After the ordeal, J.Seph left for his room and never spoke to BM ever since. Three days have passed and the silence even took a toll on the two young bandmates, jiwoo and somin. It was one of their dance practice sessions when J.Seph messed up a lot but the usual chatty BM didn't even bother to correct him.
"WHAT THE HELL, OPPA!" Somin screamed out her frustration.
"I don't mind you two having problems, I understand. But can you not let it affect your--our performance? Be professional, for everyone's sake!"
"Sorry.... Let's try---" J.Seph apology was interrupted by Somin.
"What about let's not. Let's talk. Is this because of the rumors between Matthew-Oppa and I?"
"No, Somin. You misunderstood. We...." BM butted in.
"Whatever the reason you two are fighting, lemme clear this out once and for all for Taehyung-Oppa. There is nothing between Matthew-Oppa and I. So please don't miss understand, Oppa. Please just be good to each other. It hurts to see you guys like this. I feel.... Am I...."
"I know.....I'm sorry." J.Seph replied weakly. He then walked up to Somin who didn't seem to realise that she had tears streaming down her face.
"Oppa...." J.Seph hugged the now sobbing Somin. Jiwoo joined the hug as well.
"Matthew and I are sorry. We will sort this out, okay? I promise. You guys don't have to worry anymore, neither of you caused this." J.Seph smiled fondly at the two younger girls. Oh God, how could he hurt these angels. He would never forgive himself if he ever seen the girls crying because of him ever again. He then looked at Matthew as if conveying the message that they need to talk immediately. BM, unmoving, stood in the far wall of the practice room only nodding in response to J.Seph's stare.
"Now, we shall take a break for today. Rest for a while. I'll buy you guys ice cream tomorrow night, okay?"
J.Seph wiped Somin's remaining tears with his thumb.
"But Oppa, we're on a diet." Jiwoo replied.
"As if you follow it, you kid."
They chuckled a little bit, except for Matthew in the corner.
"Okay, we'll go now.... Be good to each other, Oppa."
Somin and Jiwoo glanced at BM then they waved goodbye to take a ride back to their dorms. After they left, J.Seph sighed deeply. Without looking at BM, J.Seph mumbled weakly...
"Let's go back, we need to talk."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
They sat in silence on the sofa in the living room of their dorm. Both were listening to their own breathes and staring straight through their TV and beyond. No one seems to be able to find the words they were looking for. They needed to talk, but where do they start? The rumors? The change in their attitudes? Them?
BM inhaled deeply.
"And what do we talk about now?"
Silence.
BM exhaled.
"J.Seph...."
No response.
"Taehyung-ah...."
J.Seph turned his head to look at BM. But no words escaped his lips even for a second.
"Are you really treating me like this now? I said what I needed to say three days ago and all I got was a slap in the cheek."
