it was a one time thing, namjoon smiled shyly in the halls of the middle school and taehyung would bite his tongue to not say something. taehyung had never been kissed after that party, well, not until two years later.

one of taehyung's cousin was forced to bring him to his friends party. they were celebrating a 17 year olds license, by drinking....

it's there that taehyung met seokjin.  the infamous jin that drove his cousin and his friends around, the one that help all of them get into trouble.

when jin sat next to the younger, taehyung started to imagine all the scenarios he didn't want to end up in, believing jin was an asshat that would be looking for a booty call.

"not drinking" jin rose his cup towards taehyung for him to look into. indeed, jin wasn't drinking. he was enjoying a cup of bubbly strawberry soda. "you?" his index finger pressed against the soft chest of taehyung's. "don't know how to drink alcohol" he admits a bit embarrassed seeing all 15 year olds were doing drugs, sex and liquor.

"cute, let me teach you?" that's when taehyung downs a cup, it's not that high in alcohol but enough to leave a bitter taste in taehyung's tongue. he smiles proudly at jin like he just accomplished something huge.

jin's thumb runs so gently across taehyung's lip dragging it down creating tension between the two, "is there a rule over kissing the cousin of a friend?" he asks a speechless taehyung, "nah, don't think so" and he kisses taehyung. and it's taehyung's second kiss, technically, but it's so much better than joon's because he was experienced, the tongue didn't feel so weird and the tasted so differently.

"jin?"

"hm.."

"you taste like strawberries"
