Chapter 26: Balance

Suddenly the door is opening and in rushes Kim Seokjin, overwhelmed with feelings. Happy to see his lover come back to him with no scratch and it's rare that he isn't injured. It's hard to hide his feelings in front of everyone.

"Seokjin." Namjoon whispers but sadly gets no time to warn him that they are not alone.

Taehyung doesn't know about them. No one does.

"Joonie!" Seokjin exclaims, running into his arms and hugs him tightly.

"Thank God you're okay. I was so worried! You always worry me! All of you!!" Seokjin exclaims. Namjoon holds him, always does.

"Such headache it is to be in love with someone who's always so close to danger." Seokjin doesn't stop talking. He blabbers his feelings with Namjoon all the time and Namjoon always smiles, kisses him.

But they are not alone.

"Jinnie." Namjoon whispers. Seokjin frowns, pulls away from the hug.

"What---". He stops when he hears a clearing of throat. He freezes, heart drops. Namjoon sighs.

"Taehyung's here." He whispers. Doesn't know what to expect from Taehyung but he has hope that he can trust him.

Seokjin's eyes are full of fear as he looks at Taehyung, who's---fucking smirking.

"Taehyung." Seokjin whispers, his eyes tearing up.

"I have fucking heard your moans. This is nothing." Taehyung says in amusement and the two look at him in surprise.

"I paid attention. If others had, they would've figured out too. You two aren't really good at hiding it." Taehyung says, walks towards them.

"If you're this scared of everyone finding out then be more careful please." Taehyung says.

"You---won't tell?" Seokjin asks hesitantly.

"That psycho gonna kill everyone and I'm not a person to do such low class things. What would I get by doing it." Taehyung shrugs.

"He'll kick me out. Won't even spare Namjoon even if he's part of the mafia family." Seokjin says, sad.

"I don't want to lose a friend so don't worry. I won't tell. I heard you two having sex and said nothing so---". Taehyung shrugs. Seokjin and Namjoon turn red. Taehyung chuckles.

"Thank you, Taehyung." Seokjin says. Friend he had said. Seokjin smiles at that. Namjoon smiles thankfully at him too, a nod is enough.

"I was being a fool. I shouldn't have sent you the rest." Taehyung sighs.

"I hate it when he treats you like that. Even when I don't know the reason. I just hate it." Taehyung says.

He hates being shouted at. Being handled as if his feelings don't matter at all. Hyunjae used to do that. That was his way of loving. Shin Hyunjae. Taehyung hates him.

He has seen Seokjin look the same. His eyes fearful in front of Jeongguk as if he doesn't matter at all. Taehyung wants to change that. If he has even a little control over Jeongguk, he will change that.

He needs to know what happened though.

"I want to know what happened. If that's okay with you." Taehyung says. Seokjin takes a deep breath, nods.

He tells him. He tells him everything and Namjoon was right. He wants to laugh because this is fucking ridiculous.

---------------------

"Where's Taehyung?" Jeongguk asks once he's done explaining how they will tackle Kyungmin's first client tomorrow.

It'll be Jimin and Hoseok. It's not difficult and they'd be enough for that.
