"Joon's Dia"

(Chapter 51: The 8th Member Pt.1)

Finally we were in LA and from the moment the other members heard Younha was going to perform with them instead of me, they complained.

.

"What the fuck?" Tae exclaimed, "I thought you were going to do it with us."

.

Jimin was a little calmer, "Namjoon, is it really true?"

.

He nodded, "Apparently so."

.

Then I added in, "We decided to let the fans choose who sounded better," and I went on to explain what we were going to do.

.

"Aahh... That's smart but wouldn't Younha feel badly?" Hobi was such a sweetie and a softie too.

.

I agreed, "Yes so the plan is if the fans preferred my performance, I'll do 'Boy with Luv' with you guys and RM will do the new song with Younha during his solo segment."

.

"Ohhhh that's also smart and considerate," Hobi agreed.

.

Then Yoongi came up to me and whispered, "That was very thoughtful of you but be careful."

.

I turned to him and asked softly, "Whatever do you mean?"

.

Then he went to explain his concerns, "If the staff realises you're having such a major impact on RM's decision making, it will go to the top. The CEO isn't going to like that we're deviating from the schedule all because of you. Remember, this already happened back in Brazil for RM's solo concerts. You guys are perfect for each other but don't make too much of an obvious change in his professional life. Do you understand?"

.

I nodded. It was a hard pill to swallow but I understood. I wasn't going to be in his life permanently in any case so I should back-up on giving him suggestions that would threaten his livelihood too. I was thinking more like a teacher who was settling problems in her classroom but this was world-wide and doing things like this could jeopardise Namjoon's credibility and his name.

.

I looked over at Joon and he was smiling and laughing with the guys. Yoongi's words of advice was heart-breaking but truthful. Joon looked at me and his face softened with such a sweet smile. He was very much smitten by me and I blushed at him. Then Yoongi added,

.

"Hmm... You've definitely changed him. See, he isn't boiling over with jealously seeing us talking so quietly."

.

"That's because he trusts me and you should too," I added and looked at him. He looked at me perplexed and I explained, "I love him and I won't do anything to harm him but I won't let anyone use him in any diabolical plan to get to him either. Maybe you should be looking at his assistant more instead of looking at me."

.

Yoongi was stunned, "Is something going on with T?"

.

"I believe so but all I have are her accusations and prejudices against me," I was getting heated but I tried to calm down. Yoongi was getting me upset.

.

"But she was the one who found you and brought you to him. Why would she have anything against you?"
