SOULMATE

15. Guys night

There's a kid screaming in the bus while I'm writing this. Smh.

The six boys were already in Jungkook's house after school. They were on the couch and some on the floor eating snacks and playing overwatch to please the youngest of the group.

"Kids, you've been playing videogames for hours." Jungkook's mom appeared behind the couch startling all of them.

"But, mom-" Jungkook whined, and the others laughed because they found Jungkook cute when he talked to his mom.

"No, Kookie." She shook her head. "It's late. Turn that off and go to eat."

"What are we eating, Mrs. Jeon?" Hoseok asked, smiling. "You know we are big fans of your cooking."

Jungkook's mom smiled sweetly. "Thanks, Hobi, but I'm very tired so I ordered pizza tonight."

The guys thanked her and walked to Jungkook's room to change into pajamas and wait for the pizza. Jungkook's mom went to her room, not before saying:

"Kids, don't forget to wash your mouth and don't go to bed too late!"

"Mooom." Jungkook whined and the boys laughed.

They closed the door and started stripping to change their clothes. It was something they were used to, so they did it shamelessly, not aware of Jimin's stare.

Jimin tilted his head looking at everyone's bodies in curiosity. They were all attractive, he wasn't going to lie. But was it normal to feel something weird when he looked at them like that? He felt his cheeks hot when he examined Jungkook's naked torso or when he looked at Hoseok's sharply marked v line. Yoongi, on the other hand, had thin arms and legs, but he had abs that made Jimin look at his own body to compare.

When his eyes traveled back to look at them, he realized everyone was looking at him.

"What are you doing?" Jin asked with a raised eyebrow. He was still only wearing boxers and Jimin unconsciously gulped down... loudly.

Everyone shared a knowing stare. It felt so awkward to be staring at each other like that, but no one dared to break the awkward silence until the bell rang.

"I'll go get the pizza." Jungkook swiftly said and in a matter of seconds he had disappeared through the door with Yoongi and Hoseok behind him, muttering something like "I'll help him."

Jin looked at Taehyung, whose gaze was so intense and intimidating that he stepped back little by little. "You know what? I'll uh, serve the coke." He walked through the door before almost running from the weird scene. "We'll wait for you downstairs!"

That left only Jimin and Taehyung in the same room. The other boys fled as soon as they could because they knew there was something strange going on between Taehyung and Jimin. They weren't fooling anyone.

"You haven't changed your clothes." Taehyung said as he handed Jimin his pajamas. Taehyung himself was only wearing boxers and a plain white t-shirt. He liked to sleep wearing that.

"Thank you." Jimin whispered, but he didn't put it on.

It felt wrong to be so shy around Taehyung; they were never like that. They would always speak their minds since they were kids. But something had changed and Jimin didn't like it.

"I'll be downstairs." Taehyung turned around to leave.

"Taetae, wait!" He had to. Jimin couldn't stand this awkward atmosphere anymore.

Taehyung turned around expressionless and Jimin spoke again, looking anywhere but Taehyung.

"I'm sorry." He played with his fingers. "I'm so sorry about the other day and what I said-"
