taehyung was walking back to his gang building in a hurry. he didn't have anything important to do, he just wanted to get some rest.
he wondered if today would be a good day to have a conversation with yoongi about... everything. on his way here, taehyung realized that if he wanted to feel somewhat better, he had to start doing things.

they were caught by a simple glance – the two guys from the malgeun pi gang. taehyung stopped, seeing the two gradually walk down the outdoor stairs. taehyung, who wanted to enter using the back door to not stumble upon minseok, watched them from behind the tall western red cedar trees planted around the perimeter.
his attention immediately fell upon park jimin and his carefully bandaged over shoulder. tae wondered why he ran away and what he wanted to tell him earlier when they met.
taehyung was about to leave, but before he could, he heard a phone ring.

"hello?" jimin answered the call. "oh, hi jungkookie. hoseok and I just got out of the geomeun's gang building... yeah... alright, see you. we'll be there soon."

"what did he say?" hoseok asked.

"he wanted us to go to the bar-club nearby." jimin replied. "he said he's not far from us."

taehyung listened to the conversation and rubbed his ears. was he starting to hear things or did jimin just talk to jungkook on the phone?
maybe it's somebody with the same name...? or not.
taehyung watched the two walk further and further away, but after thinking for a little while decided to follow them. it wouldn't hurt to just double check.

as taehyung followed the two, he didn't know what he was expecting to see. jungkook whom he killed? it made no sense. taehyung probably misheard the name.

after reaching some alleyway, hoseok and jimin waved at somebody from a distance. taehyung found a sharp turn and hid behind one of the walls, peeking carefully.
he watched as the two stopped and greeted a male who was wearing all black. jimin gave the man a hug, but the other didn't seem to enjoy it as much. from the bad angle taehyung chose, hoseok and jimin covered the mysterious man and all taehyung could see were his clothes and what looked like red hair ends.

"where were you?"
taehyung heard parts of their conversation.

"...the club..."

"are you crazy?... caught?"

"relax... strange girl... brown long hair."

strange girl? brown long hair? taehyung thought to himself.
are they talking about the creepy girl who killed janesser? what do they know?
taehyung peeked out from the wall even more, trying to get closer in hopes of hearing more of the conversation.

taehyung looked up and for a moment, he felt like everything happened in slow motion. jimin crouched down to tie his shoe laces, and in that exact moment taehyung's eyes fell upon... jungkook.
jungkook, noticing the elder, smirked, keeping his dark eyes locked on taehyung's. the short amount of time was enough for jungkook to see the fear written all over taehyung's face, he went pale, not being able to look away from the eyes he hasn't seen for months.

jimin came back up, blocking the view, but it was enough to leave taehyung breathless and intimidated. he felt himself slide down the wall until he hit the cold ground.
am I... hallucinating? taehyung felt his eyes fill up with tears, hands shaking, breaths quickening.
he peeked out again, but this time, nobody was there.

taehyung ran. he ran as fast as he possibly could back to his house, not caring how weird he probably looked to others.
he entered his house, completely out of breath. as soon as he got in, he closed the door and rushed to the windows, closing all curtains. he didn't bother to turn on the light, he didn't want to. in a way, he felt more comfortable in the dark, no matter how much it started scaring him recently.
he scratched his own hands from the anxiety that seemed to run through his entire body.
there's no way I just saw jungkook.

whenever he closed his eyes, he was reminded of the eye contact that just happened. it sent shivers down taehyung's spine. what was going on? jungkook was dead... wasn't he?

"I'm going crazy, I'm going crazy." taehyung muttered to himself as he went over to the kitchen to pour himself a glass of water. "calm down, taehyung."

as he sipped on the water, a notification came in. taehyung took his phone out of his back pocket and immediately rolled his eyes before even reading the message. it was from minseok.
tae apathetically opened the message, but as soon as he read it, dropped the glass with water onto the floor, feeling it shatter next to his feet.

minseok
I found your lovers grave
here's the address, whore
[user minseok shared a location]

"ahhh.... hobi..." jimin moaned arching his back on the bed, gripping onto the sheets as hoseok left a trial of hickeys on his neck and chest.
his long slender fingers traced jimin's waistline and moved down towards his thighs, gripping onto them through the fabric of his black jeans.

