Luckily, the following day Tae didn't bring up what had happened and neither did I. I was glad we were acting like this never happened. It saved me the embarrassment of having to relive it.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying it was an awful sight to see, but still, it was uncomfortable. It made things weird and somewhat confusing...confusing because I didn't hate what I saw.

I'm not sure what that meant exactly but I didn't even want to think about it. For now, I just needed to forget about it and act like it never happened.

Luckily, moments like right now helped get my mind off of it. Currently, I was hanging out with all of the guys. I was shocked when Tae randomly asked me if I wanted to hang out with them and of course, I was happy to oblige.

"So Y/n, I heard about the situation at your work. I can totally get you in at my job if you want!" Jin says, grinning as he leaned closer to me.

I smile as I shake my head. "It'll be okay, I'm sitting down with my manager in a few days to talk about it. I just hope it goes well but if not, I know how to get ahold of you." I laugh.

"Speaking of that, we heard Jin got your number." Jungkook says, his eyebrows seeming to wiggle as he said it. As if he was implying something.

"He did but don't get the wrong idea. It isn't like that." I say and as soon as I do I see Jin frown.

"I mean...it could be." He mumbles, his lips in a pout. Everyone seemed to look at him as he said that, even Tae who seemed somewhat taken back.

I wondered if Jin was not usually forward like this and that's why he was shocked. I look back at Jin, feeling a bit flustered by his words.

"Why isn't it? Do you not like Hyung?" Jimin asks, frowning slightly as he looked at me. Just then, all other eyes landed on me as well.

"I don't not like him, Jin is sweet. It's just weird I guess. I wouldn't want to make anyone uncomfortable." I say, biting the inside of my cheek.

"None of us would be uncomfortable!" Jimin says and my eyes once again, unintentionally, fall on Tae.

He looked lost in thought and I wasn't sure if he was even paying attention to what we were all talking about or not.

"See, there's nothing holding us back!" Jin says, smiling once again.

I felt bad. I wasn't sure how to go about telling Jin I didn't plan to go anywhere with this because of Tae...I didn't want to make Tae uncomfortable and ruin what little friendship we were starting to build.

It kept coming back to Tae...

My eyes shifted back over in his direction. Instead of out in space like he was, he was now looking directly at me. When our eyes met, I couldn't bring myself to look away.

That was until a voice snapped me out of it. The voice belonging to Jin.

"There's nothing holding us back, right Tae?"

There was something about the tone in Jin's voice that sounded accusing. It sounded like he was accusing Tae of something unspoken.

"Of course not." Tae says, his voice serious. A twinge of disappointment rocked through my chest. Why.

"Great! See y/n, we have no reason not to date! You said you weren't seeing anyone..so unless of course you already like someone else...which you don't, right?" Now all eyes were on me once again.

I didn't look up, not wanting to meet anyone's eyes as I spoke. I didn't want them to see right through my lies.

"No, there's no one."

As soon as the words came out of my mouth, I regretted them. I was only going to lead Jin on if I said this and gave him hope.

That was the last thing I wanted to do. I didn't want to hurt him but I also didn't want to lie. So what could I do?

I definitely needed to set things straight.

TAE'S POV-

Disappointment. That's exactly what I felt as y/n uttered the words, "No, there's no one."

Of course I had expected as much but it still sucked to hear it.

This just meant she would pursue things with Jin and honestly, that was the last thing I wanted.

It was selfish, I know, but I didn't want her to date him, even though she had every right to.

"Can we talk in private?" I hear y/n ask and I turn my head to see her looking in Jin's direction. Right away, he agrees.

I watch as the two of them disappear from the room, leaving me to wonder what it is they had gone to talk about. If I was being honest, I felt jealous.

I know I had no right to, but it was now very apparent that I saw y/n as more then just my roommate. Judging by how I feel just thinking about her dating Jin, it's safe to say I like her, a lot. I like y/n...

"What's the matter, you seem stressed?" Namjoon asks from beside me as he takes notice to my behavior. I shrug, not wanting to go into detail about how I had a crush on my roommate who was about to date one of my best friends.

"I'm always stressed." I reply, keeping it vague. Namjoon scoffs at my response. "I mean what's really wrong? You've been acting strange ever since we started talking about Jin getting with Y/n." Namjoon says then slowly, as realization hits him, his lips curve up into a devious grin.

"No way...do you like y/n?"

I mentally sigh, knowing if Namjoon knew, all the guys would know, and if all the guys knew, then y/n would find out. I didn't want y/n to find out.

"No, of course not. Don't be stupid. It's not like that, she's just my roommate." I say, my tongue sour at my words. Namjoon doesn't say anything as he gives a simple nod, falling back into the spot he once was.

After a few minutes, Y/n and Jin return to the room, neither of them really showing much emotions to give away what they had just talked about.

Y/n walked towards me before she spoke. "Ready to go? I'm tired." She said, sounding almost sad. I didn't question it, assuming that was her way of saying she wanted to leave. Regardless if she was actually tired or not.

"Yeah, okay. Let's go." I say, standing too. We say our goodbyes before we head out. As soon as we get into my car, y/n leans back into the seat with a sigh.

"You alright?" I ask, not being able to contain my curiosity any longer.

"You don't have to worry, I told Jin I'm not going to date him. So don't feel uncomfortable, okay?" Y/n says, keeping her eyes out in front of her.

"Why?" I ask simply, curious as to why she had turned him down. I wondered what the reason could be as she seemed to want to get to know him before. It couldn't be just because she didn't want to make me uncomfortable...

Y/n shifted in her seat for a moment before looking over at me, her eyes meeting mine finally.

"It wouldn't be fair to myself or to- It's just for the best this way. Don't worry. We talked about it and it's all good. He's not upset so don't be either, okay?" Y/n says, putting on a forced smile.

I drop it, not wanting to push her further. I start up the car and back out of the driveway.

"Okay."
