J-Hope smiled as soon as he saw Taehyung enter the restaurant where he and Yoongi were waiting. Taehyung returned the smile but immediately frowned when he noticed Yoongi sitting beside him.

“Hi, Taehyung… Join us for lunch,” J-Hope said.

“D-Date?” Taehyung asked, sitting across from them and perching beside Yoongi. He draped an arm around Yoongi’s bicep, making his best friend look surprised.

“Yes, a date. Shall we eat? I already ordered your favorite food, so let’s just enjoy it, hm?”

They all agreed and began eating. J-Hope deliberately acted sweet toward Yoongi—feeding him, wiping stains from his lips—watching Taehyung’s reaction carefully.

Jealousy flared in Taehyung’s eyes, though he refused to admit it. Secretly, he resented seeing J-Hope being so affectionate with Yoongi, who made no effort to stop the flirty behavior. He liked J-Hope as a friend, yes, but watching them act so domestic made him question why he had even allowed the friendship.

Taehyung raised an eyebrow as J-Hope wiped something from Yoongi’s lips again. He wanted, more than anything, to slap J-Hope’s hand away.

Meanwhile, Yoongi remained oblivious, completely confused by his best friend’s sudden sweetness. He had no idea J-Hope was deliberately acting this way, but his thoughts kept drifting back to Taehyung. He couldn’t meet his ex-lover’s gaze, afraid of the anger lurking behind it. He missed the gentle glances Taehyung used to give him, now replaced by pure fury.

Back at the table, J-Hope mentally applauded himself—his plan was working perfectly. Taehyung frowned, raised an eyebrow, and even pouted slightly as he watched J-Hope dote on Yoongi.

Just then, J-Hope grabbed his drink and intentionally spilled it on his shirt. Yoongi immediately grabbed a tissue to help clean him up.

“Oh shit, Hope! Are you okay? You’re all wet.”

“Y-yeah, it slipped… Aish, I don’t have an extra shirt.”

“No worries. I have one in my office you can wear.”

“Oh, thank you! You’re really the best!” J-Hope pecked Yoongi on the cheek, watching Taehyung’s reaction closely.

Taehyung looked away, frustrated by the sugary display, and stood. His heart hurt, but he wouldn’t admit he hated seeing Yoongi with someone else.

“I… I’m going now, guys. My lunch break is over. Thanks for the treat, J-Hope.”

“You’re welcome, Tae Tae… But can you stay a little longer? I want to show you something.”

“I’m busy… maybe next time?” Taehyung gave a forced smile, avoiding Yoongi’s eyes.

“Ah… okay,” J-Hope said sadly, forcing a smile despite feeling hurt by the rejection.

“Really? I could take a half-day off work to see it.”

“Really?! Aww, you’re so sweet, Taehyung! Thank you!”

J-Hope hugged him, realizing he's g was still wet from the spill, so he excused himself to the restroom, leaving Taehyung with Yoongi. They walked together in awkward silence.

“Umm, Tae—” Yoongi began.

“You both look good together… Are you dating your best friend?”

For the first time that day, they met eyes. Yoongi hid his emotions, maintaining a cold, indifferent facade.

“I don’t plan to hurt the only person who has been there for me through good and bad times. So no… I’m afraid I’d only hurt him, like I did you.”
