Chapter 21

Saying things got awkward would be an understatement.

At dinner, everyone stared at each other, so much so that Jackson asked, " uh, what's going on? Everyone's being weird. " he laughed anxiously.

Mark turned to him and whispered something in his ear, his eyes going wide as he glanced at taehyung and then hoseok. " what have you guys fought about? "

" ugh, I told you not to say! " mark scolded him and Jackson huffed in annoyance.

Jungkook weren't aware of the situation between taehyung and hoseok, for a fact nobody was fully aware of what went on or what they've fought about. Jungkook just thought things were awkward because Jimin knew and hoseok was always weird around him and taehyung haven't spoke to him since noon, adding to that was seokjin's pitiful expression, which was presented every time he looked at jungkook. So- discovering taehyung and hoseok fought and he didn't know- it made him sad.

" if anything happens, I expect you to talk to me about it. " namjoon said in a stern voice and yoongi immediately stopped eating his soup, adding, " yeah, me too. "

" nothing happened though... " taehyung mumbled. He felt like he got mentally fucked by life, everything he thought he could get away with coming back to bite him in the ass. It's like seeing namjoon and seokjin made him feel safe, but it was an illusion- homophobes are everywhere, even if they don't make themselves noticed at first.

" yup. " hoseok said with a sarcastic smile. " nothing happened. "

" hoseok, my office. " namjoon growled, wiped his hands with a napkin and got up, hoseok following closely behind with a scoff.

" taehyung, would you please say something? Maybe explain this clownery? " seokjin snapped, " I can't stand these stupid fights! I feel like I'm in elementary school again! " he exclaimed and crossed his arms. The table got quiet and taehyung spoke. " we had a disagreement. Nothing special. "

" that's it? " jungkook asked and the table got quiet yet again.

" huh-uh. " taehyung responded dryly and looked away, blinking slowly. A loud ringing sounded through the room, " I gotta take this, uh- " kai said and got up swiftly, phone in hand, " thanks for the food jin-hyung. " and then walked away, probably heading towards his room and taking the call.

" well... " seokjin said, " you better solve this disagreement quick, okay? I'm not gonna handle this. "

" don't worry hyung, we'll behave. " taehyung said, rolling his eyes and going on his phone. Jimin frowned.

" Wanna go watch a movie? " he asked jungkook.
" um, " he thought about how strangely taehyung acted, and he felt like crying so he just looked back at Jimin and smiled knowing he could forget about everything and spend some time with his close friend, who he can talk to wholeheartedly. " sure. "

they both got up, thanking seokjin for the food and going up the stairs to Jimin's and hoseok's room.

" uh, they're friends? Since when? " yoongi thought out-loud once they were out of sight. Mark laughed, " why? is that a problem? "

" I just dunno why would an omega be such good friends with an alpha. " he answered with a scoff.

" alpha? " seokjin asked and the air got a little stuffy. " yeah, jungkook. " yoongi answered. The latter hummed and then said, " interesting. he told me he was a beta. "

" why do you care, anyway? Me and Jackson are friends and he's an alpha. Your mindset is so culturally backwards. " mark snapped and Jackson grinned proudly at how smart his best friend were. " yup! "
