"N-no...that's not true. Right?" Taehyung helplessly stutters, his doubtful eyes switching from the four of us. Jin placed a hand on Taehyung's shoulder, an act of confirmation. "Oh god," Taehyung muttered and buried his head in his hands. He's a person that fools around and messes with your head, but hates being on the wrong side. Taehyung usually takes a long time accepting his faults or sometimes he finds a way to go a counter way to put all the blame on someone else. It's unfair, that's why you rarely get into fights with him.

He slowly lifted his head up, a somber look of numbness and annoyance was plastered on his face. He took a step back away from your group and went to the elevator as if nothing happened.  An awkward tension left you stuck to your feet and after a few more moments, Namjoon took a hold of Jin's arm and ambled their way to Taehyung, Jungkook did the same. They all settled in the elevator and looked up at you, you took a gulp and stepped inside.

9:47 pm

Your phone has been vibrating on the coffee table for the 9th time now, yes you've been counting. You're itching to grab it, anticipating that it was Yoongi. You wanted to talk to him, to spend more time with him but you were unable to. A sleepy Taehyung laid on the couch, his head rested on the pillow on your lap and was comfortably watching this Netflix show you all just started to binge.

After that awkward semi-fight a while ago, it was as if nothing happened. Everything's almost normal except for Jungkook's constant complaining, Taehyung's usual bubbly vibe and the undeniable tension on you. Your best friend was pretty chill in your apartment, him comfortably eating your food and resting on you - it was just like before. That made it eerier to you honestly. He wasn't like this whenever he gets angry and that bothers you that he's giving you a different reaction.

Namjoon stood up and took his car keys, remarking "Guys, my shift at the gasoline station is in the morning. We have to go now.". Smiling, Jin peeled himself off the couch and took the last brownie on the plate - taking it all in one big bite. "Thanks for the brownies" He beamed brightly and patted your head causing you to giggle. You carefully raised up from your seat, Taehyung quickly reacted to that and rolled off your lap. You gasped and reached for him but he ended up on the floor, facing you, looking very laid back and calm. He stood up and waited for everyone to exit your apartment, all of them saying goodbyes.

You walked them out of the door and turned to face Taehyung who was very quietly walking. When the murmurs of the three other boys faded, he trapped you into a hug and squeezed you tightly. His warmth was very comforting and firm - it was rare to see him this affectionate. You wrapped your small arms around him, struggling to take it all in from the broadness of his shoulders. His head buried in your neck which made him bend down further than the casual height but he doesn't seem to mind. It took a bit but he began to whisper "I'm sorry." he apologized.

You bit your lip, honestly not knowing what to say. You gently lifted your arms and lightly patted his back then continued to pull him into a friendly hug. "It's fine. Don't worry about it." You whispered to him as you let go. His tall figure towered you, you could see guilt and relief clearly as you look up at him. "You should go, it's getting late and the guys are waiting for you," you said, leading him to the elevator. "I'm sorry again Y/N for snapping at you when I didn't know the whole story." he apologized again and kept his head down low.

You two stood in front of the elevator, Taehyung pressed the down button and waited. You quietly stood next to him and the heavy weight on your shoulders gradually lifted up. You heard the 'ting' sound and the elevator opened. Taehyung took a step forward but stopped between the doors. "Maybe I acted that way because I was jealous. Maybe I yelled at you because you're spending too much time with Yoongi. And that's okay but honestly Y/N, I miss you. We all miss you. We don't want to stop you from spending time with him because we know that you like him a lot and you're happy with him." He confessed, reflecting on every word and looking at you straight in the eyes. You felt a guilty pull on your heart.

He finally went in fully and pressed the Ground Floor button. Taehyung looked up from the series of button and continued, his voice laced with insecurity and lost - a sound of desperation even. "Just remember that he's not the only person that you could talk to everyday. He could be the one in your heart but as your best friend for years, we're still here." and the elevator doors shut. Your breath hitched up your throat, unable to even reply to that. Although you want to argue, you want to tell him that "I'm still here. You could talk to me anytime", you want to deny all of that. There's voice in the back of your mind that's actually agreeing.

Min Yoongi is calling you...

You stared down the screen and a force was pulling you to answer, your finger wanting to press the green button in instinct. But with Taehyung's words left in the wind, you locked your screen and turned back to go to your apartment.

Maybe Taehyung was right after all.
