Life doesn't wait for anyone, it keeps floating by, some get behind the flow and some remains stable in the pace or some gets stuck in the timeline like a still life.

But as always, life goes on.

Like this, the days passed by, the university bombarded the students with their new schedule and the forthcoming internal exams datesheet. Alongside it ran the tournament within the university, the selected teams of the previous match would then play against each other to aim for the first spot.

The periods for attending their clubs were reduced to twice a week and new interactions almost paused, now all that they got were those they knew.

In short it's a phase of tranquility where focus on studies is on priority.

During this time, Taehyung and Jungkook grew closer and closer, more like an inseparable duo who can never get tired of kisses. Jungkook is fond of this cute blonde and Taehyung is obsessed with his strong hot boyfriend.

They were keeping it lowkey for the sake of not being in eyes, Jimin knew, V was hinted but they didn't give two fucks as they loved their pace.

They would take time for dates, Jungkook would make up for the days he fed him mint choco by trying Taehyung's favorite things but Jungkook actually loved what he loves because maybe he has a complex palette of tastes.

They were like friends in some ways as they loved to enjoy things together, enjoy time playing or watching movies, having food or hanging out a lot and sometimes Jimin was part of their dates and Jungkook would wish V would also join him but he couldn't.

The other side Jimin started to find his own pace, working with that empty void in him because of not doing anything, he missed V as a friend, as a mate to always bicker and clash with but someone to get along with.

At the same time he hated how he's always the one to care, always the one to make it work but this time he gave up too. If not anything, at least he was a friend to V but maybe they came to a point where fixing what they messed up is a big deal and none of them were ready for it.

In this time he grew closer to Yoongi. They get along pretty well, sometimes in University or sometimes even off schedule. Jimin started growing interest in music and Yoongi became his new piano tutor. Well, Jimin still messes up but it's fun to learn.

And V? V was still stuck in a maze. Somewhere a part of him just got lost by losing Jimin. He misses his company, he misses his presence, his bickering, his cute cheeks, his little frame and everything about him.

But at the same time he lost his courage to even approach the day Jimin clearly said he doesn't mean a damn thing to him once, more like a brother of his best friend he has always been. That thing has hurt him like no other and to this day he can't believe they had all of it and Jimin still didn't care addressing him even just as a friend.

If you keep feelings aside they were amazing friends, just like Jimin, V was missing his friend but some things are out of his control and throughout this time what he got to learn is that he'll never be someone Jimin wants to be around.

None of them have broken the silence since. None of them spoke a single word to each other. They see, more like they stare at each other but with Jimin's glance barely being for milliseconds while V's eyes would trail him all the time.

His relationship with Stacy didn't exceed more than a situationship. She wants a label but he has already cleared it for her that he would end up breaking her heart and she took full responsibility for it and decided not to be apart, for as long as they go on.

They are mostly together when one of them needs each other and the next moment, they are back to life.

It feels odd to him in some ways but it's easier this way than to get his strings attached.

He hangs out with Jungkook or with her sometimes, or would be annoyed by his clingy brother who would want to spend time with his brother on random days and the elder would give up.

Out of everything, it was just Jimin he couldn't be with.

It wasn't going to change unless one of them drops the character. And none of them was ready.

It was another usual morning in the twin's house, the younger brother preparing meals for the day to decorate his bento box that he is supposed to give his boyfriend.

It's another match day, the top six finalist teams would play against each other and Jungkook and V's team would be one of them playing the very day.

Taehyung has never missed a day to prepare Jungkook healthy meals before every match to help him get that energy he needs and so was the cute pretty blonde doing the same by humming a song.

The elder just woke up to get himself water from the kitchen when he found his younger brother in his loose t-shirt and shorts, a headband on his head as he put on a sheet mask and playfully rolled his kimbaps.

The elder scratched his head as he walked towards the kitchen, aiming to get a water bottle from the fridge inside and also kinda judging his brother.

"Why is that rice paper on your face?" The elder asked in a deep morning lazy voice to see his brother who stopped his hands for a while to turn and face him.

"I'm your mother, you listen to me, stop all that mansplaining, no one's listening~~~" The younger sang along to the song playing in reply and the elder simply judged him with his dumbfounded face.

Taehyung carefully laid the kimbaps on a tray after cutting them into edible pieces aside as he tried to make some dipping sauces and as he turned around Dowoo was quick to reach his hand out and carry one to shove into his mouth.

But he soon got caught.

"NO! That wasn't for you!" The younger blonde started freaking out, but the elder was reaching his hand to carry another one but Taehyung slapped his hand away.

"I said these are not for you." The younger yelled at the other one with annoyance only for the elder to furrow.

"Stop yelling into my fragile ears, geez." Dowoo retorted after rolling his eyes.

