NAMJOON POV

Taehyung tapped his feet impatiently while I took in a deep breath before starting.

"Taehyung why are you doing this?" I asked and looked at him.
Taehyung rolled his eyes and said,"Now the blame comes on me again"

"I am not blaming you" I insisted and stepped forward a little.
"Then?" He spoke,"Why do you keep on asking that why I am doing this?"

"Taehyung you hurt everyone's feelings yesternight" I said.
"I didn't meant to" He said,"You started"
"We didn't Taehyung" I insisted,"Seokjin Hyung was just worried about you. You just burst out"

Taehyung fell silent but not because he was speechless, because He looked so done that he didn't wanted to argue.

"Taehyung please" I said,"Just come back. You are always pushing us away"
Silence.
"—You always want to leave"
Still silence.
"—YOU ARE TEARING US APART!!" I screamed and took hold is his shoulders and shook him hard.

Taehyung stared at me with cold and emotionless eyes. Slowly he shook off my hold from him and sat down on the bed.
"If you think that I am the one defecting your so-called family then just let me go" He spoke in a slow voice and looked up at me,"I really do not want to hurt anyone of you"

"Taehyung you are the part of this so-called family" I said.
"Yeah" He scoffed,"A punching bag to be precise"
"Taehyung we are sorry" I said loosing my patience.

"A merry word can't just make all of it vanish from my memory" He snapped.
"Taehyung we don't just say a word" I countered,"We mean it."

"No" He whispered to himself but I heard it.
"Taehyung please stop being a kid and think practically" I spat.

"I am thinking practically" He said and stood up,"I am thinking practically because you all didn't gave a shit about me before. You started caring because you feared that your fans and money will leave you if I did"

"We don't" I screamed.
"Yes you do" He shouted," You all are just money hungry jerks!! ( I don't mean that okay)"

"TAEHYUNG!!" I shouted and slapped him on his cheek. I realised my action after I did that. Taehyung fell silent. My handprint was red and embedded on his white cheek.

I gasped and cupped his face in my hands and said,"Taehyung sorry I didn't meant it"
"Yeah of course" He said and removed my hand from his face, his movement dominating yet gentle.

"Leave" He whispered and turned away.
"Ta—"
"Leave"
"Plea—"
"Leave"
"Lis—"
"Leave hyung" He cried out while his voice cracked with raw emotions,"Ju-just leave"
"I am not leaving" I said.

"Fine" He spat and turned around with tears at the brim of his eyes.
"Please Taehyung, I am sorry" I pleaded.
"See, yet again" He spat,"For you Sorry is just a word and nothing else"

I fell silent at his words and looked down with shame. Taehyung sighed and then went to open the door.

I nodded and stood at the door while looking up at him.
"I am sorry" I said yet again.
"Yeah Yeah I know how much sorry you are" He said and ushered me out.

I walked out to see Areum sitting at the couch while glaring at me. Apparently she had heard enough of it.

"Thanks for coming" She said and slammed the door on my face. I sighed and walked away from it.

Now that I was thinking clearly, The real question was.
How was I supposed to tell the members ?

3RD PERSON POV

The moment Namjoon left, Taehyung's knees buckled and he kneeled on the cold floor.

"Taehyung I heard everything" Areum said and sat beside the boy with eyes gleaming with tears.

"Yet again" Taehyung whispered and drew in a shaky breath and closed his eyes.

"Those bastards" Spat Areum as angry tears came down her cheeks. Taehyung didn't said anything and just stared at the floor with a blank expression.

"Areum" He spoke after sometime.
"Hmm" Areum looked at him.
"Why do I have to suffer so much"
"I don't know" admitted Areum with her neck and hands fuming.

"I am sick for acting like a goody two shoes now" He confessed,"I want to act kind and good with them and I want to forgive them. Actually I already had, but they just had to ruin it" Taehyung talked on without thinking and just spoke what came in his mind,"I feel like they are just using me and not really care. They are not just my band mates Areum but my family, and I never wanted anything bad for them. No matter what they did, No matter how much they hated me. But-but maybe I am the only one who does"

"Oh Tae" Whispered Areum and rubbed his shoulder,"It's okay"
"No" He moaned,"It's not"
"Then Taehyung" Said Areum being practical,"You know that they won't let you off hook so easily. Why don't you just quit and then leave Seoul"

"Hmm maybe" Agreed Taehyung and unsteadily got up, followed by Areum.
They both went and sat on the couch while heaving a sigh.

"Taehyung do you wanna freshen up yourself?" Asked Areum trying to lighten up the mood.

"I beg" he said and looked at her while she smiled.
