Secrets Exposed

Yoongi jolted awake to the sight of RM standing over him, his expression serious and urgent. “Yoongi, wake up! You need to see this,” RM said, his voice low and tense.

Yoongi rubbed his eyes, trying to shake off the remnants of sleep. “What’s going on, Namjoon?”

RM handed him his phone. “This video is going viral. It’s you and Maya at the cafe.”

Yoongi’s heart sank as he watched the video. It showed him and Maya in a cozy corner booth, laughing and talking. At one point, Yoongi playfully ruffled her hair, a moment of intimacy that was clearly captured by someone nearby. Although Yoongi was wearing a mask, his identity was unmistakable to those who knew him well.

“We need to address this,” RM said, his voice filled with concern. “Big Hit is already preparing a statement, but we need to be careful.”

Yoongi nodded, a sinking feeling in his chest. “I need to make sure Maya’s okay.”

Before Yoongi could act, the door burst open and Sejin, the top management executive from Big Hit, stormed in. His face was flushed with anger, and he held his phone up, showing the viral video again.

“Yoongi, what the hell is this?” Sejin demanded, his voice cold and cutting.

Yoongi stood up, trying to maintain his composure. “It was just a casual meeting with a friend, Sejin. We were careful, but someone recorded us.”

Sejin’s eyes narrowed, his frustration evident. “Do you have any idea how much damage this could cause? You’re jeopardizing everything we’ve built.”

“It was just a friend, Sejin,” Yoongi repeated, his voice steady but firm.

RM stepped forward, standing beside Yoongi. “We understand the gravity of the situation, but we’ll handle it together. Yoongi is committed to his work and the group.”

Sejin’s gaze flicked to RM, then back to Yoongi. “This is unacceptable. We can’t afford any more slip-ups. The statement will be issued, but you need to lay low and avoid any more scandals.”

The rest of BTS gathered around, showing their support for Yoongi. Jin spoke up, his voice calm but resolute. “We all stand by Yoongi. This was an innocent meeting blown out of proportion.”

Sejin glared at them, clearly unhappy with their unity. “Fine. But this better not happen again. We’ll be monitoring everything closely.”

As Sejin left, Yoongi let out a breath he hadn’t realized he was holding. “Thanks, guys. I appreciate it.”

RM nodded, placing a reassuring hand on Yoongi’s shoulder. “We’ve got your back. Now, let’s handle this.”

Yoongi turned to J-Hope. “Hobi, can you call Maya? Make sure she’s okay and let her know Joe will be there soon to get her to a safe place.”

Meanwhile, at Maya's apartment, she was awakened by the sound of shouting and the clattering of stones hitting her window. Groggy and confused, she got up and peered outside to see a small crowd gathered, some holding signs and others shouting angrily.

Heart pounding, she quickly reached for her phone and saw several missed calls from J-Hope. Just as she was about to call back, her phone rang.

“Hobi? What’s happening?” she asked, her voice trembling.

“Maya, are you safe?” J-Hope’s voice was filled with concern.

“I don’t know. There are people outside my building throwing stones and shouting,” she replied, her voice shaking with fear.
