Chapter 1

Yoongi sighed as he took a sip of his whiskey.

The white noise from the busyness of the restaurant he and his friends were in was becoming louder.

Yoongi hunched over a bit as he crossed one leg over the other, his chin in his palm as he looked to his right where Jimin, sat. Their friend, Hoseok, was to Jimin's right. Immersed in a conversation together.

Then Yoongi glanced to his left where one of his best friends, Namjoon sat.

Namjoon was busy in an intellectual conversation with Taehyung's boyfriend, Song Minho, who sat across from Yoongi.

On Minho's left sat Seokjin across from Namjoon then two seats down from Minho was Jungkook, Yoongi's little brother.

And last, sandwiched in between Jungkook and Minho, was Taehyung; Yoongi's favorite person in the whole world.

Yoongi sighed softly before he looked over at Taehyung who pulled a funny face at him, making Yoongi smile a bit.

Yoongi stifled a laugh as the younger continued, the others at the table all deep into their conversations until Yoongi and Taehyung both laughed out loud.

The others looked at them with looks of confusion and slight judgement. Yoongi and Taehyung both collected themselves, smiling as they mumbled quick apologies while trying not to laugh again.

Yoongi smiled, a warm feeling spreading through his chest as he looked across the way at Taehyung, who was smiling softly at him, playfulness in his eyes.

Jimin shook his head. "I swear you two have your own language, or you communicate telepathically!" He said.

Minho chuckled. "Right?!" He asked Jimin.

Jimin smiled at Yoongi and gently rubbed the back of his knuckles against the elder's cheek. "It's okay though, it's cute, baby." Jimin said before he leaned in and kissed Yoongi's cheek.

Yoongi blushed and looked away from Taehyung as he received a sweet kiss from his... well... he wasn't quite sure what to call Jimin as the younger didn't really like to use labels, opting to say: "You're just mine, baby. All mine."

Taehyung looked away as soon as he saw Jimin leaning in towards Yoongi, he felt like he was intruding... at least that's what he told himself.

"Hey, you okay, baby?" Minho leaned over and asked him. Taehyung smiled at his boyfriend and nodded before he smiled again after he had received a kiss on his lips.

Yoongi would've sighed and excused himself if Jimin hadn't been clinging to him, falling into him as Jungkook and Hoseok made him laugh. Yoongi smiled at them before he looked back over at Taehyung who stared at him.

Yoongi gave him a small, almost apologetic, smile. It widened as the younger smiled back at him. They continued to glance at each other every now and then while they ate, all the way up until desert.

Yoongi smiled at Jimin as the younger fed him a bite of his piece of cake. Yoongi nodded. "It's good baby." He said. Jimin smirked sinerely, Yoongi knew that look all too well; he was going to be exhausted tomorrow.

Yoongi gulped before he took a drink of his water which he almost spilled on himself as he felt Jimin's hand on his thigh, ever so slightly moving up.

Yoongi turned his head and balled his fist over his mouth as he coughed kind of hard.

Taehyung almost stood up, but Minho gripped his arm a bit too tight. "Finish your cake, baby." He said before he turned to his own and cut a piece off.

Taehyung pouted and sat back down and watched as Jimin took care of Yoongi.

Yoongi stood up and excused himself to the restroom. "You gonna be okay, baby?" Jimin asked sweetly. Yoongi nodded before he walked away.

Taehyung looked over at Minho before he started to stand up again. The elder grabbed his wrist again, but tighter. "Taehyung." He said in a low voice as he gave Taehyung that look he knew all to well.

Taehyung was misbehaving.

The younger whined a bit. "Please? I- I just wanna check on Yoongi-hyung-"

"No! Now sit! Jimin can look after his own boyfriend, I don't believe they need your help!" Minho said.

Everyone at the table grew quiet, avoiding looking at the couple.

Taehyung teared up as Minho's grip tighten on his wrist. It felt like it was going to snap in two at any given moment.

"I'll... I'll go check on him for you, Tae." Jimin said softly, giving the younger a small smile before he walked off to the restroom.

Taehyung sat back down and slowly breathed out as he held his wrist under the table. Taehyung looked around at his friends.

"I'm sorry you guys..." Taehyung said softly before he looked over at Minho, who lifted his hand to pat the younger's head. No one at the table missed the way Taehyung flinched.

Taehyung chuckled a bit. "It's chilly in here. Babe, could I borrow your coat?" Taehyung asked Minho sweetly as he subtly showed him his wrist underneath the table, a bruise already forming.

Minho looked Taehyung in the eyes, a dead look in his eyes, until he smiled.

"Sure baby!" He says as he grabs his coat from behind his chair, draping it around Taehyung's shoulders as Yoongi and Jimin came back.

Yoongi's eyes were immediately on Taehyung. He looked him in the eyes as he sat down. Taehyung gave him a nod before he reached his hand up to put the coat in properly.

Yoongi's eyes immediately looked to the bruise that had gotten a bit darker. Yoongi shifted his gaze to Minho who looked back at him for a moment, before he looked at Taehyung. He smiled and leaned over to kiss Taehyung's cheek a couple times.

"Better now, baby?" He asked.

Taehyung smiled and nodded before he looked down at Minho who had his head rested on his shoulder.

