the gangs fun trip at the carnival is over and now they're back to their normal routine; practicing dances to their new album, waiting to dance with the best of their abilities if not better, at their comeback fan meetings.

"what the fuck hoseok why are you messing up so much," namjoon asks hoseok who's completely out of breath, never really getting this type of act from the brunet unless a good reason.

the unsteady breathing boy slowly walks to the wall sliding onto the floor, "i'm fine, lets just take a break please."

the rest of the members nod hesitantly and scurries out one by one for their break, jimin about to check on his friend when jeongguk takes him away.

except for two.

yoongi realising everyone is gone, not noticing taehyung, begins to walk over to the figure on the ground, secretly worrying about the younger.

"hoseokie," taehyung calls hoseok running over to him, bumping into yoongi during the process, making yoongi annoyed.

hoseok lifts his head up hearing the beautiful sound of taehyung's voice and begins to smile once he sees taehyung coming to his aid.

taehyung begins to pout looking at the sweat coming from his hyung's head.

"hyung, why are you so out of breath?" taehyung asks hoseok pulling out a handkerchief and begins to dab the sweat away from the older's face, hoseok too tired to comprehend what's happening, him would be blushing madly if he took in that the younger is this close to him.

hoseok sighs and looks away from the younger, "i have no motivation today i guess."

hoseok thinks back on their recent carnival trip, reminiscing on why he's unmotivated.

"hoseok hyung, i'll be right back i'm about to get us some cotton candy," taehyung tells hoseok leaving him with yoongi and the girls that he went to talk to.

the group of girls walk over to hoseok and yoongi having a conversation.

"oh well if it isn't jhorse, why were you clinging onto taehyung earlier? clearly he's straight," a girl laughs, him never really getting along with her since they became popular, forgetting her name.

"fanservice? you act as if you don't do it as well," hoseok shrugs, nervously laughing it off, the same girl clicking her tongue.

"in public? where no fans can be found? right, why can't you just admit you like him?" the girl with the shortest hair speaks up.

another girl rolls her eyes, with brunette long hair, "that's enough amber, he's right, you and i hug all the time, even in public, we were just holding hands before you saw taehyung."

the short blonde, presumably amber, shushes the other, "but you and i both know it meant nothing krystal," she stated before glaring back at hoseok and yoongi.

krystal bites her lip, before sighing, nodding to her friend.

"it's a shame too, taehyung is the only good looking one in the group, apart from jeongguk and jimin. i mean how can the leader even be straight up ugly it amuses me," amber laughs, before getting her hand clamped over by another girl.

"stop amber, there's no point to say anything like this, it's rude," the girl states, getting her hand slapped away from amber.

"it's not like anything could happen, we're all idols sunyoung, calm down, anyway i hate tae's stage name too, v, it's pretty stupid if you ask me," the blonde smiles telling her opinions to the angry hoseok.

yoongi tchs and grabs hoseok's hand to pull him away from the annoying girl and her group mates, when hoseok pulls away from his grip.

"why are you saying this? what you're saying about my group is so disrespectful, you're an idol too, show some respect to us," hoseok states, balling up his fists, water begging to fall from his eyes.

yoongi notices and grabs hoseok's hand again trying to pull him away as hoseok declines once again.

"what? i'm just speaking the truth, my group probably thinks the same, they most likely don't want to hurt your precious feelings," the blonde haired girl speaks up again and begins to laugh, her friends trying to make her shut up, seeing hoseok's sad expression.

"awh, i think i'm going to make hoseok cry guys, do you think i should stop before he can't hold back the tears anymore?" amber snickers, yoongi pulling hoseok away with slightly more force, not wanting to bring commotion.

"yeah, just leave with yoongi here, he obviously doesn't want you guys to be more embarrassed than you already are."

that's when yoongi speaks up, "i'm taking him away before i have to come into this petty conversation between an uptight bitch and my hobi, he doesn't deserve to hear these lies."

and with that yoongi takes hoseok away to ride some more rides without caring where taehyung was located.

as hoseok was being dragged away by a furious yoongi, hoseok could hear the girl still saying rude things about hoseok like, "that's why you can't even dance" and "and rap, why are you even in the group?" watching her group mates trying to shut her up.

hoseok stops thinking about the rude girl and looks up at taehyung, he wants to tell taehyung the truth about amber but taehyung would think he's lying, and hoseok won't tell him manager because he doesn't want to start commotion between fan wars.

taehyung helps hoseok up from the dance studio after thinking to himself whilst finishing wiping away all the sweat from his hyung.

"are you sure it isn't anything i have done?" taehyung asks worryingly that this whole thing is his fault.

"it's nothing tae, i'm fine, let's just wait for the other members to return," hoseok lies receiving a sigh and a judgmental look from yoongi sitting down.
