Last thing Taehyung remembers from last night is being dead drunk. He only remembers laying his head on Jeongguk shoulder and then passing out. He does remember being in his bed later. He has no idea how he magically ended up there.

He really shouldn't drink this much because he would have gotten in trouble with the directors if he just slept halfway through the game but luckily for him when he passed out they were done for the day anyway. 

Waking up with the biggest headache was not a great feeling to wake up to. It felt like someone was pounding his head with a hammer repeatedly. It hasn't stopped hurting the whole morning.

Laying on the daybed with a poker face and his sunglasses on. Everyone else seems to be in a much better situation than him but they are definitely a lot calmer than yesterday so that means almost everyone is going through a hangover but not as bitchy as his.

Suddenly he was being handed a glass of water and a painkiller. The boy came and sat on the daybed. "You are an angel,Jeongguk" Taehyung said to the boy as he took the painkiller and drank the water. Swallowing it and hoping it starts working soon.

"You're welcome. You have been moaning and groaning about it the whole day, why didn't you just take a painkiller before it's afternoon now" The younger asked him a pretty good question. He put the glass on the floor and fiddled with his fingers.

"I have this toxic trait where I think I can take any type of pain and survive without taking pain killers" He gave him a sarcastic smile. Jeongguk chuckled and rolled his eyes.

"So you are just stubborn, You were a stubborn type of drunk too" Jeongguk said and Taehyung raised his eyebrow at the mention. "...what do you mean? did I do something last night?"

"You don't remember anything?" Jeongguk's facial expression looked like he couldn't believe Taehyung.

"Nuh uh,only until I laid my head on your shoulders and then my eyes shut and I was gone" He shook his head with an innocent smile on his face.

"You-" He was cut off by Joohyun who suddenly sat down on the daybed too.

"Am I interrupting something?" She asked as she took off her slippers and put her foot on the bed too.

"Nope. I was leaving anyway. I will take this glass to the kitchen,see you guys around"

He took the glass from the floor and got up from the daybed. Not sparing the other boy another glance and he walked away from the two. Taehyung doesn't know what to feel from that reaction. Is he mad? He didn't sound like it.

"how are you feeling?" Joohyun asked him. "Peachy, have been hangover as fuck from drinking too much last night" He told her the same story and she chuckled.

"Tell me about it,though I'm alright now. You are funny when you are drunk" Joohyun said as if she was reminiscing memories from last night. "God,what did I do?"

"Nothing, Just when we were leaving to go inside you didn't budge at all and were so stubborn that Jeongguk had to literally carry you to the beds. Though when he came out of the bedrooms he looked so flushed,did you kick him in the nuts or something?"

He doesn't remember a single thing that she just said happened. The fact Jeongguk had to carry him to the room like he was some bride that just got wed off was not embarrassing enough…something happened in the bedrooms because he was for sure not a kicker when he is drunk but he definitely is super talkative and he is scared of what he could he have said to Jeongguk that the latter was flushed.

He sat up and looked around to see where Jeongguk was and he was nowhere to be found in this place. Maybe he went inside.

"Don't worry though, Everyone acted up last night and Nabi is still acting up…she's insufferable" Joohyun said to him and Taehyung's ears perked up at what she just mentioned. His worries are long forgotten. "What did she do?"

"Um, don't tell this to anyone as I don't want this situation to blow up. Especially don't tell Jeongguk since you guys are besties or whatever." She warned him as she sat closer to him and their shoulders were now bumping into each other. Taehyung put his hands up to say that he won't.

"So um You know how nabi liked Jeongguk right? everyone knows that,I have watched the previous episodes when I was not here and yeah,it's pretty clear"

"I get it,Please get to the point" He said to her and suddenly her voice dropped 10 octaves and she really didn't want anyone to hear.

"Nabi and I,we fought yesterday in the bathrooms"

…right.

"Did you now?" He said,playing dumb as if he has no idea what she was talking about and the girl nodded.

"Yeah she came to me saying how I'm all over Jeongguk and how I am not leaving him alone and she was making such a big deal about it…all that because we had breakfast together and I asked him about his tattoos like what are you saying woman?" She ranted to Taehyung, who agreed with her.

"That's insane, she has no right to do all that it's not like they are dating,hell they are not even a couple, she's still coupled up with Jimin" Taehyung sided with Joohyun because he knew that's what she wanted to hear.

