Y/N's POV:
"KT, you need to calm down," you sigh, noticing his clenched jaw and bouncing leg. He's currently glaring at Ana and Jackson, the two of them laughing and dancing together like they're best friends. 
"I'm allowed to be annoyed," he scowls, his arms crossed angrily over his chest. 
"I told you this would happen, Tae." 
He shifts his glare towards you, poking his tongue against his cheek. "Do you have to be so blunt? I already know that." 
Your heart aches seeing the pain in his eyes. Now isn't the time to play the I-told-you-so card. "Okay, I'm sorry," you frown, putting your hand on his knee. "But let's at least try to have some fun." You glance over at Jimin who's happily chatting with Sana, just the two of them. "I'm not exactly pleased with the situation either." 
His eyes follow yours towards Jimin and he exhales, relaxing his body before picking up his whiskey glass. Your eyes widen as he downs the rest of his drink like it's water. That's his fifth glass.
The fundraiser portion of the night is already over, and the real party began two hours ago. Ana's been a very popular guest tonight, being asked to dance by multiple different men, and she has happily accepted. So far she hasn't kissed or disappeared with anyone yet, but a few of them have definitely tried. 
You and Jimin have avoided each other entirely, but that's mostly because it's easier to hide the truth with no contact; not because of the fight. There's a good chance that your plan will crumble from just one interaction with him. Neither of you are any good at hiding your fondness for each other, even when you're angry. 
So far you've stayed at the table with Taehyung while Jimin has stayed at his table with Sana or Hoseok. But it looks like that's about to change as Taehyung stands up and extends his hand towards you. 
"Come on," he huffs. "I need a distraction." 
You hesitate for a second because you're not sure how Jimin will react, but you know Taehyung needs this. He can't use anyone else as a distraction because he's here with you. He's having to watch Ana flirt with other men in order to help you protect Jia. This is the least you could do for him, even if it irritates Jimin. 
This is something you wish you could've spoken to Jimin about beforehand. Right now you're not sure what boundaries can and can't be crossed. But he shut that down with his tantrum earlier. Neither of you got to talk because he stormed off. 
"Alright," you nod, grabbing Tae's hand to let him pull you to the dance floor. Once you're towards the center, he turns around and pulls you close by your hips. Your arms reach up and over his shoulders, and the boxy smile that finally spreads across his face puts your heart at ease. It's the first time in over an hour that he's smiled. 
His hands remain high enough to be respectful, and there's a couple inches still between your bodies. It's intimate but not so intimate that it should cause alarm for Jimin. He knows why you're here together. 
There's technically not supposed to be any cameras inside the building but Mr. Song told you it's best to keep things slightly believable. You and Taehyung don't have to act like a full-on couple, but you need to hang out enough and not touch other people closely. 
"You look pretty for a blobfish," KT chuckles. 
Your eyes roll and you huff, "That's the nicest thing you've said to me in weeks." 
"I can't let your head get too big," he winks, swaying your hips to the music with his. He lowers his voice as leans in a little closer. "But seriously, you look amazing tonight. Jimin's a lucky guy."
