"Hyung, Jimin is angry with me isn't he?" Jungkook said as he drove to the music department with Taehyung at the passenger seat.

Taehyung just nodded his head. "Isn't it obvious. You kinda hurt him yesterday"

"Which is why I find it so difficult to believe that he got over it that easily" Jungkook mused.

Taehyung side eyed him. " What are you trying to say?"

Jungkook sniffed "I mean, it's kinda hard to believe that he started dating you just yesterday when he was clearly into me!"

Taehyung frowned. He wasn't liking this conversation one bit and Jungkook was getting on his nerves with every second.

"Why is it so hard to believe that he is dating me?"

Jungkook shrugged. "I don't know. Isn't it too sudden?"

He paused setting his lips into a thin line before he continued. "Besides, I don't want you to be a rebound guy!"

Taehyung tightened his fist at he gritted his teeth in anger.

"Jeon Jungkook, I will forget this conversation even took place because you are still a friend of mine but I will appreciate it if you butt out of my relationship with Jimin. Is that understood?"

Jungkook was quiet for a while before he took a deep breath. "Sorry hyung. I was only concerned. Besides, I have my eyes on someone else!"

"Lee Taemin!"

"Exactly!" Jungkook answered with a grin.

Taehyung just looked out the window thinking to himself about that word Rebound guy. Somehow, it hurt to hear that word because it was true. He was only a rebound guy to Jimin. Wait, he was lower than that. He was fake and Jungkook even doubted his so called relationship with Jimin. He didn't blame him though. It was suspicious but he would have to go through it all because he cared about Jimin and he wanted to see him happy no matter what.

They finally stopped in front of their department and they both got down from the car.

"Take care of Jimin!" Jungkook called out.

"Take care of Taemin" Taehyung answered back and they separated. They where both in different years. Taehyung was in his final year while Jungkook was in his third year.

After school, Taehyung had a feeling that Jungkook wasn't convinced yet about his relationship with Jimin because he kept looking at him with suspicion and it was making him extremely comfortable. He wasn't that experienced in the world of dating. He had only ever had two girlfriends in his life and even then, they had never been serious. Not so serious for him to give any of them his first. For some reason, he found it difficult to give his all to a relationship. Something kept stopping him from being totally committed to the relationship but now he was fake dating his best friend and he wanted to make a statement probably because he wanted to prove Jungkook wrong but why would he want to prove him wrong. All these was confusing but one thing was definitely for sure, he needed help and it came in the form of his friend and captain of the basketball team Kim Namjoon.

Kim Namjoon gave him a tap on the shoulder waking him from his reverie.

"Yah V, where's your mind man?" he said. V which stands for victory was Taehyung's nickname in the team because he always brought them good luck during their difficult games. He was the hidden weapon of the team, the masked ace.

Taehyung looked at him forcing himself to smile.

"Hey RM!" he said referring to Namjoon's nickname.

They shook hands.

"Congratulations man! You're officially off the single guys club!" Namjoon said with a twinkle in his eyes.

Taehyung was surprised about how Namjoon knew so quickly.

"Wait! How...?" he stuttered breathlessly with eyes wide open.

Namjoon chuckled "It's all over the school"

Taehyung didn't have to think much about who spread the news around that he and Jimin where dating. It was obviously Jungkook. He took a deep breath and Namjoon patted him on his back.

"I knew it was bound to happen sooner or later especially after that intense lip lock you two had at my party"

Namjoon wiggled his eye brows and Taehyung blushed remembering the scene. Namjoon interrupted his thoughts.

"Finally, you had the guts to confess!"

Taehyung let out an involuntary cough before widening his eyes at Namjoon.

"Confess?" he whispered softly.

Namjoon gave him a weird look. "Yeah, confess your feelings to Jimin"

Taehyung gulped clearly uncomfortable with this conversation but he dared not show it.

"I know you've had it bad for him since the moment I started knowing you guys. When you first tried out for the team and Jimin came along to support you. The googly eyes you had for him"

Namjoon laughed.  "It was so obvious that I thought you two where already together but when you guys told me you were just friends, I was bummed"

He hugged Taehyung. "But now, I'm so happy for you man. So happy!"

Taehyung froze, laughing nervously. He has to strike Namjoon out. He couldn't tell him he and Jimin weren't really dating at least not now but he was haunted by what he just said about him having feelings for Jimin but he shook his head as he noticed Jungkook from the corner of his eyes talking with some of their team mates in the music department and remembered why he needed his help.