"I won't let you starve so get your ass down on the stool and wait." With this the elder sat on that stool as per the command in front of the counter, waiting to get something.

And Taehyung after a while rolled another kimbap for him, starting by laying the sticky rice.

"Extra kewpie mayo in mine." The elder demanded and Taehyung did, smiling at the other who was still in his rough morning look.

After filling all the essentials Taehyung rolled it and slid it to his brother without cutting because that's how he likes it and then proceeded to make another version of it with crabmeat and the elder had his hawk eyes onto that still while his mouth was stuffed with his own.

Taehyung won't lie but he looked like the childhood Dowoo, the desperate foodie who would have eyes for his food after finishing his own.

"Look away, there can only be one kimbap of crabmeat." The younger said and the elder kept eating his one, munching annoyingly louder to annoy his brother but he was far too lost in the music to even care and continued rolling it after kissing and as he did the elder looked disgusted, proceeding to act like he's gonna puke and the younger looked at him with his deadpan face.

"Stop making that ugly face."

"Then stop infecting my friend's food."

Taehyung just rolled his eyes and proceeded to pack them up in a lunch box with some kimchi and salad, not forgetting to add some already made sweet treats on the side as he finished the box, not one but two.

The elder kept judging his brother who put them in a bag.

"What's that second lunch for?" Dowoo asked and Taehyung looked on his side.

"Have I ever let you starve before any game? Anyway, I packed some crabmeat kimbap for you too."

Of course he did.

"I'll get ready now. And please shave your face you hedgehog at this point you start looking like appa." Saying this the cute blonde  let the lunches be on the counter and walked towards his room to get ready while Dowoo just smiled shortly at those boxes on the counter.

"Don't take long ugly son of Marilyn Monroe." The elder said from the back and the younger opened the door to let his hand slide out to show that middle finger.

"Don't forget we look the same!"

~♡~

Well not much has changed between the brothers, they say shit to each other when they wake up or sleep, eat or even walk in each other's proximity, that bickering equally translates into — you're my brother and I love you.

Well for Dowoo there's another brother from another mother, Jungkook who makes his days better and so for Taehyung is his Jimin.

But one side of this maze is still complicated that would take its fine time to be solved.

After pulling on his loose black & white striped shirt over his baggy jeans and shoes with minimal jewelry as shiny as his hair, Taehyung was ready to leave with his bestie who he caught up in the way dressed just as cutely in a loose sweatshirt and ripped baggy jeans and sneakers.

The two cuties walked together to their University with Dowoo a few meters behind them with his airpods on.

The pair of blondes didn't decide to enter their department or classes first hand but the boy's locker room where they must be getting ready for the match. Taehyung had to hand his boyfriend his food.

They made their way to the locker room with Dowoo constantly behind them, just sneakily stealing glances of the cute blonde in his yellow sweatshirt who was well aware of his presence all the while but acted like he didn't care.

They soon were in the corridor out of that locker room, the corridor filled with boys standing and talking to each other on different corners and the door of the locker room wide open.

Taehyung peeked into the room to find Jungkook who was back facing him, taking his jersey out of his locker and proceeding to take off his T-shirt to wear.

The defined muscles on his back moved along his actions with that inked arm unholy thick under the shoulders.

Jimin who was looking at his friend and then Jungkook back and forth decided to soon whistle to tease and Jungkook snapped his head back, turning to even show his chocolatey buds.

Taehyung straightened his posture and put his hand over his friend's eyes who tried to take it off.

Jungkook chuckled to see them and quickly wore his jersey.

"You can let him go." As he said Taehyung let go of his hands from Jimin who hit Taehyung's chest slightly in annoyance.

Dowoo who was standing at the door frame just couldn't stand those twinks. He rolled his eyes and sighed, leaning against the door frame to wait for Jimin to give him space to walk away.

"Oh V! Come in." Jungkook then exclaimed to see his friend and Jimin sassily turned his head to look up at down at the other one who was looking down at his face with his deadpan one.

Jimin turned his head back and stepped to the side to give him a way to walk ahead.

Well, V had to change too.

Jungkook who was looking at Taehyung then slightly extended his hand for him and Taehyung smiled just bright, approaching him and putting his hand into his own while V was side eyeing them while taking out his jersey from the locker.

"I made you the kimbap today, you said you were craving some." Soon Taehyung said happily and showed the bag in his other hand and Jungkook smiled so fondly, taking it.

"Bitch when was the last time you made me some?" And soon Jimin walked ahead in an offended way while Taehyung turned his head back sassily.

"When was the last time you made me something to eat bitch? Let's start there." Taehyung said sassily and Jimin tilted his head.

"Well, does Jungkook cook for you? Let's start there." As Jimin retorted back V couldn't help but felt that urge to jump in and say something to add on the fire because it's fun but he lost the authority to do so so he remained quiet.

