My parents were called to an emergency meeting in Nevada and left me home alone. They had suggested I invite the boys to come over and stay with me since they will be leaving in two days. Jimin and J-hope were goofing around dancing, Jungkook was watching TV, Suga and Rm were chatting, and Jin was making dinner.
"If you could go anywhere in the world, where would you go?" V asked, I could tell he's been practicing his english, it was already a lot better.
"I'd love to go to Hawaii." I smiled at the thought. "What about you?"
"An African safari. See lions and elephants." I could hear Jungkook stand up and walk off towards the bathrooms.
"That would be so cool!" I jumped up, "Imagine just walking around and then a lion pops out at you." I walked behind him and swung my arms around his neck which we took as a sign to give me a piggyback ride. He stomped over to the dancing duo and attempted to copy their dance while carrying me.
"You look like monkeys!" J-hope laughed at the sight.
"The best dancing monkeys you'll ever see!" I retorted.
"Dinner is ready!" Jin called us all to eat. The sound of a door opening was heard and footsteps were approaching the kitchen.
"Jungkook the ramen is ready!" I yelled and spun to face the entrance of the kitchen. There I saw (f/n) with wide eyes. "(f/n).." I didn't know what to say. I couldn't tell what she was thinking. Is she mad? Is she sad? Everyone was frozen in place.
"(y/n).. You have some explaining to do." She was mad. I took her by the hand and pulled her to my room. The story seemed to spill out of me. I explained every detail to her like my life depended on it. I told her what happened the night of the concert and how I've been with them every night since. I told her everything except the truth about Taehyung and I, even though I knew she'd figure it out.
"You've been lying to us?"
"No-"
"We're you ever going to tell us?"
"Yes when the ti-"
"Who gave you the ring." Her eyes filled with tears. She knew the answer from my silence. "Taehyung. You're dating Taehyung. You know how I feel about him!" She screamed.
"I know! It just happened, I didn't plan it. But (f/n), we can't tell anyone. Nobody can know." My own words seemed to repeat in my head, nobody can know. I will be his secret lover until.. Forever probably.
She didn't respond. She stormed out of my room leaving my eyes to overflow with tears.
"Wait, (f/n), please! I didn't mean to hurt you!" I yelled after her. She slammed the door and the boys rushed to my side.
"(y/n).." Taehyung pulled me against his chest. What am I going to do.
...
I didn't get a second of sleep last night. I was either crying or lost in thought. What if she told Jackie and Louise? How am I going to function if my friends won't talk to me and Taehyung goes back to Korea.
As I made my way through the halls I felt like everyone was staring at me. Probably because of my puffy eyes. The scratchy inside of my large sweater rubbed against the fresh cuts on my arms. Before last night I was 3 weeks clean. Damn nerves.
I was desperate to talk to (f/n). Trying my best to walk straight I hustled from room to room looking for my friends. I found them in the common room, huddled together talking about something. They all looked my way when I walked in the room, (f/n) looked away.
"(f/n)-" I was immediately stopped by Jackie.
"How could you not tell us." She grabbed me and pulled me closer so we could whisper.
"They wouldn't let me.."
"They? Bighit?" Louise joined. I nodded.
"That was their one condition."
"But why didn't you tell us. You know we wouldn't tell people." (f/n) finally spoke.
"Because I knew you'd be mad."
"We're not ma-"
"Yes you are." I cut Jackie off. They all gave each other a knowing look and continued to look at their feet. My phone buzzed and I could hear them sigh, they knew who it was. "Guys I'm really sorry I didn't tell you, I couldn't." Louise was the one to answer.
"I think- I think we just need time." She said cautiously. They still weren't looking at me. My eyes started to blur from fresh tears.
"I'm sorry- I'm so so sorry." I tried to stop them as they packed up to leave. They shoved my attempts away and left together. People watched as I tried to hide the flood of tears. I grabbed my bag and ran out of the building and down the street as fast as I could. My phone buzzed again.
New message)
Sugacane: Are you okay?
Older messages)
TaeBae: How did it go?
Joonie: Did everything go alright?
I clicked on the newest message which happened to be from Yoongi. Hesitantly I typed 'I don't know' and sent it. My tears had blinded me so much I didn't realize how far I had ran. He replied back with an address that I wasn't too far from, without asking I headed over. The thought of school left my mind.
The address led to a buffet. The inside was surprisingly dark but the blue haired boy stuck out like a sore thumb in the corner of the room. I slumped into the seat next to him.
"Are you okay?" He asked again. I shrugged my shoulders and could feel my lip quiver. God I must look like such a baby. He left out a scoff before pulling me in for a hug. I couldn't help but let out the tears that had been fighting for freedom for so long. Being with one of the boys made me feel safe. "Shhhh." He said into my hair.
"Th-They hate me." I said through the tears.
"No they don't. They just need some time to think." He gently stroked my hair while I continued to cry. My tears stained his white shirt but he didn't seem to mind. He reached into his jacket pocket and begun digging around, eventually pulling out a single red lollipop and handed it to me. Without removing my forehead from his chest I took it and shoved it into my mouth and the tears slowly began to calm down.
"Thanks." I sat back in my own chair. "I must look like a mess.." I laughed and wiped off the tears.
"Only a little."
"Hey!" I playfully hit him.
"Joking!" He defended. It got quiet.
"What am I gonna do without you guys." He sat quietly thinking of a response.
"You know if anything ever happens you'll be on the next flight to Korea." I smiled. I've never even been out of California, going to Korea seemed like a dream.
We sat in the buffet for a while until Suga convinced me to come back to the dance studio with him. Once we made it to the studio I snuck in to where I knew the makeup crew was and they happily redid my makeup. The boys were in the middle of a photoshoot when I walked in. I sat next to Jin and J-hope while they waited to be called for their shots. I looked over at Tae who was in the middle of his shoot, suddenly he yelled something in korean at the production crew and they raced over to me.
They lifted me out of the chair and rushed me to hair and makeup.
"What's going on?" They ran around me in circles. They redid my freshly done makeup and curled my hair and finished the look off with a dress that slightly resembled Tae's outfit, thankfully it had long sleeves. I didn't even realize they were pushing me out onto set with Taehyung.
"I'm confused." I turned to him.
"I might have asked to get some shots done with you." He smiled.
"I'm not a model!" I panicked.
"Don't think about it, just pose." He pulled me in closer and I tried to follow his lead. The first few taken were something you'd see in a perfume commercial, they actually weren't terrible. The other boys joined in and it became one giant group photo. It was nice to finally smile.
Suddenly the doors to the room burst open with a dozen reporters, I thought this location was private! Taehyung grabbed me and hid my face in my chest, the rest of the boys blocking the view of. Security guards fought the crowd, trying to get them out of the room. The reporters cameras flashed non-stop and all their questions jumbled together into a loud wave of nonsense. I was finally swept up by two extra guards and taken to a private dressing room.
Shit.
A/N: I can finally get to the interesting parts, thank god. Thanks for reading. Leave a comment telling me what you think! -M
