After this, the next few days are packed too.
He's got a movie he's working on, a few brand campaigns, and then he has Hoseok's birthday party to plan with his friends and then attend as well as host. But he's glad everything will be over before their trip.
He's sitting in his vanity, just eating some snacks because he's feeling a little tired, when his phone rings.
A huge smile spreads across his face when he sees Jungkook's name flash across the screen before he answers. "Hey, baby."

"Hi, hyung!" Jungkook greets from the other end. "Are you busy now?"
"No, we can talk! What's up?" Taehyung says, checking his watch. "I've got a couple of minutes."
"Hyung... I have a match. A really important match, and I want you to be there." Jungkook says.

"Hyung... I have a match. A really important match, and I want you to be there." Jungkook says.
"Aw, tell me when. I'll make time." Taehyung says.
"It's on Friday." Jungkook says. "8pm. I'll text you the address of the stadium. And um, it's not a practice match. It's a real one."
"Oh, sure..." Taehyung says. "I'll be there. Don't worry!"

"Oh, sure..." Taehyung says. "I'll be there. Don't worry!"
It's like he can hear Jungkook's smile through the phone. "Thanks, hyung. Love you. I miss you already."
"You literally saw me this morning." Taehyung says. "When I drove you. To where you are right now."

Jungkook chuckles. "So what?"
Taehyung fondly rolls his eyes and bites back a smile. "Anyway, I got to go. Hyung is working extra hard so that nothing can interrupt our trip. Don't I deserve a pat on the back?"

"Yes you do." Jungkook instantly says. "You also deserve kisses. Which I will be happy to provide."
Taehyung laughs. "Don't you have football practice to focus on right now?" He teases. "Go on, go!"

"Fine!" Jungkook says, and kisses him through the phone. "Okay, I'll see you soon. Let me plan another date."
"Okay, as you say." Taehyung agrees, smiling giddily as he traces shapes on the table. "Bye. See you soon."

Taehyung ends the phone call, and smiles to himself. He gets giddy and all warm and fuzzy just thinking about Jungkook, and he can't help but already imagine and wonder how their trip is going to be.
His cheeks turn red when he thinks about them sharing a room.

Taehyung shakes the thoughts off, and thinks about this upcoming match Jungkook just invited him to. It's on Friday, he said, and Taehyung wants to make sure he's got nothing else planned that day.
He opens his calendar, confident that even if something comes up, he'll adjust.

And as he looks at that specific date, the smile is wiped off his face.
"Shit." Taehyung whispers to himself.
It's Hoseok's birthday on Friday — the same birthday he's organising and hosting a party for.
He can't ditch his friend.

He can't ditch his friend.
But he also can't go back on his word when he promised Jungkook he'd be there.
Hoseok's party starts at 6, which is quite early since Hoseok sleeps early — but that works in Taehyung's favor here.

"If I make sure everyone is on time... Two hours should be enough." Taehyung plans. "And then I can rush to Jungkookie's match. Maybe I'll miss a bit of it but I'll still be there."
But somehow, it doesn't sound good enough. Immediately, he starts stressing out.

He leans back in his chair, just hoping that somehow it all works out — because he doesn't want to disappoint either of them.
He's called then for his next shot, and with a slightly restless mind, gets up and goes back to work.

It's almost 7.45 pm. The party has been going on for over an hour and a half now, and everyone's happy, drinking, dancing or eating.
Except Taehyung. He's stressed, in a corner, thinking about how to tell Hoseok that he has to leave.

He thought of telling him the previous day but just couldn't bring himself too, seeing as Hoseok has been excited about this party for weeks.
But now that the party is already in full flow and Taehyung's done his part, he thinks now might be a good window to say it.
But now that the party is already in full flow and Taehyung's done his part, he thinks now might be a good window to say it.
And if he's completely being honest, Taehyung is tired. He's absolutely exhausted. He had work, then prepared for the party, and then partied with Hoseok.
He has no energy left. But he still wants to go to Jungkook's game.

He told Jungkook he'd be there, and his heart has been pounding just thinking about his giant disappointed eyes when he doesn't see him in the audience on time. He has to go.
Taehyung sighs, licks his lips, and approaches Hoseok.

"Hyung!" He throws his arm around Hoseok, who's a little tipsy but somehow still pulling off the best dance moves.
"Taehyung-ah!" He cheers at the top of his voice. "Oh Taetae, thank you for this party. I'm so happy! Best birthday ever."

"Yeah? You're happy?" Taehyung smiles.
"Of course!" Hoseok says. "What do you mean?"
"Hyung... You know. Jungkook has a match tonight, and—"
"What?" Hoseok's eyes go wide. "Did he invite you?"
