BTS Imagines

Kim Namjoon (II)

"So you just want me to go on like that? Those questions were by you, I didn't have anything to do with it and now I'm the one being hated. Why won't you allow me to publish a statement?"

"It's part of your job. Now, either deal with it or go. Oh, and I forgot to mention, you're not being hated on for the questions, well not fully at least. People also hate on you because they think you were throwing yourself at that rapper guy."

"Throwing myself at him?! We had lunch together because he asked me to!"

"I know that but the world doesn't. So, either you deal with it or you change something on your own. People used to love you and you have many social media followers, I'm sure you're able to do it on your own."

"But I-"

"Is there something else you want to talk to me about?"

"No, but-"

"Good. Then feel free to go now, I have a lot of work to do."

With a mixture of shock and confusion, I made my way out of the office of my boss. Since that interview with Namjoon things got out of control.

People hated on me for the questions I asked him, even though I myself didn't want to ask him stuff like that. And as I now found out people also seemed to believe that I hit on Namjoon when we were out eating.

Feeling stressed I packed my things and walked back home. Luckily the way wasn't too long. I didn't know if Namjoon was aware of all those rumors, so I decided to just ask him.

At least he didn't mention anything when we were texting the last couple of weeks. We kept in touch after he left and I was glad that we did. Talking to him felt like I was talking to a childhood friend of mine, who already knew everything about me.

As I got home, I threw my things into a corner, took out my phone and called Namjoon. Luckily he picked up a few moments after.

"Hey", he said with a sleepy voice and yawned.
"Did I wake you up? I'm so sorry, I forgot that you're in a different time zone", I apologized immediately.

"Nevermind, I told you I'm always here, even at 4 a.m... So tell me, what's wrong?", he asked, sounding concerned.
"I... Uhm... Have you heard the rumors already?", I asked.

"What rumors? People talk a lot about me", he said.
"Since that interview, people hate on me for asking you those questions my boss gave me but they also think that we have a thing because there are pictures of us in that restaurant we had lunch in", I explained.

He remained silent for a little while, probably progressing what I just said since he just woke up.
"So?", he then asked.
"So people are basically trying to kill me, because they think I hit on you", I sighed.

"But you didn't", Namjoon said.
"Wow, Sherlock", I said ironically. "You know that just as good as I do. But the people who only saw the pictures don't!"

"You could be right about that", he said and screeched his head tiredly.
"I not only could be right, I am right! I'm getting death threats Namjoon because we had lunch together. I wanted to publish a statement but if I do it, people are not going to believe me", I said.
