The One

Chapter 28

Lilly:

"What are your plans for today?" Yoongi asks as we enter the Bighit building. I consider his question, thinking about the work that has piled up because certain music producers work without break.

"I have a few songs to polish up for Donghyuk. Also, Bang PD wants to have a meeting about the popularity of the new album and talk about upcoming songs and collaborations," I summarize, realizing exactly how much work I have to catch up on, "What are you doing today?"

"I have a meeting with Bang PD after you," Yoongi smiles, "About the collaborations coming up, and award ceremonies,"

"I see," I bite my lip. It occurred to me the other day that Yoongi needs to spend more time at the dorm and with his members. I recall the conversation I heard between Yoongi and Namjoon.

FLASHBACK:

"Have you been staying there this whole time?" Namjoon asked.

"Yeah, where did you think I was?"

Namjoon scoffed, frowning.

"I thought you were working, that's where you normally are,"

Yoongi looked down at his hands, looking belittled and ashamed to be disciplined by a younger member.

"I'm sorry... I've just been caught up,"

Namjoon tsked, folding his arms.

"I understand this is a new relationship for you, but you are an artist," Namjoon sighed, "We are so behind, and fans have been saying you have been removed from the group because you don't turn up to commercials,"

Yoongi bit his lip, trying to hide his shame from his leader.

"Band PD is worried, I am worried," Namjoon stepped forward, placing his hands on Yoongi's shoulders, "We need you back, okay?"

Yoongi nodded, staying frozen as Namjoon walked away.

"Yoongi," I start as the elevator doors open. Yoongi smirks before beaming down at me.

"What is it?" He asks cutely.

"I think you should move back into the dorms," I state firmly, trying not to look too cold or too firm.

"Why would you say that?" He asks, grasping my hand.

"I overheard your conversation with Namjoon," I look up at him, "You need to concentrate on your work,"

Yoongi considers this for a moment, staring deeply into my eyes. After a moment, he sighs, conceding.

"All right," He smirks bitterly, "As long as I can stay at your place on weekends, or over two days if I have an event on, okay?"

I smirk, beaming up at him. I thought he was going to argue, fight, or even suggest leaving BTS to be with me. I'm glad he's not that desperate. I'm glad he's not willing to give it all up for me. They worked hard to get where they are. Previously, they only rested during video or photo shoots. He needs to get back into it.

"Fine," I grin, giving his hand a little squeeze. As the elevator doors open I let him go, rushing over to the meeting room. Yoongi turns and heads to the practice room where BTS are waiting for him.

The meeting is long and by the end of it, I'm ready to go home. But I have too much work to do. Basically, Bang PD wants us to work extra hard to make another album sooner rather than later. The next album will be followed by a world tour, so it has to be epic, amazing, and unique.
