Taehyung is in love with Yoongi. He loves the way he silently cares. He loves how their relationship is easy, organic. He loves that Yoongi gets Taehyung's randomness. Taehyung is a random person.

"Hey, sorry. Can you help me get that green box of pasta up there, please?"

Taehyung blinks himself out of his trance and looks at the guy next to him. Taehyung knows this guy. He knows he knows this guy. Lithe body, plump lips, heavy-lidded eyes, pink hair. Small. So small, he can't reach the top shelf.

Taehyung gets the box down for him.

"Thanks." The guy turns to leave, stops, then comes back to Taehyung. "You know, you seem kind of overwhelmed by the sauce selection," he says, pointing at the many choices of Alfredo sauce displayed on the shelves.

"I am." He really is. Why are there so many?

"They're all shitty. You should just make one from scratch." The guy smiles innocently. "Just saying."

"I can't cook for shit."

"Oh. That's unfortunate."

The guy still looks so familiar. Taehyung can't shake it off, so he asks, "Do we know each other?"

"I don't think so." He frowns, then bites his lip. "Trust me, cutie, I would've remembered that." He gestures to Taehyung's body suggestively, and Taehyung is still confused. "I'm on Instagram a lot," the guy explains. "That's probably where you saw me."

Oh. That's it. That's Jimin. Jimin the Instagram babe. Yoongi's Jimin. The pink hair should've rung a bell.

"I think you're my boyfriend's boyfriend," Taehyung blurts out.

For a moment, Jimin is stunned, mouth open. He closes it, smiles a playful smile, and asks, "Oh? Which one?"

"How many boyfriends do you have?" Taehyung asks because he's curious now.

"Officially? Three."

Wow. "Wow. "

"I know. I'm everyone's boyfriend's boyfriend." He looks smug about it.

"I'm Yoongi's—"

"Oh. You're Taehyung!" Jimin cuts excitedly. "Photography wizard Taehyung?"

"I guess that's me." Taehyung shrugs, bashful.

"Yoongi has been showing me some of your work," Jimin says. "You actually make Yoongi look good on pictures. He doesn't look like he wants to die at all. That's magic right there."

Taehyung laughs at that. "Oh, I mostly trade sexual favours to get him on board, you see? Not magic, just sex."

It hits him then that it's probably not appropriate for him to joke about his intimate relationship in front of Yoongi's other boyfriend in the middle of the pasta aisle at the grocery store. Oh, well.

Surprisingly, Jimin just laughs. It's a nice loud laugh. "I also heard you sing on some of Yoongi's recent tracks. You've got an awesome bedroom voice."

Taehyung is not good at the whole normal human interaction thing, but he's pretty sure Jimin is flirting with him now. "Thanks." He rubs the back of his head.

"I'm Jimin, by the way, but you knew that already."

"Nice to meet you, Jimin."

Jimin smiles kindly. "Do you want to go for a drink?"

Taehyung would love that. "I'm sorry. I actually have a date with Yoongi." Then, Taehyung has an idea. The best idea. "You should come."

"What?"

"You should come to our date. He's your boyfriend too."

"Nah, it's okay, Taehyung," Jimin replies, still smiling. "I know how busy he is these days with the album release and everything. You should enjoy your alone time with him."

"Sounds like a perfect occasion for you to see him too. I don't mind, really. I like to share."

It makes Jimin burst into giggles. Taehyung wants to hear more of it.

"I invited him to eat at my place. That's what the pasta aisle is about." Taehyung gestures to the offending jars of Alfredo sauce. "You could show me how to cook homemade sauce? What do you say?" He's insisting.

To Taehyung's delight, Jimin agrees. They quickly resume their shopping together, get everything they'll need to cook for Yoongi, and head to Taehyung's apartment. Jimin's cheeks redden in the cold air during the walk home. Taehyung wishes he could take a picture.

Soon, they push through the front door of Taehyung's home with their grocery bags, crossing paths with Jungkook on their way to the kitchen.

"Yo," he says to no one and everyone, a bowl of ramen steaming in his hands.

"This is my roommate, Jungkook," Taehyung tells Jimin. "Kook, this is Jimin. Yoongi's other boyfriend."

Jungkook does a tiny double take. "Right." He hesitates. "Weird harem stuff. I get it. It's cool," he says, retreating to his room. "I'll be in there. Come get me if there's any drama, okay?"

Jimin laughs again.

"He's rude, but he's a decent roommate," Taehyung says to Jungkook's defence.

"He's adorable."

"He's married to his Xbox."

"Shame."

They get to cooking after that. Taehyung wasn't joking when he said he couldn't cook, and Jimin finds out rapidly. Cooking demands too much strategizing. Taehyung is more of a gut instinct kind of guy. Fortunately, Jimin seems to know what he's doing.

Jimin is graceful and delicate where Taehyung is burly and unrefined. Taehyung understands why Yoongi would want the both of them around.

"What do you love most about Yoongi?" Taehyung asks Jimin suddenly. He really wants to know.

Jimin stops stirring the sauce for a moment. "I guess… I love the way he loves."

Taehyung has known about Jimin since the very first date he had with Yoongi three years ago. Jimin has been part of Yoongi's life since forever. Taehyung thinks it's beautiful that their relationship survived through all the changes and rough patches life brings along.

"What about you?" Jimin asks back.

"I love that he lets me be me," Taehyung simply says, then explains, "I'm weird. I don't get the rules to anything."

"No rules in love," Jimin replies with a cheeky smile.

Taehyung is charmed.

Yoongi's gruff voice suddenly carries from the front door. "Tae, I'm here."

Yoongi comes into view, and Taehyung realizes that he could've, at least, texted him to give him a heads up on the situation. Oh, well. He'll just have to wing it.

"Sorry I ran later than I thought I —" Yoongi says, then cuts himself when he sees Jimin by the stove.

"Look who I ran into at the grocery store," Taehyung exclaims cheerfully.

Yoongi hesitates. He looks a little panicked. "Is this an ambush? Are you ambushing me? I've been nothing but sincere with the both of you from the—"

"Calm down, babe," Jimin says. "We just ran into each other, and Taehyung invited me over for dinner. No need to burst a blood vessel."

"You just randomly met?" Yoongi still looks suspicious.

"We've known about the other's existence for three years. Why would we decide to meet on purpose now?" Jimin asks. He looks annoyed. Wow, this is not going well.

"I don't know. Planning for a threesome or something?" Yoongi tries nervously.

Jimin gets back to stirring the sauce with a chuckle. "You said it, not me."

"Give me a break. You're the one with four boyfriends."

Yoongi hangs his leather jacket on the bar stool. He looks exhausted. Taehyung feels bad.

Jimin continues to tease him, but with a lighter tone. "Three boyfriends," he rectifies. "Jin still insists we're just 'friends with benefits.' Like that ever worked out for anyone."

Yoongi takes a second to finally give Taehyung a kiss, rolling his eyes playfully at Jimin's rant.

Jimin looks at them over his shoulder. "Where's my kiss? I slaved for you over this," he says dramatically, pointing at the stove.

Taehyung finally decides to say something. "You know, I wouldn't be against it."

"What about, love?" Jimin asks.

"Uhm… a threesome?" Taehyung thinks it sounds casual enough.

"Aww, you're cute. Yoongi, he's so fucking cute. I want a Taehyung too," Jimin says, clutching at Yoongi's shirt in excitement.

"You're greedy," Yoongi says, smiling before going in for a kiss.

Taehyung is in love with Yoongi. He may also have a huge crush on Jimin.
