fuckin’ around the christmas tree | jjk & kth
anyway, twitter saw it first, but here’s what i’m working on that i’ll publish closer to christmas. i probably won’t do an official teaser for this? so i’ll leave you with a snippet instead (~500 words) under the cut.
Lovemaze Part 1
"Again?? This the third time in a month! Tae... this is not happening... We are THE TERRIFIC TRIO! We CAN NOT do our mandetory meetings by just the two of us. He can't do this to us."
"But he just did... and I am sure it's because of his 'Yoongi Hyung'! We are no longer the terrific trio Kook-ah, now it's just us... the TERRIBLE TWO!"
"I just can't believe he cancelled again. We had planned so much. I know adulting is hard, and we both are going through the same. But we haven't strayed away from our bond. Then why Chim is?"
"May be he doesn't need us anymore.... He has his almighty Yoongi Hyung now... " Tae uttered in a low whisper.
"Hey, and you have me. Don't worry Taetae, I will never leave your side! I would never leave my bestie and run behind some new friend I made at work, like Chim did. Okay?" Kook said, pulling his upset friend in a warm embrace.
"Okay Kookie! I trust you! Just wish, Chim shouldn't have gone too..." Tae said with a sad sigh.
"I know hyung, I know..."
☘☘☘
"Taekookie! Please forgive your Chim! I got you both food as my apology for being late!"
"Late? You were 3 weeks late?" Kook asked sarcastically.
"But we meet everyday at home." Chim defended.
"Yeah, just to wish each other good night and good morning? You are never home!" It was Tae this time.
"The work has been eating up my whole time, you are right. But you know, it's not like I don't want to spend time with you, just we all are new to this job and...."
"Don't blame everything on the job Chim. We work in the same office, you know. We both know how the work is. But we also know that's not the reason you missed our weekend meets, right?" Kook asked in an accusing tone, to which Tae supported with a nod.
Giving them a sheepish look, Jimin tried explaining.
"I know, but you know Yoongi hyung ...."
"Yeah, Yoongi hyung! Exactly that's the reason. He has been hijacking you all the time..." Kook yelled.
"Kookie, it's not like that. The first weekend he offered to teach me how the software worked. Then the next week he was shifting to a new place, so I offered him help..as a token of gratitude. And today he took me out for a lunch as a token of thanks for helping him shift... I couldn't say no! He is our supervisor, you know..."
"Yes, he is OUR supervisor too. But he didn't offer us any help, nor took any from us and he definitely didn't take any of us out for a lunch, right?" Tae wondered out loud, frustrated.
"Tae, what are you guys on about?"
Jimin asked, confused.
"He is jealous of us and he is trying to steal you from us. There, I said it!" Kook yelled, yet again.
"WHAT?" Jimin was shocked!
☘☘☘
"WHAT?" Jimin was shocked, to say the least.
"You think that Yoongi hyung wants me to be his 'best friend', because he is jealous of both of YOU? Really Taekookie? Oh my god! You guys are just unbelievable!" He laughed like crazy, pointing fingers towards his best friends.
"What's so funny huh? You think that your mighty Yoongi hyung won't be jealous of US, mere humans? Did he already steal the spot from both of us? Of being your bestie, of me being your soulmate?" Tae cried out loud!
"Tae, that's not what..."
"Oh shut up Chim... Look what you did, you made Tete cry. Leave it Tae, I don't think he needs us anymore. Let him and his hyung be best friends. We have each other, don't we? Let's go bear, let's get your nose clean of that snot. Can 'his hyung' do that for him when he will cry? Right! He won't! Let's go now, let this moron be. We will see about him in the morning." Kook said animatedly, dragging a crying Tae to their shared room.
After the two walk off, Jimin sits there bewildered.
"Oh my god! These two! When will these two get that me and Yoon are not trying to be 'friends'..." He sighs deeply, catching his thoughts he decides,
'I'll have to have THE talk with them! It's gonna be a long day tomorrow!'
☘☘☘
Next day, the Sunday morning arrived in the trio's shared apartment rather ceremoniously. The upset duo was woken up by their friend with a jump in their bed, lot of apologetic cuddles and their favourite breakfast in bed. It seemed to have soothen up the duo's anger, but…But there was still a lot of tension hanging in the air. Jimin knew he better explain his situation to the other two as they still might not understand why Jimin was getting distracted so much. So while in their mandatory Sundays stroll he ushered the duo to sit with him on A park bench.
