Can I help you?

Chapter 78

Sarah is on the streets, doing some groceries. A car stops. "Sarah?" She stops and looks at the car. She sees Ji Hoon. Oh no... we never broke up... officially. "Ji Hoon oppa!" She laughs uncomfortably. I should break up with him. "Why did you leave like that? I was so worried. I missed you." Sarah opens the car door and gets in with him. They drive off. Jin saw and is surprised. Why is she getting in that car with another guy?

WWH: Does anyone know someone in a fancy western car?

Minimi: No...Not that I know off. Why?

Rapmonsta: Must be someone rich, daebak

WWH: Just saw Sarah get in a car with a guy I don't know.

Sunshine: ....

Sunshine: ....

Kookie: Hyung?

Bbibear: Mary says it might be Ji Hoon

Bbibear: If it is a western car and a handsome looking guy...

WWH: He is less handsome than me, but he is very good looking.

Agust D: Then it must be him. Ji Hoon... But why?

Sunshine: ....

Jhope is in the house in a fool mood. He is texting Sarah, even calling her but no response. "Relax, there must be a good reason..." Jimin pats Jhope on his back. "Yeah, just trust her, hyung." V says. "But this is Ji Hoon we are talking about." Emma whispers to Doenja. Jhope heard it and his eyes are panicking. He is nervous and decides to wait downstairs for Sarah.

Sarah is in the car with Ji Hoon. He keeps asking her where she went and why she went away. Sarah tells him not everything. "I was in Japan for some rest. I am a bit occupied by things. I didn't have time for love." "But still leaving like this..." "I know. I'm sorry." Sarah looks at her groceries. "Could you bring me home?" "We are already on our way. Almost there." They arrive at the house. Jhope sees the BMW drive on. He stays out of sight because of the obvious reasons. He sees Sarah getting out with the grocery bags. A handsome guy walks out too. They are still talking. He sees how Ji Hoon comes closer to Sarah. Suddenly he sees Ji Hoon kiss Sarah. He jumps out of his hiding and runs towards them.

Sarah gets out of the car. Ji Hoon comes out too. He steps towards Sarah. "So, are you ready to love again?" Sarah smiles and nods. "I am..." "Great!" And he cups Sarah's neck and pulls her in for a kiss. "HEY!" Sarah looks at Jhope in shock. Oh No... She pushes Ji Hoon off. "Oppa, I can't... I wanted to break up with you. This is why I wanted to talk to you." Jhope nears them and he grabs Sarah, pulls her in his chest and his eyes shoot bullets at Ji Hoon. Ji Hoon stares at the couple and is in disbelief. "W-wait, you mean you were ready to be in love...with him?" "Yes, Ji Hoon oppa, I'm sorry. But I didn't really really love you. It was a fake love. It's better for you too." "Fake love? Sarah, I did love you for real. Mine wasn't. I was ready to give you the world. To make you my wife. I introduced you to my parents. Why couldn't you love me for real too?" "I... I didn't know it myself, and somehow I did. It was a fake love because my real love was with someone else." Sarah looks at Jhope and he kisses her temple. "I really loved you, Sarah... I really did..." Sarah can see hurt behind Ji Hoon's eyes. "I believe you, but you deserve a real love too." Ji Hoon looks at how Jhope is lovey dovey with Sarah. "I don't know how to react to all this... I knew you should not live with those handsome men in 1 house. You lied to me. Something did happen." "Ji Hoon..." Sarah walks towards him and he just turns around and opens the car door. "How long has this been going on?" "It was already before you..." "Nevermind I don't want to know. Goodbye" He closes the door. The car drives on. Sarah feels so bad. "I never broke up with him... We never said goodbye..." Sarah's voice sounds weak. Jhope pulls her in for a hug and looks at the car. He doesn't feel right either. He lifts Sarah's chin and kisses her deeply, wiping away the kiss of another man.

Doenja is in the room with Sarah. "So you properly broke up with him?" "I did." "And he knows you are with Hoseok now?" "He knows." "Will he keep it quiet?" "I think so." "You think so? You mean you aren't sure?" "I mean, I trust him. But I can't really be 100% sure." Doenja sighs and lays on her bed. "Should I quit too?" Sarah looks at Doenja. "I mean, you can if you want to. It could be better, that way you can date openly." "But imagine if ARMY ever finds out that they started dating with the staff? Also they are losing 4 biases at the same time." "The netizens could also be pissed." "It is so scary. What if BH decides to send us away, if we quit like that?" Then we are without a job, not able to stay here any longer." They feel very down.

Ji Hoon is a few weeks later in a bar. He is drinking scotch and is with a few friends. "DUDE what happened to you? You never drink this much!" They are all worried. "If I wouldn't know better, you have a heartbreak?" Ji Hoon sighs. He shots the glass back in one shot. "That looks like a broken heart to me. Was she that special for you?" Friend nr.1 smacks him between his shoulders. "She was the one for me. I swear. I loved everything about her." He is drunk and lays his head on his arms. Suddenly the music is a song from BTS. "He took her..." The look around them but he isn't pointing to anyone. "Who?" "One of them..." "Who?" "The BTS members... They live together and she works for him.... I should have known." A friend quickly browses his phone and shows him a picture. "Who?" Ji Hoon points at one of the members and drops his head. "How could she do this to me? I loved her so much..." He is asleep. His friends are browsing and whispering.

Emma resigned with Big Hit. Doenja followed. "We are now without an income... or visa... from now on we will need to trust that you guys can handle long distance relationships. We still have 3 months now." "Is there no way you guys can get another visa?" Doenja shakes her head. "I don't have a bachelor or master..." Emma shakes her head. "I didn't finish my management bachelor." Sarah grins. "I am a natural at things, so I never studied in my life."" I have a bachelor in Japanese, but i am still looking for a job." Mary says. They all look down. "Marriage visa is not an option either... I don't think you guys want to marry now." "So we decided to wait for you guys until you are ready." "Let's see each other in Belgium. And see each other often. Not all long distance relationships are viable." Emma and Doenja look sad. Sarah smiles. "I'm sure we'll be fine." She pulls those 2 with her. "Let's stay positive and enjoy 3 more months. We are now completely in your care." She bows and takes the other 2 with her in a bow. She looks at her feet. I just need to keep the faith... She swallows her tears and fears and smiles as she gets up again.
