A story in which Kim (Y/N) was sitting in a coffee shop one day and was scouted by a K-pop entertainment company employee. " Hello there my name is Kim Ara I work for a company called Big-Hit Entertainment, and we're looking for new talent to create...
TW: Mentions of domestic abuse suicide, and other sensitive topics
It was the day of filming our music video for I Need U, and we were all cramped in the car on our way to Dongho Bridge. The only person with their makeup done were Hobi and Taehyung since they were the only ones who had to film on the bridge. "How's writing the song going?" Jimin asked turning his head to look at me. I shrugged and pulled out my phone to show him what I had written. "I have a good portion of what a song could be written out so far but I'm not too confident in what I have," I replied handing him my phone so he could read over the lyrics.
So easily, with harsh words You put scars in my heart Without even saying sorry Again, I'm comforting myself Always nervous If you're gonna leave me I just want you to stay
In your expressionless face That's getting more and more dull I whisper to the mirror, Let's slowly let this go You take me for granted But that's you But still, stay stay stay with me
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
He kept nodding his head while reading over the lyrics. "This has the potential to make you even more famous than you already are (Y/N)," he commented while giving me my phone back. I scoffed in a joking manner. "Stop joking around, Jimin. I'm just not sure I like this too much," I explained while fiddling around with the buttons on my flannel. It felt like, for the first time in forever, I was wearing a simple outfit, but the only unfortunate part was the fact that I had to take off the necklace Jungkook gave me and replace it with a lock necklace.

Jimin took my hand in his and softly started rubbing it in a comforting manner like he did the day before. "Believe in yourself; you're an amazing person who can do and will do amazing things. Even if you are a little weird sometimes," he reassured, adding a bit of light humor at the end of his encouraging words, making me feel better. "Thank you, Jimin, I love you," I replied before taking my hand away from his to unbuckle my seatbelt since we had just arrived at the bridge. I got out of the car and went straight to where Nari was so that she could get started on doing my hair and makeup. While she was getting me ready, I could see Hobi preparing himself to fall and even practicing how to make it look real without hurting himself. The Bangtan TV cameraman turned away from Hobi and started walking towards Nari and me, meaning that I had to come up with some entertaining banter while they focused on me. I waved at the camera and smiled at the camera until the cameraman was standing right in front of me. "Nari is doing my makeup, but we're adding some bruises and some blood since I'm playing a character who is in an abusive relationship. This music video is full of acting and storytelling, so we have to work extra hard since we don't dance at all," I explained, giving some clarity on my character. "Tell them more about your story in the video," Nari prompted while adding some more bruises on my face, chest, arms, and legs. "It's a whole story told throughout the notes of the albums, so I can't say everything, but what I will say is that the lock necklace I have on here is meaningful, and you'll see why in the music video," I further explained adding a wink at the end of my sentence since I didn't give any more context then was already given. Nari rolled her eyes, making me laugh since she was just as oblivious to the lore of the album as the fans were without the full storyline we were going to put out. "Please support this album; I hope you enjoy it as much as I do, and I love you all!" I excitedly exclaimed, putting up a finger heart, trying to act more idol-like. The cameraman walked away, leaving Nari and me alone while we waited for Hobi and Taehyung to be done filming their parts. "Have you made any progress with accepting your feelings for Jungkook?" she questioned while running a brush through my hair, trying to tame it. "No, because even if I did accept it, we can't be anything more than friends," I replied, not even wanting to accept the fact that I did like him. "Maybe not right now, but mark my words, you two are meant for each other," she commented, making me feel a bit of hope that maybe someday we could be something more than friends. "Not gonna happen unnie," was all I could say before the director said it was time to move on to the next location which was where Jungkook, Taehyung, and I were going to be filming some scenes.
Once we got to the tall apartment building, the three of us ran up to the top, trying to see who could get there first. Jungkook beat me by just a millisecond, but in my opinion, I thought I won. "Okay, children, enough time to get serious and get this video filmed," the director commented while waiting for all the cameras to be set up. "I want to film (Y/N)'s scenes first, all I want you to do for now is sit down against this wall and look at your bruises, look frustrated but sad, and hold the locket. Extra points if you can cry," he explained, ending his sentence with a light-hearted smile, almost as if he was joking, but I was going to do it. "Action!" he shouted, cueing me to start brushing my fingers over the fake bruises painted all over my body. I started thinking about everything going on without even realizing it: the hate I was getting for being in BTS, my mom and how she was only getting worse by the day, and the fact that she could leave me any day. I could feel the hot tears rolling down my face, followed by quiet sobs. I was no longer acting; I was crying. "The locket!" I heard the director shout, making me remember I was supposed to be acting. I brought my hand up to the lock dangling on the gold chain and wrapped my fingers around it, balling up my fist around it. "Cut!" as soon as that word left the director's mouth, Jungkook rushed over to where I was sitting and cupped my cheeks in his hands. "What's wrong?" he asked in a gentle and quiet tone. "Nothing, I'm just acting," I replied in between sniffles, trying to play it off as me just being a good actress. "Jungkook, you next!" the director shouted, making it so that Jungkook couldn't ask any further questions. I stood up from the floor, wiping off the dirt from my clothes, and walked over to where Nari was so that she could fix my makeup since I had just been crying.
Soon, once the boys were done filming their solo parts in the apartment building we got back in the car and went to the next and last filming sight for the night. It was under a bridge and was adorned to look like a hang-out spot with an old couch and a broken piano. "I just want you all to sit around the fire and look like you're having fun," was the only instruction we got before we started filming once again.
