~~~~~Missed me? I've been MIA with this book for almost 2-3 weeks, but I'm back with a toe-curlingly crazy chapter. ~~~~~

—— We left off with Taehyung and Yoongi barging into a room where they were going to hook up, but surprisingly the chapter ended with a massive twist that leads to them finding both of their girlfriends hooking up instead. Tzuyu and Chungha are going to have a lot of explaining to do, but don't Yoongi and Tae have to explain why they were together too?

I smell 3310 words of pure drama ——

~

Taehyung POV

"Tzuyu."

I couldn't help but gasp at seeing her here; making out with Yoongi's girlfriend no less. She was shaking uncontrollably and I stiffened when I glimpsed Chungha steadying her gently, her arms still around her. They looked at us guiltily, hands still on each other in the most intimate fashion.

I looked sideways to find Yoongi hyung staring at the scene in front of us with the most unbelieving expression. His hand was still gripping mine tightly, and I noticed that his lower lip was swollen and bleeding a little. I was in no better a state either, and I was at a loss for words.

What was I supposed to say to them? I couldn't accuse them of cheating when we had done the same. I was going to take a step forward just for some action when I felt Yoongi hyung pull me back harshly.

"What the hell is happening here?!" he yelled, eyes burning with some unknown vigor. "Well, I certainly didn't expect to walk in to see my girlfriend draped around some other girl."

The so-called 'some other girl'; my girlfriend shivered at his tone and I saw Chungha reassure her by squeezing her palm, whispering something softly into her ear. Tzuyu was feeling extremely guilty, and I don't blame her. I felt like dying too; this wasn't supposed to happen.

"She's not some other girl!"

Chungha had fire in her eyes at hyung's words. She hugged Tzuyu closer to her, and I could feel more emotion than just plain guilt in the room.

"She is the most beautiful, perfect woman I've ever met in my life," she spoke, not faltering in the least as she faced the man at my side. "Don't you dare disrespect her, Yoongi."

"Whatever, babe." he shrugged, "But that doesn't explain how you and Taetae's girlfriend ended up here. Making out. Like that."

Before Chungha could even open her mouth, Tzuyu had run to me with tears in her eyes. She grasped my free hand, looking at me with the most broken expression, "Tae, I'm sorry. I am so sorry that I did this to you."

She was full-on crying, tears streaking her cheeks as she begged for forgiveness.

"I don't deserve to be your girlfriend, I know." she wept, "I cheated on you, but it was because I feel something with her."

"Remember the person I talked to you about on the day we met? Five years ago, when we talked about our one-sided love stories; it was always her. I know that doesn't justify anything and that what I did was unacceptable, but I don't regret it, Tae."

"I know you've always had Yoongi in your mind when you've been with me." she whispered, "It's always been Yoongi for you, and I was always just the replacement; the spare piece that you saw lying around and used for the heck of it."

"But even though I knew we weren't meant to be, I stuck with you because I thought I would never have another chance to date, someone, as amazing, passionate, talented, and caring as you. We've been best friends for so many years, and I know you better than you know yourself, and I truly thought we would work out if I put in enough effort."

"But I realized that unless you put in effort too, it would be futile. I tried to make it work for us, but you made it so heartbreaking for me, Tae." she sniffled, "It hurts hearing someone else's name slip out of your mouth during sex. It hurts hearing your boyfriend spend more time thinking about and calling and texting someone else while ignoring me completely. It hurts when I know that I'm going to get heartbroken, but I stay with you just to keep you from being lonely and maybe just because I had a little ray of hope; that maybe you would open your eyes to see me as something more than just a replacement."

"It fucking hurts, Taehyung."

I couldn't stop my tears, letting go of Yoongi's hand as I hugged her close to me. I never realized that she was hurting so much; and it hurt to know that I was just as selfish as I accused Yoongi of being.

We were practically the same then; hyung and I.

