Hoseok was monitoring their individual shots from the cameras while cackling excitedly. Stood beside him was sleepy Jin, whom ended up laughing along to Hoseok sudden outburst as they made fun of each other. When Jimin's individual shot came in slow motion, the two older guys hollered "Look at Jiminie! He looks so squishy here" Hoseok retorted.

"I look super awkward here, look at my hand" pointed Jimin with a small pout.

"No, you are not! You look great, this look need to be protected at all cost" Jin smug proudly, resting one of his arms on Jimin's shoulder. Namjoon's butt in, chuckling away showing off his dimple "How did you stroke your hair like that? Does this hair need to be comb all the time" the leader teased Jimin only to receive a small whack from Jimin across his arm.

"I think Namjoon hyung looks the coolest when he raps" Jimin returned the compliment earnestly. To be truth, Namjoon is a cutie behind the camera but when he's on camera his character change instantly as he's living up to the name, Rap Monster. The boys would always spend their times monitoring each other during the break and ended up with compliments or mere tease just to liven up the mood.

Yoongi on the other side was getting his hair styled back to its original state earlier this morning, and immediately snapped his head to the boys' direction upon he heard his name being summoned.

"Yoongi hyung running is as funny as me running" Namjoon gruffy giggled garnered the older guy's attention.

"YAH KIM NAMJOON I HEARD THAT" Yoongi scowled with a meaningful glare.

Namjoon raised his hand in defeat "I did not say anything, Jimin did" like a flash he fled from the scene before getting nagged. Jimin gave the leader a disbelief looks as he returned his attention back to the screen, joining others laughing at their new victims, Jeon Jungkook.

The younger guy came with a confused face at first and quickly turned sour as soon as he realized his hyungs were teasing him. Jimin glanced at Jungkook's side profile, smiling warmly like a proud brother he is, earning the latter's attention. Noticing the stare, he received from Jimin, he swung his arm around Jimin's neck, breaking into his cute bunny smile. They needed no word to describe how much they cared of each other, it was long gone ever since they became friends.

One single look meant everything. It was well understood by them.

Burying himself in his jacket deeper to seek warmth at the corner was Namjoon. He leaned against the cold wall, with his eye fixated on his phone screen. A message popped up from his screen got him to straighten his body almost immediately, as his forehead creased into deep frown.

His eyes scanned the area carefully making sure no one caught him acting weird before he left the area to more secluded place. Namjoon's slender fingers glided across the screen and pressed his phone closed to his ears desperately to reach someone "Come on pick up" he grumbled in annoyance.

Attempt after attempt yet he failed to reach that one person he's been dying to see since the news broke. His heart was broken into pieces upon receiving the news from Bang Pd a day ago however he would not let the thing to mess up his concentration on this filming.

Not to mention, he was scheduled to meet Bang Pd tomorrow so what's the point of bringing it up now. He refused to believe the rumours that he heard at first, but it became more evident when he failed to reach the person to get the confirmation. Was it just him or the person was trying to avoid him? The truth was out to public now. The person had been keeping the secrets away from him when he deserved to know the truth.

It was hard for both of them. Yes.

It was complicated. Yes.

It did not give that person any right to go behind his back and left him in the dark.

It was torturous for him too.

Namjoon had been trying to keep his composure cool since yesterday despite the issues that he's having right now. He did not want to disappoint his bandmates not when they had worked so hard for this comeback. Bangtan topped everything, he could not risk the group for his personal problem. When this filming end today, he would solve this thing right way.

Yes, that was the actual plan.

It came to no avail, when she came unannounced.

"SHIT! PICK UP" he grew frustrated. Namjoon really wanted to stop her from ruining this filming but that woman was so thick headed. For once and all, he had to end this. With that, he picked up all his might to make a quick run to the south wings. He sprinted using the last ounce of his energy in hope he would be the first one to reach there. Things could go from bad to worst in the blink of an eye.

Namjoon could not let that happen. Not here.

'Please please don't be inside' he chanted inside his mind on repeat as he made a sharp turn at the corner, entering the room. His eyes landed on a figure with her back facing him, and without thinking straight he embraced the person into a tight hug.

He knew she was struggling in his embrace, but he did not care any of that. All he cared was to hug her one last time before he heard the sad truth. "Nuna...Is it true" he buried his face at the crook of her neck, fighting his own tears. Namjoon inhaled her sweet scent which he found oddly different that she usually does. Did she change her perfume?

Screw that. He demanded answer from her now. It was the truth he needed.

Her heavy breathing could be heard clearly as she was about to say something, however Namjoon was quick enough to hush her with another reply "No don't answer yet. I don't think I am ready to hear the answer from you, nuna" said Namjoon. His voice was completely broken as his tears already cascaded down wetting her shirt.

She gasped knowing Namjoon was crying and ran her fingers to his arm that wrapped securely around her, trying to loosen it up a little but come to no avail. He held onto her even closer "Nuna..Why is this happening to us? I thought, you wanted to wait until we figure this thing out" the latter mumbled.

"I am sorry nuna, it is my fault. I should have just make up my mind about you. If and only I am being honest to myself and Bang PD, this would not happen. You would not be....married to someone else... and you lost.. your job because of me" her mind paused momentarily, and her heart sank allowing the sadness engulfed it darkening her world.

"I tried... I really tried to fight for us. I did not try hard enough. Why are you marrying him when you told me that you love me? Am I a fool to you? Does my world is a little bit too much for you to handle? Why...you lied to me? You ignored me for a month. You did not even look at me. You are disgusted of me. Am I embarrassing you?" Namjoon's word came out at once as if he's rapping through it.

It stabbed her heart, the pain that he experienced, she could feel it.

Another silence.

Namjoon's breath was shaky, he bit his lower lips holding back the resentment that he had for her. All the time that he spent to fight for this love burnt down to ashes in one night. He felt his world crumbled down in front of him, what else could he expect?

She's married to someone else.

She gave him hope when she knew it was impossible to be together again.

She fooled him.

She toyed his feeling.

She was toxic.

Their relationship was toxic.

And, it came to this.

He must end it.
