The Golden Maknae

Hwarang (Spoilers.. you have been warned!)

"Roooooose! Time for breakfast!" 

I woke up and opened my eyes and then jumped off of the couch. "Where am I?" I kinda shouted, startled. 

I was immediately surrounded by 7 men, all reaching out to me and saying it was OK. 

Oh. It came to me quickly and I started apologizing profusely. 

"I'm sorry! I slept so hard I forgot for a moment." 

"Yeah, you were definitely sleeping hard." snorted Tae

"Oh? Was I snoring?" I flushed bright red. 

'It wasn't that loud." Jungkook said as he kicked Tae in the shin. Everyone started laughing. 

"We have food over here. I made a few things and there is fruit. We didn't know what you liked, or how much of an appetite you would have." Jin said. 

"I'm starving! I haven't eaten much this last week. I think now that it's all over my hunger is catching up." 

"Before we go out shopping..." Jungkook started before I interrupted him. 

"Can we do it tomorrow? I want to finish watching Hwarang." 

"Sure, but I still need to tell you something. Apparently, Bo slept in his car outside, all night."

I didn't know how to react to that. What was he thinking? How could he even think I would go back to him?

"Producer Bang is on his way over to meet you and will probably talk with him too."

"Okay." I got up and went to the bathroom, I didn't want to cry in front of them, and I had to make myself presentable as well. After a few minutes to compose myself I opened the door to go to Jungkook's room to get dressed. 

Jungkook was right on the other side of the door. 

"Are you OK?" 

"Yeah, I just needed a minute. I don't know why he would sleep out there. It makes no sense. Didn't I make it clear I wouldn't go with him?"

"You did, but I know I wouldn't give up so soon either. If I lost you." 

"Jungkook, with all that's happened, how can you want me? There are prettier girls, and girls with no drama too. Plus we barely just met."

"The first time I looked into your eyes, I fell for you. My heart deflated when I realized you were married. Then I looked again and I saw you. I knew something wasn't right. I don't know how I knew, but I KNEW. 

If I had been wrong I would have left you to be with him."

"I felt something too, but the fear was so great that I was just scared for you. He wanted to hurt you from that very first moment. Like he knew what was inside your head. Anyway, let me get dressed. I have only one clean outfit so maybe tomorrow I can borrow a shirt?"

"Psh, of course. Anything you need." He said and went out so I could change. 

When I came out Producer Bang was there. I took a deep breath and went to talk to him. 

"Hello, I am Rose. Thank you for getting extra security so the group was safe. Sorry to have created such a mess."

"You have done nothing wrong. I fired Bo and told him he wouldn't get any severance pay unless he left you alone. I believe he went home."

"Thank you so much. How can I repay you?"

"There is nothing to repay. We should have insisted long ago that he bring you to functions. We let him make excuses for too long. I am cutting his severance in half and giving it to you, to help you get on your feet and figure out what you want to do from here."

"That's so generous. I promise I will figure it out soon." 

He bowed and I bowed back, and then he went off to talk to RM privately. 

"We should make up some snacks and stuff so we can just binge the rest of your series Tae! I love it so much!" 

 12 hours later and at episode 16 we stopped for dinner.  This time a few of them went out to grab some take out. 

"I want her to pick Hyung-sik! She will, won't she? No. Don't tell me. This is sooo good. I hope we can stay up and finish it, how much is left?"

"Four more, we can finish it." Jungkook was laughing at me. I sat back and leaned into him. I felt so much more comfortable with him after sitting there for the last 12 hours. He put his hand out carefully for me to take, and I did. Thankful that he was not being pushy. I turned to Tae. 

"Your character is so cute. I bet you had a blast making this." 

"I did have a lot of fun. I made a lot of friends." 

"Yeah, and he ignored us the whole time!" Jungkook accused him.

Tae just burst out laughing. "You know you guys are my brothers, I chose you didn't I?"

"You chose?" I asked. 

"They ambushed me on a show and made me choose, it was just for fun though. They knew I would choose them."

 There was a knock on the door and I jumped up, startled. I guess the blood must have drained from my face because Jungkook was immediately concerned.

"It's Ok. It's not going to be Bo. He wouldn't be able to get in the building, I promise." he said and hugged me. 

"I'm so sorry Rose, I didn't mean to scare you. I called them over to meet you and watch with us." Tae said apologetically.

"Who?" I asked, feeling more steady. 

"From Hwarang."

"WHAT!!! Are you serious?" I started jumping up and down excitedly. 

Tae went to the door and in walked Park Hyung-sik, Park Seo-Joon, and Choi Minho!!! The fact that Minho was a Choi was not lost on me, but I knew there was no connection. I was floored!

Tae introduced them to me and started to introduce them but I interrupted him. 

"I know who THEY are! Hello! So awesome to meet you!" 

The rest of the group came back and we all sat down to share dinner together. I sat silent while we ate just listening to all of them. I was just dumbstruck that I was sitting here with so many famous people, eating dinner like it was just a normal day.

After eating we settled down to finish the last 4 episodes. When we got to episode 18 and Tae's character died I was full on ugly crying. 

"Why!!!!! Why did they do that! Ugh!!!! You should have killed his brother!" I yelled at Park Seo-Joon. 

They were all laughing at me, and I was just bawling my eyes out!

"Give me a minute." I ran to the bathroom, screamed and then washed my face. 

"Okay, I feel better. Let's do this." 

When it was over I was crying again. 

"This is the first show I have seen in almost 5 years and you pick this! Couldn't you have broken me in on something that wouldn't make me cry!"

"I have a new one you would like, you should watch it next." Said Park Hyung-Sik. 

"Mines better." Said Park Seo-Joon. 

We all looked at Minho. 

"Yeah, I have a couple too." 

We were all laughing again. After all that the guys dragged out more blankets and pillows for our guests and we started Strong Woman Bo Dong Soon.  They figured it was the funnier one and they owed me. 

I only made it through one episode before I had to beg off. Now that I was starting to move on the events were catching up to me and I knew I couldn't stay awake. It was late and they were all sleepy too so we turned off the TV and went to sleep.
