The Way We Speak Through Music

Chapter 27

No requests? Weird, usually I'd have thousands of them each day. Maybe something's wrong with my e-mail, I should ask Taeyong. Good thing Ai is on a holiday so the chances of meeting her are non-existent. Most of the staff is on a holiday, which means my stroll through the hallway on Taeyong's floor will be peaceful and without encounters. I knocked and let myself in

"Y/N, good thing you're here", he gestured me to come closer and look at the article displayed on the screen. Few casual questions coming from a reporter, basic celebrity's answers, nothing caught my attention until I saw my name mentioned. I read the entire thing a few times when my jaw dropped in shock and I looked at amused Taeyong

"How...", since I was left speechless he took the responsibility of reading it out loud to assure me it's not just my imagination 

"We work with multi-talented artists and ambitious trainees to help them grow into award-winning high quality artists, their influence and music will be timeless. That part is honestly kind of bullshit, anyhow, moving on. Even so, there's one young brain behind the most important process of creating music for our artists' albums and singles. While they do take a part and shouldn't be by any means discredited neither should that fresh breeze in music industry. We received a positive feedback from our lovely fanbase, and we're so grateful to have the opportunity of treasuring such a musical gem. Soon enough she will make her first public appearance and statement"

"Who's behind this?"

"Take a wild guess"

"It's Ai, isn't it"

"I have no idea why she would say this. I do agree that you're a gem but still, we made a deal to respect your privacy and wish to work in secrecy"

"She should publicly apologize"

"That's overdramatic"

"Taeyong, she will do something like this again if you let it slip by"

"At least she didn't trash talk you"

"No, but she made other people do it instead, and I think it caused the lack of requests I got today"

"I'm sorry, we depend too much on her"

"I bet she's the one who made that mess in my office..."

"Now that's exaggerating"

"Is it? Taeyong, she literally cut my arm on the hallway!"

"Y/N, that's impossible. She's the one who told me to bring you here in the first place"

"What?!" 

Yoongi's POV

Apparently, years of friendship and hard work went unnoticed and the only reason I debuted with BTS is because they bribed me to get attention. Bribed me? Jungkook and I literally had to starve because we saved money for more important things. Everyone struggled one way or another, but imagine the audacity to say something like that

"We'll prove them wrong", we turned to Namjoon, no one dared to say a thing and we sat like that in silence

"What the..."

"What's wrong, Jungkook?"

"I... I don't want to show you this", he hesitated but decided to hand over his phone when Namjoon insisted. What a coincidence that the two of us read it at the same time. We're the least liked group members. That's not all, posts about us leaving BTS are everywhere. Nothing came out of our discussion, we almost had a fight. Thankfully Namjoon is a great leader and we could head home without calling each other names. I almost passed by my own house, so called fans saying I should leave and give up occupied my mind more than I should've let them. Am I really that bad?
