He should be ecstatic seeing how the public turns against Seokjin. Definitely a golden opportunity for him to come back to the limelight. Well the thing is, the past him, could. The present him, can't. He looks at the side, knowing the repercussion of his doing. Without further delay, he quickly penned a letter online.
QOO Trending - "We're Friends"
Hi Everyone,
I'm not in the right position to make comments at this moment. However, I can't just turn a blind eye on my friend who have been kind to me all this while. We used to be unconventional roommates. Though there was no obligations, he prepares warm meals for me on regular basis and asked how I was. When things gets tough, and I was faced in an ordeal, he was the first person to extend support without wanting anything in return. I was touched by his intention and generosity. He is definitely a rare gem in this industry and I'm honoured to have cross path with him. I hope he could rise from this and excel further. It would be a waste to just let go of his talent. Honestly he didn't commit any crime. All he did, was to live and love earnestly, like all of us do. I'm proud to say, Jin-hyung is my friend. Fighting!
Lovely,
Jimin"Hope-hyung. I'm sorry." His manager was still soundly sleeping. He looks back at the screen and was pleased seeing that his post went straight to trending news. There were still mixed comments but heck it. There's nothing they can do about it even if there were 100 positive anecdotes from staffs. That's how society works. Netizens thrives when there's controversy. Shortly after, there was non-stop buzzing sound. He took his phone and chuckled seeing the spams he received from his new 'friend'.
Text Message:
Jin: Hi! Hi!
Jin: Thank you... Friend? Hehe...
Jin: Why are you awake?
Jin: Btw fighting to you too!
Jimin: Now we're even.
Jin: What do you mean?
Jimin: I don't owe you anything anymore.
Jin: Lovely, Jimin-shi. You're truly lovely.
Jimin: Whatever.
Jin: Nights. Jiminie~Who would have known, he would receive help from his so-called rival. "What are you looking at Jinnie-ah?" Woobin came with a hot chocolate in hand. "Appa, is that for me?" He looks expectantly. Its as though he was being transported back to when he was a kid. Whenever he had to face an obstacle, his family would always make the hot chocolate to cheer him up and it works every single time. Its as though this hot chocolate has its own magic touch.
Seokjin hold the mug dearly, and slowly sipped the sinful chocolate drink. However, his peace was disrupted with Woobin's straightforwardness approach. "You love him?" Seeing how, Seokjin cough incessantly, Woobin just nod and make his own deduction. "I guess you do."
"Well. How can you not. I always know you have a thing for good looking bad boys." Seokjin gasped. Felt he was scandalized by his own father. "No. Appa! I don't have a type!" Seeing, Seokjin's flustered reaction, "Then tell me. What about Jungkook that you love about?"
Before Seokjin could even say, he was being cut off by the surprise visit from his mother, Shin Min Ah. "Hey, don't you boys dare to leave me out from this conversation! I want to know every single details Jinnie-ah. And yes, I do have to agree, you have a type Jinnie-ah. Admit it. Now spill."
"To make it clear. I don't have a type! And Jungkook... Well... he is not a bad boy. He is kind and a respectable person. I admired him. He is so resilience."
"Namjoon-ah! Can you believe it? He said he don't have a type!" Seokjin looks at the side, and felt this was jokes on him. Literally, seeing how his parents placed Namjoon on video-call when they starts to interrogate him. He didn't think much at first, so he explained to his family the whole situation. It was rather comical how they were invested as though it was some interesting k-drama. It was only towards the end, when he starts to panic. He remembered Jungkook stayed over and could've heard their conversation.
"Hyung! Is Jungkookie there?"
"Seriously? Jungkookie? You're down bad Jinnie-ah. How am I supposed to look at him now? Don't worry, he is locked up in room since like forever. Ugly crying and self-blaming himself. Honestly, I've never seen him this way. But you know what? That's not the main issue. Appa, Omma. The stupid Kim Clan is at it again. I think people are doing witch hunt on Jinnie and found out about Kim Clan. And our dear himbo cousin Jay, called Jinnie a leech. The audacity!!!"
"I know you're a rapper. But slow down, son. Don't worry about it. We don't need Kim Clan. We Kim Woo Bin stick together. I'll get our PR to prepare a press release."
"Appa, Omma, Hyung..." He can't find words. He clenched his lip. Today, he felt undeserving of his adoptive family kindness. No doubt he thank the higher almighty everyday to have brought him to this family.
"We're family, Jinnie-ah."
