We stood in a semi-circle around the room in dead silence, waiting for BangPD to join us.

Sejin Oppa already knew what had happened, but all he said was that the video went viral. So here we were, waiting for Hitman Bang's verdict.

I swear the moment he entered I heard background music playing. I took a small step to the side so my shoulder would brush against Suga's. As friendly as BangPD is, he could be a scary man when crossed.

He gave my hand a gently squeeze, but let go almost immediately. BangPD stood in the middle of the room and scanned us. His eyes skipping from one boy to the other, passing mine with barely a glance before moving on to the next boy.

"Where is the lady who was caught on the camera?" He asked furrowing his brows. He even turned to look around the rest of the room - but only the rest of the boys managers and choreographer were present.

"It was Eun-Ha with me." Suga replied, taking a small step away from me. Well, leaning against each other wasn't going to help our case. Not to prove that we aren't ... weren't doing anything last night in any case.

"Ha-ya?" He asked looking slightly confused. He looked at me as if for confirmation. At my nod he sighed and rubbed his neck. "Well, that's a relief." He said with a smile. "We might actually be able to salvage the situation."

I wasn't the only one staring at BangPD like he lost his mind. Which only caused the man to laugh seeing our expressions.

"Wait, I don't understand what is going on?" A voice piped up from the side. That's when I noticed Ha-neul was in the room with us. Too caught up in my own dilemma I hadn't even noticed her there.

"See for yourself." BangPD said, opening his laptop on the table and playing a video. Curious we all gathered around the table to watch - yes even the boys and me who knew exactly what happened.

The video started with a short introduction, and then these words appeared on screen:

So earlier today V and Jimin did a live on VApp and they were going around their dorm telling good morning to all the members. The last member they went looking for was Suga. And we found something really surprising in his room.

It was only a glimpse, but for sure their was a girl sleeping in Suga's bed. Before V could really capture the pair, someone crashed into V, knocking the camera out of his hand.

Then the clip played from the moment Taehyung knocked and the two boys entered the room without waiting for a reply. V - who was clearly holding the camera  turned towards the bed, the exact moment we could hear Jungkook shouting 'Hyung'.

Like it already said, both me and Suga in bed was caught for just a glimpse before someone (Jungkook) crashed into Taehyung and the phone crashed to the floor.

Then it played again in extra slow motion, and paused at the exact second the video captured us. It was slightly blurred, but the picture was pretty clear.

My arm was wrapped around Suga's waist, head leaning against his hip - he was sitting, with laptop on his... well, lap. The blanket was pulled to my chin, except for where it tucked under my arm that was wrapped around his waist.

It's pretty clear that she's cuddling him... and he is okay with it.

His reaction to seeing V with the camera is not shown as Jungkook knocked the camera out of V's hand. Considering we can actually hear Jungkook yelling Hyung right before he knocked on V, he clearly knew Suga wasn't alone in his room.

The camera was on the floor for quite a while, while Jungkook apologised to V, and then J-Hope coming to inquire what all the commotion was about. When V picked up the camera again Jungkook was missing - apparently he left the room from what he said - but V avoided turning towards the bed again. Didn't he go inside to have Suga greet us good Morning?

Instead V walked away from the bed and he, Jimin and J-Hope were showing Suga's things. Suga joined them and after talking for a while, they told goodbye and went offline.

I don't know what really happened, but I'm guessing she was still sleeping while they filmed which is why they never showed the bed again. And this must not have been the first time she had spent the night over, by the way everyone reacted - like it was normal.

And their was some more nonsense guesses, before the video finished with a 'comment what you think'.

"I've been meaning to ask you this all morning," Jimin started the moment the clip ended "Jungkookie how did you know Eun-Ha was in hyungs room?" He asked turning to Jungkook, who scratched his head sheepishly.

"Well, Suga Hyung and I went out to eat lamb kebab with Eun-Ha last night, then she knocked her head on the dashboard so after taking her to the hospital she fell asleep in the car. So Suga Hyung brought her home with us. Everyone was asleep when we came back, but she was their the entire night."

"You two had a date with Eun-Ha and didn't invite us?" Jimin gasped, looking at the maknae in shock. He wasn't the only one who blushed at the accusation. I felt my own face heat up.

The last thing last night had been was a date.

Blush aside, I was still blinking back tears. Which is why I ignored Jimin's joking and looked for Suga. We had gotten separated while watching the video

I found him in the very back of the room talking to BangPD. RM, Ha-neul and my father were all with him. BangPD was talking and he had his head hanged. RM was actually rubbing his back all supportively.

Leaving the teasing boys side, I walked up to BangPD and the others side. Each step closer making me fight back tears.

