Taehyung's outburst earlier this week lasted for few days until Namjoon had enough of it. That night before the Home Festa, he gathered everyone in the practice room to have a real talk. Yoongi and Taehyung had practically ignored each other existence since the incident. None of them showed any interest to make up after the small fight that they had.

Unlike, Jimin and Jungkook, they didn't prolong the fight with Taehyung since they respected his view and worries. Even though his behaviour towards Seul was unacceptable. Taehyung was looking out for the members. They understood him though they were weirded out by his sudden change. Apart from Jin and Hoseok, Taehyung is the friendliest one among them and to witness him spouting mean things to Seul was a little out of character.

Namjoon pulled himself upright and faced everyone with a deep sigh. Everyone was in dazed, too preoccupied with their own thought. Everything must be resolved tonight or else Armys might notice the tension in the air.

Hesitated, the leader cleared his throat and broke the eerie silence between them "Can we talk about what happen that night? We have been keeping it low until.. I had enough. Both of you, care to explain what happen back then? Tae, why are you venting your anger on Seul? We could talk it out instead of yelling at the poor girl.." every nerve in his tense body screamed for relief, he finally said it out.

They heard Yoongi scoffed maintaining his hard gaze on the floor. He never agreed on how Taehyung vented his anger without solid reason on Seul as if her feelings didn't matter in this. If he were to find someone to blame, Yoongi is ready to hear anything came from Taehyung. Her tears pained him.

Others remained silent, some were shifting uncomfortable in their seats wanting to escape from this room. The youngest one looked miserable realizing this useless fight started because of him and Jimin. They were partially at fault too. Another thing was that, he couldn't reach Seul for few days now. She ignored every text and call that he made.

Apart from the silent treatment, Seul tended her job as if nothing happens however she avoided meeting any of them. It simply means, she had rescheduled her work back to her normal work hours. There was no more breakfast for them early in the morning. Seul had stopped coming after her night shift. They didn't blame her for that, anyone would be acting that way after all. She felt responsible and guilty over everything even though she did nothing but to look after the boys only to get yelled without consulting her. This was another level of absurdity.

Annoyed, Jin snapped "Kim Taehyung, answer him. What the hell is wrong with you?" the younger guy took a deep breath looking like a lost lamb.

"I don't like the idea of our members falling for the same girl. It is too disturbing even though they agreed to play it fair, with Yoongi hyung in the picture. Don't you think this is getting serious than before?" his face contorted in confusion and anger.

Jungkook and Jimin exchanged a serious look before keeping their gaze fixated on Yoongi "Yoongi hyung likes Seul?" Jimin murmured in tones of disbelief. They were trying to reconfirm the older guy's unspeakable affection towards Seul back then. It finally cleared all the doubts in them.

Yoongi likes Seul.

"I am not surprised" said Hoseok, sighing softly.

Jungkook looked at Yoongi again with a disbelief look "Is it true?" he questioned slowly. Yoongi drew a sharp breath, gathering his guts to meet the maknae's eager eyes "I am sorry Guk. I thought it can be stopped. Fuck... it is complicated" he combed his hand through his hair expelling his worries.

"O...kay..." he slouched in his seat, relieved and disappointed. Disappointed that he didn't realize it sooner, until Taehyung needed to outline it out for him. If he could talk this thing with Yoongi, they could come up with something without endangering the whole group.

Or.. he could stop himself from liking Seul.

His feelings only complicate things.

"I thought you like Seul too Tae?" Namjoon inquired drawing everyone's attention to the star of the night. Taehyung's looked pale digesting the leader bias question who seemed to be attacking him. He went on, "I remember you talked about a lady from the photo that you captured. You printed it out and framed the photo. Don't you like her too?" Yoongi snapped his head sending wary glance at his way.

Taehyung stammered "I...I don't-That was a small crush that I have for her until I learned about Jungkook and Jimin feelings for Seul. Things will get complicated if I make a move on her" he expelled a long sigh.

"You are denying your feelings for her, so you come up with those nonsense that you said to her that night, just to ease yourself?" Yoongi snarled lowly keeping his gaze on the flustered guy.

His eyes twitched in frustration " I am stating the fact. For now, it is all rainbows and sunshine, you are in love. What if one day she has to make a choice? What are you going to do about that huh? Are you really okay with her choosing one of you over another? Her action will divide us and set us against each other. What happen to the promises that we made back then? We never let ridiculous things like this affect our work and friendship... Yoongi..hyung..we have never gotten into any serious fight since we first debuted. I thought our relationship is making a progress" tears were in his eyes, but he tried to look brave.

To be reminded by all the memories that they shared together, there was no doubt Taehyung made a point there. Yoongi and Taehyung were not the bestest friend in the group, nowadays they had resolved those issues and became closer than ever. Fans showed their love towards the couple and they even came up with a couple name for them, Taegi.

The silly Taegi.

The loveable Taegi.

The blooming love between Taegi.

Taegi was the beginning of a new relationship. It was magical.

Yoongi's fist curled up into a ball, he felt his body tense digesting every word came from Taehyung without leaving any behind. It came to his realization; Taehyung ultimate fear was to see everyone turning their back against each other.