"Guys, I wanted to say something...."
"If you are going to say sorry and repeat the same thing again then leave it hyung. Me and Tae have decided to give you, your space." Kook stated dryly.
"Kook-ah, let's not make him feel bad." Tae interjected.
Kook gave him a pointed look, but calmed down instantly. He would never go against of his besties. Especially Tae! Kook's life moto has always been, 'if Tae says it, it has to be done!'
"Thank you guys! I know it's must be difficult for you both to be so understanding after everything, but I really appreciate it." Jimin paused to take a deep breath but continued none the less.
"You guys said yesterday that I spent a lot of time with Yoongi hyung and I agree I did. I wanted to spend that time. In fact I need it. But it's not to ignore you both or to bring him in as a substitute friend. The thing is, I really like him you know. And I think he likes me too…"
"Isn't that exactly what I said? You both definitely likes each other much more than any of us, as shamelessly said. So now it is clear that you both want to be exclusive to each other!" Kook spitted.
"Kook, you sound as if they are boyfriends!"
Both Kook and Chim looked at him angrily. Kook was pouting as he never liked it when Tae made fun of him in front of anyone; and Chim, well he had different reasons.
"Hey, I am just joking. No need to give me me scary looks." Tae defended himself, his hands in the air.
"But that's exactly how it is Tae..." Jimin managed to whisper.
"See, he is not even denying that he only wants his Yoongi hyung to be his best friend." Kook eagerly pointed out and walked away, leaving the other two dumbfounded.
"Kook-ah, wait...." Tae's calls went unanswered. So he shifted his attention to his platonic soulmate,
"He will be back in 5 minutes Jimin-ah. You know how he is. But why would you say that? Is it really like you only want Yoongi hyung in your life now?" Tae asked, shakily.
"Oh my god! Why are you two so dense? When I said I like Yoongi hyung, I really meant it like a boyfriend.... lover.... and he likes me the same way, I think..."
"What???"
C.W. Coming out of the closet, shocked reaction, stereotypes, prejudices.
(The characters are humans, please treat them with empathy....)
"You are joking right Chimi? You shouldn't make such jokes, it's insensitive, you know?" Tae informed.
"No, you are the one who is being insensitive by calling it a joke while I am trying to explicitly tell you that I like that man, like a lot!" Jimin stated, crossing his arms.
"But... How? When? Why didn't you tell me before?" Tae asked.
"I did, I did tell you. I told you I amnot interested in girls." Jimin sounded wounded.
"Oh, that you did! But I thought it's something common in us three. Like, me and Kook are also not interested in anyone.
It's only just casual hook ups, that too very rarely. I thought it was just you telling me you are also the same. HOW WOULD I KNOW YOU WERE COMING OUT TO ME? OH MY GOD! YOU ARE DUMB!"
"I am dumb? If anything, you both are dumb..." Jimin yelled back.
'For not realising why you are not interested in anyone else....' He muttered it in his mind.
"What?"
"Nothing, what I mean is I clearly told you, and it's not rocket science, you know?" He said, tiredly.
It made Tae pout.
"Jimin-ah, Taetae is sorry for being ignorant. I am sorry that you had to keep it bottled up for I don't know how long. I'll have a talk with Jungkookie and make him understand. Now come here and let your Taetae hug away the sadness...." Tae pulled the him in A warm embrace. Which jimin reciprocated with equal warmth.
"Nothing would change, right? You both won't think that I am ignoring you again, right? I want him to like me. I really like him, Tae. I never felt this way with anyone." Jimin says nuzzling into the other's shoulder.
"Of course he would like you, what is there not to like in our pretty Jiminie? But are you sure he swings that way? I mean you don't wanna waste your time on him if he is not into men, right?" Tae muttered, still uncertain.
"Haha, very funny. Of course he is into men. My Gaydar is never wrong. I know a fruitino, when I see them. But some are just too oblivious for their own good..." Jimin whispered the last part under his breath.
"What did you say just now? I couldn't hear the last part" Tae asked pulling away from the hug. Jimin chuckled and said,
"Oh, nothing. I said let's find Kookie. He must be sulking somewhere. And please talk to him, yeah? Make him understand he has nothing to feel insecure about. In fact sometimes I feel left out when you guys are having your telepathic conversations." He couldn't help but tease.
Tae looked at him with fake hurt, "Shut up. You know both me and Jungkookie love you the same way we love each other. Don't try to put us in the spot."
