Eunji's POV:

I grabbed my phone off my makeup station where it sat in front of the lighted mirror when it buzzed. Thinking it was probably a text message I set my brush that I was currently cleaning down and instantly swiped the screen to open it. It was an email from BIGHIT and the moment I read the subject line I saw RED.

[Notice] Relationship Status of BTS Members Kim Namjoon & Min Yoongi

Hello.

This is Bang Sihyuk.

I would like to provide you with some information regarding BTS members Kim Namjoon and Min Yoongi's relationship status and our plans for an announcement regarding their current relationship status' which will be announced publicly at the conclusion at their current tour, SPEAK YOURSELF.

Kim Namjoon & Min Yoongi have each entered into committed relationships with individuals that are non-celebrities. Due to the non-celebrity status of the individuals, we typically would not reveal whom the individual is. However, being that the individual that has entered into a relationship with Kim Namjoon is also an employee of BIGHIT and has given consent to be named that individual with which Kim Namjoon is romantically involved is Adeline Pond. Kim Namjoon and Adeline Pond began dating shortly after her hiring as one of our Tour photographers for our LOVE YOURSELF tour which began the previous year of August 2018.

The individual that Min Yoongi is romantically involved due to not being an employee and as previously stated is a non-celebrity will not be revealed at this time.

Being that their new contracts which were renewed last year in 2018 with BIGHIT no longer have a dating clause they were free to pursue romantic relationships if they chose to do so. I hope that with this announcement you would offer them your sincerest congratulations on said relationships.

With all that being said, I would like to remind you as an employee of BIGHIT you are required to sign an NDA as a part of your hiring for BIGHIT. We, I, expect that this email and the information contained within it remain within the company. As I previously stated we will be announcing said relationships of members Kim Namjoon and Min Yoongi at the conclusion of the SPEAK YOURSELF tour. If this information is released beforehand, we will initiate legal proceedings against the individual(s) that does so as the premature releasing of this information could jeopardize the safety of all parties involved. As always, our highest priority is the health and safety of our artists and employees.

Thank you.
Bang Sihyuk

Ringing. That was all I could hear as I finished reading the email.

"Eunji? Hey, what's wrong? Why are you crying?" I heard in front of me but didn't even look up to see who it was.

"I, um, I'm sorry, I'll be right back." I said as I pulled out of their hold and made my way out of the room dedicated to the make-up artists.

I rounded the corner face downward to hide the tears that continued to run down my face as I made my way to the bathroom. I glanced up and when I did my sorrow instantly turned to white hot fury.

Adeline's POV:

I sighed as I stepped out of the bathroom thinking that today was going to be a long day when I felt a searing pain on the left side of my face. The force of it caused me to stumble backwards slightly while my eyes watered from the stinging pain of the impact. My hand instantly flew to the area pulsing with pain. I looked up and I could quite literally feel the color drain from my face as fear overtook my body.
