Taehyung captures Jungkook's lips and trails his fingers across his chest. "Why are you so muscular and broad? Do you want me to lose my mind?"

Jungkook groans and lifts Taehyung, pins him against the locker. He starts to trail kisses on his neck.

"Are you showing off your strength?" Taehyung says in a chuckle- happily wrapping his legs around Jungkook. "Just don't leave a mark."

"Thank God, your annoying friend is not here right now. He is such a cockblock."

Taehyung laughs. His eyes crinkle at the corners- happiness is written across his face.

Jungkook stares at Taehyung. Stares at his beautiful smile. At his sparkling eyes.

"What?" Jungkook presses a kiss on his lips. "What is it now?"

"Don't make me-" Taehyung trails off and captures his lips instead. He sighs into Jungkook's mouth as they deepen the kiss."

You are beautiful. You need someone to tell you that every fucking day."

"Don't do this."

Jungkook puts Taehyung down and cups his butt again, pulling him even tighter against himself. Taehyung moans shamelessly- the sound going straight to Jungkook dick. "We should stop. We really should." Jungkook hisses against Taehyung's lips. "You are too loud. People could hear."

Taehyung blushes. He rests his forehead against Jungkook's. "I want to ask something. I need to know something. Do you only want to have sex with me-"

"I want to get to know you." Jungkook cups Taehyung's face. He presses a kiss on his lips. "I- yes, I want to fuck you against any surface there is, but I also want to know more about you. If you would give me the chance-"

"I have big trust issues. It's one burden of many."

Jungkook kisses Taehyung again. He smiles. "I can't wait to learn about the others."

"I need to make up my mind first. I feel awful because we are doing this behind Minho's back."

Jungkook nods. He ignores the guilty feeling that pulls in his stomach. He has almost forgotten that Minho and him had tested and played Taehyung. It's over, but he still feels bad.

"I should go back. Minho is probably wondering where I am."

Jungkook hums and leans in, kisses Taehyung again. He doesn't want to let him go. "Okay."

..............................................................................................................................................................

Taehyung bites his nails. He is nervous. But he has made up his decision. He is going to break up with Minho. He doesn't love him. He doesn't have any romantic feelings for him. Taehyung is scared though- not knowing what Minho's reaction will be.

"What are you thinking about?"

They leave the movie theater. Taehyung doesn't remember anything he has just watched. He has been in thoughts the whole time. He just needs to get this over with. It's suffocating him. "I am thinking about us."

"What? Right now?"

"Yes."

"Okay. And what are you-"

"I have a question." Taehyung says and stops walking. He turns around to face Minho. It's cold outside and maybe it's not the right time, but he can't wait anymore. "Do you love me?"

"What?"

"It's a simple question. We are together for almost ten months now. Do you love me?"

"This is-" Minho chuckles and clears his throat. "Where is this coming from all of a sudden?"

"Why can't you just answer the question?"

Minho runs a hand through his hair. He turns his head and stares at a group of people walking past them. He faces Taehyung again. "Do you love me?"

"I asked you first."

"God, Tae, this is- why are you starting with this? I thought everything is going fine between us."

"Everything is not going fine." Taehyung shakes his head. "You can't even tell me that you love me. The truth is- I don't love you. I don't feel a thing when we are together."

"What did you just say?" Minho asks in a low voice.

Taehyung reaches out and takes his hand. He squeezes it. "Minho, you have helped me in my most difficult time, and I am very thankful for that. Always will be. But-"

"Is there someone else?"

"What? That's not-"

"There is, right?" Minho pulls his hand away. He groans. "I am such an idiot! I thought you are after my money- but it looks like you just want to fuck around and-"

"Wait! Where is this coming from all of a sudden? What are you talking about? That's not my point- at all." Taehyung notices a couple passing them, throwing them curious glances. He doesn't care. "And I will ignore the fact that you thought I was after your money. We- we are in a relationship of convenience. I am too thankful- and you just want to have a boyfriend. We have gotten used to each other, but there is nothing between us. No fire, no-"

"Who is it?"

"Seriously? Did you hear what I just said?" Taehyung groans. "Minho! I am trying to tell you that we are not compatible. Why are you looking for another reason?"

"You wouldn't be that dumb and leave me, your safe place- expect you have found another one. Or are you really that dumb?"

"You are not my safe place. Not anymore. And please, don't make it ugly-"

"Tell me who you have fucked with!" Minho yells- loud enough for other people to turn their heads in their direction.

"No one," Taehyung says calmly. He starts to feel uneasy.

"Are you sure? Because I can remember noticing one, two hickeys on your neck that day. I didn't say anything because I thought they could be mosquito bites- in the middle of fucking winter. That's how much I trusted you! I was naive as fuck!"

Taehyung flinches at Minho's harsh voice and backs away. He slowly feels panic rising up inside him. Minho's reaction reminds him too much of his abusive father.

"Where do you think you are going?" Minho snaps and closes the distance between them again. "Who are you fucking with behind my back, you little bitch?!"

"Don't call me that." Taehyung takes a shaky breath. "You know that I have a past."

"I don't give a shit."

"I tried to explain it to you, but you are not listening. You don't love me either. You don't hug me, you don't tell me sweet things- I'm doing us both a favor and-"

A hard slap silences Taehyung. Because of the force of it, he staggers and almost falls to the ground.