I blamed Yoongi hyung for a lot of things while I was the real asshole. I had hurt my best friend and my lover so much, and I had put her through so much emotional distress that I hated myself for it.

"Tzu, it's okay, I'm not even upset," I whispered into her ear. "Baby, don't say sorry. I don't deserve an apology from you. I should be the one begging for your forgiveness."

"I was the real asshole here, and you know it."

"I hate that I hurt you, and it haunts me that I made you cry like this. You made my life so much happier and I owe you for some of the best memories I have. And yet I was the one to break your heart, and I hate that."

"I'm so sorry, Tzuyu," I mumbled into her ear, palming her hair gently as she hid her face in the crook of my shoulder. "I don't deserve your forgiveness for this, I don't."

"I-It's okay, T-tae," she wept, sniffling harder, "I l-love you so m-much."

"Baby, I love you too. Please, please don't cry." I begged, my heart aching yet again as I realized that I would never have someone other than my hyungs who cared for me to this extent.

Yoongi POV

Chanmi and I looked at each other, unable to keep eyeing at the teary spectacle unfolding right in front of us. All of a sudden, she glared at me, eyes blazing in what seemed like a sudden realization.

"You kissed him, didn't you?" she whisper-yelled, walking up to me with her fists clenched tight. "I know you did, so don't even bother lying."

"Wasn't gonna lie anyways, babe." I shrugged, "I was waiting for them to wrap up the sob fest."

"How did he even end up falling for an asshole like you, I don't even know." she sneered, but her eyes held some specks of hurt and somewhere in me, I felt a twinge of guilt.

"Chan, I'm sorry."

She looked surprised at the sudden interjection of what seemed like an apology.

"Did you just apologize?"

"I'm not apologizing for tonight."

"Oh?" she mumbled, tilting her head in confusion. "The hell are you sorry for then? Don't tell me you slept with someone else during our relationship; I'll slit your motherfucking throat, no lie."

"None of that crap, I did like you okay?" I mumbled, lowering my head to avoid her stare. "If I didn't have even the slightest bit of feelings for you, I wouldn't have agreed to date you in the first place."

"I've fucked around with a lot of female idols, but you're the first one I ever liked."

"Gee thanks, Yoongs."

"No, Chan." I still couldn't muster up the strength to look her in the eye, "I know I fucked up real bad."

"I'm apologizing for all the fucked up shit I pulled during our relationship. I know I was insensitive and rude, and I'm sorry for not being anything close to a decent boyfriend."

"Strike that, I wasn't even close to being a decent friend to you," I whispered only for her to hear, my eyes still trained to the floor, admiring the vague design of the marble tiles. "You have the right to hate my guts for hurting you like that."

"So if you want," I finally faced her, eyes meeting in a heated stare. "You can punch me."

"Hit me all you want, I can take it." I scrunched my eyes shut, knowing that the pain would be horrendous. "Just do it, and get it over with."

I braced myself for the hit that never came. Instead, I found myself being hugged tightly by the girl I cheated on, her arms wound tightly around my body.

"You bitch, you know I can't keep a grudge for long." she chuckled into my hair, "And yeah it's okay, I forgive you."

"Really?"

"Yeah, I'm not even that mad anymore." she admitted, "I mean, I kissed someone else too, and I like her."

"Yeah, you did, cheater." I couldn't stop the breathy laughter that surged from my mouth, "I never expected it from you."

"Shut up!" she laughed too, pulling away from the warm hug with a breathtaking smile lighting up her face. "You're a cheater too, asshole!"

I smiled wide, happy that we had taken the wiser route without any hits landing on my face.

"We seriously solved it like mature adults..." I thought, feeling quite proud of the two of us for being a little less childish than I expected.

But that's when I felt a massive punch on the right side of my face, almost blinding me as I spat out blood. My slighter frame hit the floor in the matter of just a spare second, and I looked up to see her sitting on me with her knuckles poised to hit me once more.

