"Soobin, can you please tell Taehyung to get inside the recording room? We need to go on air in like five minutes." Jungkook tells Soobin who is sitting on his desk which is beside Taehyung's. This is the third day since this is happening. Since Jungkook knows that Taehyung will not to talk to him right now, he says whatever he has to say to Soobin and tells him to tell the younger.

"It's already the third day. What's wrong with you two?" Soobin slides his chair closer to Taehyung's and asks him. When the other shakes his head, Soobin furrows his eyebrows, "It doesn't seem like nothing to me. Why aren't you both talking to each other directly? Did you both fight or something?"

"Umm... I kind of told him I need time to think about stuff and I might have distanced myself from him." Taehyung says. He really wanted to talk to someone but he couldn't talk to his brother and Yoongi because they would get worried. Namjoon and Hoseok were not an option too because then he would have to tell them the cause and Jimin is out of the picture because he doesn't want his best friend to know that he already told someone about the issue he wasn't supposed to talk about.

"What? Why would you do that?" Soobin whisper-yells at him.

"Just some difference of opinion happened." Taehyung sighs realizing that he can't even talk to Soobin about it because if he wants to tell someone about this, they would ask why and Taehyung can't think about a good enough lie.

"Two minutes to go on air. Soobin, didn't you tell him?" Jungkook shouts from the other side of the room.

"Sorry, sunbae-nim. Taehyung, go inside. Let's talk later." Soobin tells him. Taehyung nods and goes inside. After they are done with the broadcast, Taehyung stares at Jungkook who is busy with his laptop. The younger has been thinking about what Yoongi said a lot and he even received an email from The HYBE Corporation regarding the talent hunt show this morning. As much as Taehyung felt motivated the last night, he suddenly doesn't know if he should participate or not. Well, he's just nervous and all this feels unreal to him. He wants to tell Jungkook about it and he wants the older to tell him that he should do it and encourage him.

Am I being selfish by not talking to him? I really should talk to him.

So he walks behind Jungkook and stands there. He doesn't say anything hoping that his mere presence makes Jungkook look at him like always but well, it doesn't happen this time. Even though the ravenette knows that Taehyung is standing behind him, he chooses to not turn around. He wants the younger to talk to him first. Now don't think it's because he has some attitude problem, it's just that Taehyung chose not to talk to him and ignored him. This has hurt Jungkook as well. All he wanted to do was talk to the younger and clear whatever the problem is.

"Umm... Hey Jungkook?" Taehyung calls hesitantly. Jungkook just hums without looking at him and Taehyung feels bad about it. He wants the older to look at him. It's funny how Taehyung ignored him but when Jungkook is doing the same thing, he can't take it.

"What are you d-doing?" Taehyung asks.

"Nothing that concerns you." Jungkook says coldly, without looking at him again and Taehyung would be lying if he says he isn't hurt. But he knows instead of ignoring the ravenette, he should have talked everything out with him. After all communication is the key, right?

"D-Do you want to... hang out later?" Taehyung fiddles with his fingers and looks down.

"No, I'm busy."

"Are you really? Or are you just saying that to avoid me?" Taehyung asks getting a little irritated by the older's behavior.

"No, why would I avoid you? After all, Taehyung, you did nothing wrong." Jungkook says finally turning around in his seat and then looking at Taehyung. The younger can see hurt in the ravenette's eyes and that instantly makes him feel guilty. Those beautiful, bambi eyes deserve the sparkle of happiness in them and not any hint of sadness.
