Taehyung and Yoongi had just arrived at the bar. It was almost 11 already. Taehyung knew that Jungkook will be done in a few minutes. He was in a hurry. They found Jimin, Ellie, Fay and Namjoon sitting in their usual spot whenever Jungkook sings.

"I'm sorry we're late." Yoongi apologized as he looked at Jimin. Jimin nodded his head and smiled.

"Where have you been?" Fay queried

"My brother's engagement party." Taehyung answered. Namjoon quietly cleared his throat.

"He's almost done." Jimin said.

"You think she's here because of him?" Fay asked. Taehyung and Yoongi was not sure to whom she was referring. Taehyung shifted his eyes to Jungkook. Like all the other nights, he looked happy. He realized Jungkook really loves to sing and perform. His tiredness seems to fade away whenever he steps on stage. Like the first time he watched him sing, he is glowing.

"This will be the last song for tonight. Thank you very much for listening. See you next Friday." Jungkook bowed then started to sing:

We don't talk anymore

We don't talk anymore

We don't talk anymore

Like we used to do

"Is it for her?" Ellie asked wide-eyed.

"NO. He's over her." Jimin said.

Taehyung wandered his eyes. He found Chastity, Jungkook's exgirlfriend, sitting by the bar counter. He shifted his eyes back to Jungkook. He doesn't know why, or what, but he's searching for something on his face.

Cause even after all this time, I still wonder

Why I can't move on

Just the way you did so easily

Taehyung stood up. Everyone at the table watched to know where he's going. Namjoon subtly looked at Yoongi. Yoongi shrugged his shoulders. Jimin rolled his eyes. Ellie leered and Fay snorted.

"One whiskey please." Taehyung told the bartender.

"Hey! Taehyung."

Taehyung turned "Hey."

"Chastity." She reminded him.

"I know." Taehyung smiled.

"You remembered my name? I gave you banana milk too."

Banana milk. He loves banana milk. He thought.

"You're here alone?" He asked.

"Yeah."

"Jungkook...asked you to watch him?"

Chastity shook her head. She smiled sadly.

"You don't talk anymore?"

"He doesn't...really care about me."

Taehyung pouted. "Now, why would a pretty one like you think such things." He said as he tuck strands of her hair behind her ear.

Chastity blushed.

...

"Such a flirt." Fay said, disgusted. They all saw what Taehyung did. "I thank the heavens Jungkook doesn't fall for his gimmicks."

"Because Jungkook only likes girls." Ellie said confidently.

Yoongi checked Jimin's face. He looked down and sighed under his breath.

Jungkook joined his friends once he's done. He noticed Taehyung and Chastity talking at the bar. He saw them huddled together while talking. She would often whisper on his ear and would occasionally hit him lightly while laughing. He also didn't miss the way Taehyung often brush his finger on her cheek and the way he puts his hand at the small of her back whenever she comes close to whisper. Jungkook laughed bitterly.
