This update will be a filler, going back and forth between Yeonjun's POV and Jimin's before returning to 3rd in the next one, just letting you know. It'll be easier than doing flashbacks I think



He makes it to a large house, seeing a few people lingering about outside. He pays and thanks the driver before getting out, taking a deep breath in as he stares on. He sticks his hands into his jacket pockets, his fingers fiddling with the loose strings and small pieces of lint inside them. This is fine, he'll be fine.

He walks in and he immediately feels claustrophobic. There's too many people in the living room space and he can't imagine how the rest of the house must be. He doesn't recognize most of the people here while some he's seen at school in the halls, never talking to them though. He maneuvers through the crowd and goes into the kitchen, surprised at how much alcohol there is on the counter.

He snoops around, looking at his options when he's startled by a hand roughly landing on his shoulder and he quickly turns around to see who it is.

"Chill dude," Yunhyeong laughs. "Glad you could make it Jeon."

"Thanks for inviting me."

Yunhyeong walks around him and snatches a can of beer, popping it open before handing it over to Yeonjun. He looks at it for a mere second before grabbing it from him, taking a sip.

"Follow me. We're upstairs."

Yeonjun absentmindedly follows Yunhyeong upstairs, continuing taking sips from his beer and the strong aroma of weed hits him as they walk into a room. But the green smell is ignored when he notices Ali and the rest of Yunhyeong's friends sitting in a circle. He had mentally prepared himself for this moment but it's different actually being here. He blushes when Ali looks at him and smirks cheekily, causing him to look down.

Don't be so pathetic, idiot.

He looks back up and is surprised when she's still staring at him intriguingly. He takes a chance and he winks at her, feeling proud of himself when he makes her look away shyly this time, not missing her small smile.

"Who's this?" Jungwoo asks before taking a hit off Yunhyeong's bong.

Yunhyeong introduces him and he takes that time to look around the room. Yeonjun starts to feel nervous knowing that not only is there alcohol here, but also drugs as he sees a couple of other people doing lines in a far corner of the room. He doesn't mind the beer, but he knows he's going to get into some serious trouble if he's caught around that other stuff.

He smiles nervously at them and Yunhyeong instructs him to sit down with them. He crosses his legs and places his half empty can beside him, not knowing what to say to them. He bites his lip as Ali takes the bong from Hendery, another of Yunhyeong's friends, and after her turn, she offers it to him.

"I think I'm good thanks."

Jaehyun pushes his shoulder playfully. "Come on, don't be a pussy."

He purses his lips and ends up taking the bong and lighter from her. He doesn't know what to do though.

"Don't tell me you haven't smoked before," Jessica laughs and he turns red when the others poke fun at him too. Ali rolls her eyes and she tells him what to do.

"Just light this little bowl on the side here and suck. Then just pull the doodad and suck in the rest. It's gonna burn the first time so just take it easy."

He nods, appreciating her help and he does what he was told and damn, was she right. The back of his throat burns and he blows out the smoke, coughing hard as he tries to catch his breath. He swallows harshly and pulls the bowl out, finishing his hit.

          

"Here, hand it over," Chanwoo says and Yeonjun reaches over to give him the bong.

He leans back, already starting to feel the effects. "Fuck," he breathes out and Ali smiles.

"Yea, Yunhyeong's older brother always gets us the good shit."

"Talking about your brother, when is he getting that other stuff?" Hendery asks and Yunhyeong shrugs, waiting for his turn.

"I don't know. I'll ask him later."

Yeonjun doesn't give any importance to what they said, feeling too light and mellow to give a shit. He hangs his head back in bliss and he's honestly glad that he went through with this.

Jimin checks himself out in the mirror, liking the way the suit fits him. Before dressing, he took a glance at the tag and almost fainted when he saw the name brand. He swears he's going to take good care of this suit or else he might just kill himself. It's too expensive to wear so carelessly so he's going to make sure to make the most of it.

