Strippers and CEOs - Namjin Yoonmin Taekook

Forty Six

Yoongi walks out the recording booth. His album is almost ready but he wanted to add one extra song and his now boss couldn't say no. However, when he listens to himself something is still off.

- You can't reach that note yet Yoongi. Let Suran do it. You get along, she'll be happy to help you

- No...I needs another voice. I just...I don't know who yet. Besides, she already has her fame. I don't wanna use her. I wanna have my name be known before I work with big artists like her.

- Hmm...would you agree to work with someone new to the industry?

- If they have the voice I need, I wouldn't are

- Busan's University will have their little show today. Students who are looking for a job opportunity show their talents. They're mostly third year students who are almost graduated. Of course there's always a few from first year who just wanna hear some feedback

- B-Busan's Arts University?

- Yup. And you might meet other famous rappers and artists there as well. They all go hunting for new talents.

- R-Right... I'll think about it

- You have a few hours to decide. If not we'll just go with Suran. Or maybe your brother can come again.

Yoongi takes his lunch break on his own. Usually he meets Jungkook or Hobi somewhere since they're always keeping an eye on him. But this time he needs some time to think. He wonders if Jimin will be there. Knowing him, it's likely he will dance there. He must me nervous. And if Yoongi goes that could be even worst. He shouldn't go.

He excuses himself to go home early. Maybe Jungkook could help him decide. But his brother is not there. Even though he lives somewhere else he usually visits him. But today he has those auditions for the new teacher. He must be getting everything ready for them.

Yoongi looks around his house. He's still not used to the loneliness in it. Too much silence. Not enough laughter. He plays some music and remembers how much Jimin used to enjoy it. Curiosity is killing him. What if he goes? Maybe the stripper won't recognize him.

He no longer wears suits and he died his hair. Maybe that's enough for Jimin not to notice him. Should he risk it? Just so he can see him dance one last time... He can't hold himself from it. He takes his things and leaves to see the show. He makes sure to dress all in black and when he gets there he's happy to see there's a lot of people. He can hide perfectly between them.

Before the show starts he looks around. Some faces are familiar. Famous rappers, famous dancers. Some are new to the industry and other have seen it all. Not so far from him he sees Lee Taemin. He knows how much Jimin admires him. He must be so happy to perform for him.

However, he also sees someone else. Someone that definitely shouldn't be there. That son of a bitch known as Mr. Park. What is he doing here? He hopes they invited him because he gave so much money to this University for years. If everything goes right, he should leave once the show is over.

Eventually, the students that will perform today get on stage. And there he is. With his now black hair. As beautiful as always. Yoongi sinks himself a little more in his seat. Guilt eating him alive. For the last months he's been thinking about a way of saying sorry to him. But he never had the balls for it. And maybe just letting it go is for the best.

It took him a lot to realize what mistakes he made. After quitting alcohol he started to have clear thoughts. Everything came back to him. The way he treated Jimin. The dumb things he did. The dumber things he said. He tries to cover his face with his hair, looking through his bangs at the cute boy he once broke the heart of.
