The gypsum mannequin was shattered everywhere in pieces, his head and body distorted completely even that tiny wiener landing right near Jungkook's feet who was trying to come to an acceptance of what he just did.

The entire attention of the students in the gallery was shifted to them and Taehyung too was feeling embarrassed to have that all attention on them.

And on cue walked in their seniors, nothing left to say but to join them in the dilemma of seeing that distorted figure on the ground.

Jin finally broke out of his trance, fixing his glasses before inhaling.

"You did not just break a sculpture here." Jin said out of disbelief and the two juniors looked more embarrassed than ever.

"So may I ask how it happened?" Namjoon asked and Jungkook inhaled before deciding to apologize right away and get away with it, what else can they do?

"So-"

"It was me. I got a sudden sprain in my ankle, and just tripped and hit that mannequin." Taehyung blurted out in a single breath, taking a deep breath after it.

Jungkook looked at his face with an expression of sheer disbelief.

"Taehyung? Really?" Jin asked his junior who hung his head low before sparing his one glance at Jungkook who was at a loss of words.

"Yes, and I'm so sorry. I'll take responsibility for it. Whatever it is." Taehyung whispered and the seniors spared each other glances, the poor guy's acceptance was all that they could see in front of that mess.

"Just clean the mess before any professor finds it out. It's okay, it was an accident after all." Namjoon said after a while, patting Taehyung's shoulder.

"Everyone, move to your classes." Jin announced just on cue, wanting the rest of the students to leave the gallery right away and they did after his command.

"Just clean the mess and join your classes." Jin spoke one last time and signed Namjoon to follow him as the two of them decided to leave the two clowns alone.

And just as they did Taehyung took a deep breath, releasing all his stress out with it.

"Woah, we were almost in trouble." Taehyung whispered and Jungkook just looked at his face with silence.

"Why did you lie?" He asked Taehyung, his sudden serious low voice was not what Taehyung was used to.

That voice held a different sort of depth to it that Taehyung was definitely not much used to and to hear it so, something in him tingled. The dark charcoal eyes staring into his brown eyes with a different sort of emotion he couldn't comprehend. Staying next to Jungkook is sometimes not that easy because there would always be a moment for the brunet to feel some type of way. Now, he was smitten by his voice.

"Because it indeed was an accident? Isn't it?" Taehyung asked a while later, round big eyes on Jungkook that screamed innocence and sincerity with a punch of adorableness that Jungkook hadn't seen in a while, not even a child's eyes.

"But I did, not you."

"It doesn't matter, we both were about to be in trouble anyway. Now let's finish this up. And yeah text Dowoo it'll take you a while to go back to the classes, I'll leave a text to Jimin." Taehyung played it cool and already sat up to collect the pieces one by one.

Jungkook's eyes never left him, not even for once as he also followed his actions and decided to carry the parts.

"This is really small." Taehyung then soon carried the broken wiener in his hands showing it to Jungkook who finally broke out of his trance and Jungkook laughed as soon as noticed it.

"Oh, poor his wife." Taehyung commented and Jungkook almost sat back on the ground, not able to squat anymore.

"Oh you really are something." Jungkook commented in the middle of an attempt to calm his lungs down from laughing.

What makes jokes funnier is that Taehyung says it with a dead serious face and Jungkook is a fan of that.

~♡~

Shortly after when their meetings were over, none of the two pairs had the mood to continue their classes.

Definitely not V who left the theater just as quick as they concluded the meeting, almost leaving Jimin behind who was busy carrying his bag and in a moment V was already at the exit.

"V! Wait!" Jimin yelled from the back but V was pretending not to hear him.

"V!" Jimin rushed behind him, out to the corridor.

"V! Wait!" He kept yelling but V pretended not to listen as he walked away through the corridor.

"Dowoo!" Jimin yelled his real name this time, trying to catch up with the taller male who turned around in a span of seconds, Jimin collided with his chest and the taller male's hands were quick to grab him to prevent him from falling and as soon as he realized he let him go.

"Why would you call me that?" Dowoo asked with a frown on his face.

"You were not listening to me, what do you think I had to do?" Jimin retorted sassily, hands on his hips as he looked up at the other male.

"Why didn't you wait for me?" Jimin asked, raising his eyebrows as if demanding him to give him an answer.

"I didn't want to."

"Why fucking not?"

"What's your fucking problem?" V asked rudely and Jimin dropped his shoulders before looking at Dowoo with an unusual gaze that screamed nothing but agony.

"You, your ass that's not talking to me." Jimin replied with a bit of frustration hidden beneath his voice.

"My ass doesn't talk."

"But your fucking mouth definitely do."

