The Truth Untold

Dongsaeng

Jimin keeps a watchful eye on you for the next few days, but when he sees things are just fine he slowly starts to relax.

It's been 4 days since Jimin confronted you about the birth control and nothing seems off so you both finally start to breathe again.

Tae's sprain is healing really nicely and with plenty of rest he's able to walk with barely a limp. If he walks too much on it or pushes it too far he's in pain so Bang-ssi gave extended time off for Tae to heal.

You are thankful but you know so many vacations back to back will be bad, for them and the company.

You push the worry out of your mind and try to enjoy what time you have with the boys that you have, knowing any day now it'll be back to long days of them practicing for the next concert.

You are in the practice studio today alone. Hobi and Jungkook wanted to come with but you felt the need to clear your head and dancing always does the trick.

Between the surprise trip to Daegu, Tae's injury, Jin's sudden submission, even the birth control incident and seeing your eomma's grave and being in the house with all your memories.. you needed to push it all away and what better than to pick your dancing back up.

After a solid 3 hours of dancing and letting whatever song comes on the playlist move you, you take a water bottle and down it in one go.

"Y/N-ssi? What are you doing here?" You hear a small voice call out to you while you are refilling your water bottle in the break room. You turn at the voice and smile.

"Hey Taehyun" you finish filling your water bottle then turn to him.

"You here to see Soobin? He's in the practice room" he points behind him and you shake your head.

"Nah, i knew you guys are hard at work on your next comeback so i did not want to distract him. I'm just here to blow of steam" you force a smile, which he notices.

Taehyun has always come across as more mature for his age to you sometimes, always focusing on the now instead of the tomorrow. It's sometimes rather refreshing.

"Everything okay, Noona? I don't know if i'd be much help since we aren't close like you and Soobin- ssi but you look kind of.. sad"

You move to sit on the little couch in the room and he follows, sitting beside you before giving you his full attention.

"If you met a person you loved very much, more than anything.. but the other guys also fell in love with her. Would you be okay sharing her?"

He thinks about your question carefully before answering you.

"Would this person also love each of us equally? Nobody getting special treatment?" You nod your head and he smiles at you. "Then yes. I don't know if i would be comfortable actually sharing during certain moments.. but if we each had a relationship with said person and it made us all happy, then why not go for it?"

You think about his words, silence falling between you.

"Would you introduce them to your parents?"

He tilts his head at that, catching on to who you really mean.

"If we we're serious enough for it to reach that point then, i don't see why not. My parents no matter how traditional, would want me to be happy and if this person makes me happy the what would be the problem?"

You nod absentmindedly, deep in thought.

"Is this about hyungs?" He asks softly, bringing your gaze up to him.

"Yeah.. i met a couple of their parents and i can tell the rest want to introduce me as well.. i suppose i just worry?"

"About what?"

"Aish. I can't believe i'm gonna say this out loud" you rub the back of your neck. "I guess i feel alot of pressure. Not from them exactly, but i know someday, more important talks will come up and i'm not sure what to do about it"

He laughs quietly.

"If the talks haven't even happened yet, why feel pressured? That's like worrying about what you're going to eat tomorrow when you haven't even eaten today. Have you talked to them?"

"Not.. entirely? I'm not having any second thoughts. i guess i just.. stupidly worry if i'm enough in their families eyes"

"It isn't stupid to worry, it's human. All i can say is, what does your gut want you to do?"

You aren't aware of it, but 7 sets of ears are just outside the door, having come to surprise you. They exchange looks as if talking silently.

"It tells me that i love them. That i want their families to love me too. I.. i have never felt like i belonged somewhere until i met them" you whisper.

"So tell them that. If i met someone who meant the world to me, i would want to know if they had any doubts or worries. I would want to make them comfortable. At the end of the day, y/n-ssi, we may be idols but we are still human. We still have the desire for families and love of our own even if it may not be right now. The least you could do, is just tell them. Tell them you are scared, that you're thinking of the future."

You look at him with a genuine smile.

"Talking to you is always so refreshing, Taehyun. Thank you"

He pulls you in for a hug, smiling against your shoulder.

"The future is never guaranteed. It's why i prefer to live in the now. If they make you happy now. If you love them now. Then i think it's enough. Whatever is really troubling your head will be solved if you just tell them instead of me"

He pats your back once more before letting you go and gets up to grab some water before walking out while you think about his words.

He stops short when he sees his hyungs standing there. Namjoon puts a finger to his lips and Taehyun looks at you before smiling. He walks off as if he didn't see anything while the boys sneak to the room you were practicing in.

You eventually grab your water bottle and go back to your practice room, not even looking up when you walk to your music player and push play.

It isn't until you finally shake your shoulders of the tension and look up as you walk over that you yelp in surprise.

"What on earth are you guys doing here?"