"Eun-Ha." Ha-neul greeted me shortly when she saw me approaching. "Did you have any idea how worried I was when you didn't come home last night? I thought you got yourself lost again."

"Why didn't you answer your phone if you were so worried over her?" Suga snapped before I could even open my mouth. His eyes were narrowed at Ha-neul, giving her a real stink eye. "I called you at least five time standing in front of your dorm. And do you know the time you returned my call? 4:00 a.m."

He answered his own question, almost spatting the words in her face, RM's hand on his arm was what kept him from getting in Ha-neul's face.

"Some worry." He added, but before he could continue, I place my hand on his chest which stopped him short. He looked at me and I shook my head before looking at BangPD.

"I'm so sorry, BangPD. This whole mess is my fault..." I started to say but Suga cut me off by scoffing.

"Eun-Ha-Ya this is by no means your fault." He said

"It is Oppa. I mean I shouldn't have fallen asleep in the first place. Then you wouldn't have had to take me to your place and this whole scandal could've been avoided. I'm so sorry Oppa." I said as my tears won the bottle and slipped my tight hold.

"If it's with you I don't care how many scandals are made." He said pulling me to a hug. My arms wrapped around his instantly and he pulled my head to the crook of his neck. Burying my face, I still fought back tears.

"We know it's nothing like that right." He added stroking my hair.

Nodding my head, I pulled away. We still had to deal with this. Telling ourselves what happened wouldn't change the situation or explain what happened to A.R.M.Y.

"Well, I think Eun-Ha should stay out of social media for a while. Even if people don't know it's her." J-Hope suggested. I hadn't realised the other boys had joined us as well. But they stood beside us, showing their support.

"That won't be a problem. Eun-Ha don't use social media. She doesn't even have a twitter or facebook account." Suga said to them before addressing me. "Stay out of youtube in any circumstance."

I know I looked shocked, because he shook his head 'don't say a word'. "That video we just watched was from youtube. So no matter how hard, stay out of youtube."

"B-b-but, my DIY's and projects. My graphic designing lessons." I protested looking at Suga pleadingly.

"Suga is right Eun-Ha-ya. People can say really hurtful things. Yoongi Hyung is just worried about you." RM reasoned with me, a hand on each shoulder.

I bit my lip and looked at Suga. Sighing I nodded my head glumly. This was going to be a challenge, but I'd try, for him. It was the least I could do after everything he did for me. Especially when dad lost his job.

"Which brings us back to our other problem." J-Hope started. "What do we tell A.R.M.Y. ?"

"We could always tell the truth, she's his best friend." V suggested. "Their must be enough evidence to prove this."

"I don't think that would be any different from what's already circulating." Jimin said shaking his head.

"How about if we say she's his cousin who came to visit and fell asleep with him because their were no free beds?" Jin suggested.

This time RM shook his head. "One of them could've easily taken the couch, I don't think that'd work."

"Yes but Suga wasn't asleep in the video, so we could make it look like she fell asleep while they were working together and Suga Hyung was too bored to move." Jin replied.

"I respect Eun-Ha's wish to stay out of the media, so let's just leave the rumour as exactly that, a rumour. It'll blow up eventually." Suga suggested looking at their PD.

"I think we should leave that up to Eun-Ha to decide." BangPD said, causing everyone's attention to divert to me.

I looked up from my shoes hearing my name.

"Look you don't have to do this if you don't want to." Suga took my hand, giving it a gentle squeeze with his words.

"If it helps, then I'll do anything." I told, squeezing his hands back as I smiled at BangPD. He was a good man, I'm sure whatever he decides will be what's best for the boys. For me too.

"Everyone gave their own ideas on what should be done, what do you think we should do?" BangPD asked.

I simply stared at him, not having any idea on what to do. They were the experts so I'd leave it to them to sort it out. Seems BangPD had other ideas.

"We'll do this the usual way. Talk among yourselves and decide how you all want this handle." He said nodding at all the boys and me. Then he motioned for everyone to clear out of the room.

Even Ha-neul left. Or had to leave since I didn't see her leaving. I was left alone with the boys. And all eyes were on me. Like BangPD said, they wanted to know what I wanted to do as well.

When I stayed silent, Suga sighed turning me to face him.

"Are you sure you want to do this?" He questioned, staring intently at my eyes. "Because everyone will know who you are then. Isn't that what you absolutely didn't want?"

"Yes, I mean no, I don't want that Oppa, but this is not simply about me anymore is it?" I asked him, casting a glance around to all the boys. "Earlier it was fine. Our relationship didn't affect your career or anything around us. This is different. This doesn't involve just the two of us, but all of you. And I don't want you to get hated on for a stupid misunderstanding. Especially if their is something I can do to help, then I will do it."

