Unexpected Love Story ✔ [Taekook]

33. What is in your room?

Taehyung's POV

I open the front doors, only to instantly panic seeing my best friend's impatient face and I curse myself inwardly for not checking through the windows before opening the door.

"Hey!" He says whilst barging in.

"W..wait! What are you doing here?" I squeal, quickly grabbing his wrist as I know he is going nowhere but towards the stairs.

He frowns at my hand and then jerks it away. "What?" He raises an eyebrow.

"Yeah, what? Nothing!" I shrug.

"Something is fishy," he mumbles.

"No! Nothing is fishy. C'mon, sit here," I push him to the sofa. "Did you have coffee already, Jimina? No, right? I'll make you."

"What the heck, Tae!"

"What? You don't want coffee? What about tea then?"

"What is in your room?" He asks.

"Nothing!!"

And he jumps up from the sofa and barges to the stairs, running upstairs. I rush behind him, yelling at him to stop!

Before I can catch him, he kicks open my room door and then pauses at the doorway in surprise.

"Oh! I expected to see some girl. But who is this boy with a broken arm?"

I leave a sigh as Jimin frowns at a panicked-looking Jungkook who is standing beside the beds.

Wait a second! He didn't recognize him!

"He's my cousin!" I suddenly blurt out.

"Cousin??" Jimin frowns. "No, you got no teenage boy cousin. All your cousins from your mother's side are below 12 and you only got girl cousins on your father's side."

"Er..he's my distant cousin. My grandmother's sister's daughter's son."

"Wait! He is the boy from Sana's bookshop!" Jimin squeals. "Am I right?" He asks tilting his head to me. I just let out another sigh and brush my hair back in annoyance.

"Hey, aren't you the bookshop guy?" He asks, staring back at my scared bunny. Jungkook nods to him and then glances at me.

"I knew it! And what are you doing here?" Jimin asks him in an intimidating tone.

"He is my friend," I say and quickly go to Jungkook's side, grabbing his hand.

"Your what?" Jimin laughs. "Friend?? Did I hear it right? Wait! Why are you holding his hand?!"

I quickly leave Jungkook's hand free.

"OH MY GOD!!! Wait! Oh no! NO WAY! Fuck! He can't be...!" Jimin closes his mouth with his palm in shock. "When did you..." he blinks his wide eyes, looking at me in absolute awe. "But how? Okay, he is cute and all but still...Wait! Taehyung-ah, is it like what I'm thinking right now?"

"No, you're thinking the wrong thing! He is my friend!" I say sternly.

He suddenly barges towards us and pushes me away. "You stay away! Let me ask him."

"Don't touch him!" I say, swiftly grabbing Jimin by his shirt and pulling him away from my bunny before he can take one more step closer to Jungkook.

"What the!" Jimin scoffs at me in surprise.

"Okay, he is my boy. You can't touch him," I tell him.

"Wow!" He utters, his face revealing total astonishment. "What happened to you, Tae? Wait, are you actually my best friend Kim Taehyung?"
