TAEHYUNG stretches as he scrolls through his playlist of music, selecting a piano piece by Chopin before setting his phone down. He pulls his blanket tighter around his body and closes his eyes, feeling just a tiny bit sluggish after having eaten a filling dinner with the other members.
After washing up and changing into a very snug pair of pajamas, he had decided that he owed it to himself to unwind.
Okay, actually, maybe it was because he was trying to seem occupied to evade a certain someone from trying to talk to him.
The moment he'd changed his clothes, Taehyung had rapidly collected his things to sleep beside Jungkook once again. Except, the moment he set foot into the room, the younger had smoothly grabbed him by the shoulders and steered him right out.
"I know exactly what you're doing, hyung." Jungkook had hummed as he'd walked Taehyung back to his room. "But you can't avoid him forever. And if there's a day to settle any issues, then today is a perfect time, don't you think? Just get it over with, it'll go well, I promise."
And that was that.
... Alright, fine, maybe the conversation didn't go that smoothly. It actually took a solid fifteen minutes of whining and protesting and convincing and compromising before the silver-haired male had finally given in.

So here he was, nervous as shit, listening to some unwinding music as a way to calm himself down. Maybe he'd become so relaxed that he'd fall asleep! But even he knew that wasn't possible.
Somehow, the younger had developed some sort of habit. If the leader was not in bed, he found that he could not fully fall asleep without worrying.
At least Taehyung knew where the tall male currently was. Shortly after dinner, Namjoon had run up to Yoongi, calling for him. Yoongi had stopped in his movement, lazily turning to look over his shoulder, and patiently waited for the leader to catch up to him.
"Can I please talk to you?" The leader had asked, and after a long moment, the older nodded. So, the two of them went into Yoongi's room and Taehyung could only assume the leader was apologizing profusely for his behavior.
Taehyung recognized that the two had been friends for a long time, so it made sense for Yoongi to feel the most insulted when Namjoon couldn't trust him at that time. Moreover, they had both said some things they probably didn't mean in the heat of the moment that they wanted to clear up.
Sitting up in bed, Taehyung clutches at his hair while letting out a frustrated groan. He couldn't do this. He couldn't wait another minute longer. He was going crazy from the nerves and he just needed to—
