Park Jimin.

"S-sure hyung." The silver head stuttered and then it all happened after one single replied.

A reply that made Yoongi's heartbeat immediately stops when Taemin was quick to place his sinful lips on Jimin's soft yet innocent cheeks.

Immediately, the black-haired male's eyes darken as he abruptly stood up and harshly snatched the remote off Taehyung's loose hold.

Turning off the TV, he threw the remote to land right beside Jungkook before running off to hide in his studio, locking the door and slowly let his worn-out body slide down against it.

"I'm s-sorry." Yoongi sobbed as drops of tears managed to escape his closed eyes, the male then leaned his head on the glass surface whilst his lips quiver from fear. "I'm sorry J-jimin ah."

"I-if I could turn back time, would it change anything? Jimin w-would never met Taemin if it's not f-for me." The rapper choked on his words, guilt creeping into him slowly yet surely.

Those days that passed, he couldn't help but fear for Jimin's safety. What if one day the younger came back crying in the night and Yoongi was not there to prevent 'it' from happening? One thing is he would blame himself till death and that's for sure.

There was no doubt that Taemin is getting closer to Jimin day by day and it only meant no good for the latter's safety. No one knows Taemin's real intentions except for Yoongi and now, he is the only one who can put an end to the mess he created simply by wanting more.

End Of Yoongi's Pov

Jimin's POV

Like a statue, Jimin touched his right cheek where it had been pecked a few minutes ago and felt no slightest bit of emotion at all as if the peck was nothing but a fan service like how it was meant to be but...

Instead of feeling butterflies in his stomach and those sickening love feelings, why does he still feel a deep pain inside his chest when Taemin's lips made contact with his skin? Why is all he could think of after that is Yoongi hyung?

"I thought I already moved on?"

Having someone else's lips touching him bring those happy yet painful memories back, those memories of him and his hyung would always cloud his mind whenever he tried hard to not think about it.

It prevents his heart from beating for someone else that could be his exit door to this repeating seesaw game.

"I need to stop thinking about him." Jimin whispered determinedly.

"About who?"

"Huh? Oh hi hyung! it's nothing." Jimin chimed as he flashes his tall friend a quick smile after noticing the elder's presence.

"I see, you hungry Minnie? I got meat at my apartment." Taemin offered with an added gentle tone to his voice as if it wouldn't hurt a single fly.

"Sorry hyung but I think I will pass...I'm not feeling well today."

Taken aback by Jimin's declination, the model like a male cannot do anything but accept the fact that his plan wasn't going to work, at least not today. "I see, maybe next time."

Realising that he has to go back to the dorm since Jungkook did mention he wanted to play Overwatch together last night, Jimin waved his hyung a goodbye before walking out of the backstage room.

"Dammit!" Taemin yelled with frustration after the superstar has easily crawled out of his hand. his plan was once again...ruined.

Everyone in the room: staffs and makeup artists turned to look at the dark-haired male with a startled face before they start whispering something to each other while staring judgementally at the rising idol who yelled like a mad man a second ago.

"What are you looking at?" Taemin barked back before storming out of the room, getting irritated since he did not get what he wanted.

"Just you wait and that cutie will soon be mine."
