A Colourful Comic about the relationship development of Taehyung and his friends (who are together), Yoongi and Jungkook
Page 1:
Read from left to right, Taehyung narrates the story through the panels. "Since the day they asked me out… their words never left my mind. I couldn't believe it. I couldn't trust them like that. I didn't trust anyone. It felt like a lie but they were serious about it."
The page opens with a view of tree leaves. And then shows us the trio in the middle of a conversation. Yoongi stands a little behind Jungkook, with his hand placed reassuringly on Jungkooks shoulder in support. We see Taehyung from the back with his arms crossed over his chest as a comfort/protection.
Jungkook asks, "Would you like to go on a date with us? We like you a lot, Taehyung". Yoongi continues,"There's no pressure though, Tae. We just wanted to let you know and ask."
Taehyung responds, "Oh, I- I can't…" Taehyung backs away with his arms raised. "Let's just stay friends. Thank you but no… dates. I can't do that."
Yoongi holds Jungkooks hand and Jungkook understands. "Oh- okay, Tae!". Taehyung starts to walk away and looks over his shoulder as Yoongi and Jungkook leave too. "See you later!", yells Jungkook with a wave.
Taehyung's appearance: Honey Blonde fluffy hair, brown eyes, a light blue T-shirt with specks of cream all across it, dark green pants and black converse. On his shoulder he has a portfolio case.
Jungkook's apperance: Dark brown fluffy hair with parted bangs, brown eyes, he has all of his silver piercings. He wears a grey hoodie and sweatpants and black trainers.
Yoongi's appearance: Dark brown shirt hair, brown hair. A light grey T-shirt and black shorts with black trainers. He has a black backpack on.

Taehyung's narration: "Somehow, those two wormed their way in. They fit themselves into my life. And they always kept a space for me."
A little bit of time has passed. Yoongi stands beside Tae as they speak to each other. Yoongi apologises to Tae for making him uncomfortable the other day but Tae says, "it's fine. Please just…" "We get it Tae. We promise", says Yoongi.
Jungkook approaches Yoongi and places a little kiss on his cheek. Yoongi says, "So! Wanna hang out with us tonight? Jung look said some movie is finally available for us to watch at home." Jungkook responds, "yeah!! The one about the guy who gets cloned over and over-". Tae agrees.
A panel shows Yoongi holding a dark green, tartan blanket just for Tae. "We washed your blanket yesterday. Smells good right? Bun got a new scent spray and wanted your blanket to be first."
JK calls out, "it smells amazing and doesn't hurt my nose now!". Taehyung is a little taken aback by this small thing they have done just for him and whispers, "I could have just taken it home, hyung." YG says, "Nonsense. This one stays here for when you visit us."
JK enters the sitting room and gives Tae a warm cup of tea. He explains, "One chamomile tea for Tete hyung! Hyung remembered to pick it up when we were shopping!". Tae sees how sweet they are to him with even the smallest thing. "Thank you. But neither of you drink it?". Jungkook says as if it's the most obvious thing, "So? You do!".
The final panel shows the trio sitting on JK and YG’s couch as they watch a show off screen. Tae sits to the right and JK lays across Yoongi's lap with his legs up. They all converse which makes Tae smile in secret.
"I would suit a beard like that", suggests Yoongi.
"No you would not, hyung. Now! Taehyung? He looks sexy YG facial hair", JK replies it's a laugh. Yoongi shouts Hey! As if he is offended (not really).
"Mmm. I do", Tae agrees. "You're too pretty for facial hair right now, hyung."
“I hate you both!”, says YG.
Page 3:
Time has skipped and it is later in the night. Yoongi starts to head to bed and wished them both a good night and tells Taehyung that he should stay the night. Taehyung sighs and then it is just him and Jungkook left alone. Thoughts run through his mind and he decides to ask Jungkook about his love for Yoongi. He bites his nail out of anxiousness.
"Jungkook… how do you know you love Yoongi?"
Panels show Jungkook's smile as he details his love and relationship between him and Yoongi. A strong look of love and tenderness is on his face.
"It's not about knowing for me… it's how I feel. How I've always felt about him. Overtime, I could feel my love for him growing. It's strong, passionate! I don't only feel love in a romantic sense for him. I've loved him in multiple ways through out my life."
"My love for Yoongi is deep. As a friend and a person who I trust. That's what my love with Yoongi is. It's an experience. A freedom with the one person, I feel most comfortable with."
Taehyung questions, "Then why did you tell me you liked me? If this is how you feel?"
"We have been feeling this love for you for a long time now, Tae. I don't want you to be scared by it but we wanted you to, at least, know."
"It's all confusing, Jungkook… I'm gonna go, I'm sorry.", Taehyung says as he stands up to leave. Jungkook looks at him with a sad expression. "Wait, Tae. Please", he pleads shakily.
Taehyung's appearance: Honey Blonde fluffy hair, brown eyes, a light blue T-shirt with specks of cream all across it, dark green pants and black converse. On his shoulder he has a portfolio case.
Jungkook's apperance: Dark brown fluffy hair with parted bangs, brown eyes, he has all of his silver piercings. He wears a grey hoodie and sweatpants and black trainers.
Yoongi's appearance: Dark brown shirt hair, brown hair. A light grey T-shirt and black shorts with black trainers.
Page 4:
Taehyung's narration: "Yoongi had a good answer too. Why did I struggle with all of this? It was overwhelming. I never wanted to be in a relationship. But they were too good. They wouldn't lie to me."
Tae and YG meet up at a restaurant to talk. Tae asks YG a similar question as he did to JK.
YG eats a bowl of ramen and gives Tae his own answer. "I was frightened by it. When I realised I was falling in love with him in a way that was completely new? I crumbled. I didn't want to tell him. I couldn't lose him. Jungkook's perspective. He's got a big heart and worries about others before himself".
A smile spreads across YG’s face as he speaks about JK. "He was made to be loved. And I wanted to show him how much he deserves. My love is selfish and pure. He's my best friend and the love of my life. I don't regret it. I cherish every YG thing."
Tae looks at YG with confusion and frustration, "So why did you say you-"
"Liked you? 'Same reason. I'm selfish. Jungkook wanted to give it to you a little easier but we both feel deep love for you as well, Taehyung."
Tae pushes his chair back making it screech. "You can't be serious…"
"I'm incredibly serious. I don't joke about this stuff".
Tae’s eyes widen and he questions YG again. "How can you love me when you barely know me?"
"That's not true. Do I know all of you? No. Do I want to? Yes. I've fallen in love it's what I've seen so far."
The last panels show bubbles that indicate tension, confusion, an overwhelming feeling over Tae as they continue.
"Being friends can be enough for us but like I said, selfishness. I want to love you more than I already do. I want to know everything about you," says YG.
"Stop."
"We know how much you've been hurt in the past, Tae. But that isn't us."
"I can't do this, Yoongi." Tae leaves.
Tae’s appearance: Honey Blonde hair, a light cream shirt that is tie dyed with blue. Blue jeans. And grey shoes.
YG’s appearance: Dark brown hair, a light grey shirt with an FG logo.
