Summary: After you had gone public about your relationship with Yunho, you were surprised that the two of you were asked to perform a dance duet.

-Requested-

Masterlist

Dating Yunho was interesting. You loved him and you knew that you were going to fall in love with him the moment you first met him. There was something special about him. Maybe it was his smile or his laugh or the way he moved when he would dance - you honestly didn’t know which one caught your eye first. 

Being a dancer, you had met him 2 years before when you attended a dance workshop. You didn’t know he’d be there, too. You had heard of him before, of course. He was the main dancer of ATEEZ and you were always intrigued by most main dancers; interested to see how they moved. Yunho was no exception. His movement was mesmerizing and his body control was insanely impressive. 

You knew he was a good dancer, you just didn’t expect him to be that good. Out of all of the other dancers that attended the workshop, he was the best, and you couldn’t help but steal glances at him through the mirror, thinking he didn’t notice.

Oh, he did.

And he was watching you as well. Yunho had never been so taken away by a dancer before and you had him wrapped around your finger, you just didn’t know it. Yunho had approached you first. He didn’t expect it either, but he felt like he just couldn’t let you go - he was completely mesmerized by you. He tried his hardest not to be, but how could he? Yunho was completely pulled by the way you moved. There were fifteen other dancers in the room and his eyes were only on you.

He struggled with his words, his tall form suddenly seeming small as he stood in front of you. He was trying to ask you out but at the same time didn’t want to make a fool of himself. You knew of his dating ban. Yunho was a fresh idol and it surprised you that he was willing to ignore the dating ban when he asked you out.

Since you were both dancers, Yunho actually came to you often for tips or if he needed an opinion. He trusted yours the most. What you were definitely not expecting from dating Yunho was that after you two had become public, the two of you were asked to perform a dance duet at the Golden Disk Awards - together. 

“A camera?” You questioned when you saw Yunho pull the vintage polaroid camera out of his bag. 

“It’s just an idea. I think it’ll be a nice lil’ prop. It’s the GDA anyways, we have to think of something impressive.” He shrugged as he made his way over to the sound system, putting the camera onto the desk and his bag on the chair. 

“We don’t even have a song yet, Yun.” You pointed out as you watched him plug his phone into the sound system. 

“I’m thinking Photograph.” He stated. 

“Ed Sheeran?”

“Cody Fry.” 

“Cody Fry?” You questioned. Yunho looked up at you for a moment. He blinked a couple times before turning back down to his phone. 

“You’ve never heard it? I play it all the time when I visit you.” He muttered with a pout just as the song started playing. “I think it might get some attention.” He hummed as he walked over to where you were stretching, his big arms wrapping around your waist. 

“What makes you think that?” You hummed as you looked at the reflection of you two through the mirror. 

“This song makes me feel like I’m falling in love with you over and over again.” He chuckled, pressing a kiss to the top of your head. Yunho started to sway to the rhythm of the music with you still in his arms. “I would really love to do this song with you.” He softly said as he rested his chin atop your head. 

“Your fans are still quite sensitive about the dating news. Isn’t a song like this a bit too soon?” You looked up at him with hesitation in your eyes but he simply smiled down at you softly. 

“They’ll be fine.” He reassured you and leaned down to press a chaste kiss to your nose. “Do you want to lead?” Yunho questioned.

“It’s up to you. I’m fine with anything.” 

The dance session started with Yunho restarting the song. He already had most of the choreo thought out in his mind and it didn’t take him long to actually bring it to life. It was easier to find the right moves once you took the time to listen to the song and feel the beat. 

You were still curious about how Yunho wanted to incorporate the polaroid camera into the choreo since he still had yet to bring it up. You both decided that you’ll both have a portion of the song for a solo dance before coming together. So, you watched from the side as Yunho thought of his solo bit after you had already laid yours out. 

You always saw how talented Yunho was. He moved his body like he was dancing on air. He made it look so easy, but even for you - a dancer for the past eight years - it was difficult for you to catch up to him. 

“What do you think?” Yunho questioned, turning to look at you. Beads of sweat dripped down the side of his face and onto the wooden floor of the dance studio. 

“Your ideas are always beautiful, Yun.” You smiled at him when he looked away from you, his face flushed. 

“You say that all the time, (Y/n).” He muttered out as he turned back to you. 

“That’s because it’s always true.” You giggled and pushed yourself off of the floor. “I think it suits the song well.” You stand beside him and look at your reflection in the mirror. “We’re gonna rock the GDA.” Yunho let out a chuckle.

“Maybe I should find some magic film to take a photograph.” He hummed. 

“That’s cheesy.” You cringed as you looked up at him. 

“Well, my best memories are of us dancing together.” Yunho flashed you a smile. You felt your heart flutter at his words. Dancing together was one of your favourite activities because it genuinely felt like you were both in your own world. The sound of the music as you felt the rhythm flow throughout your body, urging your muscles to move with the beat of the song. 

There was no other way to bring you and Yunho closer. It was music that brought you together and you were willing to show the world how much music meant to the both of you.

“(Y/n)!” You turned around to see Hongjoong coming up to you. “This is your first time performing at an awards show, how are you feeling?” He questioned. You gave him a nervous smile as you wiped your hands on the fabric of the summer dress you were wearing. You both decided that a casual outfit was more fitting with the vibe of the song. 

“I’m sweating so much, I could fill a whole pool.” You joked. 

“I trust you’ll be fine. You and Yunho are amazing dancers.” He praised, a hand gently rubbing your back in an attempt to calm your nerves. “Speaking of Yunho; where is he?” The leader questioned as he looked around the crowded backstage. You looked around as well, trying to see if you could find your six foot boyfriend among the idols. 

“How did we lose him? He’s so tall.” You joked. Yunho’s head popped out of the changing room just as you spoke and his face lit up when he saw you. “Speak of the Devil.” You chuckled as you watched him approach the two of you. 

“Sorry, I was just making sure I brought the camera.” He held up the camera in front of you. It took awhile before you two could find a way to use the camera. It was a simple aspect, but Yunho felt it would add more emotion into your duet. Hongjoong left to look for Seonghwa, leaving you two. “Are you okay? Is it too crowded?” Yunho questioned once Hongjoong was gone. He knew how overwhelming the backstage to an awards show could be. 

“I’m fine.” You reassured him softly. The concern in his eyes didn’t disappear but it lessened, his hand moving to hold yours. 

“If you feel uncomfortable, just let me know. I’ll try bringing you somewhere less crowded.” He squeezed your hands softly. 

