_

The dressing room is busy. Stylists moving around with various products stacked up in their arms. Today is the first shooting day for the reality show everyone's been waiting for and excitement has filled the air.

"What about Taehyung getting that girl in–what was her name again?" Hobi asks with curiosity, sitting comfortably in his chair. His stylist had just left the room to fetch some products, whereas Namjoon sitting next to him casually flipped a magazine and simply shrugged. "I'm not sure. But I heard she's gonna come in as a wild card."

Hobi nods thoughtfully, his stylist returning. She gently parts his hair and brushes it back from his forehead. "Bold or soft?" She asks, having few styles in her mind and without hesitation Hobi replies, "Approachable." And her smile appeared as she gets to work with it.

Namjoon chuckles, setting the magazine aside and meeting Hobi's gaze in the mirror. "You're going all in, aren't you?"

Hobi smirked, his sass shining through. "I mean, isn't that what we're supposed to do?"

Namjoon's laugh fills the room, his fingers running through his freshly styled hair. "Maybe I should've gotten a little trim, too?"

"Yah—who's thinking about cutting their hair?" Jin strode in, his hair back to its classic black colour. He's wearing a simple but elegant suit that made him look like a movie star. His hands casually tucked into his pockets as he glanced over at Namjoon.

"Was it you?" He asked, his tone light.

Namjoon smiled warmly, "I was just wondering if I'd look more attractive with a bolder cut–" he's in awe, "–but hey you really look handsome."

Approaching Namjoon, Jin pats his shoulder with a reassuring nod. "I know—also you look splendid. Don't think of any haircut." And Namjoon gave in, could never disagree with his Hyung, "Alright."

"Did you guys eat lunch anyway?" Jin takes a seat on the long sofa behind them. His one leg crossed over the other with folded arms. "They're only giving us snacks, no real meal. It's our first day, after all. Like c'mon."

Hobi spun his chair to face Jin, his stylist effortlessly moving with him. With a carefree smile, he states, "I think we're expected to fend ourselves once we're in the house."

Jin makes a playful face, pouting slightly. "I'm starving."

"Anyone wants a banana?" Jungkook enters the dressing room at the perfect moment, holding a bunch of bananas.

Immediately Jin lets out an amused sigh, "Ah, you're a lifesaver Jungkook-ah."

Jungkook laughed and broke off a banana for him, then handed one to each person in the room, including the stylist. With a few left, he peels one for himself and takes a seat next to Jin, mimicking his posture.

"You look good," Jin complimented, taking in his appearance.

Jungkook wore a casual black tank top that revealed his tattoos and paired it with cargo pants. His hair effortlessly tousled, and his piercings sharpening his looks.

"Thank you," Jungkook replied, his bunny smile lightening up the room.

Hobi's stylist finishing her work leaves the room, allowing Hobi to stand and adjust his outfit. He wore a sweatshirt over a crisp white shirt, exuding neatness and great aura.

"When are we supposed to head out?" Hobi asks, checking his phone for the time.

All eyes move to Namjoon, who stood up now, "They gave us the lineup. Jimin's going first, followed by Yoongi Hyung. I think they're already on their way to the villa."

"Oh already?" Jin puts his feet on the ground, and Jungkook follows him. "Where's Taehyung then?"

"I think he was on the phone." Jin glances outside and everyone turns to see Taehyung strolling down the hallway with a smile on his face talking to someone on the phone.

"Did he already snag a girl or something?" Namjoon questions with a hint of suspicion in his voice. Jungkook being the best buddy for Taehyung brushes it off with a casual wave. "Nah, I don't think so."

But Namjoon stood at the door, watching Taehyung talk discreetly with Skye.

"C'mon Hyung." Jungkook got up, draped his arm over Namjoon's shoulder, and gently turned him away. "Don't overthink it. Aren't you heading out soon, too?"

"Yeah, I heard you're next with Jungkook," Jin added, effectively distracting Namjoon.

"Alright," Namjoon successfully gets distracted, gathers his belongings and prepares himself to leave too.

Jimin has entered the villa first. It's huge. Glass doors at the exterior walls give a view of the garden area surrounding the place. Different kinds of flowers are arranged in the pots. Beautiful small chandlers hovering from the roof at the very top. A balcony giving the view from the first floor to the main hall at the ground level.

He's in awe as he enters the quiet space. Small cameras attached to the walls recording his every moment. He was told to be very careful about it and that only at night they switch off.

