Apart from My Job (JK FANFIC)

Ch 11 | Pt 2: As The Leader

I didn't know, just how puzzled I was going to be tomorrow. 

The entire day was quite normal except the members kept teasing me and Jungkook at times. But I liked it, and so did he. I spent the day joyfully. I was too happy to realize that something was wrong. My life was happy for a while now. I wondered why the sorrow hadn't followed yet.

When the clock struck 5, I was on my way to the bus station. Jungkook was stubborn about him leaving me home but somehow I managed to explain to him that even if the members know, not everyone in this world knows about our dating, especially not in the company.

I was caught off-guard when my phone suddenly started ringing. My phone read "Namjoon Hyung." "Weird. He never called me before." I thought to myself.

I picked it up "Hello?"

"Hi, Moonbyul. Can I meet you right now? I have something important to talk about." asks Namjoon hyung as soon as I pick up. I could feel that his words were forced.

"Umm sure." I reply, still unsure about the situation. I felt the seriousness in his tone which scared me.

"Great. Please meet me at the french brew cafe. I messaged you the address." He vivifies.

"Cafe?" I asked because most famous personalities won't go to popular places, packed with people.

"Don't worry. There will be no one in the cafe since it is my friend's cafe. The cafe is closed for people." He explains.

I sigh in relief. But I pondered what was so important that he cleared out an entire cafe.

"Okay. I will meet you there." We bided our goodbyes afterward hanged up.

"Taxi!" I called out since now my destination had changed.

Tons of building passed before my eyes as I wondered what could he be calling for. Finally, I reached the designated place. The sign on top of the cafe read 'French Brew' in cursive. I could see Namjoon Hyung through the glass window of the cafe. He was scratching his thumb with a ducked head as if he was guilty of something. His expressions were tensed. My worry grew.

I pushed open the glass door with my sweaty hands. Namjoon Hyung finally comes alive and looks up to see me walking to him. I could see that his nervousness grew all of sudden. I was beginning to wonder if he had a crush on me but, luckily it wasn't the case. It was not fortunate either.

"Oh, you are here," he says.

I nod. "What is the matter?" I ask.

His head drops a little when he starts speaking "As the leader of BTS and Jungkook's friend, I have to say this. Before I speak it, I want to say that I like you as a friend and still consider you as my friend even if you don't think of me as a friend later."

"Why wouldn't I consider you as a friend?" concern grows in my eyes.

He continues "You both have to be careful because if the company knows, the ARMYs know, it won't be happy. Jungkook might be fired. Fans will go crazy, crazily mad. Both of you will be the center of all the hate. You both will be cursed 24/7 on the internet. Your love will be named as a 'dating scandal' in newspapers. Extreme situations have also happened with other idols in k-pop who revealed dating like, sending letters hoping for your death, mailing knives and blades, and even worse. Jungkook might try to look strong from the outside but he will be broken from the inside. It took us 9 years to come here. Last time when all the hate was directed at Jungkook, he looked strong in front of us but cried to bed every night. If they decide to fire Jungkook, the entire group will deteriorate. Everyone will hate each member of the group almost as much as Jungkook. They all will think us partly responsible for your dating. And you will become the most hated woman not only in Korea but in the world. So make your decision well."