You still had another half an hour before your performance but the minutes were going by slowly. You were getting more and more nervous and Yunho could tell. He watched the way you kept moving in and out of the changing rooms, pacing back and forth in the hallways and lingering awkwardly around the girls of ITZY to help calm your nerves despite constantly reassuring him that you were fine. 

“(Y/n), are you sure you’re okay?” Yunho had pulled you into the only unused changing room. You looked around the room, letting out a sigh of relief from the change of environment. 

“It was getting a teensie bit overwhelming.” You confessed softly. Yunho pressed his lips into a straight line before taking your hands in his. 

“We’re on after this performance. Just think of it as practicing. I’m the only person who’s in the room with you - it’s just us and the music.” He soothed as one of his hands snaked around your waist and his other guided one of your hands to his shoulder. “There’s no one watching. We’re spending another day dancing together and there’s nothing in the world that could stop us.” He hummed as he started to sway his body to the imaginary music, slowly bringing you with him. 

“Is this how you cope with all of your performances?” You questioned softly as you moved to rest your head on his chest, his arms wrapping around you and holding you closely against him as the two of you danced slowly; the sound of your heartbeats in the quiet room being all the music you needed. You leaned your head against his chest, letting your heartbeat come into sync with his. 

“I calm down when I think of you. I always think about how you would be cheering me on from wherever you are.” Yunho chuckled as he pulled away to look into your eyes. “Just try to keep whatever that keeps you calm in the back of your mind - like a tab playing chill music while you’re working. You can always come back to it whenever you need to.” He smiled warmly as he cupped your face with one of his hands. 

You stared into his soft brown eyes, your spirits lifting and the overwhelmed feeling washed away quickly. A sense of comfort washed over you instead and you wrapped your arms around his waist, pulling him close to you. 

That moment spent with Yunho was all that you needed to calm down and prepare for your performance. It was like he had reached inside of you and flicked a switch that only he knew how to find. Your performance started and you had found a space in your mind that made you more confident. 

You let the music carry your body, your legs swiftly dragging across the floor of the stage. Yunho was watching you carefully. He felt like he was falling in love with you all over again. The way you completely melded into the rhythm made him realise that you were perfect for the spotlight. 

If I wished myself a superpower, I would make this moment last for hours,

The lyrics filled Yunho’s mind as you performed your part. He looked to the camera in his hands and he wondered whether you knew just how much he connected with this song. He took a glance at you dancing and he really wished that he could make that sight of you dancing last forever.

You caught the attention of the entire venue and Yunho couldn’t have been prouder when he heard the screams and cheers from the crowd. Your duet ended with you being enveloped by his arms in a hug. His heavy breathing and rapid heartbeat calming you through the anxious feeling that you did badly. 

“You did amazing, baby.” Yunho whispered in your ear as you waited for the lights to dim. When they did, you both rushed backstage and he engulfed you in another hug. “I’m so proud of you, (Y/n). You did so well.” He praised through heavy breaths. 

“Did I really?” You questioned, trying to catch your breath as well. “I messed up at one part and I feel like everyone saw you.” You muttered softly but Yunho frantically shook his head. He opened his mouth to speak but was interrupted by his bandmates instead.

“(Y/n)! That was amazing!” Wooyoung exclaimed. You looked between all seven of them. Their wide and proud smiles were enough to convince you that you did do well. 

“You guys are trending.” Jongho lifted his phone to show you the twitter tags. You snatched his phone out of his hand to look at the screen closer. He was right. (Y/n)xYunho_OTP was trending at number 2.

“Oh my god, Yunho!” You bounced excitedly as you showed him the phone. Yunho’s smile widened and his eyes sparkled proudly as he wrapped an arm around your waist. “Oh my god, we’re trending.” You said in almost disbelief as you looked through the tweets. 

(Y/n) and Yunho dance so well together! 

They’re chemistry made the performance so much more fun to watch!! 

It was like watching a love story~

Your smile grew bigger and bigger the more you read the tweets from ATINY. You were expecting more hate from being so public with Yunho, but it seemed that they were perfectly fine with the two of you dating and being on stage together. 

“We need to do performances together more often. You shined on stage, (Y/n).” Yunho hummed as he pulled you closer to him. 

“I just thought of it like you said.” You mentioned and smiled at him. He let out a chuckle and wrapped his arms around you for another hug. 

“You dance perfectly. I really did wish that I could live in that moment forever.” He sighed contently, his head burying into the crook of your neck. “I love you.” 

“I love you, too.” You closed your eyes and buried yourself in his presence. 

“Get a room!” Wooyoung joked, earning a punch to the arm from Seonghwa as the two of you pulled apart. 

“They’re in their own world. Let them be.” He scolded. You and Yunho laughed as you watched him start to scuffle with the older member. Yunho glanced at you as you laughed. 

God, he was so in love with you.

SYTYCD s16: the Final Cut - part 2, Guys

Had a busy week, recorded the show and saw it on Tuesday but hadn’t had time to sit down and sort out my notes. Anyway, this episode was really exciting because they had a really good group of guys.

Before we go, some thoughts about prior rounds - Sad to see Jay go. I figured he would never make it to the live shows even competing as himself and not as Estranja, just because this show is stuck in its cis binary gender world. I’m glad he came out here for two years to make a statement

Same as last week, I’ll include the contestant’s home style in brackets and score each dance out of ten.

Bailey Munoz (b-boy) with Lauren Froderman, contemporary - I’m rooting HARD for Bailey. He is so cute and his talent is off the charts!!! I’m curious as to why he was given contemporary in this round, since it seems (at least for the ladies) they were given styles they struggled with but his contemporary round was good. If that was still his weakest style, he’s gonna take this show by storm. Now for his dance with Lauren - wow!! D-trix reps me with his response. Bailey is really powerful and he knows how to use his strengths. He had a great connection with Lauren. Nice to see him taking care of details like pointing his toes. 10/10

Ezra Sosa (ballroom) with Comfort Fedoke, hip-hop - Stephanie’s little brother. He says he isn’t saucy...but I think Latin ballroom has got to have some of the sauciest styles out there. Maybe he’s thinking more swagger? In any case, I liked his performance a lot! Only thing is he might have been in his head a little bit. The judges gave him good comments but didn’t look very enthused which confused me. 9/10

Vlad Kvartin (ballroom) with Melanie Moore, contemporary - So we barely glimpsed Vlad up till this point. I remember at the end of Academy, the judges mentioned his solo was offputting. But he is still here. This dance was a good effort and Vlad made each movement effortless, but he was stuck in his head and so the dance felt very unfeeling. Also didn’t really help that the choreo makes him scarcely more than a prop for Melanie. There was a moment where he smiled at Melanie and I thought he was finally getting into the dance, but it was an isolated event. 7/10