Everything was gonna go to the editing team after each day they'd spent together. Not that he's afraid to do something wrong or the editing team would betray the company. They're all trusted people. But he just likes to be careful. Especially when it can spark a scandal.

Taking a seat at one of the sofa he looks around a little more. Fixes his collar looking at his reflection in the mirror. He's giving a soft warm look. Blonde hair, a warm navy blue sweater on denim jeans. His sleeves folded roughly up to elbows.

He's rubbing his palms. Nervous suddenly. He's not used to being pushed into situations like this. Situations meaning trying to have something with the female gender. To have something romantic with them.

That one scandal from Paris two years ago had really affected him mentally and he had not allowed himself to go to that point until now. It will be difficult to open himself up for this but he will try.

The door at the entrance slowly opens and he's stiffened up a little. "Hello?" A female voice shudders his soul. Heels click clacking their way in the hallway from the door.

He reminds himself that he's being filmed and it's all just for the promotion of their next comeback, with no real emotions or feelings.

"Oh—" Jimin looks up at the voice as he finds a young female, her hair long enough to her waist. A soft look on her face. She's wearing a leather full-sleeved jacket, a little oversized over a simple-fit white shirt. Flair long skirt beneath. A thin scarf tied around her neck. Her style was really admirable.

He gets up immediately, bows slightly as the female bows back, greets him and sits opposite to him. She looks around, her posture perfectly straight. Elegance aura radiating from her.

She suddenly faces him and blinks as if she forgot something, "Oh—I'm sorry I forgot to introduce myself." Her tone is stable, her composure still intact, "I'm Yumi."

Jimin plasters a smile on his face, "I'm Jimin." Bops his head a little and she nods back. Appreciates it with a smile and goes back to looking around.

The door's voice happens to come again and Jimin speaks up this time, "Oh looks like someone's here." Yumi listens, peeks outside and tries to take a look.

Within a few minutes Yoongi appears from the entrance and Jimin's soul relaxes, his breath held for so long released in thin air. "Good afternoon," he doesn't even glance at the girl, just greets her and takes his seat next to Jimin.

Yumi, a little confused doesn't let it get her. Smiles at no one. Looks around again. Yoongi fists Jimin's shoulder and can't stop smiling, "Help—I can't stop smiling." And Jimin lets out a little scoff of laughter, trying to contain it in himself too.

"Yah—don't make it obvious." He pinches him and Jimin wiggles, taking Yumi's attention. She glances at both of them and they sit straight. "Hi," Yoongi greets and her lips turn into a smile, "Hello." She does a little bow.

"I'm Yoongi," his mouth is trying not to laugh, his cheeks filling with air. Jimin notices how hard he's trying not to laugh. It was too evident.

Funny how Yumi does notice but doesn't point it out, and lets out a restraining smile too. "I'm Yumi."

Although it was awkward it was funny. Little warmth radiating in the room after Yoongi's entrance. He's wearing a white simple shirt underneath a simple black coat. Simple wide pants below. Canvas shoes. Hair neatly arranged. Someone like a CEO would wear on a golfing day, he thinks.

There's silence again when there's no one coming next. Yoongi and Jimin sit in silence as Yumi gets up. Both heads watch her go to the open kitchen close by.

"Are we supposed to go with her?" Yoongi whispers to Jimin, as Jimin shakes his head confused, "I've no idea."

Yoongi looks behind his shoulder and finds her picking up a jar of water and pouring herself a glass. The stare towards her catching her attention back. "Do you need water to drink?" She asks the two of them and Yoongi immediately gets up flustering Jimin.

"Ah, I'll take it myself. Don't bother pouring for us haha." He approaches her and takes a glass, pours himself a glass and Yumi watches him quietly. He drinks water there and then and she offers him a tissue to wipe his mouth.

Taken aback, Yoongi doesn't let it show and takes it from her. Only Jimin in this room knows how Yoongi becomes clumsy when he gets flustered. Almost spills the jar while moving it back into its place. Yumi making sure it doesn't, holding it from the other end.

"Do you want to check other rooms?" Jimin gets up and distracts Yumi and Yoongi from the intense scene. "Yeah." Yoongi scurries in tiny steps, lips thinned as he follows Jimin who has already started going around to check the place.

Yumi doesn't debate and follows both of them. Hands clasped in front of her dress. A bookshelf appears and it sparkles Yumi's interest. She heads over and checks out the books neatly arranged with the author's last name and genre.

