I also come with good news. I took the last couple of weeks to plan out exactly where the story is headed. Meaning faster updates!! I always had a general direction but never actually jotted it down since I barely had time to even write. So I took this time to take care of that so I can pick up the pace a bit! :) 

I really hope you've been enjoying the story and I can read y'all's thoughts about it. 

I'll shut u and let you get to it.

See you in the next one!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Hello all. Firstly, I would like to thank everyone for being here today. I also would like to thank my team for their unmatched devotion and effort to make this happen so quickly and efficiently.

To all who have unanswered questions until now, I thank you for your patience and understanding. I thought it best to move forward with this press conference in order to avoid any confusion and misunderstandings regarding myself and the person involved in this matter.

In the past couple of weeks, since the photograph of me and that person surfaced and started circulating online, countless baseless rumors have arisen that I would like to put to rest once and for all.

That person is a friend of mine from before my fame. He does not work in the industry and does not wish to either, so I would wish for this situation to not disrupt his daily life. I would like it to be known that none of the rumors going around hold any truth to them. What you see in the photograph is only a couple of old friends spending some time together at the amusement park. There is nothing more to it.

Although I have been in the public eye for some time, I often wish to go out and enjoy a day out with a friend like any of you respected journalists here. I have learned to navigate life with fame. I have faced and accepted all the challenges that come with this path I have chosen for myself, but the other party that is involved did not chose this. I would appreciate it greatly if you could respect that person's privacy.

If there are any questi-

The screen of the phone in Dr. Han's hands went black.

There was a moment of heavy silence before Taehyung spoke up.

"This should suffice Dr. Han." – He declares with conviction.

The doctor's face gave nothing away as he looked into his patient's eyes and declared – "I don't think it will. They have a picture of him, and just because you asked them to respect his privacy doesn't mean they will not try to find out who he is. The people are still curious, that means there's money to be made by finding him and exposing him."

"That's only because they think something's going on between us. As soon as they find out that's not true they'll back off. This isn't my first tango with them Dr. Han." – Taehyung stresses.

"How do you suppose you'll be able to convince them there's no story to be found here?" – The doctor pushes, his worry painfully evident in his voice. This whole fiasco could end his career and that leaves no room for him to be easygoing with the man.

"In a matter of few days a scandal of me being in a relationship will break out. That will shift the entire focus from Jungkook to finding out who my rumored lover is. And just for good measure there will be photos of me with a woman looking secretive and shady in several different places. I can promise you that I will make this whole situation go away. Soon nobody will remember this ever happened." – Taehyung explained hurriedly.

Dr. Han took a moment to respond. "Why are you doing this? Why go to these great lengths, to further disrupt your own peace, just to appease me?"

"Because I cannot accept a reality in which a man has to lose everything he's worked hard for for helping me, for going out of his way to make sure I can get my life together-"

"See, you do not understand. That is not why he was put in this situation. There s much more to it, much more that you do not know." – The doctor interrupts.

"That's where you're wrong. I know exactly why this is happening. When you called Jungkook that day to deliver him the news, he was with Taetae. He called me out to let me know what had happened. He apologized and disappeared. I did not hear back from him afterwards. No matter how many times I called, he didn't answer, until a couple of days later when he picked up my call sobbing, only to let me know that he couldn't see me for now, that he will not be coming in to the clinic either and that I should resume my sessions with you." – Taehyung's eyes turned darker as though it wasn't him at all, as though it was his other version, the version called V. But the doctor knew V wouldn't be so composed, it couldn't be V. "And that doesn't sit well with me." – Taehyung's lip curls as he sneers at the doctor.

The doctor asks, taken aback by Taehyung's body language. This behavior was unprecedented, at least when it came to the tolerant, lenient and kind-natured Taehyung he's come to know during their meetings. "Taetae called you out? As in you were in direct communication with him?"

Taehyung now smirks before taunting the doctor further .

"Ah there you go, see? You're catching on old man."

The doctor's eyes widen and he seems to come to understanding as he says – "Old ma-? V? Are you V?"

"Ding, ding, ding! Seems like those diplomas are not wasted on you. Be proud doc!" – V says with a diabolical glint in his eyes.

"No, no. No, I am certain I was talking with Taehyung." – The man stresses on the fact. "You can't be V."

"And yet I am."

"Since when? Since when was it you?" – The doctor can't help but ask as he finds himself replaying the conversation in his head.

"Since four sentences ago."

Four sentences ago?

"Don't hurt yourself with all that thinking old man. I'll help you out." – V snickers. "The last thing Taehyung told you was that he was to resume his sessions with you."

But of course, the doctor thought, Taehyung would never have told him something didn't sit well with him, fearful, pliant Taehyung would never have sneered at him. He should have known. But how could he have? There was no hyperventilation, no panic, none of the usual behaviors. The transition was so smooth he noticed nothing. It was though there was no transition at all. How? Wait. Could it be?

"Go ahead, old man. Ask the question. Ask me the right question." – V nudges the man into the right direction.

"Are you two coconscious?"
