The ride to the office was tense, Seokjin still thinking about the letter while BTS were scared for what other problems may befall them.

When PD min was seated in front of them with a comforting smile, they all breathed a sigh of relief.

"You all don't need to worry, the article hasn't cost us much. Of course the dating and gender speculations are there but it is overshadowed by the fact that both speculations were based on a very old and disgusting mentality", their boss started, looking directly at Seokjin, "This has brought you two in a positive limelight as the idols who aren't afraid to do what they wish. Internationally we are a lot better than here, but still, not everything is ruined."

As much as Seokjin wanted to be happy by this fact, he just felt guilty to cause so much problem.

"Now there's one question left: will you acknowledge this situation or not?"

Normally, things like these were handled solely by the company and did not need interference of the idol. But this was obviously a different scenario.

"We can handle it like usually, sending a statement that any such speculations based on such a backward mentality is wrong. Or, you can personally tell your fans your feelings on Twitter or fancafe."

"Wouldn't that cause more controversies?" Namjoon asked, a grown on his face.

The behavior of idol was a major key in their success and anyone being too sassy or bold on their SNS wasn't received well by the masses.

"It depends on what you call a controversy. Yes, many people, especially the older ones, will be against any rude or sarcastic behavior, so I would advise you to be gentle. But for the international fanbase and youth as whole, seeing you take stand for this will be a huge step."

Their boss didn't need to speak anymore, it was clear what he meant. Young generation looked up to them as role models and if they would see BTS being so supportive of something, it'll be the most amazing thing.

"But this is a very risky move", Seokjin thought out loud, weighing his options.

Your debut was risky, another voice echoed in his mind, almost snickering at him.

Seokjin had always associated this voice as his own sarcastic self, but after discovering his mental condition...

"Can we think about this?" Seokjin asked, wanting to be left alone.

Their boss got the signal and told them that their practice room was empty.

"It'll be very cool if we actually spoke on this", Jungkook said on their way to the room.

"Yes but think of the cons. International fanbase is important but we're also Korean, at the end of the day we live here", Namjoon argued though they all knew it was half hearted.

"How long have you been here?" Seokjin asked as soon as they got inside.

Pretty long, a voice laughed, sounding very... Feminine.
