I ended the vlive a short while ago, still another hour left in our free work period. I refilled my coffee and was just writing down anything that came to mind. Until my studio door opened and Jimin and Jin walked in. They sat on my couch, holding my pillows on their laps.

"Their reaction was a little unexpected." Jin spoke first and I turned around in my chair to face them. "About 70% were really supportive."

"But the 30% were obviously obsessed. They'd ask the same question 10-20 times. I just kept seeing the same usernames." Jimin hugged the Van pillow.

"You guys seem extremely interested in what's happening in my life all of a sudden." I chuckled, crossing my arms.

"Of course. You're the trial run of how Army would take it if we started dating." Jin spoke matter of factly.

"Yeah, we learn from your mistakes all the time. Why do you think no one else got called out for cultural appropriation since you in our debut days?" Jimin laughed. I rolled my eyes and sighed at them both, getting back to the topic at hand.

"I just really wanted to tell them that she's just a friend and they shouldn't worry, but that could be used against me and create a scandal." I mumbled, crossing my legs.

"More of us should be seen with her, then that 30% will think that she just works with us, instead." Jimin suggested.

"Is that your way of trying to spend time with her alone?" Jin chuckled.

"No, no, I'm being serious." He giggled.

"It's not a bad idea." I rubbed my lip. "If she looks like management, they won't bother her."

"But... I'm sure our actual management are seeing these pictures and Twitter threads." Jin mentioned.

"Ah, I'm stressed!" I pulled at my hair and shouted. At this point, Jungkook walks in as if he was listening from outside the door. He walks straight in to stand behind my chair and massaging my shoulders. "Were you stalking again?"

"No, I was looking for Jimin hyung." He giggled with a big bunny smile.

"What for?" Jimin looked up.

"Just wanted to call you short." He broke out laughing, making the rest of us let out small laughs.

"You little shit." Jimin ran his fingers through his hair and Jin had been quiet for a while, well until he called someone and put it on speaker. The person picked up.

"Hello?" My eyes went wide.

"You called her???" I whisper shouted.

"Namjoon?" Zaina asked.

"Hi Zaina!" Jungkook greeted as well.

"Yeah, hey Zaina." Jimin chuckled at my reaction.

"Zaina what are you doing now?" Jin asked in broken English.

"Who's this? I just heard so many voices." She laughed.

"It's WWH Jin. With Jimin, JK and Namjoon." He smiled.

"Ah, I'm out for a walk. I just passed a place called YoYang Cafe." I muttered.

"Oh, she's nearby." Jimin gasped.

"We can walk with you!" Jungkook exclaimed.

"I wouldn't mind, I'll go back to the cafe and wait."

"Yay! We're gonna see Zaina!" Jimin cheered.

"We're on our way." Jin smiled. "Bye bye." He doesn't wait for a response in normal Jin fashion.

>>><<<
.Zaina.

I stood with my hands in my pockets as it had gotten a little cold as the night settled in. After the call, I saved the number in my phone as SeokJin. The streets were pretty quiet tonight, but of course, never silent.

They definitely weren't silent when a pair of footsteps running towards me echoed. I turned around to see all four guys walking with their mask, hats, and hoodies on. But one of them running.

He stopped in front of me, pulling down his mask to speak to me.

"Hi! It's Jungkookie!" He had a big bunny smile, which I couldn't help but laugh at. He pulled the mask back up as the others caught up.

"Hi Zaina, how are you?" Jin waved. I have two thumbs up with a wink.

"Ah, cute..." Jimin whined and hugged Namjoon's arm. That was another word that I learned in Korean.

"Can I..." Jungkook struggled, then looked to Namjoon who spoke back to him. In which he whined and walked away.

"You can do whatever you want, Jungkook." I chuckled. His eyes lit up and he ran over to hold my hand, giggling before pulling down his mask to stick his tongue out at Namjoon. Who gave him a very intimidating look, and he stopped. "Anyway, how are you guys?" I was the first to start walking, the others close behind.

"So tired." Jin sighed, his accent heavy. "We um work, all day."

"Really? What do you guys do for work?" I looked around at them. Namjoon looked at each of them before they answered.

"Model." Jimin smiled.

"Actor." Jin raised his hand.

"Gamer." Jungkook giggled.

"Producer." Namjoon nodded.

"Wait, I want to be a model. But I'm in college to become a chemist." Namjoon translated that eagerly and then gave his reaction.

"Zaina, that's so cool. A chemist? Wah..." I giggled at his reaction. Jimin mumbled something to Jungkook who just hit his arm and laughed.

"Some of us are college, I think." Jin chuckled. I could tell that he knew a fair amount of English, but unlike Namjoon he had a very heavy accent and it made his words a little harder to understand but, it's aight, he's doing his best.

"Me and TaeTae." Jimin smiled. "Computer, but still." He shrugged.

"Online is so hard. I tried it for one of my semesters, that was the only semester I failed." I chuckled as Namjoon translated.

.Namjoon.

I could tell that the guys loved her. Even Jungkook who usually avoids women since he's the most likely to be accused of a scandal. Even though I warned him that cameras could be watching, he did it anyway. I really wanted to enjoy our walk because it was nice to see her and my friends interact. But I couldn't stop thinking about the repercussions of tonight. He'll have to make a public announcement that he's not in a relationship.

I took out my phone to text the group chat.

Stalk weverse tonight

"Why?" Jimin looked back at me after seeing that. I sighed and looked at Jungkook staring at her in such a fond way. This could easily be taken out of context.

"There's going to be pictures of this." I motioned to their hands as we started to drift behind them a little. "When the allegations start, we have to let Army know she's only a friend to us. And hope that they understand."
