Ru explained the hallway encounter with Kim Taehyung from start to finish. Not a single detail was left out. From the chill in her spine to the bandmates calling him back to the green room. Even to the way she noticed he didn't leave until she turned the corner of the hallway.

"I mean he had the nerve to speak to me like I worked for him Alexis! And then he was all like 'who told you you could leave?' in his deep ass voice." Ru continued to rattle off righteously. Seemingly trying to convince herself more so than Alexis, "I mean disrespect is where I draw the line. No man should talk to me like that!"

She felt solid so why was she regretting it? Is it because of the chill he sent up her spine? Was it because his eyes shut her thoughts down? Shake that shit off girl, she scolded herself.

Alexis stared blankly at her best friend. While it was entertaining watching her mock his voice, Alexis was surprised at Ru's response. "You're kidding me Ru.." Arms crossed to furrowed brows and a snarled nose indicated Alexis's irritation.

Plenty celebrities talked to her like she was incompetent so why was Ru so bothered? The lack of professionalism was appalling sure but he's an artist. Professionalism in musicians doesn't typically exist. "Nope. That's how I feel. What kind of-"

Alexis cut her off. ".....so, hold up, the type of man you like, who happens to be one of the most beautiful men in the world, talks to you in a dominant way, immediately attempts to claim you even when he's being called back to his band, and you get mad?!" Alexis pinched the bridge of her nose.

"Ru Day...you are so weird! That's exactly what you like!" Alexis yelled. The echo of her voice in the bathroom made her look around startling herself. "C'mon!!!"

"No!" Ru yelled. She was steadfast. Respect over desire.

"Yes!" Alexis yelled back.

"No." Ru remained calm. Okay. Stay strong.

"God damnit, yes!" Alexis yelled again to drive home her point. "Ru, you're reaching."

"Nooooo!" Whining at the same time realizing Alexis was right because he approached her exactly the way she liked. Hard and fast. She could handle the way he talked to her. Truthfully she liked that a man could get straight to the point. Being a woman with every answer, she sought out challenges in men hoping they would inspire questions she didn't know to ask.

Taehyung immediately took control from Ru. Though it wasn't forceful his tone sat deep within the pit of her stomach. Did she just meet her match and then run?

"And now, you're whining. You only do that when you know you're wrong!" Alexis paused building the bridge between his attitude in the green room with Ru's rejection. 

"Oh! And that must explain why he came in all pouty, annoyed and shit. Ha! He likes you! Oof. Yes. This is perfect." As usual the calculated mind of Alexis went to work.
