A Man Always Knows

Chapter 7

Getting through the first two months of Yoongi being gone on tour was difficult, we would skype, text and call each other everyday but it still wasn't enough. I worked hard in my classes and rented out the spare room to a girl from Australia who was attending Konkuk University for a semester, her name is Bre and she's a Nursing student from Melbourne. Bre would join me at dance practice from time to time to work on her Korean with the boys, she also was the only thing protecting me from Jiyong. Bre was a blessing and my new best friend, we did everything together! She even ended up dating one of the boys from our dance group.

We ended up winning the final round in the dance competition and earned a 20 minute set at the 2017 MAMA's. The boys and I were stoked cause we had worked so painstakingly to get this far, I was more excited that I would get to see Yoongi at the awards show. I haven't been able to smell his hair or skin in two months! I really needed to hold him it was becoming imperative, mostly so I don't fuck up again and end up back in Jiyong's arms. Luckily I had Bre and Brian keeping me in check, both of them knew about the issue and made sure to keep Jiyong at a safe distance from me if he was around for the practices. I swear, the man has inserted a tracking device into me. He seems to always know when I'm at the YG studio with the boys practicing cause he always makes and appearance to see what we're working on and on occasion Taeyang will join him.

We were working on our 30 minute set line up when Jiyong and Taeyang walked in the room:

"Hey guys!", Brian said excitedly. "What brings you here?"

"We're just seeing how things are going," Jiyong said. "How's the line up coming along?"

"Things are falling into place," Brian responded. "We'll start the choreography soon."

I could see that Brian was feeling a little uneasy he was also babbling which meant he was uncomfortable.

"Hyung," MinYoung jumped in. "We need to get started. Nuna is ready."

"OK," Brian said. "I'll be over in a minute." "We need to start practice now. You can show yourselves out."

With that, Brian shot a nasty look at Jiyong before turning about face and walking over to join the group. Although Jiyong hung back for a while to watch us, we continued like he wasn't there until he finally got up and left.

"What a creep," DongJae said. "Why does he hang around us so much?"

"Yeah, he stares at MinHye a lot," Andrew said. "It makes me uncomfortable."

"Doesn't he know you're dating Yoongi, nuna?", asked MinYoung.

"Yes," I said. "He knows and he doesn't care." I walked over and grabbed my bags to leave and head home. "I'll see you guys tomorrow. Good practice."

As I walked down the hall I could feel someone watching me; I continued down a narrow corridor and down the stairs. Right as I walked out the door someone grabbed my arm and pulled me to the side. I was about to them in the face when I saw it was Taeyang.

"What are you doing?!" I yelled. "I was about to punch you! Don't do that!"

"I'm sorry," he giggled. "Didn't mean to frighten you. Are you OK? You look so angry."

"I thought you were someone else," I said. "I'm...kind of avoiding someone right now."

"That someone doesn't happen to be Jiyong, does it?", he asked.

"That's exactly who I am avoiding." I said staring down at my feet. "He's making me uncomfortable. I don't know what to do about it. He's giving me a place to live and also stalking me. I feel like he's always watching me."
