[ everyone has a secret, but they never expected this to be taehyung's. not even namjoon.]

namjoon hated people, so much. he hated talking to them, he hated looking at them, he hated touching them. and it was all because of his mom.
namjoon's mom was the complete opposite of what a mom should be like. she smoked all the time, came home drunk as fuck late in the afternoon after a 'night out' which turned into two days out without even telling her son. it was because all because of his mom.
sure, there were some people he counted as friends, but nothing more. he wasted no time by dating, getting disgusted at the thought of it. every time a girl or a guy confessed to him he would throw insults their way, never caring that they cried as he broke their heart. he never cared.
until taehyung came along.
namjoon had no clue who the fuck this new kid was, but when his friend jeongguk introduce him to the group, he knew he was going to hate him the most. he was so different from the rest of the group. while everyone dressed in leather jackets and dark clothing, this.. thing dressed in pastel sweaters and white jeans, acting all bubbly and happy, as if nothing wrong is going on in his life.
but one day when taehyung was absent, jeongguk told them something they would never expect.
"don't let that bubbly shit fool you. that kid has been trying to kill himself for about two years now," he explained, shocking everyone.
that kid wanted to kill himself? why? he has such a good life! he had so many friends and everyone loved him! he was so cute and charismatic, so why would he want to kill himself?
"what? what do you mean?" hoseok spoke up, pulling the cigarette out of his mouth. jeongguk just shrugged making namjoon narrow his eyes.
"taehyung absolutely despises himself. all the mirrors he has in his house is covered up because he hates looking at his reflection. he acts bubbly so no one would notice. it took me months to figure this shit out. he's been seeing a therapist for awhile and that's where he is now. he's slowly getting better, but i'm still scared something is going to happen and he'll try again." he sighed, making namjoon shiver in fear.
"jesus.. i never would've thought," jimin stated, linking his arm with jeongguk's. namjoon, despite hating people, always wanted to feel loved and wanted. he wanted to hold someone close to him and pepper them in kisses and tell them how much he loves them, but he knows that'll never happen.
"yeah no kidding. with that annoying personality and loud ass voice? never would have guessed the kid hates himself that much." namjoon finally spoke up. the group turned to him and he stared back, his eyelids lowering in question.
"what?"
"why do you not like taehyung?" jin spoke, leaning towards yoongi. namjoon raised a brow.
"i don't thou-"
"yeah, you do." hoseok cut off. "you completely ignore him when he tries to speak to you. you always complain about him when he isn't around and you always glare at him when he touches you. you aren't like that with us." hoseok explained. namjoon couldn't help but roll his eyes.
"you know i don't like people. of course i wouldn't like him either. it took you guys awhile to grow onto me and actually have me hang out with you."
"yeah but taehyung has been with us for a few months, which is how long it took for us to grow onto you. but.. it's like you're not even giving him a chance!" hoseok replied, making namjoon glare.
