He fell first, she fell harder.
Once he knew that she fell too, he fell hardest.
A story of Korea's most famous K-po...
I look at Shin Hye in front of me scrolling her phone but then at Yury who's busy clicking pictures outside the car.
The others went by in another car. We are going to the JinHit building to sign a contract. I hear a phone ringing and I turn to look at Yury who receives the call. "Hyunmin?" I frown and turn to Shin Hye who shrugs before we gaze back at him.
"Paparazzi? How did they know?" He asks him over the line and my eyes widen as I stare back at ShinHye who gives me a surprised look. "Okay, meet you there." He says and hangs up.
"What happened?" ShinHye asks him and he sighs, "The paparazzi are there. Apparently, they heard the rumors and now they are gathered around the building." I nod and the car halts. "We are here. Oh my God! There are so many people!" ShinHye's manager exclaims.
"Let's just get in quickly," Yury says and both of us nod at him. ShinHye opens the door and gets down, I get down next and instantly squint my eyes adjusting to the flashes. I giggle to not offend the media but cover my eyes to adjust to the lights.
Slowly I open them, some of the fans screaming my name loudly. I turn to peek at Yury who jogs up to me while smiling for the camera.
"Y/n! Oh my God!"
"Noona!!! ShinHye Noona!"
"Y/n unnie! We love you!"
"Yury is so handsome! I'll faint!"
"Y/n! Marry me!"
"Shut up! She's Jimin's!" I laugh at the fans bickering cutely but one of them extends their hand to hand me gifts. I take the Barbie doll from her and she wails in excitement when I take it from her. I look at her gratefully, a cute pout on my lips and give her a puppy stare, and mumble a small thank you to her before getting inside the building.
I look at some of the idols waiting to exit. Enhypen. They bow at us as someone screams from behind.
"Y/n!" A fanboy screams and I turn back with big eyes. "Yes!"
"You're pretty!" He screams and I wink at all of them, trying to find the guy but in the crowd it was impossible. "I know! You are pretty too!" I yell and turn back to see Enhypen smiling widely at me. I smile politely at them and bow.
"I know you all!" I say cheerfully and their eyes widen. "Ah, really?" Jay asks in surprise and I smile, nodding while holding the doll in my hands. "We are your fans!" Sunoo says and I look at him in disbelief. "Fans? We are supposed to be friends! I am just 2 months older than you!" I tell him playfully, showing him two fingers and he gasps.
"You know my birthday!" He says and I smile at them. "I follow K-pop since my childhood. I know you guys! I know everyone in Enhypen!" I say and they smile.
"Thank you, Y/n!" They say in unison, bowing together and I bow at them. "Thank you too!" I say before walking past them and finding Yury with the others.
"What were you doing?" SeoJoon says in irritation, eyeing the doll in my hands and I grin at him. "They gave me this!" I say and he chuckles along with the other before we spot Leon approaching us. This lounge is always filled with staff and busy workers in this building.
"Let's go! The CEO is also here today!" He says and as far as I remember his name is Kim Seokjin. We stand in front of the elevator door and it opens.
Soon after signing the contract with JinHit, they asked me to reactivate my Instagram account which I stopped using after the scandal. I protested for 20 minutes but then gave up when the CEO of JinHit was determined to not give up.
I haven't posted anything after the scandal happened. So I posted a normal story with, "I'm back" text over my selca and then the next hour, a news was released that my selca after the dating news broke the Internet. Everyone in the world was probably waiting for my social media comeback.
But I tend to focus more on studies than social media so I took a break for a month or so. Then the marketing team made us open a Weverse account. As for me—
I enter the empty elevator and bang my head on the wall of the elevator, banging it softly again and again. "Y/n?" I hear my name and turn around to see a few members of Seventeen looking at me weirdly. Mingyu is giving me a concerned face, he's probably the one who called for me.
"Why do you look like you're about to cry?" He asks and the others look shocked at the way he's speaking informally to me. I know him well because he went to the same school as me. He was friends with Jungkook so I occasionally interacted with him. "They changed my Weverse account!" I bark and the others flinch including Vernon, Woozi, Hoshi and Seungkwan.
"Why are you screaming? Calm down!" He yells back and the others give him a look of horror before he takes my phone away from me. "Why is there no password, girl?"
"I don't need to! What is there to hide?" I ask him and he sighs. "You are a celebrity. You have celebrity contacts and what the fuck— you have Rachel McAdams' unread message right on top of your notifications and you're walking around without a password?" He exclaims and the others gasp. I met her at a fashion show a few months ago and she suddenly asked to exchange contacts so I did.
"Can you take care of my Weverse for now?" I ask him, glaring at him and he rolls his eyes. "What's the problem?"
"I just renewed my TaeTae membership two months ago. They deleted the account," I say and their jaws drop. "Go home. You're insane." He says and I look at the others, sulking my face.
"I won't get my account back?" I ask and Hoshi speaks up. "I don't think so. You're practically living with a K-pop idol but you are purchasing TaeTae membership, this is something really unexpected."
"You all are making fun of me like Jimin," I tell them and they shake their heads. "No, we are not. It's just that, you are a cute fan. I really didn't think that you'll be like this." Vernon says in disbelief.
"She's really cute and humble," Woozi says and I flip my hair proudly, "Of course, I'm a K-pop stan. I'm cute!"
"She's perfect! I love her!" Seungkwan exclaims and they chuckle but Mingyu hands my phone back to me. "Jimin is texting you," he says and the elevator door opens. I wave at them before stepping out of the elevator.
I walk towards the exit when I spot my manager waiting for me there with the others. "I just got so many modelling offers!" Yury cheers with Hyunmin. "JinHit is good."
I smile at them but DongWook says something. "Thanks to Y/n. Because of her relationship with Jimin we just got global it seems." He says and my smile drops.
In the end, it's just a relationship of convenience. For us. And for others.
A contract relationship.
