"Hyung, I thought you liked to avoid public places." Taehyung says to his brother as they enter the awesome pizza place as claimed by Jin.

"Of course I have to avoid public places. But I wanted to treat my little bro to pizza at my favorite place." Jin says pulling his cap down. Jin is a frequent costumer at this restaurant so he booked a private booth earlier to avoid getting mobbed by the people who might know him.

Taehyung gets happy by his brother's answer. He feels that he does hold importance in the lives of some people. They sit in the private booth and Jin asks him about his first day. Taehyung tells him everything but he excludes the part where he fainted. He doesn't want to worry his brother.

"Look Taehyung-ah, you should be careful. Some guys can have a bad influence on you." Jin tells him.

"Yes, hyung. I'll take care of myself."

"So this Jimin guy, did he become your friend?" Jin asks him excitedly.

"I don't know. He talked to me for a while but he looks indifferent to a lot of situations." Taehyung says and Jin nods. Taehyung is honestly impressed by Jimin. He is cool. His major stream is music and minor stream is dance so they might not get a lot of time to spend together but still Taehyung wishes that Jimin considers him his friend.

Taehyung enters the cafeteria and looks around. He finds Jimin sitting at their regular table. It has been a week since he joined the college. He is slowly getting used to this life. He doesn't have a lot of friends. Jimin and he are together most of the time when they are free. Taehyung is friends with Baekhyun too but he just sees him in classes and doesn't hang out with him because the latter is mostly busy with his girlfriend.

"Jimin," he calls out and the older boy smiles at him. Jimin is a happy go lucky guy but he doesn't have friends. He mostly stays alone if he is not with Taehyung. He is a fun guy but he doesn't open up about his life a lot. Taehyung at times wonders why.

"Hi, Taehyung-ah!" Jimin waves his hand and removes his headphone, hanging it around his neck. He always carries headphones with him.

"What are you listening to?" Taehyung asks.

"Oh well, Suga released a new single. Its crazy good. Wanna listen?" Jimin asks excitedly and Taehyung nods. The older hands his headphones to the younger and Taehyung listens to it. He really likes the song.

"Wow, this song is great." Taehyung says giving back the headphones to the pink haired boy.

"I know right?" Jimin squeals happily, "So there is an event here in Seoul this weekend. Many famous singers, rappers and kpop groups would be there. Suga will be performing there too. I want you to come with me."

Event? Events like these are so damn crowded and loud. How will Taehyung go there? Its definitely not his thing.

"Oh, but I don't think I can." The younger of the two says quietly.

"Why? Come on, Taehyung. Don't be a spoilt sport. Suga's concerts are great. I have been there once before. It's so fucking awesome. The only thing that I miss-"

"Are you done fanboying, Chim?" A male voice says and both the boys look up to see who it is. Taehyung recognizes the person immediately. He is the same guy who beat up Taemin the other day. Taehyung gets slightly nervous.

"What do you want, Jungkook?" The pink haired boy asks with a frown.

"Oh, nothing. It's just the same old shit. I want you to go to my place and get me some change of clothes. And don't forget to bring my eye mask. Can't sleep without it." Says the raven haired male with a smirk.

"Why? Are you staying out?"

"Just do as I say, Chim. Don't ask questions."

"But-"

"You know you get into trouble when you don't listen to me." The eldest of the three rolls his eyes, "Did you forget I took your side that day against that bastard Taemin?"

Jimin looks at Taehyung. He doesn't want Jungkook to talk about Taemin in front of anyone. He is embarrassed enough already.

"I-I will bring it." The pink haired boy says while staring at the table and Taehyung looks at Jungkook with a confused expression. The raven haired male stares at the blonde boy and asks, "You're the weakling who fainted that day, am I right?"

Taehyung feels bad. He knows he is weak but he doesn't need people reminding him that.

"You must be Chim's new friend." The raven haired male tilts his head and smirks, "Stick together, you two. You guys suit each other." He then walks away. Taehyung looks at Jimin who looks equally hurt.

"W-What was that?" Taehyung asks his friend who just sighs in response, "Jungkook is like that. Forget whatever he said."

Jimin takes a deep breath and tries to lighten the mood. He turns to the younger and says, "We were talking about Suga's concert before that asshole showed up. So you're coming, right?"

"Do I have to?"

"Yes, you do."

"Umm... its really fine if I don't go, Jimin. You don't have to tag me along with you just because I-I don't have any other friend." Taehyung says. Somehow Jungkook's words made him think as if he deserves to be alone. He knows he shouldn't be worrying about what a stranger said. But overthinking is one of the few things Taehyung does a lot.

"Its not because of that, silly." Jimin says calmly. During the past week, he has figured out that Taehyung has some problems going on in his life. He doesn't know what they are exactly but since Jimin was a top student in Psychology in high school, he knows Taehyung is hiding something big and has self esteem issues.

"Even I don't have many friends," the pink haired boy says, "I just really want to go to this event with a friend. With you specifically. Fanboying together is more fun than doing it alone"

"I'm not Suga's fanboy." Taehyung says with a laugh. He can't just resist the elder's overexcited state.

"But there will be so many other celebrities too. There's gonna be NCT, TXT, Red Velvet and the famous actor, Kim Seokjin. Oh and that famous Youtuber JK will also be there. I'm sure you must be a fan of at least one of them." Jimin looks at his friend expectantly.

Hyung will be there? And JK too? Now I want to attend this event. Taehyung thinks. He looks at his friend and says, "I'll c-come with you." That makes Jimin smile widely.

☆

Jimin rushes towards the broadcasting studio with a bag pack in his arm. He brought Jungkook's clothes, some toiletries and also his DSLR which he already told Jimin to bring whenever he asks him to get his bag pack. Shouldn't Jungkook bring his stuff along with him or at least ask one of his friends to do that? It is really weird for Jimin to go to Jungkook's place and introducing himself as the older boy's friend as they are not really friends.

Lost in his thoughts, Jimin bumps into someone. He quickly looks up to see the smiling face of Hoseok.

"Hoseok hyung." The younger says in a low voice.

"That's Jungkook's, right?" Hoseok asks pointing at the bag pack and Jimin nods, "That forgetful boy! It's always his fault but he still makes you go all the way to his house and bring his things here."

"Its fine, hyung."

"Jiminie," Hoseok tenderly calls the younger, "I've been meaning to ask you since earlier, are you okay?"

"Yes, hyung. What makes you think I'm not?"

"Well, you see after whatever happened with Taemin... I feel so bad." Hoseok says, his head hung low.

"I'm okay, hyung. Seriously." Jimin says as he gives the older a cute smile, "It was my fault anyway. Jungkook had warned me earlier. But I didn't listen to him and believed that jerk Taemin. I think Jungkook has the right to be mad at me. I always do stupid things."

"Hey, don't say that. Jungkook will be normal soon. He was just worried."

"I know."

"So what's going in your life anyway? I see you're hanging out with a cute boy these days?" Hoseok says putting his arm across the younger's shoulder and walks with him.

"Oh he's my f-friend, hyung."

"Friend?" Hoseok is a little surprised. Jimin doesn't get friendly with people easily.

"Yes, I think he's like me. I thought I could be friends with him."

"I'm so happy for you, Jiminie. You'll not be alone anymore." Hoseok says in an excited tone and Jimin just smiles at him.
