Raejae's POV:

"I'm sorry, I just don't support it," Namjoon struggles to say as we all sit around a table with PD-Nim at the center.

"Yeah, I mean, it's just a small rumor. Plus, it would be a burden to have to pretend all the time," Jin agrees.

"All of this may be true but I think it might be great for publicity," PD-Nim explains with his hands open on the table.

I can't help but roll my eyes.

"Since when did we become the company that starts stuff just for publicity?" I question, everyone turning to me out of surprise. Usually I don't say much in these types of meetings.

"Well the competition is big in this industry and sometimes you need to take leaps to make it," PD-Nim looks at me.

"I don't think this type of thing is what we need to 'make it'. We already have a good following at this point and I'd rather be real with our fans anyway. I mean that's what we're about, we talk about real life issues that others won't," I explain thoughtfully.

"I agree," V holds his hand up.

"I'll definitely take your thoughts into consideration," PD-Nim replies with a nod, "but for now, I have scheduled a few acting classes for you and Jungkook to be able to make it believable,"

I let out a scoff, "you're kidding right?"

"RaeJae-Ssi, I'd highly appreciate it if you'd try to be a little more respectful," PD-Nim gives a stressed smile.

"Sorry," I say half heartedly, leaning back in my chair.

But for real, is he serious? Acting classes to be able to live a fake life in front of all of our fans? I see nothing positive coming out of this especially since this will only be lying to everyone. Even ourselves.

And also, who needs acting classes to fake a relationship? Clearly I don't understand.

Suddenly, someone pops their head into our meeting and calls PD-Nim out of the room. He ends our discussion with a few short words and I've never resented him more than this moment.

To me, He's always been a kind and genuine man but this contradicts everything. Why does he feel so strongly that this is even close to being a good idea?

I just don't see it.

To put it simply, Jungkook and I view each other as best friends, brother and sister even, and this scenario only makes me worry that our friendship could be put at stake.

"I'm so confused," J-Hope speaks up.

"Kookie, what do you think about this?" Namjoon asks curiously.

"I sort of understand the idea," He replies.

"I wonder why..." Jimin breaths out.

"What about you RaeJae?" Namjoon turns to me.

"I think we already know how she feels," Jin says with a light laugh.

I notice Jungkook frown slightly.

"Yah, it's not because I despise the idea of dating you it's just that I don't want to lie," I tell him, not wanting to offend him in anyway. I mean, obviously Jungkook is attractive but I just don't see him that way.

"Yoongi Hyung, you've been pretty quiet," Hobie says.

"I honestly don't have an opinion," Yoongi shrugs unsympathetically

I feel a slight pain in my chest at his comment, confusion falling over me. Before, he seemed pretty against the idea which almost made me feel, I don't know, secure? However now he doesn't even care?
