Plan B [KNJxOC]

Chapter Twenty Eight: Mia Meets World

A/N: 🚨🔞TRIGGER WARNING🔞🚨 We will get into Leila's past and sexual assault. I will put this (🚨) Emoji where the telling starts and at the end so you can skip it if you are uncomfortable.

Namjoon had pondered the possibility of someone using a drone to get over his family's privacy fence but after so many years of having his family living there without an incident; he didn't think it was likely.

Then again, they had never had an exciting enough reason to do so until Leila showed up with Mia. The moment she was photographed it set off a series of events that led to this very moment. Yoongi was right when he said they didn't know how long Leila had been followed. They hadn't been very cautious at the time and the media got a two for one special when he got into that car with them to visit his family.

What killed Namjoon was the fact that the very moment he decided to right his wrongs, this had to happen. Now, he was sitting in yet another meeting with Si-Hyuk with Leila sitting next to him. This time at least, they were holding hands and he hoped that Si-Hyuk took that as a sign that Namjoon wasn't going to allow them to spin the story this time. Not that they could anyway.

Si-Hyuk stared at their interlocked fingers on the armrest of Namjoons chair. "I don't even-" He pinched the bridge of his nose and dropped his head. "You two said you were careful. Those pictures show you are the opposite. Quite carefree actually."

"Do we know who's doing this?" Namjoon ignored his remarks.

"The attendant at the parking garage took those initial pictures of Leila and Mia. He sold them to the media for a quick buck and it took on a life of its own from there. He's been fired and charges have been pressed but he had nothing to do with these new pictures. Real classy by the way." Si-Hyuk made an 'okay' gesture with his fingers.

"It just happened, Hyung," Namjoon said with remorse. "There's nothing we can do about it now."

"And this," he pointed at their hands. "Did this just happen too? Namjoon, what are you doing here? I need to know because I don't know how to help you anymore."

"Hyung," Namjoon sat up straight and looked at Leila who was uncomfortable and even more worried. "I don't need help. I need to grow up and I need you to let me."

"And how do you suppose I do that when you've been acting like an insolent child these past couple of weeks." Si-Hyuk snapped, crossing his arms. "I've had no choice but to treat you like one."

"I want to give everyone an explanation. I owe it to the fans, I owe it to my family and Leila."

Leila squeezed his hand, hoping that it would somehow dispel the fears she heard in his voice even though she was terrified herself. He needed her support now more than ever.

"An explanation?! There's no need for it now that the pictures are out."

"Yes, there is. They should hear it from me and I don't mean in a politically correct written statement. I mean, the real deal, from the horse's mouth."

"Namjoon, I can't stop you anymore." Si-Hyuk sighed. "I tried to help you but you've made this entire ordeal extremely difficult to maneuver. You knew the troubles this posed for your brothers and you collectively decided to take a risk on your careers. So," He raised his hands. "I give up. What do you want to do?"

Leila couldn't help but feel guilty at his words. She didn't want to be responsible for ending anyone's career. Especially not one of the most wonderful men she's ever met.

Namjoon had already thought of a plan. He just needed Si-Hyuk and most importantly Leila to go along with it. "We have that live interview with Fallon tomorrow morning right?"
