Backstage (Taekook)

Chapter 7

“Yah! I insist.”

“Fine, but only if the manager know nothing about this.”

“Talking terms with your hyung now huh? I honestly don't understand how I constantly allow you to climb over my head and do whatever you like despite being older than you.”

Jungkook chuckled. "I'll take it as you agreed then, or the deal is off?" He asked, putting on his sweater.

Taehyung stood by the back, glancing at Jimin holding Jungkook by his shoulders.

Jungkook turned back, to see Taehyung just standing there, staring at himself, but obviously with no intention of approaching.

In spite, he grabbed Jimin's arms, he smiled slightly. "Never mind, Jiminie hyung, let's just go before it gets late."

Taehyung could only watch as Jungkook pulled Jimin away, as if it was to make him feel bad about himself, like jealousy.

It worked, apparently. Taehyung really felt like shit then.

"Yah, Taehyungie!"

He felt a slap on his bum, bringing him back from his thoughts. He looked to the side, being greeted by a concerned looking Seokjin.

"A penny for your thoughts? I've called you like three times but there was no response from you."

"Just a little tired after the performance."

"Ah I see, then let's head back to the apartment then, and rest early. The others are already out, without calling us, how rude. But then again, Jiminie said something about going out with Jungkookie? Oh whatever, I'm beat."

Taehyung felt a slight tinge of sourness. “Yeah, alright.”

He then grabbed his small bag which kept his necessities, and proceeded to leave with Seokjin.

Namjoon and Yoongi obviously could sense something going on between both sides.

"I know what you're thinking. I can't stand to watch those two, I'm finding out what happen. Are you with me?"

Namjoon widen his eyes at Yoongi's offer, putting his hands inside his pocket. "What do you suggest? Asking straight up obviously wouldn't work."

"Then let's not." Yoongi said softly, then walking towards the direction of where Taehyung and Jin headed back, which was the dorms.

"Wait, Yoongi hyung." Namjoon called out, looking around. "I almost forget, where's hope?"

"Not me, obviously. I'm nothing near to being hopeful."

"J-Hope."

"Oh, right. I'll wait for him. Namjoon ah, I'll take care of Taehyung's side. Jungkook and Jimin listens to you, you'll take care of their side?"

"You mean, following them secretly?"

"I didn't even had to say it. You're really the smart one."

"I'll be damned-" Namjoon actually agreed inside, even though morally he wouldn't, but he couldn't deny it was the most subtle way to find out what was going on.

"I'll be on my way." Namjoon said sternly before moving towards Jimin and Jungkook's direction.

Hoseok then appeared by the back, stopping by Yoongi before he wanted to follow Namjoon blindly, thinking he was going back to the dorms as well before Yoongi pulled him towards the other direction without a word.

"Oh!" Hoseok yelled out, suddenly being pulled away and led to another direction.

He walked alongside the other, his arm still being held. "Aren't we going back to the dorm? Namjoon-"

"Shh."

"Well, sorry for asking!" Hoseok said passive aggressively, still continuing to walk. "What's the deal?"

"I'm too lazy to explain to you, just find out on the way." Yoongi mentioned, quickening his pace but keeping his footsteps light.
