Yoongi's POV-

"Thank you for staying with him today. I hope Hobi didn't miss you too much." I say as I walk Jimin to the door.

"Oh no, I'm sure he barely noticed I was gone. He has been working on his album with Donghyuk non-stop and as much as I love being at the studio with him, he is a perfectionist and listening to him record the same two lines fifteen different ways really ruins the fun for me." He laughs. "So I'm sure he has been fine. I'll make sure to tell him you were concerned about his emotional state."

I scoff. "Concerned is far from the truth. I was simply being polite."

He rolls his eyes. "Whatever you say Min Yooni."

I narrow my eyes at him. I hate when he says that but I try not to react because I know he does it to get me fired up and a big reaction is what he wants.

I keep my expression neutral and as I am about to scold him calmly for calling me that name that only Kook can, he quickly opens the door and steps into the hall.

"You two have a lot to talk about so I better go, bye!" He yells over his shoulder as he hurries to the elevator.

I shut the door and get it locked before turning back towards the living room.

With my brows furrowed I make my way back to where Kook is sat on the couch, gazing out the window.

"Jimin said we have things to talk about. Did something happen today?"

Still looking out the window he asks, "Do you like Tae?"

"Yeah? I mean I have to like him a little to have hired him as my assistant. Does he think I don't like him?" I ask as I am reminded about how I treated him the other night when we talked about Irene. I still regret how I reacted.

"No I mean... Do you like him. As in have a crush on him... Or if you want to sleep with him."

My eyes widen in shock before I burst into laughter. "Where did that come from? What kind of question is that."

He turns his head and scowls at me. "It's not a dumb question. Do you or don't you?"

"No, I do not want to sleep with Taehyung. I mean, he is your best friend as well as my assistant. I would never sleep with him."

"So if he wasn't my friend or your assistant, you would?"

I take the few steps left until I am close enough to sit on the couch beside him. "If he wasn't your friend I would have no idea who he was, so my answer is still no."

"What if he was a stranger to me and just a fan and you met him. Would you then?"

"Why are you asking all of these hypothetical questions? What happened today?"

He turns to glare at me. "Why can't you just answer me?"

"I honestly don't know what you want me to say. It sounds like no matter what you're just going to keep asking about unreasonable, unrealistic scenarios. I have already said I didn't want to sleep with him."

He continues glaring at me.

"And I don't have a crush on him... In fact, it's kind of ironic you are asking me about the subject because these are some of the same questions I have had in my mind."

He turns his body so he is facing my direction a bit more. "You think I have a crush on him?"

"Yes."

"But I don't. I love you."

"I know you do and I love you, but that doesn't mean you don't love him too."

He looks down at the couch between us as he says in quieter voice. "It's not the same."

"So you do love him."

He takes a deep breath, still looking down. "Of course I do but not the same way I love you!"

"But you do have feelings for him and he has them for you."

"He doesn't have feelings for me."

I roll my eyes at his words. Yes he does and he knows he does. Taehyung said today that Kook was the only person he has and will ever love.

Kook speaks up again, still not looking at me. "If he loved me he would have let me keep living the lie. He wouldn't have helped me remember you."

I am taken back by his tone when he says this. He almost sounds disappointed. Is he disappointed that Taehyung didn't stay with him? That he is with me instead of Taehyung?

"I'm sorry if I'm holding you back from being with him." I say before I stand up from the couch. "I can't talk about this right now. I'm going to go take a shower."

I start to walk towards our room but my steps slow when I hear his sad voice call out to me.

"Yooni, please. I didn't mean to make you mad..."

I take a deep breath to try to calm my building anger. I'm so fucking sick of having to deal with this love triangle bullshit.

I don't have the energy for this. I don't want to talk about this right now. I can't. I turn my head slightly to look over my shoulder but I don't turn around.

"I'm glad that your head seems to be feeling better. If you're head does start to hurt and you need me come and get me, otherwise just give me a few minutes. Okay?"

I hear him say a small "Okay" back as I turn to keep walking to our room. Once inside I shut the door behind me and lean my back against it.

I want to yell and cuss and throw everything I can get my hands on because I am so frustrated. I love him and I know he loves me but I know he loves Taehyung too and honestly I just don't think I can compete with him. But I shouldn't fucking have to.

This has been going on for months. I hate to admit it but I think the three of us need to sit down and talk this out because this is beginning to possibly jeopardize my relationship with Kook and I can't let that happen. I can't lose him again.

After a few more moments I push off of the door and head into the bathroom to get into the shower.

Hopefully the hot water can help me clear my mind and organize my thoughts a little.

Taehyung's POV-

I was on my way back to the apartment anyway and I figured by now Yoongi would be back so I would just tell him what Seulgi and I have found in person.

It's extremely good news and I just can't wait to share it. He's probably not doing anything anyway, plus I can check on Koo and apologize for leaving so abruptly today while I'm there.

I step out of the elevator and make way to their door before giving it a few knocks.

I hear the locks turn slowly before the door is cracked a little and I see Koo peaking through the space at me.

He doesn't look very happy to see me. Did I make him that mad?

"I'm sorry that I left so suddenly today. I know you're probably upset but I had a good reason. I'm sorry."

He opens the door fully and I can see him a lot more clearly. He looks very upset.

"I don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing that you are here right now." He says in a monotone voice.

"Huh? What do you mean?"

"Are you here for me or Yoongi?"

I look at him confused. What kind of question is that?

"Both of you, I guess? I wanted to apologize to you for leaving dinner and I needed to talk him about what I helped him with earlier."

His face softens a little at my words as he steps aside for me to come in.

I walk past him slowly while I keep my eyes on him. Why is he acting so strange.

Suddenly I hear a door shut and steps coming up the hall before Yoongi appears just outside the hallway. As soon as we lock eyes he draws his brows together as he scowls.

It's silent as we just stare at each other, the seemingly unnecessary tension in the air making me a bit uncomfortable.

I turn to look at Koo who is looking at Yoongi.

"Is this a bad time?" I ask as I turn back to Yoongi. "Because I can-"

"What are you doing here?" Yoongi asks harshly.

"I was coming to talk to you about earlier and to apologize to Koo for leaving dinner so abruptly." I look back at Koo. "I think I should go. I should have called first. I can talk to you tomorrow. I'm sorry." I say as I slip my shoe that was half off back onto my foot.

"No. It's good you're here." Yoongi says.

"It is?" Koo and I ask at the same time.

"Yes. We have some things to straighten out."

"And I need to be here?" I ask slowly as I point at myself.

Honestly, in this moment, this is the very last place I want to be. I feel like I just interrupted a fight or something and I am getting more uncomfortable by the second. Why on earth do they need me here right now. What can I help do? Mediate?

"Yes. Please." Koo says from where he is still stood slightly behind me.

I turn to him and notice just how red his eyes are. Puffy too. He's been crying. I think I did just interrupt a fight. His eyes are pleading with me as he looks back into mine.

"Okay..." I slip my shoes off before I follow Yoongi into the living room with Koo close behind.

Yoongi sits on the couch while Koo sits on the armchair across from him, leaving the couch next to Yoongi open or the armchair next to Koo.

They are both staring intensely up at me and I gulp at the sight.

What the hell did I just walk into?
