7 + 1 Talents ♪ KTH

Chapter 14 / Trust

It surprisingly didn't take the others that long to get ready. Before Yoongi came around the corner Taehyung retracted his arms and sat on the sofa in a safe distance, just in time.

The ride sure took it's time, since the indoor pool was pretty much on the other side of Seoul. On the way we took a quick stop at a sushi restaurant. I didn't feel like eating. Jins french toasts were just too good to be left over.

While the rest of BTS were munching their food I just sat there, looking out the window.

Suddenly a group of girls turned to the window I was sitting by and they suddenly had overly happy faces.

They ran towards the window and panic started to well up in me. I nudged Namjoon beside me who was stuffing himself with five sushi rolls at once.

"Joon, uh, I think we might are in trouble..." I pointed towards the hoard of teenage girls who were running in our direction. Only a second later they banged against the glass which was pretty much the only thing that seperated those crazy brats from us.

"What's the matter? It's just some fans."

I lifted both eyebrows in disbelieve. "Are you serious? Look at them! They are those kind of fans who would kidnap you so they can have you for their birthday party!"

He shrugged and turned back to his plate. "You'll get used to it. Besides, if something gets out of control we can easily call our security. I bet they just want an autograph or a selfie or something."

I looked over to the window, the girls gone. Instead, they ran into the restaurant just a few seconds later. I flinched at the loud squeeks and covered my ears with my hands.

Just as Namjoon said, they instantly asked for a selfie or something and all of the guys gave in. I staid silent the whole time, not wanting to interrupt them from meeting their idols.

I looked down when one of the girls came over to me, whispering in a low tone. "Aren't you the girl from the post?"

I looked up at her. I wasn't offficially announced as a member of BTS, so there weren't any social media posts of me. I didn't have Instagram or TikTok anyway.

"I'm sorry, you must confuse me with someone else. I don't have any social media accounts."

The short girl wouldn't let go. "Don't be silly noona, of course this is you!" She fished out her phone from her pocket and scrolled through it. A few seconds later she held that device in my face.

My eyes widened in pure shock when I realized what she was showing me. It was several pictures of me from the past few days.

I saw one where I went out of the practice room with Yoongi and Jimin. Then there was one of Tae and me when we came back from the store when we bought ice cream. But it wasn't nearly as shocking as the last one.

The last of those three pictures showed me sitting on the couch, Taehyung cuddled up next to me.

"I didn't know V had a girlfriend. Is that even allowed as an idol?" The girl said.

I couldn't talk. My voice died on me. She looked at me questioning. My mind suddenly cleared and I looked at her.

"It's not what it seems like! Those are completly out of context! Who even posted those?!"

She shrugged. "Some blank account, I don't know. But is it true? Are you guys dating?"

I nervously gazed over to the guys. They were still busy with the other teens to even hear our conversation.

I dragged the girl away from the table, now really panicing. "Of course it's not true! But why would anybody do something like that?!"

A nervewrecking thought suddenly fuzzed up my mind and I could feel goosebumps all over my body.

"Do you know if any people are blocked to see this?" She gave me a confused look and again gazed at her phone. "Uh yeah, as I can tell all of BTS are unallowed to watch this."

I let out an inaudible sigh of relief. At least they couldn't get mad.

But what about ARMY?

Cold shivers ran down my spine at the thought of people posting hate about Taehyung. I didn't care about me at that point, but what about him? I didn't want to be the reason if he got insults spat right at his face, nor weird fans sending him death threats just because they think we're in a relationship.

My breathe slightly started to hitch. I turned back to the girl who now was eyeing me with worry plastered on her face.

"What's your name?" I asked her.

She looked at me confused but eventually answered. "My name is Lee Iseul."

"Iseul", my voice wasn't more than a whisper. "You got to promise me to not tell BTS about that weird post. Please, I am begging you. Do your friends know about this?"

She slightly shook her head. "They don't. It just got uploaded this morning so I guess they still didn't see it on Instagram."

I inhaled deeply. "We really need to make sure the boys don't find out about it. It will just cause unwanted drama. Can I count on you Lee Iseul?"

She nodded. "But can I ask you something?"

"Sure."

"How are you related to them that you go out to eat with them like a casual person?"

I gave a slight smirk. "I won't tell you much, you will find out in a few weeks. But what I can tell you," I leaned in closer so only she could hear me, "I am related to Suga. He's actually my brother. That's why I know them in the first place."

She looked up at me in surprise. Didn't see that coming, hm?

"Woah, that's so cool! I didn't know he had a sister!" She sqeeked. I chuckled. "But really, please don't tell them. I'm afraid of any of them getting hate."

She encouragily nodded. "Of course noona, that sure makes sense. What's your name anyways?"

I smiled. "My name is Min Seoyeon, but don't post anything before we publicy say who I am."

"Okay, I won't, I promise!"

While the boys were still busy with taking selfies and signing random notebooks Iseul and I chatted a bit and ended up sharing our phone numbers so we could chat over the phone later. I think we became some kind of friends over the trust I needed to put in her.

We eventually returned to our table and Iseuls friends were finally done with fangirling so they left.

I sat back on my stool and looked at them. They looked a bit tired from all the fuzz about a simple selfie. I giggled to myself and watched them finish their food.

I gotta find out who posted this. I don't need any drama right now.
