Work Text:
You would think that working with your best friend would be the best thing ever. And for Jungkook it was!
Being able to share the back corner of the office with Taehyung was a blast. Everyone knew it was their sacred space. It's where their shenanigans were planned, jokes to be had, and some design work to be done.
But that was all until Kim Seokjin joined the company.
You see, Seokjin is HOT. And not just like normal hot, hot like if you sprayed water on him it would just sizzle. Hot like you shouldn't look at him for too long or you would probably go blind. He was as radiant as the sun, maybe even more. Jungkook can just feel the gravitational pull when he's near the guy. He would let his world revolve around Seokjin.
But so would Taehyung.
Taehyung also thinks Seokjin was put on this earth to bless everyone's eyes with his magnificent beauty.
The first day Seokjin walked into the office, Jungkook spilled his iced (thankfully) Americano on his lap. He meant to aim for his mouth, but his jaw would not stay up as he watched the most beautiful man he's ever seen walk through that front office door.
Jungkook couldn't believe the shoulder to waist ratio on the guy. Or how his black hair was swept back showing striking eyebrows that complimented his beautiful almond shaped eyes. Don't even get Jungkook started on his lips. (That week he talked about them for a good 10 minutes to Yoongi, not even realizing the older fell asleep and went past their lunch break.)
But Taehyung spoke to Seokjin first. Because Jungkook is a shy little bitch.
Taehyung is gorgeous, and he knows it. He has this swagger to him. He does this fake gum chewing thing when he's feeling confident and that somehow makes him hotter. Not that Jungkook would ever tell Taehyung. JUST BEST BROS.
Taehyung is also very extroverted and can befriend just about anyone.
Jungkook just has abs.
Which, don't get him wrong, people like abs and his are very nice. He works hard for them. But once again, he's a shy little bitch.
Taehyung is the outgoing one and Jungkook is the weirdo recluse gremlin that gets dragged to places by Taehyung.
So naturally, Taehyung saw Seokjin walk through that door, and introduce himself almost immediately before he went and got their office manager. Jungkook hid in his sacred design corner, also naturally as one recluse gremlin does.
Kim Namjoon, their office manager, welcomed Seokjin, already knowing him because he hired him. Then he was introduced to Namjoon's assistant (and newly secret boyfriend), Park Jimin, who is also a close friend of Jungkook's and Taehyung.
Seokjin then met their intern Soobin who was currently in charge of front desk duties as Seulgi was out on maternity leave. Soobin's eyes sparkled as he said hi to Seokjin, and well, Jungkook doesn't blame him. His eyes too would sparkle if he was capable of looking at Seokjin's beautiful poreless face up close, but alas he cannot.
Then Seokjin met Yongsun and Hyejin who are in charge of sales. They're friendly, easy to get along with, and thankfully not into men. So that's less competition for Jungkook (not that he'd ever get the courage to ask Seokjin out ha ha ha ha).
The offices in the back have windows facing the main area where his corner resides, so Jungkook saw Seokjin meeting Hoseok and Yoongi. And at this time Jungkook wishes he could read lips correctly because right now it looks like Hoseok is mouthing 'Fuzzy little goldish" to Seokjin.
And lastly, the design corner, where Seokjin will stop.
"You met Kim Taehyung already," Namjoon gestures to a smiling Taehyung who is now sitting at his desk with a lollipop. Where did he even get that and why does Jungkook not have a lollipop to lick seductively at the new co-worker?!
Taehyung bows, "Looking forward to working with you Seokjin-ssi."
Seokjin smiles and Jungkook's heart just swoops, "Likewise, Taehyung-ssi."
"And this is Jeon Jungkook, our other designer."
Jungkook is about to say hi but Seokjin glances at Jungkook's lap and it seems as though he's trying very hard to hold in his laughter.
Jungkook only lets out a meep as he seemed to have forgotten the spilled americano on his lap, too entranced by the angel walking around their office. He quickly grabbed his gym bag from under his desk and ran to the washroom.
Minutes later he came back in his sweatpants, which are against company policy, but Namjoon said it's better than Jungkook looking like he pissed himself.
So yeah, that's how Jungkook met the most beautiful human being in the universe.
It's been a whole month and Jungkook has yet to say a word to Seokjin. Too embarrassed to ever show his face again.
Taehyung on the other hand has befriended Seokjin, gets to call him hyung, and even exchange phone numbers. Jungkook shares an apartment with Taehyung and Jungkook has literally witnessed Taehyung giggling at a text from Seokjin. How could Jungkook compete with that? Especially someone as amazing as Taehyung?
Jungkook met Taehyung his first year in university. Taehyung is older, but he took a gap year, so he was in the same dorm room as Jungkook. Both also graphic design majors.
Jungkook at first was too intimidated by Taehyung. He had this stoic look on his face and an intense stare. It wasn't until he was giggling at his phone and his mouth turned into the cutest boxy smile. He found out Taehyung just has a strong resting bitch face, and Jungkook respects that.
Taehyung was the one to initiate conversation. Breaking Jungkook out of his shell as soon as he mentioned his favorite video games, only for Jungkook to say he also loves the same ones.
Jungkook always admired the way Taehyung made friends. How confident he was when it came to dating. Jungkook had one serious boyfriend in high school and only lasted 3 months. At least he got to brag to his friends he wasn't a virgin anymore. (Adult Jungkook now knows that virginity is just a social construct and he cringes at how proud 17 year old Jungkook was to touch another dick.)
He'd follow Taehyung to clubs, and attach himself to his hyung's side until Taehyung found a cute boy or girl to dance with. Jungkook was lucky if the person also had a cute friend. He preferred men, but he didn't mind dancing and kissing the person if they were also a cute girl. But unlike Taehyung, he didn't go home with them.
On nights Jungkook felt his social battery die, Taehyung always knew without asking. He'd ask Jungkook if he wanted to go home and watch a movie. He'd say the person he was dancing with smelled, or was rude, but Jungkook always knew it was a lie. Taehyung didn't like to leave Jungkook alone if his battery was dead.
