Just For You Tae:My Best Friend Dad

He spins his phone some more and then leans back, reaching for his duffle bag. His shirt rides up, showing a fraction of his waist and a tattoo there.
Kim Taehyung/Tae
“You have tattoos?”
Jeon Jungkook/Koo
“Yeah, designed them myself a couple years ago,”
He rustles around in his bag and then sits back in his seat, a sketchpad in his lap and a pencil in his hand. I wonder if his parents knowingly let him get those too. Did they go with him? Probably. I bet they signed the waivers themselves. He didn’t even have to forge them.
Jeon Jungkook/Koo
“I’ll show you when we have a chance.”
Kim Taehyung/Tae
“Oh, that’s okay, I don’t need to see them,”
Jungkook taps the pencil on his sketchbook.
Jeon Jungkook/Koo
“Nah, I’d like to show you.”
I swallow and nod. Yeah, cool. It doesn’t need to be weird. I’m making it weird. I have a way of doing that. Probably one of the many reasons Hoseok has avoided me over the years. I embarrass him. I know it.
Speaking of, I glance down at my phone and see the texts I sent Hoseok after Jungkook invited himself on this trip.
I mean, they’re friends first. I’d never want to make things worse between us. Or between them.

Jungkook is going to come with me since you can’t make it. Is that okay?
Kim Hoseok/Hobi(Tae Son)
📩
Yeah, you guys have fun.
Kim Taehyung/Tae

I’ll let you know where we are if you and Rose want to come and hang out.

Sounds good, Dad.
And that was that. He hasn’t texted me since. Probably too consumed with his girlfriend.
Young love, I guess. I never really had that. I spent most of my teens and twenties fighting, and then there were some casual hookups after we broke up.
I’ve been unimpressed with my dating history thus far, and I don’t think it’s looking up anytime soon.
Maybe I’ll meet a hot older man on this trip and find a few seconds of satisfaction in a truck-stop bathroom
Jeon Jungkook/Koo
“Can I sketch you?”
Jungkook asks, breaking me out of my thoughts.
I glance over at him, feeling a little…shocked, I guess. I mean, why the **** would he want to sketch me? I run a hand across my buzzed head and shrug.
Kim Taehyung/Tae
"um....sure"
Jeon Jungkook/Koo
“Full disclosure, I’ve sketched you before. You’re my muse.”
My heart stops beating at that little tidbit.
Kim Taehyung/Tae
"What??Why?"
Jeon Jungkook/Koo
“Dunno,” he says, biting down on the end of the charcoal pencil and flipping his sketchbook open. “Just saw you, and bam…inspiration hit.”
I don’t know what to say about that. That’s weird, right? And a little inappropriate.
Authy 🖤
