After the photo shoot~
Vlive at BTS Dorm
*****
Once the boys are done with their schedule for the entire day, Jungkook continues his interrupted vlive. It's now 11pm but he still got a huge viewers count. He started off with greeting all his fans. But not long after, male Armys begins to ask about their new manager, Jihyo.
"Why? We shouldn't talk about her anymore or I'll be scolded again. Please don't look for her profile or track her SNS account. They will all get me killed I swear."
Jungkook tried to make a normal conversation with the fans. But comments meant for Jihyo keeps flashing on his screen and made him lose his temper,
"Guys, if you keep on asking about noona I'll just end the vlive. It's my fault to show her to you. I've got a word from hyungs that I made a huge mistake. Please don't make it any harder for me."
A knock on his door tear his attention away from his screen. It was Taehyung. He came to help the maknae after Namjoon told him so.
They ended the vlive after half an hour and decided to call it a night. Jungkook realizes the weight of his mistake and got worried for Jihyo's privacy. He's just hoping he won't put her in any danger.
*****
The next day, the boys only have three schedule line up. A short appearance in a tv program, a meeting with a perspective endorsement and another meeting for their SBS Special stage.
Jihyo was asked to join the boys on all three schedules. But instead of meeting them from their dorm, she'll just meet them at the first venue. It's a good thing that their schedule did not coincide with hers. She has to go to the university for some paperworks and Hobeom allows her provided she'll not be late.

On her way to MBC, manager Hyunsoo called and asked her to buy coffees for the boys. Good thing, the building has a coffee shop so she no longer needs to go far.
"Hyunsoo oppa, how many americano should I buy? About 10?"
She asked over the phone to make sure she'll buy enough.
"Oh, right.. hot chocolate for V. Okay, I got it oppa. I'll be there soon enough."
After the call, Jihyo placed her order and wait while baristas prepare for it. A clicking sound made her turn and saw a guy captures her photo.
"Excuse me, did you just photograph me?"
"Uhm, aren't you the new manager of BTS?"
Jihyo hesitates for a second, she neither deny nor confirm the truth to the guy;
"Uhm, please do not take a photo of me."
The guy utter an apology and left. Jihyo didn't get the chance to know if the guy deleted the photo but since it's just one shot, she might even look horrible into it. Thinking that way, she just shrugged it off and went fetching her ordered coffees.
Knock,knock✊✊
Manager Hobeom opens the door for Jihyo. She got her both hands carry a bundle of coffees. In her armpit, she's holding a cue card given by a staff meant for the members when she passes by the corridor.
"Jihyo?"
Manager Hobeom didn't expect to see Jihyo looking somewhat like a college student. With her backpack and youthful choice of clothes, one will think she's in the wrong place.
"Oppa, can you let me pass through? This is really heavy."
She said referring to the coffees in her hands. Manager Hobeom immediately help her and distribute the coffees to members.
Jihyo hands coffee to Namjoon including the cue card. Then she came giving out coffees to Suga, Jhope, Jin and also V's hot chocolate.
"Noona, are you sure you're my noona and not some random student?"
"Hmm? Why? Do I look weird?"
"No, no... you look... Namjoon hyung!"
V seek refuge to the leader. He suddenly feel shy to see a very feminine Jihyo.
"Tell noona she looks pretty."
He whisper to Namjoon's ear after hiding from his back. The leader laughs and clear his throat after;
"Uhm, Jihyo noona what he's trying to say is that you look really pretty today."
"Oh! Thank you. You don't have to flatter me V, I won't forget it again ,promise 😊"
She's referring about the coffee incident when she forgot that V don't drink coffee but she bought seven of it instead.
"Nah, Jihyo, you really looks pretty today."
Jin added. Not going to argue anymore, Jihyo just thanked Jin too.
"Noona, let's take a selfie. Promise I won't post it." ---Jimin
"Oh! Alright."
"Me too noona." ---Jhope
"Me too, me too!" ---Jungkook
"Looks like Jihyo is popular with the boys too."
Manager Hobeom told manager Hyunsoo and Jigae.
*****
During the interview with BTS, the MC noticed that a pretty woman joined the boys' managers in the audience. They guested tha show thrice already that the MC has been aware they only have male managers.
After a brief introduction in the show, the MC can't help but ask about Jihyo.
"By the way, Namjoon... you have a new manager?"
"Oh! You noticed hyung?"
"Everyone will notice. You only have male managers before. Boy, she's even pretty. Are you sure she's your manager and not a trainee?"
"Oh yeah? Could it be Bighit will have a new girl group and she'll join the group?"
The co-host supplemented,
"Oh no. She's really our new manager."
"Can we interview her for a bit?"
"Hyung, she's shy."
Suga said, hoping they'll stop referring to Jihyo. He feels uncomfortable for the spotlight that Jihyo is receiving. He felt the need to step up and protect her. Eventually, the MC drop the subject and move on with their interviews.

"Noona, would you like some ice cream before we go?"
Jimin asked Jihyo.
"Oh, you want to? I'll buy you one then."
"Let me come with you noona."
The two made a quick detour to buy some ice cream. The other members went straight to the van refusing a cup of sweetness.
"Jimin, what should I get you? Strawberry?"
A flash of camera caught Jihyo's attention. He saw a guy looking at her shyly. Jimin then stood beside her to point out his preferred ice cream flavor.
"Excuse me. Aren't you Park Jihyo from K* Arts?"
The guy who took her photo asked, he's now holding his campus ID to show her,
"I'm attending the same school. Last time, you performed in auditorium to support freshmen. I was there."
"Oh! Really? Wow."
"Can I ask for a photo of you sunbae?"
"Uhm... it's a bit awkward.... (saw his expectant expression) Well then, sure why not? 😆"
The guy only took a solo photo of her instead of a selfie with her. Jimin was really amused that Jihyo is having a fan of her own while he's just around being neglected of attention. I mean come on! He's an idol, right? Not to mention a member of BTS, but the student didn't even spare him a glance.
"Look noona, I capture it nicely, right?"
Jimin peeks at it and ends up asking for a copy of the photo too. Only then the student noticed Jimin and asked for his photo as well. Thinking about it made him cracks up. He didn't even thought that one day, their manager will manage to take someone else's attention out of them. It's weird and funny at the same time but he's not complaining at all. Park Jihyo deserves love because she is really lovable.

"What took you so long?"
Suga asked,
"Hyung, you won't believe it but Jihyo noona is really popular in her school too. She got herself a fan requesting for her photo."
"Don't say it like that Jimin. Come now or we'll be late."
"Noona, you bought an ice cream too?"
Jhope asked,
"Hmm... yeah, you want some?"
"Can I try it?"
"Here"
Before even Jhope reach Jihyo's ice cream, Suga interferes. He grab Jhope's hand and complain,
"You should've bought your own with them. Don't mess with Jihyo's ice cream Hobi. It's not nice."
Jhope made a long face but didn't argue anymore. But he did snatched Jimin's ice cream and Suga didn't even stop him.
The ride going to their next stop has been eventful. Jimin keeps telling the members about Jihyo's popularity that the maknaes even made a bet if Jihyo will take a spotlight again. It's two against one. V, was forced to be the sole competitor voting for Jihyo's unpopularity. He's totally against it but he was outcasted by Jimin and Jungkook intentionally.
I'll definitely lose some dollars today, hmp! ---V
