Among The Stars - A BTS Fanfic

Chapter 13

I have been called to the studio, for a 1-to-1 talk with the producer. The studio is soundproof, and has only one camera and a few mics to record, but is the only place where it isn't streaming 24/7.

If the production wants they can release to the public what happens within it, but they cannot release anything that BTS records unless they have their label permission.

I am tapping my fingertips against the armrest of the chair as I wait for the producer to arrive. I can help but smile, knowing that I am at the very place where the next album is currently being recorded. Sometimes I hear one of the boys humming it, but they stop it as soon as they notice they aren't alone.

"Hello Miss Y/L/N." I hear a voice from the speakers and notice the director is now visible on the computer screen. "How are you doing?"

"All healed up, thank you." It has been a few days since the incident and I am happy to be out of bed.

"So while you were resting, we have called V by himself to the studio as well, with a proposition." He starts and I stiffen, whatever it is it can't be good.

"After a lot of convincing he finally agreed to it, now we have to ask you for your cooperation." I nod for him to continue. "We want you two to date."

"Excuse me?" I must have not heard correctly.

"Well obviously not for real and you need to build it up gradually. The public will know it's a mission so you will not be experiencing any backlash for this." Oh my God, he is actually serious.

"You are insane if you think I will not get backlash, even if it's just for pretending to date a member." I am amazed a the stupidity of this guy.

"Miss Y/N, dating in Korea is slightly different from in the west. It's way more subtle and," he pauses as if trying to find the right word for it, "fewer hands-on." Wow, he did not just call us Western sluts?

"What do you mean by less hands-on?" I am clearly getting aggravated by his wording.

"I don't mean it like that, I apologize. What I meant is we are more conservative. Anyways Mr. Hak. asked me to tell you that Amelia says it is in the best of your interests to do it." Crap. Both me and Amelia had agreed that if this sentence is ever used by the production it was a message from her that things were not looking good and I should go to the production team's plan. Which I am really against.

"Okay." I breathe, I am trusting Amelia with this.

"Okay? Do you mean you will do it?" He asks, looking surprised.

"Yes. I'm in."

"Great! During Sunday's life, we will announce that the public voted for next weeks sleeping arrangements and that you as V were voted to stay as roommates for the following week." He explains. "You and he have to come up with a plan to set up the scene. You cannot just say you are dating. This needs to be very subtle, the rest have to start wondering about it, rumors should start, and expect some confrontation in the future. Stand your ground. From now on you are in love with Taehyung. Please start using his name before the week is over, instead of his stage name. You are free to go." I get up feeling slightly numb, I need a fucking drink.

I grab a pack of beers from the fridge and go to the storage room. Steal one pack of cigarettes and head to the back garden. Finally, I sit myself behind the greenhouse, where no one will bother me.

I rarely smoke, only when I'm stressed. I shouldn't but now I need it, the whole of my body craves the release of dopamine that brings me. After a few drags, I start to feel light-headed, due to not being used to it. I take a sip of my bare and close my eyes. Enjoying the sun.
