Following that day, the four of them decided to get back to the cafeteria during break time.

Jungkook and Taehyung were already waiting for the two by the table, busy chatting with a wide smile never leaving Taehyung's lips.

He has never been this giddy around anyone as much as he does with Jungkook, like why is Jungkook so silly and so funny to him? He doesn't know.

If his brother does something like that, that'll be annoying but since it was Jungkook he would let his lips spread eye to eye.

"...and you know what I did later? Bit that dog back, because that animal gotta pay off for messing with me." Jungkook recited an old incident from his childhood which was about a fight with a dog back in time.

Why was he telling this to Taehyung in the first place? Well, it's because Taehyung got curious about a tiny scar on his hand.

Poor cute brunet was a laughing mess on the table while Jungkook seemed so serious about his story, unfazed by the way Taehyung was throwing himself on him from time to time.

Since Jungkook was serious about it, it made the incident seem funnier.

"Was the dog okay?" Taehyung asked after a while, trying to contain himself but he bet one more word from Jungkook and he'll burst again.

"No he was definitely not- Wait, are you on my team or the dog?" Jungkook suddenly asked, seeming offended, not really actually, and that's when Taehyung lost it again.

Just when his head was about to hit the table Jungkook's hand slid right on time to be his cushion and this time he too couldn't help the smile appearing on his face to see the other laughing on his hand.

"You're really enjoying it huh?" Jungkook asked, watching Taehyung who was nowhere near stopping.

Jungkook didn't know he could make someone laugh like this. He knew he was a clown but making someone laugh? A new thing.

Taehyung tried to sit up, inhaling deeply, tapping his cheeks to relax that soreness of too much laughing while Jungkook just admired him in pure adoration.

Taehyung indeed is immeasurably adorable. He has a charm that is too magnetic. Jungkook didn't understand he felt that way, never even a girl made him feel that way so that seemed more odd coming from a guy, who never left a chance to show that he's gay.

Jungkook soon looked away as he realized that he's messing with the wrong person.

Taehyung controlled himself from laughing, realizing how Jungkook's free hand was on his back all the time when he was having a hustle while laughing. That warm weight against his back soon made him feel some  way.

He didn't understand how it all was affecting him little by little. But it was and he knew if Jungkook won't feel the same way, he'll end up being hurt so bad.

Soon they got completely silent, just reaching out to grab their drinks and take a sip of their straws.

"And after that incident, my parents forbid me to own any pet." Jungkook then finished but Taehyung couldn't understand what got in him and he burst into laughter again, luckily not choking on his drink.

Jungkook looked so puzzled but couldn't help his nose from scrunching later and smiled at the other.

"You're really enjoying it."

"I can't - lord, I can't help it." Taehyung continued laughing, pointing at Jungkook who just knitted his eyebrows in a bewilderment with a smile, looking just as adorable.

"W-what?" And Jungkook choked up as well, ending up laughing too and this didn't stop for them.

Just when they try to stop, a mere glance at each other and they would end up laughing again.

"Look who's laughing after leaving me stranded." And soon the two got distracted by a familiar voice, coming from Jimin who pulled a chair to sit right in the opposite of where the two were sitting.

Taehyung sat straight, trying to contain his laughter. His whole face had turned red, eyes teary and facial muscles almost exhausted. He couldn't understand why.

The boy reached out to grab his drink and take a sip again while Jungkook did the same.

"Oh Jimin… did my bitch miss me?" Taehyung asked after containing himself.

"A lot but maybe you didn't, that face can show." Jimin pointed out that contagious smile on his face.

"Ahhh… long story. Anyway, where's Dowoo?" Taehyung asked and Jimin rolled his eyes at the mention of the elder twin.

"With new bitches." Jimin took Taehyung's drink to sip on.

"New bitches?" Jungkook asked curiously, bending towards the table.

"Look who else is interested in bitches." Jimin made a teasing face while Jungkook chuckled, shaking his head.

"No, just curious because V barely seems interested in anything let alone being interested in bitches."

"And what about you?" Jimin shot the question, bending against the table as well but soon Taehyung pushed the two apart.

