"What took you so long, sweetheart? I've been waiting here for ages," Hoseok greeted me outside the recording studio.

"How many times do I have to tell you to quit it with the nicknames?"

"I heard you went wild at the bar last night," he continued, ignoring my complaints. "Where was my invite? I would've been the life of the party."

"It wasn't a party, you jerk—" I stopped myself, remembering how Hoseok had no idea what happened with Taehyung, and I wasn't about to spill it to him now. "Don't expect an invite next time either. Let's just go inside," I grumbled.

Thankfully, it wasn't long before Seokjin arrived as well. His eyes immediately locked onto Hoseok's as he entered the door. I watched in confusion as Hoseok's lips curled into an amused smirk as the two stared at each other.

"Kim Seokjin."

My eyes widened as Hoseok called out Seokjin's name.

"Wait, do you two know each other?"

"I know everything about him," Hoseok remarked, his smirk now shifting to a humorous grin, though I didn't understand what was so funny. "Well, sure, it was from a background check, but gosh, feels like I personally know him."

Is this guy actually being serious?

"Hoseok, what the hell. He didn't need to know that," I mumbled to him.

"What's the big deal? Just wanted to let Seokjin know he's in the clear since I found nothing suspicious. Isn't that great to hear?" Seokjin didn't respond, staring at Hoseok with squinted eyes. "Oh, I'm sorry, how rude of me. I'm Jung Hoseok."

Hoseok lifted his arm in front of him. Though only a few seconds passed, it felt like a very uncomfortable eternity before Seokjin shook his hand.

"Nice to...meet you, Hoseok."

"We should get to work," I hastily spoke, trying to move past what might have been the most unusual exchange I had ever witnessed.

"Right, we can start recording a rough cut of 'Rainy Day.'"

"Rainy day?"

"Yeah, the love song you wrote? It's great, by the way."

"B-but I never finished the song."

"What do you mean? You emailed me the finished lyrics this morning." The puzzled expression never left my face as Seokjin handed me a sheet of paper. I skimmed through the unfamiliar lyrics until a certain verse caught my eye.

Together we'll weather any storm
And forget all the tears and pain
'Cause what we have, it's like a movie
I'll always love you like I do on this rainy day

It reminded me of what I told Yoongi the night at the bar.

Despite all the pain and all the reasons to hate him, I still love Taehyung.

It dawned on me that Yoongi must have finished the song.

And for someone who had never been in love, the lyrics he managed to write were beautiful.

Beautifully painful.

I found myself in a trance reading the chorus.

They're about that magical day in the rain.
