CHAPTER 7
A Puzzle

| third person point of view.

'I'm sorry, Jungkook.' Taehyung thought as he stared deeply into Jimin's eyes, giving him a sheepish look.

"The truth is... I have a boyfriend, and you probably know him," Taehyung knew their deal was 'never tell a soul', but he can't help but to tell Jimin the truth. "His name is Jungkook and he's in our class."

Even if Jungkook decides to cheat on Taehyung on more than ten girls at once, with him included on the list, he can't push himself to do the same.

"Wow, I didn't know your standards were that high!" Jimin let off a satisfied laugh, though that only served his cover, for he was hurting a bit at what the other just said. "Well from my point of view, Jungkook is good looking and famous, no wonder people like him. I have no battle here." he joked.

Taehyung made  weird face as he stared at the other laughing and piling up the cards they used.

"You don't believe me, do you?"

Jimin rubbed the back of his neck and smiled. "Don't worry, having a crush on someone you idolize is not bad to have. If your boyfriend is Jungkook, then mine is Taeyang or Chris Brown."

Taehyung laughed it off, just to humor the other. Though it made him think that even if people knew or had clue about Jungkook and his relationship, of course, nobody would believe it immediately like that. A popular, handsome guy dating another guy that is weird and is a nobody is impossible.

"I'll turn off the lights, okay? You should rest up, we still have classes tomorrow morning," Jimin reminded as he flicked the light switch off. "... you're probably not interested, that's why you ignored my slight confession." he muttered.

"What was that?" Taehyung asked innocently, he didn't quite catch up with what the other added.

"Hmm, nothing. Good night, Taehyung."

The next morning, Taehyung woke up with the smell of soap on surrounding their room.

He yawned and stretched his arms out. Rubbing his eyes tiredly, he saw his roommate, Jimin, dressed up in casual clothes and is drying his hair on his own bed.

"Morning!" the older cheerfully greeted. "Take a shower too. If we go down now and order breakfast, we would have a lot more food to choose from because around 8:00 am, some meals get sold out pretty quick, trust me."

"Good morning..." Taehyung greeted back with another yawn. He then grabbed his towel and bathroom necessities to clean himself up.

Twenty minutes later, the two were both ready to go downstairs to order. They were already at  the middle of the hallway approaching the elevator, but then Taehyung suddenly remembered what he said last night to the other boy.

Even if the older didn't believe, after revealing the truth, he can't help but to feel worried. He felt guilty. Taehyung dreamed of Jungkook all night, he can't help but to predict what his boyfriend's reactions would be after hearing that he broke their rule.

"Jiminie," he called out, catching the other's attention. "You order food for me, I'll have what you're having. I'm going to check something for a minute."
