Author's POV:

"... Is it because of Yoongi?"
Yoongi, who was still listening, was surprised.

"You're too gentle." Said Soonyoung.
"What?" Hoseok coughed and asked.
"You're too mild-mannered, that's why Yoongi always does whatever he wants."
He gestured towards his wound and continued.
"You're always taking care of how others feel. That's why people around you tend to forget to consider your feelings. It's easy for those around you to only think for themselves. What you need is someone who will take care of your feelings."

Hoseok stared at him. He was dumbfounded.
"Uh..."
"Thanks for comforting me."
He patted his shoulder.
"Thank you, really." He said and left.
'I'm not comforting you. If only you would just look at me...'
Soonyoung thought as he saw him leaving. The next thing he saw was Yoongi coming in front of him from nowhere and striking his face hard enough for him lose his balance and fall.

The moment he looked up, he was met with Yoongi's eyes glaring at him.
"I'm that person who only thinks for himself?" Yoongi said.
Soonyoung sprang up and punched him in the face and yelled.
"Yes! I am talking about you! You're taking advantage of the fact that he'll tolerate whatever shit you do! How self-centered!"
Yoongi grabbed his shirt. "You picked that specific time for the appointment, right? How despicable!"
"Despicable? Me?" He smirked.
"You knew he was coming over to help me move. But you still came! You think you're the decent one here?"
"Fuck!" Yoongi pushed him aside and went away.
"Tsk. Damn it." Soonyoung glared at him.

(Entrance to the office)

Yoongi was about to walk in when he noticed Hoseok standing near the window and staring outside. He hid outside the door, what Soonyoung said to Hoseok coming to his mind.

He turned away and was met by Namjoon walking towards him.
"Yoongi? What happened to your face?"
"It's nothing." He stopped for a moment.
"I need your help."
"Huh?"

(Choi Corporation)

"Oh my, it's Hoseokie~ You came!"
Hoseok was greeted by miss Choi. He went there to submit the proposal documents of their studio.
"Just put the documents on the desk, hold on a moment..." She went to talk about some matter to her staff.
....
An hour ago

"This is for president Choi, they need this quite urgently. Please help me bring this to them."
Namjoon said to Hoseok while he went through the documents.
"Did Yoongi ask you to do this, or was it just you?"
"Ah? What's wrong?"
"Don't worry about it, I'll head there now."
"Okay, bye~"
....

'Did he send me off on purpose? Is it because he didn't want to see me?'
Hoseok's eyes grew sad and he wasn't hearing what was being said to him.
"Thank you for coming all the way to deliver it~"
Miss Choi approached and said to him but didn't get an answer.
"Hoseok?"
He came out of his thoughts and said.
"Um, sorry, what did you say?"
"Hm~ Work is done for the day."
She picked up her jacket from the chair.
"Do you have time to grab a drink with me?"

Meanwhile....

Soonyoung's POV:

I came down in the studio after the fight with Yoongi and I heared two workers gossiping about something...

"Do you know we will be working with Pledis studio on the fitness park project?"
"Huh? Really?"
"I heard it from the project management department."
"Isn't that... Vernon's company?"
"Yeah they're still gonna work with each other after that huge plagiarism scandal blew up? Impressive..."
"I heard that Yoongi and Vernon were in a relationship in the past?"
"Why would they collaborate otherwise? Perhaps they got back together again. Come to think of it, I haven't seen him date any girls before..."

Ooh... So that's why Yoongi turned Vernon down when came here to meet him.

"That's enough. We shouldn't talk about these things in the office..."
"What are you scared of? It's just between us ~"

I just pretended to casually pass by them and went over to a secluded area.
I have an idea in my mind.
I searched up Pledis studio's details and dialled the number on the website.

"Hello, Pledis design studio."

"Hello, I would like to talk to Vernon."

"Do you have an appointment?"

"Tell him, I'm from Big Hit studio... A 'close' friend of Yoongi."
