M.A.D.E

Episode 4

*knock knock*

It was past midnight when someone knocked on Listel's bedroom door. She was still up writing in her journal.

'come in' she called out and Yoongi opened the door.

'I saw your light was still on. Got a minute? ' he stood politely by the door waiting for her to allow him to enter.

'sure, go ahead' Yoongi walked in closing the door behind him before taking a seat on the edge of the bed in front of Listel since there was no other chairs in the room.

'I wanted to talk to you about tonight'

'oh, listen, I'm so sorry about that. I didn't mean to make them uncomfortable or start any rumors. ' Listel started apologizing, yoongi was confused for a second until he realized she was talking about Taekook.

'no that's not what I wanted to talk about. ' he cut her off.

'it's not?'

'you don't know us, do you? I mean BTS' Yoongi nodded when she gave an apologetic smile before adding 'it's ok. Since you don't know us, you don't know what kind of people we are. You might think that we're objectifying women by participating in such a show, or that we're just trying to make people laugh by embarrassing you.'

'well, I did used to watch MADE back in its first seasons and I can't say I agree with its message. I'm only doing this because my friend went to huge lengths for it and she apparently loves you guys so much'

'thank you for being honest and that's why I'm here on behalf of the other members and I'm gonna be honest too. The conditions we had with MTV to host this season is to have full control over the missions, they are not allowed to go through with a mission unless our company agrees with it, so I promise you nothing over the top will take place. We're trying to run this show as part of our UNICEF project of ending violence and loving oneself. People who'll watch this show to see you learn about love, we want them to learn and you as well how loving oneself is the most important love. Our goal is not for you to end this month with a boyfriend, now that we know a little more about you, we want you to love yourself more and to learn how it feels to have a family that loves you and what a family should be like. Now if you don't agree to this, and if you perhaps want to stop this and leave, I and the other members will personally talk to the MTV staff and fix everything. '

As Yoongi spoke, Listel watched his hands move and heard his lazy low voice form each word carefully while looking at her.

'thank you, but as I said, I'm doing this for my friend and if I quit now she'll kill me. I... I appreciate your concern, you don't have to worry about me I can handle it. You guys are either really good guys or just so damn well at keeping your image 24/7'

'I'd like to think of us as good guys' Yoongi laughs lightly before straightening his back and looking at the clock on Listel's desk confirming it was past 1am, which meant the cameras were off.

'so for tomorrow, we're going for a picnic and we'll be asking you to wear the outfit you chose and get phone numbers from total strangers. Are you OK with that? '

'sure, as I said, I have no problem talking to strangers. I approach strangers while traveling all the time' Listel clarified as yoongi nodded.

'yeah, that's the thing. I need to ask you for a favor. Can you make it look like it's not easy?' yoongi asked watching her face attentively for any negative reaction.

'you want me to pretend to have difficulties talking to strangers? ' Listel asks cautiously.

'as I said we're also trying to help people watching the show. Most of them are girls who thinks it's the end of the world to approach a guy and flirt. What you did tonight was amazing and smart but I'm afraid it'll make those girls feel horrible about themselves. Instead of giving them courage it'll make them feel like there's something wrong with them.' Yoongi explaining growing nervous when Listel sat in silence for a long time.
