Two hours later,

The whole room was dark as they were watching movie. The only light was coming from the Television. Moon realised everyone except her was asleep. Moon sat there in silence for a while. Then she turned off the tv, cleaned the space, washed the dishes. She held one by one and secured them in their bed in their own room. Yunhee was the last one whom she carried and tucked on the bed. By the time, she became really tired carrying all of them. After tucking Yunhee in her bed, she accidentally stumbled causing a photo frame almost falling from her table but she somehow caught it.

Moon sighed and got up to put the frame back in its place when suddenly her eyes stuck on the photo. It was a picture of Yoongi and Yunhee with some unfamiliar faces. She could recognise one as Yoongi's brother. The rest of them, she didn’t know or didn’t care to know. Her eyes stuck on Yoongi and Yunhee who were close with each other, smiling together fondly, happy with each other. She looked at the picture once and then at the sleeping figure of Yunhee. Giving a last glance at the photo, she put the frame back in its place and left the room.

She went to balcony and sat in the swing there. The jealousy and insecurities in her started to bloom again. All the evil emotions started to grasp her mind again. Why her? Why Yunhee and not? She started to question herself. Cold breeze started to blow past her. But she was feeling even colder than the breeze was. She didn’t realise when tears started to flow down from her eyes.

"Yaa...Kim Sun-hi, I am calling you for like 10 minutes. Where are you lost?" Miyeon smacked on Sun-hi's head while scolding her for not listening to her.

"Yaaa...." Sun-hi scrowled back at her adjusting her hair.

"Omo....I thought you were studying but here you were thirsting over some boys." Miyeon teased.

"They are not some boys." Sun-hi said.

"They are girls?" Miyeon asked.

"Yaa....LEE MIYEON. I meant they are not any boys. They are idols. Bangtan sonyendan. Arasso?" Sun-hi yelled.

"Okay...okay. Relax, geez." Miyeon calmed her down.

Sun-hi started to apprise her to the seven guys. Names, age, hometown all the details. While she was talking about them, her eyes were sparkling.

"Arasso. But why are they wearing eye-liner?" Miyeon laughed only to get a huge glare from her best friend.

"Mianhae......mianhae." Miyeon immediately apologised. "Who's this guy with orange fur.....I mean hair?" Miyeon asked as one of them attracted her. But she asked casually so that Sun-hi don't get any ideas.

"This is Suga aka Min Yoongi. Rapper, composer and future producer. I just told you earlier. You didn’t listen to me? Ya....Lee Miyeon." Sun-hi yelled.

"I- I listened but forgot. I ain't brilliant like our dear Sun-hi, am I? So, are they famous?" Miyeon asked.

Sun-hi smiled. "Not yet that much. But soon they will be."

"How do you know that?" Miyeon teased.

"I just know." Sun-hi said with determination and sparkling eyes. "I hope I can work with them someday." she manifested.

Miyeon looked at Sun-hi and the photo card she was holding. She wanted best for her bestie. Also something else caught her attention. The guys with orrange or brown fur, I mean hair, Sugar.

"Eonnie.........eonnie." A voice disturbed Moon's sleep. She slowly opened her eyes and found Yerin and Bora waving at her. She stared at them confusingly.

"Eonnie.....why are you sleeping outside?" Bora asked being concerned.

"You could've sleep in any of our room. Wasn’t balcony cold? You didn’t take blanket with you also." Yerin said.

Moon looked here and there and realised she fell asleep sitting there only. "Ooh, I was sitting here and don't know when fall asleep."

"Nevermind. Haejin eonnie made breakfast for us. Get up and freshen up. Then come to eat breakfast." Bora said and Moon nod.

Time skips,

Moon deliberately left for company late comparing to others, covered fully with mask and long jacket. She got inside of the company. For a while, the guard couldn’t recognise her until she pull down her mask a little. She was waiting for elevator. An elevator was empty. She was about to enter that elevator when she felt someone else entering the elevator passing her. She stopped and turned around. 

"Excuse me? Are you not entering?" A deep voice called her out. Her heart immediately started beating faster. She pulled her mask even more up. Only if that person knew how much red her cheeks became.

She sighed in relief as she heard the elevator door closing. But we don't get what we want, do we?

"Yoongi hyung, stop the lift." Hoseok came running and the elevator door opened again shattering her hopes. She prayed so that Hoseok wouldn’t recognise her. But to her misfortune.....

"Moon?" Hoseok asked stopping beside her. Yoongi held the elevator for them while tilting his head to see Moon. "Come on. Get on. Why are you standing in this corner?" Hoseok asked.

"Ne, sunbae-nim." Moon bowed and got inside the elevator as well as Hoseok.

"When did you come back?" Hoseok asked as they clicked the floor button wherever their destination was.

"Last evening." Moon said in low tone lowering her eyes. It was a gesture of respect as well as unable to look at them specially Yoongi. Yoongi was using this opportunity really well. He was stealing glances time to time.

"You are low-key looking like batman wearing mask and long jacket." Hoseok laughed. A sunshine laughter like the way he was.

Moon admired him for that. Her mind went to the memory lane when Sun-hi used to be crazy over this sunshine.

"Yeah right. But we should maintain safety. Who knows when people started throwing pebbles at me? Even though, haters gonna hate and slayers gonna slay. But I don’t want another nana to be sacrificed." she said the last line in a low tone.

Yoongi wanted to hold her while Hoseok gave a empathy look.

"But whatever, I will write a diss track before that for sure." Moon said and got out of the elevator as she reached her floor. The elevator door closed again.

"Hyung, your choice is so bold like you." Hoseok teased. Hoseok knew about Yoongi liking Moon and Yunhee being his cousin. But only Hoseok knew that. He decided he would tell others when something right happen between them.

Yoongi didn’t reply but looked aside blushing and being proud of his would be 'jagiya'.



Meanwhile, Moon's heart was still beating faster like anything. She removed her jacket and mask before entering their dance room for the rehearsal for their upcoming concerts.

"Eonnie.....are you okay? Do you have a fever?" Soul checked her forehead. "You don't have fever."

"Ya...what happened? I don’t have fever." Moon said.

"You are red like tomato. Your cheeks especially. Look...." Bora said showing front camera of her phone.

"It's....It's because of my hotness. I am so hot you know." She said trying her best not to blush anymore.

Yunhee bit her lips trying not to let the chuckle out of her mouth which she was holding for a while as she understood the thing.

"Okay girls. Let's practice." one of the staff member reminded them and they got into their positions.