Aleksander Ostanin (tap) with Lindsay Arnold, cha cha cha - Choreo by Sharna. Aye DWTS ladies! from what I’m seeing, Aleksander has been on (won?) SYTYCD Ukraine. So, this was a hard routine and for the most part he looked very sharp. His downfall was the tricks because he’s not as strong upper body wise (not surprising since he’s a tap specialist). Some transitions also looked slow. He looked like he was enjoying himself, but I wanted him to project more energy. At this point I think he is stronger than Eddie if Nigel wants a tap dancer. He’s really charismatic too. 7/10

Benjamin Castro (contemporary) with Koine Iwasaki, salsa - Interesting partner assignment, but in the end Koine looked like she has been doing salsa all her life. This dance was fire. Benji’s footwork was so sharp. If only he wasn’t flat footed. He also needs to be careful not to let his butt stick out, being tall, but even that happened only 1.5 times. Unfortunately for Aleksander this was a better ballroom routine, and right after him too. 8/10

Bryan “Clocks” Volozanin (animation) with Jasmine Harper, jazz - This guy has a great positive attitude and approach, it’s a shame this dance wasn’t stronger. It was honestly kinda basic save for some jumps that Clocks didn’t pull off great (but at least we got a throwback to some of Dominic’s less than stellar ones too). 6/10

Brandon Talbott (contemporary ballet) with Lindsay, cha cha cha - choreo-ed by Emma and Sasha. Shoutout to my DWTS squad today!! I loved the choreography here, especially that cartwheel move at the end. He tried to channel his inner saucy persona, “Brando”, but sadly “Brando” didn’t come through. He still looked very ballet and pulled-up. Lacked hip action. There were some moves he was obviously pushing through. Shame, he looked good in that black jacket. 6/10

Nathan Cherry (hip-hop) with Melanie, contemporary - Haven’t seen him until now, so there ya go. Cheating storyline for an 18-year-old? I feel like that’s setting him up in a bad way. Uh anyway, this dance really really confused me. The performance itself blew hot and cold. Sometimes he was too gangly. Sometimes it almost seemed like he made a connection but the next moment it would be flat and unfeeling. Choreo didn’t give Nathan much to show either. I felt disconnected from this piece. But the judges seemed to really like it. Hence my confusion. 5/10

Gino Cosculluela (contemporary) with Lauren, jazz - first of all, it took me multiple tries to spell his last name. I think Gino’s biggest downfall will be the high expectations people have of him. Like, in this piece he wobbled once and flicked his hands weird once, which for most people would be passable, but I was thinking, this shouldn’t happen for someone of his caliber and background. Gino is very technical. I wanted more sass. The judges were stern in their comments, but Nigel made it sound like it was pretty much given he’d be in the live shows. Or I guess they are calling it studio shows. Don’t get me wrong, I think he deserves a spot. It’s just he still has room to grow and will have to fight greater expectations. 8/10

Eddie Hoyt (tap) with Comfort, hip-hop - Oh, Eddie, Eddie, Eddie. I wanted to root for him but the guy’s ballroom routine was really rough and he should have gone home there and then. But Nigel gave him a chance. Then, I actually kinda liked his last solo. It was different, and I liked the way he played with the music/sound. Was it the smartest choice given the stakes? No. In any case, I feel like he has a shot just because Nigel always needs a tap dancer. (And Aleksander hadn’t been shown until this week if that says anything about his chances of making the live shows.) I was sure Eddie would get ballroom in this round, but apparently he was assigned to it during the big Academy group number (which Mandy totally fudged, by the way. Cutting and pasting all your other dances? How original is that? /s) and did better then. Now, I had doubts for this round, but Eddie might have just done it. This was a great dance. He was in the groove. He still had that cute boy face at times but because the theme wasn’t too serious or swaggy I think he got away with this one. He probably had the roughest Academy of the ten remaining guys, but pulled this performance out at just the right time. 9/10

So, before I watched my recording I got spoiled on Twitter about Bailey and Benji getting in. Based on the judges’ reactions and previous rounds, my guesses for the other 3 were: Eddie Gino Nathan

Man, this was hard! I really waffled between Nathan and Ezra for that last spot, because I thought one was good today but the judges seemed unconvinced while the other was meh to me but the judges were positive about. In the end, it’s Ezra, Gino and Eddie joining Bailey and Benji in the live shows.

Lol Mary really pulled one on Ezra. He had convinced himself they were sending him off and was already saying his thanks and goodbyes before Mary even finished what she was saying.

The male talent pool was undoubtedly outrageous this season, though. I feel like a handful of those who didn’t get in could have displaced the top ladies in a mixed pool.

Who’s your favourite going into the top 10?

[sytycdfeelz]

S14, Top 9

I’m still sad about last week’s elimination, but honestly I think that will happen every week because everyone is great and fully qualified to be there. Ugh.

That being said, let’s get into it because there are a lot of dances tonight - duets, solos, an all-star dance, a group dance...it’s be jam packed!

Group Dance - Loved the energy, loved the all-stars, loved Lex (seeing as though he was really the only one featured in that). Seriously though, I don’t understand how Lex can flip as well and as high as he does. Crazy talented. 

Logan and Allison, Jive (Emma and Sasha) - I love the DWTS crossover choreo, and that was a really fun piece! Logan really got to show a different side of himself than the “alien contemp” dancer. Allison has got to be the absolute best coach / mentor because she really makes anyone who dances with her be their best self, even in a completely foreign style.

Kaylee solo - I liked her dancing but her face always looks concerned. Anyone else notice that?

Sydney solo - Another great ballroom solo from Sydney, but definitely something weird happened because her aerial turned into a cartwheel. Weird.

Koine and Marko, Hip Hop (Dave Scott) - The audience was seriously going NUTS in the background of that dance. Anyone else catch that they spelled Koine’s name wrong? Come on, interns! The chemistry between these two is still phenomenal and regardless of the style they get, they might be able to ride that pretty damn far. That being said, both of them were awesome in that dance. Koine really got into character and hit on the choreography. And again, she made Marko look good when his partners in the past (at least as an all-star) have not. 

Dassy and Fikshun, Jazz (Ray Leeper) - These two could have their own variety show, and I swear it would be a success. They are so great together. As for this routine, I’m a bit on the fence about it. I absolutely loved the energy and the fun costumes and the overall vibes. However, you could see some holes in Dassy’s technique. It seemed to be lacking a little bit of sharpness, especially on some of the kicks. I also didn’t think Ray really highlighted Dassy enough in that, and it also didn’t feel much like jazz to me. All that being said, I did enjoy it but wasn’t crazy wow’ed. 

