Sweetest Fear

CHAPTER 8

I was still in a daze when Yoongi came back to the cubicle we've been hiding, took my hand and pulled me out of the place. "I'll come with you to get your things in our place." He offered. His statement brought me back to reality. I pulled him to stop. "No! You will stay here, Manager Hobeom will accompany me. We don't want to add fuel to the fire do we?" He paused for a while and looked at me in the eyes. He opened his mouth to say something but Manager Hobeom already saw us and is now walking in a fast pace towards us.

"Yah, Yoongi yah! Why did you snatch Miss Sarrah like that?" Manager Hobeom then looked on Yoongi's hand holding mine and then he sighed. "Yoongi-yah," Manager Hobeom started but Yoongi cut him off "I know manager-nim. I just talked to her about something important." He looked at me one more time before he reluctantly let my hand go and then he turned to manager Hobeom with a serious face.

"Hyung, Can you do me a favor? Can you please keep an eye on her? Never ever let her out of your sight. Make sure you bring her back here safely, okay hyung? Or else..." My brows furrowed. Is he asking for a favor or is he threatening Manager Hobeom. I shook my head. Manager-nim bowed his head and shook it with a deep sigh. I thought he was going to get mad but he looked at Yoongi with assurance. "Don't worry Yoongi-yah, I got her." Manager Hobeom reassured Yoongi.

"What are you even worried about? It's not as if I have other choices. As if I have anywhere else to go, I don't even have money with me." I said to Yoongi in a bitter tone and that made him look at me again with an unreadable facial expression.

"I will be waiting for you to comeback then. Go to my studio when you arrive." Yoongi ordered as he put one of his hand in his jeans side pocket before he turned his back towards us and walked away to go back to their meeting in the conference hall. Manager Hobeom and I just stare on Yoongi's back speechless.

After a few seconds of silence, Manager then turned to me and asked a very personal question. "Tell me, are you in a relationship with Yoongi?" I almost choked on Manager Hobeom's question.

"N...No...NO! Why do you even ask that? Do we even look like a couple?" I stammered and I want to hit the back of my head for stuttering. He didn't answer and just stared at me for a few seconds and sighed. "We better get going now, I still have lots of work to do." Now I feel sorry because I feel like I became a burden.

"Manager-nim, if you are busy, I can go by myself. I think I already know ky way around Seoul." I offered but he blatantly refused. "No, I will come with you. I don't want to face the wrath of Min Yoongi if anything happens to you." I scratched my head and tried to argue. "I will come back here. I promise! And what could possibly happen to me?"

He just looked at me weighing my statement. Just then his phone rang. He looked at the registered name before he answered it hurriedly. "Hello, what is wrong Eomma?" The color drained from his face and he looked panic-stricken. "Yes, Eomma, I will be there right away!" He ended the call and left without another word. It must be an emergency. He even forgot to say goodbye. I just shrugged my shoulder. Anyway I can take care of myself, I can go to their dorm by myself but suddenly I realized I have one little problem. I have no money. I sighed and face-palmed. I am really stupid sometimes.

I need to borrow some money for now. So I waited in the lobby until they finished their meeting. I started reading the magazines stacked at one corner to entertain myself. After an hour or so, people started coming out of the room. I saw Yoongi still inside the room talking to a guy with mustache and beard. Mr. Bang saw me first, I bowed and smiled at him. I don't want to owe any money from Yoongi and so I thought of Mr. Bang.

He looked surprise to see me. "That was fast! Have you moved your things to the quarters already? Where is Hobeom?" Mr. Bang asked. I smiled awkwardly. "Actually Sir, Manager Hobeom had an emergency so he left. I wasn't able to go back to the dorm yet. I was wondering if I can talk to you in private?" I whispered the last part since I don't want to let all the people in the room know that I am borrowing some money. He just nodded and then he lead me to his office.
