Everyone thinks the reason Jeongguk is always so hard on Taehyung is that he is just annoyed of him, that the team would be much better without him.
But one day when he wakes up in a world where the other man isn't part of their group, nothing feels right anymore.

-Jeon Jeongguk
-24 years old
-Main vocalist of probably the biggest boy band in the world
-Known to be a perfectionist
-Also a crackhead
-And very sensitive
-A lot is going on behind his usual smile
-People call him the golden maknae because he's the best in everything he does

-Kim Taehyung
-26 years old
-Is known as one of the most unique people around
-As far as Jeongguk remembers, he is supposed to be part of their band
-He is supposed to be his hyung
-The members should know him
-Will he be sad if the one he meets is nothing like the one he knows?

-Park Jimin
-So kind and protective
-Great vocalist and dancer
-He is the closest friend they both have among the members
-Sometimes he feels stuck between the dramas they both make
-He doesn't want to pick sides
-But it gets hard not to when it keeps going on over and over

-Min yoongi
-Rapper
-He is usually dealing with his own issues
-He stopped trying to fix things between the youngest members
-They should deal with it themselves
-It's not bad to fight sometimes anyway
-But he gets really pissed when their drama affects their job

-Kim Namjoon
-The leader
-It's his job to make sure the conflicts in the team ends
-But this one doesn't seem like it wants to end
-Namjoon still needs to get involved
-The agency counts on him to fix it but it's not like he's a god
-He can't always be there to stop them

-Jung Hoseok
-Rapper
-He is always the one who talks to them slowly when things get out of hand
-He actually manages to get them to stay in okay terms with each other sometimes
-But he has his own issues too
-He can't always baby sit them

-Kim Seokjin
-Vocalist
-The oldest member
-He usually just lightens up the mood with a joke and tries to get them to loosen up
-But sometimes he actually thinks of just leaving
-He's not one to like living in this much tension

-Inspired by some stupid comments I had to roll my eyes for only to think 'Wait, that's actually a cook Au idea'!
-Keep in mind that it's fiction
-Canon compliant and some fantasy
-Angst
-Some comedy
-Some fluff
-Definitely 🔞please don't interact if you're not an adult

-If there comes any sensitive stuff, I'll let you know before it so you can skip it
-If you get confused, that's good, it'll all make sense later
-There also will be plot twists
-I might include some polls on some parts. Please answer to them carefully.

-Please allow the characters to make mistakes. It will get frustrating but they need it and I want to keep them free
-Don't judge the characters based on the first look, they might be very different
-Don't ghost-read. Even if you don't comment, your likes can help the story a lot

-Also if you can please try to follow the story and support it as it's going. Even if you have some days of delays. The story needs the most support and opinions while it's going
-I planned the storyline, I might change it a bit later or add things based on the reactions

-In other words your comments can really help the storyline but keep in mind that I'm ultimately gonna make sure things go to the right direction
-Friends to hate to love (Sort of)
-I know what I'm doing
-T.R.U.S.T M.E
- Enjoy the ride with the characters <3

"Hyung."
It's funny how he still calls him that even though all of them know it's just for the formalities!
Taehyung still looks back when he hears it, knowing only one person in their band calls him that.
"Why do you think we even have rehearsals?"

No one reacts, everyone knows why this question is even being asked.
Taehyung narrows his eyes, looking really unimpressed but he doesn't even bother answering, he just looks away.
"We need to make sure we're not making mistakes. You can't make sure if you're barely practicing."

"He'll be better at the concert Jeongguk, drop it."
Namjoon warns him.
"I was just pointing it out since he's the only one who is barely trying." Jeongguk says and this time Taehyung glares at him.
"Don't start again." Jimin groans
"I'm just breathing." Taehyung says.

"Guys, if we start this we're never going to finish the rehearsal on time." Hoseok says.
"Someone didn't even start to finish a thing." Jeongguk mumbles, folding his arms.
"I'm done." Taehyung just throws his hands up and starts walking away.
"Where do you think you're going?"

Namjoon tries to stop him but the other man just continues walking.
He only stops because Yoongi grabs his arm from his way back from the bathroom.
"We're not done with the rehearsal yet." Yoongi says, glaring at the younger man.
Namjoon reaches him too.

"Come on now, you're not a baby." Namjoon says.
"I'm not being a baby. Tell HIM not to be a brat when I'm not even acknowledging his existence." Taehyung says.
"Just finish the rehearsal and go wherever you want. We're not ready yet." Namjoon insists.
Taehyung cringes his nose.

He sighs and gets back. Jeongguk doesn't say anything anymore but he is judging him with his eyes.
Taehyung doesn't try harder than before. He is not like Jeongguk.
Jeongguk has a shit ton of stamina. Taehyung needs to save his for the actual concert.

But Jeongguk seems to think he is just not trying enough. Every time he doesn't do a full turn or a full dance move he just tsks.
Thankfully his part ends fast and he ends up leaving fast too.
He prefers being in his hotel room over being here any day!

"You just had to annoy him again, didn't you?" Jimin asks. He stayed behind since he already has to share a car with their youngest member anyway.
"Did I lie? THIS is why he keeps making mistakes at the concerts. His voice broke last night." Jeongguk says.

"If I don't tell him, who would? Aren't we supposed to be honest with each other?" He adds.
"You've been too honest with him lately. It's not like he's making you make a mistake."
"We're a team. If one of us fucks up, all of us look like fools. He should try a little harder."

"You're not making him feel any better."
"I'm not trying to. If he needs to feel bad to come to his senses then be it. I'm the bad guy but I actually give a fuck about what our fans would think." He says. Jimin watches him with a sigh as Jeongguk continues rehearsing.

Taehyung gets up from his bed to open the door when someone knocks on it.
Hoseok smiles and lifts the food he brought for both of them.
"Look what I got."
The younger man can't help but to smile too and let him walk inside.
"What did you bring?" Tae asks.
"Steak."

"Sweet." The younger man says and sits on the couch in his room. Hoseok sits down too and takes a bite of his vegetables.
"You didn't have to do this." Taehyung says.
"Don't be silly. Just eat up and forget about our little brat."
"Wished he was really that little!"

"I still think he only really got interested in bulking up after your muscle kink showed up." Hoseok jokes.
"Sure, he's in love with me." Taehyung jokes back.
"But really. He cares, don't take everything he says by heart. He works himself to exhaustion too." Hoseok says.

"And he thinks I'm the crazy one for not doing the same." Taehyung says.
"He's just..." Hoseok pauses, trying to find the right word. "A little extra."
"A little?" the younger one lifts a brow.
"I'm not taking his side. I'm just saying, you should both learn to talk."

"I really don't feel like even seeing him again." Taehyung says with a shrug, taking another bite of his food.
"But you do have to see him. Every day. Even tomorrow at the concert." Hoseok says and the other man pauses, frowning slightly at his food.

"Don't make that face. Remember how you were stuck by hips? You were so cute back then. We were mad at you for being in your own bubble all the time. Now you can't even talk to him?"
"Why are you asking me? I know I'm older but do I have to be the bigger person all the time?"
