He argued with his Hyungs for not taking him with them, but unfortunate to him, they were right. He himself wasn't certain for how would he behave there. In all this mess he reached the dorm. 

"Shit!" He realized suddenly that he was into something a few minutes back. 

All looked at him with a questioning gaze. He tried to give them a forced smile, but internally was worried about the girl, Scarlett. Again he found his brain working faster, How to escape from their gazes? Who was the girl? And what not. 

He was very curious to know about her. But why? He thought, and the answer came was that, She was different! Something about her was different. Her eyes, her tears, somewhere were making him eager to know about her. 

"What happened to you?" He heard Seok jin saying after shaking him a few times. 

"A.. n.. nothing Hyung! I.. I will just come!!" And he ran out, closing to the speed of light. Other trio made face, confused with his behavior, but then shrugged in disappointment. 

"I hope he will not create any issue!" Said Namjoon in a worried tone.

Taehyung swiftly came down, took the turn and was shocked to see Scarlett with Yang Dae-shim. He instantly tried to turn back and leave, but he stopped when he heard.

"Taehyung!" He recognized the voice to be of Dae-shim. He stuck a forced smile on his lips, tho the mask was enough to hide it, and turned back to face them. 

"Mr. Yang!" He tried to sound respectful, and yes he was. 

Dae-shim took a few steps towards him and so did Scarlett. Taehyung glanced at her. She had red eyes but now her lips were with a genuine smile. He was not understanding what was she doing with Dae-shim?

"I know Taehyung you might be angry on me and I apologize for breaking the bond." Dae-shim initiated while bowing down a little to ask for apology. Scarlett just stared him with a confusing expression, not knowing anything that was going. 

"No.. I am not. I mean.. I was just.." He stammered feeling a constant gaze from Scarlett.

"I understand, I am at fault! I tried my best but our company is in loss. Our other boy bands are not much popular nor productive." And he stopped to collect courage and speak forward, sidelining his overpowering guilt. 

"A few days ago, I was going through some vocal and dancing auditions. And it's where I found them. I know raising three more idols would increase the burden but looking at their skills, I am sure y'all will kill the stage." And he stopped with a smile hoping for a good response.

Taehyung stared him trying to grasp what he actually said. Adding three more to their quartet would simply increase problems. They would have to take care of their identity. Any small mistake would turn a fatal blunder. 

After this silence from him, Dae-shim looked at him and said 

"I.. am sorry! I know your debut is very close to date and adjusting with new people would be little troubling, but please try to understand my concern! All the members of the company are having positive thoughts for this and we are sure you'll would get popularity really soon!" 

Hearing this, the one most shocked was Scarlett. She was continuously looking at Tae with a shocked and guilty gaze. She was highly disappointed by herself on the way she talked to an k-pop artist, who would soon be a Kpop Idol! 

Taehyung finally pulled his neck up as he felt the latter was waiting for a reply. He smiled forcefully tho he was burning with anger. God knows why wasn't he able to abuse him. 'maybe coz of her!' He explained himself. 

"I understand Mr. Yang! A.. and I am sorry, I was not present in the meeting!" He bowed down, seriously. 

"Ah! It's okay! I am sorry again!" He said and suddenly his phone rang and he excused the other two. 

They both glanced at each other as and uncomfortable silence prevailed. They gave a nervous smile to each other and downed their head. She was somewhere feeling restless and tried to open her mouth twice but then closed again. 

He looked at her and got that she wanted to say something but wasn't able to. He thought for a second and cleared his throat to say something but 

"Ahem.. ahem.."  But got interrupted

"I am sorry for my behavior Mr. Kim. I-"  His face changed color hearing this so he literally pounced.

"Hey.. don't call me that! Taehyung would sound well!"  He said instantly hearing from her. She stared him and before she could resist, he requested "Please!" 

"Ahm.. Taehyung I am really sorr-"  She again got interrupted by him.

"Er.. It's okay! You don't need to be!"  He hurriedly spoke and she looked at him with a small smile.
