Everybody stood up and loud applause filled the theater.

After the whole recital, they all went backstage to greet the two who are currently the talk of the audience for getting a standing ovation from the talent scouts.

"Jiminieeeeee!! Hyuuuuuuung!!"

Taehyung excitedly screamed as he ran towards the two who seemed to be celebrating on their own while others followed behind. Taehyung pulled the two into a tight hug, squeezing them both.

"Yah! I can't breathe!"

Yoongi yelled while tapping Taehyung's arms. The younger chuckled and let go, grinning at the two. Soon, the others begun swarming around the two performers and congratulated them. Of course, Jungkook went to his beloved.

"Congratulations baby!"

He exclaimed after a long, sweet kiss which didn't go unnoticed by the Taehyung who couldn't took his eyes off the couple.

"Ahem..uhmmm...So...WHEN IS THE PARTY!!?"

Hoseok shouted, trying to distract a certain someone, with the brightest expression, confirming that he is the twin of the sun.

"Hyungs, we actually plan to have the celebration this weekend at Jungkook's house!"

Jimin answered, his sweet smile plastered on his face.

"How about tonight? Do you want to at least have a dinner together?" Namjoon asked.

"Hyung...uhmm...We want to celebrate tonight on our own...just us two."

Jungkook responded as he wrapped his arm around Jimin's waist while looking at the smaller adoringly.

"Ah..oh...okay. We're gonna go then!"

Jin stated, trying to sound as cheerful as possible after taking a glance at Taehyung who seemed unaffected as he kept his bright smile but they know him too well to be fooled.

It's fake.

"Sorry, but I have plans tonight."

Yoongi said, gaining all their attention as they all turned their head towards him giving him a questioning look and Taehyung is not an exemption.

"Uhmm..But where are you going, hyung?"

Taehyung asked, disappointment hinted on his tone but Yoongi gave him his gummy sweet smile.

"It's 'we'. I am planning to take you somewhere."

He continued and Taehyung honestly didn't know what to feel. He was excited, shocked, confused and happy.

"Where?"

Taehyung asked, tilting his head on the side.

"You'll know when we get there." Yoongi answered.

"Waaaaaah! You guys are having a date!? How dare you forget about us!!" Hoseok complained, pouting cutely.

"I guess I can own you tonight."

Namjoon said, snaking his arm around Jin's waist, making the older blush.

"So unfair!!! You're all going with your partners! How about me!!?"

Hoseok exclaimed while others let out chuckles.

"We're going ahead. Thank you for supporting us. Let's go, Tae."

Yoongi stated and before Taehyung could even say his goodbye, the older held his hand and dragged him away.

"Ahh...Are they really going on a date?"

Hoseok sighed while looking at the two who were quickly walking away while holding each other's hands.

"Babe?"

Jimin said while looking at his dazed boyfriend who seemed to be staring at the direction where the two went.

"Babe are you okay?"

Jimin repeated as he nudged his boyfriend's arms and finally, Jungkook turned his head towards Jimin and smiled.

"What is it babe?"

Jungkook asked and Jimin looked at him with a little confusion.

"Nevermind. Let's go?"

Jimin shrugged and Jungkook nodded in response.

They bid goodbye to their hyungs and left to have their own date.

~•~•~••~•~•~

"It's beautiful, hyung."

Taehyung commented right after Yoongi's slender fingers pressed the last keys.

"Dead Leaves. That's the title. I wanted you to be the first one to hear it."

Taehyung didn't expect that Yoongi will take him at his house and bring him in his music room but he didn't thought of that much because in fact, he was more surprised by Yoongi's unexpected actions and unknown intentions that seemed to be out of character.

"Thank you hyung. Your music always make me feel calm."

He smiled while staring at the piano keys. It's true. Yoongi's music has the ability to touch people's heart. It has always been like that for Taehyung. He had been thinking of how soulful Yoongi's creations are, the beautiful melody and soothing rhythm never failed to amazed him.

"Thanks. Anyway, that's my apology for leaving you in a tight spot."

Taehyung's eyes widen for a moment but it was followed by a soft chuckle when he realized what Yoongi meant.

He really liked how cool but cute Yoongi can be.

"Really....I had a hard time! How could you all leave me with him!"

Taehyung said while playfuly punching Yoongi's arm and smiling widely.

"Yah! It's not my fault I thought the others were with you!"

Yoongi defended with his eyes getting bigger as he jokingly argue with Taehyung.

"Taehyung..."

Yoongi suddenly got serious. His eyes directly met with Taehyung's and his voice were full of seriousness.

"What's the matter hyu-"

"I'll help you."

Yoongi said and Taehyung looked puzzled trying to figure out what his hyung was saying.

"Get away from him, forget him and just move on."

"Hyung..."

Taehyung furrowed his brows, wondering why did Yoongi suddenly said those things.

"I'll help you."

"Why....suddenly..."

"Because I just want what's best for everybody."