Kiki solo - Gotta hand it to the guy...he really knows how to rock a ballroom solo. And play to his fans. 

Mark and Comfort, Contemporary (Talia Favia) - That was pretty incredible to watch. I just pretty much stared in awe the entire time. Their connection was on POINT. Each movement was perfectly synchronized and their support of each other was visually and physically palpable. I hope I’m not being super biased because Mark danced for @taylorswift, but I really adore him.

Taylor solo - Someone else on here was saying that the stage looked slippery, and that was pretty evident for poor Taylor. She was all shaky on her poses and spins...very un Taylor like.

All Star Group Dance - Travis Wall will change the world. 

Lex and Gabby, Broadway (Warren Carlyle) - Lex is a freaking chameleon. I didn’t even recognize him in this with all the fun he was having! I’m so glad he’s coming into his own week after week. There was so much in this routine, and it all seemed like it was on warp speed. Lex didn’t miss a beat, and again, can he defy gravity? That leg flare OMG. 

Logan solo - This kid is like Travis, Jakob Karr, and Robert all rolled into one, and I am HERE FOR IT.

Sydney and Paul, Hip Hop (Luther Brown) - This is another one that I was pretty indifferent to. I thought it was a fun concept, but as Nigel said, a little basic. They were clearly having fun with it, but I didn’t get the commitment or grove of it from Sydney. She feel a little flat for me, especially next to Paul.

Koine solo - I think my favorite thing about her is that she doesn’t do angsty solos. She shows her passion and personality, and they are both excellent! And they spelled her name right!

Top 9 Group Dance - Love this piece! It was so much fun, and I feel like everyone had a real chance to shine. Standouts for me were Logan, Lex and Taylor.

Kaylee and Cyrus, Jazz (Specer Liff) - I seriously hate when people talk about props like “dropping the [insert any prop here] would be disaster”. It wouldn’t. Seriously though, I liked this dance a lot. The stylized choreo and quirkiness of it were perfect for Kaylee, and I thought their timing and synchronicity were on point. I agreed with Mary that some of the jumps were a little labored-looking, but it didn’t detract anything from the routine for me. It reminded me a little bit of the suspender dance with Sara and Pasha from S3 (and later Jenna and Lindsey haha), which is one of my all time favs.

Mark solo - My aesthetic = Mark dancing to an Ed Sheeran song. GREAT solo. 

Taylor and Robert, Samba (Jean Marc) - First and foremost, I absolutely love Jean Marc and need him on the show every week to keep things interesting. I agreed with Nigel’s comment on the lack of chemistry / flirtation and Vanessa’s on lack of fire. It was a little bit “dance competition” feel for me with the smiley faces. I also didn’t love the song, which isn’t their fault but just an observation. It was sad to see the sad looks on their faces during their critiques. Breaks my heart!

Dassy solo - Damn she’s good. So committed and focused in her movements, and it’s great to watch.

Lex solo - HOW? Just HOW?

Kiki and Jenna, Contemporary (Mandy Moore) - Man, I forget what an absolutely beautiful dancer Jenna is, especially in contemporary. That was a beautiful piece by Mandy, and I thought they both performed very well. Honestly, there wasn’t much that Kiki had to do outside of partnering Jenna, but he partnered the hell out of her. Everything looked so effortless and beautiful. Their chemistry was tangible, and I’m starting to come around on these two. 

Spoilers ahead -- you’ve been warned!

Bottom 3: Dassy (what???), Sydney (not all that surprised unfortunately) and Mark (um NO)

When you get in the bottom a couple weeks in a row at the beginning and then have a mediocre routine, it’s hard for the judges to find a reason to keep you, unfortunately. Sad to see Sydney go, but I think it was the right decision. 

[ghostlywritten]

No Point I.

“Jagiya!” Taehyung yelled as soon as the door to your practice room opened up, loud enough to be heard over the beat coming out of the stereo. You glanced over at him through the mirror whilst he waved enthusiastically, but proceeded to finish the choreo. He pouted as you ignored him until the song ended and held his arms up for you when you were done. 

“I expect a hug that will heal the wound in my heart for ignoring me,” he whined and you sighed with a small smile, hugging him to get the puppy look off his face. And because it felt too good to resist him. He snuggled you into him, swaying you from side to side like a child would with a stuff toy and you could only imagine the big toothless smile on his face.

“What has my jagi been doing all day? I didn’t get to see you at all,” he complained, tightening his grip when you tried to let go. “Practicing, Tae. You know our comeback is coming up soon,” I said into his white shirt, inhaling his smell that always seemed to lift my mood for some reason.

“I do, but I should still be able to see you everyday, shouldn’t I?” he continued, childishly and I chuckled at his behaviour. Looking up at him you noticed the notoriously playful glint in his eyes, but also a small amount of frustration. Well, don’t blame me, blame the work. “Yeah, you should, but I guess we can’t help it,” You said, shrugging. Taehyung bit his lip before he smiled brightly again, trying to hide his disappointment. You furrowed your eyebrows. Did I say something wrong?

“Well, are you free tonight? We could go and eat ice cream or stroll around the Han River, it’s your favorite place, right? Or OH! We could cuddle.” You laughed at his excitement, he was just too cute. “I will take the cuddle, I will be too tired to do anything else,” you chose, sighing as you rested your head against his chest. Even though you loved dancing and that you got the opportunity to do it professionally you more and more had the feeling that your passion turned into some kind of duty, a very tiring duty.

Taehyung hummed in sympathy, rubbing your back. “Cuddling it is.” You sighed in contentment that night as you cuddled in the sofa after he requested your version of hot chocolate, glaring at his other members when they asked for one as well and stating that those hot chocolates were to only be made for him. Zipping through the TV shows he stopped at some movie to keep his and your members quiet and hold your attention, making sure the movie was lame enough for you to not get entranced by it like you usually would with movies, even going as far as to completely forgetting his presence from time to time. That’s how much you loved them sometimes.

“(Y/N),” he whispered and you looked up at him, surprised that he called you by your name and not ‘jagi’, ‘turd’ or 'yeobo’.  “Yes?”

“I love you,” he smiled softly and you felt the words seep into you, lifting every weight and worry off your body. 

You smiled back wholeheartedly, “I love you too, Taehyung.” He pressed his lips against yours for a moment, molding them together and you enjoyed every second of it. Who knew it would be one of the three last kisses you would share.

