Chapter 7
-Years Later-
"Congratulations Y/N! Your story was being featured again for the third time!" Sun Hee, my colleges shouted excitedly.
Sun Hee
"All your hard work really paid off." Joon Young patted my shoulder and took a seat in between me and Sun Hee. Thank god our boss put us in one room.
"I couldn't have done it without you guys okay." I smiled looking at the both of them. Sun Hee and Joon Young rolled their eyes when they hear my answer.
"Give yourself a credit will ya?" Joon Young folded his arms. I chuckled upon their behavior. But it is true. My story wouldn't be amazing without Sun Hee and Joon Young's photography skills. I used to like taking pictures but now my passion is more to writing. Occasionally, I will go out and take some photos just for fun. But Sun Hee on the other hand, she's good in giving ideas and how to capture the reader's attention. And my job is to write down using my creativity.
Joon Young
"Okay...how about we go for dinner after work? My treat?"
The both of them agreed without saying much. Well, who doesn't want free food right? I mean this is the least I can do for them who has been with me through thick and thin. I meet them during my internship in Busan and we went to the abroad together after we scored the job and here we are working in Seoul in the same company.
We're about to start our work when we heard a knock on our door. Joon Young open the door since his desk is the nearest and it was our boss. Panicked, the 3 of us stood up from our chair and greet him politely.
"May I have a word with you Y/N?" Jae Hyun, my boss asked me and I quickly nodded my head. I grab my notebook and followed him to his room with mixed feelings. He rarely calls me to his office unless if I did something wrong or there's an important task.
"Have a seat please." He instructed me and I did as he was told. My legs started shaking and I have no idea why was I being nervous. My mind started to think all the wrong doings but I couldn't recall anything.
"Do you know why I called you?"
I shook my head. I could hear he giggled at me. Probably enjoying seeing me like this before dropping the bomb at me. It's either a grenade or a nuclear bomb.
"Why are you so stiff? Relax...I'm not going to scold you or anything. I wanted to congratulate you and your team for your amazing story."
I stared at him blankly, trying to register every single word that he says.
"Ohh..umm...thank you. I couldn't have done it without them." I smiled but my feet are still shaking.
"I'm actually impressed how well the 3 of you worked together. So I guess your next assignment shouldn't be a problem right?" He grabs a few folder from his drawer and started to run through pages without looking at me.
"As long as it's not something illegal." I told him half joking but I can see he is smiling so I guess he can take a joke.
"A representative from BigHit Entertainment called me. They have requested for you to interview their idol group. Their popularity skyrocketed years after their debut."
My whole world was put into a pause the moment I heard BigHit Entertainment. I'm beginning to get a flashback from my past and it wasn't a pleasant one.
"Oh..may I know the name of the group?" I tried my very best to maintain my professionalism even though I was praying hard it was not that particular group.
"Bangtan Sonyeondan or better known as BTS. Have you ever heard of them?" Jae Hyun gave me a look and I almost choked on my spit.
Looks like I ain't that lucky because that's the group I've been avoiding.
"Well...I've heard a few of their songs."
Liar! I have the whole collection of their albums. Not because I wanted to but my brother is part of the group along with Hoseok.
Who would have thought that my brother debuted together with my ex-boyfriend. Fate really has a strange way to reconnect us.
But my brother never once reveal to the media about me and he kept our family identity confidential. Even his members didn't know how I look like and Hoseok too didn't have a clue about it.
I know he did that to protect me. Just imagine if everyone knows that one of the BTS members sister works as a writer and she is gonna write about her brother's group. I don't think I can handle all the stress being followed around by a sasaeng fans. I need my private life.
Despite our different path, he still text me and ask me to take care of myself. Yeah I know. Our siblings bond are kinda weird. We may look like we don't care about each other but deep down we do it's just that we have different ways of expressing it.
"Okay. Looks like you have some research to do. By the way, the interview will be held at their company in two days." Jae Hyun's last word takes me back to reality.