"Okay okay, relax. I'll cook for all of you some day, let's hope we keep winning till finals." Soon Jungkook talked between the two to resolve the issue.

Just when Jimin was about to say something, V showed his back to them and took off his own T-shirt which Jimin's hawkeye caught instantly.

V has grown stronger in many ways which Jimin's eyes could notice. His body is also more defined, more muscular and bigger.

Taehyung and Jungkook who were busy looking at each other, talking through their heart eyes didn't notice how Jimin gulped and looked away, snapping his head in another direction before coughing.

"I'm waiting outside." Saying this Jimin walked out of the locker room and Taehyung gave him a hum.

As Jimin walked out of the door to stand in the corridor, he spotted a girl walking towards his way, more like the locker room's way and Jimin already made a bitch face to spot her.

The European lady tryna be a Korean one so bad from her makeup to her style. I think there's nothing wrong with that, but Jimin kinda doesn't stand her.

"Oh hi, have you seen V?" She asked as she stopped a few meters away and Jimin looked up and down at her sassily.

"I wish I didn't." And that's all that he could say sassily, causing her to frown while he stepped forward to walk away.

And she peeked into the room to find it on her own.

"Oh Hi V!" As she squealed Jimin could hear her annoying voice.

And to catch her there V walked out of the room to meet her in the corridor and just when he did he was smooched on his cheek so loudly that entered Jimin's ears who was in the process of walking away but didn't stop himself from making a disgusted face as he finally got away.

Well good for them they have just left Jungkook and Taehyung alone and as soon as Jungkook got the sign he put that bag down and pulled Taehyung behind the lockers.

Taehyung was already waiting for it as soon as he walked into the locker room, it's maybe one of his kinks but he loved the way Jungkook pushed him against the back of one locker and held his hands to be on the sides of his head.

That bottom lip of the blonde was bitten by his own teeth as he looked up at his sexy man staring down at him, bringing their bodies together until the blonde felt Jungkook's lips ghosting on the side of his neck.

Taehyung smiled and let that bitten lip be released from his teeth, gasping and loving the way Jungkook was so eager to taste him.

Those searches of something on his skin through Jungkook's lips ended by the black haired pulling himself away to press their foreheads together, letting go of his wrists for Taehyung to snake his arms around his neck automatically and they knew they could get caught and it adds to the more fun.

Taehyung didn't want to waste no time before pushing their lips together and who was Jungkook to deny, they love to just kiss endlessly until their lips run sore. There's a pleasure to that tingling sensation as an aftermath of that passionate make out.

Also the taste of Taehyung's chapstick left against Jungkook's lips that he would love.

The blonde had his legs apart by the pressure of that thick thigh of his buff man in between, mindlessly pressing the bodies together as they kissed.

At some point Taehyung would lose control and Jungkook would take the lead, exploring all of his mouth like a fish in the sea.

Only the need of air would cause them to be apart but no longer because Taehyung would always take a bite of that metal ring.

Jungkook smiled into the kiss when he felt it, detaching away and his silly boyfriend letting go of that ring from his teeth with a silly smile on his face that Jungkook adores a lot.

"Okay but you're getting better at it." Jungkook whispered against his lips, looking down at his face while Taehyung looked up at him with a gentle yet sassy gaze.

"We should keep practicing till perfection." As he whispered Jungkook couldn't help but smile again.

"You'll snatch it off my lips one day." As Jungkook whispered Taehyung leaned to peck that ring.

"Not really, I love it on you."

Jungkook literally melted into a pit by his actions that he just leaned in and held him into a sensual hug with his face in his neck and Taehyung simply followed his actions by hugging him tighter and running his free hand in his hair.

"My baby cooked me a meal again, thank you so much for it." Jungkook whispered and Taehyung smiled, playing with his hair.

"I do so you play hard and win." Taehyung replied to hear which Jungkook parted to face him.

"And if I win today too, what else will I get?" Jungkook asked eagerly, staring at his little sunshine who rolled his eyes while pretending to think.

"What does this buff bunny want?" Taehyung then asked.

"What can this little bear give?"

"Anything you want." Taehyung whispered on top of his lips in a confident way.

"Anything? Are you sure?" Jungkook asked again, tilting his head and raising an eyebrow.

"Yes, anything."

Jungkook smiled on his own to see his confidence, nothing but butterflies in his belly. Maybe he should really ask him.

"You're mine tonight, if I win." As Jungkook declared, he lowered his hand from Taehyung's waist to squeeze his ass cheek and Taehyung gasped slightly but burst into a smile nevertheless.

"And if you lose?" Taehyung then asked sassily and Jungkook narrowed his eyes.

"I'm winning. Now I have to win."

And with this Taehyung was again pulled into a fast kiss, Jungkook is obsessed with those lips and cheek.

But they have to end it here or else they'd be caught, not in a good way.
