Taehyung tapped on the wooden surface, he made up his mind with the help of Jimin who stayed on the phone with him while he waited to come over.

Much to the surprise of Taehyung, it wasn't any of the Jeon Twins answering the front door but an older lady who had a short bob. She tilted her head slightly to the side, humming. "Yes?"

Taehyung bit his lip shyly. "Erm, uh . . . I had this thingy-type project due with Jeongguk. Is he here?" Asked Taehyung with nervousness laced in his vowels.

The lady opened the door wide, turning her head the other direction while calling for her son. Now with realization, Taehyung took into full notice how much his lady looked like the twins, now seeing it was their very mother.

Taehyung hadn't heard much about her. He knew she went on quite a lot of business trips and was usually gone half of the time.

Was it bad to say that Taehyung almost felt honored to see her?

Jeongguk walked down the steps, seeing Taehyung standing in the doorway. "Yah! Get in here!" He said. "You're letting all of the warm air out of the house," commented the younger of the two teenagers.

Taehyung obeyed, walking inside and closing the door behind him. "Sorry, Ggukie," Taehyung pressed the door closed gently. "Shall we head up to your room to get started?" Asked Taehyung.

"Yeah, sure, but let me finish one more game of Fortnite and I promise we can start on our work assignment." Jeongguk gave a grin, tilting his head back to give an indication for Taehyung to follow him up the steps.

Not only was this a tad bit awkward considering the very fact that Taehyung had pulsing feelings for Jeongguk, but he had to sit on the teen's bed and watch him play a game. Not like one single match like promised, it now up to the forth one.

Taehyung just decided to scroll through his phone, liking photos of his friends on Instagram as he passed them.

He stumbled over a photo, one he hadn't yet seen until now.

Taehyung smiled, happy to see Jimin getting along so well with Yoongi. It made his day and made him truly warm inside.

He knew Jimin would get more friends beside Taehyung but he loved that this friend was in the whole group they had going on.

There were times where Jimin made friends with someone who only hurt him but Taehyung knew that Yoongi nor Hoseok would ever hurt the sweet Mochi.

Jimin and Taehyung's call was something similar to the situation with Yoongi and Jimin and Hoseok.

Their call went accordingly:

"Taehyung? Are you okay? Did something happen?" Jimin answered worriedly, always on edge when Taehyung randomly called in without much of a notice. "Do I need to kick someone's shin?"

Taehyung chuckled. "No, hyung, I have something serious to talk about though. And I know you'll say 'I told you so', but-"

"You like one of the twins? I knew it, I told you so. Which one? Jungkook? Do you like Jungkook? Is it Jeongguk? I knew it." Jimin chuckled, leaning back as he stretched out his legs on his side.

Taehyung went mute for a moment, gulping the thick lump blocking his air ways. He bit his bottom lip nervously, hearing Jimin gasp.

"No, you like both of them?" Jimin inquired. Taehyung didn't need to say a word, Jimin already knew what Taehyung wanted to say. "How did you end up liking both of them? They're two different people-"

"Yeah, who look exactly alike!" Taehyung cut Jimin off this time, groaning. "I like how different they are. I like how caring and sweet Jungkook is and how he can be so protective of me. I also like how dominant Jeongguk is and how he seems very possessive, did you see how he looked when someone started filtering with his brother? He knew the girl was a, ya know, s-word, and he wasn't playing those games." Taehyung commented.

"What if I was his boyfriend? I would love to know how they both would treat me." Taehyung sighed, rubbing his chest. "I get butterflies by looking at them. AND I have this stupid paper thing to do with Jeongguk. Talk about coincidental." He sighed softly.

Jimin was smiling, he couldn't express how happy he was for Taehyung. After nearly three years of Taehyung being single since Minji, Taehyung finally obtained a crush on someone. And not just that, it was two boys.

Jimin wanted nothing more than to see Taehyung fall in love again, especially with the Jeon Twins. At first, Jimin would've preferred he only like Jungkook but he's happy that Taehyung likes them both.

"I'm pretty sure they like you too. Tae, you may not see it but Jeongguk and Jungkook treat you a lot different from other people and I've been telling you this for awhile. They like you back." Jimin admitted.