Taehyung was like his little battery charger. He'd cling onto Jungkook in one of their small dorm beds, kiss him on the cheek, and the next day Jungkook would feel fully charged.
The nights Taehyung did go home with someone, Jungkook felt fine and would distract himself with video games or very very rarely go home with a guy. But without Taehyung, he always felt like something was missing.
Like, for example, Taehyung was seeing this guy in their 3rd year of college and Taehyung didn't want to sexile Jungkook, so he stayed at the guy's apartment a lot. Jungkook would be home, and his battery never charged back up. He felt drained until Taehyung would come home in the morning or a couple days later and give him that recharging cheek kiss he's been waiting for.
Taehyung broke it off with the guy after a few weeks, saying the guy wanted something serious and "I just missed my Jungkookie cuddles, ya know?"
Jungkook's stomach leaped with relief that night, not that he would ever tell Taehyung that.
Jungkook would watch from afar when Taehyung would walk to the account manager's office, aka Seokjin territory, aka the place where Mufasa told Simba he couldn't go, aka Mordor , aka Jungkook do not go even near that door land.
He could see them through the office window where they would be laughing. Once again, Jungkook wishes he could read lips. He's like 85% sure Taehyung isn't trying to convince Seokjin to jump in a tub of white mocha sauce with him. But who knows, maybe Seokjin is into that. Jungkook wouldn't know, he has never talked to the guy!
Back at their apartment is even worse.
Jungkook watched Taehyung singing and getting dressed to meet Seokjin and a few other people from work at a bar. Normally Jungkook would be the one to tag along with Taehyung, but if you put alcohol in front of Jungkook while Seokjin is in his vicinity…chaos would ensue and we don't want that. So Jungkook lied and said his World of Warcraft guild is waiting for him to join a raid. Silly Taehyung, he should know they don't raid on Friday nights.
Taehyung came home that night, tipsy, giggly, and lamented about the beautiful navy silk shirt Seokjin wore as Jungkook tried to modify his Elden Ring character to look like Sonic the Hedgehog.
It took a few more tries for Taehyung to finally convince Jungkook to come out with them after work.
"You can't keep using the WoW guild excuse, I know you don't raid on fridays!"
"Hyunnnnnngggggggggg."
So here Jungkook is, sitting in the corner of a booth, sipping on his beer as he watches Taehyung flirt with Seokjin. He tried to turn and talk with Yoongi, his fellow work introvert friend, but he's currently making goo-goo eyes at Hoseok while he tells some elaborate story Jungkook can't hear. Jungkook isn't even going to try and read the lips this time after last week's actual successful lip-reading. He did not need to know what Jimin planned to do to Namjoon when they got home. He will never look at them the same, and Namjoon is his boss.
Jungkook could feel his social battery draining, but he doesn't want to disrupt Taehyung's seemingly successful flirting. So he heads outside the bar where nobody could ask him what's wrong. Because he has no idea what's wrong.
The bar is on a busy street in Itaewon, but he can at least breathe in some air that doesn't smell like the smoke that filled up the inside. He's currently checking his League of Legends fantasy team when he senses a presence next to him.
"Ah, you're so lucky you got Faker on your fantasy team. My friend grabbed him before I could for my team."
Jungkook shrugs, "He's literally the only reason I'm first with my group. T1 is destroying this season."
It's not until Jungkook recognizes the chuckle and looks up to the person next to him. Seokjin. A nervous laugh.
All of a sudden he's a bit sweaty, "Oh uh, Seokjin-ssi, what are you doing out here? Where's Tae-hyung?"
Seokjin smiles, "Jimin dragged him to dance because Namjoon was getting into a heavy debate about economics with Yoongi as Hoseok was zoned out from his one beer. And you calling me hyung is completely fine."
Jungkook hopes Seokjin doesn't notice the way his cheeks turn pink so easily, "Oh uh, thanks hyung."
Seokjin leans against the wall like the hot man he is, "What are you doing out here?"
Jungkook waves to the bar, "I'm not sure if you realized it by now but I'm not the most social person of the group?"
Seokjin chuckles, "Ah yeah I've noticed. Taehyung keeps whining every time when we go out that his little twunky nerd best friend won't join and he misses him."
Jungkook perks an eyebrow, "Little twunky nerd?"
Seokjin smirks, "Is he wrong?"
Jungkook coughs, "......not in the least bit….so what are you doing out here?"
Seokjin leans his head against the brick wall and faces the busy street. Jungkook's eyes map the beautiful slope of Seokjin's profile and save it to memory.
"I just get tired after so much socializing."
Jungkook sighs, "God, same."
Seokjin laughs, "Tae is great though. The few times we've gone out he said I reminded him of you. How you need to charge your battery at the end of the night."
Jungkook shrugs nonchalantly, "I'm convinced Tae-hyung is the energizer bunny when it comes to socializing."
"Extroverts, I don't know how they do it…"
"Extroverts more like ex-hausting, ha ha amirite?"
Seokjin turns to him and cocks a beautiful eyebrow in amusement.
"Oh god did I just make this weird? I'm sorry you intimidate me, so I do weird shit when I'm intimidated, like when you met me and I had coffee all over my crotch so it looked like I pissed my pants, but I swear I haven't pissed my pants since I was 8 and that was an accident because my brother jumped out, and scared me when I had a full bladder. I swear I didn't wet the bed at a late age like how most serial killers have. The only common serial killer trait I have is that I'm a virgin..fuck I mean virgo. I've had sex. I swear…I'm a…normal…boy. Fuck." Jungkook finally takes a breath.
Seokjin just bursts out laughing and Jungkook is convinced he just died of embarrassment and this is what heaven sounds like, squeaky window wipers emanating from heaven's most beautiful angel. He's not even religious but he would be if it meant seeing Seokin when he dies.
Seokjin finally calms down from laughing, "You're hilarious."