"Well, we are bitches too. Aren't you my bitch, Jimin?" Taehyung then asked Jimin who sassily nodded while Jungkook chuckled again.

"You two are anything but bitches. In fact you two are adorable." Jungkook added and Jimin gave him an impressed look, tilting his head and putting his face on his palm, his legs crossed over with back arching in a sexy manner.

"He's anything but adorable, and I can bet you on that." Soon Dowoo walked in the scene, catching everyone's attention, pulling a chair beside Jimin to sit on, turning his body towards Jimin to sit back and stare at him while Jimin played it cool, not sparing him attention.

"No one asked your opinion, it's Jungkook who was expressing himself."

"It was for me." Taehyung added, sounding so adorably offended as if he was debating.

"Neither are you." V added and Taehyung rolled his eyes.

Jungkook simply chuckled to see the trio at it again.

"Like seriously what's this beef going on with you?" Jungkook asked V who simply sprawled on his chair.

"It's a lone man's suffer who's stuck with two twinks-" Before V could complete himself the two friends turned to him, seeming offended.

"Excuse me!?" The two yelled in unison and V shut his eyes tight at the noise while Jungkook seemed to enjoy it a lot.

"See." V added and Jungkook extended his hand to his friend, showing him his support.

"Seems like you two ended up in the same classes too?" Jungkook asked, sensing it by their behavior and Jimin carried Taehyung's drink to sip on.

"Unfortunately yes."

"Ask me the burden." V added and this time Jimin carried his bag, hitting him with it once who didn't even budge.

"Bitch you wanna know the burden? You wanna know the real burden? I can change the club right now. But why would I even change when you know I love dance, now it's you a broken trumpet who needs to leave. If have a fucking problem, leave." Jimin snapped back while V casually sat straight.

He carried the spare drink again, shoving straw into Jimin's mouth before turning his attention to his best friend Jungkook who was trying his best to not laugh but it seemed so difficult.

"You'll turn Jungkook into a meanie like you too." Taehyung said to his brother who was as always unbothered.

"Didn't you turn Jimin into a bitch like you?" He added and Jimin snapped his head towards him, looking at him in a challenging manner.

"Dare utter a word about my boy and I'll munch those slender man fingers of yours." Jimin stated angrily while V smiled simply, bringing those fingers to his lips, tapping them.

"Knew you have a fetish for them." V whispered, almost thickening the air around them.

For a moment Jungkook sat attentively, holding his breath while Taehyung narrowed his eyes instead, face palming himself inside.

But what Jimin did instead was not expected and it was taking a bite of his finger tip, causing V to retract back and wince in pain.

"That's what you get to mess with me." Saying this, Jimin sat up, reaching out for Taehyung's hand.

"Come Tae, we're leaving. We can't sit on a table where we are insulted." Jimin retorted in V's direction who was busy shaking his finger.

"Isn't it always? Why do you two always bother sitting with me then?" V added and Jimin spared his attention to him again.

"From now on, mind your own business. Sitting with you? I won't even look at you." Jimin retorted, the ingrown anger was an outcome of the earlier event in the class which V was well aware of.

Jimin, as mad as he was, dragged Taehyung away who actually didn't want to leave the table but let himself be dragged because if he won't be there for his bitch then who will.

"Bro, are you alright though?" Jungkook later on asked Dowoo, referring to his finger but he was busy looking at Jimin's way.

"Oh no, it's fine. I'm used to kittens biting me anyway." Dowoo said later, looking down at his finger while Jungkook chuckled again.

"Bro, you two are something else." Jungkook smiled so big, shaking his head in disbelief.

Dowoo smiled sheepishly, looking down at his hand. Yes, Jimin is just something else.

~♡~

"You seem a bit upset, why is that?" Soon Taehyung asked Jimin, the two of them sitting in a basketball court on the bleachers, each one having a burrito together.

Jimin, who had puffy cheeks all this while, focused on his food and took a bite.

"Nothing."

"That nothing means something, why is that?" Taehyung asked again, looking at his friend as he tilted a little in his direction.

"Do you think he'll get involved with bitches again?" Jimin asked, sounding a bit sorrowful.

