Bangtan's Release || BTS x Reader

Drained

- Fast forward to 6 months –

Na-Ri found her mark at BigHit and was enjoying her new job. It kept her so busy, she had no time for anything else, but she didn't mind. This is what she wanted. She knew her mom would look down on her with her smile.

Mr Soo and Bang PD-nim were happy with her performance, so her probation period was over, and she was officially a member of staff. Her relationship with the guys was friendly one; she would rarely engage in chit-chat with them; that's just how she was, but whenever they talked, it's as if the boys were mesmerized by her every word and foreign accent.

Because she was part of the staff of probably the most influential K-POP group, she got to meet other idols and even became friends with some of them. Among them were Lisa and Jennie from BlackPink with whom she became firm friends. She was being more carefree and wasn't scared to socialize as much anymore. She was finally living.

-Time skip-

Love Yourself concert in Seoul-

The boys brought the house down at that concert! It was sold out, like all the other dates. Backstage, Na-Ri made sure they had food and water, as well towels. Loads of towels. From the staff room, she would watch the boys' performance on the screen. She was in awe; they were giving it their all.

Although they were exhausted and drained, they kept going. They treated their fans like the most precious thing in the world, interacted with them in a way she could not describe. It was a magical moment between the 7 men and their audience. She was floored by their work ethic and somehow felt so proud of them. A smile found its way to her lips as she was watching them.

Once the concert was over, she went to each of them and gave them a bottle of water and a towel. They thanked her with tired, but grateful eyes. "Thank you Na-Ri-ah, you are always looking after us so well. Thank you for being here" said a drenched in sweat Jimin.

"Noonaaaaa!! How did we do? Did you see us??" yelled Jungkook. "I definitely did see you, Kookie, but how can you guys go from sweet angels to dangerous four-course meals in a split second?! And I saw all that thrusting and grinding, Hoseok!!!!" Na-Ri said loud enough for the said boy to hear. Hoseok smiled with a mix mischief and amusement at her comment. She watched them, alright. If Jungkook wasn't sure Na-Ri watched them, now he was.

She had spent so much time with them, she knew what most people could only dream to know. Every fan wants to know if one of their oppas is in a relationship or not, among other juicy gossip.

When she saw all these articles online speculating about who each BTS member was in a relationship with, she could only laugh at the conspiracy theories. Other theories were so spot on, it was almost scary.

At the same time, she felt sorry for them because they had so little personal time, and even less time to be in a relationship. "I guess that's an idol's life" she said. "But still, not being able to meet someone and share special moments together, that must be hard. How do they do it??" she said out loud.

They looked like they had everything, they were famous, girls and boys were swooning over them, they won trophy after trophy (can you see my bag), but she was one of the few to see what it was really like behind closed door. They were happy and treated well by their company, they were well off financially compared to other idols; some of them even bought luxury apartments in affluent parts of Seoul, but she could see the loneliness in their eyes.

They were young and healthy young men, so how could they not feel the need for dating, the need of being with and being touched by someone?

"I would almost be willing to be their friend with benefits!" she laughed to herself.

Little did she know someone overhead her little monologue...

"Could it be the solution to this problem?"

"This is quite a dangerous solution, though."

"I know, and that's why she's the only one we can trust with something like this"
