8: 30 pm - Rehearsal.

Hoseok was running over some last complicated moves with the members.

"Come on, Hyung. It's not that hard."  Hoseok says sweating puddles on the floor.

"Not that hard? Only your body can move like that!" Namjoon whines while leaning over his knees and panting for breathe.

The tension was high, you could feel it all around the practice studio. You could see the stress on their bodies through their movements.  

"Don't worry so much about it Hyung's, we shouldn't strain ourselves

"Don't worry so much about it Hyung's, we shouldn't strain ourselves." Taehyung says while he lies on the practice room floor. Their heavy breath and panting filled the room and fog began to appear on the mirrors. "We don't have to strain ourselves, all we need to do is get this Mic Drop dance break perfect." Hoseok adds while stressfully rubbing his eyes. "We'll be fine, let's just keep practicing." Yoongi says while getting up and adjusting his hoodie. They carry on rehearsing while repeating the same moves over and over again in order to be one hundred percent in sync with each other.

I was sitting on the couch in my hotel room going over some email's that Manager-nim sent to confirm the boys' schedule for the MAMA awards. "8:30 pm already?" I say while checking the time on my phone. The boys' rehearsal would have started already but I only needed to be there at around 9 pm for their break. 

Buzz

My phone vibrates on the blanket next to me.

"Please bring the members a nice meal for their break to help them relax."

I got up from my seat and went to go get dressed. I put on some boyfriend jeans, a black tee and white sneakers and went off on my way.

I had to face Yoongi after those embarrassing text messages. Hopefully he would be too busy with practice to even notice me.

I ordered some yangnyeom tongdak chicken and sprite and made my way to the practice studio. I could hear the panting of 7 hard working men coming through the door. "No we need to be more to the right!" Jimin moans while I enter the studio. They were all bending over grasping for breathe, the smell of the  yangnyeom tongdak lingered throughout the studio as I made my entrance. "Food!" they hungrily screamed as they flocked around the food like animals. They must be seriously hungry. 

"Mmm this is so good!" they moan while eating. You could see the stress disappear from their faces as they ate.

"Aigoo you are the best!" Jungkook says with a full mouth while pointing at me.

Yoongi looked over at me immediately and my stomach sank to my feet. Aish this is awkward... As if the text's weren't embarrassing enough, now I have to see him face to face.  I could feel his stare burning through my skin as I became more and more red. I shift my eyes towards him and he nod's lightly just before looking away.

He was wearing a plane over sized grey hoodie and a mask that only covered his chin

He was wearing a plane over sized grey hoodie and a mask that only covered his chin. He was bare faced and I could see the little sweat drops dripping from his messy hair. His slight gesture was comforting. My nerves started to cool down and the red disappeared from my face. What could he possibly be thinking? "You're cute?" 

I look away shyly and go look for somewhere to sit, "Hey come sit with us!" says one stylist-noona while patting the chair next to her. I walk up to the table full of stylist's and join in on the conversation. 

"Do you remember that rookie idol that cheated on Yoongi? I heard a rumor that she contacted him again." 

Their eyes widened as they began to discuss the details. 

"I heard that he still likes her." 

"I saw her at our company building recently you know."

"She was probably secretly seeing him."

I sat there, listening to those words flow out of their mouths. Truth be told, I was hurt. I knew these were probably just rumors, but each word pierced through my heart like a dagger. I couldn't help but feel hurt and a little jealous. Maybe this would explain why he was being so distant lately, he was caught up with another girl. 

"You're close to them, have you seen her around?" They ask while staring at me like hawks, waiting for me to feed them the juiciest answer. 

"No." I say while taking a sip of my water and watching the boy's go back practice. 

"Good! She was a real wrench." One say's while folding her arms across her chest and rolling her eyes.

"I remember how heart broken Yoongi was when he caught her with that other man.. what was his name again?" 

"Jong Suk." 

I froze in my seat, nothing can describe the awful feeling that shot through my body as the words "Jong Suk" hit my ears. "Excuse me, but did you say Jong Suk?" I say while my nails were nervously clawing into the palms of my hands. 

"Yea the one that lives in the same apartment building as their dorm." 

"That's how Yoongi found out you know, he caught them together in Jong Suk's apartment." 

I could feel the hot flush of sweat escape my body as my heart raced faster and faster. Jong Suk, the one that took me for coffee, he even gave me advice about Yoongi. He knew the whole time yet he still spoke so openly about Yoongi's breakup. It all started to come back to me, now wonder Yoongi was so angry that day that I spoke to Jong Suk, he knew what he had done. Everything started to make such perfect sense.

I looked over at Yoongi who was busy practicing  his dance with Jimin. I couldn't help but feel sorry for him.

Why wouldn't he tell me?