"I am?!"
"Yeah…you're also pretty cu–"
"JUNGKOOK-AHHH, MY BABY SNOOKUMS ARE YOU OUT HERE?!"
Jungkook sees Taehyung standing outside the door of the bar, "Ah, I see that Taehyung-hyung is a bit drunk."
Taehyung turns to the side and finds Jungkook and Seokjin staring at him as he sways a bit. He very obviously eyes Seokjin up and down, "Hey hottie. Come here often?"
Jungkook chokes on his spit.
Taehyung turns to him, "Oh there you are my baby! Don't worry you're hot too."
"I…."
Taehyung grabs the sleeve of Jungkook's shirt, "Let's go home. I want cuddles." He turns to Seokjin and tilts his head so cutely, "Do you want cuddles too? I give Jungkookie kisses and cuddles for him to recharge. He gets all sleepy from socialization like you, hyung!"
Seokjin laughs, "I'm sorry I have to skip out on cuddles, but maybe I'll take a raincheck. I'm going to go say bye to the others. Get home safe."
Taehyung giggles, "Sounds good, hot thang. Have a good night." He winks.
"Bye hyung," whispers Jungkook.
On the subway ride home Jungkook can't stop thinking about how Seokjin is way different than he thought. First of all they bonded over professional League of Legends, and then to find out he's a fellow introvert who doesn't do crowds!? Then there's his smile, his laugh…his…wow. So swoon-worthy.
Taehyung on the other hand is very loud about his thoughts on Seokjin, "God I want to climb that man like a tree and live on his shoulders. He's so hot, Jungkookie. He's like…on your level of hot…that's a very big number." Taehyung nods enthusiastically.
Jungkook never understands drunk Taehyung and his need to compliment Jungkook all the time. Jungkook is on the same hot level as Seokjin, YEAH OKAY.
Taehyung rests his head on Jungkook's shoulder, "I'm sweepy. Will you gimme forehead kisses and tuck me in? I'm now baby. Not you."
The 2 weeks after The Talk with Seokjin, Jungkook finally found his way to Mordor.
"I've come to destroy the ring," he hands Seokjin a coffee.
"My precious," Seokjin responds with his best Smeagle imitation.
Jungkook's a little hard, not gonna lie.
The Monday after The Talk, Jungkook realized Seokjin was almost as weird as him and Taehyung. Which says a lot. You wouldn't think it by looking at the beautiful man in his designer business shirts, but he's just as big of a nerd. Possibly bigger if his Maple Story merchandise collection is anything to go by.
During lunch last week, he and Seokjin compared and swooned over their gaming computer specs as Taehyung and Seokjin rambled on about an anime Jungkook can't get into because why does every girl have to fall for the brooding man dude?! All three fit pretty well together overall.
So today he took the final step into the shadow lands and Mufasa is going to be so disappointed in him. Oh god, who is Mufasa in his brain story?! He would rather someone not die while he causes trouble because of his evil uncle…
The door of Seokjin's office opens and it's Taehyung, "Nala!"
Seokjin turns to Jungkook, "I thought we were doing Lord of The Rings?"
"Honestly hyung, my brain is just an egg that was scrambled a bit too hard if you know what I'm saying."
"I don't."
Taehyung chimes in, "ADHD."
Seokjin nods his head, "Ah okay makes sense."
Jungkook shrugs and pulls out his current hyperfixation food, strawberry pocky, and starts to munch as Taehyung settles in the seat next to him. They all enjoy their lunch together, it's great.
And it continues like this for another month.
And then Taehyung drops a bomb on Jungkook one night while sitting on the couch flipping through Netflix.
"I asked Seokjin-hyung on a date."
Jungkook drops the controller, "What?!"
Taehyung turns to him, "Are you actually surprised?"
With the way those two stare at each other sometimes…no.
"Oh um, no I guess not. But you're just always flirty so I wasn't sure how serious you were about your feelings."
Jungkook feels a little sweaty and he's not sure why.
Taehyung shrugs, "That's the thing, I'm unsure. So I figured getting to know hyung in a more intimate setting might awaken those feelings."
Jungkook's stomach feels like it just felt out, which is gross, but it makes sense metaphorically.
"Wow Kim Taehyung, willing to try dating. Ha ha."
Taehyung finally finds something for them to watch, "Seokjin-hyung is worth it."
"Yeah…he is."
So it's now Friday night, and Jungkook is currently watching Taehyung run around their apartment looking for something to wear. He's currently on FaceTime with Jimin, trying to show him every outfit he owns because Jimin is a very stylish son of a bitch.
"Okay, but Jimin-ah, do I wear the pants that make my ass look great, or the pants that match the soft green sweater?"
Jungkook sighs and goes back to his game, Taehyung would look amazing wearing a garbage bag. And if Seokjin agreed to go on a date, he must already find Taehyung attractive in his boring work clothes.
Jungkook decided tonight he'll treat himself with delivery and try to finally beat this really hard boss in Elden Ring, all while wearing nothing but his boxers. Maybe if he's even up for it, he'll have some nice one on one time with his hand. This is clearly the better option than going on a date with the hottest man to ever grace the earth and possibly getting smooched by his perfect lips ha ha ha.
Jungkook can hear Taehyung throwing shoes around his room when the door buzzes. He checks the time and the delivery guy probably just dropped off his pre-paid food. He waits a second for the delivery guy to disappear so then Jungkook can open the door in his underwear.
Except it wasn't his food.
It's the hottest man to ever grace the earth.
"Oh uh, Seokjin-hyung! Hi! You're not my fried chicken!"
Seokjin quickly glanced at Jungkook's attire with his eyes slowing down on his abs–nice–and then snapped back up to his face. "Oh, uh no I'm not?"
Jungkook then feels a hand on his shoulder, "But hyung looks spicy like fried chicken."
Taehyung has such a way with words.
They all laugh, but Jungkook is starting to feel really awkward, and shimmies his way back to the couch so he can hide under his blanket in embarrassment as the two greet each other for their date. Ahhhh.
