Taehyung started to take caution around Yoongi.
                          
It wasn't so bad that he would have to go into the back so he wouldn't be in the same space as him, but whenever he was around Taehyung would talk and smile less. 
                          
Hoseok was the the only one that noticed his precaution on Wednesday so he ended up making his order instead (even though that wasn't what he was supposed to be doing that day). Then on Thursday, just as Namjoon was about to take his order, Taehyung butted in and took his order instead. That left Hoseok, Namjoon, and Yoongi confused.
                          
Once Yoongi left, Hoseok dragged him into the back so they could talk about it more privately. Seokjin was the only one in there. 
                          
He was sitting on the couch not doing anything, most likely because Namjoon was out there working. 
                          
Hoseok let Taehyung into the room, who took a seat on the other side of Seokjin. He closed the door and leaned against the wall next to him.
                          
"Why are you guys in here?" Seokjin asked them.
                          
Hoseok shrugged. "We just have to talk about something."
                          
"Am I able to stay here?"
                          
"Yeah, sure." Taehyung replied. "I'm not really sure why I'm in here myself. Hoseok just pulled me over here without any explanation."
                          
Seokjin looked at Hoseok with confusion. 
                          
"I said that I wanted to talk about something with you." Hoseok explained. "I guess it's alright if you stay in here, hyung."
                          
Neither of them said anything.
                          
Hoseok tried to think of a way to start the conversation. "So... Taehyung. Care to explain?"
                          
Taehyung furrowed his eyebrows as Seokjin looked over at him with a similar expression. "Care to explain what? I don't remember doing anything wrong."
                          
"You didn't," Hoseok started. "It's just weird to me how yesterday I had to take Yoongi-ssi's order because I could tell you didn't want to. Then today you were so quick to take his order instead of Namjoon."
                          
Taehyung laughed. "That's it? Why does that make such an impact to you to the point where we have to discuss it?"
                          
"It's just weird coming from you." Hoseok stated. "Did he do something?"
                          
Seokjin didn't know why Taehyung looked at him with such caution. "Does it have to do with me?"
                          
Taehyung bit his lip and nodded, looking down to the floor.
                          
"He was just asking about hyung's behavior..." Taehyung began. "I thought it was strange why he cared about our situation so much."
                          
After hearing what Taehyung said, Seokjin stood up and stomped his foot onto the ground. "I knew that guy was trouble!"
                          
Hoseok motioned Seokjin to sit back down. Once he did, he looked back over to Taehyung. "He has a reason to question it."
                          
Seokjin raised an inquiring eyebrow.
                          
"From all the events that have been happening, and being friends with someone who's included in them, he has a valid reason to ask." Hoseok spoke.
                          
"But that doesn't mean that he can just invite himself into the situation." Seokjin argued.
                          
"He was already in it," Hoseok told him. "He was the one who began it all."
                          
"He and Jungkookie..." Taehyung whispered under his breath. 
                          
"If I'm being honest here, Taehyung," Hoseok got Taehyung to look up again. "I think you're being a bit immature."
                          
Taehyung pointed to himself. "Immature? I'm not being immature!"
                          
"I-" Hoseok tried to say, but was cut off.
                          
"I think I did the most mature thing in that situation." Taehyung said. "I would be immature if I talked about my friend behind his back. I didn't do that, and I would never do that!"
                          
"That doesn't explain what you did afterwards." Hoseok pointed out.
                          
"I did that because I thought it would be awkward if I did anything else." Taehyung explained. "And if I'm being honest here, I'm starting to agree with Seokjin hyung."
                          
"What?"
                          
"I don't think Namjoon hyung should talk to Yoongi-ssi anymore." Taehyung clarified.
                          
"Finally someone that agrees with me." Seokjin sighed in relief.
                          
"You're jumping to conclusions." Hoseok told them. "Nothing about that one event proves him untrustworthy."
                          
"It doesn't, but it's suspicious."
                          
Hoseok rubbed his eyes. He knew that no matter how much he would try to argue they would always say no. Yoongi seemed fine to him, but they did have some kind of point. He just couldn't figure out what it was. And maybe he didn't even want to know.
                          
"We should get back to work." Hoseok said.
                          
Taehyung smiled. "That's what I was hoping to hear. I don't want to sit in a room full of tension."
                          
He stood up and skipped back outside. It would always confuse them how Taehyung can change his mood so quickly.
                          
Hoseok glanced back at Seokjin. He wished none of this happened, and he hoped to find a way to solve it, but he knew that he wasn't capable of figuring out how to make everything go back to the way it was before. Namjoon could, but he didn't know as much as everyone else did. All that he knew was that Seokjin was ignoring him, and that itself must be a bit stressful on his part. Hoseok didn't want to give Namjoon more stress than he deserves. Not after some of it left. Hoseok could figure it out on his own.
                          
Hoseok hoped he could figure it out on his own.