"Exactly!! I told her the same thing and walked out because I'm not listening to someone bitch about me at fucking 2pm on a Friday,you know what I mean but that's not it" She was still going on and Taehyung wish he had popcorn or something with him.

"There's more?" He asked with light in his eyes. He loves drama that doesn't involve him so far.

"Unfortunately. Last night when everyone was blanked out. I was tipsy but sober enough to know what was going on but Nabi, just like you, was gone. She was so drunk. So we were both in the dressing room,changing and stuff and other girls had left,it was only just us,she came to me and suddenly she was so sweet"

"She's so two-faced" Taehyung added more fuel to the fire.

"I know! I pretend to play along and she just kept talking about how she's sorry for being mean and that we should be friends and all. I agreed because I don't want enemies but that's when she started to piss me off " She trailed off and continued again.

"She started to talk about the whole Jimin situation and I didn't know much so I didn't say much but I knew that she wasn't as innocent as she portrayed herself to be so I just didn't reply. Then she started to ofcourse talk about Jeongguk and other boys, she's going for everyone, it's weird. even asked me if I like Jeongguk. I cleared it up that I don't. I'm seeing you and I want to get to know you only right now"  She smiled at Taehyung who smiled back. It was nice to know she's loyal to me.

"But then she had the audacity to laugh and asked me if I trust you? which was such a stupid question because you really didn't give me a reason to not. So I answered yes and she told me I was dumb to do that because you are…um gay. I told her you are bisexual but she was like no he's gay and he definitely has something going on with my Jeongguk so don't trust him" Joohyun finally stopped speaking and Taehyung was flabbergasted.

He froze for a second because he couldn't believe what he just heard. Was his ears not working or something? did she really just say that? He scoffed and let out a laugh.

"Wait,wait,wait…what?" He laughed once again. "Me and Jeongguk? like that bunny muscle man and me? we have something going on? ahh~" He said to her and Joohyun looked embarrassed.

"Yeah,I asked why she thinks that and she said that you guys kissed and went on a date too. You are always attached to each other inside the Villa and all that" She elaborated and Taehyung wanted to laugh.

"You know what I think of this situation? She's jealous,it's simple. The fact that we both went on a date with Jeongguk and I kissed him and she didn't,is pissing her off. That Jeongguk would rather kiss a man than kiss her. She's so ridiculous" Taehyung leaned on the bed frame,getting worked up.

"I know,I thought the same. I get it she likes him but she's going too far using your sexuality to justify her lack of action with Jeongguk. She seems obsessed" Joohyun said,putting her hand on Taehyung's.

"I think she's more obsessed with the idea of Jeongguk than just Jeongguk himself. He's the bombshell of the season and she wants that to herself because they really don't have anything in common if we think about it. Whatever,it's clear she doesn't like me and I will just keep it that way" Taehyung closed the case,laying back down. So over the bullshit.

when he thought he could have some minutes to himself,suddenly the buzzer buzzed and scared the fuck out of both Taehyung and Joohyun.

"Dear Contestants, You are heading off to another challenge where you will be reading mean tweets from fans but with a little twist! so head to where the challenge is and good luck!" The robot sounded a bit excited this time. Maybe she likes them miserable.

Sighing to himself, Nabi's hate wasn't enough, now he has to hear the fans ' hate too. Maybe this will be good for his game. He can get an idea of what is being shown on the TV and how the audience feels.

So he is going to be extra attentive and will be noting things down in his brain if necessary.

Getting up from the day beds, they all head towards the back yard of this place where the challenges were held. As they walked down the stairs they saw the set which was pretty simple.

There were five podiums with some sort of button on it, it looked similar to the buzzers they have. There was one separate podium on the opposite side from the other podiums. It was probably for whoever would be the MC as there was a bunch of cardboards, with probably the mean tweets written on it, on the podium.

When they got down the staff asked them to go to each podium with the person they are partnered up with.

"Taehyung and Sangwoo,since both of you are single you can choose one of the 3 new girls to be your partner for this challenge" the woman suggested. Taehyung immediately made eye contact with Joohyun.

"I will take Joohyun"

"I guess I will go with Jiyeon"

"OK,Please go to the podiums with your partner. Luna-sshi, Since you are alone you would be today's challenge host,this is the script for you to follow,please let us know when all of you are settled" The woman first faced Luna and then the rest of them. Handing her the host script.

