RaeJae's POV:

Finally something I composed entirely by myself gets to become an official song.

For the longest time I've wanted to write lyrics to my piano composition titled 'Butterfly' but in all honesty I couldn't write lyrics to it. Everything I've come up with is way too dark and personal for me to feel comfortable with releasing.

But one of our producers suggested I get Yoongi's help with writing the lyrics.

So, here I am, standing outside the door to where Yoongi has been constantly for the past few days.

I haven't been able to talk to him much because he's just simply hasn't been around. All he's been up to is sitting in this small studio doing who knows what.

I mean he's probably writing songs but two days is a bit long to barely come out.

"Yah, Rae-ah what are you doing?"

"I'm gonna tell Yoongi Hyung about my song," I say to Jimin who has just appeared.

"Ohh, the one they just approved?" He raises his eyebrows.

"That's the one," I nod.

"Choreography to that will be so good, just saying. But I need to find Tae, have you seen him" he asks.

"Him and Jungkook are playing Mario cart in the conference room," I reply.

"So much for practicing music," Jimin chuckles, "well see you at 4 to continue our dance,"

He starts to leave but I quickly stop him.

"Can you please come with me to talk to Hyung?" I look at door separating us from Yoongi.

"Why are you scared?" Jimin chuckles to which I don't answer.

He sighs, "He's not ignoring you, he hasn't been responding to any of us. It's Yoongi Hyung, he's just in that creative focus mode, you know?"

"You're probably right,"

"But I'll come with you," He shrugs, walking past me and opening the door.

"Hyungggggggggg~~" Jimin coos while skipping to Yoongi's side, "you alive?"

Yoongi let's out a chuckle, "of course I'm alive,"

I slowly follow Jimin inside, sitting down in one of the chairs lining the room. Instant noodles can be found scattered in various different places, as well as a blanket on draped across the floor. He's seriously been staying over night in here?

"Aish, I need to get out of here," Yoongi stands up almost instantly after I sit down.

"Hy-" I start to say but he's already on his way towards the door.

"RaeJae has something to tell you," Jimin says but Yoongi continues to leave.

"She can tell me when I get back," He calls back.

My eyebrows furrow together as I pull my knees to my chest. Even though Jimin says otherwise, it still feels like Yoongi is ignoring me.

"Yah, he'll be right back don't get all sad about it," Jimin looks at me sympathetically.

"I'm not upset about it!" I lie, "I'll wait for him here. You can go if you want,"

"You sure?" Jimin asks.

"Yeah," I lie again, watching him give me a warm smile before leaving as well.

Yoongi's POV:

"So, why are you distancing yourself from her?" Jimin catches up to me.

"From who?"

He let's out an airy laugh, "oh I don't know, the only girl in your life that I could be talking about,"

"I'm not distancing myself from her," I scoff.

"Oh really?"

I nod my head.

"Could it be because you don't want the whole Jungkook and RaeJae thing to happen?"

I ignore him.

"Ahh~ So it is? You know, if you don't want it to happen I don't think your method will work,"

I still don't answer.

"Maybe RaeJae and Jungkook will actually fall in love with each other. Then it wouldn't be a lie,"

"That won't happen," I say without thought.

"Why not?"

"Um, I guess it could,"

Jimin grabs my arm to stop me, "Are you going crazy? You never go back on your word,"

"Things change," I shrug.

"Unlike your feelings for RaeJae," A small smirk makes its way to his lips.

I slide his hand off my arm, "Maybe I should be asking you if you've gone crazy,"

"Hyung, I can see how you've Maybe fooled the others, but I see right through you," He sighs.

"Jimin, you're watching way too many kdrama's recently," I laugh lightly.

"Lately it feels like I'm living in one," He replies, "the love triangle of three people in a kpop group,"

I stop in the middle of the hallway.

"Jimin, stop spewing nonsense," I glare at him.

"I'm just trying to give you advice. I see what you're trying to do, push her away and then you might not get your feelings hurt. But what about hers?" His way of rationalizing my actions anger me.

"What are you even saying?"