"first thing you have to do when you move into a new house is fuck your lover on the brand new bed." hoseok whispered with a breathy chuckle.

"where did you hear that?" jimin giggled.

"made it up." he leaned in, closing the gap between their lips. jimin's hands went through hoseok's hair, tugging onto it softly. hoseok grunted and bit jimin's lower lip, causing the younger to let out a quiet gasp, opening his mouth. hoseok took the chance, letting his tongue in as his hands pulled jimin up by his ass, making jimin wrap his legs around the elder's torso.

"ouch!" jimin let his body fall back onto the bed as his hand flew over to his wounded shoulder, gripping it slightly.

"baby, are you alright? your shoulder is still bothering you?" hoseok sat up on the younger's thighs, stroking his arm tenderly.

"I don't know why the painkillers aren't working." jimin closed his eyes, enduring the pain. "sorry, I don't think I'm up for this today..."

"jimin, you don't have to be sorry for it." hoseok smiled, picking jimin up and settling him down in between his own thighs.
"your health matters to me the most. let's watch a movie instead. or maybe you want to rest?"

"hobi..." jimin bit his lip looking at the obvious problem in hoseok's pants. "at least let me help you get rid of this..."

"jimin you're not obligated to do so." hoseok grabbed jimin's hands. "I want you to stop thinking of yourself as my sex slave."

"I never did..."

"don't lie." hoseok exhaled. "sometimes you act like I'm forcing you to have sex with me and other times you pretend to be in the mood... that's not how a relationship works."

"yeah, but– hold on." jimin's eyes widened. "a relationship?"

"right..." hoseok chuckled and looked down, being too shy to look into jimin's eyes. "I uh... that day, you told me something... well, I was sleeping but I actually wasn't and I heard you say it—"

"oh god." jimin bit his lip nervously. "that's so embarrassing..."

"it's not!" hoseok said. "you said that hopefully one day you'll get the courage to ask me what we are... and honestly out of us two, I'm the coward. I should've just told you the truth in the very beginning."

"but–"

"you see, jimin, the place we're in... having any kind of relationship while being a part of a gang is not only difficult, but also dangerous." hoseok explained. "it's not something that should exist, and I personally was never fond of relationships as such. I was furious when I heard about taehyung and jungkook even though their situation is different."

"ugh, I get it." jimin rolled his eyes, wriggling out of hoseok's grip and standing up. "I know what we're doing wasn't going to go anywhere. I know it's against some rules and shit. but you could've told me about it in the very beginning–"

"jimin, I wasn't done." hoseok stood up as well. "yes, I was never fond of such relationships, but you... you're different. there is just something about you that I can't explain using words. your existence is captivating, I've been with you for so long but I feel like there's so much more to explore. you're fascinating, you fascinate me no matter what you do."

"are you serious?" jimin asked, raising his eyebrows.

"I apologize for not telling you about how I truly feel about you earlier. I was scared." hoseok chuckled. "even now, I don't know what to do with myself... with us."

"let's just be ourselves." jimin smiled. "and see where it takes us."

"so..."

"so?"

"are we dating now?" he asked.

"I guess we are." jimin smiled sincerely and pulled hoseok into his embrace, connecting their lips afterwards. the kiss felt completely different from all the ones before. there was so much more sweetness and softness in it, a completely new unknown feeling.
jimin couldn't express his happiness. the moment he has been waiting for so long finally happened... and maybe it was even worth the wait.

"okay, but what are we going to do about min yoongi?" hoseok pulled their lips apart.

"we are going to do what we do best."