It made Jimin laugh and Tae just rolled his eyes at that. 'What a fool! You cannot love me the same way you love 'your Jungkookie', nor can he, you idiot!' Jimin thought. As they both stood up and started walking in search of a sulking baby dino!
☘☘☘
"He what???? And you bought that? Really hyungie? For all you know, he might just be lying to keep us in dark. So we don't doubt him, and he can spend more time with his Yoongi hyung without us pestering him about it. You are so innocent hyung!" Kook said, cupping Tae's cheeks.
The other was just so accustomed to the way the youngest displayed his affection physically, he acted unfazed. Even though his insides were all warm and mushy.
"Kookie, don't think worst about Jimin-ah. I know you are hurt, I am too. But let's not jump to conclusions and think he lied to save his ass."
"Hyungie baby, I am more hurt for you. I can easily let his ignorance slide, because I still have you at the end of the say. But you cried because of him. And you know how I feel about you crying, right?"
"I know Jungkookie, I know. Come now, let hyung cuddle you while we talk." Tae dragged the other to there shared bed, knowing really well how he can calm Kook down. And it worked. The raven head easy dropped himself down in his arms, and wrapped his whole form around the elder.
Tae couldn't help but sigh contendly.
"I love when we cuddle. You are so cuddly hyungie." Kook said against the skin of the brunette's neck, sending tingles to the other's body, unconsciously.
"Me to my baby star candy. You are so warm. Now tell me what do you suggest we do? I don't wanna be a bad friend to him if he is actually telling the truth. It's hard to come out to someone, you know. I can imagine the nervous and panic. I don't want us to leave him alone in the vulnerable times, If he is actually telling the truth. We need to support him no matter what."
"Hyung! You are so loving. I love you so much for this. And you always do thr right thing, how? Hmmm, we will think of a way to know the truth without hurting him. I promise. Let's just go to sleep now. We have to go and see that Min Yoongi being his irritatingly over confident self around Jimin hyung. Agh... I just hate that man. Promise me you will stay with me the whole day, and cuddle once we are back from work. It helps me so much, you know!"
"Oh my poor Jungkookie! Hyung will stay by your side tomorrow and give you all the hugs you need. Don't worry. And don't pay attention to that old grandpa, just focus on hyung, okay?" Tae said cradling the other's head closer, as they both drifted off to sleep.
☘☘☘
The next day all of them acted like nothing happened, which made Jimin exhale with relief. But what he didn't know, that Jungkook was still very sceptical of his explaination. So he went on with his day more freely and decided he can definitely share his lunch break with Yoongi as his friends now know how he feels about him. Jungkook was more than happy to hear this because he too wanted to share his lunch break with Tae alone. Not for the same reason as Jimin though.
His smart (read as evil) brain was plotting a 'brilliant' plan to make Jimin himself admit that he was lying about his feelings for Yoongi (which Kook was very sure that he was lying about) because again he didn't want to dishonour his Taehyungie's wish of being a supportive friend. So he smilingly sent Jimin away for the lunch and rushed Taehyung's cubicle with a takeaway in his hands. He still had 45 minutes left to explain his thoughts to Tae; which indeed were more than enough as they shared a great telepathy! 《A.n. Ahem!》
"Taetae, I bring you food and a brilliant plan!" He chided, showing whole of his denture.
"Ah, Kook-ah you are here! Where is Jimin-ah though?" Tae peered.
"Oh I sent him with Yoongi hyung for lunch." Kook explained.
"Jungkookie! I am so proud of you! You are such a great Friend for supporting Jimin-ah like this. If at all they work out and get married, I'll tell Chim to make you his best man instead of me. You took it so well!" Taehyung said, getting all emotional. But it made Jungkook feel small, as he did not actually do it to support Jimin. Also he felt immense pride for Tae's selflessness. Oh, how he loved this guy! (Platonically of course 😉)
So in order to not breaking Taehyung's heart he didn't correct him. Instead he said,
"Ah hyung, you are praising me for no reason. "Also I wanted to spend some alone time with you, to talk and clear my head. Would you do that for your Kookie?" Kook continued pouting.
"Oh, what's bothering my Kook-ah bear? Is someone troubling you?