"Who? Dowoo?"

"Who else then?"

"I mean, you know him. He was never serious for anyone." Taehyung added.

"But that's the real issue, he never gets serious for anyone. And in this university there are a lot of available bitches. I just don't want him to get on the wrong way and make it his life. Last time it happened he was not him." Jimin whispered in a worried tone and Taehyung sighed as well.

"I know you're worried and all but he still does what he wants to do anyway so there's no point of being worried. If he forgets the way he knows how to come back home." Taehyung assured but it didn't faze the amount of sorrow Jimin had.

"Why is he such an asshole? I seriously want to fight him all the time because he deserves it but he doesn't give a damn and acts as if he doesn't care at all. He's so annoying." Jimin whined and Taehyung patted his back.

"Relax, you're overreacting. Dowoo might be an asshole but I think he has changed now. He barely got involved with anyone in the past few years."

"It was because of the pandemic, bitch or else his filthy dick could never rest." Jimin retorted.

"It is but-"

"He's still an asshole and he's already onto that." Jimin whispered, shrinking into a ball sadly.

"You're really so bothered at this point for nothing. Relax, he'll be just alright."

That's the point, I hate to see him being alright with anyone that isn't me. Jimin thought.

The two quietly sat there, focusing on their food and minding their own business until suddenly a ball came into their way and sadly Taehyung became the victim of it and was hit on his head.

It took them by surprise and Jimin dropped his burrito, checking on his friend who held his head with his hands, groaning in sheer pain.

"Taehyungie? Are you alright? Tae? Look at me?" Jimin kept asking, rubbing his head with his own hands until Taehyung removed his hands to look up.

Jimin brushed away his permed brown locks from the forehead, exposing the fresh red bump over it and the way he fumed up was no joke.

"Hey kid! Pass on the ball." Soon Jimin heard a guy, asking for his ball while Jimin looked so furious as if he'd mass murder the group of guys who hit his bestie.

"And if I don't?" He asked in a low tone, gritting his teeth.

"Don't be silly."

"You hurt him, can't you fucking see? And what ball? Are you fucking blind or something, couldn't see us sitting here having our meals peacefully?" Jimin retorted.

"Not our fault you two maggots were sitting here. We're playing a game." The guy said in his defense and Jimin raised his eyebrows at his audacity.

Taehyung at the other side was still wincing with the pain.

"What type of a loser player are you? Do you usually also hit your audience sitting in the bleachers watching your game?" Jimin asked sassily and that guy got irritated.

"Pass on the fuckin ball."

"No, why? Why do you even need this ball to act like a macho when your own little balls can't even play well." Jimin insulted again and the guy had enough.

Taehyung could see the guy seemed mad so he pulled Jimin's pant, wanting him to sit next to him and leave them fucking alone.

"Give me the ball." The guy said dangerously but Jimin was not a loser like them.

"Why? You don't have them?"

And ah oh. The guy climbed up on the bleachers, rushing towards Jimin and forcefully taking away his ball which had Jimin falling down by the impact, the poor boy hitting his elbow at the ground.

Taehyung stood up, rushing towards his friend, helping him to get up and filling up with an ingrown anger.

"Who do you think you are, huh?" Taehyung asked after helping Jimin stand up who was brushing the dirt off his clothes.

"Why? You wanna know?" The guy asked, coming closer to Taehyung who was staring up at him as if shooting bullets with his gaze.

"Yes, tell me 'cause I wanna know." And soon their attention was stolen by a guy standing afar, black long hair, handsome with a strong physique and an aura so confident, standing in his basketball jersey and shorts.

"Messing with the freshers again? What did I tell you, you midget? Your focus is everywhere but practice, I can see. Fifty push ups before the first round, got it?" He came by and started scolding the guy who was messing with the two.

"But it wasn't my fault-"

"Sixty push ups."

"They sat in a wrong place-"

"Seventy."

The guy kept explaining and the new guy kept counting until the other one gave up and rushed away with his ball.

And that's when the said male spared his attention to Taehyung and Jimin.

"Are you two alright?" He asked and Jimin nodded gently, captivated by the guy.