Yunah. A pretty name for a pretty person with short brown wavy hair, a cute face with delicate features and a rather comfortable fashion style. Together with her kind and funny personality the perfect combination. That’s how you could describe the new trainee girl the best. “Annyeonhaseyeo, I’m Yunah and I’m a new trainee. Please take care of me,” she introduced herself to you and your group. You observed her indifferently, not really caring who she was but rather why she would interrupt your dance practice so close before your comeback stage. Your latest single mv was released already, so it was about time you went to perform it. You smiled as you thought of Taehyung’s proud smile as he watched the video for the first time, yelling 'That’s my girl right there!’. Shaking your head you zoned back into the conversation your other members held with the new trainee girl, not yet realising the significant amount of impact she was going to have in your life.

“….and she is from Daegu. And she likes japchae, too!” Taehyung rambled as he sat, leaning against the mirror wall whilst you practiced the moves you were not confident with yet. “We should ask her to go eat japchae with us one day. So she can get comfortable. I remember how uncomfortable I was when I came here with my accent and all.”

“Yeah I remember, too,” you remarked and his eyes snapped to you with a playful glare. He suddenly stood up, walking up to you. “Come on jagiya, you’ve trained enough for today.”

“But I’m not good with the moves, yet,” You objected, twirling out of his reach. He chuckled, his eyesmile causing you to stop and let him get to you, “You are more than ready for the comeback stage, don’t worry,” he reassured, cupping your cheeks, his thumb grazing your skin lovingly. You nearly melted into puddle, but shook yourself out of it. 

“One last round and then I’m done,” you offered and he groaned, “But I’m tired, jagi~,” he whined, throwing a little tantrum that you couldn’t help but giggle. “I won’t take long, I promise.” ….

“Won’t take long, my ass,” Taehyung grumbled after one hour when you finally decided to call it a day.

“Aww come on, jagi,” you chimed, in a way better mood than before now that you had managed the moves skillfully, “It was only an hour.”

“An hour that you could have spent cuddling with your precious boyfriend,” Taehyung complained as he looked down on his phone that blinked up. You casually looked down as the name 'Yunah’ flashed on his screen.

“Well, we can spent time together now,” you reasoned and hugged him from behind. He placed his free hand on yours, hesitating. “I have to go now, though.”

“Hm?” You perked up, stopping yourself from snuggling more into his back.

“I have to go, yeobo,” Taehyung repeated and freed himself gently from your arms.

“But why?” you asked, pouting slightly without realising it and he stared at your lips for a second. 

“Ehh, manager-hyung messaged us to meet up now. Some urgent matter.” I briefly thought back to the name that flashed on his screen a few minutes ago. 'Since when is manager-hyung called Yunah.’ You wondered dryly, but shook it off as you smiled at him, sadly.

“Alright, I will see you later then?” He nodded cheerfully, pecking your lips quickly before rushing out. The second last kiss and it was way too short. That night you would wait for him, but end up falling asleep on the couch in vain, not a single response from the endless calls you made.

The next day you woke up with one message from him, apologizing and stating that he had to stay back with the others to do some music. You replied with a simple 'okay’, not being able to think of anymore as you had to get ready for the comeback stage. You would have to travel throughout the country and perform on different stages, not to mention the fanmeetings. 'Damn I should have spent time with him instead of practicing,’ you thought mournfully but soon left it behind you. Quite different from Taehyung. 

Unfortunately he knew from past experiences that a simple 'okay’ from you meant that absolutely nothing was 'okay’. And even though you really meant the 'okay’ this time he didn’t know. And so - whilst you were too busy to check on your phone for the week - he bombarded you with messages filled with endless apologies like he usually would even if he wasn’t always entirely sure why he had to after you 'okay-ed’ him. And after the week of you unintentionally ignoring him he quite frankly got sick of it.

“She never talks to me,” Taehyung said through a mouthful of japchae. He could never get enough of it. “And I always have to apologize. And I sometimes don’t even know why!”

“I’m sure she has her reasons.”

“Yeah, well it would be nice if she could share her reasons with me then,” Taehyung huffed. “I mean, communication is the key to a good relationship, right?”

“Wow,” Yunah chuckled, who was sat in front of him in the restaurant. “You seem to know more about relationships than her,” she mused jokingly, causing him to laugh as well.

“I mean, everytime we fight it’s me who has to give in because she is so damn stubborn! Is it really possible that it’s always my fault?”

“No of course not,” Yunah tried to reassure him and placed her hand on his. Taehyung halted in his movements and glanced down at her hand. When was the last time you took his hand. Wasn’t it always him taking your hand? The young boy growled in frustration, startling Yunah. 

She slowly retracted her hand from his, “S-Sorry, I thought-”

“No! No, it’s fine,” Taehyung exclaimed, grasping her hand instinctively. “Don’t be sorry. I was just thinking about (Y/N).”

“And that causes you to growl like you want to kill someone?” Yunah laughed and Taehyung smiled at her, suddenly noticing how melodious her laughter sounded. Maybe because she never held back her laughter or hid her face in her hands like you would. You would always say you looked ugly when you laughed even though he begged to differ.

“No, it’s just that…I feel like I’m the only one who puts effort in this relationship.” Yunah felt her heart go out to him. She, herself, had been in a relationship like that where the boy didn’t appreciate her like he should, causing her to break it off while breaking her heart at the same time.

“I know how you feel,” she said, squeezing his hand and he smiled in relief.

“Thank you!” They sat there, staring at each other and again - out of nowhere - Taehyung noticed something he hadn’t before. Her eyes. Her beautiful, twinkling eyes that reminded him of yours a little. 

A phone rang and they broke out of their reverie. “Oh sorry. That’s mine,” Taehyung said, fumbling for his phone. Yunah cleared her throat, feeling a blush creep up her cheek. What was she thinking? He had a girlfriend. 

“It’s the hyungs,” he declared and she turned her attention back to him. “They found a new place to 'party hard’,” he quoted and they both chuckled, “I should probably go and watch over them.”

“Oh? You watch over them?” Yunah asked, amused.

“Yes, I do,” he agreed.

“So you are the moralizer of the party?”

“Nah, but I’m the only one with the clear mind at the end,” he said, tapping her forehead. Yunah furrowed her eyebrows before understanding, “You don’t drink?”

“Not anymore, nope.” 

She nodded her head, but asked why to keep the conversation going as they waited for the bill. Taehyung shrugged, “(Y/N) doesn’t like drinking. She wouldn’t want a drunk guy as a boyfriend.”

Yunah kept quiet for a while, reminiscing the memories of her last relationship, how she twisted and bended herself out of shape to fit his standards. For the second time on that night she took his hand in hers, “Tae, (Y/N) is not here tonight. So just for tonight, be yourself and 'party hard’.”

Taehyung looked at her, pondering before he slapped his free hand on the table. “You know what? You are right. Tonight I’m gonna be free and myself.”

