fight or flight, I'd rather lie

Taehyung
what the hell do you think you're doing?
since when can people I didn't invite come to the meetings I planned?

Hanbin
?
calm down first.

Taehyung
no, I won't
you owe me a fucking explanation.

Hanbin
I don't owe you much, actually
you owe me a lot more than I do.
just know that I'm doing the right thing for you as your manager.

Taehyung
sometimes you forget you're nothing without me, don't you?
you forget that your name is nothing without mine.

Hanbin
I don't
and I'm trying to protect both of our names.

Taehyung
stop doing this by forcing me to do the things I don't want to.

Hanbin
what's as normal as having your girlfriend with you at the celebration dinners?

Taehyung
If I wanted her to be with me, I would have called her.
don't meddle too much in my private.

Hanbin
Taehyung
you are someone who is famous in certain lines, even though they are not very sharp.
unfortunately, it is my job to clean up the mess you call "your private" behind your back.

Taehyung
I don't want to listen to your celebrity bullshit, believe me.
just stay out of my way.

Hanbin
you're not seeing him again, are you?

Taehyung
?

Hanbin
don't act like you don't know who I'm talking about.
Jimin.
it was just a coincidence that he was there, okay?
you know I won't accept anything other as an answer.

Taehyung
why do you ask the questions you answered yourself?

Hanbin
please
tae please don't let us to relive everything from the beginning.
both to us
and to him.

Taehyung
what you and I went through was nothing compared to what he had.

Hanbin
I know.
and that's the reason why I want to believe that you don't do it.
I want to believe that's not why you're so angry.
it wouldn't be good for him to come back to your life while you're both healing.
you know this better than anyone else.

Taehyung
I'll just pretend to believe that you're not thinking only about the explanations you have to give to the company and the money you'll get from them over me.

Hanbin
do you remember the times when you saw me not only as your manager but as your friend?
I'd really want to bring back those days if I could
the days when you didn't think that way about me, when you believed that I was always trying to do what was good for you.

Taehyung
me too
but surprise.
it turns out that you don't know what's best for me, nor do I consider you my friend anymore.

Hanbin
do you still have feelings for him?
do you still believe that being with him against all odds can be the best way?

Taehyung
do I really have the right to think about these possibilities when my hands are tied?

Hanbin
it wasn't me who tied your hands.
you know that.

Taehyung
but you also have been silent.
you shut up to have those stupid things you think are power

Hanbin
all these years I have tried to protect your efforts to carry out this name.
it was the only way.

Taehyung
I don't care about other ways
jimin was my only fair way
but you all ruined us both.

Hanbin
really?
is it just us?
you really didn't do anything to ruin you two, Taehyung?
