Living with BTS | J.H.S {Completed}

✧༺38༻✧

~Kyung-Mi POV~

We were all sitting on the couch a few minutes later while Jimin dealt with his existential crisis.

"One of my best friends...one of my brothers.... is dating my sister... " We watched as he continued to try putting two and two together.

"Well when you put it like that.... It's weird..." Hoseok cringed.

"Yeah, welcome to my thought process." Jimin stared blankly at the floor, letting out a sigh.

"Well I think we'd better get going since I'm sure I'm not the only one who has to meet their manager. Hopefully Jimin's brain is fixed sometime then. We'll figure this saseng stuff out when we get back. " I let out awkwardly. Everyone nods and starts going their separate ways to get dressed.

•-•

We all enter the company building together, except for Namjoon and Seokjin, of course. We parted ways in the elevator as more people left the higher the elevator went.

I get off on the fifth floor and make my way towards my manager's office, greeting a few trainees who all looked to be no less than thirteen years old, both male and female. Seeing their young and bright faces as they bowed to me as soon as I walked by, it reminded me of how I was back then. Innocent, naive, and without a single care about having to be a certain way in order to be that perfect little piece of art work that no one wants to ruin.

A lot of times, I can't help but wonder what my life would be like if I hadn't decided to become an idol. Where would I be? What would I do? Who would I be associated with? How would I live my life? As much as I know being an idol isn't easy, there are still things I have experienced that I wouldn't be able to experience if I were a normal person. Crowds of people cheering my name, singing along to my songs, receiving so many fan letters saying how much my music has helped them through tough times.

Being an idol isn't the best career path out there, but dammit, it isn't the worst either.

I find myself in front of my manager's office. I know she said that I wouldn't be in trouble, but why does this seem like such a life or death situation?

"Kyung-Mi, I can see you. The glass on the door may be frosted but I can still see you." I hear my manager's voice from inside. "Come in. " I slowly poke my head through the door as the rest of my body follows and I close the door behind me. She switches her glance from her computer screen to me standing at the door. "Take a seat, please." She motions to the chairs in front of her desk.

"Oh, of course." I silently take a seat and avoid all eye contact. I limit all movements as to not cause any disruption.

"Kyung-Mi I told you that you weren't in trouble, feel free to calm down a bit." She says without even glancing at me. At this point after working with me for so long, she doesn't even have to look at me in order to know what I'm doing or how I feel. I let my shoulders drop but that's all I feel comfortable doing.

"If I'm not in trouble... Then may I ask why you called me?" I ask, not going above my normal speaking tone.

"I told you, I just wanted to talk about how we're going to handle things. Hoseok is also going to his manager and doing the same. We want to hear what you both want to say separately before making any decisions." She finally takes her eyes off the screen and hands off the keyboard before turning the screen towards me.

She had two windows open, one where she had searched my name, and the other where she searched Hoseok's. Two different things in the search bars, and yet, similar results. The wording of the titles made things look so deceiving and I was overwhelmed by what these reporters had done to what was only an innocent love story.

'Multiple Members of BTS Seen in Each Other's Beds, Click for More Info'

'Celebrity Siblings Jimin and Kyung-Mi Both Caught in Dating Scandals'

'Photos of BTS members and Mimi Taken by Sasaeng at Home Show What Fans Don't Know'

All of those titles, and yet none that concern the fact that this was an invasion of privacy. Some being so misleading, it disgusts me. My manager clicks on one that was filled with fans' thoughts.

"Be thankful that the only bad part is the news tainting your image, your fans seem very supportive for the most part so that shouldn't affect things too much." She motioned for me to look at the screen again.

For the most part, it was touching to see the support. Of course there were a few bad comments here and there though. Those hardly affect me any more though since I've already faced the truth that not everyone is going to love me or my music. It's a sad fact but true.

I don't even need it to be false, I'm thankful to have as many fans as I do today.

"Now, going away from how everyone feels, it's time for us to release a statement on this." She turns the computer back to its original position. "The only question I have to ask you is if you're okay with officially announcing that everything in the photo is true? I'm not saying we'll do it, just asking if you'd be alright with it. We'll only say so if both you and Hoseok are okay with it. "

The answer seemed obvious when I saw the fans' comments on it. And yet, why was it so hard to get the words out. Why couldn't I just say 'I'd be alright with it'? Oh right, that's because as much as my fans may enjoy this news, how are Hoseok's fans reacting?

I already saw with those few bad comments that mostly were criticizing the fact that he had chosen me over the fans, who all thought they had the right to have a chance with him. If we confirm this, would his fans come after me first? Or would they criticize him first and me after? Would the fans who are happy for us be willing to stand up for us? It's not like we can stand up for ourselves.

As long as I'd love to publicly date so we wouldn't have to hide anything anymore, for the sake of his and my career, it can't happen.

"I'd prefer it if the statement didn't confirm the photos..." I look down, ashamed of how cowardly those words were.

"Are you sure? This means you and Hoseok will have to be extra careful. We can easily say that those photos were edited or that you two are only close friends, but fans are already suspicious." She asks me.

"Yes I'm sure." I nod.

".... Very well then, you are dismissed." She motions to the door. I stand to leave and begin making my way out of the room, hearing one last thing before I leave.

"I'll give you a week to think over it. Make sure this isn't something you'll regret."
