(Namjoon-BTS) Please Stay With Me

Chapter Six

"Sir, what's Bang SiHyuk-PD-Nim doing here?"
"Good question, Miss Kim. Everyone please take a seat." My manager gestured to the couches set up in front of his glass desk. I sit down in between Jungkook and Namjoon, feeling comfort at the sensation of the warmth of my boyfriend sitting next to me. I feel my heart pounding in my chest, and Jungkook somehow can tell I'm scared.
"Don't be scared, (Y/N)-ssi. We're all here. I'm here." He blushes and holds my hand, patting it with his other. I lean over and put my head on his shoulder.
"Jagi..." I hear Namjoon hiss next to me, and he holds my other hand. I smile and blush, but am shaken back to reality when I feel a sharp gaze on me from across the desk.
The CEO is looking at me with the most icy cold gaze I've ever seen. If people could be frozen alive with one look, I and everyone else on this couch would be living in a new ice age. I feel petrified, as if I'm being slowly turned to stone. My eyes are wide, I'm sure of it, and all of a sudden I'm hyper-aware of Namjoon's hand still clasping mine, but I don't pull my hand out of his grip. I haven't been this scared since the day I almost drowned at the water park when I was little.
"Y/N... it had been brought to my attention that you are in a new relationship. With Namjoon. Care to explain?" The CEO wastes no time. How in the hell...? How did he know??
Luna walks into the room, another male assistant at her heels. She sets a fresh mug of  piping hot black coffee in front of him on his desk. She bows, but instead of backing away like she usually does, she's remaining at his side. The male assistant stands on the other side of the CEO. Something's wrong, I can feel it. She's scaring me, too. She has this defeated expression on her face, as if she's given up hope on all the good things in her life. I can also see faded mascara streaks running down her milky white cheeks. The rosy color that usually decorates those cheeks is gone. Something is definitely wrong. She raises her head.
"I-I'm so sorry, Y/N. H-he threatened my position in the company if I d-didn't tell him... and I couldn't disappoint him yet again like I always have!" She breaks down completely. "And h-h-he made m-me break u-up with Mark!" I stand up, not caring about the possibility of getting in more trouble. She's more important. She runs to me, throwing her arms around me, and I return the embrace. I sit back down on the couch and make some room between Namjoon and I so she can sit. She continues to cry into my shoulder, sobbing hysterically and hiccuping, gasping for air. I've never seen her this upset. I tighten my arms around her, keeping her by my side. Her tears continue to dampen the fabric of my dress but I don't care.
"It's okay, Luna, I forgive you. Please calm down, LuLu..." I coo softly, as the sole emotional grasp of pity takes over the room. I hate seeing her so upset. The CEO is rubbing his temples with his index and middle fingers with his elbows resting on the desk.
"Dramatic as always, Luna. Why can't you follow your brother's example?" The male assistant lowers his head as Luna rips free from my embrace, rising to her feet in an instant. It's as if he's seen this before.
"WHY DO YOU ALWAYS FEEL THE NEED TO COMPARE THE TWO OF US?? HE'S NOT EVEN MY BIOLOGICAL SIBLING, FATHER!!" Luna shouts at the top of her lungs, pointing between her and the male assistant. Suddenly, it's as if the whole world stops in its tracks. Father? FATHER?!
All of us have our eyes darting between the CEO and Luna.
"Luna, you're his daughter?" I suddenly feel hurt, was I betrayed by my childhood best friend? Has she been planning this for a while now? What even is she planning?
"Miss Kim, please sit down and calm down. Luna, darling, come here." The way he's using terms of endearment is very off-putting; I can tell something is not right. Luna returns to his side, wiping tears from her eyes. "Now, now, Luna, I can tell that there is some stuff that clearly has to be discussed, but for now, we have bigger business to deal with. You're going to take over this company one day, and you need to learn not to let sentiment get the better of you, alright?" Luna only nods.
"As for that relationship of yours, Y/N, I have no issue with you being in one. You and Namjoon may continue to see each other..." I sigh in relief and lean into Namjoon's embrace, feeling his warm arm snake around my shoulder, encompassing me in a peaceful hug.
"In secret. I apologize, Namjoon, but if my client is going to be in a relationship, even if it is for love, I'd rather them be seen out and about with someone else more fitted to the position." I pull back slightly from Joonie's embrace, just enough to look into his eyes. They're filled with tears. How does he get what's going on here?
"But Sir, I wanted to make it public with her, and was about to ask your permission before..." The CEO is not having any of my boyfriend's explanation. But what exactly is going on?
"I have nothing against you, Namjoon, you're a talented, humorous, and charismatic man with the power to move mountains. You're just the kind of guy that Y/N should settle down with when the time comes. But that time is not now, I'm afraid. We want Y/N to be seen with someone who is more pure, wholesome; someone who sells her innocent aesthetic."
"So, in lesser terms, you want her to have a fake boyfriend while I suffer behind the scenes? I don't want to see another man with his arms around or even close to the woman I love!" Namjoon jumps out of his seat, stamping his feet on the ground, raising his voice. I'm pretty sure everyone on the street below the building can hear him yelling. "This idea is highly convoluted, and illogical! I won't stand for it!" The CEO slams his hands down on the table.
"MR. KIM, THAT IS QUITE ENOUGH! YOU ARE LUCKY THAT I AM EVEN INFORMING YOU OF ANY OF THIS!! SIT DOWN OR I WILL HAVE SECURITY REMOVE YOU FROM THE PREMISES AT ONCE!" Namjoon sits down, with such a defeated expression that you'd swear he grew a tail that went back between his legs. He's like a little scared puppy, I'm actually expecting to hear him whimper. Nevertheless, I reconnect our hands. "And Miss Kim, no more public displays of affection with Namjoon. That kind of display will only be permissible with your new boyfriend."
My eyebrows shoot open.
"What new boyfriend?" I ask shaking, leaning into Namjoon's side.
"Jungkook, meet your new girlfriend." The CEO says, pointing to me.
WHAT THE HELL????
