Yoongi POV
    Yuri had told us Alex rushed out of class earlier and she wasn't answering her phone. I hope she's okay. Maybe something happened with her mom or brother? Maybe she's sick? I guess I'll find out if she's at work or not. The guys and I strode into the dark club and quickly made our way over to the crowded bar to let Bam know we were here. I sat down on a stool as Bam announced that Alex was performing next. So, she is here? So why isn't she answering her phone? I feel stares on me, and I turn my head and meet Lisa glaring at me as Namjoon rambled on to Bam about some fact about crabs he learned earlier in the day.

    "What the hell is up with you?" I glare back unable to control the aggravation rising in me.
    "Oh nothing. Say Yoongi, I heard you got signed to some label. Guess you'll be some big shot star soon traveling all around the world huh?" Lisa smiled but it was sinister, and her voice was full of distain as she spoke to me.
    "Yeah? So?" I was beginning to grow bored with this back and forth.
    "Yeah, must be nice. Alex was so thrilled when she told us she found out from Yuri and not you." The amount of sarcasm dripping from her mouth was annoying but then it hit me. Yuri told Alex. Shit. Shit. Shit. My blood ran cold as Bam and Lisa and the rest of the guys stared me down as I felt my face pale and my heart quicken.
    "You didn't tell Alex?!" Jungkook and Taehyung yelled shaking me.
    "It's no wonder she ran off and won't speak to anyone. You fucked up again." Hoseok shook his head as the rest of the guys looked at me disappointed. I really did fuck up again. She's going to kill me. 

    I sat there stuck in my head when I heard music fill the already noisy club. Looking up I sat staring at Alex. She was wearing a light beige skintight top with baggy grey sweatpants and heels. On anyone else the outfit might look silly but on her she was ethereal.
(No hate to Hwasa I love her so much)
    Casual yet sexy. She positioned herself as the lights dimmed and the band started to play along with her dancing and singing. Her confidence growing with each verse and everyone in the club could feel it too. A part of me was jealous, other men watching her dance in clothes that left little to the imagination. Fantasizing about her and thinking unpure thoughts. But the other part of me loved this. I loved everyone seeing her confidence. I loved knowing that this insanely talented and gorgeous woman was mine despite others advances towards her. Alex was mine and I was hers. I could only hope it would stay that way. 

    Her song finished and she bowed and waved to the crowd before disappearing behind the curtain towards backstage. I mentally battled whether I should go talk to her or give her space. She's surely pissed, I can tell in her movements and the way she carries herself how her mood is. I know her better than anyone and I know for a fact she is livid with me right now. My decision making took too long and before I knew it, she was seated next to me at the bar smiling and talking to Lisa. I sat staring at her, but she continued to ignore my presence. Bam slid her a martini glass; she took it spinning around to face me and the rest of the guys.

    "Hey guys, Yoongi. How's your day going?" She spoke with a hint of sarcasm and a deceiving smile. To anyone else she was happy and being nice but to me she was masking her temper.
    "Uhh, good. We're good. How are you doing Alex?" Namjoon spoke up scratching the back of his neck as the others tried not to make eye contact with her or me. The tension killing everyone's mood.
    "I'm great actually. Had a pretty eventful day today. Got to perform a new song, found out you guys got a record label deal and didn't tell me, oh did I mention I'm signing with JYP Entertainment to be their newest model?" Her eyes locked with mine as she spoke. My brain not functioning correctly and completely missing the last part of her rambling.
    "Wait, JYP as in THE JYP Entertainment company, known for introducing some of the most popular artists and models?! How the hell did you get a deal with them? We've been sending them samples of our work for months and nobody has contacted us about anything." Jimin started rambling on as the conversation processed in my head. Alex had signed onto a rival company, and as a model. Not a singer. Was she doing this to spite me or am I just that absorbed in my own life to not notice her goals?
    "Funny story. After I found out from Yuri that you guys got signed and Yoongi couldn't be bothered to tell me such an important detail about his life and the fact that Yuri is also moving in with Jimin while you all go off to train as idols, I realized I'm obviously holding everyone back since nobody bothered to inform me of any of this despite graduation happening in less than two weeks. I was walking when a scout from their company stopped me. Told me I had the look they've been searching for and offered me a job on the spot. I called them and told them I'd be happy to take it. They were ecstatic, I guess someone actually thought about me for once. So, you're looking at JYPs newest model." 

    She finished off the rest of her drink as the guys bombarded her with praise and questions and all I could think about was, Alex was leaving me. She didn't come out and say it but how could this work? I'm signing with BigHit and she's signing with JYP. Not only will we both be too busy to even call each other but the chances of us even getting to see each other were slim to none. Idol training required us to train 24/7 and the likelihood of them being okay about us associating with someone from a rival company are zero. I was losing the only girl that has ever mattered to me and it was my fault. Now what am I supposed to do?