I gave him a quick nod and I left his room with a heavy heart. How am I gonna do this interview?
"NO FUCKING WAY! We're gonna interview them?? Omo! Omo! I can't believe this! Omo! Finally god answers my prayers. I can finally meet Kim Seokjin!" Sun Hee's excitement was predicted when I broke the news to the both of them.
Joon Young gave Sun Hee a funny look while I just ignore her fangirling moment because I had a lot going through my mind right now. What if they find out the secret that I've been keeping?
"Is something bothering you Y/N? You look kinda depressed." Joon Young's deep voice startled me. Seriously, this guy over here reminds me so much about Yongguk. His deep voice, his calm manners and he acts more mature than Sun Hee even though they are the same age.
"It's nothing. I'm just thinking about the interview." I sighed and started to rub my temples.
"Don't worry about it Y/N. I'll do all the research and I'm gonna create a question based on it. We're totally gonna nailed it." As usual, Sun Hee will do her part without I asked her to.
"I hope your questions are not more to satisfying yourself." Joon Young teased her and she just stuck her tongue at him.
"Please. The fans out there are gonna thank us later."
"Or murder us."
And the bickering goes on and on between the two of them and trust me, it can lasted for hours. So what I usually do is that I stepped out of the room for a while and went to the rooftop to earn some peace and clear my mind. And that's what I just did. I sat at the bench with a cup of hot chocolate, admiring the buildings and the view from the top.
Suddenly, my phone vibrates, disturbing my peace and since it's still working hours, I answer it without looking at the caller, thinking it was for work.
"Yah!"
I rolled my eyes when I heard that voice but at the same time, I was glad that he called me.
"Idiot! Is that how you greet your sister, Min Yoongi?"
"Says the one who called her oppa an idiot."
"Well...you are an idiot anyway. There's nothing to be ashamed about."
"Aishhh...this girl!"
I could hear the groans and I know he didn't want to drag the conversation further or we won't stop bickering. Call us weird but that's how our siblings bonding work.
"I heard the news from my manager that you're gonna interview us. Is that true?"
"Yup. Of all the idol group that existed why must be your group? Why can't it be EXO or Big Bang?"
"Because we made our dream come true! And also we're awesome. I mean there's only one group in this entire universe that has Min Yoongi as one of their members."
Cocky much? Well, technically he is not wrong. He also brags a lot about his 'Genius Lab' studio and he told me that he's in the middle of producing his mixtape.
The perks of being his sister; I always got the news first before the media did and of course, the stuff that the media didn't know too. But more importantly, I get to teased him whenever I want which end up he'll get mad at me but in a very adorable way.
"I want big cars, big house and big rings..." I started to imitate his line and I can clearly tell he was annoyed with me and if he was in front of me right now, I'll be dead for sure!
"Will you just shut up and let me talk?"
"I'm listening." I giggled after having so much fun teasing him. At the same time, it was a stress relieved.
"I hope you're strong enough to handle this interview. It's gonna be tough ya know."
"Ohh please. I've been through worse ok."
"And it's gonna repeat if you're not strong. I just don't want you to get hurt. The scars from the past will bleed again if you're not careful enough. I can't bear to watch you on the hospital bed feeling helpless and broken."
His last word feels like a knife that just stabbed at my chest. My hands suddenly trembles while clutches my phone so it won't fall.
"I-I have to face him whether I like it or not. It's my job. I can't run away from it forever. I'll be fine." I tried to sound super confident although I'm shaking inside. Yoongi stays silent at the end of the line.
"Y/N..I really want to talk longer but I have to go now. Gotta practice. See ya on Friday during the interview. And don't worry, I'm not gonna let anyone know that your swag oppa is Min Yoongi."
"Ohh God! Shut up and just go!"
Just like that, our sweet siblings' phone call ended. He is so overprotective about this coming interview because he knows I was left heartbroken by one of his members. That time he only knows his name but never meet him in person.