He's trying really hard not to be nosey, but he can hear them complimenting each other and it's making his stomach swirl. And he's also trying to avoid eye contact with them when Taehyung invites Seokjin in as he finishes getting ready. Jungkoik's going to pretend he do-not-see's that another person is in his apartment even if he now considers that man a friend. A hot friend. Ha ha nobody else is here. Just him and his hand. Ha ha.
The reason he doesn't want to look is because once again, Seokjin looks amazing. His date attire is slightly similar to his club attire, but he keeps the top couple buttons undone and styles his hair a bit neater. Seokjin even smelled different when Jungkook was near him. The scent was something expensive and sexy. Like those commercials with the actors and they're like on a boat, but you have no idea what the plot is and then they just whisper the brand name…
𝓢𝓸𝓭𝓪 𝓕𝓸𝓾𝓷𝓽𝓪𝓲𝓷
Fᵣₐ𝓰ᵣₐₙ𝒸ₑ ᵦᵧ ₐᵣₘₐₙᵢ
Yeah, it smells like one of those colognes.
Taehyung walks back out of his room, dress shoes in hand. Of course he looks beautiful, but that was predictable. The waves in his black hair frame his face perfectly. He ended up choosing a tan suit jacket with matching pants. Jungkook will never understand how Taehyung is capable of making old men's clothes look so good. But then again, Jungkook secretly thinks Taehyung is an old man in a 26 year old body. What 20-something year old listens to jazz and plays golf for fun?!
He's now so zoned out thinking about his newest Old Man Taehyung theory– Taehyung's weird connection with old ladies– that he doesn't realize the man himself is right behind him.
"We're heading out, Kook-ah. Behave yourself. Don't wait up," and then he kisses the top of Jungkook's head.
He's totally blushing, "Yes eomma."
"Does this make me appa," Seokjin is clearly joking, but Jungkook's only response is to yell, "OH GOD," and hide under his blanket before he pops a boner in front of his best friend's date…who is also his friend….hot friend.
Inside his new home (the blanket), he hears laughter and the door shut. He considers never leaving until his food is finally delivered. And Taehyung is right, Seokjin did look as spicy as his fried chicken tasted :/
A usual routine Taehyung used to have after dates was to come home very late with a smile on his face, and tell Jungkook all about his night even including the spicy details because Jungkook is a gremlin and doesn't sleep until 4am on weekends.
Except this time very late meant 10am the next day. As in, Taehyung spent the night at Seokjin's. As in, they most likely boned and Jungkook isn't sure if he'd be able to handle the spicy details for multiple reasons. Like, he'd be bummed hearing about Seokjin's dick when he is not the one who gets to experience it. He also might get hard and Taehyung doesn't need to know about that right now.
So when Taehyung swaggers through the front door, yesterday's suit jacket thrown over his shoulder, bottom lip bit, and the cockiest smile on his face, Jungkook pretends he was sleeping and not just eating cereal.
The next week at work involved watching Taehyung walk into Seokjin's office everyday for lunch. They always invited Jungkook to join, but he doesn't want to feel like a third wheel. Especially when Jungkook specifically knows that they have gone on TWO more dates. And yes they did bone because Jungkook heard Jimin asking Taehyung details. He tries not to imagine it, but his perverted mind loves to wander.
It took Hoseok nudging him to realize it's becoming a problem.
"Why do you look like a kicked puppy every time Taehyung walks into Jin-hyung's office?"
Jungkook just shrugs and shoves more food in his mouth, so he doesn't have to talk.
"It's because his boyfriend has a new boyfriend," snickers Yoongi.
Jungkook scoffs, spitting out some rice onto the table, "Taehyungie-hyung is not my boyfriend."
"Then you should tell him that."
Jungkook rolls his eyes.
Yes, Taehyung does introduce Jungkook as his boyfriend half of the time. Yes, Taehyung gives Jungkook cheek and forehead kisses multiple times a day. Yes, Taehyung has talked about their future living together plenty of times. But they're not dating.
He doesn't do the things Taehyung does with Seokjin. Like bone, go on dates, and mouth kiss. Would he be against that? Not necessarily… but like has it ever been an option? No? His feelings for Taehyung have honestly always been blurred.
You can be in love with your best friend platonically. But at some point that love can turn into romantic, but it's hard when the person is your person. Though, Jungkook has never doubted that if he and Taehyung were to ever make that leap, he wouldn't be against it. But now that's just as unreal as ever dating Seokjin.
He's happy for them though. He's only bitter because he wishes it were him, in both shoes. Wishes he didn't feel like a third wheel when he was with the two when before they used to work so well as three.
It took another week of dates for Jungkook to finally hang out with Taehyung and Seokjin. And it was sort of forced upon him.
Taehyung and Seokjin arrived back at the apartment and Seokjin didn't seem to be leaving. Instead he was taking off his shoes. Was he staying the night here? He never does that.
Jungkook starts to lift himself up off of the couch, "Um…do you guys need me to uh, give you privacy?"
Taehyung tilts his head, "Oh.. no? We wanted to hang out with you actually!"
"Really?"
Seokjin nods walking over to the couch, "We were just talking at dinner how we miss you during our lunches at work."
"Oh."
And then in the turn of events he became sandwiched between the couple. He felt less like a third wheel for most of the night. It wasn't until Jungkook saw the two kiss in the kitchen, so he excused himself to bed. He made sure he wore headphones that night, unsure of what sounds he'd hear..because he knows deep down they'd affect them in a way he's not prepared for yet.
Feelings started getting more tangled when it was nearing the end of the year holiday party for the entire company. All branches were gathered at a fancy hotel in the middle of Seoul to celebrate the company's nationwide success.
Jungkook arrived with Taehyung and Seokjin since they said it made more sense due to Taehyung and Jungkook living together. Which is true, so they had a point.
