The One

Chapter 33

TW: Violence.

Lilly, earlier that day:

I am so bored!

I groan with frustration as I stare up at the ceiling. I have been writing music all day, but it's no fun without the equipment from the studio.

I find myself longing for the enclosed space of the studio, wishing I could use it right now. I am begging for release from this silent hell.

I never realized how boring it is in this house. I have a TV but there is only news. I could watch Netflix, but I don't feel like watching anything. I don't have any of my books, I don't have any games, I'm already bored with my phone, and writing music is just making me miss Yoongi even more.

I pull out my phone again to check the time. It's only 9 am.

I groan again, rolling over so I am facing the back of the couch. Why do the days go so slow? When have I been such a boring person?

If I could go out I wouldn't be so bored, but I am in lockdown. A friend of Bang PD-nim has been bringing any groceries I need. I wanted BTS to deliver them, but apparently, the fan might be watching them. If they come here, they'll know I'm here.

As much as I understand my life might be at stake, I can't help but feel like this is a bit much.

Yeah, fans are crazy. But I have never heard of a fan who physically attacked an idol's girlfriend. Then again, I don't look at much kpop news.

Plus, if they find me, what will they do? Ask me not to date their bias? I can't see the encounter going well for them.

I stare at the ceiling for a little longer, longing for it to give me some hobby inspiration. But it yields nothing.

Eventually, I decide to just play a random movie on Netflix. Who cares if I don't like it? It's better than sitting here, staring at the roof, thinking about that stupid fan.

If you could call them a fan.

Anger boils inside of me every time I think about them. What is so special about BTS, that any girl with them needs to die? What about the other member's girlfriends? Will they be able to handle this as well as I am? Or will they give up on them and break up, like so many other kpop idol couples?

I pull out my phone and text Yoongi. The movie is boring, and I want to see if he misses me.

LILLY: Hey, how's work?

I wait for a moment, staring at the miniature screen. It doesn't take him long to reply.

YOONGI: It's alright, it would be better if you were here.

LILLY: You know I can't leave my house right now. Not until that person is found.

YOONGI: I know... I just miss you.

LILLY: I'll see you soon, okay?

YOONGI: Alright, I'll call you later, okay?

LILLY: Yeah, yeah. Get back to work before Namjoon tells me I'm a bad influence again!

YOONGI: Ignore him, I've been doing what I want for as long as I've been a BTS member.
