Taehyung groaned. "What should I get him? I want him to know I care!" He complained while pouting, looking around the small store. He went from aisle to aisle, looking up and down the shelves.

Yoongi rubbed his face, shaking his head. "Namjoon and Seokjin-hyung said they would be coming in a bit later, that they have to do some things before they come in. I think they finally got to fucking."

Jimin hit the eldest's arm. "Keep this PG, Taehyung is an innocent bean." He mentioned.

"Didn't Taehyung himself have sex before?" Yoongi inquired, tilting his head as he took a glance over at Jimin, watching his reaction.

"Tae doesn't like talking about those times, bad memories." Jimin muttered before he began to go and follow Taehyung around the aisles.

Hoseok looked at Yoongi from where he stood. He could sense the fact that Yoongi liked Jimin but he wanted Yoongi to like him.

Maybe he could confess and obtain the older's affection. Hoseok didn't know what he wanted to do anymore. He was sure Yoongi would never return the same feelings he had inside of him.

He snapped from the small trance once seeing Taehyung running around, cheering of all the things he wanted to get for Jeongguk to help him feel better.

Hoseok couldn't help the smile on his lips, rushing after the young teen. "You're going to hurt yourself, Taehyung!" He cried out playfully to the youngest who was full of energy.

"He needs to feel better!" Taehyung giggled, Jimin running right behind him.

Taehyung laughed and ran around, having too much fun for his own good. He saw some pretzels covered in chocolate, picking up the bag.

Soon, the young teen ran around the corner, about to explore the aisles for more things for Jeongguk until he was shoved to the floor, dropping everything he had in his hands.

It was to be determined if it were on purpose or not, but the teen looked up, seeing Jung Suwun stand there with a scowl on his lips.

"Tae? Are you o-" Jimin was cut off when he saw Suwun there. "Did you push him?" Asked Jimin, narrowing his brows with anger. "What the hell is wrong with you?!"

"I didn't push anyone, he ran into me." Commented Suwun, rolling his eyes.

Hoseok and Yoongi turned the corner, both fueled with rage. Everyone was very protective of Taehyung, knowing how small and innocent the small teen was.

"I should kick your ass for what you did to Taehyung." Yoongi said, helping the aforementioned to his feet, making sure he was okay.

Taehyung didn't have any words, he just looked at everything on the floor, seeing as some of the things were broken and/or smashed. He frowned to himself.

Jimin shook his head. "You're a pervert."

"My god, he got his ass touch. It isn't a big deal. But thanks to him, and whichever fucking Jeon Twin, I'm suspended from school for awhile, AND, icing on the cake, I can't play for football anymore." Suwun crosses his arms over his broad chest. "He's lucky any of you are here with him."

Hoseok shook his head. "Taehyung, let's go get more things, okay?" He smiled, taking Taehyung's hand before he walked away with the younger, intertwining their fingers together.

Jimin and Yoongi stayed there. "You deserved what you got. He didn't allow you to touch him and you did anyways. You didn't have his consent. Go the fuck away, won't you?" Jimin snapped, overly protective of his best friend.

Yoongi was taken by surprise but didn't show so. "What he said, go fuck yourself." Yoongi spat on Suwun, shoving him back. "You're garbage." He commented.

"I'm taller than both of you, do you really think that's a good idea?" Asked Suwun, cracking his knuckles.

"Any type of punishment you receive is worth it. I'd like to see you try and show your face back at school. It'll be the worst mistake of your miserable life." Yoongi threatened, not backing down because he knew he wasn't a pussy.

"I can't hit you, someone already beat your ass. Don't make me make it worse." Suwun chuckled. "You're covered in bruises. You won't do shit, Yoongi." He rolled his eyes. "Call me over when you grow a few inches and actually have a chance." He turned on his heels.

Yoongi wasn't going to take that. He sped behind him and shoved him to the ground. "You don't get to say that, bitch." Yoongi snarled.

Jimin gasped. He rushed over, pulling Yoongi's arm. "What are you doing? You're going to get hurt." Jimin said, trying to pull him back.

"Yeah, listen to your fag ass boyfriend. I'm sure he fucking knows a lot." Suwun was beginning to push to his feet until he was pushed again, this time by Jimin.

"You're the one you groped a dude, I don't want to hear you." Jimin then took his own turn to spit on Suwun, taking Yoongi's hand and walking away from the perverted teenager.

