Wait

Unwanted

Morning came too early for Taehyung. Laughter and faint shouts echoed outside his room, they hadn't bothered to wake him up? Sitting up groggily, he rubbed his eyes assuming his roommate Jimin would still be asleep since he usually slept later. To Taehyung's surprise, the red head's bed was already cold and made up. Frowning, he pulled himself out of bed and stumbled to the bathroom to wash up. Every other member was up and eating breakfast, but no one bothered to wake him? He couldn't shake the heart ache that gripped him, feeling unwanted was miserable.

Washing up and getting dressed for rehearsals had never been taken so much effort. Even the smallest move made Taehyung wince from slight pain and exhaustion. It wasn't normal to feel like that after a small stomach bug.. Right? Shaking the thoughts off he headed out into the living room to be greeted by all of his members sitting around. Nearly everyone stood and headed to the door silently, except for Jimin who mumbled under his breath "took you long enough" before walking ahead of Taehyung to catch up with Hoseok.

Taehyung thought the walk to the studio would never end. All of the other members laughed and talked amongst themselves as if Taehyung had simply vanished. He'd never felt so unwanted in his entire life, he couldn't stop thinking over his recent actions in an attempt to determine what he'd done to make them suddenly hate him. Just then realization hit him. They'd always hated him right? He was only aware of it now. His mind raced as he thought back through the years, every sly comment he'd thought was a joke at the time and he suddenly felt like running away. His head throbbed, and more sharp pains shot through his stomach as he struggled to keep up with the group.

Once they finally reached the studio, Taehyung practically ran to the far corner of the room to stretch alone. Sitting down with his legs spread out he leaned forward to touch his toes, wincing at the discomfort it caused to his stomach. Suddenly there was a weight leaning on his back, Hoseok was sprawled over Taehyung to push him closer to his toes. Pain ripped across his torso, worse than it had been before, and Taehyung snapped. He pushed Hoseok off with a stern gaze, voicing out his irritation louder than necessary "yah leave me alone!" Taehyung could feel everyone's gaze on him, and he immediately looked at the ground as Hoseok growled "I'm older than you punk. Show some respect" Taehyung glanced up at the dancer to see anger written across his hyung's face, and another emotion in his eyes that Taehyung couldn't quiet read. Mumbling quietly, Taehyung apologized "sorry hyung. It won't happen again.." Then he was left alone to stretch, unsure of if it was a good or a bad thing.
