It's not what you think

Summary- Tae thinks you're cheating and confronts you in front of everyone
You poke your head round one of the studio doors in the BigHit building,
“Ah Jin!” you say as you spot the older man looking at his reflection in the mirror.
He spins round as he hears his name, shoving his hands in his pockets to try and look like he wasn’t just checking himself out,
“(Y/n!) I wasn’t just checking myself out...no…”
You laugh and shake your head a little before continuing,
“Have you seen Tae around recently?”
He smiles - it wasn’t unusual for you to come looking for your boyfriend during the day.
“No, not recently. Everyone else is yet to come back from lunch. I’m only here cause i had to go grab something.”
At this, you walk fully into the brightly lit room and walk over to Jin as the door closes behind you.
“Ok good.” you say and sit down on the small sofa in the corner with a sigh. Jin looks at you, confused as he sits down next to you.
“Good?” he asks quizzically, “Everything ok, (y/n)?”
You roll your head to the side to look at your best friend, “Can i tell you something, Jin-ah?”
“Of course, (y/n)-ah! Have I not kept many of your secrets over these past couple of years of our friendship?
“You have, you have.” you say as you nod, “But this one is a bit...personal.”
He scrunches up his face at this, “(Y/n)-ah, if you’re going to tell me something about your sex life I’d really rather…”
“Nooo! Nothing like that I promise!” you interject and Jin gives out an exaggerated sigh of relief which you retaliate with a light punch to his arm.
“So what is it then?”
You shift your gaze to the ground and stick your lips out in a pout, “I can’t...I can’t sleep when I’m with Taehyung…”
“(Y/n)! You said it wouldn’t be about your sex life!”
“Ahh noo! I mean actual sleep! Like i literally cannot fall asleep when I’m in the same bed as him..”
Jin furrows his brow in what you’re not sure is either still confusion or in thought.
“Have you tried like...different positions.” he says, unable to stifle a laugh as he does. You smirk and reply,
“Yeah I mean not actively, but no matter which way we lie or shift I just can’t sleep.”
You lay your head on his shoulder and wrap your arm around him and he lays his head on yours.
“I’m so tired, Jin-ah. I want to enjoy this time with Tae but i’ve come to dread every night...that’s bad isn’t it?” you shift your head so you’re gazing up at him.
But before he can reply, the door swings open and the rest of the BTS boys come charging in as they joke around with each other. Taehyung takes one look at you and Jin and stops dead in his tracks as his face goes cold.
“(Y/n)-ah, is there a reason you're all over Jin-hyung?” he says seriously and proceeds to walk over to you, pull you from Jin’s grasp and hold onto you as he stares at Jin. He knew Jin had always been your best friend since you were little but that didn’t stop him from getting jealous whenever he saw you two together.
“I’m just tired, Taetae.” You reply, trying to wriggle yourself free to look at him.
“Really? That's it?” He says harshly, holding you now at arms length.
“Yeah?” You say confused, “what else would it be?”
“I dunno, (y/n), you tell me.”
“Tae what are you getting at?” You ask in disbelief, “I’d just come to talk to Jin about something but it’s ok, I’ve got to go now.”
“Talk about what?” he says, looking right past you to stare at Jin.
“Don’t worry about it. I have to go. Can you walk me out?” you say as you try to catch his eye to smile at him. He eventually tears his gaze from Jin to look at you and with a smile you begin to walk towards the door. But Tae tightens his grip on your arms and pulls you back in front of him.
“Talk about what?” he repeats.
“I...I didn’t want to talk to you about it here...in front of everyone.” you whisper. You see the others shift uncomfortably where they stand.
“Tae, maybe just leave it for now yeah?” Hoseok pipes up, giving you a small, reassuring smile.
“No, no. You can tell everyone here. They’re my brothers.” he says, looking round at them.
You see the stern look in his eyes and turn, worriedly, to look back at Jin. He nods at you, willing you to take the step and tell him your problem.
“Tae…” you start.
“What’s going on?!” He suddenly shouts as he pushes you away. Jin steadies you and you begin to try and explain yourself again but Tae completely ignores you and goes up to Jin.
“Are you going to tell me that you're cheating on me with Jin?” He asks this directed at you.
“Taehyung-ah no! What?!” You exclaim.
Jin looks physically shocked and afraid of Taehyung who is now right up close to him.
“Tae...I would never…” He starts.
“Well why else would you be so close? You were lying all over each other when I came in and the moment you saw me, you immediately broke contact like you didn’t want me to see.”
“Tae…”
“And she looked to you for the confidence to tell me that she was cheating on me with you.”
You grab Taehyung by the arm, trying to pull him away from Jin.
“You’re blowing everything out of proportion! You didn’t even let me finish what I was saying! All of this is assumptions.” you shout, your attempt to pull him away failing.
“You two have always been so close but I’d never thought you’d actually do this behind my back!” he shouts back.
You scoff in disbelief, “That’s cause I haven’t! We haven’t!”
You’d never seen him like this. He’d always been the jealous type but to accuse Jin and you of being together was way too far. You had no idea what to do now.
Trying to hold him back was pointless. Even as you tugged as hard as you could on his arm he still managed to push Jin back. Jin staggers back with a look of disbelief and annoyance on his face.
“Taehyung, there’s really no need for this!” he almost shouts.
The other boys try to step in and get in between them and you get forced to the side but you manage to wiggle your way back to Tae’s side and help pull him back from Jin. As you and the other members pull on Taehyung’s arms, he suddenly breaks free and you go flying to the floor. There’s a smack as your face comes into contact with the floor and your head becomes fuzzy. You can feel the tears flowing from your eyes without permission and the commotion around you still hadn’t stopped. But was this commotion because you fell or was everyone still so distracted with Tae and Jin? Your vision wasn't helping make it any clearer as shapes swirled around you.
You try to stifle your tears but the pain was too much. Eventually your head becomes clearer and your vision returns and you can see the boy’s faces looking down at you, Tae in the middle.
“I was complaining to Jin that I can’t sleep at night when I’m with you!” you shout through your tears, your messy hair covering your eyes and sticking to your face stained with tears.
Taehyung swallows hard before saying, “What…?”
You prop yourself up on your elbow and look him in the eye and choke out, “When we’re in bed together at night I just can’t fall asleep no matter what I do. I was asking Jin for advice cause I feel bad that I dread every time we go to bed cause I never get any sleep! That’s it!”
“That’s...that’s it?” Taehyung says, his turn now to be in disbelief.
You sniff, “Yes, Tae. I promise.”
There’s silence for a moment, no-one sure of what to say.
“I’m sorry, (y/n),” Taehyung says, “I’m sorry I get so protective.”
You sit on the floor looking at him.
He sighs and turns to Jin, “Hyung, I’m sorry to you as well. I shouldn’t have made assumptions.”
Jin shifts uncomfortably from foot to foot and says, “You’re forgiven, Taehyung. Just think before you speak next time yeah? You’ve got a lot to make up for.”
“I know...I know” he says and Jin pulls him into a hug to show there’s no hard feelings. They pat each other on the back and Tae turns back to you and extends his hand towards you on the floor.
You stare at his hand and take a second to wipe away your tears before grabbing it and Tae pulls you up and into a hug.
“I’m sorry, (y/n).” he whispers into your ear.
“Don’t worry Tae,” you say as you give him a small smile, “Jin is like a brother to me - albeit an annoying one…”
You shift your gaze towards Jin and shoot him a playful glare.
“Yah!” Jin shouts and the others begin to laugh.
