Silent

7. Stipulations

"Where've you been?" Suga was curious of Namjoon who was now entering the dorms late at night.

"Huh?" Namjoon was unprepared for anybody to actually be awake. "Why are you up? You're usually the first one to knock out."

"I'm staying up to catch Santa," Suga rolled his eyes. It was irrelevant why he was awake but crucial information why Namjoon was. "What about you? I thought you dropped off Suri hours ago."

"I did but then she invited me inside," Namjoon explained.

"And what did you guys do?" Suga wasn't going to let go of the topic. A few facts ran across his mind.

Him and Suri have hardly known each other for a few months and absolutely hate each other but they had their encounter yesterday. Namjoon on the other hand has been friends with her for years and spent almost the entire night at her house without supervision. It made Suga suspect that he wasn't the only one, not that it bothered him much. But the other members were off limits, especially Namjoon.

"We watched movies and hung out. You're just as bad as the maknaes thinking that I would do something with Suri."

"You're right. I should know better. You're not really that type of guy anyway," Suga was relieved.

"Could I ask you something?" Namjoon turned timid and began to play with his knuckles.

Suga nodded.

"Why do you hate her? She's a great person and I don't understand what the problem is. So the problem must be with you," Namjoon's tone was soft and childlike but his words seemed accusative.

"What am I supposed to think about the girl that broke my best friend's heart? She never gave you a chance yet you still help her because you have hope that she'll change her mind."

Namjoon couldn't defend himself from the truth.

In his head Suga was reliving some of the moments he shared with Suri and had to force them out. Her warmth was distracting him even though she wasn't anywhere near him.

Should he tell Namjoon what happened? Would it be a celebratory situation where Namjoon would be happy that Suga used Suri the way she'd been emotionally using Namjoon.

No. Namjoon isn't that type of guy. He still cares for her deeply which makes the situation worse. If Suga told his best friend what he did with the girl he likes...would they even be friends after that? Namjoon would most likely be devastated and feel betrayed.

Suga knew better than to open his mouth.

"I didn't mean to say that," Suga apologized in his own way,"But this talk wont make me hate her any less."

Namjoon cracked a smile for his roommate,"Let's go to bed. We have an early meeting with the manager tomorrow."

"Meeting? About what?" Suga wasn't notified about any sort of meeting.

"Some new rules. It's not a big deal."

Suga stood patiently beside his friends in their managers office. For some reason the meeting hadn't began yet even though all of the bts members were present.