"um hyung thanks for the support man but I need your help"

"Anything man..."

Taehyung smiled nervously. "Well... you see Jimin and I just started dating and I need to do something sweet for him. Do you have any suggestions?"

Namjoon stroke his chin thoughtfully.

"Well, What does he like?"

Taehyung beamed brightly. "Jimin likes so many things. He loves ice cream. He loves eating pork. He loves drinking wine. He likes going to amusement parks and going for rides. He loves taking long walks...."

"Hey hold on!" Namjoon said bursting into laughter.

"You seem to know a lot about Jimin"

Taehyung scratched the back of his neck nervously, his face heating up with embarrassment.

"Yeah, I do"

Namjoon smiled. "Why don't you think of doing something out of the box. Something he won't really expect"

Taehyung stared at the older "Really?"

"Something, he'll remember forever!"

Taehyung smiled smugly thinking to himself.

Something that will keep Jungkook from suspecting them

He seemed satisfied with the answer. "Thanks a lot hyung!"

"No problem Tae and also I hope one day you two can hang out with Jin and I"

Taehyung nodded. "Okay, tell me anytime"

"Fine then... I have to pick Jin up. We are going to see a movie"

"Give Jin my regards!" Taehyung shouted as he started leaving. Namjoon waved at him.

"We will have practice tomorrow at four. Be on time!"

"I always am" Taehyung said with a grin on his lips. Namjoon was soon out of his sight before he brought out his phone to call Jimin. He wasn't answering his calls so he decided to stroll towards his department. He arrived there in a few minutes but he wasn't there too so he headed for the dance studio where Jimin spent most of his time these days.

He entered the building and went to the room Jimin always practiced in. He opened the door and when he entered, instantly found himself smiling at the sight of Jimin dancing. He was all alone deep into the dance he was executing. He was so breathtaking that Taehyung found his smile slowly fading replaced with a look of adorement and awe.

I know you've had it bad for him since the moment I started knowing you guys. When you first tried out for the team and Jimin came along to support you. The googly eyes you had for him. It was so obvious that I thought you two where already together but when you guys told me you were just friends, I was bummed

Taehyung shook his head clearing Namjoon's thoughts from his mind. What he said wasn't true. Jimin is his best friend. That's all. He was lost in space unaware that Jimin had stopped dancing and was now watching him.

"Tae Tae!" he yelled out his name and he finally recovered himself and turned to him. Jimin stared at him worriedly.

"Are you alright?" he asked.

"I'm fine Chim. You were great!"

Jimin smiled. "Thanks Tae. Did you wait long?" he said heading towards his bag resting on the bench. He reached into his bag all the while looking at Taehyung for his response.

"I didn't...."

Taehyung paused when he saw Jimin looking into his phone with a guilty expression on his face.

"Six missed calls? I'm so sorry Tae. I was too preoccupied with practice"

Taehyung shrugged. "It's okay. It wasn't that much of a big deal besides you must have worked so hard so.... "

He stopped clasping his two hands together as Jimin looked at him in anticipation.

"I'll take you out for lunch. My treat!" he finished up and Jimin broke into tiny smiles.

"Thanks Tae" he whispered sincerely.

Taehyung brought out his hand and Jimin took it.

"So shall we?"

Jimin chuckled. "of course Bf but I think I need a bath right now. I'm all sweaty"

Taehyung smiled smugly. "Really Jimin, you don't have to. You look fine as it is. I can even go as far as to say you look sexy"

Jimin gave him a playful smack on the head. "Aish... What are you saying?"

He pouted. "Gosh! Let's start going. You're going to pay for two servings"

Taehyung looked appalled. "Wait, why? Just for a single compliment"

Jimin raised his nose high in a sassy manner. "Who says I needed your compliments?"

Taehyung just laughed at him as he began to pull him out of the practice room. Taehyung stared at Jimin rambling on and on about him buying more food for him for the next one week as he thought about what Namjoon said about him having feelings for Jimin and Jungkook saying he is a rebound guy. But he wouldn't let it bother him now. They didn't matter right now. All that mattered was seeing a smile on Jimin's face but why did it feel like that would eventually cause his heart to be ripped into pieces? Why?

To be continued. I'm updating slowly cause of my busy schedule but hope you all like it. Lots of lov