He stopped feeling less like a third wheel, but it always threw him off when he was invited out with the two, even on date-like outings. He sort of figured by now they'd force one of Seokjin's single friends onto him. Like do double dates or something. But no, it was always just the three. So with this party, it sort of felt natural sharing the same car as them and walking in together. Taehyung's hand wasn't even around Seokjin's hand, he was holding Jungkook's.
Taehyung being the social butterfly he is, eventually wandered off to go mingle. Jungkook went outside on the quiet balcony with Seokjin, getting away from the chaos inside.
They both had a glass of champagne in their hands, leaning on the railing, looking over the pretty lights of Seoul. It was cold, but the lack of breeze made it feel really nice outside. The sky was as clear as the smoggy air would let it get, but luckily you could still see the full moon. Some would say it felt romantic. Some being Jungkook. He didn't want to think like this. He's standing next to his best friend's new boyfriend, who he finds very attractive and has growing complicated feelings for.
Jungkook was making fun of Seokjin's old age as usual for his defense mechanism, trying to convince himself this isn't a crush. But Seokjin only finds it more fun to tease back. They're bumping shoulder to shoulder now laughing their asses off, slightly tipsy on expensive champagne. He turns to Seokjin and Jungkook feels his heart stutter. How unfair is it that Seokjin and Taehyung have each other when they are easily the two most beautiful people Jungkook has ever seen.
For a second he feels like Seokjin's eyes bounce from Jungkook's eyes to his lips a few times. Even licking his own bottom lip just lightly. If Seokjin wasn't dating Taehyung, and this was a romantic atmosphere, Jungkook would risk it and kiss him. But he can't. So he fakes a cough and looks away.
"Um, are you okay," asks Seokjin.
"Uh, yeah, champagne makes my throat scratchy I think. Maybe I'm sick. Maybe I'm dying. I should uh, head home."
"Do you want me to go grab Tae and we can head back?"
Jungkook waves his hands, sloshing the champagne out of the glass onto the floor, "Oh no, I don't want to interrupt your night. You two celebrate!"
Seokjin steps towards him, "You're not interrupting. We wouldn't mind going back with you. There's something we've been wanting to talk about anyways."
Maybe they know he has dumb blooming feelings in his dumb silly heart.
"No no no its fine. I just want to go to bed. Maybe we can talk about this later?"
Seokjin looks unsure but he nods, "Get home safe, JK."
So here Jungkook is, screaming into his pillow at 10pm on a Saturday night.
God he feels terrible, having a crush on your best friend's new boyfriend!? Horrible! Not good! Jungkook should move away. Beautiful sweet Taehyung deserves the best boyfriend and that's Seokjin. Jungkook would give Taehyung the world if he asked, but he knows his friend is too kind and would just offer to share it with him.
Taehyung. Kim Taehyung. Jungkook's friend who he is platonically in love with. And maybe if he smooched him he might get rid of the platonic part.
He suddenly sits up in his bed. What the fuck.
Maybe everyone is right and Jungkook and Taehyung should date. Well now that can't happen because Taehyung found his match in Seokjin and Jungkook doubts they'd ever break up because they're perfect human beings.
He barely gets a peep of sleep that night.
He's trying to chug horrible instant coffee the next morning when Taehyung walks through the door.
"MY BABY JUNGKOOKIE! Are you okay!?"
Taehyung runs up to him and cradles Jungkook's head to his chest and proceeds to kiss all over it.
"Aishhh, I'm fine."
"Jinnie-hyung stopped me from following you home. He said you didn't want us to come with!" He can hear Taehyung's pout. "I was so worried about you. Hyung was too. We missed you, but we decided to just stay at his place last night."
Jungkook's heart does a flutter, but that only causes him to cry.
"You guys are too good to me."
"Because you deserve the best, baby!"
But you guys are the best.
"I don't know about that." Jungkook wipes his hand on his running nose, "I've been a horrible friend."
Taehyung backs up so he's looking down at Jungkook sitting in his chair, "Why would you say such a thing about my angel baby?!"
"Tae.."
"I'm serious!"
"I am too!"
"Spill. Why is my Jungkookie crying his eyes in the kitchen we eat our poorly cooked food?"
"IthinkIhaveacrushonyourboyfriend," he mumbles…making sure he leaves out the and you part. He's already ruining their friendship enough as it is.
"You have a what," Taehyung genuinely sounds confused.
"I might have tiny feelings for Seokjin-hyung. I think."
"Oh….oh my baby." Taehyung is cradling his head again. "I need to call hyung."
"What!? Don't tell him!"
"Baby, baby, this will get better. But I'm gonna wait for hyung to be here, okay? It needs to be in person and together."
Jungkook only nods against Taehyung's comforting chest.
Except Seokjin is visiting his parents this fine Sunday, and Taehyung refuses to say anything until Seokjin is with them.
So that leaves them to see each other at work.
Taehyung drags Jungkook into Seokjin's office and makes him sit down. They even pull out a cute little bento box that Seokjin put together for Jungkook.
"So…." Jungkook says as he takes a bite of beautifully delicious food.
Taehyung clears his throat, "Hyung and I wanted to know if you'd like to join us for dinner tonight?"
Ah…so this is how they're going to friendship break up with him. Wine and dine him and then break his fragile heart.
"Oh…okay." He's a masochist.
"It'll be okay Kook-ah," Seokjin reassures him with a pretty smile.
Jungkook only nods at them and quietly finishes his lunch.
Taehyung told him to dress nice "but not super fancy, just look hot," he said. Jungkook has no idea what that means. He sticks with a dark blue button up, leaving the top buttons undone, and wears a pair of black jeans. He decides on black boots, messily styles his dark hair. He thinks he looks decent.
"WOW JUNGKOOK-AH," Taehyung is eyeing him like how a predator looks at it's food, "I didn't doubt that you'd look hot, but wow, you look very hot."
"Hyung!" Jungkook blushes and looks at what Taehyung is wearing. He has a t-shirt under a blazer with loose slacks, yet he somehow pulls off the whole look. So beautiful. "You like nice, too."
