As I was cooking lunch, Taehyung and Seok Woo were talking about their auditions.
"I played the saxophone since I was three and auditioned for Big Hit Entertainment in late 2011. Originally, I went to the audition to support my friend who wanted to be a trainee at Big Hit Entertainment but, ended up being the one only- V."
Seok Woo suddenly acts like he just swallowed a frog. What was so funny about Tae's story?
Seok Woo could no longer control his laughter, he burst out laughing and I stare at him wide-eyed. Tae scratches the back of his neck, expecting an explanation. My brother walks to the kitchen and makes me watch a video.
Eight seconds and both of us are laughing uncontrollably. Tae scowls at us and before we could make our unwelcomed guest uncomfortable, both of us tilt our heads and stare at Tae.
Seok Woo and I ask with a smirk, "sexy-porn-star?"

I expected Tae to laugh with us but he suddenly looks down and bites his lower lip.
"Hey, I'm sorry! I didn't mean to hurt you. I mean, everyone makes mistakes..." I say as I walk to him.
I shouldn't have joked so thoughtlessly. After all, even if he's an idol, he would still feel embarrassed after his genuine mistake became a huge joke. Aish, Seok Woo had to show this to me.
Guilt-ridden, I insist him to eat lunch with us. I know I'm such a sweetheart. *hair flip*
Stuffing his mouth with rice and homemade kimchi stew, Seok Woo says, "apparently, when you get a song stuck in your head, it's because your fated partner is singing it? just read it on insta!"
What? that makes no sense! I just ignore him and serve Tae more rice. Surprisingly, he loved my food. He also said it tasted like his grandmother's. I guess he really loved her.
I look at Tae stare at Seok Woo in disbelief. Please don't tell me he believes is this bullshit.
"But why would Chae Young sing baby shark at three am for the past one week?" Tae questions.
Omfg! Seriously Baby Shark? W0W!
I mentally facepalm and try not to lose my cool. "Also, why would you sing Savage Love? Oh, wait! even BTS sang it with Jason Derulo. Shit, this is true?"
Wait, what did I just blurt out? Seok Woo wriggles his eyebrows and smiles ear to ear.
"But I clearly said 'fated partner'! how come both of you-" I cut Seok Woo by placing a hand over his mouth and gulp nervously.
Tae looks at both of us fighting with his super cute, adorable, drool-worthy boxy smile and chuckles. I smack Seok Woo's back and hiss at him.
Can't believe both of us thought we were soulmates! What am I? an alien? Dating this lunatic would be the same as dating a puppy, cute but stupid.
"And on an unrelated note, hyung please be careful while talking to my sister. She's the most dirty-minded human I've ever seen! One can easily say by the kind of songs she listens to..." Seok Woo whispers into Tae's ears.
"And on another unrelated note, you're being super loud Seok Woo! Guess, you'll do the dishes today!" I exclaim, mentally planning another murder.
As we walk Tae out to the parking lot, his smile slowly fades.
"Thanks a lot, Chae Young and Seok Woo. I really wanted to eat a meal with my family, and I guess my wish was finally fulfilled," Tae says as he gets in his car.
As Tae leaves the apartment complex, Seok Woo says, "no matter how happy and successful he looks, a part of him is so lonely and tired of the attention. I wish we could comfort him."
True. But, little did my brother know that's how I feel too. No matter how savage and rude I might be, I'm still insecure about my looks and I want to be wanted. I can't just spend the rest of my life taking care of Seok Woo by suppressing my own needs.
I turn on the pc and stare at the blank resume that I'll soon be sending to Big Hit entertainment. The only thing I want in my life is a job in an entertainment company as a light engineer.
Filling the specifications, I hear Seok Woo scream my name. I rush out of my room and search for him.
I see him standing with a brown wallet. When did he buy a new wallet?
"Is this why you called me? To show your new wallet?" I ask and turn back to go to my room.
"It's Taehyungs! He'll probably come here tomorrow-" I cut him with a super loud "never" and sit on the sofa with a sigh.
