Chapter Text
They'd been on the road for what felt like an eternity. The last two tour dates were hundreds of miles apart, and stormy weather had grounded all flights. Refusing to disappoint their fans, they had taken to the road to complete the final leg of their journey. This had led to the seven of them being crammed together in a small minibus hurtling across the country.
Namjoon and Jin had nabbed the front seats, with Taehyung, Yoongi and Jimin seated together in the middle row. Jungkook and Hoseok took the final two seats in the very back.
As the drive had gone on, the conversation had slowly ceased, and a comfortable silence had fallen over the group. By their fifth hour on the road, they had all fallen into varying states of consciousness. Jimin had been resisting sleep for the past hour. Sat in between Yoongi and Taehyung, and with nothing to lean on, taking a nap wasn't really an option. As he felt his eyes droop for the third time in as many minutes, his sleep deprived mind took action.
Wriggling under Yoongi's arm, he intended on using him as a body pillow. Snuggling into his boyfriend's side, Jimin began to press sleepy kisses to the side of Yoongi's neck. As a result of Jimin's actions, Yoongi's eyes slowly blinked open. Leaning down to capture his boyfriend's lips in a kiss, Yoongi pulled Jimin closer, deepening the kiss. Lost in a world of their own, they failed to notice that this very public display of affection had caught the attention of their increasingly indignant friend, currently sat to their right. An inhuman noise escaped Taehyung's throat as he brazenly stared at the couple next to him.
'What are you doing?!' Taehyung exclaimed.
This sudden exclamation caused Yoongi to jumped up in his seat. His movement jolted Jimin back into his own seat, shoving Taehyung in the process. This went unnoticed, as he continued to shout.
'You were kissing! Why were you kissing! You shouldn't be kissing! Stop kissing!'
Hoseok grumpily spoke up from behind them. 'Yeah. They've been kissing for months now. Now stop yelling and let me sleep.'
Taehyung eyes wide in disbelief, leant forward to address the men sat in the front seats.
'Jin? Joon? Did you know about this?'
Namjoon merely shrugged. Jin swivelled round in his chair, glaring at Taehyung. 'Please put your seatbelt back on.'
Taehyung gaped at his friends, shock painted all over his face. 'Was I really the only one not to know?' He asked. A look of dawning realisation spreads over his face, and he spins round to face Jungkook.
'Did you know?'
Jungkook grinned, eyebrows raised. 'Maybe. But you know, they trust me with their secrets.'
At this last remark, Taehyung lunged over his seat, intent on grabbing Jungkook and pulling him over into the middle row. Seizing hold of Jungkook's jacket, he attempted to lift him out of his seat. In response, Jungkook began to manically beat his fists against Taehyung's forearms, laughing as he did so.
'Cut it out!' Jin shouted from the front, trying in vain to grab hold of Taehyung and return him to his seat.
In all of the madness, Jimin returned to his position cuddled into Yoongi's side. 'Shouldn't we be doing something about this? It's kind of our fault it's happening.' He whispers into Yoongi's ear, unheard by the others over the racket the Taehyung vs Jungkook fight was creating.
'Maybe. Or better idea, we could bet on it. My money's on Taehyung. He's got the height advantage, and he's all angry. That's bound to help.' Yoongi sleepily mumbles, settling back down to resume his nap.
With a glare that goes unnoticed by his boyfriend, Jimin yanks Taehyung back into his seat by the collar of his shirt.
As he landed back onto his seat with a gentle thud, Jimin attempted to placate his agitated friend. 'We didn't keep this from you intentionally. The others all found out by accident; and we were planning on telling you.'
'When?' Taehyung demands, arms crossed.
'Preferably at a time when we didn't have to be shut in an enclosed space with you afterwards.' Yoongi grumbles, clearly displeased with the level of disruption this revelation was causing.
'Not helping!' Jimin whispers through gritted teeth.
Taehyung opens his mouth, clearly to begin shouting again. Jimin cuts him off, in an attempt to bring peace and quiet back to the vehicle.
'Well now you know! And you didn't nearly get your ass beat by Yoongi for peeping at us in the shower like Jungkook did.'
A smug grin spread over Taehyung's face at this last statement.

The rest of the journey passed slowly, as Jungkook and Taehyung loudly discussed their thoughts and opinions on Yoongi and Jimin's sex life.
But Yoongi and Jimin couldn't bring themselves to care. Wrapped up in each other's love, with the support of their closest friends. Their relationship was no longer a secret. Not that it'd really ever been anyway.