“There you go!” she exclaimed cheerfully and he grinned, gleefully. He didn’t know when the last time was that he could breathe so easily. Every weight on his shoulders - practice, perform, act cheerful when he wasn’t, you - seemed lifted off his shoulders. The young idol looked down at their joined hands before he looked back at her. 

“Do you want to come, too?” 

She looked into his eyes in surprise. “Eh, I don’t know, Tae.”

“Come on, Yunah. It’s gonna be fun. Plus, you already know the others and they like you,” he listed off the reasons why she should go and she couldn’t help but think how adorable he was. 'He deserves better than (Y/N).’

“Alright, I guess I can come for an hour,” she agreed. 

“Great! Let’s go!” And off they went, not knowing what would happen that night. ————————— Scandal: V from BTS spotted with a trainee at a party

Namjoon aka Rapmonster stared at the tabloid in shock. “Taehyung!” he yelled out, enraged. Stalking up to his room he pushed the door open with a bang, causing the occupants to flinch in their beds and groan with pounded heads. The leader went up to the sleepy boy and shoved the tabloid in his face. “When did this happen?”

“What is it?” Taehyung mumbled, picking himself up lazily. 

“What that is? It’s an article writing about how you were spotted making out with a girl, Taehyung!”

“Bwoh?!” the boy bolted up upon hearing the news and scanned the tabloid thoroughly. He felt the blood drain from his face when he saw a picture, but sighed in relief. “Hyung, you can’t see anything in that picture. There is no proof, so we can just deny it.”

“Deny it? So it is true? You made out with a girl. A girl that is not (Y/N), your girlfriend?” Namjoon remarked, disbelievingly. How could he stay so calm about this. Taehyung scratched his head, closing his eyes at the pounding hangover and sighed, “Of course not, hyung. I don’t remember anything, but you know I would never do that.”

“Good, because she is not going to like this. And neither will manager-hyung.”

“Calm down, hyung. He won’t be mad.” …..

“ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MIND, TAEHYUNG?!” the manager yelled in their meeting room.

Taehyung cowered in his seat. “Or maybe he will,” he muttered to Namjoon, who vigorously nodded his head next to him.

“How could this happen? When did this happen? And when did I allow you guys to go out anyway?!”

“Hyung,” Jungkook spoke up, weakly, “We were free that night and you said we could do whatever we wanted.”

“Do whatever you wanted, yes, but not something that would cause a freaking scandal! Do you even know what we will have to go through from now on?!” the manager continued to yell at the seven boys, who seemed to get smaller and smaller with each word. “Bang Si-Hyuk will not be happy about this. Especially because it’s true!” 

Taehyung snapped his head up, astonished. “Hyung, that rumour is false. That never happened!”

“Oh, it didn’t, you say?” the manager almost laughed at the innocent puppy look on their faces. “Were you not at that party? Did you not get drunk? Did Yunah not confess and apologize to me countless times about what happened?!”

“What?” Taehyung said, confused, “What did she say?”

“She came up to me this morning, apologizing about getting drunk with you guys and kissing you in public. Taehyung, I do not care about your personal relationships, but I thought I made it clear that you were to hide it from the publici…” Taehyung didn’t hear the rest of it, he couldn’t. All that he thought about was the fact that he kissed a girl other than you. He…cheated on you.

Feeling the panic built up inside him slowly, he clenched his fists, trying to keep his calm. What if you found out? What if you read that article? What if you had already read it?! Flinching and startling his members in the process he began to frantically search for his phone. 

No messages. His heart started to pump like he just ran a marathon as he pressed the number he knew inside out, holding it up to his ear.

“Yah, Taehyung! Are you even listening?” Manager-hyung grumbled, put off by the unusual rude behaviour of the young boy.

“(Y/N)…,” he whispered as the call went to voicemail, his eyes so wide and looking at him with a desperation it started to worry the older man, “She is not picking up.”

“Maybe she is busy right now,” Jin reasoned, trying to comfort his dongsaeng.

Taehyung suddenly jerked up. “I need to see her!” And with that exclamation he went to run out of the room, however he was held back by his members.

“Where do you think you are going?”

“She is on her comeback stage tour.” 

“You can’t see her now.” Taehyung closed his eyes tightly, banging his fist against the wall in frustration. What if you knew and broke up with him? He couldn’t let that happen. The others gathered around him, trying to help out but he was inconsolable. 'I will never ever drink again…’ ———————————— “Ughh, I will never wear these shoes again,” you huffed as you were finally set in the car that would take you back to Seoul, now that you had wrapped up your last comeback stage. Taking off the heels you gave your feet a generous and very much needed massage. Whoever came up with the concept of wearing heels whilst dancing such complex choreos was crazy.

“Eww, (Y/N)-ah, put your shoes back on, your feet stink,” one of your Royalty members playfully complained and you lightly threw one heel at her. She yelped in exaggerated pain, falling on top of the member next to her.

You sat back in your seat as the car started and headed back home, staring out of the tinted window. Thinking of what would await you there you smiled at the thought of Taehyung and decided to check up on him after days of neglecting him. Pulling out your phone you found it dead as it had no battery left. You looked at your seat neighbour, who clung to her phone like her life depended on it.

“Unnie, can I borrow your phone for a seco-?”

“No! I haven’t seen my baby for a week! I’m not giving this away.”

“What? Baby? Unnie~ I didn’t know you had a boyfriend.”

“I don’t. I’m talking about my phone.” You sighed/chuckled at her response. She truly loved technology. Aish, you would have to wait until you got back to hear from him.

After five hours of a seemingly endless drive you finally arrived back in your dorms, only to be surprised by the whole BTS gang in your living room.

“WELCOME BACK!” they yelled from the top of their lungs, causing your leader to shut the door close in shock without getting in. You girls stood there for a minute, staring at the door before you burst out laughing, opening it again.

“You pabos scared us so bad!” one of your members exclaimed as soon as you opened the door the second time only to see them rolling on the floor with tears of laughter in their eyes. You chuckled at this until some kind of whirlwind rushed through the girls and crashed into you, knocking the breath out of you. You immediately recognized the scent surrounding you and laughed as you hugged him back. “Hey Tae,” you whispered.

“Hey (Y/N),” he whispered back, tightening his grip as you tried to back away to see him. You giggled at his sudden need for closure. “Missed me that much?”

He nuzzled your neck affectionally. “You have no idea.”

“Aww, you lovebirds,” the Royalty members cooed, before they simultaneously went, “Eww, I’m gonna barf.” 

You laughed at their reaction, yet again failing to get out of Taehyung’s arms. “Jagiya,” you laughed and he finally loosened his grip around you.

