Friday passed and I didn't hear anything from Taehyung, which I didn't feel bad about because he must be super busy with all those meetings.

On Saturday I planned to visit my father again. I was in a very good mood, well I had been the entire week because I actually felt happy.

I greeted Hea and then father. We talked a little bit about how everything was going, the usual.

He stared at me, for a longer period of time without typing anything. It was this penetrating gaze.

    'What?' I asked him.

      'You look in love' the automated voice of his tablet answered.

      'daaad' I only replied in an embarrassed tone. 

He smiled then he typed something again.

    'Who is the lucky guy?'

I rolled my eyes but with a smile

     'You can be really noisy you know that right'

He typed again 'yes that's what fathers are for'

I chuckled.

       'His name is Taehyung'

        'I am happy for you' he typed and for some reason, this made me a little emotional.

       'Don't get emotional on me now, when can I meet him?'

Considering I hadn't told Taehyung about my father's condition the chances of them meeting in the near future was small.

'You haven't told him yet.'

The automated voice shook me from my thoughts. I shook my head to indicate I hadn't. 

'I understand y/n. Take your time. I am not going anywhere'

I hugged father tightly

'I love you dad'

The remainder of the day I walked around with my father through the park, and we talked about how I met Taehyung and everything.

That evening I of course had bar duty again and as soon as I stepped in Yoongi looked at me a bit agitated.

      'What is it?' I asked.

      'uhm y/n, have you seen any like tabloid news today?' Yoongi asked carefully.

      'No, you know I don't read that rubbish.' I answered.

He scratched the back of his neck, as if he was nervous. then he got his phone out.

      'so I was just scrolling through social media and saw this picture, and the guy looked familiar and then I remembered Taehyung and uhm I guess it's him'

My eyes landed on the article 

I normally wouldn't read this kind of gossip and a part of me wanted to laugh it off, but there were a lot of pictures in this article, and it was clear they were in Japan and together. Foremost they were very intimate. Doubt started to grow in me, was this the reason why he hadn't messaged me the entire weekend?

I mean Taehyung wasn't a real texting person, that has been clear since the start. He preferred to drop by instead of texting, and he always kept his texts short and to the point. But still no news whatsoever these two days and then these pictures were a bit suspicious.

The doubt made place for anger.

 So we had one fight and he immediately pulls something like this?

I thought we had talked it through, that we were okay again.

I shook my head and tried to stop the tears that were forming in my eyes.

     'I am really sorry y/n' Yoongi said with empathy.

    'Don't be, it's better to find out sooner than later I guess'

I had sent another message to Taehyung that evening, just a general one to ask him how Japan was. I didn't want to immediately ask him about the article, I don't know perhaps it was a misunderstanding, but no answer again.

I guess I hoped he had replied so I could ask him about the pictures. 

Taehyung pov

I had arrived home early on Sunday morning; I had told y/n I would come back next week but I lied so that I could surprise her.

I had the idea for a plan for today, but I first needed to ask y/n a question, because depending on her answer I had to perhaps adjust the plan. I was aware of the messages she had sent, and I would talk to her about Japan when I saw her. I grabbed my phone and called her, even though it rang nobody picked up. Perhaps I'll just text her the question, and give her time to consider.

Taehyung: y/n, sorry I didn't reply to your texts, the weekend was very busy. but I wanted to ask you. Next week there is a dinner with my friends and colleagues, and I was wondering if you would like to accompany me?

Immediately it indicated that she saw the message

Why wasn't she answering her phone, if she apparently was looking at it?

I growled in annoyance.

I tried to call again

still no answer.

I sent her a message, and one again and one again.

Perhaps I was too impatient or overreacting but damn I was annoyed.

I walked back and forth in my living room. Eventually, there was a ping sound of an incoming message. I jumped towards my phone.

y/n: Go ask your actress friend

y/n pov

Taehyung hadn't answered anymore, nor had he tried to call again. It actually confirmed my fear that it might be true. Why would he do such a thing?

He went to great lengths to get together and he wanted to call it dating yet now that we were, he was suddenly with someone else?

It didn't make any sense

but on the other hand, the pictures were pretty clear

I picked up my pillow and put it against my face to let out a scream.

I decided to clean my apartment, like stress cleaning. I really overdid it; there was no way you could ignore the smell of detergents. Then suddenly the doorbell rang.

Who could that be? I mean Taehyung was still in Japan. Maybe it was Yoongi, though he never came by unannounced. I opened up and a very annoyed Taehyung walked inside.

        'Did I ask you to come in?' I asked while crossing my arms.
