"N-Namjoon-hyung?"

"Taehyung..."

"Wait you two knew each other?"

As soon as you blurted that out two set of eyes were placed on you.

   You didn't mind it but when you felt the brunette's heated gaze made you cowered under it and shuffled to Namjoon's back to hide your small figure as if to protect yourself by taking advantage his height.

'Okay but what's with him always glaring at me? What did I do to him?'

"So you were here the whole time hooking up with anyone?!" He started to growl and backed away from the door, his glare now focused on the detective.

'Wait what? Excuse me boi do I look like a flippin prostitute to you? I—'

  "Tae, it's not what it looks like—" Namjoon stepped out of the door way, his shoulders slumped all the down the same goes with his mood.

  "It is what it is! I can't believe I was still hoping for our family to get better yet you haven't changed at all! Jin-hyung was right you are selfish!" He barked cutting off his older brother. You risked a glance to his way and you saw his eyes swirled with strong yet raw emotions all at once that you can't describe which one he's feeling.

  You wanted to leave this instant, the intense auras that's radiating off from the boy made you uncomfortable to the extent that you just want to build a portal and just teleport to your comfy bed but somehow your body won't listen to what you ordered it to do now that you're stuck witnessing these two brothers quarrel.

   "Look Tae Tae listen—" Namjoon with pleading eyes he reached an arm out to his brother in turn he received an aching slap on the arm not only the arm ached but his beating heart too.

   He just wanted to make things up but why does it seem like it's getting worse?

"Don't you think it's too late for you to explain, hyung? Where were you when dad was sick? Where were you when I stepped up on the stage? Where were you when dad was buried?!" Every sentence that left his mouth felt like a big stab to the detective's already hurting heart.

  What hurts even more is that all that Taehyung listed off was true.

Namjoon ran away when he found out his father was ill, he didn't get to see his brother's graduation as promised and he wasn't present for their father's funeral.

   All of that because he was scared to face the truth. The painful truth of his family crumbling and now his selfish decision from before made things in the present much more complicated.

  How he wished he could turn back in time but unfortunately there was no such things as a time machine.

"I'm done listening to your lies, Namjoon... And don't you ever call me Tae Tae ever again." The brunette boy added his lips tugged deeper than it should and didn't hesitate to turn his heels and walked off to the elevator, going back to his respective room.

The detective kept his posture still you knew that behind the front facial expression he put up he is in despair.

You didn't know what just happened yet you knew that you had to do something.

  And that is to comfort him.

  Well he is still a complete stranger to you but helping a fellow neighbor, a detective at that, wouldn't hurt. Maybe by doing this you would find out what kind of person he is, you would know what he like or dislikes and maybe it is possible to be friends with a mere detective.
