When in Paris... (slow updates)

11: New Couple in Paris...

A few weeks have passed since Taehyung's and Lily's plan went into action. Every alone time they got, they hugged, kissed, held hands as long as they could. But once others are around, they act sad. Taehyung is an actor and he was putting on the best performance of his life, Lily is a director so she knew how to act and convey how she was feeling.

Everyone on set picked up on how they were with each other. Of course they didn't let it affect their work which everyone was impressed by, but their closest friends being the mini family of theirs noticed. Gal and everyone else wanted to talk to Taehyung's company to change their minds, they tried, but they really would not listen.

The other BTS members noticed as well and they felt for their member. They tried talking to their manager but he said he can't do anything. It was the rule and they had to follow it. Taehyung knew they tried and thanked them for it.

Despite the downsides of everything, Taehyung and Lily are still making it work with the short times they have together. They still like each other a lot and if there was something they learned from this, it's that their love for one another grew.

They loved the feeling but Lily was getting worried. Not if Taehyung felt the same way, but if their feelings get stronger for each other, will they be okay with just seeing other for a little bit? Or will things change again?

Lily had these thoughts for awhile, she didn't share with Taehyung because she didn't want him to doubt anything or her. She couldn't go to anyone about it since no one knew they were still secretly together. So she's been relying on a journal to relieve some stress.

It wasn't until the next morning when Lily's stress levels rose. There was yet another article about her and Taehyung; but this time there was a third person.

Taehyung's New Girl and Lily Dumped

Lily immediately received texts from friends and colleagues, but there was one in particular that caught her eye.

Fire him or else more will come.

Lily already knew this was an anti-fan. But why do this, she thought to herself. Knowing they would be in the receiving end of hatred and troubles.

The studio became high school all over again; the gossip, the stares, the whispers. Lily ignored it as usual until she caught sight of Taehyung. He approached her but she turned away, not wanting to attract any more attention. She made her way to Gal's dressing room but before she made it, Taehyung pulled her towards an empty stairwell.

"Look that girl in the article is no one. She bumped into me, dropped something and I was only trying to return it to her."

"I believe you."

Taehyung sighed with relief and hugged her. Lily revealed her thoughts, "I might have an idea why it occurred and if my assumption is correct, that girl you bumped into is crazy."

"What do you mean?"

"I'll explain later today after work. But I want your manager to be there when we discuss this."

"Okay...wait are we going to -"

"- tell the truth? Yes, we just might have to and confess. If your boss does not understand our love for one another, then he just needs to screw himself. What you do in your personal life won't affect your work, because you know how to be professional. We both do."

"I was afraid of that. Okay well, we're in this together," They hugged and in that hug, Taehyung registered what Lily said, "wait a minute, did you say 'love' as in you love me?"

"I uh don't know what you're talking about." Lily buried her head into his chest and Taehyung couldn't agree more on her statement. 

"I love you too. For awhile now." The two let go of their hug and Taehyung gave her a soft forehead kiss. Then they left the stairwell, not knowing someone else was listening.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Work flew by quickly as everyone was on their A-game, due to the fact no one wanted something awkward to occur between Taehyung and Lily. Afterwards Lily met with Taehyung and his manager to discuss their relationship. 

"Thank you for meeting on such short notice."

"It's no problem. Is this about the news article? I hope it didn't bring any bad rep for the movie."

"Yes it is about the article and no it didn't bring any bad rep. I get the feeling that you're well aware of Taehyung's and I's relationship."

"Oh you mean despite us saying you can't date, you still are? Yes, we're aware. Since you came forward about it first we wanted to say how brave you are for still following your heart. With that being said, the company and I wanted to tell you that we're allowing you two to publicly date."

"Really? What changed your mind?" Taehyung was shocked but overcome with joy.

"Let's just say your friends are very convincing." Taehyung knew who his manager was referring to and made note to thank his members later.

"Well this makes the meeting much shorter than needed. Thank you so much for understanding!" Lily said with a bright smile on her face. Until she remembered another topic needed to be discussed.

"This morning shortly after I read the article about Taehyung. I received a text from an unknown number telling me to 'fire him or else more will come'. I am assuming it's an anti-fan but I have no other ideas of who would do this."

"Okay thank you for letting me know. I'll talk to our team and discuss legal actions if things get worse. For now we do have the article controlled and stopped. What we'll do next will include you two coming out to the world. So be on a lookout for an article soon released by us."

"Okay thank you. I will let you know if this person says anything else to me."

"Good. Well if that is all, I will take my leave now." Lily stood up and shook his hand and he left as Taehyung moved seats from being across to next to, his girlfriend. He placed his arm around her shoulders and she leaned in by laying her head.

"Even though this meeting was to be the three of us, I felt like I was the assistant. You handled it so well, I feel like I would've been emotional if it were me."

"Well Tae, I think that could be because I'm just better than you." She teased making him fake gasp as he held his heart.

"As if, we both know who's better," Lily looked up at him with a questioning look making Taehyung laugh, "alright sweetie, it's you."

"No, it's us," she sat up to look at him in the eye, "we make each other better." Taehyung grinned and leaned in for a kiss that Lily gladly accepted and reciprocated.