The rest of the night he wouldn’t move from your side, when you went into your room to put your bags inside, when you went into the kitchen for a glass of water, he had even tried to follow you into the bathroom until you shut the door on his face, laughing.

“Seriously Tae,” I started as he snuggled closer to you on the couch while you tried focusing on the movie. You leaned into him when he squeezed you tightly, “You’ve been so touchy all day. What’s going on?”

“What do you mean?” he snapped, startled, “Nothing is going on. Why, is something supposed to be going on?”

“No…I was just wondering if something happened,” you remarked, confused by his behaviour.

“Yeah, hehehe no nothing happened,” he repeated, fumbling around uncomfortably. You stared at him for a while, watching his eyes shift around but never look at you. Placing a kiss on his cheek you hoped to ease his uneasiness. Whatever it was, he would surely tell you at some point. 

Well, he didn’t but at least his weird behaviour stopped after a while. Instead of being awfully clingy he got awfully distant. And even though you were glad about the space because you had to keep up with members during your comeback time you were also quite disappointed to not see him waiting for you or watching your dance practices like he normally would. 

Like today. Today was a Thursday and he would have practice at the same time as you so you expected him to come over during a break. But you waited in vain, even during your break he didn’t come. Puffing out a breath in frustration you laid down in a starfish position, staring at the ceiling. What was going on? Lately he didn’t seem to have any time for you. Sure, he was preparing for his comeback but that wasn’t due to three months so he wasn’t that busy, yet. 

You looked over at your members, who looked just as exhausted as you felt. “Big break?” you suggested and they nodded, mumbling in agreement. Though you had also other intentions in mind

“Hey the Bangtan Boys haven’t come over for sometime now,” you tried to bring up casually. They pondered for a second before coming to the same conclusion.

“Why don’t we go and watch them for a change then?” our leader spoke and you immediately jumped up.

“That’s a great idea!” you exclaimed, enthusiastically. Noticing how the others looked at you in amusement, you coughed awkwardly. “I mean, sure. Let’s go,” you said, acting nonchalantly.

“Oh don’t give me that,” your eldest laughed, pushing you as you all made your way to the door, “We know you can’t wait to see your Taehyungie.” You felt your heart flutter at him being called yours and smiled unconsciously.

Peeking into the window at their door you saw them doing the ending pose of their song and you girls quickly opened the door, clapping obnoxiously for them with cheers like “That was great” and “Fighting!” and “Wooooo”. They laughed loudly, the tension that previously dominated their expressions fading when they started to relax.

“What are you doing here?” Jimin asked. You silently admired how friendly he seemed saying that whilst it always came off as cold when you said it. Shaking your head slightly at the distraction you walked up to Taehyung with a small smile, “Hey.”

“Hey,” he greeted back, hugging you half-heartedly and you wondered where his bear hugs went off to. It was silent for a moment as he was usually the one to open up a conversation you would continue for hours but this time it seemed like he was intent on avoiding your eyes for some reason.

“We were just going to have break, too,” Hoseok mentioned and that was the cue for everyone to sit down in a circle and chat around mindlessly. You kept glancing at your boyfriend, who was oddly quiet for his 4D alien nature.

“Is everything alright?” you asked, placing a hand on his. He mumbled a distracted 'yes’ and slowly pulled away, leaving your hand hanging. Retracting it you tried not to feel hurt about it.

Suddenly the door opened and in came Yunah with a bag of take out’s, “Hey guys- Oh,” she halted in her movements as she noticed us, her eyes widening when they landed on you. You gave her a quizzical look and she quickly looked behind you before composing herself. You glanced back to see Taehyung with a slightly panicked expression and his hands tightened into fist that you could see his knuckles straining against his skin. 'What on earth is going on?’

Turning back to the newcomer you saw her bow politely to everyone. “Annyeong sunbae-nims. I’m Yunah, a trainee here.” Your members smiled warmly at her and you gave her a nod of acknowledgement like you usually would, though with narrowed eyes. “I bought chinese take outs,” she said to the guys, holding the plastic bag up and they cheered, Hoseok and Jimin scrambling to help her with it. 

Spreading the goods around, you noticed how Taehyung’s lightened up as she gave him his food, smiling his rectangular grin and your heart tightened. She turned to us with an apologetic look, “I’m so sorry, I didn’t know you would be here,” she said, looking down guiltily at the now empty plastic bag.

“It’s fine,” one of your members reassured with a smile, “Our break is over now, so we have to go anyway.” 

With that you girls stood up and said your goodbyes, you deliberately ignoring Taehyung’s outstretched hand as he expected a hug. Well, he expected in vain, causing him to frown at your back in confusion, his rejected hand still hanging mid-air. 'Why are you being like that?’ he wondered, before sighing to himself. It wasn’t like he had any right to reprimand her for this cold behaviour, which he was actually used to from previous fights. His heart stopped in realisation. She couldn’t have known, could she?

A hand on his shook him off of his thoughts and he looked up to see Yunah sitting down and smiling at him with worry, “Taehyung oppa,” she said and he felt warm at the 'oppa’. You would never call him that, before you got together it was always a formal 'sunbae’. Yet again he sighed at the negative thoughts he had about you. 'Am I really supposed to think about you - my girlfriend - like that?’ This relationship gradually didn’t make sense to him anymore. Maybe that was why he got so distant with you. Maybe that was why he didn’t push Yunah’s hand away like he did with yours earlier. And maybe…that was why things turned out like they turned out.

“Taehyung oppa,” a voice called out to him as soon as he stepped out of the room with his members and the manager staring at him, judging him, silently scolding him for his drunken mistake. Taehyung closed his eyes tightly before he turned to the person he wanted to see the least. No, it was actually he didn’t want to see, fearing you would see what he had done in his eyes, the guilt eating him away.

“Yunah,” he nodded at her, before pushing past her, slightly resenting her for snitching to the manager what he had done.

“Please oppa, wait!” she called out to him and he didn’t have the heart to ignore. After all she had to bear the consequences, too. He stopped and waited for her to catch up. 

“I’m really sorry for what happened last night,” she breathed out quickly.

“Yunah I-.” he pinched the bridge of his nose, feeling a slight headache building. “What even happened?”

“Wha- you don’t remember?” she asked, surprised and he thought he even saw hurt flash across her face.

“No. I’m not a really good drinker. I never remember.”

“Well,” she shuffled nervously and he watched her intensely when she blushed, “we went to the party your hyungs had told you about and I had told you to let loose for tonight because you were so stressed about (Y/N) not answering you. And so we got really, really drunk and…we danced…and started k-kissing at some point,” she stuttered, turning as red as a tomato. If it hadn’t been such a serious matter he would have laughed at how shy she was being.