"What do you want?"

"Talk to me."

"I am." V whispered coldly and Jimin didn't approve of his attitude.

"Do it nicely."

"Never did."

"You know you're being rude."

"Then why are you following me around?"

"It's because I fucking want to talk to you and you're acting rude for no reason at all." Jimin snapped back and tried to inhale, trying his best to control his anger while Dowoo didn't seem to give two fucks.

The little male didn't receive any reply, the two spared each other glances in silence until Jimin decided to break it.

"Okay, I'll treat you with ice cream today, will it settle that for you?" Jimin then tried to lure him.

"Do you think I'm a child?"

"Yes you are, you are being one right now. I'm trying to be nice, don't fucking test me." Jimin snapped back again.

"I didn't ask you to be because that's not what you are." V whispered and that stang Jimin like a fucking arrow through his chest.

And he had enough.

"Yeah, I am mean and rude that's what you are trying to say? Then tell me why is it a problem to you when I'm not around? Why was your ass yelling at me not to leave you fucking alone when it's exactly what you are doing?"

"It wasn't for you." Dowoo deep inside knew he needed to shut up but he couldn't.

Jimin stood still, shoulders heaving up and down with anger building up inside.

"Then, hear me out. If it wasn't for Taehyung being your brother I would never even be around you because a dirty scumbag is what you are with all that trashy attitude." Jimin snapped back at him as he was finally tested from all the aspects, not even wanting to stay in his proximity for a moment.

Dowoo just looked down at his face with his own blank one, Jimin looked absolutely mad and he could see it too. What Jimin said affected him negatively as well.

Does he really never have Jimin as a friend? Was he always Taehyung's friend?

And in the meantime Jimin decided to turn around and walk away, not wanting to receive the silence from the other one anymore who was not as silent inside.

But there was a reason Dowoo was this frustrated and he maybe was not ready to let anybody know.

~♡~

"Would you go back to your classes?" Jungkook asked Taehyung as soon as they were done cleaning the mess.

"Not wanting to, I already missed half of it."

"Let's skip then." Jungkook suggested and Taehyung looked up at him with an expression of question.

"You saved me, how about an ice cream?" Jungkook asked and Taehyung smiled, hitting his arm slightly.

"What do you mean by saving you? Aren't friends supposed to do it for each other?"

"You still didn't say yes to the ice cream." Jungkook narrowed his eyes and Taehyung rolled his eyes playfully.

"Sure, I guess?"

"Guess?"

"Okay Mister. Shall we head to the cafeteria already?" And then Taehyung playful dragged Jungkook by his arm and to the cafeteria while the silly other male was smiling big for no fucking reason.

~♡~

Jungkook was already by the counter, waiting in the line.

"What flavor?" He asked and Taehyung only looked up at the flavor chart.

"Umm... anything you prefer?"

"Mint choco?" Jungkook asked excitedly, his eyes growing big with the mention and Taehyung looked up at his eyes, blinking and wondering.

"Ah... yeah... sure."

They were still in the waiting line, just their number was about to come and suddenly Jimin arrived at the scene, grabbing Taehyung's hand and pulling him somewhere but the brunet didn't move.

"Jimin, what happened?" Taehyung asked while Jimin tried not to look up, pouty lips and puffy cheeks as he seemed pretty tense.

"Come with me. I need you." He whispered, his hands wrapped around Taehyung's arm who looked at his face with concern.

"What happened guys?" Jungkook asked and the little male didn't say.

"What is it, Jimin?" Taehyung asked him as well.

"I don't wanna take more classes and go home. Will you join me or should I leave?" Jimin asked, sounding very off and Taehyung grew worried.

"What happened? Are you not feeling well?" He asked and Jimin just nodded, pout getting poutier.

Taehyung looked over at Jungkook's direction as if giving him an apologetic look as he had to urgently leave and Jungkook just gave him a blink.

"Take care, we'll meet tomorrow." Jungkook said it lastly and that's when Taehyung walked away with Jimin, leaving the black haired male to stare at his way.

~♡~

The pair of soulmates decided to go to Jimin's place, his aunt's home in particular where they went straight into Jimin's room, the tiny male throwing tantrums as soon they went, whining continuously and it took a while for Taehyung to understand his gibberish.

"Your brother, he is an asshole. Such an asshole. I fucking hate his face, his voice, his body, him. Everything!" Jimin whined jumping on his bed with his face dug into the mattress and that's when Taehyung crossed his arms.

"Was this your 'being unwell'?" Taehyung asked and Jimin tilted his head from the mattress.

"He is so annoying."

"What did he do now for you to act like a bitch?" Taehyung sat next to him on the bed and Jimin sat back up, feeling offended by his friend's question.

