Jungkook's POV-

"Why does Tae get so much attention from everyone?" I huff as I turn to where Jimin is sat next to me at the table. "Like, literally everyone."

"He's a very likable person Kookie. It's not his fault. Besides, it's nothing new. Why are you so annoyed?" Jimin asks while he cuts his French toast into pieces.

I roll my eyes at him before they land on his meal that is covered in powdered sugar.

"How can you even eat that right now?"

"They do their breakfast for dinner special once a week and we happened to come today. The real question is why didn't you get this?" He says before stabbing a piece of toast and stuffing it in his mouth.

I take my chopsticks and steal a strawberry from his plate, putting it in my mouth as I move me eyes back to where Tae is sat at a table talking to Baekhyun and Suho.

This all started before we even made it into the restaurant. Some girl I didn't recognize that he knew was leaving as we were coming in, so he stopped and talked to her while we got seated.

Then he came to the table and we all got our orders placed just before Mr Lee came over to talk to us. I was able to thank him for all of he and his wife's help and told him how much we enjoyed the observatory, to which he replied with a kind smile how it was no trouble at all.

That they were so happy to get the chance to help such a lovely couple as Yoongi and I.

We talked for a few minutes about constellations and stars then he said that we could use the observatory any time, all we had to do was ask.

After he and I were done talking he asked if he could speak to Tae privately.

They walked off somewhere for a few minutes before they must have finished, but then on his way back to the table, he got waved over by Baekhyun and has been there for fifteen minutes now.

"This is ridiculous. How does he even have time to meet all of these people?" I say as I cross my arms over my chest with a scowl.

"Am I not enough for you Kookie?" Jimin says in mock offense with his hand over his heart. "Do you not like me anymore?"

"That's not it. And since when do you call me Kookie instead of Jungkookie?" I ask with a raised brow.

He pauses mid chew and then his eyes widen in realization as he hurries to finish the bite of toast in his mouth before he says, "I didn't even realize I was doing that!"

He furrows his brows and looks down at his plate before he gasps. "It's Yoongi's fault! He shortens everyone's name and I'm doing it now too! I think I even call Chanyeol 'Chan' now... What the hell?! I wonder how long I've been doing that for."

"I didn't know that you spent so much time with Yoongi Jimin-ssi. Maybe Tae isn't the only one I should be worried about around him." I smile at first but it falters when I realize how true my statement might be.

"Oh no, he just likes to bother me and I find it quite fun to bother him. It's not like I hang out with him. He is Hobi's best friend and if I go into the company with Hobi, Yoongi usually shows up at some point if he is there that day.

"Since you've been back we see him less, which is a good thing because he used to hardly ever not be at the company. He would work as much as he could, we assumed it to be so he could distract himself..."

As his sentence trails off he pauses before he sets his fork down then looks back at me with a more serious face.

"Hobi and I talk about it sometimes. About how hard it was to see him so down and the drastic contrast between how was then compared to now.

"He was so depressed and isolated from everything and everyone. Irene didn't want him to talk to his friends so she told him all of these lies and awful things to make him not trust any of us.

"He would only talk to Hobi at work and it took a few weeks for him to talk to both of us, then even longer to get him to talk about anything other than work. Even after that point though, he would only stay and hang out with us if we didn't talk about you.

"He was surrounded by a thick black cloud while you were unconscious and as soon as he let you back into his life you chased that cloud away. He has been so much happier since. I know you think that you need him but he needs you too. He was so lost without you."

I am smiling widely at his kind words. Yoongi makes me so happy too.

I could talk about how much I love and adore him for hours if someone would let me, but before I could offer any response at all my phone begins to buzz in my pocket.

My smile grows even brighter when I see that it is Yoongi calling.

"Thank you so much for all of the snacks!" I exclaim much too loudly for being in a public place.

I look around apologetically at the few tables that are glaring in my direction as I lower my voice a little and continue with excitement.

"ItwassothoughtfulandIloveditandIcried." I rush out in one breath.

He chuckles. "Why are you talking so fast? I couldn't even understand you. Say it again but a little slower please."

I take a deep breath, "Sorry, what I said was that what you did was so thoughtful and I loved it very much. It made me cry."

"You cried at having snacks?" He laughs. "I was hoping they would cheer you up but instead they made you cry?"

"They were definitely happy tears. Thank you so much Yooni."

Jimin chuckles next to me and leans into the phone. "You're welcome for getting the snacks Min Yooni."

Suddenly Yoongi's tone changes to a more serious one.

"Kook, can I speak to Jimin?"

I laugh as I do what he says and hand the phone to Jimin. Yoongi didn't sound very happy and I am expecting he is about to scold Jimin for using my nickname for him.

Jimin takes it with a slightly confused smile.

"Min Yooni, why did your boyfriend just hand me his phone?" He giggles.

There he goes again with the boyfriend stuff. I still don't even know if we are or not. I want to ask him but I don't really know how.

I also have been worried that maybe we did talk about it before and maybe it was an awkward talk where we just decided to take things slowly and not be official... but then again we have long passed taking things slowly.

I basically lived with him before we ever started openly liking each other.

Our whole relationship has been rather rushed-

The sound of the chair scraping the ground breaks me out of my thoughts. As I turn towards the side of the table it came from I see Jimin standing up, my phone still to his ear.

"Where are you going? And give me my phone back." I say with my hand held out for my phone.

"He needs to talk to Tae. Apparently he has been trying to get ahold of him and hasn't been able to."

Of course he needs Tae. Everyone and their fucking dog needs Tae today.

"Fine. But tell Tae not to hang up when they are done talking and bring me the phone back." I huff.

Taehyung's POV-

"Tae?"

I hear someone call from over my shoulder. I turn around to see Chim walking to where I'm sat.

"Hey," he says to me before moving his eyes to Baek and Suho.

"Hi, I'm sorry to interrupt you all, I just need to steal Tae." He smiles at them apologetically before turning back to me. "I have someone on the phone for you."

On the phone?

I smile at Chim and move to stand up as I say my goodbye's to the two before I leave with Chim.

"Why didn't they call me?" I ask as I reach into my pocket and slide my phone out.

My eyes widen when I see all of the notifications I have. Fifteen missed calls and one hundred and twenty-eight unopened text messages.

The calls are mostly from Yoongi, but the texts aren't.

"I need to get out of some of these group chats." I groan to myself as I look at the number of messages.

"Tae, he's still on the phone."

"Oh, it's Yoongi right?" I ask as I take the phone he is holding out to me as he nods.

"Hey. Sorry, I didn't realize my phone was on silent."

"There was a girl here just now and a number I don't recognize keeps calling me."

Chim is about to turn back to the table where he left Koo when I catch him by his sleeve before he can leave.

"A girl?" I ask.

"Yeah. A young girl."

"Where are you now?" I ask with furrowed brows.

"I'm still at the company but I was just heading out."

"And the calls just came in?"

"Yeah. They have been coming in for the last ten minutes."

"I'm on my way to you. Just sit tight."

"Don't hang up the phone!" Chim says quickly as I lower the phone, thumb hovering over the screen as I was about to hang up.

"I'm sorry but I have to go. I'll talk to you later and tell Jungkookie I said bye and that I'm sorry I had to leave so suddenly." I say as he takes the phone back.

I make a b-line for the door while I dial Yeri's number. Yoongi called me about a dozen times and she makes up the other missed calls I had. The phone rings a few times but she doesn't answer. I try her two more times but still no answer.

Yoongi said a girl showed up at the company... Was it her? And if it was, why would she go there and talk to Yoongi. Did Irene send her?