"I just don't feel like they do. I don't pay attention to how they treat other people." Taehyung muttered into the phone.

"Are you sure you're just not afraid to like someone again? To fall in love?" Jimin's voice was so soft, the Mochi wanted to seem gentle with bringing up the triggering topic.

Taehyung held his breath before slowly letting it escape. "I don't want to be hurt, Jiminie-hyung." He whispered.

"And you won't be . . ."

"What if they leave me?"

"They won't,"

"What if they use me?"

"They wouldn't,"

"Can you promise me that?"

"I can promise you that they will love you,"

". . ."

"I can promise they'll fall in love with how beautiful and how perfect you are, Tae. I can promise that you will eventually love them."

". . ."

"I can promise you'll be happy being with them and they won't hurt you. Tae, I never will break another promise to you. I'm telling you, I promise."

"But . . . What if I ask and they say no? Or they don't want to both be with me?"

"Then maybe try and convince them or gravitate to the one you like more,"

"I like them both the same,"

"It's okay, Tae, you're thinking too much into this." Jimin said, smiling though Taehyung couldn't see it. "You said you have a project? When are you guys working on it?" Asked Jimin with a soft, Mochi tone.

Taehyung felt thankful for Jimin. "Today, in like forty more minutes." He mentioned, rubbing the back of his neck.

"Tell him, tell them that you like them. And if Jungkook isn't there then yeah, just tell Jeongguk. You can do this, don't let anything stop you, I believe in you."

"But-"

"But nothing. Get ready and smell nice, style your hair, tell me how it goes. Get laid." Jimin chuckled at the last part of his sentence, hearing Taehyung choke on saliva.

"Good luck, Taehyung,"

And there Taehyung sat, trying to think of how he could tell this game addicted teen he liked him a lot and wanted to be his boyfriend.

First thing was first and that was to get Jeongguk to actually set the remote down so they could start on the paper.

"Yah! Battle Royal! First!" Jeongguk threw his arms in the air, looking back at Taehyung with the widest bunny-like smile. "Did you see?" He asked.

Taehyung nodded even though he didn't see anything, he hid his phone, watching the screen. "That was an awesome kill, Ggukie." He smiled. "Don't you think we should start our project though?"

"Nonsense, we have awhile. Now, how about you try and play?" Jeongguk stood up from the chair, sitting beside Taehyung on the bed.

"What? I don't- I can't- I'm not good at games," he admitted, shaking his head.

"I'll show you how to play, I promise, you won't do bad." Jeongguk have a reassuring smile.

Taehyung couldn't help himself, he took the remote, looking at the screen in front of him. "Ugh, what do I push now?" He asked, looking at the remote.

Jeongguk crawled behind Taehyung, his legs hanging off the side of the bed with Jeongguk sitting directly behind him. The younger snaked his arms around, laying his hands on top of Taehyung's delicate fingers.

The ravenette's set his chin on the older's shoulder, looking between the screen and Taehyung's fingers on the control.

No one knew what was going through Taehyung's mind, the fact his crush was sitting behind him like this, he wanted nothing more but than to just scream his lungs off he liked him and his identical twin brother.

"Push this to run, this to crouch, you're going to need to aim a gun so you'll push these buttons, and yeah," Jeongguk muttered, looking at Taehyung with his round, chocolate eyes.

Taehyung looked back at him, their eyes locking. Jeongguk's smile fell, his lips slightly parted while Taehyung was there with nervousness circling his eyes, pursing his lips ever so slightly.

No words were exchanged between the two of them, their heartbeats and breathing was heard — and the game but that wasn't on focus.

Taehyung looked away, his cheeks burning as red as his hair, averting his gaze away. He couldn't sit there like that and feel okay.

The red head pushed to his feet, shaking his head. "I-I'm sorry, I can't," Taehyung muttered, fixing his shirt. He was about to grab his things until he was tugged back by strong arms, brought onto Jeongguk's muscular thighs.

Before he could comprehend the actions of the aforementioned, he felt soft lips press to his own, arms wrapped around his waist and holding him in place.

Taehyung had no other option but to give in and kiss his crush back, his hands moving to cup his cheeks.
