Summary: Taehyung should know better to make bets he may not win.

A/N: Written for Taehyung’s birthday 2021.

A/N 2: This also fills my final request of 2021, “i wish you had died” for @i-live-so-i-love

“No, no, no—” Taehyung swore loudly, tossing his controller onto the bed and crossing his arms over his chest. Namjoon laughed, his grin bright enough that it dimpled his cheek.

“You lose.”

“Come on,” Taehyung whined. “Give me one more chance. Me and Jungkook are technically tied.”

Namjoon hesitated, looking at Jungkook, who pouted. “Hey, I won fair and square.”

“And you lost once against me,” Taehyung whined.

“Honestly, the longer we argue over who is going to clean up, the messier things are going to get,” Namjoon said.

“One more game,” Taehyung pleaded. “It’s only fair.”

Jungkook groaned. “Fine. One more.”

He took the controller from Namjoon and took switched spots with him, settling onto the bed next to Taehyung.

“You know, you might have been smarter just to suggest you and me split the chores,” Jungkook said as they started another round. “That way there wouldn’t have been a chance of you losing completely.”

“Yeah, but if I beat you I don’t have to do any cleaning. Jimin and Hobi-hyung were out drinking last night,” Taehyung argued, his eyes wide as he focused on the screen. “I’m not cleaning up that mess.”

“It can’t be that bad,” Namjoon argued. He rose, sinking down to crawl under the screen’s view so he wouldn’t interrupt the two playing. He cracked open the door, sticking his head out.

“Oof,” he grunted, making a whistling noise as he sucked in through his teeth.

“That bad?” Taehyung worried. He swore softly when Jungkook’s character took the lead.

“Oh it’s… Bad,” Namjoon said. He crawled onto the bed carefully behind them. “I pity whoever loses this match.”

“It’s going to be Taehyungie-hyung,” Jungkook teased, his nose crinkling up as his thumbs pounded at the controller.

“It’s going to be Jungkook,” Taehyung responded, his teeth bared and gritted.

The two kept neck and neck as the game progressed, damage mounting for each player’s character.

Taehyung could feel his heart squeezing into his throat as the final seconds of the round clicked down and Jungkook’s points kept ticking upward. When the deep red ‘Game Over’ filled the screen, paired with a very definite ‘You are dead’ on Taehyung’s side, he swore. He looked around the room, desperate for something to blame for his loss. When he found nothing, he dropped the controller on the bed and pouted, slumping back against the headboard.

“You have an advantage,” he sulked.

“Oh? Is that so?” Jungkook asked, his mouth curling up into a smile despite Taehyung’s mood.

“You know this game better.”

“We’ve played it literally the same amount of times. If anything you and me had an advantage over Joon-hyung, who beat us both pretty squarely.”

“Beginner’s luck,” Namjoon said, shrugged. He clapped Taehyung on the knee. “Whelp. Best get to cleaning. It needs to be done before Jin-hyung comes home or he’s gonna have all of our balls as trophies.”

“Why’d you promise him we’d clean anyways?” Taehyung whined, pulling his knee out of Namjoon’s grip.

“Because he’s cleaned for us these past few weeks. He’s had a rough time lately, it’s the least we can do.”

Taehyung rolled his eyes deeply. He knew Namjoon was right, but it still sucked to lose. “Then why don’t you clean for him?”

Namjoon grinned. “I offered. “You suggested a game. The punishment always goes to the one that suggests it, don’t you know that by now?”

Taehyung curled his lip up, wanting to say something else but knowing he shouldn’t. Sulking or not, he didn’t want to start a fight with his boyfriends. “I wish you’d died,” he mumbled instead, rising from the bed. He shuffled forward, hesitating before opening the door.

The dorm was far worse than he’d imagined. There were clothes, empty bottles, and empty food containers everywhere. It would take hours to clean on his own. Taehyung groaned dramatically, slumping against the door frame.

“This is insane,” he grumbled.

“It’s a mess,” Jungkook agreed, coming up behind him. Taehyung looked over at him, his chin wrinkled in a pout that spread his mouth downward.

“You expect me to clean this whole thing by myself?”

