30| Epilogue

[A/N note: This is a small note before you continue to read this chapter. It was certainly a roller coaster ride and thank you. I mean it, thank you so much for all the love and support you gave this book. If anything I want to dedicate a beautiful and healed ending to this book. I hope you enjoy the ride.]

It was 5 PM, and Taehyung was out of ideas. Namjoon's voice kept ringing in his head about how he had to come up with something good enough that could change the decision of Hwasa regarding joining back the team. 

Now if this was his past self, he would've cried and just given up or run, like he always did before. But he's not the same as he used to, he knows that running away won't solve anything, and he has to face it. If anything, this is his time to prove that the decision to include him in the team is worth it. But the question was... How?

He knew that if he told Jeongguk, he would remove himself from the team as well, which he didn't want to do, and he didn't want to beg in front of Hwasa, cause this definitely won't work. Rather than begging, he chooses to show with actions. 

The classes were over and he was sitting in one of the empty lecture halls with his head down, thinking of possibly everything. He was done with his presentation, but something told him that this would not be enough to bring him back to the team. He has to do something else, something worth rethinking their decision. 

"Baby, what happened, someone bothered you?" A voice came from behind and Tae raised his head immediately. He almost forgot about the said person's existence.

"Seojoon." He got up and rushed toward him. He was about to hug him but then he stopped. Seojoon detected how Tae's expression changed as he was battling with his thoughts. He chuckled and stepped forward to engulf him in a hug. Seojoon was bigger and buffed than Jeongguk. It looked like he almost wrapped Tae in a blanket.

'But still, Jeongguk's hug is the best.' Tae thought.

"Seojoon, what a surprise, I thought you were training in your dad's company and suddenly you decided to drop here."

"Yeah, I was there, but I was getting bored and a pretty face with a pretty soul I left here that kept bothering my mind, so I can't help but decide to meet him and it seem like he is also in trouble and need help."

Tae blushed at his words. Seojoon is the definition of a gentleman. All of their previous interactions were mainly Seojoon helping him and comforting him. He once tried to thank him but he denied accepting any offer. But Tae knows he'll always be grateful for having a person like Seojoon in his life. He's like that fairy from Cinderella's story that helped her to reach the prince's ball.

"I- I don't know what to say but thank you. I- I am a bit into a situation. I am trying to figure out my way, but it feels like I keep ending in a circle. It's complicated..." Tae said with a sigh.

"Oh, I see then I guess God sent me just to help you. Tell me, what it is, I am listening." Seojoon said with a smile and sat in the chair patiently for Tae to continue.

Tae sat down and shared everything that happened, from how they were assigned the presentation to how he ditched the group session and how Hwasa and Namjoon decided to disqualify him from the team.

"You are disqualified?"

"Not permanently, I guess I still have a chance till the final presentation, 'cause after that Namjoon's going to decide the team members."

"Oh ok, I see." Seojoon seemed to dwell in some thoughts, probably thinking of a way out to help Taehyung.

"You must think how ignorant I am right, 'cause you left your position to me and I decided to ruin it like this. I am sorry, I remember my promise to you, but I never realized just a small mistake will turn out like this." Tae said with a sad smile