She grabbed it from her and walked to her podium,Reading through it so she could understand the rules of this challenge. All of the couples were now each standing on the podium.

"It's nice standing here as your partner," Joohyun shared with him and He smiled at her. "I feel the same"

A Lot has happened as Taehyung eyes Jeongguk and Bora who are barely talking to each other. The same Jeongguk who some days ago Taehyung thought was trying to steal bora from her when that was not the case.

Then there is Nabi and Jimin who are standing with some space between them. not even bothering to be close,not sparing a glance and just waiting for the challenge to start. Yeri and Jaewon are all over each other as usual and Jiyeon and Sangwoo are just having a small talk.

They were all settled,there's not much to do. They are just waiting for Luna who finally gave the signal to start recording and she started to speak.

"Today's challenge name is Fill in the blanks. I will be presenting you the mean tweets and with the name of the contestant left blank and you will be guessing which contestant you think the tweet is about. There is a buzzer in front of you,press it if you think you know and if you are right you get a point. The couple with most points will get a prize!" She said excitedly with a big smile on her face.

Why does that sound fun? maybe he is just messy. He chuckled to himself and just cheered along with other contestants as the game finally started.

"Blank makes herself out to be the innocent one when she isn't the one who isn't interested in Blank" Luna reads out the tweet as she shows the contestants the cardboard where the tweet is written with black tape on the names.

Before Taehyung can hit the buzzer,Jiyeon and Sangwoo beat him to it. This is so easy to guess if you ask Taehyung.

"Bora and Jeongguk?" She says to Luna,who shakes her head and Taehyung hits the button the same second. Ignoring the side eyes she was getting from Bora.

"Nabi and Jimin!" He can't believe Jiyeon got that wrong but maybe because she is new she doesn't know much.

Luna smiled. "Correct, Nabi…makes herself out to be the innocent one when she isn't the one who isn't interested in…Jimin" She says as she takes off the tape and shows the full tweet.

Putting the card board down and giving one point to Taehyung and Joohyun. The camera pans to Nabi and Jimin who seem silent but they have to say something.

"This is bullshit!" She exclaims,already seeming mad.

"Sounds like the truth to me" Jimin responded to her,His hands inside his pockets. She rolled his eyes and looked away.

Taehyung really wants to say yikes out loud but he's glad the audience knows what Nabi is like. Moving on,she put the cardboard down and grabbed the other to show it to them.

"Blank and Blank need to get their nose out of other people's business" She says out loud.

He doesn't know the answer to this because this can be anyone here if he's being honest. They are all so jobless in this villa that being in each other's business is the only job they have.

Joohyun still hits the button and Taehyung hopes she says the right answer.

"Bora and Nabi?" She asked,a bit unsure. Luna shook her head. She cursed under her breath and backed away from the button. "Sorry" She said to Taehyung, who grabbed her by the shoulder and pulled her towards himself. "Don't apologise, it's just a game" giving her his million dollar smile.

Jeongguk hit the buzzer and answered.
"Jaewon and Yeri?" He answered,with this competitive look in his eyes. That's a good answer because as much as they spend time with each other they are also very involved in the little groups they have of boys and girls.

Unfortunately for Jeongguk,he was wrong. Nabi hit the button. "Taehyung and Joohyun?" She said with a smile. Maybe she noticed the side eyes Taehyung has been giving her. Once again wrong answers.

It seemed like no one was getting it and they didn't have a lot of time so Luna decided to reveal it.

"Sangwoo…and Taehyung needs to get their nose out of other people's business" Luna finished and he definitely heard a chuckle from Luna.

He scoffed at the answer,laughing it off with Sangwoo who was right next to him, also bursting out laughing. "That's ridiculous but sure if you say so" Sangwoo answered as he and Taehyung high fived. He is glad they could turn this into something funny and not dramatic.

"Strangers more,couple less? oh you mean Blank and Blank…god these are kinda brutal" Luna said,thinking she would not want to be in one of these. 

Bora hit this time. "Taehyung and Joohyun" She is definitely wrong because technically they are not even a couple yet.

