August 23
It's been two days since the talk with Jimin.
Things weren't awkward. He was just distant. After rehearsals and the concerts, I spent these past two days with Yoongi in his studio as he worked on music.
Weird, huh?
I was surprised too when he said it was okay for me to hang out with him.
I was having a good time. He was really talented and he gave me a lot of tips on writing and composing music.
I decided to go out with Mark today. After it was revealed that I was in South Korea, I messaged him and we decided to hang out.
I knocked on the door of their building, waiting for someone to answer.
The door opened moments later, revealing Jackson. "Hey!" He smiled, pulling me into a hug. "Come on!" He says, pulling me inside.
"How are you guys?" I asked as I followed him into their kitchen.
"Really good actually." He smiles. "We're really happy seeing you do awesome things."
"I couldn't have done it without you guys." I smiled.
"Molly!" Mark shouted, running into my arms.
"Hey!" I said, hugging him tightly.

After hours of spending time with GOT7, Mark and I stepped out. We walked to a low key café down the street to talked.
"So," He says, wiggling an eyebrow at me. "There have been rumors about you and a guy. But not just any guy."
I laugh, shaking my head at how fast rumors spread. "What do you wanna know?"
"Everything!" He says, placing his chin on the palm of his hand, getting ready to soak up all the information.
I sigh, leaning back on my seat. "I honestly don't know what to say. I'm just as confused as everyone hearing these rumors."
He knits his eyebrows together. "What do you mean?" He takes a sip of his latte.
"I got angry at him because he would kiss me and say a bunch of sweet things, but at the end of the day, nothings official." I say. "So we talked and he told me that there was someone before me that he loved and he needs time to figure things out."
"Oh." Mark said, lifting his eyebrows and avoiding my eyes.
"What?" I asked. He knew something. But he wasn't telling me.
"Nothing." He shook he head quickly. I look into his eyes intensely, demanding answers. "Okay!" He said, putting his latte down. "Remember when you were our plus one at the award show two years go."
"Yeah."
"During that time, there was a lot of tension between BTS, Red Velvet, and EXO." He said. "A week before the awards, there was a big scandal about Seulgi and Kai making out in Kai's car."
"Is she..." My voice trails off as Mark nods his head.
His ex.
"When Kai and Seulgi were caught S.M did everything in their power to cover it, because it would expose Seulgi, Jimin, and Kai."
I nodded. "So people didn't know about Seulgi and Jimin?" I ask.
"Every artist knew about them. They were-" Mark stops, knowing he was about to hit a sensitive spot. He looks at my eyes apologetically, pursing his lips into a flat line. "They were in love, Molly."
Love.
There goes that word again.
"He didn't tell you who she was?" He asked. I just shook my head. "I'm sorry. It shouldn't be coming from me."
I shake my head and put on a smile. "Don't worry. I'm glad you told me."
"Don't be mad." He said.
"I'm not." I smiled. "How can I be? It was in the past."
He nodded, looking away.

After spending the whole day with Mark, he drove me to BTS' house.
I gave him a hug goodbye and he drove off. I walked up to the house, knocking on the door.
After 5 minutes of waiting for someone to open up, I texted Tae.
Me:
Can you come open
the door please :)
TaeTae:
We went out to
buy food :)
There is a key under
the plant
Me:
Okay!
Thank you
TaeTae:
You like bulgogi,
right?
Me:
Yes!
Since I was home alone, I decided to set the table while they return with the food. After setting the table, I cleaned the house a bit. They weren't messy, but they did have a few things lying around.
I was approaching Namjoon's studio when I heard some murmuring coming from his studio. It was a voice I'd never heard mixed with Namjoons.
I guess he's in a meeting.
Before I turned back, I heard my name. I knitted my eyebrows together, leaning in to listen.
"I'm sorry, sir." Namjoon's voice sounded apologetic. "I didn't know you'd disapprove."
"No," the unknown voice was kind, but stern. "You know you guys don't have to ask. I'm not angry. She's welcomed here anytime for however long she'd like. I like her very much."
"Molly really is a great person." Namjoon said.
I smiled at how kind Namjoon was, defending me even though I wasn't in the room. It made me even more thankful for having him in my life.
"The only problem is the relationship." He sighed. "You boys are doing so well, I don't want you to get distracted."
"She isn't a-" Namjoon started But was soon cut off.
There he goes, defending me again.
"I just want you guys to stay focused." The unknown voice said. "You guys have worked so hard to be where you are now."
There was silence.
"Do you agree Jimin?" The unknown voice said.
Jimin? He was in the room too?
"No, Mr. Chu." Jimin's voice rang through my head.
Who's that?
"My relationships have never been a burden on my work ethic." Jimin said defensively.
"Jimin." Mr. Chu whispered. "I understand that, but-" he hesitated. "What about Seulgi?" He asked, not finishing the sentence he's started before.
The room was silent.
Suddenly, someone's phone rang, causing me to flinch from where I'd been standing.
"Hello? Yes. Okay, I'll be there in a few." Mr. Chu said, shuffling to his feet. "I have to go. Just know that I trust your decisions."
Oh shit! I gotta hide.
I hid inside the closet across Namjoon's studio, waiting for Mr.Chu to leave.
Once I heard the door close, I waited a few minutes before walking out. I stood by the studio, listening to what was going on inside.
"Are you an idiot?" Namjoon raises his voice. "Why do you always freeze when it comes to her?"
And It was just silent.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
I hope you eat lots with your loved ones!