"What about yourself?" He questioned, cupping my face so I now directly looked at him.

"I can deal with it. It isn't like we did anything." I mumbled, casting my eyes down before looking back at him.

"So what do we do?" RM questioned, making us all turn to him.

"I don't care what Eun-Ha says. I'm still against putting her in the spotlight." Suga said firmly, crossing his hand across his chest.

He was too good at reading me. He saw the insecurities written all over my eyes. He knew I couldn't deal with this as brave as I was trying to be.

"Why? It's not a terrible idea." Jimin said, looking at me with a contemplative look.

"Because she doesn't want to be put in it." Suga replied tersely. Then sighing, he rubbed his face. "Look if I could introduce you all to Ha-neul, who I know through Eun-Ha, why do you think I never introduced any of you to her? She's been coming every Sunday to help out backstage for the last two years, I had enough opportunities to. I never did, because Eun-Ha didn't want to."

I looked down at the ground, feeling bad. I knew they were all good people with hearts of gold. My problem wasn't with them, it was with myself.

"Yes, she's a big fan of ours, I was surprised when I first found out too, because she was so adamant not to meet any of you. Then I hear her ringtone playing the chorus of war of hormones. And I actually checked her playlist to find every song we ever released in it. So I asked her if she was a fan why she refused to meet any of you.

Then she told me the reason... which is not for me to tell, but..."

"It's because I have had problems with social media before." I told before Suga could finish. He was trying to help me out, the least I could do was be honest. "No, it wasn't anything big and pretty stupid to begin with. It's the reason I didn't want to meet any of you. Because no matter how much we try, it would be rather inevitable to keep any friendship we form a secret. And the last thing I wanted was to be known to all of your fans, your A.R.M.Y. because, to be entirely honest, fans are always savage and downright scary."

"Are you sure you want to still do this then?" Jin asked me softly, his eyes filled with understanding.

"As I said, if it can help Suga Oppa, then I don't mind." I told without pausing to think. This was something I was absolutely sure about. No matter what happened after, no matter how much hate I receive from this, I wouldn't change my mind.

"Eun-Ha-ya, you are so kind." Jimin told me with a smile, wrapping his arm around my shoulder and pushing back his hair. "I think I'm falling in love with you."

My face resembled a strawberry at his words, and I looked at the ground. I couldn't hold back my smile though. Not because he said that, but because I knew he was teasing me by saying that.

"Maybe we should do what Yoongi Hyung said." Jungkook's soft voice piped up, drawing our gaze to him.

"Leave it unanswered?" J-Hope asked, a slight frown between his brows. The expression was new to me in his face. He was such a ball of sunshine in all their videos, and even when he greeted me in the vlog's Suga sent me.

"I agree with Jungkook. By answering aren't we adding fuel to fire. It looks suspicious when you answer an unasked question." V explained. "This way we can leave Eun-Ha out of anything media related. It's not like we aren't used to dealing with rumours."

"That's a good point. If no more content with Eun-Ha is released, the rumour will eventually die out as Yoongi Hyung said. We just have to be careful." Jimin, who still had his arm wrapped around my shoulder agreed with the younger pair.

"Don't you guys have a fan meeting next week?" I asked, furrowing my brows in thought. I couldn't place the exact date, but I knew there was one before or after their concert at the end of this week.

"Yes, the Sunday after the next." Jin nodded his head, looking at me in question.

"Someone will ask about this." I pointed out.

Widening their eyes in disbelief they looked at each other.

"I did not think of that." RM said, running a hand through his hair.

"What are we going to do?" Jungkook asked no one in particular, looking worried.

"What if we stick to the truth?" I suggested.

"Tell them who you are?" Suga questioned.

I nodded my head. "An old friend who was spending the night in your place."

"And why you two were sleeping together?" J-Hope questioned.

"She was helping his with his mixtape and fell asleep, but Hyung was bored to move away to work." V suggested.

"No!" I shouted. The exclamation leaving my lips with a jerk before I could stop myself. Feeling my face heat up for the hundredth time today, I tucked my hair back. Jimin leaning against my side wasn't helping.

"Everyone I know knows that I'm crap at holding a tune much less write or compose anything. I think it would be safe to leave music and me away from each other." I explained my sudden exclamation.

"Hmmm... how about if we were exchanging ideas for your graphic designing project? Along with ideas for our new album cover when you fell asleep?" Suga suggested looking thoughtful. He looked up at us for approval when he was done.

RM was the first to nod his head and the others soon followed, agreeing with Suga's idea.

"If we're all good, then let's tell BangPD and get everything sorted out." RM suggested giving a dimpled smile to everyone.
