"Aaaagh" Yoongi complained as Jungkook barged into his room unexpectedly. He fumbled with the phone in his hands trying to pause the audio message he was listening to. But it was too late.

He glared at Jungkook "did no one teach you to knock first?" he said frustrated.

"I'm sorry, hyung, I just needed some help with... " Yoongi's eyes were piercing through him, he was really mad. "I can come back later" he offered and quickly left the room, closing the door behind him.

Yoongi sighed and closed the conversation between you two for a minute. There had been too many slip ups and the members were bound to start asking questions. Jungkook was not the first person to walk into him listening to your messages.

Other members had seen him working on stuff that wasn't related to work and he had refused to share what it was about. They had eyed him suspiciously when he was too absorbed looking at his phone, a smile escaping his lips unconsciously. They had interrupted phone calls and questioned his sudden disappearance throughout the day and night avoiding telling them where he was going.

He sighed and threw his head back on his chair, resting on his crossed arms. He had successfully managed to keep your relationship private for nearly eight months now, even if you hadn't been officially together for that long.

With the comeback they had prepared, they were all too busy to notice and he was satisfied as he didn't want to go around giving explanations and exposing himself. It just wasn't the right moment, but now it was coming.

It's not that he didn't trust the guys, he just couldn't deal with them then. Should he bring it up or let the guys come to him? He knew they would sooner or later. The only reason they didn't ask is because he pushed them away before they could, just like he did with Jungkook.

Someone was bound to see through him sooner or later. They knew him well, they knew he didn't want to be bothered when working, they knew he had an attitude when they pushed him to the edge. Yet they also were like brothers and they wouldn't let it slide.

With the world tour coming, maybe it was time they knew. He was already stressed over the having to be away from you and he didn't want to be making an extra effort to hide it from the rest of the band on top of that.

"I heard that woman's voice again when I went into his room" Jungkook was talking to Hobi who had also previously talked about Yoongi being in contact with someone none of them knew.

"Do you think he'd really be hiding it from us? It should be nothing important" the older said thinking out loud, but not being sure.

"It's been months and months though, if they weren't important, it wouldn't be a constant, right?" the maknae was right.

Namjoon came in the lounge and sat on the couch "what are you guys talking about so secretively?" he chuckled being curious.

"You know that time you said Yoongi was working on a song that seemed too soft and he brushed it off?" Hobi said, they had talked about it at the time because they were all working on a rap track back then.

"Uh yeah, that was weird" the leader was reminded of it and frowned confused.

"We think he might be hiding something important" Jungkook shared.

"Who is hiding something?" Jin heard as he walked in. Namjoon thought about it for a minute, ignoring Jin as he'd soon catch up.

"Maybe? It's been a while and Yoongi-yah never brought it up, he was really jumpy too" he was now looking at Jin who wanted to say something.

"If there's something we need to know, he'll tell us" he said as he now followed.

"Haven't we given him enough time?" Jungkook shot back impatiently "Taehyung and Jimin hyung told me the other day that he was acting weird, all smiley and it was hilarious" he added trying to convince them and giggled at the thought.

Yoongi walked into the room obliviously looking at his phone, the air was tense so he looked up. All eyes were on him, he sighed. "What?" he asked, his eyes darting from one member to another. "Did something happen?" he was starting to worry.

"You tell us" Jin said narrowing his eyes, Yoongi tried to look unsuspecting. He turned around to walk back to his room as he was starting to feel anxious. "Where are you going?" the eldest scolded him.

"I left something in my room" Yoongi mumbled without turning back.

He locked himself there and surprisingly no one came to interrogate him for a while. There was a knock on the door and he braced himself before he said "yeah, come in" and saw it was Hobi. It could be worse, he thought. He was most worried about Jin and what his reaction would be.

"Can I talk to you for a second?" Hobi asked warily.

"If there's no other choice" Yoongi answered and motioned for him to take a seat on the bed as he spun on his chair to face him.

His shoulders were slumped and he looked defeated, he wasn't ready even after all this time, not even to tell Hobi with whom he was rather close. "Who is that woman you talk to?" Hobi said going straight to the point.

"Someone I started talking to a while back" Yoongi stated the obvious.

"What for?" Hobi tried to dig deeper, trying to get him to loosen up. He gulped at that, trying to think of another vague answer, his eyes shifted from side to side as he stared blankly at the floor, thinking hard.

"Are you interested in her?" Hobi offered the words so he didn't have to say them. Yoongi's eyes met his and he could tell he was right.

He patted the shy guy's shoulder as he got up "you know you can talk to me, whenever you are ready" he said as he headed for the door to exit the room. "I hope it's that girl in the bikini" he added and laughed unabashed. Yoongi wanted to hide under a rock, possibly turn into one, he had forgotten about that.

That was enough of pushing him, he didn't want him to snap, Hobi thought. He grinned at himself, excited to finally have an answer. Yoongi mostly kept to himself, so he was curious about how this had happened, who you were and how or why he'd let you in. It sounded implausible considering how little he left the house, in the beginning, that had changed.

After seeing Yoongi's face, he didn't feel right telling the others the details, so when they asked him to spill all he said was "it's someone he started talking to a few months back." It was a confirmation, but it was nothing new.

"But who and why?" Taehyung said feeling like that was not news to anyone. Hobi shrugged and headed to the kitchen to pour himself some water to force an end to the questioning. They were all gathered in the lounge once more, the members that had been missing included.

Meet the oneshot that inspired this story, Secret Girlfriend from my collection of oneshots "BTS Imagine"! It might have sounded familiar to some of you. I seem to get inspiration from developing my previous ideas that have potential to be longer.