You can tell hyung!" Tae asked, genuinely concerned. Kook's heart melted at the love dripping from the elder's eyes. He promised himself the millionth time now that he will do everything in his capacity to protect and cherish this gem of a person. He pushed those thoughts at the back of his mind for time being and focused on the Topic at hand. He really wanted to know if Jimin was actually telling the truth. Don't get him wrong. Kook has always been protective and possessive over both of his hyungs. It was still better that, it was Jimin in question. Kook at least spared Yoongi a chance. But God forbid, if it was Tae who started giving someone else his attention, Kook would have made that person's life living hell. Even when it was Jimin who would get a bit extra attention from Tae on special occasions, he would still earn mean comments and deáth glares from the youngest.
Jungkook would deny it with all his might, but deep down he always knew what he had for Tae was slightly different from the love he had for Jimin or any of his other friends. He respected him more than he respected anyone else other than his own parents. There was a deep adoration and affection, much more than he ever felt for anyone. It was almost like he needed Tae to function, even for his day to day activities. His day started and ended with Tae. And if you watch closely, it was almost identical to the way Tae felt for him.
"What are you thinking bun? What's bothering you? Come on, tell hyung." Tae's insistent questions brought Kook out of his thoughts.
"It's about Jimin hyung Tae. That's what bothering me..." Kook finally spoke. But the colour from Tae's face paled unconsciously. "Why are you still thinking about it bun? Aren't you happy that he found someone that makes him happy? I mean yeah, we all had decided to stay single and always stick together but that was high-school bub. You cannot hold it against him that he did not follow it through. We all grew up and he felt he needed someone other than both of us. We cannot hold him under fire for that. Or is it something else? Are in love with him or something???" Tae was terrified with this thought, even more than he would have anticipated.
"What? Pfft? In love with whom? Jimin-ssi? Who? Me? Hyung, did you hit your head somewhere? That's like so... eww... he is like my brother... If you had said that 'I was in love with you', that would have made more sense. Because if I ever had a boyfriend, they would have been someone like you. Like drop dead gorgeous and one hell of a sexy brain. Not someone who I look at as a brother. Why would you even think like that?" Kook asked with a scowl on his face.
"Because you wouldn't let the topic go. And by the way, Jimin-ah is gorgeous too and smart even. Then why not?" Tae retorted.
"Yeah he is all that but didn't you hear the last part? I look at him and my mind shouts, "BRO"! He is not my type hyungie."
"And I am?" Tae raised his brows.
"Fck yeah! You are the most handsome man in the world." Kook said matter of factly.
"Shut up, you are cheesy. I am sure Yoongi hyung will disagree with your claims." Tae joked.
"Like I would care. And well his choices just suck."
Tae was blushing furiously for no good reason.
"Shut up you sap. And tell me what you wanted to say." He asked.
"Oh yeah. I still am not sure if Jimin hyung is telling us the truth. And I don't like to be deceived like this. I hate lies. So I have a plan to make him confess if he is lying. I just need your approval and help To execute it. Say, will you help me hyung?" Kook asked.
"Help you how?"
"By pretending to be my boyfriend!"

"To my celestial love,
I just wanted you to know that if ever time takes us apart, I will still choose you, I don't see it the other way."
_Captain Jeon , Since 1894
My Savior -Vkook
The sun had just set and Jungkook was checking the last papers of the day. Signed the last sheet with a sigh he leaned back in his chair, ran a hand through his thick black hair and turned to look out the huge window that covered the wall of his office. He watched the moon make its way in the sky, accompanied by the stars that one by one, shy, appeared on the celestial vault. When was the last time he had stopped to look at the sky? When was the last time he'd had the warmth of another person next to him? So long that even he didn't remember. Running a hand over his tired face, he turned to his desk just in time to see Namjoon enter his office.
-I brought you a coffee, I thought you needed it- the blond said, showing the cup he was holding.
-Thank you- replied the dark haired man taking it.
-Nothing to report?- He then asked taking a sip of coffee.
-Everything regular, apart from a man who refuses to pay but is the classic suburban rat, I'll send someone to fix the situation- Namjoon replied leaning on the edge of the desk.
- I'll take care of it, it's a nice evening and I really want to have some fun- said Jungkook, rising from his chair with a grin. Then he took his jacket and walked to the door.
-As you want, Boss- replied the major following him.
They arrived in the suburbs in less than twenty minutes. They got out of the car and headed for a complex of old houses that looked like they were about to fall apart. Namjoon knocked on the door and after a few seconds it opened to reveal a man in his fifties with wrinkled clothes and who smelled of alcohol.
