Tied Like Puppets [ TaeJinKook ]

Chapter 4

Taeyeon looked so pretty in blue, and Hyoyeon looked very sexy in that yellow dress, and there were just so many girls to look at, but Seokjin just kept on looking at Taehyung and Jungkook. They were both leaning against the wall somewhere in the kitchen. Taehyung had a drink and a hand on Jungkook's hip while Jungkook had a pepsi and a blush on his cheeks. Seokjin watched them hard, and he probably looked very creepy, standing in the middle of the living room and just staring past all those people like that, but he wasn't very concerned. He was more concerned- curious- about what Taehyung could be saying to Jungkook to have the younger boy blushing like that.

"Jin?" a pretty voice said. Seokjin almost jumped, but he didn't, and he was greeted by Yoona when he turned around. She was wearing a blue similar to Taeyeon's, only a little brighter, and her dress was a little bit shorter- just above her knees. Seokjin tried not to focus on her legs- how rude- and looked up at her face. Her eyes were filled with concern. "You look lonely here, are you okay? Did you want a drink or something?"

"Oh, no, sorry, I-" Seokjin cleared his throat. "I actually just came here with Jungkook and Taehyung. They're our youngest, you know, so I came to watch out for them, I guess. Make sure they don't get into too much trouble."

"Ah," Yoona nodded in understanding. "Okay, just don't get too bored, yeah? Me and Hyoyeon and probably Sooyoung will be out by the pool if the three of you wanted to join us."

"Okay. Thank you, noona." Seokjin said. He watched Yoona walk away. He thought about how he could be dating her, or someone like her- so nice and pretty, but his thoughts travelled back to Jungkook and Taehyung and how handsome they always looked and how nice they were and he was just really, really confused because he swore, like two months ago, he wasn't even focused on relationships and now he was thinking about pretty girls like his noonas and nice boys like his band-mates and it was all to confusing and Seokjin really just wanted to-

Swim. That's what he wanted to do. He wanted to go out to the pool and join Yoona and Hyoyeon and Sooyoung and whoever else would be there. He wanted to talk to people who weren't his own band-mates and have a good time. He wanted to get his mind off of the madness that was his emotional feeling towards whoever the fuck he liked. But he didn't exactly have any swim trunks with him, and it would be a little inappropriate, he thought, to show up in his underwear.

Seokjin glanced back into the kitchen. Taehyung and Jungkook were still there, only the two of them were a little closer than they'd been about ten- or maybe twenty- minutes ago and Jungkook's soda was on the counter and his hands were on Taehyung's shoulders and Taehyung was kissing his neck and- soon, Seokjin wasn't going to have to watch them anymore.

Seokjin finally moved from his lonely place in the middle of the living room and began walking around the house. He wanted to find Taeyeon or maybe Yoona again, maybe just to talk, start up a conversation, ask if they had any spare swim trunks or clothes that he could swim in. He ended up thinking more much than he was looking- Jungkook and Taehyung were probably off somewhere, having sex, and they probably didn't even have a condom or the necessary supplies needed to properly do it without hurting one another and Seokjin was so worried he thought he would-

"Jin!" Yoona's voice came again. Seokjin didn't even realize he was outside, nor did he realize he was standing near the edge of a hot tub with a few boys he didn't immediately recognize and a good portion of the Girl's Generation members. Only a few of them were actually wearing bathing suits- most of them just had their underwear on. "Jin, do you want to join us?"

And even though every guy in the hot tub was clearly only wearing their underwear, Seokjin stepped back, said, "I-I don't have any swim trunks with me- I didn't think there'd be a pool."
