[tae & j-hope]

j-hope: man, what the hell is wrong with you?

tae: what are you talking about?

j-hope: im talking about the fact you totally stopped talking to maggie.

tae: oh, that

j-hope: dont pull that nonchalant bs with me. I've been your friend for years. im not blind. i saw how you two texted; I saw how you smiled at her messages; i saw how you dropped everything you were doing to help her. how many times have you gotten up at 5 am just to ask her how school was? huh? how many, tae?

tae: enough.

j-hope: exactly, so why the hell would you just ignore her. What are you so scared of?

tae: you already know

j-hope: what? That you never told her we were idols despite her knowing us for 6 months by now?

tae: there, you know

j-hope: why didn't you just tell her?

tae: because i didn't want her to look at me differently. i wanted someone to see me as a normal person for once! not some pretty boy who could dance and sing. and it worked hobi, it worked. maggie saw us as us, not just a group of people on a screen

j-hope: stop being so self-righteous and see what right in front of you!

tae: and what would that be

j-hope: without the title of BTS, we're a bunch of nobodies who can sing. BTS isnt some side project of our lives, it's made us what we are today. the push the universe gave to make us all idols is the same push that made Maggie click the wrong username and text you on accident.

tae: you're right

tae: but it's too late to go back and change that

j-hope: so come clean

tae: I CANT. DONT YOU THINK I WOULDVE IF I COULD?

j-hope: why not

tae: this is going to sound so childish, but it's the mere fact of how she'll react. why can't you tell her?

j-hope: i wasn't the one knowingly keeping the secret

tae: hobi, i just cant

tae: I've seen maggie cry before, hobi. it's the worst thing in the world. she deserves to be happy

j-hope: so what the hell are you going to do? stop talking to her? Tae, that girl only uses the group chat anymore in hopes you'll respond or to check make sure you haven't off'd yourself. ignoring her is only hurting her more. she knows something's up by now; she knows you're hiding something, so why are you delaying what will happen no matter what? the universe will make sure maggie finds out some way

tae: fine. Whatever hobi, i'll do it. Just, when i do, I know she'll never want to talk to me (at least for a while) which is understandable, - I haven't exactly showed i trusted her - please make sure she's okay. take over for me until i can talk to her again. make sure she doesn't cry, i will never be worth her tears.

j-hope: ok
