— 3rd

Tae opens his eyes and looks around his room.
A frown makes its way onto his face.
He usually wakes up by one of his hyungs around but none of them were to be found.

Slowly but surely he gets off his bed.
Being the obedient person he is, he makes his bed to goes to take a shower.

Tae giggles at his sweatshirt.
He walks out of his room and towards the dining room.
There he sees a plate of pancakes on the table most probably his.

Still no sign of his members.

Tae sits at the table and quickly eats his breakfast.
He goes to the kitchen and washes his plate.

He quickly goes to the studio.
Once he opens the door, he sees all his members.

"Morning hyung!" Tae greets.

Tae patiently waits for a reply but he got nothing.
Tae frowns but quickly gets over it.

He walks over to Jin and Jungkook.
They were harmonising for a new song for their comeback.

"Hey hyung! What ca doing?"

"Oh hey Tae. Just singing." Jungkook replies, not taking his eyes off the lyric paper.

Tae frowns. "What any help?"

"Nah, you can go." Jin says and continues singing with Jungkook.

Tae's frown deepens.
He walks over to Jimin and Hoseok.
They were practicing the choreography for the dance of the song.
They learnt it earlier so that it would be easier to teach the rest of the members.

"Hello hyungs!"

Hoseok just hums but continues dancing.
Jimin doesn't say anything.

Tae frowns even more and walks away to Yoongi and Namjoon.
They were putting the beats in order and composing a little more of the song.

"Hi hyungs."

"Hello Tae." Yoongi says.

Tae slightly smiles.

"What are you guys doing?"

"We're modifying the song a little." Namjoon replies.

"I've got it!" Yoongi shouts. "We'll change this to this!"
Yoongi writes down his idea and Namjoon smiles.

"That's amazing hyung! No wonder you're a genius hyung!" Namjoon says.

Yoongi hums.

Once again, they ignore Tae like as if he wasn't even there.
Tae sadly makes his way back to the dorm where he an practice.

Alone.

_______________________

Upon reaching the dorm, Tae takes out his lyric paper and starts practicing.
He records himself and listens.
He corrects mistakes.
Finally, he's happy with his final product.
He smiles, probably the most beautiful one today.

He makes his way over to the kitchen and gets out a sandwich for lunch.
Munching on the sandwich, his phones chimes.

Minho hyung
Hey TaeTae!

Taehyung
Hey hyung! ^-^

Minho hyung
Did you have lunch yet?

Taehyung
Not really
I was just planning on eating a sandwich
Why?

Minho hyung
That's not enough Tae!
Wanna have lunch with me now?
I'll come pick you up.
We'll have lunch at the new Japanese restaurant
just near your dorm.

Taehyung
Sure hyung!
What time will you be here?

As soon as the last text was sent, a car hone was heard.
Tae giggles to himself and walks out the front door.
Not forgetting to lock the door.
Happily he goes out for lunch with his hyung.

__________________

Tae comes back a few hours later.
After having lunch, the duo had gone to a carnival nearby.
Playing games, eating cotton candy and riding fun rides.
Tae was enjoying his time there.
When he released the time, they had left.

Tae walks through the front door only to find his members with anger and worry pasted all over their faces.

"Where have you been young man? We have been worried about you!" Jin shouts at Tae.

Tae flinches.

"Oh look, someone decided to fucking notice me." Tae sarcastically replies.

"What did you just say?" Jin asks.

"I said, finally someone didn't fucking ignore me." Tae repeats loud and clear for everyone to hear.

"What do you mean Taehyung? We have been working on our comeback while you were out with your friend and now you say that we have been ignoring you?" Namjoon asks.

"Oh wow, after all you've done to me today, you can say that?" Tae answers with surprise.

"You're talking too much nonsense Taehyung. This is unacceptable. Going out with your friend when we had to work." Namjoon says.

Tae slips into little space.
He's not used to being yelled at, especially not from his members.
Tears leak out of his eyes and drips down his face.

"I did come to the studio. I even said hi but nobody bothered. I asked if I could help to Jungkook hyung, but he told me to go away. I said hi to Hoseok hyung and he just hummed and did nothing. I was talking to Yoongi hyung and he had a thought and suddenly I wasn't there. And now you're telling me that I didn't do anything. I had to practice by myself here. I hope you're happy now." Tae cries and stomps to his room with hot tears rolling down his face.

Tae walks to his room and slams the door shut.
The sound echoing throughout the dorm and startles the boys.
Tae had never used a bad word before. At least not in front of them.

The boys finally though about what Tae had said and the guilt finally sinks in.

"We messed up didn't we?" Hoseok asks softly as he looks at the boys.

Everyone nods.
They slowly make their way to Tae's room that was closed.
They could hear muffled sobs and whimpers from behind the door.
Their hearts breaking at each sob.

Jimin knock on the door. "Tae, can you please open the door?"

"Go away!" Tae shouts.

"Please Tae, we're so sorry." Jungkook pleads.

More sobs and whimpers. They hear soft footsteps waking towards the door.
Then the door opens revealing a tears Tae.
Tears all over his face and his Gucci sweatshirt.

Jin quickly engulfs Tae in a big mom hug.
Tae clings on and cries.

"I'm so sorry for shouting at you sweetie. I really didn't know. I'm sorry for ignoring you sweetie. I'm really sorry." Jin kisses Tae's forehead.

"I-its okay h-hyung." Tae looks down and plops on his bed.

The boys walk over to him and sit on his bed as well.

"We're so sorry Tae. We really didn't know." Yoongi says and hugs Tae.
The boys join in and hug the duo as well.

Tae starts sniffling and smiling a little.

"It's okay dada. It's okay hyungs. I'm sorry too." Tae whispers.
Curling up into a ball on Yoongi's lap while latching his arms around his neck.

Yoongi kisses Tae's nose.
Soft giggles erupted causing warmth to invade the boys hearts.
Tae falls asleep with his family beside him.

Smiling like a maniac. :)
