Strings ; [Soobin x Reader]

The Unexpected

It hurt that he couldn't say my name, but I know he doesn't know the truth about that article.

"Soobin can we talk?" I ask standing up and walk towards him.

"We have nothing to talk about," he says looking at the ground.

"Yes we do! That article in the news is fake!" I say grabbing for his hand but he moves back.

"Yeah? Just like how it was "fake" when you were alone with Taehyung? Being alone with guys who aren't your boyfriend seem to be your new thing, huh," his voice is strong but I can hear it quiver underneath the facade.

"And you hanging out with girls that aren't your girlfriend is okay?" I throw back at him.

He scoffs. "That was different."

"You're becoming what you said you weren't," I sigh.

"So are you," he says defeated.

"Soobin! Just listen to me. That article was a misunderstanding! You of all people should know what it's like being a target of people constantly taking your photo and leaking your location!" I yell. I'm filled with rage but my eyes can't help but to start watering- he never wants to hear what I have to say anymore.

"I'm done here."

"Wait a minute," Yeonjun blocks the door and keeps Soobin from leaving, "We think Taehyung might have sent that photo to the tabloids and given them a fake headline to work from."

SOOBIN POV:

It takes me a minute to process what Yeonjun just said. "What?"

"Y/N said she saw him on the way here from the bookstore. That would make sense for who took the photo and sent it," Roseanne says giving me an intense look.

"I'll kill him," I bare my teeth, "Let me go."

"We haven't officially proven it yet Soobin," Yeonjun reminds me.

"I don't care, this has gone on long enough." I push past Yeonjun and head out the door.

"Soobin wait!" I hear Y/N call after me.

I turn around. "We'll talk later, okay Y/N?"

I can see her hurt and disappointed expression on her face and for a moment I hesitate leaving, but right now I need to find Taehyung and put an end to this.

I storm into the studio and see a shorter man with jet black hair and big lips. I instantly recognize him- that must be one of the BTS members, Jimin.

"Yah! Where's Taehyung?" I demand.

"Well hello to you too," he laughs.

"I'm serious. Tell me where he is now."

"Woah woah easy there. Now why would I do that?"

"I can easily ruin your group's reputation like he tried with mine. Don't tempt me."

"If you really must know where he is, you're out of luck. He left about an hour ago due to some...
personal matters." Jimin says slyly.

"Well I have a message for him- tell him I'm done playing his game. And if he even thinks of pulling one more thing, I won't hesitate to tell your manager about his tabloid scandal." I exit the room and head back to my car.
