"Ah! You two, finally you're here! Come in, everyone's already waiting!" Seokjin exclaimed as he greeted Jungkook and Taehyung inside.

Namjoon gestured Taehyung to take a seat at the table. Seokjin turned off the lights. It was now dark and only footsteps were heard. Jungkook was confused too – only for a second – but then realised what was going on.

There was a lamp on the table, by Yoongi, staring into Taehyung's soul, all the others surrounding the two. Jungkook gulped, worried, but knew that he could trust his friends on this.

"Hi. We would like you to join Golden Friends. Please be honest with your answers to a list of questions..." Yoongi began, breaking the silence while still staring at Taehyung, who gulped and nodded.

’The heck is going on?!? What's all of this about?!?' Taehyung was confused. He blinked for the first time in a while.

"Sorry if this feels a little awkward...." Jimin added, trying to change the weird, dangerous atmosphere.

There were a few seconds of silence until Hoseok said, "Actually, when our friend was here, we were all funky and cool and chill and now, he's gone... So, things have changed... Life was way better with TaeTae... It was cheerful, right?" He looked everywhere but Taehyung.

Yoongi sighed and cleared his throat. "What is your name?" He began with the questionnaire.

"Umm, Kim Taehyung?"

"Where are you from? How old are you? Why are you in Seoul and with whom?" Yoongi was already losing his patience in answering each question, one at a time.

"I am from Daegu- I mean- Uh... Kojan- Uh, I'm from... Uh... I-Incheon! Yeah! F-From Incheon! I moved to Seoul because my parents' jobs? The jobs are here so... I… What else did you ask?" Taehyung lied about his hometown. He stuttered as he was nervous and oblivious about the situation. He could only think why Yoongi was taking an interview.

"Never mind... What are your hobbies? Interests? What do you like to do when you're bored and what's your personality like?"

"Umm, I like to play games, listen to music, sing, dance, rap sometimes... When I'm bored, I just like to play with my hyung- I mean... I just like to play around and uh, read a book? I don't think I can answer the question to my personality type cause I'm like a weird sort of pers- I mean...I am a very disciplined, young boy... Uh, yeah..." He couldn't help but lie. He was out of his mind, he didn't know what to do at the moment.

"Well, I'm just going to have you join without any more questions. Let me introduce you to everyone." Yoongi snapped shut his folder and jumped up from the chair, walking towards Seokjin, ready for an introduction.

Taehyung said, "Oh, don't worry. I know all of you. Seokjin-hyung, Yoongi-hyung, Hobi-hyung-"

"What? How do you know?" Namjoon asked, trying to convince Taehyung to tell them the truth, but failed.

"I told them your names before... Don't worry..." Jungkook interrupted, and he could feel a pair of eyes on him. Eyes that sought for answers, eyes full of curiosity and confusion. It was Taehyung – the one who couldn't understand why Jungkook protected him all the time.

"Sure, you might've told him our names but how does he know which name belongs to who?" Hoseok raised an eyebrow. He too, wanted Taehyung's explanation.