Taehyung giggled at his puppy dog eyes he pulled on him. "Yeah, baby! I promise I'm fine. Thank you." Taehyung said, acting as if nothing happened.

Yoongi glared at Minho before he looked down at Jimin who rested his head on his shoulder. Yoongi gently placed his hand on Jimin's thigh as he looked at his half eaten cake.

"Baby, you're not gonna finish? You love cake." Yoongi whispered softly.

Jimin nodded. "I'm okay, you finish it hyung." Jimin said. Yoongi furrowed his eyebrows, knowing something was bothering the younger, but decided not to press.

Taehyung watched Yoongi as he took Jimin's plate and put it in front of himself before he began to eat. Taehyung blushed as he felt Minho's eyes on him. Taehyung picked up his fork and continued to eat his cake.

Yoongi was watching Taehyung as he smiled and laughed as he conversed with Jungkook. His brother and Taehyung were close in age, Jimin too, but he was a bit more mature and reserved than the other two.

He watched as Taehyung took a bite out of his cake and furrowed his eyebrows. Taehyung turned forward and grabbed his napkin. Yoongi looked over to see Minho smirking before he stood up.

Taehyung pulled something circular out of his mouth and inspected it before he wiped it down with a napkin.

Yoongi watched as he removed the napkin to reveal Yoongi's shattered heart. It was in the shape of a white engagement band with diamonds embedded around it.

Yoongi felt his actual heart going crazy in it's cage as Taehyung looked down at Minho who was already kneeling down in front of him.

Yoongi watched as Minho opened his mouth and spewed some bull shit as to why they should spend forever together.

Yoongi let out the ugliest, pained laugh. Jimin looked up at him and frowned a bit as he saw the pain in the elder's eyes.

Everyone else's eyes were on Yoongi; Minho glaring at him.

Yoongi looked around the table before he locked his eyes with Taehyung. Yoongi tried to silently pleaded with him to not marry the worse person in existence, according to Yoongi.

Taehyung glanced down at Minho as he cleared his throat and continued.

"I love you, Taehyung. And I wanna spend every single day with you. So, what do you say baby? Will you marry me?"

Yoongi clenched his pants as he (and the others) waited for Taehyung's response. Taehyung smiled as he looked at Minho, the love of his life, only man who ever loved him... but his eyes slowly shifted to Yoongi, who was staring into his soul.

Taehyung winced a bit as Minho put some pressure on his bruised wrist, making him look back at him. "I... um..." Taehyung said softly and from the corner of his eye, he saw Yoongi stand up.

Minho gave Taehyung a look, the one that told Taehyung that he was Minho's and Minho's only; forever or death so us part.

Taehyung shed a tear then another as he smiled and nodded. Yoongi slowly sat back down as he watched Minho spring up and hug Taehyung tightly around his waist as he kissed him over and over; crushing Yoongi's heart over and over.

Taehyung giggled softly as Minho kissed the side of his head as more tears fell from his eyes, more consistently until he was bawling into Minho's chest.

Yoongi looked down at Jimin. "Wanna go?" He asked bitterly.

Jimin glanced at Taehyung before he nodded. "Just let me... congratulate them and speak to Taehyung for a bit." Jimin said softly.

Yoongi nodded before he gave Taehyung one last look. An apologetic one, for many reasons.

Taehyung cried harder as he watched Yoongi slip out without the other's seeing. A second later, he felt a new, warmer, hand on his back.

Taehyung turned around to see Jimin smiling at him softly. Taehyung let go of Minho and hugged Jimin tightly.

Jimin gave the younger a tight squeeze. "Congratulations Tae, I'm very happy for you. And I promise I'll be at your beck and call anytime you need help planning!" Jimin said with a smile.

Taehyung nodded and smiled through his tears. "Thank you, Jiminie." He said before he hugged Jimin tightly.

Jimin looked at Minho. "Congratulations. Take good care of my Taehyungie." Jimin said sternly. Minho smiled before he grabbed Taehyung by his hip, making him wince a bit. Minho smiled at Taehyung before he kissed him. "I will, forever." He said.

Jimin hesitated and watched them before he forced a smile on his face. "Well, it was good seeing you all. Yoongi-hyung isn't feeling good so we're gonna go. He's sorry he left without saying goodbye to you guys." Jimin said as he looked around at their friends. He smiled and hugged them all before he left and walked out to Yoongi's car.

Yoongi looked over at him. "Is he okay?" He asked.

Jimin nodded before he looked down at his hands. "Hyung?" Jimin asked softly.

Yoongi looked over at him. "Yeah, baby?"

Jimin looked over at him. "How come you didn't stop them? Why didn't you confess?" Jimin asked softly.

Yoongi looked down before he looked inside at Taehyung and Minho. Frowning as Taehyung smiled brightly before the champagne was opened. He looked at Minho like he was the light of his life.

Yoongi let out a heavy sigh. "Because... He's happy..."

Jimin opened his mouth the speak, he wanted to tell Yoongi that he thought Taehyung wasn’t safe, but he didn't want to upset the elder any further. He'd talk to Taehyung about it tomorrow.

Yoongi looked over at Jimin. "Ready to go home?" He asked. Jimin nodded before he gently grabbed and held Yoongi's hand after he had drove away.
