I knew I had fallen for her from that very first video call, the one where I saw her Chimmy comforter, where she said it was like talking to a unicorn, and I met her kitty, which I still can't believe she named Suga Kookie. There was something so beautiful about her, so special, so real, that I couldn't help but want her, couldn't help but feel myself fall for her. And the night I met her in person and hugged her for the first time, I knew I had fallen hard. Part of me was afraid to believe that a girl such as her, someone so amazing, could fall in love with me, but the night she told me she loved me for the first time was one of the best nights of my life.

As an idol, I knew that there were fans that claimed to love us, but we knew deep down they loved us as their idols, these untouchable people that could only exist in their fantasies, but with Y/N it was different. She didn't love me as an idol, but as a man. She loves me for the man that I really am, not the idol that I share with the rest of the world and to know that makes my heart feel so full, makes me feel so unbelievably lucky that sometimes I am afraid to admit it is real, that this is really happening to me.

Sometimes I feel bad that I can't take her on regular dates or spend a lot of time with her, but it is something she has never made me feel guilty about. She has promised me over again that just spending time with me at her apartment or at the dorm with the guys is enough for her. It was hard for me to believe that at first, but when I look in her eyes and see the clear love for me that is so visible there, it helps to alleviate some of my fears. I try to apologize to her, but she just kisses me and tells me that she is happy just to be with me when she can. She has never once seemed annoyed or frustrated when I come over for a movie and end up falling asleep on her lap. When I wake up feeling guilty, all I get is the sweet smile that tells me everything is perfect. She always says she is the lucky one to have me, but it makes me question which one of us really is the lucky one.

A tap on my nose pulled me out of my thoughts and I looked up to see Taehyung standing in front of me, holding out a hand. Looking around the room, I realized everyone else had stood and our break was over. Taehyung pulled me to my feet and I took my place in the lineup for our practice. We had been working on a new song and were getting ready to record the music video, but needed to get the dance moves down first. The choreographer, Song Son-deuk began the song and I pushed anything from my mind that wasn't dancing. As much as I loved thinking of my beautiful girlfriend, I knew I needed to put my all into my dancing.

An hour later, I collapsed down on the floor, giving Jungkook a grateful smile when he passed me a water bottle. Unscrewing the lid, I took a large gulp, the cold liquid soothing my dry throat, then wiped the excess from my lips. I checked my phone, hoping to see a text from Y/N, but I realized she was still in class for another hour. I sent her a quick 'I love you,' wanting to give her something to make her smile at the end of the day then stuck the device in my pocket. Before I could see her tonight, we still had another round of practice and a meeting. Namjoon was surprised at the meeting since it was called last minute, but when we asked about it, he just grinned and said he couldn't think of anything we should be concerned about.

When the announcement first came out about Y/N and me, I had been worried about how the fans would react, but they were surprisingly supportive. They had trended #supportidolrelationships and it made me feel good knowing they wanted to see us happy. There were the occasional crazy comment about how we should be single and that us not being emotionally available anymore was wrong, but I tried to ignore those comments. Yes I was an idol, but at the end of the day I was still a man in love with a woman.

Tired from the extra practice, I sat down heavily in a chair, ready to get the meeting over and to get to my girl. We had decided on a simple dinner, which I said she didn't need to, Y/N insisted on cooking and cuddles afterward. It was the kind of day where I needed her kisses, her hugs, and her cuddles. The practice had been long and the Son-deuk had been a little snappy with us, especially when Namjoon had tripped over his own feet, taking Jin down with him. The move we were working on was complicated and Namjoon had a hard time getting it correct. After a few minutes of cooling down, Son-deuk had come back into the room, apologized to Namjoon and the rest of the practice had gone smoothly. I loved to dance, I really did, but I was definitely ready to get off my feet for the night and take a much needed rest.

Manager Sejin came into the room, followed by Park Jiwon, the CEO of Bighit. We stood out of respect, but he waved at us to take a seat. "I'm sure you're wondering why we are calling you in here. Even though it has to do specifically with Jimin, we wanted to make you all aware of the situation." CEO Park's voice was serious and my heart clenched immediately at the sound of my name.

"We've got reason to believe that your girlfriend is in danger." Sejin's words were blunt as he spoke and I felt a rush of fear wash over me.

I went to stand, but Namjoon stopped me with a hand to my wrist, a silent reminder that we were in the presence of our manager and the CEO of our company. Taking my seat again, I focused my attention on Sejin. "W-why do you think that? What has h-happened?"

Sejin sighed, the sound tired and frustrated. "We received an anonymous email, which we usually would ignore or simply forward onto the lawyers and let them handle it from there, but this email was... graphic. It detailed the steps the sender would take to essentially get rid of Ms. Y/N."

"Rid of? Do you mean...?" Jungkook's voice trailed off and I could see the worry in our youngest member's face. Just like the other members, Jungkook and Y/N had hit it off, laughing over the same memes, sharing silly videos with each other and it made me feel good to know they accepted her.

CEO Park nodded, his eyes serious, more serious than I had ever seen. His next words made my heart stop and the bile threaten to rise up in my throat. "Yes. We received a death threat for Y/N."
