Strange [Vmon]

7

After the sudden confrontation Namjoon hadn't seen Taehyung for the rest of the day. When he went back to his room he saw that V's charger wasn't plugged into the wall anymore along with his sweater not being in it's usual place on Namjoon's desk. V hadn't been back since late again and Namjoon's finger had lingered over the maknae's phone number debaiting whether to call him or not.

Taehyung came in quietly moving about the room like a critter trying his best to not wake his leader, but Namjoon decided not to pretend that time. He sat up in his bed waiting for the singer to flicker on his desk light. "Taehyung." Namjoon called earning a jump from the other. "Hyung, you're still awake?" V asked not bothering to turn around. "This has to stop. I don't know how you're doing it - sneaking passed the staff - but it's gotta stop, Taehyung. It's dangerous, staying out so late." Namjoon saw the tips of the maknae's ears burn red.

"Were you worried?"

"Yes. Come in at an earlier hour."

Taehyung exhaled a short breath he had been holding and turned to face his hyung with a small smirk playing at his lips. He studied Namjoon's face before bothering to reply. "I'm sorry I worried you. I won't stay out so late again." He said. Namjoon would've been lying if he'd said he wasn't shocked at the amount of obedience he was receiving from the maknae. They'd argue before, sure. Everytime Namjoon lectured V it'd always end with the singer going completely silent or sulking for the rest of the day, but V had been listening to Namjoon.

Actually listening to him lately. Namjoon was sure that when he'd tell the maknae about coming in late the other would whine about it.

"If you're still tired, hyung, please rest. I won't leave again, I promise." Taehyung called from across the room. Namjoon didn't realize he'd been zoned out staring at V for almost two minutes. He felt his skin go warm from embarrassment and he quickly sank back into his blanket turning away from his roommate. There was only the sound of ruffling as V collected his night clothes to take a shower.

"Hey Taehyung.."

"Hm?" The singer replied on instant dropping his clothes on his bed to turn towards his leader.

"This is your own personal business, so if you don't want to answer then that's completely fine, but where do you go at such late hours all the time?" Namjoon asked.

Taehyung's gaze went towards the ceiling where it settled pressing a finger to his lip. "Then I won't tell you." He said.

Namjoon felt defeated, but he said what he said and V had listened intently. He gnawed on his bottom lip feeling the urge to ask his dongsaeng more. Even though he knew he wouldn't get a single answer from the other. He still wanted to know about those pictures.. That seemed like something Taehyung had been trying to let pass over. "... You can talk to me. I won't push you away." Taehyung said softly ruffling his hair in the mirror. His eyes met Namjoon's in the reflection and he felt his lips quiver towards a smirk, but held back.

"You already rejected my question." Namjoon replied peering down at his fingers gripping the top of his blanket. He didn't know why he'd begun to feel nervous. Even though him and V were starting to become closer, somehow they're starting to grow distant again. Maybe it was the fact that he was alone with V and remembering all the weird stuff the maknae had been doing up till now.. "It's a secret, hyung." Taehyung said climbing onto Namjoon's bed gently whilst to not frighten the other.

Namjoon's eyebrows met at the sudden action and he pulled at his blanket more. "Then, the pictures." He said.

"What pictures?"

"You know which ones."

".... So, you saw them after all, huh?" Taehyung said quietly. The singer could've just come out and said that he'd been using the pictures for masturbation material. That's where he'd been sneaking off to at night. Going somewhere away from the others to have his privacy. He'd probably even have a good laugh afterwards at how his leader would react. Then again, he was trying to reach the same level as Jimin with the hyung. Telling the man something like that would lose him a great deal of points.
