Upon entering the room, he sees no one is in there and when he waits for a bit, there's no noise coming from washroom either, to indicate if it is being used, that means taehyung's still in there. 
He goes to this walkin-changing-room-slash-walkin-wardrobe which leads to their washroom. 
He doesn't want to go further but, he wants to wait for taehyung to come out so he can relax, because it's going to be almost half an hour since he'd excused himself. 
So jeongguk does the most obvious thing, which can make him stay a bit longer in there, he pretends to change of course. 
But when, even after him changing into his casual silk Robe, taehyung doesn't come out, he starts to think the worse. 
-unless, what if he has constipation? Of course! It must be embarrassing for him to tell any of us that he's constipated, but what if, what if he's not constipated but is sick? Oh my did he faint? What if he did and I'm still standing here waiting for him to open the door when actually he can't- Jeongguk bites his lips, pacing back and forth impatiently outside of the bathroom door. 
He tries to wait for another five minutes (he waited for hardly two minutes and gave up really) and there's still no sign of taehyung coming out anytime soon, he walks close to the bathroom door and stands there for another half of a minute, debating mentally whether he should knock or not. what if all of his thoughts turned out to be wrong? But what if they're true?
fuck it. 
As soon as he's about to knock, the door suddenly opens and there's taehyung, caught off guard, he widens eyes in shock, looks at him in bewilderment, jeongguk's awakward fingers still hovering in the air to knock on nothing now. He looks back at him mouth open. 
"I - um..." He stutters, he has officially lost the ability to form any kind of a word, totally in loss that how in the world he'd explain that now. 
They just gape at each other and taehyung must've understood his predicament that he takes mercy on him and asks, "Y-you wanted to go in?"
Although it gave a kick start to jeongguk's mind to finally work in order but it seems to slip- 
Fuck fuck fuck
"No! It's not that I wanted go in or like I waited for you to come out, no. I mean I didn't wait for you to come out nor that I wanted to go in or anything, oh my god I'm in a loop, I'm rambling please ignore me! But it's been a half an hour, are you constipated? If you're, should I ask someone to bring medicine or you want to go to the doctor's or-" Jeongguk shuts his mouth and closes his eyes and takes three long deep breaths and opens his eyes and sees, taehyung's blown expression.
He sighs.
"Okay. The dinner was ready and you weren't coming out, so I thought I should check up on you if you were alright. I'm sorry you had to witness all of that just now."
After some painful seconds taehyung speaks in a vulnerable voice, "I-i don't have constipation, I was just-"
Oh
OH
"Oh shit... That wasn't what-" 
"I-I'm sorry," Taehyung says unexpectedly.
"What for?" Jeongguk's jaw would be next to his feet if it could dislocate off of his face right now. 
"All of this. I'm sorry I ran away like an idiot out of the blue," taehyung explains. "I must've made you guys worry, I. . .i usually don't do that I can explain, I was just worried-"
