It was very tense to say the least during their weekly meeting. Namjoon gulped softly looking at the table "so Uh how should we start off?" He asked briefly glancing around at the boys. Yoongi rolled his eyes looking at Jungkook who shrugged and blushed softly when Namjoon glanced at him which only caused Jimin anger evident by his expression. Jin seemed genuinely upset whenever he looked at Tae but angry looking at anything else. The only normal one was Hoseok who was oblivious.

"Well my class made it to finals and they may be giving me a raise because I've been so loyal these past five years" Hoseok told Namjoon with a proud grin. Namjoon clapped him on the back "that's amazing Hobi. I'm really happy for you. Maybe one day we can all go out watch one of the performances" he smiled.

"That would be awesome" he said excitedly looking around at the other boys who gave him half hearted smiles except for Tae who grinned widely. Jins quick eye movements going back and forth between the two before he set his evil glare towards Hoseok.

"You good Jinnie?" Hoseok asked still light heartedly "do you not feel good?"

"I'm perfectly fine" he spat out.

"Are you hungry?" He tried again.

"Goddamn it I'm fine leave me alone" he snapped.

Jimin who had caught on to what Jin was suggesting widened his eyes and looked at Tae and Hoseok then at Jin who stared back at Jimin. "What about you Jungkook?" Namjoon asked knowing the boy would at least reply to him.

"Um school" he said shrugging refusing to look up and nervously picked at his nails.

"Have you picked what you want to major in?" Namjoon asked and the boy shook his head. "Well you still have time... Jin?"

He watched the eldest standing up faking a smile at their leader "I just have a headache"

"Alright well I'll check on you later" he said watching the elder leave.

"Ok what is going on with everyone I'm so confused and everyone hates everyone or what?" Hoseok asked looking around at everyone.

"Jimin and Namjoon are fucking. Jungkook kissed Jimin. And for some reason the kid is a blushing fool right now. Jin is hopelessly in love with Tae and I don't even fucking know anymore but something is off" Yoongi said counting the items off his fingers.

"Yoongi" Joon groaned rubbing his head "just stop please you're making everything worse. Jimin and I are not in that sort of relationship. Jungkook did kiss Jimin but has since apologized for it. And Jin probably is hopelessly in love with Tae but I also thought he loved Hoseok" Namjoon said.

Tae blushed hard as he looked at the floor thinking about everything that had just been said. "I'm gonna go to work early" he muttered standing up scraping the chair legs with a nervous chuckle.

"Me too" Jimin said standing up.

"I'm going to work" Yoongi said nudging Jungkook's shoulder "come on you're coming with me. Free pizza and WiFi" he said wanting him to be out of the tense atmosphere for a while which Namjoon's eyes conveyed when he glanced at Yoongi nodding.

"And then there were two" Hoseok said awkwardly before turning to Namjoon who had his shoulders slumped down at bit as he stared at the floor between his knees.

"Hoseok can you go check on Jin make sure he's really ok?" He asked softly.

The older boy sputtered shaking his hands his face turning red "how am I supposed to go in there when you tell me he has a crush on me and looked at me like he wanted to kill me not too long ago??" He screeched clearly embarrassed by his rosy cheeks.

"Fine" Namjoon said standing "will you make supper then please?" He asked looking at his friend who nodded. Namjoon smiled tiredly and made his way to the eldest's room. He knocked softly and opened the door looking around before spotting him at a little desk working on sketches of outfits for Jimin and Tae.

"Jin" he said softly shutting the door watching the eldest turn around to stare at him. "Talk to me" he said sitting on Hoseok's bed. Yoongi's was in the closet since he needed space so only two beds were out.

"There is nothing to talk about. It just seems like everything you've worked for is crumbling" he said with a shrug.

"It might be like this because people refuse to say what they are feeling" Namjoon remarked.

"Tae" Jimin breathed out softly standing under the spray of the shower shielding his friend from the pelting droplets as he had diligently worked on his knees for the shorter blonde.

Taehyung wiped his mouth looking up at Jimin who closed his eyes calming down before he grabbed his arm pulling him up. "Didn't know you could do it that well" he asked with a giggle.

Tae shrugged softly with the hint of a tiny laugh as Jimin reached up washing his hair. Having to get on his tip toes when Tae stood straighter. "Stop" Jimin whined as he helped clean his friend.

Taehyung's smiled gripping his wrists tenderly and pulling them down "you are flustered" he said poking his red cheeks.

"I am not!" He whisper yelled "it's the steam" he said feeling his ears burn.

Taehyung crackled and let go of the smaller who began washing his own body. "Hurry up we have to get to work soon" he grumbled rinsing off.

"I don't want to" Taehyung whined since it was a Wednesday and in the middle of the day and they would get shit for money. He grabbed his friends shoulders "let's call in sick" he said calmly.

"No we need the money and I don't want to say here" Jimin said softly "everyone is walking on eggshells"

"True"
