HIM{A Kim Taehyung/V Fanfiction} Book 1

CHAPTER 33: Nerves

I shook, eyes blurring as Jin held me close and the boys sat around silently in me and Yoongi's dorm. We were all criss-cross on the floor in a big circle.
    "Do you think someone knows who your dad is?" Jimin asked softly as he looked at me with a pained expression. "Do you have any idea who it might be?"
    I shook my head and sniffed. "I didn't even know I had a sister.  I was never told. I'd never seen her before."
    "Are you sure it was you're sister and not a cousin or anything?" Hoseok asked, trying to find some sort of explanation.
    "Cousins don't look identical, Hobi," Jungkook interfered, shaking his head. "It has to be her sister, look at the picture again..."
    When Jungkook showed him the picture, Hoseok's expression fell. He nodded and then sighed, needing to restart his explanation again.
    "Well," Said Namjoon, "We know for sure someone is telling her something. No way in hell would a picture of her family just suddenly appear... especially right in front of Mei in the middle of the night while she was alone."
    "Maybe it's a threat." Said Yoongi worriedly. He looked at Jimin, and they both glanced at Hoseok.
Hoseok couldn't do anything but glance at Namjoon. He had no idea.
"Let's just relax for right now," Jungkook said, looking at everyone's worried faces. "Sitting here worrying isn't going to make anything better."
"Kookie is right," Jin said with a small smile. "We should just calm down. We'll have to keep a closer eye on you, Mei. Also, make sure you're with one of us whenever you are out."
I nodded, a little embarrassed at the fact that they thought I needed protection. I wanted to tell them that I could handle it fine, but my stomach also told me that it would be better for them to protect me. At least, I thought it to myself. Really, I felt too frightened to admit it and to be by myself on this.
    "What about my father? My sister?" I asked them, sitting up, "I have to find out something."
    Jin only shook his head. "It's best if you just stay back, Mei. If this happens again, just come and tell us, and don't try to find out anything. You could be putting yourself in even more danger."
    "Why not call the police?" Suggested Yoongi with a shrug. Namjoon shook his head.
    "They would only cause a bigger scene, and worse, everyone would find out about Mei's situation, the reporters would be everywhere, they'd ask too many questions."
    Hoseok agreed. "We can't take such a risk unless it's absolutely necessary."
"Let's just focus on getting some sleep," Jimin said, standing up, concluding the meeting, "Tomorrow is a big day, we have a competition to be prepared for."
"He's right," Jungkook said, standing up as well. He glanced at me and smiled shyly. "Mei needs to stop worrying so much, she has a duet and a play, and needs plenty of sleep."
"Exactly," Yoongi said, standing up with a smile, "that face cant be puffy in the morning. Everyone... GET OUT!!"
He rushed everyone out with continuous "shoo, shoo!"s, causing me to laugh a storm. When he closed the door after their goodbyes to me, he turned and pointed at my bed.
"Go to sleep, missy. Big day tomorrow."
    I couldn't help but a feel slightly more at ease as he let a small smile show on his face and flipped the light off, surrounding me with the comforts of sleep.

    It finally arrived.
    Today was the day I was going to release my song... and I was nervous.
I woke up to my blanket being yanked and an over-excited Yoongi, he had a bright smile on his face and was surprisingly already dressed.
"Wake up, sleeping beauty! Today is the day for your song to be heard throughout every judge-mental person's ears!"
"Thanks for the reminder," I groaned, rolling over and curling up for warmth.
Yoongi sighed.
"I'll buy you a caramel macchiato of you get up and get ready already."
I was up and ready in five minutes.
His shock was obvious.
"That's what it takes to get you up? Damn, I should have done that a long time ago."
I rolled my eyes. "Let's go to breakfast, I want that caramel macchiato."
"Yes, ma'am." He said with a chuckle.
    When we entered the cafeteria, laughing about a joke Yoongi had told, and we were greeted by our other friends with excited smiles and waves... specifically Hoseok. He for some reason has a thing for never being bored.
    I sat down and Yoongi went to the coffee area.
"So?" Asked Jungkook with his cute smirk, "nervous any?"
"Hell yeah." I said with a shaky breath. I looked around the room, hoping to find the familiar silhouette in which I've come to care so deeply for... nowhere.
I sighed and glanced around at my friends, they all seemed troubled.
Jin placed his hands in front of my vision. I looked up at him and he smiled.