“That’s it? Nothing else happened?” he probed and she quickly nodded her head, watching him sigh in relief. “Don’t worry, Yunah. It’s going to be fine. We will just declare this rumour as false. It won’t affect your or my career,” he said, placing a reassuring hand on her shoulder. She bit her lip, heart beat picking up at his touch.

“I’m really sorry for what happened last night,” she repeated and he nodded his head with a slight smile though it slipped at her next words, “but I don’t regret it.”

“What?” he asked, shocked and she blushed again yet refusing to back down as she looked up in determination.

“I don’t regret it, Taehyung oppa. I know I’m the worst person for kissing you when you have a girlfriend, but I can’t deny my feelings. I like you and I won’t ever regret liking you.”

He stood there shocked as she slowly moved away from him. “I know there is no way we will be together since you have your (Y/N). I just wanted to get this off my chest,” she said, feeling relief coursing through her at finally confessing even if the inevitable heartbreak would follow. She was proud of herself for confessing and standing up to her feelings after her emotional break up with her last boyfriend.

Days passed with sleepless nights for Taehyung as he waited for you to come back and yet hoping you wouldn’t because he had no idea how to face you. What if you knew already and didn’t want to see him ever again? He growled in frustration, tossing around in bed until he got hit by a pillow from his roommates, telling him to keep it down.

The day you came he couldn’t have been more relieved that you had no idea about anything. Wanting to make sure you wouldn’t find out in anyway he stuck by you throughout that day and the days after until he was sure the scandal had died down and the tabloids wouldn’t mention it anymore. Afterwards he distanced himself from you, the guilt that had been hidden by the panic of losing you coming to the surface and he couldn’t let you see it.

“Just tell her already,” Jin advised him, “She will be glad that you told her.”

“No, she will leave me, hyung,” he said, the dark bags evident under his eyes, “She will leave me for good.”

The eldest sighed, concerned about his dongsaeng’s health and relationship with you. “I’m afraid she will find out at some point. Such things never stay hidden for too long. It’s not like you guys are happy either right now. You keeping a secret from her is putting a wall between you two. It’s not healthy.”

“Better a sick relationship than no relationship with (Y/N),” Taehyung responded, stubbornly. Feeling the urge of escape he walked off the dorm, musing how depressing it was that he couldn’t even forget and be himself in his own dorm with his brothers anymore.

Deciding to catch some fresh air he walked to the Han River close by, letting the breeze freshen him up. He felt slightly better as if the wind picked up all the worries that weighed down on his shoulders, lifting them up and carrying them away for at least a small amount of time. Letting his eyes wander he spotted a small figure a few metres away. Squinting his eyes he recognized her to be none other than Yunah. 

Watching her silently, he felt his breath come to a slight stop at the way her short wavy brown hair swirled around in the wind. How was it that he always felt good seeing and thinking about her but the feelings he had around you lately were such a burden. Why did he feel like you grew more and more apart and he got closer to her instead? When did his feelings for you transferred over to her? He saw her look up at the feeling of someone watching her, her eyes widening. They lightened up when he slowly walked over to her, stopping a metre away.

“Hey Taehyung oppa,” she greeted him sweetly and he closed his eyes at the battle that occured in him.

“That confession…,” he began slowly, feeling one side of him gain the upper hand, “is it still- do you still like me?”

She looked at him in surprise before nodding slightly. He nodded as well, his eyes flickering down to her lips momentarily. “Why do you ask all of a sudden?” she breathed, noticing him come closer.

“I don’t know,” he said so quielty she almost thought she imagined it.

“What are you doing?” she whispered as he leaned down, their foreheads touching. She held onto his bicep for support when her knees nearly gave up on her.

“I don’t know.”

“What about (Y/N)?”

“I don’t know.” And with that he crashed his lips down on her, silencing all the other unanswered questions she had for him. 

That was how their little affair had started. It wasn’t much that they did, but it was more than he did with you for weeks. Meeting up secretly he made the effort to take her to as many different places as he could, feeling on cloud nine whenever she squealed in delight or kissed him, demanding.

“Who is she?” you asked the day he asked to break up with you, void of any emotion.

“What?” he flinched at her tone.

“Who is she, Taehyung?”

“I- Yunah,” he said, defeated. There was no point in lying anymore. You narrowed your eyes a little with your back turned to him. Wasn’t that the trainee girl with the chinese food a few weeks ago?

“And why?” you asked the question he had dreaded. “Why do you want to be with her so much that you forgot about me?” your voice broke and you heard his breath hitch.

“(Y/N)…”

“Why do you love her and not me?”

“(Y/N)-.” You whirled around.

“What happened to us?” he looked at her, sadly.

“There wasn’t much left of 'us’ anymore, (Y/N),” he said and your heart broke.

“We grew apart slowly without realising it.”

“That wasn’t growing apart. That was you distancing yourself from me. Because you fell in love with another,” you saying it out loud made it even more real an tears gradually filled your eyes though you refused to let them out.

“Maybe…”

“When?”

“When what?”

“When did you start falling for her?”

“(Y/N)-”

“When?!” you raised your voice, giving him a stare that struck him to the core. It was obvious that he started falling for her during your relationship - which really stung - and you just wanted to know at what point you two went wrong.

“I-It just happened, (Y/N), I can’t really tell you. I guess when I kissed her-,” he immediately clamped his mouth shut, biting on his lip with a grimace at his mistake as your eyes widened.

“You kissed her?” you choked out and he looked down to the side, away from your pained expression, “You kissed her while you were with me? My boyfriend?”

“Please (Y/N)-”

“That’s cheating, Taehyung!” you cried out and he flinched yet again at the harsh word.

“N-No, it wasn’t. I was drunk during the first kiss.”

“You kissed her more than once!” you yelled and felt like you couldn’t breathe anymore and he closed his eyes, cursing himself, “Taehyung, how could you?” you whispered, all the energy drained from you and your shoulders slumped in defeat, “I-I need to go.”

“(Y/N), please. Let’s not end it like this,” he tried, but you immediately cut off all his hopes of settling this peacefully, “There is no other way to end this.”

He silently followed you to the door, his heart heavy seeing your back slumped like this. You normally walked with your head high, always making sure to not let people see your emotions as it was part of how you grew up. Emotions were a weakness, you would say. Knowing this it ate him alive all the more as you shuffled and stumbled, your hand shaking as you desperately fumbled with the door for a few seconds before finally managing to open it and flee from him.

He had no idea how long he stood there, staring at the spot you were last seen, “…Good bye.”
