Before the worst (Jinkook) (Taejin)

O

The seniors, whose graduation is next month, were especially busy after the prom. Jin usually had to wait for Taehyung to finish basketball practice before they went home after school. Particularly between Jungkook and Taehyung, the three friends' friendship dynamics have completely deteriorated. Following their candid conversation with Jungkook, Seokjin displayed a desire for a civil relationship with him. Even though they were never closer again, he couldn't help but worry about Jungkook, especially after hearing about his constant arguments with his girlfriend.

One day, after school.

"Hey there! Guess what? Jinnie Baby, Yoongi has invited us to celebrate his and Jisoo's 1st month anniversary with some delicious samyeopsal! And the best part? Hyungsik and Rosie will be joining us too! Can you believe it? It feels like just yesterday when we partnered with them on Jisoo's birthday, and now they're officially a month into their relationship, with Hyungsik already dating Rose! Don't worry, Jungkook and his girlfriend won't be joining us this time, as they have a drama session going on again. But you know what? I saw Jennie crying and talking to Jungkook outside our locker earlier. I'm not sure what's going on between them, but let's focus on the positive - our triple date!"

After saying the words, Jinnie noticed that he was blushing intensely.

Oops, did I say triple date? I meant a group date! Either way, I'm super excited about it!

Jin's heart was torn between his love for Jungkook and the newfound feelings he was developing for Taehyung. He couldn't believe he was falling for his other best friend, but as he started seeing Taehyung in a new light, he couldn't help but acknowledge the attraction. And he wasn't oblivious to the way Taehyung looked at him, with a longing that was hard to miss. But Jin was too blinded by his love for Jungkook to give it much thought. Little did he know, his heart was about to take an unexpected turn.
