"I don't know what to do," Jungkook sighs, placing his head in his hands. "I just feel like he's hiding stuff from me. I don't know how he feels nowadays. It's like he always puts on a facade in order to talk to me. He isn't being himself."

"Maybe try talking to him?" Namjoon suggests. "More than just talking for a few seconds. Try actually having a conversation with him about it."

Jungkook found himself seeking advice after what had happened two days ago. It isn't like anything bad happened, he liked it a lot actually. But he noticed a difference in Taehyung from the other times they've had sex. Taehyung seemed to like it more this time around. Of course, the other times they've had sex, Taehyung liked it too, but their most recent endeavor seemed to show a different side of his partner. A side that Jungkook feels like he doesn't know, that's been hidden from him.

He's asked Taehyung if anything was going on or if he needs to get something off of his chest, but he's never given a deep answer. It's always "I'm stressed with my classes" or "I had to pick up a shift at work." It's never something that Jungkook feels would be the result of his weird behavior.

"I've tried talking to him. I don't think he wants to be honest with me."

Namjoon hums, "if he feels like he can't talk to you about something, maybe you should reflect on yourself. Have you said or done anything that would make him feel like he couldn't talk to you?"

Jungkook shrugs, "I don't think so."

Namjoon smiles a bit, crossing his leg over the other. They were seated in the couple's house, though Taehyung was attending his classes right now.

"This reminds me of how Yoongi acted when he was scared to ask me about opening our relationship." He says and Jungkook looks up at him with a slight frown.

"Yoongi would always seem like he was holding back, spent a lot of time researching weird things like 'what is polyamory?' 'How do I know if I'm polyamorous?' At the time, I didn't even know what the word meant. But he had found out that he was attracted to Hoseok, someone who's not his boyfriend, and he felt awful and guilty about it. He tried to hide it thinking that it'd go away but it didn't. Then, once he started accepting it, he was scared that I would break up with him or react angrily."

"But why, though?" Jungkook asks. "Everyone knows that you'd never do anything to hurt him."

The older male nods, "yeah and Yoongi knew it too, but he thought this way because I gave him a reason to. One night, we watched this reality TV show where there was multiple people in a relationship. I had said that I would never want to be in a relationship like that because I don't want to share my partner and I said some other stuff that most likely offended him. He assumed that I wouldn't ever want to try a poly relationship so he kept his feelings hidden and never mentioned it."

Namjoon then sighs, uncrossing his legs and resting his elbows on his knees. He looks at Jungkook with sincerity. "What I'm trying to say it, maybe you don't think you've said or done anything to offend him, but you might have. He could be scared to bring it up to you."

"But what is there to hide? What is he afraid of?" Jungkook asks aloud, though mostly to himself. Namjoon answers anyway.

"Have you notice him acting strange around certain things or topics? Maybe that could help you zero in on what might be bothering him."

"The weirdest thing to me was that...when we had sex, he kept rubbing his face against my leg. He didn't really talk or say much, either. And I caught him looking at dog collars? But they looked like they were too big to be for his parents' dog."