I quickly brush off all the negative thoughts and took a deep breath. After a few minutes of meditation, I felt calmer and decided to head back to my desk with hope Joon Young and Sun Hee have finish arguing.
Finally the day of the interview has come. Sun Hee was pretty energetic and Joon Young as usual, ignoring her. He keeps himself busy with his camera. We arrived at BigHit Entertainment around 9.40 am. 20 minutes early. We were greeted by the friendly staff and Sun Hee keeps on making inhuman sounds and started to talk gibberish about Bangtan Bomb episodes and all the nonsense.
We were accompanied to the interview room and the staff says that BTS were getting ready and they'll be here anytime soon. That word makes Sun Hee even more ecstatic. I can see Joon Young wanted to strangle her so badly but he calmed himself. Since this interview is gonna take around 1-2 hours, we have to be quick with all the questions. Sun Hee even ranked which question is the best and the rest is for back up if BTS decided not to answer it.
As we were preparing ourselves, he heard footsteps. And also some noises followed by laughter. Sun Hee and I looked at each other. Quickly, we do some touch up and when we finish putting our lip gloss, a group of good looking boys entered the room. I can feel Sun Hee keep on tugging my hands because of her inner fangirling has been released.
"Sorry we're kinda late. One of our members overslept." The one with dimple apologized to us, which I think was the leader.
"It's okay. Things happen." I smiled at them politely and avoiding eye contact with my brother. Not gonna lie, he does look good. I really wanted to give him a hug but nope...that's not gonna happen.
I saw Sun Hee was doing a head count and she told me one of them is not here yet.
"Umm...excuse me." we heard a voice coming from the members and one of them raised their hands. When my eyes landed on him, I feel like I've met him before. The same goes to the person beside him. But where?
"Yes Jungkook-ssi?" Sun Hee answered. Jungkook? SERIOUSLY? This boy has grown up so well and damn he's tall. What happened to the cute kid that I meet in Hongdae years ago?
"Sorry if we're kinda rude or interrupting you but your colleague seems familiar to us." My heart started to pound as a glimpse of flashback started to play in my mind. They were Hoseok's dance partner Jimin and Jungkook. Thinking about my past makes my heart ache and even mentioning his name makes me feel...hurt.
"Ohh you mean her? Maybe you saw her in one of her blogs. She's quite well-known."
Ohh god! I wish Sun Hee would save her energy for the interview because she has been talking non-stop. I keep on looking at my watch, waiting for a perfect time to start the interview since we were informed that BTS has schedules after this.
"Sun Hee, I need to go to the washroom. We'll start immediately after I got back. Hopefully by then the last member is already there." Sun Hee nodded her head and Joon Young also heard the instruction clearly. I stood up from the sofa and was heading straight to the unclosed door. But before I even had the chance to leave the room, someone ran into me and the next thing I know my back already hits the floor and someone falls on top of me.
"Ouchh...geezz!" I growled in pain as I keep my eyes shut due to the impact of hitting the floor.
"Y/N!" Sun Hee and Joon Young screams in unison. The rest of the BTS members were also in a panic mode.
"I'm so sorry! I didn't see you. Are you okay?"
That voice.
This body.
This scent.
Why is it so familiar?
Slowly I opened my eyes and I almost stop breathing. His face is so close to me. His warm breath lingering at my lips. Our nose almost touches each other. My heart was beating insanely fast. After all these years, fate has decided to put a test on me. I haven't mentioned his name for a very long time because I know it will make me cry again. But now, the man that used to love is in front of me. More like on top of me. We're so close.
"H-Hoseok?"
Author Note:
I'm at the airport now waiting for my flight to Seoul. I decided to post an update because I don't think I can write much when I'm in Seoul.
By the way, this story was written during the HYYH Era so the latest song won't be around yet.
I hope you enjoy the story and sorry if there was a grammar mistake.
