Tear (Love Yourself Tour - Book 2)

Chapter 10

Taehyung's POV:

We are having our first show in Canada tonight. I'm hoping it goes as well as the rest of the shows have been going. Although, I would trade that for Namjoon to just talk to me. Ever since the day I hung out with Adeline in Texas Namjoon will only talk to me if it is work related.

The other members have picked up on the strain between us. It has gotten so bad that even some of the staff have started to notice that something is going on. Adeline has definitely picked up on it.

Unfortunately, as much as I want to talk about what is going on between Namjoon and I with the other members, I can't. I promised Adeline that I wouldn't say anything until I spoke to Namjoon which is not looking likely to happen anytime in the near future.

Don't get me wrong, knowing what I know now regarding Namjoon's true relationship with Adeline I can understand why he is acting the way he is. However, if he would just stop being a stubborn ass and talk to me, he would realize that I am on his side and am not the enemy that he thinks I am. It probably doesn't help that I have been hanging out a lot with Adeline as of late. Again though, what he fails to realize is that when we get together, we are talking about him and them and her hesitations. Yesterday I finally managed to break down her remaining wall that she had up that had been holding her back. I about cried. I can't even explain how happy I was that I was able to help her see that all the things that she was worried about weren't things that they couldn't overcome. They could overcome them, and they would. Just together. It was pointless for her to worry about something that wasn't even a reality or current issue yet. I really think constant reiteration of not giving up their relationship based on what if scenarios finally took hold.

"Hey guys! Go ahead and take ten." The sound director shouted off to my right pulling me out of my thoughts as we stopped the practice for Mic Drop.

I took in a breath exhaling it thankful for the break. Even though we were doing a soft run through of our choreography we still put in effort like it was our actual concert. Well, I normally put in more effort. My mind was understandably preoccupied these days. I took in another breath holding it before exhaling as I picked up a bottle of water. As I stood up, I saw Adeline lower herself to sit on the edge of the stage and slowly made my way over to her. Out of the corner of my eye I could see Namjoon watching me. I let out an irritated sigh as I sat down next to Adeline.

"Hey."

"Hey."

We sat in silence as I watched the rest of the guys. Jimin had just started running after Hoseok who had pulled Jimin's hoodie strings together closing his hood around his face before making a run for it. Jungkook was recording the whole thing while Seokjin and Yoongi looked on amused, and Namjoon, well Namjoon just stared at Adeline and me.

"Have you been able to talk to him?" Adeline asked as she took pictures of Jimin chasing Hoseok with a grin.

"I've tried but he won't talk to me." I said as I leaned back onto my forearms to look up at the sky.

"I hate this."

I pulled my gaze from the sky to look at her to see her lowering her camera only to turn to me with a frown.

"I know." I said meeting her gaze.

"Do you think that maybe I should try talking to him?" She asked searching my eyes.

I wasn't sure if it would help or not when I thought about it honestly.

"Maybe." I mused with a shrug.

She sighed and her shoulders slumped. On instinct I sat up and started to rub her back to comfort her. When I looked up, I saw Namjoon's eyes narrow before he shook his head and turned away walking off towards the main stage. Adeline must have seen it too because in an instant she was up and walking in the direction that he had left in. I quickly followed and saw that Namjoon had already disappeared behind the curtain of the main stage before she had made it to the main stage. I jogged catching up to her just as she walked behind the curtain.
