It's been 3 days since their last 'argument'. Also, 3 days since Taehyung realized his feelings for Jeongguk. It's been a living hell for him. Everything Jeongguk did or said melted his heart. Taehyung was having an inner battle with himself over this.

It was a Thursday morning. Jeongguk was waiting for Taehyung to come downstairs for breakfast.

Taehyung made his way down exhausted. He was wearing a white crop topped hoodie, black mini skirt and high top shoes.

Jeongguk was staring. He was simply captivated how good the clothes looked on his best friend. He was checking him out from top to bottom. Especially, the way his ass looked in that skirt.

Jeongguk quickly snapped out of it and went over to Taehyung, holding him by the waist.

"Good morning, baby", Jeongguk greeted with a smile on his face.

This woke up Taehyung immediately. He was red.

Ever since that day, Jeongguk would start calling him baby as if it were the most normal thing ever.

"Are you okay, love? You're red. Are you sick?", Jeongguk asked worried.

"A-Ah. N-No, I'm f-fine", Taehyung said snuggling his head on Jeongguk's chest.

They stayed like that for a couple of minutes, enjoying each other's embrace.

Eventually, they ate breakfast and headed to school holding hands.

Taehyung was enjoying every minute of it even though he knew Jeongguk would let go the moment they got there to go flirt with other girls. Which for some unknown reason, didn't happen today. Well, he did let go but he didn't leave Taehyung's side at all.

Guys were staring at Taehyung. You could see the lust in their eyes which pissed off Jeongguk. Taehyung, being the ignorant child he is, just kept walking. He then stretched feeling the need to, resulting into exposing his stomach more than it already was.

Jeongguk with no second thought whatsoever held Taehyung's hand and dragged him to a secluded spot in the back of the school.

"J-Jeongguk? Why are we here? Shouldn't you be on your way to your girls?", Taehyung questioned.

"Sorry, not sorry. Horny guys were staring at you with pure lust. I was doing my job by protecting you", Jeongguk stated feeling proud.

Taehyung was a blushing mess at this point.

"T-Thank you. Y-You should g-go", Taehyung said stuttering.

"What? Baby, why?", Jeongguk asked unaware of the pet name slipping out of his mouth.

"Aren't you gonna g-go and f-flirt with your g-girls?", Taehyung asked.

"Fuck them. I don't care. You're more important", Jeongguk replied.

Taehyung rolled his eyes. Confidence forming up again and said, "Just go already. You always say I'm more important than those girls but also ditch me the next the second for them. It's fine. You need a girlfriend anyways but don't lie like that."

"Don't say that ever again! It hurts a lot, you know? Sure, I leave you for other girls at times but I really did mean every word I said. You're far more important than them. I wouldn't lie about that. You're special to me. You're my best friend", Jeongguk stated.

"Oh... I.. uh.. I'm sorry. I didn't mean to assume but thank you. Uh.. Let's go to class, alright?", Taehyung suggested.

Jeongguk nodded and replied with, "... yeah"

On their way to class, Jeongguk would give the people who were staring inappropriately at Taehyung, a death glare.

Girls were jealous like no tomorrow. They wanted to be in Taehyung's shoes. It was the opposite for most guys. They wanted to be in Jeongguk's shoes.

During the whole day so far, Jeongguk wouldn't dare leave Taehyung's side. Yoongi was getting really suspicious over Jeongguk. Jimin tried to explain to him that Jeongguk was being overprotective because they're best friends. Yoongi wasn't born yesterday. There was no way he'd buy that crap.

The two best friends entered the lunch room. Again, all eyes were staring at them. Well, most. By this time, Jeongguk was so irritated. So annoyed.

To make things even worse, Taehyung had bent down to tie his untied shoelaces outlining his ass very well. This of course, captured the attention of very horny males.

Jeongguk too, found himself staring but quickly snapped out of it and straightened Taehyung up.

"But I wasn't done with my-", Taehyung tried saying but was interrupted by Jeongguk's words, "I'll tie them for you."

Taehyung was turning red. He was getting dizzy. This was simply too much for him to handle.

In the background, we have NamJin, YoonMin, and Hobi confused by the sight they were seeing from their table.

"Hurry up guys!! Get over here already!!", Jimin yelled.

As soon as Jeongguk finished tying Taehyung's shoelaces, the two walked over to the table their friends were sitting at.

All of them got their food and talked while eating.

"So, guys. I was thinking if maybe we could go out this weekend?", Tae suggested.

"We're free!! Right, babe?", Jimin asked his boyfriend enthusiastically.

"No, we're expensive", Yoongi said in a serious expression.

Taehyung and Jimin couldn't stop laughing after hearing that. They had tears in their eyes.

Yoongi smiled at his boyfriend and Jimin returned the smile.

Taehyung looked at them with such admiration. He loved how cute they were with each other.

Jeongguk noticed the way his best friend was staring at the couple but didn't question it.

"Ahahaha. You're a joker guy", Jin said to Yoongi which made everyone in the table wheeze.

After cooling down the laughter, Namjoon said, "By the way Tae, I believe Jin and I are free as well. I don't think you should worry about Jeongguk. He'll

obviously come. That is, unless he has plans with his girlfriends."

The thought only shattered Taehyung's heart but was soon happy again when Jeongguk said, "Oh, shut up. You make me sound like a total fuck boy. Which I'm not! Of course, I'm coming. Tae is coming and was the one who suggested it so why wouldn't I go?"

"Maybe because you put your girls over us and especially over Taehyung", Hoseok stated.

Jeongguk quickly looked at Taehyung to see if it bothered him and he was right. Taehyung was looking at his food with a bored expression.

Jeongguk glared at Hoseok. He didn't know what to do to make Taehyung feel better so he pulled Taehyung on his lap shocking everyone in the table and a few others who were looking at them.

He securely wrapped his arms around Taehyung's waist pulling him closer. His chest hitting his best friend's back.

Jeongguk would be lying if he said he didn't like the way Taehyung's ass felt on his lap. Then again, it's normal, right? They're best friends, after all.

Taehyung then felt a pair of lips lightly touching his ear. Jeongguk whispered, "Don't let it get to you, baby. You're way more important to me than those girls. You know that so brighten up." Poor Taehyung. He looked just like a tomato.

"What are you two?", Yoongi asked out of nowhere.

"Pardon?", Jeongguk questioned taken slightly aback.

"What's your relationship with Tae?", Yoongi asked more clearly this time.

Jeongguk without a doubt responded with none other than...

"Isn't it obvious? We're just best friends. Nothing more. Nothing less"
