LOVE TRIANGLE / kth. vs. jjk. [SLOW! EDITING]

23; repeat

Taehyung and I followed Bang SiHyuk CEO silently to the office as we shared glances at each other but we still tried to remain as quiet as possible. Although Bang SiHyuk CEO was something like a father to everyone of us, we sometimes were still scared of him. He's the head of BigHit entertainment after all. He rules the game.

It felt like ten minutes of walking but it were only two when we arrived the office we were heading to. Bang SiHyuk CEO held the door open for us and we quickly entered his office.

He sat down at his desk. "Do you know why I called you here?," he asked.

"I can guess why but I'm not sure," Taehyung answered.

Bang SiHyuk CEO sighed. "You two are together right?," he asked and leaned forward.

A lump formed in my throath.

Can't trainees date? I thought he was always okay with it?

I looked to Taehyung, not knowing what to do. Concerns crossed my mind but Taehyung suddenly grabbed my hand and squeezed it. "Yes, we are," he confessed and I just looked to the ground, not knowing what will happen to the two of us.

Bang SiHyuk CEO leaned back against the chair again and sighed. "You two know that I'm absolutely okay with relationships within as well as outside of the company." We nodded our heads. "But... Seoyeon, Taehyung will be busy. He's going to debut soon. As an idol. And as an idol, he musn't create scandals. You have to hide your relationship from the public. No one should know about this. Eventually, BTS will lose fans but that's not the most important for me... Taehyung won't have much time to spend with you. His schedule will be packed after his debut. He won't have time for you... are you still okay with that?," he asked.

I still looked to the ground, unable to answer.

Am I okay with that? Am I okay with Taehyung having no time for me? I bet he'll have many fangirls who'll love and admire him...

"I...yes, I'm okay with it," I answered... hesitatingly.

"Seoyeon..," Taehyung mumbled and I squeezed his hand as a response, just like he did a few seconds ago.

Bang SiHyuk CEO smiled at us before telling us that we were dismissed and could go home. He even told us to spend our time together and go eat something. Since BTS is debuting anytime soon... we'll have to use the time we have before Taehyung debuts.

We walked out of the office and got out of the training building. Taehyung and I were silent. Despite walking next to each other, no one said a word until Taehyung eventually decided to say something.

"Seoyeon...are you... really okay with that? Are you okay with me having no time for you?," he asked.

I turned my head to him, a smile plastered on my face, although... it was half faked. "I trust you."

It didn't take him too long until a smile decorated his face as well. "Let's go out then, just like he said." I nodded my head and we went to the next cafe. I ordered a cappuccino while Taehyung was going for a coke.

After we got our beverages, we left the cafe and just walked around while holding hands. I couldn't help but smile, despite having to think of all the problems our relationship could cause. I was afraid. But Taehyung still managed to make me smile.

"Say, Seoyeon... what if... I really won't be having time for you? What if this is our last time we can go out together in public?", Taehyung asked. "If you think of it... it's only three months until our debut. I will be an idol. And going out with you will cause a scandal which could cause trouble to BTS. And... sometime... you're going to debut too, right? You'll have many male fans who would be disappointed if you dated anyone."

"Taehyung..." I looked up to him but he avoided my gaze and diverted his eyes to the front. "It's not even decided if I'll get to debut. Maybe I will, maybe not. The only thing we can do is to hide our relationship from the public. We have to be careful when we meet," I said. "Don't worry about me, Taehyung. I can manage being alone for some time."

"Are you sure?" I nodded.

"Yes."

Taehyung flashed a smile at me. "Seoyeon, let's go watch a movie," he randomly said and dragged me to the cinema. I chuckled as I saw his excited expression but my face darkened after a few seconds.

The cinema, huh...

It's the same cinema Jungkook and I went to not long ago. I couldn't help but think about Jungkook. Slowly, I was getting worried about him. He didn't attend the training and evaluation today. It can't be... did something happen to him? Did he fall sick?

Or does he only want to avoid Taehyung and me?

How long will this go on?

Taehyung must be worried too. Jungkook's his friend after all. I remember how Jungkook yelled at him. He usually wouldn't do it. He was always respectful toward people who were older than him. But I guess Jungkook really was angry.

It's my fault... if only I didn't let all that happen...

"Which movie do you want to watch?," Taehyung's voice suddenly sounded.

"Y-you can decide..," I answered and he just nodded his head in response before telling the man behind the counter which movie we were going to watch. Taehyung paid for the tickets and the two of us walked to the room in which the movie was going to play in and searched for our seats.

Shortly after, a short clip told us to turn off our phones and we did as instructed. The movie finally started and I leaned back on my seat.

**

"..yeoni...Seoyeoni~," someone called out my name. I opened my eyes and looked around me, only to realize that I've fallen asleep.

"S-sorry... I didn't mean to fall asleep," I quickly apologized but Taehyung shook his head, telling me it was okay.

So events do repeat...

"You idiot, falling asleep on a date."

"I'm sorry, I didn't want to."

"Let's go," Taehyung interrupted my thoughts. I quickly shoved these memories to the back of my head and we left the cinema.

I turned my phone on again to see if someone messaged me or if I had any missed calls, and to my surprise, I had.

2 missed calls;
Jungkook, Jungkook's mom

My eyes widened.

Why did Jungkook call me? No... why did Jungkook's mom call me?

Don't tell me... something happened to Jungkook?

I quickly called Jungkook's mother back. Taehyung watched me, confused, but everything I could think of was Jungkook and I forgot about Taehyung presence for a moment.

"Hello?," a faint voice rang out of my phone. It was Jungkook's mom.

"H-hello? This is Seoyeon. D-did something happen to Jungkook or why did you call me?," I asked anxiously. My mind went blank and I didn't think of anything. It was... blank.

It took her a few seconds to respond. Her voice was shaky and really quiet, I almost didn't hear it.

"Jungkook, he... he collapsed."