"Basically that you should act as if everything is normal. Ruining a friendship over love isn't worth it," He says as if he knows this principle for himself.

"Who said I was ruining a friendship? Who even said that I have feelings for RaeJae?" I chuckle bitterly.

"No one," Jimin smiles, "I'm just watching too many kdramas like you said,"

I stare at him in confusion. Is he trying to provoke me or what?

"Anyway, I just think that if this were a real life situation, both of the boys involved should think a little. I think it's better to value friendship over love," He starts to explain.

"Something tells me that you have some experience with this," I eye him carefully, "do you?"

He slowly looks to me with a sort of sadness in his eyes, "sometimes it's better to stay silent,"

"Do you have something you want to say or...?" I trail off, completely confused by him.

"In some situations the best way to stay close to someone you love Is by being a friend. Nothing more, nothing less," He pauses, "this advice is for you by the way,"

"Right..."

"Oh! Kookie I've been looking for you!"

And with that he leaves me to think about every single thing that just left his mouth. Jimin is almost always a ball of joy. He doesn't often talk deeply about things unless someone needs to be comforted.

Although he can be full of surprises I guess.

*3 hours later*

I open the door to my office is let out a sigh. For the past 2 nights I've been sleeping in here to avoid being with pretty much everyone. I'm just having one of those moments where you need to be alone.

I have a lot to think about these days.

"AI-sh!" I jump when I see a body on the floor. How did I not see that when I walked in?

After a few seconds of staring at the sleeping person I recognize it as RaeJae. Did she wait all this time just for me?

Slowly, I crouch down next to her, placing and blanket over her small body. Everything Jimin said is technically true, but I almost don't want it to be. Is it so bad to think that if I can't have more than a friendly relationship with RaeJae, I don't want anything at all?

I guess that's a foolish thing to think. Obviously I still want her in my life no matter what the circumstances are. She means too much for me to lose.

But if I want to get over her in the way that I need to, I just need to distance myself for a little longer. My heart needs space to breath.

While I'm too involved in my thoughts RaeJae wakes up, pushing herself from the ground to sit eye to eye with me. A sleepy smile forms on her face and before I know it she's hugging me.

"I feel like you've been gone forever!" She mumbles into my shoulder.

"It's only been 2 days," I reply, coldness lacing its way through my words. It's almost like a defense mechanism at this point, to push her away.

"I know..." she trails off, "but I have good news!"

Her voice is as cheerful as ever.

I get up off the ground and sit in one of the chairs, silently awaiting her news without looking like I am.

"My song is going to be in our next album!" She cheers.

"What song?" I sigh, even thought I know the exact one.

"Butterfly, the one you named. But I need help writing the lyrics," She looks at me expectingly.

"Ask Namjoon,"

"But he's busy with his collaboration,"

"Then Jungkook,"

Silence fills the room for a few moments, "Why not you?" She finally asks.

"Because I don't want to,"

"Oh," the hurt in her voice makes me want to throw up. I hate myself.

"But you said-" I cut her off.

"Please leave me alone," I look at her emotionlessly.

"What's wrong with you?" Her voice becomes slightly raised.

"Nothing, I'm just doing work,"

"Yeah whatever. Since when did work become more important that your friends? Since when did this company get so messed up?" Her questions are everything I agree with.

"I said leave me alone!" The words spill out of my mouth leaving bitterness behind.

"Did I do something?" Her face changes to something even sadder than before, "to make you mad?"

I can't reply or else I'll want to fix everything I just ruined. But can it even be fixed? I may have gone too far at this point.

"Hello? What did I do?" She repeats.

I respond by putting my headphones over my ears.

RaeJae's POV:

"So now I'm invisible to you?" I croak.

It's like he's made the conscious decision to inform me that I'm not important enough for his time. I mean, that's the message that ignoring someone sends.

"This sucks," I breath out, slamming the door behind me.

"What a jerk,"

My eyes meet Jimin who looks stiff with anger.

"I think I've done something wrong," I frown, walking to him for a hug.

"You didn't do anything wrong, fate did,"

"What do you mean?"

He doesn't answer.
