But, I'm Not Gay | Taejin

Chapter 11 - date?

"Stop it! I can't breathe." Seokjin was laughing so much, his laugh turned squeaky. He covered his mouth with one hand still laughing as he and Ken walked out of the cold cinema filled with the scent of buttered popcorn while the other continued to reenact a professional actor's poor performance from the lame horror film they just watched.

"He's.. he's b-b-behind m-me?" Ken jests with that horrified expression on his face with his jaw dropped, palms at the sides of his face.

Seokjin toppled over, laughing as he pushed Ken by the shoulder. "S-stop it.." he says, having a hard time breathing.

"I can't believe they actually thought that movie was R18. It could honestly pass off as a comedic spin-off from some other film! You could possibly do a better job than that "academy awarded best actor." Ken says, lightly bumping his shoulder to Seokjin's with a wide toothy smile.

"I'm not an actor." Seokjin says finally coming down from laughing as he wiped his tears and his glasses with his sweater.

"But you could be.. you're so handsome. Totally wide screen-worthy." Ken says looking Seokjin in the eyes making Seokjin's ears pink.

"Look who's talking." Seokjin says pushing his glasses up to distract himself looking away.

Ken smiles wildly and pulls Seokjin, wrapping his arm under his. "I'll get you some ice cream." he says and Seokjin just let's the man drag him to the parlour with an equally endeared smile on his face.

Seokjin's date was going very well, better than he had expected. This Ken guy was really friendly and was pleasant company. He still had thoughts of Hoseok running through his mind but Ken was surely a great guy making Seokjin feel comfortable quite easily.

"Oh, sorry!"

Seokjin cranked his neck quickly facing Ken's side hearing a stranger's apology when the man bumped into his date.

"Voo?" Seokjin widened his eyes recognizing Taehyung under his white baseball cap when he took a peak under the hat.

Ken raised his brows with the nickname and watched the stranger take of his hat.

"Heyy, hyung.." Taehyung awkwardly smiles crunching his sweater paws with his fists after fluffing out his curly hair.

"What are you doing here?" Seokjin smiles and untangles himself from Ken.

"I.. I was texting you but I forgot you had a .. uhm, that you were going out. Hobi-hyung wanted to play tennis again and I thought to get new balls and a better racket... I wanted to get your opinion on which one to buy.." Taehyung says glancing at Ken and back at Seokjin.

"He did?? When??" Seokjin asks almost pouting at Taehyung for not being invited to the match.

"He wanted to join that mini competition next month.. don't worry, I'm sure he was gonna ask you anyways.."

"Ah.. yeah, yeah. I guess.." Seokjin turned quiet for a bit.

Ken cleared his throat. "Hello.." he smiles greeting Taehyung.

"Oh! Ken!" Seokjin grabbed Ken's arm. "I'm sorry, this is Taehyung. Taehyung, this is Ken.." Seokjin introduces making faces at Taehyung trying to tell him telepathically that he was the date Hobi set him up with.

But Taehyung didn't look like he was in the mood to exchange kind pleasantries. He almost looked unimpressed eyeing Ken from head to foot.

"Hey.." Ken greets with a friendly smile extending a hand.
