Bonded: A Min Yoongi x OC Soulmate AU

"What?" Sehee asks, trying to hold back her laugh.

"You two made quite the impression and people are curious to say the least. Both the Late Late Show and The Tonight Show have requested to move your appearances to this week and to include Crystal and Sehee as well if they wish to participate. We also have a request from Women's magazine for a cover shoot and interview for you two," he says, making them both look at each other in shock.

"Look at you two stealing our thunder," JK grins, sitting back in his chair.

"My ego is bruised and I would like to leave," Jin huffs, making them laugh.

"Just a little longer hyung," Joon chuckles, patting his hand.

"We wanted to run it by you as a group because it is your decision to make; and don't be pressured to join if you don't want to. The interviews are happening regardless, so no harm done if you don't," Sejin adds.

"I think I can speak for everyone when I say we don't mind including these two," Joon says.

"Yeah they're honorary group members at this point. We literally wouldn't be able to do this without them, so they should be included in all the things," Tae says.

"As flattered as I am, I don't know about all the things Tae. My social meter wouldn't be able to handle it," Crystal says, making them chuckle.

"True," Yoongi says, making her purse her lips and side eye him playfully.

"Okay, with that being said, the decision is in your hands ladies," Sejin says.

"Sounds like fun to me. James Corden and Jimmy Fallon seem to be really respectful, so I'll do it," Sehee says.

Everyone turns to Crystal and she nods as well.

"Sure," was her reply, short and straight to the point.

"Okay, I'll let them know and get back to you all with the updated schedule once everything is confirmed. The group can disperse now, but I need Crystal and Sehee to stay," Sejin says and all except Yoongi and JK waste no time tearing out of there to enjoy their extra time off.

"I'm gonna go start on lunch," Yoongi says, placing his hands on her shoulder once he's up.

"Okay, I'll be in there when we finish up here," Crystal says, her face warming when Yoongi kisses her hair on the way out.

JK trails out behind him and Sejin passes them both a folder. They open it and it's the numbers they're being offered for the shows as well as the Women's magazine spread.

"As your manager, I'll explain that what you're being offered for the talk shows may seem low but is actually a pretty good number. Artists don't get paid much for these shows because of the exposure they gain and you two are actually being paid slightly more than each of the members because you aren't artists and they needed to give you incentive to come," he explains and Crystal nods.

It made sense to her and 3 thousand USD wasn't a small amount of money. She thought it was good pay to sit, look pretty, and answer the occasional question. The Late Late show offered an additional stipend of $500 so they'd be making $6500 USD for both shows. She turned the page and saw that the Women's magazine were offering 10 thousand USD for a 3 hour photoshoot and a minimum 1hour interview. They included some brief information stating that they were all about empowering women and had become interested after seeing their red carpet interview. There were also sample questions, all of which were respectful and would give insight into who they are as entrepreneurs and what advice they would give to women interested in starting their own businesses. They'd be featured on the cover as well as have a spread inside.
