The two youngest get downstairs after an hour spent cuddling. The moment their hyungs notice them, they are sure they must be in a good mood. That's until Jeongguk sees the person standing next to Namjoon.

His eyes darken and his body reacts on it's own as he stands up in front of Taehyung, as if trying to hide him behind himself.

"What is he doing here?" he snickers between his teeth.

"He came to say goodbye to Taehyung because he's leaving for filming tomorrow," Namjoon explains, standing in front of Bogum to protect him from Jeongguk's killing glare.

"So what? He'll come back," growling at his hyung, his reaction makes Bogum take a step closer to Jeongguk and step in.

"I am leaving for a few months, Jeongguk-ah," he explains in a calm voice.

"I didn't ask you a thing," Jeongguk says a bit too harshly, making all men in the room gulp.

"Okay, guys, let's leave them alone. They have a lot to talk about," Namjoon says as he collects the other 5 members and pushes them upstairs.

Taehyung watches his hyungs walk up the stairs with big puppy eyes, seeing Jimin giving him a thumb up and Hoseok smilling at him.

Yoongi is the last one to leave. He leans to Taehyung and whispers the words 'tell him' and pats his shoulder before following the others, earning a confused expression from Jeongguk.

Taehyung sighs and turns back to the front to see the two having an intense staring contest.

"What are you waiting for? Get it done with," Jeongguk cuts it short, allowing Bogum to take his time but still doesn't move an inch away from Taehyung.

"Why do you hate me so much Gguk? I thought we were fine?" the oldest asks carefully, clearly confused by Jeongguk's sudden hatred towards him.

"Are you for real?! Were you really expecting me to be friends with you after you made out with my boyfriend when I was on a tour?" Jeongguk's words cut like a knife, mainly Bogum who's completely unaware of what the youngest is talking about.

Taehyung just stares in silence, his world falling apart.

"What are you talking about? Me and Tae never were a thing," he tries to calm down the situation but it doesn't help a bit.

"Gguk, don't-" Taehyung tries to stop him till he still can and as he sees him taking a step forward, he grabs him by the hem of his shirt but Jeongguk only pulls his hand away.

"Do you think I am fucking stupid? I saw the photos! Are you testing my patience or what?!" he screams, making the one in front of him take a step back. There was no doubt Jeongguk was much stronger than him.

"Taehyung would you please explain? Because I have no idea what the hell is going on here."

"Gguk, seriously stop, he doesn't know about-" Taehyung tries to speak but Jeongguk cuts him off again.

"No, Taehyung. Explain."

They both stare at him, one completely confused and the other deadly furious.

There's silence. Taehyung isn't even breathing.

This is the end. Taehyung knows there's no way he can solve this anymore or keep the lies any longer.

He needs to tell the-

"Taehyung, for fuck's sake it's been almost two years! Why can't you just admit that you cheated on me with him!"

"Cheated on you with me?!" Bogum now starts screaming as well, way too confused to stay calm.

Jeongguk hits the wall on his left.

"I wanted to propose to him and you fucking hit on him when I was away!"

"I didn't cheat!"

Silence.

The time slows down.

Both of them turn to look at Taehyung's tiny frame.

It's quiet as if the whole world fell. As if there was no sound left.

Jeongguk's shoulders immediately hang low as he defeatedly looks into Taehyung's teary eyes.

He's hiding something.

At that time, their hearts break for the second time.

"I lied. I never cheated on you, Gguk."

And so it was done.

It was done but it felt like it didn't even matter anymore.

Because it was too late.

He should have known it would be too late.
