Chapter 7: Chapter 7
I sat at home drinking coffee not knowing what to do. I knew I was going to get an earful tomorrow. The questions were typical but I wasn't supposed to get personal or answer those kind of question. I heard a knock at the door and opened it see Taehyung with his hood up and a mask on. I quickly let him in before someone noticed. He came inside and sat on the couch, taking the mask and hood off. I sat opposite of him and waited to hear what he had to say.
"Why did you answer that question?" He asked.
"I didn't think I just answered. Like with others. I just stopped paying attention." I said and looked down at my hands.
"So what? You like me now? Not Namjoon?"
"What are you talking about?"
"You spent so much time with him you must have liked him right?"
"We're friends! He was helping me with my dancing and Korean? What's the problem here?" I stood up and looked at him. "Did you really come here to get mad about my friendship with Namjoon or was there something else you wanted to say?" He stood up and faced me.
"I've been around too. Helping you, teaching you, being there for you."
"I never said you weren't. You are an amazing friend Tae and I miss you being here everyday. I'm sorry if what I said put you in a bad position with rumors and-"
"I don't care about the rumors that are gonna start. I cared about the ones about you and Namjoon. I was angry when I saw it."
"Why?"
"Because I believed it! I saw the pictures they had of the two of you and it made sense. You would go for the leader."
"I'm not going for anybody. I don't like Namjoon like that. He is just a very good friend Taehyung. What does it matter anyway. He's under the same contract as I am. Even if I wanted it to happen it can't." I took a deep breath and looked at him again. He was mad but he wouldn't tell me what about. It was getting late and we both had work tomorrow. "It's late. "I'll bring you something to sleep in and you can stay here."
"Don't bother. I'll be fine." Then he rushed out the door.
I just stared at the door confused. Why come over here just to get mad and leave? Nothing was even said or answered. I didn't know what to say or do at the moment. Do I go after him? Tell him to stay? Do I just go to bed and pretend he wasn't here at all? I just didn't know. I was about to go the door when my phone went off. It was Jimin.
"Hello?"
"Have you seen Taehyung? We can't find him."
"He uh, he just left."
"Why did he go there?"
"I don't really know. He asked about what happened, then started getting mad about the rumors with Namjoon and accusing me of being with Namjoon, and I just don't know what's doing right now."
"I'll try calling him again. Get to bed and I'll see you tomorrow."
"Alright. Bye."
"Bye."
~o~
The next morning I arrived at the company and met up with Minseok, Cheolmin, Gun, and Kai. We were going over the music we wanted to record for the album. Though I wasn't the best at writing, we had worked on a bunch over skype last night before Taehyung came over. We decided on 10 songs to record and once that was done we choose which one would debut first.
"Alright well we've got that. We'll start in the studio after lunch." Cheolmin said and we agreed and I left to my locker.
"Rowan." I looked over and saw Yoongi and Jimin.
"Hey guys."
"How's the album coming?" Jimin asked.
"Good. After break we're gonna start in the studio." I told them.
"Awesome. Can we talk to you?"
"Yeah sure." I grabbed my phone and granola bar before following them.
I followed them to thier practice room and saw the others too. They were all sitting while Taehyung was leaning against the wall with his arms crossed.
"What am I walking into?" I asked.
"Yeah I don't know either." Namjoon said and faced the guys with his arms crossed.
"I think we all need to talk this out before everyone's mad at each other." Jin said and looked at the three of us.
"Ok?" I was confused.
"Rowan. You said Taehyung came to your house last night, got mad, and left." Jimin said and I nodded.
"Taehyung has also been ignoring Namjoon for a bit too." Jungkook said.
"Time to talk." Jin said.
"About what?" Taehyung asked looking over at us.
"What got you so mad?" I asked him. "Did what I say really make you so mad?" He got off the wall and took a step towards us.
"Namjoon do you like her?" Taehyung motioned to me.
"She's one of my best friends Taehyung. You know that. That's all there is."
"Ok. Rowan do you like Namjoon?"
"I told you last night I didn't the way your asking. He's my friend." He just nodded his head but stayed silent. "What is your problem with us lately?"
"The rumors." Namjoon said and I looked at him. "You were afraid they were true weren't you?" Namjoon took a step towards Taehyung, who just glared at him. "You thought that I would really do that? Seriously?"
"You two are really close so I assumed you did." Taehyung took a deep breath and looked at us. "I'm sorry for acting the way I did." Then he just left. I stood there with the guys trying to process things.
"Rowan answer a question for me." Jimin said and I nodded. "Do you like Taehyung?"
"I-I. He's one of my best friends."
"That's not what I asked."
"How about this. When he was over everyday how did you feel about it?" Yoongi asked. I stood quiet for a moment. I wasn't sure how to answer. "How was it when he would help you cook? Or play with Wynter? How was it to just enjoy his company doing absolutly nothing?" Again I was quiet for a moment.
"What are you asking me?" I asked him.
"Rowan do you have any feelings for Taehyung?" Jungkook asked.
"It doesn't matter." I felt my eyes start to water.
"Yes it does." Jin said and I looked at him. "How you feel does matter."
"No it doesn't. I can't afford to have feelings for anyone. I have my career to worry about, my kid, my life. I signed a contract. The same one Taehyung signed. So no, it doesn't matter. Now I have to go and work." Then I left the room and met with the guys at the studio.