"Don't take his side already or else I'll stop talking to you too." Jimin warned in a cute offended way and Taehyung couldn't help but pull him closer, right next to him.

"What is it? Why is my little chick so mad?" He asked and Jimin grew his pouty plum lips into a dense pout.

"Your brother is so rude. I was trying to talk to him all day but he just gave me a cold shoulder and was mean to me all day. I even asked him to have ice cream with me and what he said later was just argh." Jimin explained hastily and Taehyung heard him through quietly.

"Is he still not paying attention?"

"He is rude. So rude. He called me rude and mean instead while he is the rude one. He thinks he's cool but lemme tell you he's not. He is such a scumbag who has nothing good to say." Jimin continuously whined and laid on the bed again and Taehyung patted his butt.

"You too always mess around. Don't worry Jimin, it'll be alright tomorrow."

"No, not anymore. I'm not going to talk to him. Not even look at him. Not even for once." Jimin kept whining and Taehyung just sighed.

"Now that sounds impossible."

"No, now you'll see. I have officially unfriended him today. If I don't matter to him he doesn't either."

"Jimin... let's have something to eat and then spend the day watching movies because you suddenly are not in your right mind."

"Stop gaslighting me. I'm in my right mind but your brother probably isn't."

"Okay, I'll scold him for that. Now can we really eat something? I'm starving." Taehyung requested and Jimin sat up.

"Order something then."

"I'll, now throw the tantrums away and be a good lil baby you are, my squishy mellow." Taehyung held his puffy cheeks, squeezing them in pure adoration and Jimin was too weak for that.

Yes, he would do anything Taehyung would ask him to.

~♡~

The entire day the pair of soulmates spent with each other at Jimin's place. They binged an entire show together and forgot about the rest of other things until it was dark and Taehyung decided to go back.

Taehyung even got to have dinner with Jimin's aunt and little cousins before going back.

Jimin demanded Taehyung to stay over for the sleepover but Taehyung couldn't as per their next day being a week day and he didn't bring spare clothes either.

However he promised Jimin to come for a sleepover soon and that's how he let him go.

On his way back home the younger twin didn't forget to buy his brother some Mc Donald's on his way back home with a mindset of having a conversation with him for mistreating his best friend.

"I'm home." He yelled once he came back, putting the food down by the kitchen counter to walk into the living space and finding the casement of their attached balcony being opened.

And he could clearly see his brother's bare back there with some smoke over his head.

Taehyung crossed his arms, knowing exactly what he was doing.

"Wait, am I seeing it right? Are you smoking?" Taehyung asked and V turned around, still smoking.

"Dowoo are you smoking again?" Taehyung asked and V just didn't spare him any attention and focused on his nicotine bar.

"You promised me that you left it, now why again?" Taehyung asked and the elder looked up at him with lopsided eyes with an uninterested gaze.

"Why? Can't I? I'm a fucking adult and can do whatever I want." He replied coldly and the younger brother frowned.

"How about I call mom and tell her about it?" Taehyung warned but the elder twin just looked so unfazed.

"Go on."

"You're really stubborn. And Jimin was right, mean and rude too."

*I'm burning my own lungs. Why is it a problem to you?"

"It is a problem for me. Yes it is. Now fucking fuse it and come to the kitchen."

"I ate. Leave now."

This made the younger twin more angry who walked into his direction and snatched it from his hand and fused under his foot.

"If I see you doing this again, I'll seriously call mom."

"I didn't stop you, go on."

"What's fun in this huh? You told me you won't. Why do you wanna do it again?" Taehyung demanded and the elder twin rolled his eyes.

"I wanna suck cigs you wanna suck dicks we're not the same, bro."

"Yeah my lungs wanna run out of moaning and yours are gonna run out of smoking, we're really not the same." The younger twin replied back with the same sass.

"Don't fucking bring my sexuality into this to defend your bad habits. If liking a man is a problem to you, deal with it because this is who I am." Taehyung retorted in front of his face and Dowoo just looked at his face silently.

The two shared a moment of silently glaring at each other and Taehyung could really well see his brother's eyes, he seemed bothered so he decided to not nag him anymore.

"Food is at the counter. If you feel hungry eat it and if you don't do whatever you want. Should have known better you're such an asshole today." Taehyung looked up and down at him to give him an identity check and Dowoo just treated him with silence again.

It's easy for some but not for him. He hates how his brother can easily claim to love a man while for him it sickened him to the core and he hated that feeling.

───♡───

👀 Dowoo is straight in the story by the way.

I need to bring some tension in. Stay tuned for more fun. See you this Wednesday!
