Chapter 30: BigHit Contract

It's the last day of your week off. You've been feeling better and the sessions have been helping you. You didn't talk about everything that you've been through but further sessions are to take place when you go back to work. You were with Dr Dana in the office having your final evaluation and then you'll move to the hotel. None of the boys know you're going back today. They called every day, however, to check on you. Calls took 40 seconds to end but they always found time to call. Jungkook was drained. He was doing things spiritless and he's been consumed with worry and anger.

"So, you're planning on buying them presents before you go?" Dana asked.

"Yes! I bought Yoongi a Versace head band I ordered to be custom made with his stage name written on it. I bought Namjoon a smart notebook where he can write on it with this special pen and scan this QR code and it's sent to his phone. I also got him a Bentley pen. I got Hoseok a collection of high-end skin care products. For Jimin, I got him Cartier earrings and for Tae a Gucci bag. Jin gets a Cartier ring." You listed everything you've bought so far.

"Don't you think this is excessively expensive?" Dana asked.

"I know, I just feel grateful for them, I splurged." You said guiltily.

"Well, what about Jungkook?" She asked curiously.

"I bought him a couple of cameras I think he'd love. He loves directing, as I told you." You were excited to see him. You were too excited to see him and as much as you were excited you were terrified. Your walls has been relatively repaired this past week. You sighed but awaited his meeting. You decided on trusting your first reaction. He makes you lose your ability to calculate your next step. You realized it'd be useless to think too much.

"I'm proud of you, Catherine." Dana said frankly and honestly. "You've done great progress in a week. I hope you follow your plan and don't forget your sessions and your medications. There will be a daily check on you, anyways." She smiled as she wrapped up the session and allowed you to leave with your driver.

The boys were training as you arrived to the hotel to have a meeting with Bang pd. You had a session with Dana about that meeting and you were relatively prepared for every scenario possible. You were prepared for the worst. You got into the cafe with a smile. You held yourself high and upright. You weren't to show weakness because you didn't feel week. You smiled bigger as you realized how mature and emotionally stable you've become this past year.

"Hello, Kaesolin." Bang said as you sat down.

"Nice to see you, again, sir." You said showing great respect.

"Likewise." He said preparing his thoughts. "Welcome back. I hope you're doing better." He didn't give you much time to answer.

"Having you away for this past week has been a great loss. We realized how much we need your eyes on the field. We understand your medical condition and we've informed our medical professionals about everything you'll be needing to assure your safety." Dr. Dana couldn't tell your true diagnosis to BigHit. Although it's not a lie, it wasn't the full truth either.

"We came to understand how it is to have epilepsy and we'll make sure you stabilize for the whole tour."

"Thank you, Sir."

"About what happens after the tour. We want to extend our contract with you." This is when you choked on your Americano.

'What the actual fuck?'

The last thing you'd imagine is that you'll be asked to stay. After such an incidence you were afraid of getting fired. You coughed so hard your chest hurt.

"Don't worry, you'll have time till the last week of the tour to decide. We know how important it is for you to go back to movie making and producing and directing for bigger companies. So, don't worry, our contract won't be tight as this one."

You were finding it hard to breathe. You already have too many jobs you wanted to take on as soon as this tour was over. You were in absolute awe. You only had one month to think, though. One month and this tour will be brought to a close end.

'Wait, what?' You wondered. 'How the actual fuck is this happening? I thought I'd lose it all after breaking the contract. I don't understand!'

"I am sorry to wrap up the meeting promptly but I have an important meeting to attend to." He said getting up and shaking your hands. You were left alone in the cafe with Sejin. You were flabbergasted, your body limp on the chair.

"The contract is already over with." Sejin said snatching you out of your reverie.

"What?"

"Bang pd has had it prepared for almost two weeks, now. Having you away for this long made him more convinced that we need you permanently on the team. I guess all this worked in your favor." Sejin ended it with a smile.

"I guess." You giggled.

You didn't decide, yet, whether you were going yo accept the offer but you were astonished. All the worries you had about losing everything because of your illness came shattering to the floor. There's one thing you still worried about, that is: Jungkook. You came to the realization that you won't be able to let go. You won't be able to stay, either. But, again, you decided to let go of yourself when he's around.

"Would you like to go out for a celebratory drink?" Sejin said friendly.

"Sure, yes!" You said excitedly and followed him out of the cafe.

"The boys and I missed you a lot." The sudden familiarity and affection made you feel weird. That wasn't expected from Sejin.

"I missed you a lot, as well! It's been tough but I always had them on my mind." You smiled.

"What about me?" This time you physically frowned but quickly hid your blatant expression.

"Oh, yes, sir. I've been thinking about everything that has to do with the team." You said deflecting the overtly friendly tone. Sejin showed a weak smile. You felt too uncomfortable for the rest of the time. Sejin loosened up as he drank and you didn't feel relaxed at all.

"So, what about Jungkook?" He asked with inapparent curiosity. "What are you going to do with him?"

"I bought everyone gifts." You deflected another personal question. He nodded without any expression.

"Has Eun Ae been doing a good job?" You decided to move things to the professional side.

"Not as good as yours." He said drunkenly.

"Oh, she's been new to this and she's quite young, I am sure she's doing her best." The whole situation felt awkward and uncomfortable so you excused yourself to your room.

"I hope we don't have to lose you, again."

"Yes, Sir, it's been a great loss for me to not be doing my job." You hurried to your room.

Eun Ae texted you that they were almost there and she texted you Jungkook's room number. She made sure you'll be able to get in. You used the room card to get in and sat on the bed. Anticipating him. Heart racing faster than a Lamborghini. You didn't know what to expect. Will he be indifferent? Will he be excited or will he be appalled? Your thoughts were interrupted by the doorknob turning and that's when your heart stopped.