"Well that's wrong because Taehyung and Joohyun aren't a couple yet,same goes for Sangwoo and Jiyeon so there are not many options come on guys" Luna answered exactly what Taehyung was thinking.

The purple haired boy hit the button. " Jimin and Nabi" He called out to his own couple. Taehyung chuckled not even caring.

Wrong again. They all fell silent for a moment trying to think when Jaewon hit the button. "Yeri and Jaewon?"

"You are correct,Strangers more,couple less? oh you mean Yeri and Jaewon?" She takes the tape and puts it down,the constant cycle as she gives one point to the couple.

"I can't believe you answered us. Why did you think it would be us?" Yeri questioned Jaewon, reasonably mad at him.

"I answered to copy Jimin. I didn't know it would be right. We know it's bullshit because we are definitely so much more than strangers" Jaewon tried defending but the mood was ruined. This game is causing problems.

"OK…Next one. Honestly if you ask me,Blank is more into Blank than he is into his partner"

This one goes to Jeongguk as he practically smashed the button with the speed of lightning. "Jimin is more into Luna?"

Seeing how hard Luna was trying not to smile at that,it was cute because when he glanced at Jimin he had the same expression. "Nope" She declared.

"Jeongguk is more into Taehyung?" Yeri said,not sounding sure at all as if she was throwing a blind arrow at the board.

Luna was confused for a second. Looking down and looking up,She was shocked. "Yes actually, Jeongguk is more into…Taehyung than he is into his partner. Wow, How did you even guess that?" She asked, giving them another point.

"Just a wild guess I'm shocked at myself" Yeri answered but Taehyung wasn't convinced.

This challenge is kinda biting him back too because now everyone is staring at him and Jeongguk to say something. He sees Joohyun gulp and avoids eye contact; this is the second person to mention this. Does it really look like they are something more?

"Well I have nothing really to say except that's not true. Me and Taehyung are only best friends" Jeongguk answered for him.

"Blank looks like he's here just for the money. He doesn't seem interested in girls, only cares about himself,has an awful personality,seems very narcissistic …Holy shit they are coming for you guys" Luna laughed about it because this is actually just plain rude.

And can be really harming for anyone here because being called a Game player and 'just here for money' in this place is same as being called a murderer in real world.

The others were being cautious to answer who they think this is.  After some seconds, Sangwoo eventually hit it. "...Taehyung?"

"..Yes. It is Taehyung" She took the tape off and didn't repeat the tweet out of respect and Taehyung really appreciated that. Though he was a bit hurt, that's a lot of allegations which made him rethink everything. Is this how everyone sees him?

"Hey man,Just because I said your name I don't think it's you" Sangwoo patted Taehyung's shoulder.

"Nah,it's alright. I don't care what some 10 year old on the Internet has to say about me,I know why I'm here and I'm true to myself and that's the only thing that matters" Taehyung responded with maturity, a fixed smile on his face to show he's alright.

Once the camera moved back to Luna,Joohyn grabbed his arm and caressed it. "Are you sure you are fine? That was simply so rude,I can't believe they allowed that tweet" Joohyun said to him. He just nodded.

He can't believe it either because honestly he isn't some celebrity who is trained to deal with hate. He is a normal person and these types of tweets could be damaging to someone's mental health. He obviously isn't taking it to heart but if it was someone else here who is a bit sensitive this would have been disheartening.

A big mistake from whoever went through these tweets and let them come here. Moving on,He still has a game to win and he won't let any tweet change that.

"Mean girls in love island? Do you mean blank,blank and blank?" Luna rolled off her tongue multiple times. It was weird saying it three times.

Bora,this time hit it."Luna,Jiyeon and Joohyun?...no offense against you girls,it's only because you three came together" She said with this sweet tone of hers.

"None taken,hun but you are wrong" Luna responded with sass but maintaining a smile. Jimin touched the buzzer.

"Nabi,Bora and Yeri. It's simple math,if it's not three new girls it's probably the other three" Jimin answered,devil in disguise smile on his face. Luna giggled at that and nodded.

"You are right. Mean girls in Love island? Do you mean Bora,Yeri and Nabi?" She says as she gives a point to Nabi and Jimin.

"I will only accept it if I'm Regina George" Nabi said in response with a smirk on her face.

"You definitely are," Jimin responded.

"Your guys bickering reminds me of my parents" Taehyung added,making everyone else laugh with Jimin also laughing and giving him a middle finger.

