Nandini


I didn't realize when I fell asleep last night.

Checking the time on my phone, I frowned slightly.

It's 7 am.

Isn't he back yet?

I shook my head to brush off the thoughts of him and went to get freshen up.

But I was still feeling a bit uncomfortable.

Something felt off about him last night.

Shouldn't I text him?



I was about to open our chat when a photo from my notification bar caught my attention.

It was from X.

When my gaze dropped on the caption, nervousness and fear gripped my heart in a blink.

"BTS Jimin was seen with a girl near Gyeonggi."

Is this what he was talking about?

And he didn't...

He didn't tell me yet!? Am I not equally responsible?

As I clicked in the post and scrolled through my X account...I realized how far it has gone in just a few hours.

Reposts, shares, comments...

It's full of mixed emotions.

Some are disappointed, some are saying it's a fake photo, and some are urging other fans to respect his privacy.

My fingers trembled slightly as I opened our chat and texted him

-"Hey, aren't you back yet?"

I took a deep breath to keep myself calm and kept my phone down.

As I spilled the cold water on my face and looked at my reflection in the mirror, I realized how much important my role is here.

This...can turn into anything.

And the antis might tell him to leave the group too.

The media is no less.

I took a few more deep breaths as I wiped my face with the towel and walked out of the bathroom.

The notification bell rang off.

-"No, not yet."

I don't like this guy.

Why'd he keep it all to himself!? He thinks he can handle everything alone?!

I sighed, my eyebrows furrowed in concern and annoyance.

What should I do now?

I don't even know anyone else whom I could contact.




Wait...

I can ask Chaein...

Right.

I quickly sent a text to Chaein.

-"Hey, I needed some help."

8:07 am.

After paying the cab driver, I stepped into the Hybe office.

I took a deep breath, steeling myself for all the hassle that's about to come.

My heart rate quickened slightly as I saw a small crowd around the reception desk. Probably journalists are already here to dive in.

No no
