mixtape | yoongi

2.3 - 1 week before mv drop

a lil bit of a mix, i'm throwing in some of my other characters from my other fics for this (;

after the day of the double date, things had been going smoothly for all of us. it had been two months since, and yoongi and i along with bells and jungkook had all been going steady.  in the time following the double date, i had been following up on my promise of introducing the other boys to some of my girl friends i thought they would click well with.

hoseok had become fast friends with one of my cousins from the states, hayden wu. he excitedly updated me all about how cool he thought she was, often cooing to me about 'did you know bora-ah is on vacation to korea town for her college program?' and, 'bora-ah tells me she's part of a dance group. is she good?'

jimin had recently become fast friends with one of my favourite salon clients, businesswoman lee haejin, and was all but head over heels for the woman. he seemed to have the time of his life listening to her rant and rave about her days at work, and seeing her in her professional work clothes. there was even a time or two that he told me he stopped to see her at work, and said that she was such a strong, beautiful leader while working. it seemed that the only downside was that she had many admirers; jimin went on to tell me about her birthday being on valentines day, and how everyone called her 'cupid'. 

eventually, i started to tune him out.

next was namjoon. i had introduced him to another cousin of mine who had lived in korea her whole life, son hyejun. to my surprise, namjoon revealed to me that the pair had actually gone to school together. upon further information digging, he came to find out that my darling cousin was actually the same son hyejun who had been nominated for an up and coming actress award this year. he was excited to find out that she had remembered him, and that she was excited for the same. so far, the couple had spent their time just rekindling their old school friendship and hanging out on aligned free days.

following up was taehyung, who had found himself occupied by my closest stylist friend at the salon, moon hayoung. she had several tattoos of her own and took up a style very similar to tae himself, which just caught his eye even more. the duo seemed to be close friends and texted each other often. usually, it was hayoung taking embarrassing photos of me and sending them to taehyung, who in turn roasted the hell out of me in our shared group chat. despite this, we were all still close friends. i only chased hayoung across the salon once or twice because of it.

last but certainly not least was darling seokjin. he had become close friends and would 'casually' flirt with one of the other receptionists at the salon, shin chaeyoung. she was a bubbly girl and quite easy on the eyes, attracting all kinds of suitors that could hardly keep her attention. i'd never seen anyone catch her attention quite like seokjin had caught hers, nor had i seen jin so evenly matched in wit like he was by her. the two went together like peas in a pod, and had jokingly become referred to as the 'god couple' by our group because of their amazing visuals together.

not everyone at the salon knew about my identity, so i was able to keep the secret safe for a while longer. however, much more people were starting to notice me. my first music video teaser had dropped for the english version of the album two weeks ago, followed by the korean version the following week. as far as hoseok being featured in the song and video, we simply teased that a 'hot star' was featuring which was quickly gaining attention as my fans worldwide tried to guess who it was.

album clips of the songs had been dropping steadily, giving sneak peeks into the sound of each song just enough to gain interest. 

as for my nerves, they were shot. the music video drop for the korean version had been changed to release 24 hours after the english version instead. and now here i was, with 168 hours left between me and yoongi hopefully finding out my identity for good... or for me to find out he was much more dense than i realized.
