Behind Closed Doors {KPOP MULTISTAN}

S I X: rumors

Everyone gathered around at a round huge table in a big quiet room until Bang PD himself came in and sat at the table with the guys. It was dead quiet. No one dared to say anything. The quiet it self was the loudest thing in the room itself.
Bang PD: "tell what what's going on here please before i lose my mind" he said trying to hold his temper.
No one answered and dared to even look in his eyes as he starred right into their eyes.
Bang PD: "if no one's gonna explain then i will. You guys are dating the girls...am i right?" He said standing up.
He walked closer and looked at them with a look that was confusing to identify weather he was mad or calm. Jimin slightly looked at him but quickly hid his face under his cap.
Bang PD: "Listen...I'm not mad but this...this is NOT ok! I know you guys are adults but you guys have to understand the rules"
RM: "we understand and we are deeply sorry that we caused this problem"
Bang PD: "Your careers are on the line right now...everything is going to be ruined if you guys are NOT careful!"
The room was on once silent. They knew that their careers in the Korean industry would be a mess if the situation wasn't controlled as soon as possible
Bang PD: "Is there anything we can do that can stop the rumors that might even create more?"
Mr Min: "I highly suggest that we just keep quiet for now and try not to enter the rumors and the haters. They will like the attention and it will make things more messy"
Mrs Kim: "Mhm i agree. I think that we should also just continue with all the other projects we where planning to do"
Mr Joo: "If we dont talk about it, people will forget quicker so we must just keep quiet for now. And i think we should start the reality show sooner to try distract the public"
Ms Sim: "oh yes! We should start the reality tv show sooner and we should start doing interviews to try make them forget about the rumors"
Bang PD: "To be honest we dont care if you guys are dating or not but you guys have to be careful cause right now our business partners are not so happy about this...including your fans"
Jhope: "we fully understand and take full responsibility for our mistakes"
Jimin: "we assure you that this won't happen again"
The members gave Jimin a look and also apologized. Although the members weren't mad, they where just a bit embarrassed but where not mad at anyone and didn't blame anyone.

The next day everyone had a meeting at the penthouse together with their manger to explain the new tv show they where gonna film and the interviews, music videos and new songs.
Mr Buke: "You guys are going to be starting your reality show next week and are gonna start going back to the studio"
Lisa: "but we are supposed to start the show next month...!" Said Lisa looking annoyed
Irene: "yeah and why are you guys cutting our break short?'
Mr Buke: "because of all the rumors we think its best you guys push out as much content to try change the whole dating topic because '#JinSoo, #LizKook and #JiRose is trending...a lot"
Everyone exchanged looks and looked back at their manger.
Mr Buke: "to be honest we dont mind weather you guys are dating or not but your fans do. But we have decided to make new rules for you all. Everyone looked worried and afraid that the rules would be stricter than usual...WHICH THEY WOULD.
Mr Buke: "Rule number 1 is Do not show or have your phone anywhere near the camera. Rule 2 is behave and act appropriate. Rule number 3...". The list went on and on and they where even given a 17 paged small pocket book with all the rules. The companies where worried that since they where gonna start the reality for them, they had to be extra careful about what they do, show, say and look at on camera especially with all the dating rumors they didn't want there to be a bigger mess.
Mr Buke: "and when we start filming...please be careful...please. You could tell mr Buke was tired with their mess (lol)

Chaewon(Mr Buke's new assistant) and the other staff members went to go wake the idols up since it was the day that their new tv show was going to premiering.  For the last 6 weeks everyone had been working very hard on their new songs and collars together and had been working extra hours(optional). Irene, Jennie, Seulgi and Jisoo had even started writing a song together on the side and had been working on the music video. The others where also working on music and even acting. Their schedules had been very busy to try make as much content to ignore the dating rumors and it was going pretty well. People where they talking about it anymore and where focusing on the idols.
