"Come on Jade. I feel like Im high key begging.." Taehyung tilts his head cutely as Jade backed away from him on his parents front lawn.

"I'll call you tonight, ok?" she lifts her brows and Taehyung smiles.

"Promise?"

~*~

"Look...Taehyung's issues have nothing to do with me until they do. And last night he made his problem my problem..."

"So you think this will affect your friendship for good?" She says after some weighted silence and Yoongi exhales sharply through his nose at the question.

"Naw. Just for now. I just need some space from dude for a while.."

~*~

"You heard from Tae?" Namjoon asks.

"For like 30 seconds after the game.." Yoongu shrugs.

"Yall still pussyfootn around eachother I see.." Namjoon chuckles.

"You solid?" Yoongi asks Taehyung in the empty parking lot.

"Aw man, I'm good. Can't break a sweat from the bench so..." Taehyung chuckles but his smile barely reaches his eyes.

"I know being benched is hard. For anybody, it would be but for you..." Yoongi pauses when Taehyung nods.

"Aw yea.. it's just temporary though. I'll be back in the paint so you don't have to worry about me. I'm straight..foreal. Thanks for asking.." he says with a half-hearted chuckle.

"Of course but Ima head out though...Got people waiting on me." Yoongi adds almost despondently, looking away to scan the empty lot again as an escape from Taehyung's gaze.

"Yeah me too.." Taehyung steps back as Yoongi entered his car.

"Who you texting?" Alesha smirks.

"Not you in my business.." she deflects but Alesha's smile widens as she turns to Jade.

"Yep. It's Yoongi."

"Oh ok. Well since y'all wanna call me out, Mocho...what were you and Jimin doing before I walked up? Looking how yall was looking.." Alana tilts her head at Alesha cheekily.

"Jiiiimmmiin??? " Jade gasps.

~*~

"Shh," Jimin subdued her, angling her head back further to place a peck on her pout, suckling gently at her bottom lip before parting them to tease his tongue at her mouth's entrance.

~*~

"Whew would you look at that..already out of water! Im gonna go get some more.." Alesha hops up from her seat, hastily moving towards the booth's edge.

So distracted, she nearly comes face to chest with a black and green quarter tee that smelled faintly of flavored smoke and fabric softener.

"Wassup" Jungkook smirks as he tipped up his brim with his knuckle, his shag of dark hair pushed back and tucked under the ball black cap neatly.

"H..Hey" Alesha damn near chokes in response.

"You coming home for Thanksgiving right?"

"Of course I am Mama.." Demi sighs.

"Sorry about that." Demi turns to Seokjin as he approached her.

"You're so cute when you feel guilty for nothing..." he mutters, leaning over her and Demi bites back her smile.

"So, this where you take all your lil dates huh?" Alana teases the moment she and Yoongi pull up by the riverfront.

"Why? Does it feel like you're on one?" Yoongi laughs softly.

"A little.." She smirks.

"I can do way better than this, P." he chuckles.

"Can I ask you something?" Yoongi didnt even look at her, using her tattoo as his focal point as his heart and brain collaborated, brushing his thumb over it affectionately.

"It was obvious right? Me feeln you, I mean."

Their fingers curl around eachother, interlocking slowly in way that felt more intimate that Alana had experienced in a long time.

Yoongi inhales Alana's tiny gasp, catching her bottom lip between his gently. He suckles it for a second, savoring the remnants of her lip gloss before parting her lips with his own.

Finally....
