Jimin and Jungkook watched Taehyung model.

They were at the Han, near the docks. It was a popular spot for visitors, with it's open bars and pretty white boardwalk. They'd been here a while now. Jungkook couldn't take his eyes off the man.

Taehyung was effortlessly attractive.

He was posing for a new clothing line for a couture brand. The numerous outfit swaps and poses must be tiresome to do all day and everyday, Jungkook thought. There was paparazzi and some fans, waiting for him to get done.

"I still can't fucking believe that you're neighbours with that fine piece of ass! You told him we aren't a thing right? Because you should totally cuff him!"

"Sure Chim. I don't even know if he's into guys, let alone into me. Stop shipping us, I can see your inner matchmaker itching!"

"But you'd look perfect together!"

Jungkook didn't want to entertain the idea. Taehyung was a model. He could have anybody he wanted. Surely, there was no way he would go for a college kid like him!

He was pretty sure Taehyung was only tolerating him because of the stupid bet. Once the day was over, Tae would be back to his glamorous world & he would be back to his books and counseling.

"Jeon! Park!"

The duo turned at the sound, the shorter one's eyes going wide at the figure running to them.

"Tell me this wasn't your plan?!" Jimin snapped in a whisper, blushing on seeing his crush running towards him.

"What plan? Yoongi is Tae's junior. I didn't know he was gonna tag along either," Jungkook shrugged.

"Junior? Taehyung is from SNU?"

"Yeah. Yoongi was at the party last night too."

Jimin nodded, fidgeting with his long sleeves. He adjusted his bucket hat and sunglasses. He was sure he was going to pass out. Crushes were so stupid. The tingly feeling meant common sense leaving his body.

"Hey guys! Fancy seeing you here!" Yoongi said, fist bumping Jungkook. He gave Jimin a side hug, who just about melted.

"Hey Yoongs. What's up?" Jungkook smiled.

At least Tae stuck to his side of the deal.

"Well, uh, Taehyungssi called me, said he wanted me to get a glimpse of set workings. Have either of you seen him by any chance?"

"Oh yeah, he's right there. Go on straight ahead."

Yoongi nodded and walked off. Some of the paparazzi took his pictures and he nodded politely. He was famous too, after all.

Jimin sighed heavily, like he had been holding his breath.

"So now we're gonna spend the day with him too?" he said weakly. "I need Soju."

He turned and began walking to the open bar.

"You do not need Soju!" Jungkook called, getting ignored.

He rolled his eyes and followed Jimin, just to make sure he didn't get wasted. Jimin drank like he was in a desert and Soju was an oasis. It helped to keep him in check.

"When are you gonna confess, man? I'm sure the size of your crush is visible from FREAKING Mars!"

"Confess? Over my dead body! Park Jimin doesn't confess first!"
