After Jin finally left from there with Jungkook, Taehyung scoffed a bit and finally looked towards Namjoon who was about to hide his under the desk

Taehyung crossed his arms, his sharp gaze piercing through Namjoon as he leaned against the desk, exuding a dangerous aura. His voice was calm, but there was an undertone that sent a shiver down Namjoon’s spine.

"So, you’re taking Jin hyung’s side, huh?" Taehyung said, his lips curling into a faint, unsettling smirk.

Namjoon gulped, attempting to maintain composure. "Taehyung, it's not about sides. Jin just wanted to protect Jungkook. You know how timid he is, and—"

"Timid?" Taehyung interrupted, his voice low but dripping with menace. "He's not timid. He just doesn’t understand me. And instead of helping him understand, you decided to side with Jin. Do you think I’d hurt Jungkook?"

Namjoon shook his head hastily. "No, no, of course not! But, Tae... you have a certain way of doing things that can be... intimidating."

Taehyung pushed himself off the desk and took a step closer to Namjoon, who instinctively tried to shrink back into his chair. "Intimidating?" Taehyung echoed, his eyes narrowing. "Do you think I enjoy scaring him? Do you think this is a joke to me?"

Namjoon raised his hands defensively. "No, Taehyung, I didn't mean it like that. I just... I just didn’t want things to escalate. Jin was upset, and—"

"And you thought it was easier to side with him than to stand by me," Taehyung finished for him, his tone icy. "I thought you knew me better than that, Namjoon."

“see Taehyung I don't know what's your matter with Jungkook but...” Namjoon gulped seeing Taehyung eyes piercing through his chest. Soon Taehyung singed and look other directly towards floor

“I...like Jungkook”

“WHAT!!!”

Namjoon scream loudly getting up to the desk making Taehyung unknowingly blush and growl silent in embarrassment. Yoongi giggle silently seeing Taehyung blushing

“you serious mean what you said?” Namjoon said still in a surprise tone while Taehyung just nod his head in a positive manner

Namjoon sighed, feeling trapped. "Taehyung, you need to talk to Jungkook. If you really care about him, you should explain yourself instead of—"

"Instead of what? Letting everyone assume I'm the bad guy?" Taehyung’s voice rose slightly, his frustration evident,the blush was all gone. He took a deep breath, trying to compose himself. "Fine. I'll talk to Jungkook. I care for him but he's just...scared of me."

Namjoon blinked, unsure if that was a threat or just Taehyung being dramatic. Either way, he nodded quickly, desperate to end the conversation. "Good. I think that’s the best way to handle this."

“btw you still didn't told me about that Jungkook’s hyung’s side one” Taehyung narrow his eyebrow. Namjoon gulped his throat and pointed his index finger together shyily.

Taehyung gave a disgusting look looking cringe.  “ok i understood, just tell me where you meet” Taehyung cringe at Namjoon behavior. “at Jin's cafe...he was looking so preety” Namjoon squim like a teenager girl

Yoongi gave Namjoon a judgement look but didn't bother to put his nose in between two cousin conversation. “I started to visit him everyday, then he started to talk to me and we become friends and to get more close to him I offers Jin to send Jungkook in my university, I'll provide scholarship and take care of him...at first he was denying but then I offer him that i won't ask him any fee...than he agreed!!” Namjoon having whole cheeks red sharing his story with Taehyung

Taehyung first gave a judgemental look than his own face turn into a sly smile with blush. “atleast one thing you did good more me” Taehyung whisper while Yoongi gave both a creepy judgemental look

Taehyung come out of his imagination and look towards Namjoon. “I'm going to making Jungkook mine, hope you don't add nose up to my business” Taehyung threatened. “as long as you don't bother Jin” Namjoon foolishly smiled

Taehyung shot him one last pointed look before turning on his heel and leaving the office with Yoongi following him back. his long strides echoing down the hall.

Namjoon exhaled deeply, slumping in his chair. "Why do I always end up in the middle of these things?" he muttered to himself, already dreading whatever fallout was coming next.

✨✨✨✨✨✨

Jin stormed into the house with Jungkook trailing behind, the door slamming shut with a loud thud that made Jungkook flinch. Without a word, Jin marched straight to the couch and sank into it, his anger evident in every sharp movement.

Jungkook nervously swallowed and cautiously approached Jin, calling out softly, “Hyung?” Jin let out a small sigh before snapping, “What does that Taehyung guy think of himself, huh?” His voice was laced with frustration.

"Who was he trying to show that attitude to, huh?" Jin’s eyes blazed with anger, their usual warmth replaced by a fiery intensity. He clenched his fists, his voice trembling with suppressed rage. "That arrogant, perverted idiot—how dare he bully my baby brother at university? And to top it off, he had the audacity to kiss him?" Jin muttered under his breath, his words laced with venom as he tried to contain the storm brewing within him.

"Such a perverted bastard," Jin growled, his voice dripping with fury. Jungkook swallowed hard, feeling a wave of unease wash over him. He knew all too well that Jin’s anger had reached its peak, and when Jin was this furious, nothing good ever followed.

“if Namjoon hadn't held me back,  I swear i would have ripped his head off” Jin exclaimed, punching the air in frustration, his movements were sharp and full of barely contain rage

Jungkook, standing a few steps away, gave Jin a skeptical look, raising his eyebrow in disbelief. As far as he remembered,  Jin had been practically trembling under the intensity of Taehyung piercing glaze just an hour ago. The image of Jin wavering resolve flashed in Jungkook’s mind, making it hard for him to take Jin's current bravado seriously.

“Uh-huh” Jungkook finally muttered under his breath, his expression laced with a mixture of doubt and amusement. Jin’s outburst continued, obviously to the silent judgement radiating from the younger brother

“Stay away from him, Kookie,” Jin warned sternly, his voice firm and authoritative. He leaned forward, his intense gaze locking onto Jungkook’s. “If that scary creep dares to bully you again, make sure to tell Namjoon or me immediately. Don’t keep it to yourself, understand?”

Jin’s tone softened slightly as he continued, “Namjoon is such a nice guy. I know he’ll do everything he can to help you, Koo.” As he spoke, a faint blush crept across Jin’s cheeks, his tough exterior momentarily giving way to a shy, dreamy expression as thoughts of Namjoon filled his mind.

Jungkook, watching this sudden shift, raised an eyebrow in silent disbelief. The blush blooming on Jin’s face seemed completely out of place given the serious conversation they were having, and Jungkook couldn’t help but give his older brother another judgmental look.

Still, he nodded obediently, his wide eyes and slight pout making him look like a child being lectured. “Okay, hyung,” he murmured quietly, though his mind was racing with thoughts about Jin’s peculiar behavior. Despite the situation, he couldn’t deny that his brother’s sudden blush had thrown him off. Yet, to keep Jin’s temper at bay, Jungkook decided to simply play along, nodding his head like a compliant little brother.

“little did Jungkook doesn't know that now he's in cage of Taehyung’s love”