Taehyung beams and thanks him. Then his phone buzzes, and Seokjin is letting them know he's downstairs waiting outside.
They decided to eat somewhere nearby because if alcohol was going to be involved, cabs are expensive and public transit isn't reliable late in the night.
They end up at a steak place, and Jungkook sits across from the two. His leg won't stop bouncing under the table, and he can feel himself sweating. To soften this blow, he starts to chug his wine. Seokjin ordered them a whole bottle and Jungkook is pretty sure he drank half to himself.
They haven't finished their food yet, but they still have yet to friendship breakup with him. They just keep talking casually, like when they normally hang out. Except Seokjin doesn't hold back his dirty jokes he reserves for Taehyung, even winking at Jungkook. Taehyung on the other hand, is touchy with both of them. Normally he restrains himself if Jungkook is with him and Seokjin, but Jungkook finds his hand also being held across the table.
After dessert, Taehyung and Seokjin turn to each other and nod. This is when it happens. This is when they dump him for being a shitty friend.
His head starts to hurt and he seems to zone out, feeling woozy from his wine intake. He can see their mouths moving, and they're both holding one of his hands.
He snaps out of it when he hears, "Do you understand, Kook-ah?" Taehyung is looking at him with puppy eyes. This could only mean that when he zoned out, they dumped him. He doesn't ask them to repeat it because that'll just hurt the blow some more.
The headache comes back, but it's even more painful this time. He thinks he might even start to cry. He stands up to walk to the washroom, but he practically falls over.
Seokjin catches him and holds him against his chest. He feels so warm and so good.
"Let's take this sleepy boy home," Seokjin says to Taehyung. Jungkook is the sleepy boy, but he's also a sad boy.
He only sort of remembers Taehyung and Seokjin dressing him, which is just embarrassing because they just dumped him as a friend and now they have to see him half naked!? He also remembers two soft kisses on his forehead. Those will probably be the last ones from Taehyung ever again.
And then he knocks out.
The next morning he finds meds and water next to his bed to take. His mouth tastes like shit, so he heads to the bathroom very slowly and quietly. He'd rather avoid his roommate now that they're apparently not friends.
He can hear giggling down the hallway. He peaks around the corner and can see Taehyung sitting in Seokjin's lap as Seokjin kisses all over Taehyung's neck. Jungkook feels like a creepy voyeur, wishing that were him in either position. He hears a quiet moan coming from one of them. He regrets staring because the kissing has gotten more intense and Seokjin's hands are down the back of Taehyung's shorts, guiding him to grinding against Seokjin's lap.
Jungkook gets himself to look away, and quickly runs to the bathroom, no need to pop a boner right now. That would be pathetic.
He decides to avoid the two and leave the apartment when he heard them walk into Taehyung's room, most likely to continue what was happening on the couch.
He finds himself at Yoongi's apartment later that day. He should've called before hand because a half naked Hoseok answered the door.
Jungkook sighs, "Nice to see all my friends at the office are pairing off now."
Hoseok rolls his eyes, "You're so blind, Jungkook."
"Huh?"
Yoongi comes around the corner and glares at Hoseok, "Let him figure it out himself."
Jungkook throws up his arms in frustration, "Why does everybody keep talking to me so ominously?! I come here to chill with my fellow introvert and instead I find out the guy he's been crushing on forever is now dating him. WHEN DO I GET TO DATE MY CRUSHES!?"
Hoseok turns red and faces Yoongi, "DATING?! YOU HAVE A CRUSH ON ME?!"
Yoongi is glaring at Jungkook, who is quickly slipping his shoes on again, "Oh um…I read this wrong, huh…guess I'm gonna head out okay BYE."
Jungkook is sick of his friends. He has nobody to run to right now.
Last time he went to Jimin's he found a dog collar that said Joonie on the table and decided he was never going to step foot into that apartment ever again. He didn't need to know these things about his boss.
So yeah. He has nobody to currently run to. Maybe he should become a hermit, HA WHO NEEDS FRIENDS?! Maybe even quit his job. He can freelance?! Work from home! Oh god…he's going to have to move out. He won't be able to see Taehyung anymore, especially with Seokjin over all the time.
Jungkook stares out into the park he ended up at…maybe he can live here with the homeless guy who lives by the dumpster. He told Jungkook one time that someone threw out a perfectly cooked whole rotisserie chicken. So at least Jungkook won't starve if he moves here.
He looks over to the bench across from him and sees a young couple making out. Ugh. He's so annoyed. And this is just proof sexuality isn't a choice! Because he would choose to be asexual and aromantic! That way he won't feel the need to cry when he discovers that he's in love with his best friend and his boyfriend.
Yeah…..he went there. He said love.
He doesn't know how much time passes because his phone died from too many phone games to distract himself. He stands up and decides he needs to at least go home and love on his comfy bed before he decides to move to the park dumpster.
As soon as he walks through the door he has a freshly showered Taehyung wrapped around him.
"BABY WHERE DID YOU GO?!"
"Uh….on a walk."
Seokjin is now next to him, who also smells of body wash, "We tried calling you! We were worried we scared you off last night after the talk."
Now Jungkook is confused, "Ah, um…just needed to think about the talk." Maybe they didn't friend dump him…oh god maybe they were just like 'YO JUNGKOOK CAN YOU STOP GETTING BONERS WHEN YOU SEE US KISSING.' and he was too drunk to hear it, oh god. He's so embarrassed they noticed. IT WAS ONLY 3 TIMES!
Taehyung kisses his cheek, "Okay just let us know when you're ready."
"Mmkay."
And because Jungkook has no recollection of the conversation at dinner, he has yet to let them know what he's "ready" about. Fuck.
Taehyung and Seokjin gave him space to think about whatever this thing he's supposed to be thinking about is, but a week later they seem to get antsy.
He finds them cornering him before he can pack up and leave work.
