Jungkook's POV

"Are you going to take responsibility for this huh?" Bang PD slams the newspaper on the table, making me flinch back.

I cringe as I read the title of the article for the hundredth time.

Maknae of BTS Jeon Jungkook
Spotted with a New Girl

"I didn't know anyone was watching" I run my finger throw my hair, frustrated.

He waves his finger at me. "I knew this was going to happen. The moment that girl showed up, I knew she was bad news."

"It's not her fault." I defend Jade.

"Not her fault? You've had a crispy clean image up until the moment she reentered your life. Do you know how much money I've invested into you from the start?" Bang PD bellows.

"Okay that's enough." Nam Joon finally stands up. "Yelling at him isn't going to help anything. The photo isn't even bad. They're just talking outside. Just say they're friends."

I look at the photo taken of Jade and I the day she came over to my place. We were outside by my car. I was trying to convince her to come with me. That was probably my mistake. I should have just left her alone.

I hear Bang PD scoff. "Friends? Like the media and the fans will buy that. They're in a sketchy parking lot in the middle of the night. Plus, what's a taken guy doing with another girl?"

"We can easily spin this." Says Nam Joon. "Just say she's a staff member and we were shooting late at night."

PD Bang slumps in his seat. It seems like he really liked the idea. "Get out both of you." He waves us away. I quickly get up and leave his office as fast as possible, not wanting to be there anymore.

"You saved me hyung"

He pats me on the back. "Don't worry this will all blow over. By the way, have you checked on Jade yet?"

I shake my head no. I should probably though, considering her face is on full display on the front page of the newspaper.

That night I get home and ring Jade, praying that she picks up.

She finally answers on the 4th ring.

"Jade."

She doesn't say anything at first, the silence making me worry. "You see what they're saying?" She laughs. "Apparently I'm a slut." She snorts, making the smoke blow out of her nose and mouth.

"Are you okay? Are you choking?" I asked worried, hearing her have a coughing fit.

"Nah, I'm fine. I was choking on the smoke. So how'd the boss take it. I assume he's quite angry."

"Angry's an understatement. Don't worry about that. Nam Joon hyung fixed everything."

"Oh?" She asks curiously.

"You're our new staff member apparently."

I hear her laugh. Oh how I love her laugh.