"Oh, how lovely to have a bookshelf." She says it out aloud. Jimin now standing next to her and checking out what kinds of books there are although he's not really interested in reading. "Do you like to read books?" He asks and there's this sudden surge of energy within her replies, her tone a little higher than usual, "Yeah, I love reading books. They're so fun to read."

He's observed how she's changed the term from like to love. She was an honest person is what he presumes of her.

"Oh they have these series too..." her eyes have sparkles and both Jimin and Yoongi stare at her in awe. Her demeanour turning charming as soon as she started to talk.

Realizing she's got a little excited she shuts her mouth, apologizes out of the blue for acting such way. Jimin and Yoongi brushing it off because of course it didn't matter.

"Are you interested in reading—" and before she could complete her statement the door bell rings taking their attention. "Oh, someone's here." Jimin heads out first and both Yoongi and Yumi catch upon him to see the door now slowly open.

A girl comes in very hesitantly. Peeks inside the main hall, "May I?" Asks for permission to no one in particular until the three of them appears and calls her in.

Her smile brightens up the room. "Oh I almost thought I showed up first." She keeps smiling, her eyes disappearing behind her smile. A white muffler is wrapped around her neck, a cold NorthFace jacket zipped up till her neck. Hands inserted in her pockets. Her silky hair black hair half tucked in a clutch.

She titters to take a seat next to Yumi. Her small skirt reaching till her thighs fluttering as she flops down. Black stockings on knitted socks as warmers. "It's super chilly outside." She removes her hand from her pocket and laughs. Takes off her gloves.

"I'm Suzain," she introduces herself, "But you can call me Suzy." She bows at everyone and the room brightens up. Everyone else introduces themselves and it's become little comfortable now.

"Oh I love your scarf." Suzy, points out Yumi's scarf, "It's beautiful." Her eyes shining with honesty. Appreciating her comment Yumi shies a little, "Thank you."

"Of course." She pats her arms and thins her lips, looks at the kitchen, "By the way, do we prepare food by ourselves?" She asks the boys and Jimin takes the lead, "Yeah, have you had breakfast?"

"I did, but if you're preparing I can always eat again." She smiles and Jimin stills in his place. Laughs softly. "I'll try my best." Very casually and carefully he answers. Yoongi beside him poking him and Jimin subtly pushing him off.

"I wonder when's the rest showing up." Suzy pouts, her eyes at the door. Yumi notices, palms her shoulders, "Are you hungry by any chance?"

Suzy, glances back at her. Smiles with her eyes, "I feel like my stomach's empty for some reason." She whispers and Yumi chuckles softly, "Are you nervous?"

"I'm trying to not have a breakdown." She replies, "I think I'm about to faint out of nervousness."

Yumi hides her face behind her shoulders and smiles wide, finding her cute. She comes back and gently pats her back, "It's okay, you're doing great. Don't worry." And Suzy very much grateful for that, tries to calm herself down.

The door bell rings and everyone watches the door, Yoongi getting up to look who's showing up. The door finally opens and Namjoon enters. His eyes falling on everyone, his smile constrained.

Everyone gets up to greet him. Gentle bows and greetings followed by the introduction. Namjoon sits next to Yoongi and smiles at the ladies, "Hope the travelling wasn't much difficult to this place?" He casually initiates a conversation that leaves Yoongi and Jimin in some corner. Shrinking.

"I actually live close by so it was pretty easy." Suzy answers, hands clasping and unclasping. Smile soft. Yumi stares at him and Namjoon makes an eye contact with her.

She doesn't speak. The staring goes on for few seconds until he laughs quietly breaking the silence, "Where do you live?"

Yumi blinks, leans forward, realizes she was asked a question. Fumbles. "Oh–right." And Namjoon smiles, his dimples appearing. "I live quite far away."

That is all she answers for now and everyone takes it in.

The professions or age being a secret. So she could not elaborate on where she lived and why.

"Oh do you want a blanket?" Namjoon picks out a blanket from behind and hands over to Suzy who kept sticking her legs together. Surprised by his gentleness Suzy bows, gladly accepts the blanket leaving everyone impressed.

"Yah–he's smooth." Yoongi mumbles quietly in Jimin's ear and Jimin ducks his head down and look's up with a constrained smile, "I know, I know."

"Knock knock." A man's voice takes everyone's attention. All heads leaning towards the entrance. "Hii," Taehyung comes in wearing a vintage cream and brown fit. Elegancy and handsomeness shining through. His smile as beautiful. Doesn't make eye contact with anyone, directly heads to squeeze in between Yoongi and Jimin.