"You're not allowed to leave the apartment tonight," demands Taehyung.
"Umm…okay."
"I'm making us three dinner. You are going to eat said dinner. And we are going to communicate," adds Seokjin.
Jungkook is a little scared and a little turned on. "Uh…okay."
So Seokjin cooks them a nice dinner because Taehyung can't cook and Jungkook had no choice. They don't allow alcohol to be present because Seokjin brought up that they need to have clear minds because he thinks something was misinterpreted during their last dinner together.
Taehyung and Seokjin converse with him through the whole dinner like friends, like nothing weird is going on. It's not until they drag him to the couch and make him sit in between them. His favorite spot.
"Kook-ah, so we were thinking about what we talked about," says Taehyung.
Seokjin moves closer, "And we know it's a tough decision, but what if we showed you what it could be if you said yes."
What?!
He can feel one hand sliding to the inside of his thigh, and another one combing through his hair. He's leaning his head back into the touch and then he snaps out of it.
"IS WHAT YOU ASKED ME AT DINNER IS TO HAVE A THREESOME?! WERE YOU PLANNING TO THAT NIGHT?!"
The couple pause their hands that were roaming Jungkook's body. Seokjin sighs and turns to Taehyung, "He really wasn't listening, huh."
Taehyung whines, "Oh Kook-ahhh, you really don't know what's going on do you?!"
Jungkook shakes his head.
"We said we wanted to take you out on more dates!"
"DATES?!"
Seokjin caresses the inside of Jungkook's thigh, moreso now in a comfort type of manner, "We've been trying to woo you."
"For like…ages," Taehyung continues.
"YOU WHAT!?"
Taehyung clasps a hand around Jungkook's jaw and turns his head to face him, "You really don't know?" Jungkook tries to shake his head. "Wow. Have I not been obvious?! I thought you just needed time, and you've been busy, and you've said numerous of times you don't like dating."
"Hyung…what are you saying?"
"I've always had a crush on you, silly. But you just never seemed emotionally available, so…I just held it in."
"I…."
"Then I noticed your obvious crush on Seokjin-hyung."
"Oh…"
"It took Yoongi-hyung pointing it out one day super casually saying that's how you look at me."
Seokjin chuckles, "You really aren't subtle, JK."
Jungkook can feel his face flushing red.
Taehyung rubs his neck, "We both discussed having feelings for you, but we also knew we liked each other, so we still wanted to date."
Seokjin's thumb lightly slides along Jungkook's inner thigh, "And we realized you made it better."
"....oh."
"We…like you. Both of us do. We thought we were being very obvious. We want to date you together. All 3 of us as a thing."
Jungkook is stunned, "So…you're not friendship breaking up with me?"
Seokjin groans, "You and your wild imagination! Who the fuck friendship breaks up?! Why would we?!"
".....because I had a crush on my best friend's boyfriend….all while having a crush on my best friend….so I…just was the creepy boy staring from afar getting boners when you made out..and you guys noticed and were like 'oh god jungkook is so gross, look at his tiny boner. Let's laugh at it and then dump him as a friend.' And then you'd do that and then I'd go home crying…but then I wouldn't have a home to go to because you guys are here looking hot on the couch making out, and now I gotta go move in with the homeless dude behind the dumpster that apparently has really good food and—MMF!"
His words are cut off by a soft pair of lips pressed against his.
Taehyung pulls away before Jungkook realizes he wasn't kissing back, "You get boners when you see us make out?"
"That's what you got from it! I–MMF!"
Another pair of lips are on his, but this time they are thicker.
"You cant just shut my rambling up with kisses!"
Taehyung laughs, "Yes we can. We can also occupy your mouth in other ways."
"I…" suddenly Seokjin's hand is sliding back to his inner thigh, and Jungkook inhales a breath, "I…would like to see those ways."
Taehyung giggles, "I know what we can do." He climbs over Jungkook and straddles Seokjin's lap. He doesn't even hesitate to go in for a kiss. When he pulls back he turns to Jungkook, "You can watch this time."
"Fuck," he breathes out.
So he watches like the creepy voyeur he is, except he's allowed to do this. And he's pretty sure they're going to touch him back because they did promise to shut him up in ways other than kisses.
Taehyung begins mouthing along Seokjin's neck, and Seokjin keeps eye contact with Jungkook. His stomach swoops from the sultry look on Seokjin's face. Seokjin's hand that remained on Jungkook's thigh starts to move towards the obvious bulge already straining in Jungkook's jeans.
Light pressure brings out a moan, and Taehyung giggles against Seokjin's neck and whispers loudly, "Do it again, but harder."
So Seokjin does. He palms him harder making Jungkook squirm, wanting to be released from the confines of his jeans. Taehyung sits up in Seokjin's lap and moves his hands to the bottom hem of Jungkook's shirt, "Off off." Jungkook easily complies and lifts his arms so the couple can take his shirt off.
Taehyung once again gives him that predator look, and Jungkook shivers now knowing what it means. "Our Kookie is so sexy, isn't he hyung?"
"I'd say so."
Taehyung lifts himself off of Seokjin to crawl back over to Jungkook's lap. Seokjin then turns Jungkook's head so he can capture his lips. He teases with his tongue and bites his lips as they start to make out. Jungkook for a second forgets Taehyung is on his lap until he feels lips around one of his nipples. He can feel a hum of laughter against his chest as Taehyung sucks again, leaving a little tiny trail of bites.
Seokjin's hand that was palming him starts to mess with the button of Jungkook's jeans, and Jungkook eagerly helps him undo them if this means he gets to free his erection. It's only a matter of seconds until Seokjin is pulling him out and begins to play with the precum on the tip.
So many sensations at once. A hand wrapped around his cock, as lips travel from his mouth to his neck. Then there's another mouth traveling all over his torso as hands rub against his rib cage.
Taehyung begins to lower himself to the floor in front of the couch, taking Jungkook's pants and underwear with him. When Taehyung begins to wrap his mouth around Jungkook's cock, that's when Jungkook realizes everyone else is still clothed.