"That's for all the shit you put me through, you asshole!" she smiled almost maniacally, scarring me for life as I wiped the blood that had dribbled down my chin.

"The hell is wrong with you, you psycho bitch!?" I wailed, my free hand caressing the swollen, bruised side of my face, knowing that I had probably cracked a few of my teeth too. "I hate you so much."

A hard flick to my forehead made the pain so much worse, and I almost thought she had landed a nice crack on my skull as she laughed happily.

"That's for kissing Taehyung, and then blaming me for kissing Tzuyu, you shit!"

"YOU KISSED HIM?"

Both of us whipped our heads to face the source of the sudden, piercing shriek. The two who were hugging it out had separated in an instant.

"WHEN WERE YOU GONNA TELL ME, TAEHYUNG?" Tzuyu looked positively enraged, trapping Tae's arms with what looked like an iron grip. "YOU KISSED HIM AND MADE ME APOLOGISE FOR KISSING SOMEONE ELSE, HUH?"

He smiled awkwardly, trying to calm her down, but it looked like she frequented the same gym as Chanmi because the punch that landed on his face looked even more painful than the one I had been gifted with.

Taehyung POV

"We're the most pathetic shits in the world, aren't we?" Yoongi hyung laughed, his arm slung around me tiredly.

It was almost three hours after the entire fiasco, and we were alone in the same room we had walked in on our ex-girlfriends making out. The room where we were supposed to be hooking up in, no less.

After Tzuyu had hit me to her heart's content, we had patched up again. I knew I had deserved all of it, and even more, so I was only glad to be at the receiving end of her anger.

Both the women were extremely sorry at seeing our pathetic conditions, and I felt ashamed that we couldn't even hold a candle to their strength.

A visit to the gym was long overdue for me, and definitely for Yoongi hyung who had flown halfway across the room at just one punch.

They had cleaned us up and had set us on the couch like two mangled old dolls before making us fess up on all that had happened. We talked it out like adults, leaving out no detail whatsoever.

It ended with me and Yoongi hyung bidding the couple goodnight, letting them leave with their fingers intertwined, and bright, happy smiles on their faces.

Yes, I said 'couple'. They were dating now, and I couldn't be happier for them. Tzuyu was with the person she belonged with; her one-sided love had bloomed into a relationship, and though it was hurried and sudden, I couldn't deny that they were perfect for each other.

Yoongi hyung took it quite well, though he mumbled something akin to 'the damn woman's a psycho bitch' at random intervals. I told them that it was okay to leave and that they should spend their first hours as a couple by themselves without the two of us intruding on anything.

It was at least 2 AM, but I was sure that everyone was still partying downstairs. We idols rarely got chances to hang out like this without any interruptions and it was likely that the party would last till the wee hours of the new morning.

They were reluctant to leave us looking like we had been in a fight, and though Yoongi hyung had grumbled a little, we told them that we would be okay by ourselves.

We needed to talk about what happened anyway.

"We have to start going to the gym, hyung." I giggled, my hand on his shoulder as well, leaning on him. I could feel his tired smile radiate off him in waves, and my heart clenched in remembrance of the events of the day.

We had our first win, our first performance, and the most amazing night at Gayo Daejon. But my thoughts were filled with the kisses we had shared and the lingering touches that I could still feel on my body.

"Baby, we have to talk."

His serious tone caught me off guard, and I trend expectantly to look him in the eyes. The Yoongi hyung I faced was different from all the other versions I had seen before. The don't carish attitude that used to occupy his usual bored expression had vanished into thin air.

"We do."

"What happened before was not an accident." he dove straight into it, making me flinch a little as the memory of his soft lips on mine invaded my thoughts once more. "I kissed you because I felt something, Taehyung."

"I was a terrible person to you, and I know what I did was unforgivable." he continued, "I disregarded the fact that you loved me, and continued to hurt you because I wasn't gay and because I apparently couldn't see myself with a boy. I had built a whole fortress of walls around me, threatening anyone who ever got close, and pushing them away."

