Jeongguk was lost, he wanted to do something fun, alone, but most of the shops were shut because of heavy snow and Christmas eve. He should've stayed home, but being with Taehyung was difficult, the boy was complete mess, he barely washed up during weekends and ate stale food.

Jeongguk wanted to have a real meal, but finding any open places was difficult, he did find a few ramen shops, but he kept them as a side option, hoping to find something better, as he walked further.

Everyone around him seemed to be having fun with their loved ones, giggling and taking pictures of each other, he wondered how it was to be loved.

The last time he checked, the dude he was crushing on was crushing on his sister. Tragic. And that is why gays shouldn't fall for straight dudes.

He didn't confront his sister about it though, considering they weren't that close anymore, it was of no use. He should've stayed home besides Taehyung.

A couple passed by, giving him judging stares, making him pull down his sweater paws and wrap a scarf around his neck- which he was carrying just in case the temperature dropped.

He felt like a freak. He shouldn't have added so many tattoos on his skin.

It started in middle school, when jeongguk started facing crisis with life, he had made a skull tattoo on his lower abdomen, where no one could see it. Funny how their school didn't organise full body check up camps, or how his PE coach never saw him shirtless, the dude had some luck in his pocket.

While strolling around, jeongguk came across a salon, a memory of his red haired childhood best friend flashed in. Taehyung and him were so close till high school, they were practically each other's best buddies for everything they did, from preparing eggs to bathing together, they were inseparable.

Taehyung used to love dyeing his hair. They were that part of his body that had faced the most changes, blue like sky, pink like bubblegum, scarlet like strawberry, purple like lilac flower. He even had rainbow hair once, jeongguk remembers making fun of him ti-

"Hi there, say hello without being extra
Let's start, without introductions
No touching, back off back off
I like it like this, balance balance~", Jeongguk continued staring at his phone screen that was lit because of an unknown id calling him. He took his time admiring his favourite singers voice before picking it up, "Jeongguk?"

He recognised the voice and hung up without replying, the phone lit up again, he swiped the red button, declining the call, it lit up again, and again, "what do you want?", was the first thing jeongguk said as he picked up.

"I want you to come to the station and pick me up.", his sister replied with equally annoyed tone, "Why?", "because mom said so."

"Oh.. wow!", Jeongguk scoffed, "lastly I remembered she said no one in your family was interested in talking to me, so fuck off."

"You're such a fucking brat.", Jeongguk was about to hang up until he heard a small weak 'wait' coming from the other line, "I- I ran away."

The breathing on the other end slowed down and Jeongguk knew that his sister was crying, "I- I'm sorry- I just need a place to crash by for a few days.. I wouldn't live with you... just help me book a hotel room."

Jeongguk felt his heart churn at the thought of his sister holding back her sobs, she was the stronger sibling since the start. Being 4 years older was definitely not easy for her, she was tough and scary from outside but a huge softie from inside. Jeongguk sighed before nodding and telling her that he would help her find a place.

"I have a friend with me, would be great if you book two rooms.", "Y'all can just share-", "He's a guy.", jeongguk paused, took a deep breath, and replied with a 'got ya' before hanging up.

He forgot that he was starving and there was practically a huge hole in his stomach, as he called a cab and went straight to the train station. It was going to be a trash weekend.

"Hey!", Jeongguk waved at his sister, who didn't wave back, making him mutter a small rude under his breath. His eyes scanned the place, wondering where the other dude was, "Tae went to grab us some snacks, he'd be here in a few."

Jeongguk's ears perked up at the mention of 'tae', his eyes and mouth both went wide, "Tae?"

"Yeah my friend Taeyang... oh there he is."

Jeongguk's palm began to sweat and his mouth went dry, could it be?, he slowly turned around and saw a guy older than him walking their way with two burritos clutched tightly in both his hands.

Taeyang gave a smile to most probably his sister, but Jeongguk felt like it was directed to him, his heartbeat fastened as the distance between them decreased. The male was drop dead gorgeous with jet black hair styled backwards and muscular body. He was wearing a black shirt, with sleeves rolled up, making his veiny arms look superior.

Jeongguk visibly gulped and looked away, feeling the heat rising up to his cheeks, "Hey! You must be Jeongguk?", oh shit! His manly scent hit the youngers nostrils making him look up and smile a little.

Taeyang had held his hand out for a formal shake and that is when jeongguk noticed some ink showing out from under his sleeves. The older noticed it and smiled, "You like tattoos, huh?", he pointed towards the heart tattoo that was under jeongguk's ear, making him blush uncontrollably hard, "Uh.. yeah!"

"He's a tattoo freak.", Soyeon said, and grabbed a burrito from Taeyang's hand, "That's rude Soo.", she mimicked him, grabbed her suitcase and walked away.

"Don't mind her, she's gone through a lot.", "I know.", Jeongguk muttered and followed his sister. On his way, he thought that it was better to confirm then get his hopes up, so he removed his phone logged into the app and texted Tae.

If Taeyang was Tae, then he definitely knew about Jeongguk, that can be either embarrassing or interesting.

••••••••••••••••••••••

Jeongguk gulped and looked up at Taeyang who was walking side by side his sister, staring deeply into his phone, typing furiously.

So... is Taeyang really Tae?

Taeyang switched off his cellphone, pushed it in his jean pocket, glanced at Jeongguk and winked at him.

Jeongguk looked away, trying to hide his small grin. It was definitely going to be interesting!
