Taehyung managed to garner a bit of attention with just the change of hair colour from students in his classes. Many people whom of which he's never said even one word to complimented him and how the red really matches his skin. He's always been rather attractive in his own eyes but with the positive attention he's been receiving from his peers, his self-esteem went up rather drastically. Just because of the colour of his hair.

After befriending Jungkook, Taehyung's life got more exciting. Of course, his four best friends weren't forgotten but just by splitting his time between them and Jungkook added more excitement in his used-to-be boring life. As days turned to months, their friendship grew, Jungkook was no longer a second-choice but instead, Taehyung had to think really hard who he wanted to hang out with and sometimes it was Jungkook other times it was 2Seok (or one out of the couple) or Namkeun (or one out of the couple). He'd hate to admit it but, being with Jungkook made him feel better than with the couples even when Yoongi was with Jungkook because they both made him feel equal and not like a third wheel.

Before now, his schedule consisted of going to whatever class/es he had, going to work if he had to work that day, and going home. Every day, 24/7, nothing else. However, a few changes have been made to that flimsy schedule and now Taehyung has a solid, more exciting schedule: Sunday — wake up early around 6am to workout with his new workout partner aka Jeon Jungkook, go home and take a shower and nap, study with Seokjin and/or Namkeun; Monday — go to classes and/or lectures, go to work, hang out/eat with Jungkook; Tuesday — go to classes and labs, go to work, hang out with his group; Wednesday — go to classes and/or lectures, go to work, rest and study by himself; Thursday — go to his only class and lab, go to work, lunch with Jungkook; Friday — go to classes, go to work, lunch with Jungkook, hang out with his group and then Saturdays and Sundays are random days. The schedule seems very repetitive and boring but Taehyung likes it as it has more spice and seasoning to it than his old, bland schedule.

He never really hung out with Yoongi, just occasionally texted. They mainly played video games together or battled each other, Taehyung received rather suggestive words from the latter but he knew it was in the midst of anger.

However, its come to his attention that his friends now like him more with his lifestyle change and of course, that sort of makes sense as they can now invite him to their plans but before he decided to open up the "wild" door, they usually skipped over him. Taehyung never really took offence or anything but now he's starting to wonder if they don't actually like him but instead how he decided to change. Which, as he thought about it more, also made sense. People with fun and exciting lives are drawn to people who also like to have fun and do fun things, back when Taehyung was boring and dull, his friends who were everything but boring and dull never really invited him to do things as simple as eating out but now they invite him almost every day. Usually, it was Taehyung who had to initiate something for them to follow as if they knew Taehyung would reject such a simple offer of going out to get pizza. Now, with Taehyung's new wild side finally coming to light, all four of them seem much happier and willing to do things with their the redhead. Of course, Namjoon is different as he and Taehyung are the closest amongst the four, but even now, Taehyung feels a little confused about him too. As Taehyung thought deeper about it, the more confused and frustrated he became. If he were to stop going out clubbing every Friday, stop having drinks, and doing fun things, would they stop hanging out with him? He didn't really care if Seokjin, Hoseok, or Keunji stopped liking him but if Namjoon were to stop being his friend, how would he handle that?