"And you broke them all down with just a flick of your little finger."

He had tears in his eyes, and my hand automatically went to hide the gasp that erupted from my mouth.

He was crying?

"You single-handedly made me feel things, Taehyung." he mumbled, "You made me feel things that I never thought I would feel. Here I am, my heart fluttering because you're just here with my holding my hand in yours; because you're so fucking perfect and beautiful and my heart can't stand the fact that you're not mine to love and cherish."

"I think I'm in love with you."

No hand muffling my sobs could silence the cry that involuntarily left my mouth. He didn't stop speaking, his eyes still teary as he spoke his heart out.

"I only realized the intensity of my real feelings for you today, but I've cared for you for a longer time than you know." he said, "You might say it's too soon to call it love, but I don't think that I can brand my feelings for you as merely a crush."

"It's way more than a simple crush, Taehyung." he held my hand in his, eyes boring into mine with an intensity that made me lose all control over my thoughts, "You hold the key to my heart, and you can make me or break me as you please, because fuck, you own me."

"I don't think I have met someone as gorgeous and caring as you, with a heart of gold and a smile that could make my heart jump when it's trained at me." he smiled a little, "You make it so hard for me, Taehyung. All my thoughts are of you, and I'm drunk on how your lips felt on mine."

"I know you feel the same, and even now I don't know why you ever fell for an idiot like me. You deserve way more than me; someone who can make you smile, and someone who won't ever make you cry."

"Taehyung, I can't promise you a perfect life."

"I'm still going to be a little bitch, and I'm going to get jealous when someone else even spares a glance at you because I fucking hate other people looking at what's mine. I'm still going to be snappy and tired and a lazy ass that you're going to have to lug around to dates and parties because you know I need my beauty sleep."

"But I promise to make changes." he stood up, pulling me up with him, "I promise to make you laugh at least one time every day, even when I'm not there with you in person. I promise to call you and text you all the time, and take pictures of you and post them everywhere instead of my usual depressing posts because I want to let the world know that I love you more than anything else."

"I'm going to write so many songs about you, love." he whispered, tears streaking his cheeks, "I'm going to pull you out on stage and sing with you; fuck it all, I'll write a whole Cypher for us. Just us, because that's how much I love you."

"I can't even think of going another day without you now, and that's so new to me. I can't believe I'm saying this, and I never thought I'd ever say this to anyone in my life, but I need you Taehyung."

"I love you, and I need you in my life." he was practically sobbing and I was shivering, heart bursting with so many emotions at the same time. His hands were still holding mine tightly; his confessions making the hold he had on me tighter. "Please, Taehyung."

"I love you." he cried, repeating the only words he seemed to be able to let out. "I love you, I love you so much."

"Agree to be mine, Tae." he wiped his tears with the sleeve of his black shirt, "Please, Taehyung I don't think I can last one more second without kissing you, so please say it."

"Tell me you'll accept my love and be my boyfriend." he said, looking sad and serious, "I'm yours, Taehyung. Like I said, you own me and you can make me or break me; I'm all yours.".

Yoongi POV

"I'm sorry but I'm going to have to say no."

I asked him to make me or break me, and he chose to break my heart.

Taehyung POV

I chose to walk away like my heart hadn't been ripped from my chest.

——————————————————————————————————————————————————

So that happened...

You didn't think that with one kiss scene I would let them end up together, right?

Oh my darlings, you have been fooled yet again.

Note: Yoongi was sincere this time. I couldn't have written his dialogues with any more sincerity because it was pure. Everything he said was 100% from his heart and I'm so proud of his character development.

I cried like a baby while writing this chapter, especially the part where Yoongi confessed... And I cried, even more, when Tae rejected him just like that.

So there's more drama coming, and I can't wait.
