Chap 12- Glass Mentality Boy

Thanks to everyone working together, the song is nearly complete.

"All I need is Namjoon's rap" Yoongi says smiling at Namjoon.

"Okay! Just give me some time. I'll write one for this song" Namjoon replies, excited as they are almost done with the song.

A few days have passed since then....

"Namjoon..... Why are you sprawled out on your desk, again? Things not flowing smoothly?" I head over to Namjoon's room, when I didn't see him with the rest of them in the living room.

Namjoon wordlessly slides his notebook over to me.

"How is it? I wrote it, but I'm not very happy with it" I carefully read through what he's written.

"Hmm....lyrics about money? That doesn't look like your story" I hand his book back to him.

"Our own lives?" Namjoon asks.

"Sincerity is what's important" I reply.

Namjoon let's out a sigh and sprawled back down onto the desk.

"Maybe we should have a brainstorming meeting?" I suggested tapping his shoulder.

"A meeting?" He peeked through his arms.

"Yeah. Talk to the other guys and let their stories inspire you" I smile.

We both heads to the living room, where other members were chatting.

"So I called a meeting. Feel free to chime in. I hope you'll take this seriously and help me write" Namjoon says, as soon as he got their attention.

"I wonder what teenagers want to be these days" Yoongi asks.

"There are a lot of kids out there without dreams" Jimin points out.

"I didn't have any dreams. I mean, until I decided to pursue music, anyway" Namjoon shares his story first.

"No dreams? A smart kid like you?" Hoseok asks in disbelief.

"The only thing I got for getting good grades was compliments" Namjoon shrugged.

"Friends would compliment me, too, since I was good at games!" Taehyung says.

"Did you want to become a pro gamer, then?" Seokjin asks Taehyung.

"Hmm... No, I wanted to be a farmer" Taehyung replies.

You were just talk about games" Yoongi says, everyone laugh at Taehyung's comment except Namjoon.

"This isn't the time to joke around" Namjoon says, his voice sharp.

"I was being serious" Taehyung pouted.

"Hey, hey, let's throw out some phrases that might work well in a stanza" Seokjin, sensing trouble brewing, quickly changes the subject.

"Oh! I just thought of it but I think it'll be a hit" Taehyung puts his hand out in the air.

"What is it? What is it?" Jungkook asks excited.

"How about 'Glass Mentality Boy'? That sounds cool, right?" Taehyung says.

"Hmm...sounds pretty good to me" Hoseok agrees.

"Yeah, that's new! It definitely sounds like you, Taehyung!" I say.

Namjoon's brows furrow slightly.

"Namjoon hyung, do you think this'll help? Do you like it? So if you put glass and mentality together, it means-"

"Ha...we're not doing this as a joke" Namjoon cuts off Taehyung middle sentence.

"What...?" Taehyung looks hurt.

"Can't you be serious for once in your life?" Namjoon snaps at Taehyung, gets up and storms out of the dorm.

We all blink a few times, glancing each other without any words spoken not quite knowing what just happened.