How can a man be this beautiful, yet hot, yet attractive at the same time while resembling an adorable animal such as a cat.

"Don't mind these losers, they are frustrated that they can't actually win. Next time they mess with you, inform me." He explained and Taehyung nodded, looking at his face with his adorable doe eyes.

"But… you?" Taehyung asked cutely, not knowing who he was.

"Oh, it's the basketball team captain, Min Yoongi. Just use my name next time anyone messes with you." He informed and the two nodded like a pair of obedient puppies.

Soon Yoongi heard a whistle, turning his head around.

"Okay, I'll get going." He then turned around and walked away, tapping the ball to the ground all along like a pro basketball player he is.

"What was that?" Taehyung asked Jimin who kept looking at his way.

"Man's kinda hot." Jimin whispered and Taehyung turned his attention to him.

"Oh, that's your third crush in the university by the way." Taehyung commented and Jimin sighed dreamily.

"I mean look at him, epitome of a cool hot guy."

"Bitch decide on one, cool or hot." Taehyung chuckled, walking up to the bleachers to get their stuff.

"Now you care about the cold pack for your head bitch, suppress it down before Dowoo sees it." Jimin added and Taehyung sighed.

"And your hand doesn't seem okay either." Taehyung came back down, taking Jimin's hand in his own to find the scratches on his palm.

"My arm hurts too?" Jimin pouted, rubbing his elbow.

"You didn't need to be brave by the way. That man was hella big and an asshole."

"That doesn't allow him to hurt you and get away with it?" Jimin snapped cutely and Taehyung just smiled.

"My Mimi, don't you worry. I'm fine, okay?" Taehyung assured while Jimin only extended his hands to his head again, brushing off his hair to see his bump.

"It's bigger now, let's get it treated."

~♡~

The two went to the infirmary of the college to get them checked, then spending the rest of the time out in the campus ground and missing the classes together.

They didn't realize how the entire time of the classes was over and the two were sitting there on a beach together, usually the only spot for them.

Jimin was sitting beside Taehyung, helping him icing his head with a cold water bottle and a bunch of snacks offered to his bestie who couldn't feel the pain anymore due to all that care his soulmate was always up for.

"Next time I see that motherfucker. I'll make sure to hit him in the balls. How dare he get away with it without even apologizing?" Jimin murmured angrily and Taehyung sighed, leisurely munching on his snacks.

"You have said it a hundred times in the last hour. It's okay Jimin. I'm fine. And Can't you fucking sit back, you're hurt too." Taehyung scolded and took the cold bottle from Jimin's hand, shoving snacks into his mouth.

"What's with you two brothers and your fetish of shoving things into my mouth to shut me?" Jimin snapped cutely, still munching on the snacks.

"That's the only way." Taehyung smiled, continuing to shove snacks into his mouth.

Soon they felt a presence around them, the two turning to find Dowoo there. Taehyung looked up at his brother who had a frown on his face.

The younger twin looked down to check the time on his wrist watch, realizing their classes for the day were over and Dowoo was at their spot to get them because they had to go home.

"Oh Dowoo, you're here? Let's go home." Taehyung tried to act cool, standing up with his backpack and Dowoo stepped closer to his brother, extending his hands to remove the bangs from his forehead to see that bump.

Taehyung retracted back.

"Oh it's nothing it's from-"

"Who did that?" Dowoo asked, a serious frown in his face.

"Nothing, it was just an accident-"

"Who. Did. That?" Dowoo asked again in a low tone.

"Didn't he say it was an accident? Can't you fucking hear?" Jimin added, standing up to stand in front of Taehyung but Dowoo looked down at Jimin, furrowing more as he pulled his hand to look down.

Before Jimin could pull his hand away, V held it tighter, looking at the bandage on the bottom of his palm.

"I asked you, who did it?" The male only seemed to get worse by his mood.

"None of your business." Jimin pulled his hand away.

"Tell me who did it or else I'll find it myself and if I do, it'll be worse." Dowoo warned and the pair of besties couldn't tell, something was definitely gonna happen.

Because now, V has been snapped.