"Fuck…hyungs, I w-wanna see you, too." He begins tugging at Seokjin's shirt as his other hand combs through Taehyung's hair.
They just laugh as Seokjin then suggests they head to one of the bedrooms.
They both hold Jungkook's hands as they make their way towards Taehyung's room, since he has the bigger bed. They tell Jungkook to lay down as they get rid of their clothes.
But of course they put a show on for him.
They start to roughly kiss as they grab at each other's shirts. Once those are off Taehyung drops to his knees. He positions himself so Jungkook can see his face as he pulls down Seokjin's pants. Taehyung grins as Seokjin's cock springs free. Jungkook hasn't even noticed he started stroking himself as he watched them. He'd be happy with just this view, to be honest.
Jungkook watches as Seokjin fucks Taehyung's mouth, and Jungkook interrupts them with a groan. They're both grinning at him with dark eyes. Taehyung stands up and Seokjin helps him strip off his pants. Jungkook's eyes don't leave Taehyung's erection as he begins to crawl over Jungkook and capture his lips with his.
He hears the sound of a drawer opening and then he sees Seokjin bring over a bottle of lube. He looks down at Jungkook and says, "Let us take care of you, yeah?"
Jungkook can only nod because all he feels is a dry finger prodding his hole. Seokjin hands the lube to Taehyung and then Taehyung gets to work.
He starts off careful, but he teases. When he feels Jungkook start to get into it, he stops and goes back to being slow. Jungkook can't handle it. And before he knows it, Seokjin's hard cock is right by his face. He doesn't even need to be asked because he's leaning towards it to wrap his mouth around the head. It's hard to suck and moan at the same time, but he likes the feeling of anything in his mouth. Especially the weight of a cock on his tongue.
After Taehyung is 3 fingers deep and teased Jungkook enough, he pulls back to slide a condom on. He perks his eyebrow at Jungkook, asking for permission.
"Please please please I need you."
Taehyung smirks as he begins to press in. Seokjin moves away from Jungkook's head to kneel behind Taehyung, helping him guide his hips into Jungkook. Seokjin's right hand disappears, but Jungkook has a good idea where it went by the look of bliss on Taehyung's face.
Taehyung starts at a slow pace, but Jungkook is getting antsy. "Gotta be patient, baby. Gotta stretch you good for hyung."
Jungkook's eyes widen and Seokjin only chuckles as he presses kisses to Taehyung's neck.
The stretch already feels fantastic and the slow pace is so agonizingly good. He feels like he's so close to bursting, but he needs just a bit more.
Taehyung leans down to kiss Jungkook and grinds a little deeper. They both end up moaning into each other's mouths more than anything.
Taehyung detaches his mouth and looks over his shoulder, "Hyungie, I'm ready."
Seokjin nods and hands Taehyung a condom. Taehyung slides it down Jungkook's achingly hard cock and removes his own from Jungkook's hole. He then climbs over so he's hovering his ass right above him and slowly sinks down. Jungkook's groan sounds inhumane. He forgot how good it felt with someone so tight around him.
Taehyung doesn't even hesitate before he starts bouncing up and down. Jungkook's eyes have no clue where to watch, the fucked out look on Taehyung's face, the sweat glistening on his chest, or his erection bouncing off of Jungkook's lower abs.
He doesn't even have a chance to choose before he feels a blunt force against his hole again. He looks up and sees Seokjin grinning down at him, like he's going to eat him. What's up with these two looking at him like that?! He'd totally make a joke about how he looks like a snack right now, but he doesn't want it to kill the horny vibe.
He doesn't even have a chance to think of anything funny before Seokjin is fully in and begins to move at a much faster pace than Taehyung. Jungkook isn't going to survive. This is how he dies. Best way to go, to be honest. He just hopes Taehyung and Seokjin aren't charged for murder. It's not their fault they're so hot.
Taehyung leans forward to bury his face in Jungkook's neck, and Jungkook watches Seokjin above them fucking into him. Seokjin moves so hard it makes Jungkook's hips move up into Taehyung. Jungkook always thought porn made threesomes look complicated, but wow it's way better in real life. He can't believe all their limbs managed to not get tangled and for them to find the perfect pace.
The three of them fit so perfectly together.
The sounds of skin slapping and moans echo in the bedroom. There's the smell of sweat and lube in the air that Jungkook swears he's getting high off of.
His head begins to go fuzzy as he realizes he's about to come. He can't even warn them but the look on their faces, they know. They can feel his body pulsating where they're connected to him.
He starts to squirm from sensitivity, so Taehyung lifts off and Seokjin pulls out, but neither move from their spots as Seokjin pulls his condom off. Taehyung only positions himself, so his ass is presented to Seokjin, and the oldest pushes right in. If Jungkook wasn't so exhausted he swears he could've come again from the sight above him.
He is hard again by the time Taehyung is coming all over him, and Seokjin finishes inside Taehyung. It also doesn't help as he watches Seokjin use his mouth to clean it out.
"You two will be the death of me."
Taehyung manages to chuckle against Jungkook's sweaty chest, "At least it's a good way to go."
"Exactly," he breathes out.
When Seokjin is done with his cleaning duties he lays next to Jungkook. Taehyung rolls over to Jungkook's other side, but keeps a leg hooked around him.
"So Jungkook-ah," says Seokjin.
"Hm?"
"Do you want to date us yet?"
Oh yeah…that's a thing.
Taehyung nibbles on his ear, "Imagine this happening all the time. Or even taking turns…or even just watching us…."
Jungkook's half hard cock twitches and they all laugh.
"My dick says yes."
Taehyung laughs, "And what about your heart, silly?"
"Yeah, it's also got a boner for you two."
Seokjin kisses his cheek, "Such a way with words."
Taehyung kisses his other cheek, "I'm excited to be boyfriends."
Jungkook grins, "Me too." He can't wait to tell them how in love he is.