The girls look at him with wide eyes. He looked straight out of a 90's movie. Classic and vintage. Someone who'd take you to museums and bookstores.

He respectfully and shyly introduces himself. Still not making eye contact with anyone. Just quick glances when the girls introduces themselves.

"Yah–why are you so shy?" Jimin folds his arms and Taehyung shakes his head, "I don't know, I think it's the environment. It makes it so intimidating." He breathes hard, glances at the door, "Y/n is not here yet?"

"Y/n?" Jimin asks and Taehyung nods at him, "Yeah, Skye's best friend." Jimin gapes in realization, "Ah right, nope not yet."

And Taehyung goes back to having conversation with the group. Jimin sitting quietly with folded arms.

"I like the deco honestly." Suzy compliments the villa's set up. "It almost resembles greek style appearance." And Namjoon nods stiffly at her, "Right? I thought the same. They've put some real efforts there."

"Woah, no kidding." She is amazed, lips gaped and eyes all around. The boys smiling at her reaction.

Within few seconds another door bell rings taking everyone's eyes back at the door. A girl comes in surprising everyone and leaving them staring. She's wearing a bandana on her head like a scarf. Make up done like professionals. Hoop earrings. A skims white top on low waist denims. She got bracelets in her wrists, belly piercing, few tattoos on her waist. Straight out of a chic styled fashion store.

And it all crumbles the moment she reaches to remove her shoes and loses her balance to slip and fall on her knees.

Startled everyone immediately gets up from their seat to help her as she pauses, embarrassed. "This is how I lose my aura points..." she shakes her head, talks to herself, looks up at everyone, "Grand entry was it, right?" She laughs and everyone's concerned.

She reaches for the door slab and tries getting up to realize she must've twisted her leg, "ah fuck." She curses under her mouth and it takes everyone's breath away.

She looks up, "oh crap." Laughs, "Apologies." And bows apologetically. Still is laughing weirded out. Tries walking forward until her leg stumbles again.

"I think it's bruised." Jimin leans down to check, her feet turning pale red near her ankle. "Now that's a problem isn't it?" She chuckles, rubs her neck. "Well I was very much prepared for situations like this. I'll grab my stuff from bag. Got a painkiller haha." She winks and tries to get in as Suzy and Yumi help her go to the bedroom where all the bags are stored.

Too bad there was a staircase to walk and they were struggling to take her up. The boys discussing among themselves to help her but none wanting to give them a wrong idea.

"We cannot lift her." Yoongi mentions, "It's not okay."

"Who cares, she's injured." Namjoon states, cannot agree to leave her be. "Someone's gotta man up." He urges and Jimin looks at him. "I'm very fragile, Taehyung is too shy, Yoongi doesn't wanna do it, leaving only you." And Namjoon sighs, "God, you're all—"

And suddenly someone passes by like a wind. They see where it went towards only to stand shocked when they witness none other than Jingkook. That one guy who cared about nothing and scurried over to help without a second thought.

The girls get surprised at his approach. He's skipped stairs to reach them. but his sweet smile at them calms them down. He's now conversing with them. Smile polite, asking for her permission if he could help her and she gives him her hand. Her lips mouthing, "Of course." And they all just stare at him when he lifts her up in bridal style, very effortlessly. He bows at the other girls and takes her upstairs. Her hands clasped behind his shoulders, eyes mesmerized.

Jungkook asks for directions as she points out the bedroom and he takes her in.

The guys just watch him go to her bedroom, carrying her in his arms. Totaly shook and surprised.

"He's such a gentleman." Yumi decides to speak few words and all being dedicated to Jungkook, leaving the remaining ones little embarrassed.

"Oh he sure is." Namjoon chuckles hesitantly, cannot believe how he got the guts to do that. "Maybe I should go check on her." Suzy stands up abruptly before taking her seat. And Yumi blinks, nods, "I'll come too." And they titter up to the bed room leaving the remaining guys stranded.

"Woah—his charm is unmatched." Taehyung like a proud father claims until he gets smacked on the back. "Yah—this is a win or lose reality show." Yoongi states, "Honestly it does even matter. The editors will take care if they want to add this part or not. We should've helped her out."

"True." Namjoon sighs, "Do we go upstairs too?"

"Yeah." Taehyung already starts walking until the door bell rings. Again. Stopping in tracks everyone looks back to see none other than you walking in.

"Hi?" And you finally make your entrance.
