Hobi POV
Sunday

"WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK NAMJOON???" I screamed whilst barging into his room. I slammed his door and glared at him. He jumped from the sudden noise and turned around from his desk, clutching his chest.

"Have you seen the comments? Everyone thinks you two are secretly dating. Or they think you like her," I growled at him.

I'm so mad. I thought I was the only one who liked her. I did not see this one coming. At least I never showed it in public. I wonder what Tae is going to do.

Namjoon just stared at me sheepishly. "I'm sorry, hyung. I didn't mean for it to happen. She turned around so suddenly, I had no time to react. And Jin-hyung didn't make anything easier. I didn't know what to do in that situation," he hung his head after he said that. I sighed and ran my hand through my hair.

"How long?" I asked. He looked up at me with a pained expression.

Fuck.

I think I know the answer.

"That long, huh? Me as well," I sighed heavily. "You do realize that neither one of us will have her, right?" Namjoon pointed out with a tone of defeat. "That's why I never showed or said anything," he said. I nodded.

"I know. I wish it was different. I know Tae is protecting her and us, but we are adults. Not high schoolers. Plus if I got her I would never let her go." Namjoon laughed, I knew he thought the same.

The door opened again. We both looked over to who it was. We both froze, our faces covered with fear.

"You two. My room. Now." Taehyung spoke with so much anger I actually felt Satan himself cower. We just nodded and quickly followed him.

In TaeTae's room (pray for Namseok lol)

We were told to sit on Tae's bed. We did and I could feel myself shaking from fear. I wasn't sure if I felt better seeing Yoongi-hyung here or not. He's a little more laid back about (Y/N)-Noona than Tae is, but I don't know now. I can't read his face.

Tae just stared at us. His face glaring. I swallowed in fright. I have never seen him so mad. I wonder if this is what Hee-Chul felt before he was attacked.

Tae glanced away.

"Hyungs, do you love me? Do you respect me?" He asked in a whisper.

I was taken aback. I didn't expect this. I looked over to Namjoon. He had the same expression I did. We looked back at Tae.

"Of course we do," we answered at the same time.

"Then why did you fall for my Noona?" He asked, he voice rising with every word. He glared at us again.

Namjoon was the first to answer. "I didn't mean to, Taehyung. It just happened. But I never acted on it. No one knew until that video. The whole six years I've known her I never did anything about it. Because I knew you didn't approve. And I respect your rules. I ignored my feelings."

This is all true. No one knew. At all. He's good at hiding his feelings. I felt myself admiring him for his respect and his determination to not fuck up and let slip his feelings.

Tae nodded in understanding. "You're right. I didn't get any vibe from you that you like her. But now that video has come out and I've read the comments. Most of The Fam and ARMY think you two are dating or you should. That's a problem. Hoseok-hyung, you aren't so discrete about your feelings. What do you have to say?"

I looked up at him guiltily. Then sighed and hung my head in shame.

"Suga-hyung tried to warn me. He tried to tell me to hide it better. But I didn't know how. I've like her since I first saw that video six years ago. But over the years I've grown to love her. I'm sorry Tae. I can't help how I feel. I...I love her."

I started tearing up, in both guilt and finally accepting how I really feel. I thought it was just a crush. But it's much more than that. I'm in love with (Y/N)-Noona.

Fuck my life.

"Taehyung," Yoongi-hyung whispered, "what are you going to do about this? These boys obviously really like Noona. If you want to keep your rules, then there is only one option so nothing is awkward."

I snapped my head up quickly, eyes wide. I know what he's trying to say.

"No. Don't do that Taehyung. I will stop loving her. I mean in the way that is more than a friend or brother. Don't kick her out. If anything I'll leave," I begged and pleaded. She doesn't deserve to be kicked out. "Same," Namjoon agreed. Yoongi-hyung smirked at us. I gave him a glare.

Tae looked at us, his face for a split second showed awe, but then the stone face returned.

"I'm not kicking Noona out. She did nothing wrong. It's you two who have the issue. But I don't want you two to leave either. Even if I wanted to kick you out I couldn't anyway. Bang PD-nim wouldn't allow it. You're my best friends, my brothers. But I am just so mad that you broke my rules." He put his hands on his head. I feel so bad.

"I'm so sorry Tae. I really didn't mean for this to happen," I said lowly. I really mean it. I hate myself for falling so hard.

Tae shook his head. "I don't know why, but I believe you. As much as I fucking hate it, I know that you can't stop how you feel about someone. I started thinking about this the other night. I thought about every time I saw you staring at Noona, Hobi-hyung."

I just looked at him. I'm at a loss for words. I stayed quiet waiting for him to continue.

"I was so pissed. I thought that you just didn't give a shit about my rules. I thought that you only cared about yourself, not the group. At the time, I was just mad. I went straight to Suga-hyung. He had to calm me down. He told me not to worry, and kept making excuses for you. When I was calm I let the excuses go because I knew that you would never put the group at risk. Or our friendship. I knew you weren't selfish. But it kept happening. Then I saw the comments on that V-live. I heard what Noona said after I went off on the chat. But going upstairs I saw your face. How hurt you were. And how jealous you were because of her spending time with Jimin-hyung and Jungkook ."

"I talked with Yoongi-hyung again. I came to the conclusion that I know I can't stop love. I know people can't help how they feel. And it's not fair to forbid it. I just don't want Noona to get hurt again. She's been through so much when we were growing up. And then what happened with Hee-chul...I just can't stand seeing her hurt." He looked like he was going to cry, but he shook it off.

What he said next was so shocking, I didn't think I heard it right.

"What I am going to say next is hard for me. But Suga-hyung insists everything will be okay. I'm trusting him." He glanced back at Hyung and he nodded his head at Tae. Then he looked to me and smirked. Tae stared at us with hard eyes.

"Noona says that she only loves everyone as brothers. And now that I know you two like her, I want to see if that is actually true. I'm lifting my rules. The ONLY REASON I'm doing this is because I trust Bangtan. I hate to admit this but I know no one in the group will hurt her intentionally. I know how much you guys care for her. I will back off. BUT..." His face became even darker if that were possible. "If ANYTHING happens to her, I will personally rip your throats out with my bare hands. Understood?"

We nodded vigorously, scared to say anything. Tae nodded as well, "good. I'm done now. I want to lay down. This has been too emotionally exhausting for me. Get out." He pointed to his door.

Namjoon, Suga-hyung and I all left. We waited until we were down in the lounge before talking. We sat down on a couch and just looked at each other. Then Namjoon and I smirked at each other. Yoongi-hyung shook his head in amusement. Namjoon and I shook hands.

"Good luck."
