"Nor have we ever been"

"So Hoseok is mad at you?" Jo asked. Taehyung nodded sadly. Jo sighed and rubbed his back. "I'm sure he'll come around. He probably just needs time to cool off. Don't worry."

Jimin smiled at how calm Taehyung looked with Jo. Even though he just met her, he could see that she really cared for Taehyung. "Hey guys.." Jimin started. "Yeah?"

"Can I say something?"

"Go ahead"

"I could be wrong but I think that Hoseok is just heartbroken"

Jo had a confused expression. "Why do you think that?" She asked. Jimin hesitated before speaking. "Maybe our precious hyung has a crush on Tae." Taehyung put his hand out.

"Absolutely not. Hoseok is straight. And if he wasn't straight he still wouldn't like me. I'm his best friend and that would just be completely awkward" he told them. Jo raised an eyebrow. "Well do you like him?"

"What kind of question is that? I'm dating you. Obviously I don't like him" Taehyung protested. Jimin smirked. "Hm." "Taehyung, you don't have to deny your feelings for your friend. I'm 100% okay with you being with Hoseok" Jo stated.

"I DON'T LIKE HIM!!"

Jimin burst out laughing. "Someone is getting upset" he chuckled.

"Guys stop. This isn't funny. I'm not interested in men and definitely not Hoseok" Taehyung groaned. Jimin put an arm around his shoulder. "I know. We're just messing with you."

"How are you so cool with this? You're supposed to be my girlfriend" Taehyung said, pointing an accusing finger at Jo. "I'm just a laid back person. I'm happiest when my partner is happy" she stated nonchalantly. Jimin laughed when he saw Taehyung's facial expression that said I'm done.

"I need to talk to him."

|Hoseok|

I can't believe Taehyung accused me of making us distant. When he left, we barely spoke to each other. I always called him but he ignored me. I even sent letters yet I never got one back. He was probably too busy with Jo to communicate with his 'best friend'. Are we even best friends anymore?

Probably not.

Am I speaking to him right now?

Absolutely not.

I am completely fed up with him at this point...

Yet I still care about him.

He's still Kim Taehyung, the same guy that I've known for years and shared so many memories with. I can't just throw that all away because I'm upset. That would be real petty of me. And besides, he was being extremely clingy lately. Maybe he's trying to make up for being so cruel to me? I don't know.

I stood up from the couch and turned the T.V off. I then went to my bed and plopped down. For some strange reason I had the urge to cry. I pressed my lips into a thin line and grabbed my phone from the nightstand.

Taehyung
(28 missed calls)

He's been trying to call me? I didn't even hear my phone ring. That's weird. I was about to return his call but then remembered that I was mad at him. I shut my phone off and buried my face in my pillow. "Ugh.." I groaned. I hate that I can never stay mad at him.
