Chapter 42

"Wake up (N/N), we need some pictures with your eyes open," I heard a familiar voice whisper, making me slightly wake up from my deep slumber. I slowly sat up and rubbed my eyes, trying to wake myself up. "Sit with your back on Taehyungs, and just close your eyes," the photographer instructed, to which I did and sat up withyungs. We took a few photos in that pose, occasionally opening our eyes and looking at the camera. "Now, I want you to lay back down (Y/N) in the middle and both of you on either side of her," he instructed while gesturing at Jungkook to lay down next to me with Taehyung on the other side. The sound of the camera clicking started filling the room, along with the sounds of feet shuffling around the room and the soft voices of staff helping the other boys get into their positions for the photoshoot. I could feel my eyes slowly shutting again, the lack of sleep and being overworked was finally starting to get to me. "Open your eyes (Y/N), we're almost done I just need a few more pictures," I shifted around, readjusting myself so I was lying on my stomach and looking up at the camera. After a couple more minutes of taking pictures, the photographer got enough of us and moved on to Namjoon who was now taking his pictures which meant I could go back to sleep. 

I woke up to the sounds of rummaging and chaos filling the room, waking me from my slumber. I slowly sat up and ran my fingers through my hair, trying to tame it. "Let's go, unnie. I'll get you ready in the car; just put this on," Nari instructed while handing me a pile of clothes. I walked into the bathroom and locked the door behind me. I put on the white corset top adorned with red flowers that Nari gave me along with the matching skirt and white heels. 

I left the bathroom and started walking to the van, where Nari was already waiting for me. "Get in and sit down, I need you to help me today and do your hair," she commented while handing me a hairbrush and ties. I sat there for a couple of seconds, dumbfounded that she wanted me to do my hair. I ran the brush through my hair, trying to get the knots out of my hair before braiding it and moving to rest on my shoulder. 

Nari powdered makeup during the majority of the car ride, leaving me with a full face of natural-looking makeup.  Once we got to the location, we got out of the car and started the walk down a hill to where we were going to be taking the pictures. Taehyung caught up to me, followed by the Bangtan TV camera, and started talking. "(Y/N) seems to be struggling walking in her heels," he commented while gesturing to me, trying my best to hobble my way down the hill without falling. I let out a laugh before letting out a gasp when he picked me up bridal style in his arms. "Since I'm a good friend I'm going to help her. You can pay me back later," he said while walking down the hill. When we got to the bottom of the hill the photographer started taking pictures of Jin first since he wanted to go in order of age which meant that I was able to get some free time while the other members took pictures. I sat down on a blanket that we had sprawled out on the grass, pulling out my phone and opening the notes app. It felt like I was going through a mental block. I couldn't find the right words to put my thoughts into song lyrics. I wanted to talk about my youth and how I could feel it slipping away from me, but I also wanted to talk about something my fans might find relatable. I was snapped out of my thoughts by the blanket shifting under me. "You look like you're deep in thought," Jimin stated, making me playfully roll my eyes. "I'm trying to write another song for the album I'm working on, but I can't think of anything," I replied, throwing my hands up in a frustrated manner and dropping my phone in my lap in the process. Jimin moved to sit in front of me and took my hands in his, gently rubbing the top of my hands with his thumbs. "What's been on your mind lately?" he questioned, not breaking eye contact. I shrugged my shoulders, feeling slightly frustrated since I was getting no help from this. "Just trust me," he whispered while slightly squeezing my hands. "I guess how I miss Taehyung and how I wish I never broke up with him," I replied in a hushed tone, feeling slightly ashamed for admitting that. His gaze softened but in a way that felt sad, "You wanted him to stay?" he questioned. I nodded my head slowly, finally realizing that I regretted ever ending the relationship. "Write about that, write about how sad Melody resembles him," he handed me my phone with a small smile on his face, looking proud of himself, and scooted to sit next to me instead of in front of me. I started by writing out random words that could only describe how I felt. Eventually, we got a small portion of the song written out, it was far from done but thanks to Jimin I had at least gotten a song started. 

This sad melody resembles you
It makes me cry eh eh
Your scent is a sweet felony
I hate you so much but I love you

I looked up from my phone and turned it so Jimin could read the small amount of lyrics I had written out. "You hate him?" he questioned, slightly confused by my use of the word hate. "No, I love him. He's my bandmate, and we've grown closer since I joined the group, but I just couldn't think of another word, plus, this song isn't about Taehyung. It's meant to be about the feelings that come with being in a relationship that's slowly crumbling apart," I explained to him, giving him some clarity on my choice of words. He only nodded and rested his head on my shoulder, looking down at my phone as I kept typing away on my phone, writing down new lyrics. "Don't move! Stay right how you are and put the phone down," I heard the familiar voice of our photographer for this album shout towards Jimin and me. I put my phone down behind my back, trying my best not to move an inch more than needed. "Perfect, now Jimin, look up at (Y/N), and (Y/N) look at the camera," he instructed now in a normal tone instead of franticly shouting at us. He snapped a few pictures of us, occasionally making us chance poses around on the blanket. "Perfect, now (Y/N), can I have you lay on your back and Nari hold these around her," he instructed while handing Nari branches with flowers on them. 

The sound of cameras clicking filled my ears and continued to be the only sound heard until the photographer had enough pictures of me. He moved on to take pictures of the other members while I got my makeup touched up by Nari. "This new album is very different. I think this is my favorite album so far, but that's all I can say," I explained to the Bangtan TV camera that was filming me getting my makeup re-done. "Of course, you'd like this album the most," Jungkook said in a joking tone. I rolled my eyes playfully and scoffed at his words. "She wrote a song for the album, of course, she's going to think this is the best album," he commented, adding to his teasing words. "She wrote an exceptional song, though," Nari said, coming to my defense. "She did, I think that my favorite song on this album is the one she wrote," he commented to the camera while wrapping an arm around my shoulders. I was having so much fun these past few days I had forgotten the conditions Bang PD has set for us.