     He looks at his phone and his palms grow sweaty. He's never actually been on a real date before and he just hopes he doesn't embarrass himself in front of his suitors. He also hopes that they like him. It would break his heart if they dropped him just because he didn't pass their vibe check.

     His phone buzzes and he gets up from his couch, grabbing his keys and wallet and heads out, knowing it's a text from them. He rides the elevator down and he walks out of the building, smiling shyly when he sees Yoongi and Taehyung parked by the sidewalk. The windows are rolled down and Taehyung has his arm hanging out, his expensive watch on display and his fingers decorated with rings.

     He hops in and greets them, scooting towards the middle of the backseat so it's easier to talk to and hear them both.

     "You look great sweetheart," Yoongi says, looking at him through the rear view mirror.

     Jimin smiles down at his lap. "Thank you. For the compliment and also for the fit."

"No problem. So are you excited for our date?"

Jimin chuckles. "Yea, um, I'm actually kinda nervous. It's been a long time."

Taehyung smiles. "That's cute. And you have nothing to be nervous about, unless we're the ones making you feel that way. In that case, we apologize baby."

"No it's ok, honest."
"That's good."

They arrive at the restaurant and Yoongi parks, Taehyung getting out and opening the door for Jimin before he gets the chance to. He takes his hand and the three of them walk into the establishment, the host clearly recognizing them and ushering them to their spot. Jimin just awkwardly walks beside them to their private table, smiling and thanking the waiter when he hands them the menus.

"We'll have our usual," Taehyung says and they then look at him.

"Oh, I'll have a red sangria please."

"No problem, I'll get that right out for you," the waiter says politely before walking away.

Shortly after, he returns with their drinks and gives them more time to skim through the menu before ordering.

"So tell us more about you," Yoongi says as he takes a drink of his Old Fashioned.

"Well what do you want to know?"

"Anything. What are your hobbies? Interests, ambitions? Likes, dislikes?"

"We've been busy at work lately so we haven't been able to actually talk and last we were together, we did other things," Taehyung adds with a wink.

     Jimin blushes as he remembers that night. "Well, there's not much to me I guess. I like singing and dancing, I'm actually going to uni for a performing arts degree."

     "That's really cool. I'd like to hear you sing and see you dance sometime," Yoongi says and Jimin smiles.

     "Ok."

     The waiter comes back and they finally put in their orders, going back to small talk as they wait. Jimin clears his throat as he prepares himself for his question.

     "Why me?"
     "I'm sorry?"

     "Why me? You two can have anybody, someone who isn't new to this scene. Someone who's attractive," he says the last part softly but they still hear it. Both of them reach over and grab his hands, Taehyung rubbing the top of his hand with his thumb while Yoongi gently squeezes the other.

     "You're handsome, beautiful, don't think you're not for even a second. We chose you because you caught our eye in a way no one else has. When we first saw you, it was like everything else faded into obscurity, making you the center of attention. Actually, the only other time I've felt this way was when me and Taehyung first started going out," Yoongi answers sincerely. "I don't want to pressure you, we don't want to pressure you, but we would love to get to really know you and take care of you. We want you to be in our lives. If you'll have us, that is."

     Jimin bites his lip as he thinks about what he said.

     "I just don't know what to do, I've never done this before. I'm scared that I won't be enough for you both or that you'll get bored of me. And how exactly is this going to work? I mean, won't you get jealous at all?"

     Taehyung leans back, still holding his hand. "We've thought about it and we acknowledged that there will be times where there will be jealousy. But we know that we shouldn't let that get in the way."

     "And I don't think we'll get bored of you hun," Yoongi says. "We're very much interested."

     "But you two are together. To be completely honest, I'd feel like I'm just there. You already have that connection and I would feel weird to get in the way."

     "Yes, but we want to share a connection with you as well. We've decided you're our main focus and we'll do what we can to make you feel wanted and not like an obstacle," Yoongi finishes and Jimin looks at them both, their faces filled with hope and want.

     "Ok. I want to give it a try."

     Both of the men smile and Taehyung kisses the top of his hand.

     "You have no idea how happy you've made us."