-Mr. Kim? - asked the blond, taking a look inside the house. Bottles of beer and cigarette butts scattered everywhere, just a rat from the suburbs.
-Who the fuck are you? - the latter replied drinking from the bottle he held in his hand.
-We're here for the payment- Namjoon said, masking the disgust in his voice.
-I already told those fucking loan sharks that I would pay next week - the man replied leaning against the door jamb.
-Time ran out three weeks ago- the blond replied with a serious tone and then took a look at Jungkook who until then had kept out of sight of the man.
-Listen, I don't have the money, give me another week ... - the man began but was interrupted by Jungkook.
-You always say the same things, "now I don't have them", "I'll pay you in a week", "give me more time" -he sighed and then looked him in the eye-wouldn't it be easier to pay when asked?
-M-Mr. Jeon ... I didn't recognize you! Please, come in! - Said the man, fear visible in his eyes.
They entered the house and as Mr. Kim led them to what must have been the kitchen a toy car collided with Jungkook's foot. The latter knelt to pick it up and when he looked up he saw a child, probably about three years old, with chocolate-colored hair falling into a bangs that covered his big dark eyes. The little boy was wearing a faded red T-shirt one size far too large and jeans that had certainly seen better times.
-Is this yours? - the dark-haired man asked the shy boy who nodded playing with the hem of his shirt.
-Is he your son? - He then asked the old man and getting up he turned towards the latter, turning the car over in his hands.
-He's my nephew- he answered and started to go to the child but Jungkook raised his hand and ordered him to stop. Then he turned to the little one who backed away frightened and with tears in his eyes.
-Where is your mother? - he asked in a softer tone and the child with a trembling hand pointed out the corridor.
-Mr. Jeon, you must not waste time with this brat ..- the man began but Jungkook gave him a look that made him lose his voice. Then the dark-haired man turned back to the child. He knelt in front of him and handing him the toy car, he asked:
- Would you take me to your mother? - the little existent took the toy in his hands and nodded, then without deigning Jungkook another look he walked down the corridor.
Jungkook followed the child until he reached the last door of the corridor. He opened it and at first he only saw the dark, then he noticed it. Leaning against the wall, illuminated by the clear moon rays was the most beautiful creature he had ever seen. A boy with delicate features, framed by a mass of dark hair that fell in soft curls. His face was turned towards the only window in the room, he had his eyes closed and his lashes were so long that they cast shadows on his pale cheeks. His lips full and slightly parted which he bet was very soft. He wore only what appeared to be a sweater that reached mid-thigh. With his eyes he followed the sweet features of his body, lingering on his thin waist and then reaching the long and delicious legs. He then noticed that he had a chain on his ankle, the skin around it was red and swollen.
-Appa- the call of the child brought him back to reality and he saw the little one running towards the boy. The latter opened his eyes and as soon as he saw the baby he took him and hugged him.
-Junie- he whispered, his voice broken by the tears running down his face.
-Who are you? - he then asked, looking at Jungkook and holding the child closer to him -if you are here for that, I only ask you not in front of my son ...- he added stroking the hair of the little boy who in the meantime had hidden her face in the hollow of her father's neck.
-Is that child your son? - the dark-haired man asked and the boy nodded.
-Where is the mother?
The boy sighed and looking into his eyes said:
-I am his mother- at that revelation Jungkook widened his eyes. So the boy was a Carrier, only 0.1% of the male population was able to get pregnant.
-What's your name pretty? - Jungkook then asked more and more fascinated.
- Taehyung, and this is my son Junsoo- replied the boy intimidated by the aura of the mysterious man in front of him. Jungkook grinned and kneeling in front of him said:
-Well Taehyung, I am Jeon Jungkook and I am your savior- then he got up and called Namjoon who as soon as he entered the room was surprised to see a fragile boy holding the child from before.
-Namjoon, call my men, there's some work to do- he said to him and the blond nodded, then went back to Taehyung.
-What will happen now? - asked the latter frightened. He had grown paler, his hair clung to his sweaty forehead and his body was trembling constantly. Seeing him in that state Jungkook knelt in front of him. He brought a hand to his forehead and felt it was hot.
-Now I'll take you and your son to safety- replied the dark-haired man putting his hand on his cheek and stroking it gently with his thumb. Taehyung instinctively let himself go to that sweet gesture that strangely made him feel safe and without realizing it everything around him became dark.

It had been a while that I had it in mind and I decided to publish it. If it seems interesting I could continue it😁
