JK and Mingyu flirted blatantly during band practice. Tae watched them in silence. Woonwoo watched Tae with a heavy heart.
If only he could tell Tae how he feels about him...how he thinks he deserves better than picking up the messes that JK the brat makes. Woonwoo's blood boils every time Tae's eyes follow JK. Such an idiot.
He gets it though. He cares for Tae but Tae cares only for JK. Life just isn't fair.

Woonwoo's thoughts were disrupted when the snacks he ordered were delivered. He made sure to hand Tae his favorite japchae.

"Thanks, Woonwoo" Tae smiled his signature boxy smile...and made Woonwoo's day.
"Always my pleasure, Tae. By the way, I finished the song I was writing, and was hoping you and I can do a duet."
"Oh no, not me. You know I'm too scared to sing in public". Tae's honey skin turned reddish. He didn't like being the center of attention; he was perfectly fine being a supporter of the band.

"Oh come on, Tae, your baritone voice is amazing and rare. I think you should give it a try. I'm not asking you to have a concert.  Just see if you like it okay? Please?"

Tae glanced over JK's direction and saw that he's still preoccupied with Mingyu and absentmidedly replied to Wonwoo.
"I guess it couldn't hurt to listen to it. What's the title of the song you wrote?"
Woonwoo cleared his throat and said "Bittersweet"

"How did love become love?
I get close, it goes farther
Sorry I can't get closer
I'm sorry I'm like this hmm hmm~
One you and two moons

Hiding the truth, pretending I'm fine
I'm hiding in the rain always smiling
Woo I want an answer
That I don't think I can find
I want the next thing

But anything, nothing
Is like the heart of a person
Eyes meeting but hearts apart
So sweet and so bitter

If I give my hand and expect your heart
My selfishness grows to a flaw
Filling the void between us
Filling the heart with more emptiness

Touch of a season passed-by
Scеnt of a moment fill both hands
I stand still before you bеfore me
I'm okay, not okay"

Tae kept reading the lyrics over and over with only one person in mind: his Jungkookie. Why did it feel like he wrote this song for JK?

Wonwoo looked at Tae who was looking at JK.
