I realized that after all that research, I still had no idea what kind of music they made when I heard a noise in the hallway.

It sounded like yelling.

I looked at the clock.

I hadn't realized how much time had passed by since I started reading up on the members. It was almost dinner time.

The shouting became louder.

I got up out of my chair to go and take a look.

'I'm so sick of it!' I heard Taehyung yelling. I turned the corner and saw all of them standing in the living room.

'Alright, alright, calm down Tae, Jin didn't mean it like that,' Namjoon tried to calm the situation down. He, Taehyung, and Jin were all three standing. Jin and Taehyung were looking at each other angrily. Hobi, Jimin and Jungkook were all sitting on the couch, their facial expressions concerned. Yoongi was leaning against the wall and watching from a distance.

'You stay out of this! You are also to blame!' Taehyung said pulling his arm away from Namjoon and sneering at him.

'You're being fucking disrespectful,' Jin spat at Tae.

'I'M BEING DISRESPECTFUL?' Taehyung screamed.

This was escalating really fast.

'What's going on here?' I asked loudly. They all seemed startled by my voice as they looked over to see me walking into the room. Their startled silence only lasted a few seconds before Jin and Taehyung started shouting at me simultaneously.

This wouldn't do.

I clapped my hands twice and they immediately shut up.

'Well Jin,' Namjoon started, wanting to explain, but I shut him up by putting my finger in the air.

'All of you sit down now,' I demanded. They obeyed.

'Now, Taehyung, you are going to explain the problem to me calmly, without shouting or swearing,' I told him calmly.

'Jin never respects my opinion. Neither does Namjoon,' Taehyung said through gritted teeth.

Jin and Namjoon immediately opened their mouths to interject but I frowned at them both and they shut their mouths again.

'Why do you feel that is true?' I asked Taehyung friendly.

'Because whenever I come up with ideas for the show or the choreo or the songs, they dismiss them,' Taehyung said, an angry tear rolling over his cheek.

'I get that that must feel frustrating,' I nodded at Taehyung. He looked at me, his face almost pouting like a child.

'Jin, do you feel like there is any truth in what Taehyung is saying?' I asked Jin seriously.

Jin scoffed and looked away from me, plucking at strands of the carpet. 'We always listen to his ideas through,' Jin said dismissively.

'Listening and taking it seriously can be two very different things,' I told him knowingly. Jin turned his head to look at me.

He pressed his lips together for a second and then looked at Taehyung.

'I'm sorry Tae, it's just that we've been working so hard and so long on this show, and changing things now will confuse me,' Jin admitted.

'Maybe, you can implement Taehyungs idea for the next show?' I suggested.

Namjoon nodded slowly.

'Yea, okay,' Jin nodded.