Taehyung bit his lip as he hanged his head low and his gaze fixed on his lap while his hands tightly clutched on his knees.

He felt a little hurt by Yoongi's words, thinking that maybe he shouldn't have came back but he knew that Yoongi didn't mean it that way.

"I just don't want you or everyone to hurt even more, even that stupid brat and I know you don't want any one to get hurt especially your bestfriend."

Taehyung felt a pang on his chest, suddenly feeling guilty because deep inside he knows he's jealous of what his bestfriend have and deep down he was probably wishing for Jungkook to remember him...and it's not right.

It's totally wrong.

"Hyung...please."

He mumbled as he slowly turned his head to the side and was met with Yoongi's stern look.

"Hyung...I just can't stop loving him. I-I wanted to stop but..."

He softly laughed while tears flowed from his eyes.

"I'm pathetic, right?" He tried to mumble while sobbing.

"Hyung....I just want him to be happy. Please...help me."

He pleaded and Yoongi pulled him into a tight hug while rubbing his back in comfort.

"Tae...Don't be stucked in the past."

~•~•~••~•~•~

"

Where are you going?"

"Sorry Jiminie, I promised Yoongi hyung that-"

"Hmmmp! Okay okay! I get it!"

Jimin pouted for a moment and Taehyung became worried because he didn't want to upset his bestfriend that much.

But his worries were gone when Jimin's pout turned into an excited grin.

"But you'll be at the party tomorrow right!? RIGHT!?"

"O-of course! It's your and Yoongi hyung's celebration, of course I'll be there!"

Taehyung was a little surprised at the sudden mood change but he was relieved and he returned a smile, his signature rectangular smile.

"Yay!! Okay then! I'll forgive you this time!"

Jimin gave him a quick hug before running back towards his boyfriend and others who were waiting in front of the usual cafe where they always hang out...but the difference is, two of them are not hanging out with the rest after the night of recital.

Unknown to all, it kept a certain someone thinking and as if there's a cue, one took the words out of his mouth.

"After the recital, they never left each other's side and they would always separate themselves from us. Do you think they're dating? Like maybe Yoongi hyung confessed that night?"

Jimin stated as soon as he sat down, feeling so giddy thinking about his best friend's love life. Probably, that is also the reason why he lets Taehyung hang out with Yoongi even though he misses his best friend at times.

Of course, everyone knows what is Yoongi and Taehyung's real relationship and what they are doing, except for Jimin and his boyfriend whose head was directed at the window, his eyes were glaring at no one in particular while his hands were tightly clenched which didn't go unnoticed by his hyungs.

"Jungkook? Are you okay?"

Namjoon asked but it seemed that the younger didn't notice him at all and Jimin, who was distracted by the thought of his best friend dating, finally noticed the strange behaviour of his boyfriend.

He furrowed his eye brows and tugged Jungkook's arms.

"Babe?"

Finally, after calling him three times, his soul seemed to come back as he looked confused when he turned his head and realized that everyone was looking at him with concerned expression.

"Babe, are you alright?"

Jimin asked while checking Jungkook's face.

"Sorry. I'm just....tired."

Jungkook replied with a weak smile while staring blankly ahead and Jimin turned his head to their hyungs, hoping for an advice. Hoseok replied by raising his shoulders, gesturing 'don't know' while Namjoon mouthed 'it's okay'.

"Jungkook, you should go home and rest. I'll drive Jimin home."

Jin suggested and sweetly smiled at Jimin who smiled back, thanking Gods for having an omma-like friend.

"Babe, you should go ahead and rest. Call me when you get home okay?"

Jungkook smiled and nodded his head in response. He stood up and said his good byes to his hyungs and before he left, he cupped Jimin's face and leaned closer for a kiss but he paused right before their lips collide. Instead, he moved up and pecked Jimin's forehead then he left.

Jimin was a confused because it's the first time Jungkook acted like that and he didn't even said 'I love you'.

In fact, Jimin and the others had noticed the change on Jungkook's behaviour the past few days but they kept their mouths shut and never talked about that issue.

Meanwhile, Jungkook was still lost in his thoughts while he was driving. Although he doesn't want to, a certain someone filled his thoughts.

He didn't know why but the fact that he couldn't be with Taehyung like the usual is pissing him off and the idea that Taehyung distanced himself from him just to be with Yoongi made him even more irritated.

The moments when he could see Yoongi suddenly pulling Taehyung to go somewhere or when Taehyung looked so happy talking with Yoongi and heck! Even the moments when Yoongi and Taehyung were just walking side by side is making him extremely annoyed that he wanted to rip them away from each other.

He doesn't feel good because he thought they were getting closer with each other but now that Yoongi returned, everytime he would invite Taehyung, he would always be politely rejected and that adds up to his pent up frustration.

He says he doesn't know why he's feeling that way or maybe he knows but he just doesn't want to admit it.

Beeeeeeeeeeeeeeppppp!

It keeps happening
even though I run away
I'm caught in a lie
