Two weeks has passed and Lavender Vanilla already released their new album. It's been the most talked about sensation and all the girls worked harder than ever. The nightmares have subsided but I was growing weary due to lack of sleep. I was worried about having another Taehyung related dream anytime soon. 

I've been a temporary manager for about two months now and was beginning to wonder when I'll be back to my original position. As I worked on more schedules for the girls, Emily comes into the dance room and calls me in to have a private discussion. We both step out of the dance room and head to the CEO's office. Emily knocks on the door a few times and is called to come in. We both enter the office but to my surprise, there was at least five other staff in the room. Some were seated while the rest were stand up. 

Emily clears her throat before speaking "Y/N...You're work here has been nothing but superb...." She pauses. I was becoming nervous now. Was this a going away party for someone? Was I about to get fired? If I am, what for?!

"Y/N we want to promote you to an official assistant manager!" Emily exclaims proudly. Everyone remains quiet as I stand there in complete and utter shock. 

"Oh wow...this...this is so sudden" I chuckle nervously. 

"We just think because you've done a good job as a temporary replacement and wanted to reward you with a much better position. So...what do you say?!"

What do I say? My purpose for this company was to become an accountant. I wanted to start something new and not something I had been familiar with. Of course all my hard work at Big Hit rubbed off here but that didn't mean it was my intention to get this position. I thought carefully to myself. In my heart I wanted to ask Hobi and see about his thoughts but I've been doing that for quite sometime. Maybe it's just time to finally make my own choices without asking him for once. 

"I...I'll gladly accept the position" I finally answered.

The room is filled with nothing but cheers and satisfied smiles. Emily hands me a small white rectangular pin that read "Assistance Manager". 

"Congrats Y/N! Feel free to grab some snacks if you want." Emily says

"Thanks Emily" I decline the offer politely and leave the office to head back to the dance room and continue where I had left off. The girls were still practicing their new chore for their new music video for one of the singles of their album. Loona and Jisu went to the bathroom to freshen up.

I worked on more schedules and other necessities for about an hour until the door opens and Hyungsik walks in. He walks over and stops and sits down on a chair beside me. He leans back and folds his arm and crosses his leg. 

"Hyungsik. What bring's you here?" I asked curiously

"I got a text from Taehyung to come here."

"Well what for? Is it an emergency?"

He hums and shrugs "He didn't specify. He just told me to come here and wait."

"Hmm that's strange" I mumbled and continue to my work. 

Moments later the door opens again. My eyes widen once I see Hobi and the members come in and started walking to where I was seated. I check my phone to see if I had any missed called or texts but there was nothing. Next thing I knew the majority of the staff were making their way into the room. Why was Hobi here? Why were they all here?

The dance instructor stops the music and the girls stop dancing. They had that same face; tired and very much confused. 

Hobi approaches and sits down at another seat next to me while the others chose to stand, waiting for what's to happen.

"Hobi, what's going on?" I whisper "Why is everyone here?"

"I don't know. Taehyung told us to come here."

We waited for about ten minutes when the door suddenly opens and Taehyung enters. He's dressed in simple semi casual with lose stripped light blue shirt and black pants. The room fell silent and Taehyung clears his throat and fixes his shirt.

"Will everyone please gather around for a moment, please?" He ask politely.

Everyone,including myself get up and walk to the center of the room. Hobi senses my worry and confusion so wraps his hand around my waist and brings me close. He caresses my arm and kisses me lightly on the forehead, as a means to help me calm down.

The door opens once again and in comes in Jisu and Loona. Both girls stop dead in their tracks. Taehyung turns around and a big smile is brought on his face. "Jisu" He says, motioning her to come to him "Would you come here for a moment, please?"

Loona joins the rest of the group and Jisu anxiously walks towards Taehyung as she scans the room. She smiles nervously as she comes face to face with him. He takes her hand and brings them to his chest, looking at her with adoration. "Jisu...I know that we've been through a lot years ago. We both were completely naive about who we are and who we loved. I fought for a long time with myself and hated myself for mistakes that me and you had both did. But like most of us, we learn from them. But I think this time...I know what true love is"

The room remains silent

"T-Taehyung...what are you trying to say?" Jisu asks

"I'm saying that...I love you...I always had. I can't seem to picture my life without you in it...I've been meaning to do this since we graduated high school" He gets down on one knee and takes out a ring. It was his grandmother's ring. The ring he had used when he had proposed to me a year ago.

"Jisu...will you do the honor of becoming my wife?"

The room fills with loud gasp. Did he just propose?

"Yes! Yes!" She jumps into his arms and kisses him "Of course I'll marry you!"

The room is filled with cheers and clapping for joy. I, including Hobi and the rest of the members were clapping for them. Namjoon and Jin look at each other and shrug, like parents who had come to the realization that their child was getting married to someone they didn't like. I look to my side and notice Hyungsik didn't seem too happy at all as he clapped with less enthusiasm. He looked rather disappointed and mostly hurt, but he quickly leaves, without another word. Taehyung spins Jisu around in his arms, peppering her with kisses on her cheeks and lips. 

Getting promoted to being Assistant Manager for another kpop company and seeing Taehyung propose to Jisu all in one day? I could see this was a dream but it really isn't.


"I guess my nightmares will finally stop..."