“You lost the game.” Jungkook shrugged. He slipped past Taehyung and wandered into the kitchen, dodging piles of clothes and containers as he did. Taehyung watched him open the fridge and pull out a container of food. He stood at the counter while he ate, scrolling through his phone.

Taehyung wandered out, picking a corner of the living room (not like any was particularly cleaner than others) and beginning to clean. He glanced up from the pile of clothes he was sorting when he heard movement in the kitchen. Jungkook had finished his food and was heading back into the bedroom.

“Hey!” Taehyung wailed, stepping in front of Jungkook’s path.

Jungkook’s bottom lip jutted out, his brows rising in confusion. “Huh?” He asked, innocent written over his features.

Taehyung glared despite the urge to kiss his boyfriend’s pretty mouth. He jutted his finger toward the kitchen.

Jungkook looked back. “What? Did you want some?”

“No,” Taehyung stressed. “The mess. You left your garbage.”

Jungkook looked back again. “Ah, I guess I did.” He smiled sheepishly at Taehyung. “Sorry about that.” He turned and headed back into the kitchen, grabbing his garbage and throwing it into the can. “There. All better,” he said as he walked back.

Taehyung glared. “I really wish you’d died,” he grumbled, grabbing a pile of wrappers and heading into the kitchen with them as Jungkook headed back into their bedroom.

It felt like he’d been cleaning for hours when Taehyung heard the door open again. He glanced back, seeing Jungkook and Namjoon step out of the room.

“Did you need something?” Taehyung grumbled, carrying clothes to a growing pile he’d created for dirty laundry.

“You’ve gotten so much done,” Jungkook said in awe. He came around, taking the clothes from Taehyung’s hands. “I’ll get the rest of the laundry and get it started.”

“It looks like you still need to sweep, I’ll do that,” Namjoon said, grabbing the nearby broom. Taehyung stood still for a moment, confusion written on his face. “Wh—"

Namjoon smiled sweetly, ignoring Taehyung’s confused expression as he set to work sweeping the mess of the dorm’s kitchen. Jungkook buzzed around him, snagging clothes and other fabric items for washing.

It took Taehyung’s brain a moment to catch up. They were helping. He smiled softly, leaning on the wall for a moment to take a breath. They’d won fair and square (despite his complaints) and they were still helping.

“Thank you,” Taehyung whispered when Namjoon passed by him. Namjoon paused and turned, smiling.

“We love you.” He kissed Taehyung gently and handed him the dustpan. “Help me sweep?”

“Of course.” Taehyung headed into the kitchen with him, pausing a moment to pull Jungkook into a deep kiss as well. Jungkook smiled brightly, his nose wrinkling.

“Still wish we’d died?” He teased.

“Never,” Taehyung whispered.

lmao look at this namkook are actually probably really appealing to the gay men 😭😭😭

Gees, you think?

It's your crying emojis for me🤣🤣🤣🤣

You know that's what gay means right? An attraction to the same sex?

Of course they're gonna find these "Men" attractive if their looks match the ideal standard of masculinity in their culture!

Namkook are appealing to both gay men and the hets with their thirsty lil fat ass wanna wash on their abs asses🤣

As for V I don't know an Asian gay man who don't stan him so🤷🏽‍♀️

Shout out to Holland gay ass picturing himself as Jimin with Kim Taehyung.

The actual YN of it all for me. Lmho.

I don't know what you think gay means but that's how it usually works for most gay men and women. Well at least the ones I know.

For the Korean Male beauty standards I think Jin and V have always been that ideal standard in my opinion but more so Jin than V from what I gather.

I mean it's not hard to figure out if you look to the top Male icons in their Kdrama department.

I died when he said the men who look like Thor were the actual gay ones- AIN'T THAT THE TRUTH😂😂😂😂😂

Some tend to over compensate and vie for the 'straight look' to bamboozle the homophobes.

Gurl I had a blast with this one. Thank you

Go go boys 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I guess I'm just tired of the stereotypes of gay people. It stresses me out.

Lmho

And when BigHit sets NamkookTae aside you see why I find it sus🤣