"Why am I there? I don't even say shit" Yeri said.

"Exactly,you must be Karen Smith,just there for vibes" Joohyun answered and Taehyung didn't even feel bad for laughing because everyone else joined.

"OK I like this one….Blank is the prettiest girl in the Villa. That's it,Finally some nice tweet" Luna said,facing the contestants.

Almost 3 of the boys hit the buzzer at the same time. However, according to the staff, Out of Jaewon,Taehyung and Jeongguk. Jaewon was the fastest.

"Yerimie-"

"Don't be a simp" Luna answered.

"OK maybe Nabi then?" Jaewon said and Yeri gasped in shock, looking back at him. "What?"

"You are on thin fucking ice right now, Jang Jaewon" She used his full name,oh she is really mad.

"Joohyun?" Taehyung answered next. "Guys please stop being simps" Luna said as they were all choosing their partner.

"But I really think she's prettiest.." He trailed,getting slapped playfully on his arm by joohyun who was smiling and looking down at the button. He smiled too,he liked seeing her like that.

"Luna" Jeongguk,finally the unbiased one. "Hey,I was going to say that" Jimin said to him.

"You are right, Luna is the prettiest girl in the Villa…aw this is so sweet" She smiled so widely as she grabbed the next board.

"Anyway,next one…It's no wonder Jeongguk finds comfort in Blank, they are both bisexual, other contestants are just homophobic to be ignorant of that by trying to lable them as 'gay' for eachother " Luna read it and was just confused by the end.

Almost immediately many of them hit the button because the answer was too obvious. After declaring, Jimin's button lit up first.

"First of all I don't think we are homophobic that's not something inexcusable unless they are talking about some specific person. the answer is obviously Taehyung." Jimin answered and even Taehyung agreed with him that it was a weird thing to say.

"It was about a specific person but we don't want to disclose who so please continue" Yoongi said to them and they all just decided to move forward as Luna gave them a point.

"Blank acts all innocent when she's the shit stirrer" She displays the board,looking down at the answer before facing the others.

"Jiyeon" Jaewon answered and then hit the button. It wouldn't have counted but no one else hit the button anyway.

"On the first try. Jiyeon acts all innocent when she's the shit stirrer"

"That's insane because how can I be the shit stirrer when I have been here for two days?" Jiyeon answered,not getting why she was there.

Finally she grabbed the final board and showed it to the contestants. "Everyone knows about how every girl is into Blank but how come no one talks about how every guy is into blank?"

Sangwoo pressed the button. "Jeongguk and Nabi" He sounded so confident but he doesn't know if that's the right answer.

"You are half right. Jeongguk yes, Nabi no" Luna helped them out a bit as she took the Tape off Jeongguk's name. He chuckled and hit the button. This was easy.

"Jeongguk and Joohyun,ofcourse" Taehyung answered,pretty satisfied with his answer. He saw her take the tape off and the second he saw the J he knew he got it.

"You got it. Everyone knows about how every girl is into Jeongguk but how come no one talks about how every guy is into joohyun? One point to you both and the game has come to an end" She puts another point on her board where she has been noting it down all this time. 

"OK, so now that I have counted the results. In 4th place we have 2 couples Jiyeon and Sangwoo and Jeongguk and Bora with 1 point" She announced and they just had a sympathetic smile on their face as they cheered.

"In the 3rd place we got Jimin and Nabi with two points and In First place we got….Yeri and Jaewon with 3 points. Joohyun and Taehyung are on second with just one less point. Congratulations You both have won a date!!" She clapped and so did everyone else for Yeri and Jaewon.

Jaewon tried to hug Yeri but she pulled away, smiling and not giving him any reaction. She was mad...as usual these two fight all the time.

"Oh man,we could have gone on a full date this time" Taehyung said to Joohyun who giggled.

"It's alright,we can have our little 2nd place celebration in the Villa. As long as I'm with you it doesn't matter to me" She smiles at him and Taehyung is glad he met her.

As they head back,they were asked to stop by confessionals to record some more behind the scene type footage and call it a day.

♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡
I hope you guys know the confessional room isn't like the church confessional room,it's like those rooms where the reality TV actors sit down and talk about what happened and their thoughts in front of the camera,all that.
Hope yall liked it
Love yall