"I didn't think you had such anger in you to do that." Mentioned Yoongi, having a found new attraction to Jimin.

Jimin hummed, smiling. "I didn't either. But I don't like being called a fag, and saying I'm your boyfriend is an insult to you."

"Oh? Why's that?" Yoongi asked, following Jimin as he was pulled along. He bit his bottom, small lip, not daring to pull away from the younger.

The blond-haired smiled sadly. "I'm not someone I think you would like too much. Even if you gave me a compliment, I'm sure it's from pity."

Yoongi furrowed his brows. "I don't pity people, Jimin. I genuinely like you." Yoongi didn't realize he said that aloud, feeling both their movements stop.

Jimin turned, looking at the older of the group. "You like me?" He asked, tilting his head. Jimin felt his cheeks warm up, trying to hold a smile down.

Yoongi realized his profound words, his eyes going wide as he shook his head. "No, no, no," he said, pulling his hand away from Jimin.

"You don't?" Jimin frowned, averting his eyes as he looked at the ground, feeling embarrassed.

"No, Jimin, I don't mean that. I do, I like you, but . . . I'm not, hmm," he covered his face. "Can we forget I said that? I do like you but I don't know. Just let me suffer." Yoongi whined.

Jimin smiled back to himself. "Forget what?" He grinned a bit wider.

Yoongi smiled himself, looking at Jimin who tilted his head to the side. They both shared a soft laugh.

Yoongi and Jimin snapped away from themselves once heading Taehyung and Hoseok approaching them. The teens looked to see Taehyung carrying all the things he wanted for Jeongguk again, the widest smile on his perfect face.

"He must be bipolar." Commented Jimin as he rushed over, looking at everything.

There were slippers, candies, pretzels, a Christmas ugly sweater, a comfy pillow, a warm blanket, flowers, a teddy bear, another pillow — but a neck one, cheap movies, and small other things.

"I then brought my DVD player so he can watch movies in the hospital room!" Taehyung said, showing everything he got. "I can buy this for him. I hope he likes it!" He beamed with joy.

The caramel haired teen ran to the counter, dropping everyone on the wooden top. "Can I get all of this? And, please be careful, it's for a friend who's in the hospital!" He grinned as he pushed it close to the lady.

She just nodded, beginning to ring it up.

The other three followed. "We can help pay for some things, Tae." Hoseok muttered but Taehyung shook his head.

"No, I need to do this by myself so he knows I care! Oh! Wait!" Taehyung perked before he ran off, Jimin taking after his friend who was frantically calling out for the ice cream aisle.

Hoseok and Yoongi stood there together, an awkward silence settling between the both of them.

"So . . ." Yoongi hummed, rocking on his heels. "You come here often?" He asked jokingly which didn't fail to make Hoseok give out a soft chuckle.

"Occasionally, how about you?" Hoseok teased back, nudging Yoongi's small bicep.

"Eh, just once in awhile." Yoongi lamely shrugged. "I have a question, and I know I really don't deserve your help with it, but I just need a second opinion."

"Oh? And, what is it?" Inquired Hoseok, hoping it was about and for him. He and Yoongi flirted a lot, nothing recent however.

"I think I have a crush on Jimin," Yoongi looked at Hoseok. "What would be something to get for Jimin? Like, how do I show him I like him?" He bit his lip. "I don't know what I should get for him. He deserves a lot more than just me."

"Jimin?" Hoseok stood there with shock, clearing his throat. "You would need to ask Taehyung or Jungkook. They're his best friends." He rolled his eyes. "How do you know if he likes you back?"

Yoongi shrugged. "He slept with me before and we cuddled in the same bed, I'd like to believe he likes me back."

Hoseok felt heartbroken hearing the teen he crushed on liked and even had sex with someone else. "But, what happens if he doesn't? How would YOU feel if it?"

Yoongi averted his gaze to the floor, pursing his lips. "I mean . . . Hurt, clearly. But I would understand why Jimin wouldn't like me. I would need to just move on from him then."

"Oh, and, what if you can't?" Hoseok pushed the question.

"Then I can't. There's nothing I can do about it." Yoongi hummed, seeing Jimin and Taehyung rushing back over.

'Then I cant'? I can't either. Hoseok thought to himself.
