Euphoria | BTS (Bangtan Sonyeondan)

"It's Okay Now..."

The room is quiet. The tension is thick.

No one really knows what to say and I feel like everyone is waiting on me. But, I'm lost. I can't find words.

"We need to bring Sejin in on this. We have to tell him what's going on," I hear Namjoon say beside me.

I look over at him. I trust that he knows what's best but I'm so scared. What if they fire me?

"I know that's what's best, but I'm.... they'll fire me," I say as my voice cracks.

"We won't let that happen, Eleanor," Joonie says as he places his hand on my thigh.

"And technically, you didn't break your contract," Yoongi says and we all turn and look at him.

"When Eleanor and I started this, I got a copy of her contract and read over it with my lawyer. I wanted to make sure that if anything happened, we knew what to expect," he tells us. I love that he did that. I love that he tried to protect us.

"The contract doesn't state anything engaging in consensual relationships. If we tell the managers that we are the ones that initiated the relationship," he says as he points between himself, JK, and Tae, " then technically, they can't fire her because she didn't do anything," he clarifies.

"Obviously, we would still need to keep it under wraps because we can't let it get out, but we could get all the staff to sign legally binding NDA's and at least be able to be more open within our own circle," he finishes.

Namjoon's hand rubbing my leg has really helped calm me down. I didn't even realize it until I let out a breath and immediately notice that my legs have stopped bouncing. I reach down to my leg and take his hand in mine. I'm so thankful for him; he really is such an incredible leader and I can now see why his members adore him and value him so much.

"Okay, so, should we call Sejin in?" Jin asks, behind me.

"We need to do things quickly, we need to make sure that Eleanor is protected and we also need to make sure that we are able to figure out who is behind this," he says, his tone worried.

"I'm so sorry," I tell them, looking down at my hands, holding Joonie's for comfort. "I'm so sorry that I brought this to you, and that I've subsequently put you all in harms way," I tell them.

"No Eleanor," I hear Jungkook finally break his silence. He's been silent from the moment I walked in with the card.

"This is not your fault. You didn't do anything to cause this to happen to you," he says, "we are going to fix this and do everything we can to make sure it doesn't happen again," he finishes.

I see Yoongi and Hoseok stand up and head toward the door to go get Sejin.

My nerves come back and Joon, instantly senses it.

"Don't be afraid, everything is going to be fine," he reassures me, squeezing my hand and smiling at me.

Tae and JK are in their own corner of the room, talking to with Hobi, and Jimin is sitting on the other side of me, rubbing his hand on my back.

"We will take care of this Noona," Jiminie tells me as he smiles at me, "don't worry. You won't be fired, we won't let them," he says.

"Maybe it's best if I just go home," I say to him.

Everyone's eyes immediately go to me.

"No," they say in unison.

"That doesn't help anything," Hobi says.

"It doesn't stop the fact that someone's been able to breech our security," Namjoon adds.

I nod at them, willing the tears in my eyes to not fall.
