Tae: *The boys are all doing their own thing so I don't want to bother them except Jimin. He's not really doing much.*

Tae: *walks out if his room and knocks on Jimin's bedroom door*

Jimin: come in

Tae: *opens the door* hyung, do you want to come with me somewhere?

Jimin: ..where?

Tae: LFTM residence

Jimin: .....

Tae: ....

Jimin: you're going?

Tae: Luma invited me before we entered the restaurant

Jimin: what rest–oh earlier today. Waaaiiiit, she's talking to you!?

Tae: *nods*

Jimin: you're going to explain everything to her?

Tae: *nods*

Jimin: alright, I'll come along. *stands up from his bed, grabs his jacket, puts on shoes and they both walk out*

Vmin arrive at the girls' house and are in the first living room with Luma and the 3 dogs

Luma: *petting the puppy which is on her lap*

Jimin: *petting the medium sized doggo*

Tae: *petting the larger doggo*

All: *smiling*

Luma: do you guys want anything to drink or..?

Tae: I'm fine, thank you.

Jimin: mmm, I can go get it myself. Thank you. Leave you two to talk. *gets up and the two doggos start following him. The puppy fell asleep on Luma's lap. Goes upstairs*

Luma: so..what is it you have to explain?

Tae: it's about the whole situation

Luma: which?

Tae: Yeona and all that

Luma: oh..

Tae: it's not what it seems at all

Luma: so you're not dating her?

Tae: yes and no

Luma: yes and no?

Tae: just..hear me out.

Luma: okay..

Tae: the man that filled in as manager while Hobeom hyung went on vacation that was also in charge while CEO-nim had an emergency and was out for a couple days..remember him?

Luma: *rolls eyes* yes, I remember him.

Tae: he's the reason this all happened.

Luma: what..?

Tae: Yeona's management proposed a deal with the fill-in manager with a contract involved. So, the proposition was that the fill-in manager will get 13 million won, if Yeona dates one of the BTS members for a full year in order to try and make her more famous. To Yeona, preferably me. *sighs* he of course, signed it.

Luma: *at a loss of words* wha-wha-what? But..what? For a year? So he gets his money after a year?

Tae: no, he got his money after the first week.

Luma: he's not even an actual–what the fuck?

Tae: and we can't break the contract..

Luma: why not?

Tae: CEO-nim tried to but Yeona's management threatened us, to ruin BTS' image, LFTM's image, HOMME's image, along with BigHit Entertainment.

Luma: why didn't CEO-nim or Hobeom oppa tell us about this?

Tae: they thought it would be best for one of us, preferably me to tell at least one of you.

Luma: and you were trying to tell us from the beginning...

Tae: I was..I don't have feelings for Yeona and I never will. Yeona takes this "relationship" too seriously and–and....*sighs, holds the bridge of his nose*

Luma: *sits next to him and rubs circles on his back* you're in love with Zahara, aren't you?

Tae: *lets go of the bridge of his nose, looking down at the ground, reminiscing the moments he has spent with Zahara. He stays quiet and without realizing, he's tearing up and begins to slowly nod* I am..I'm in love with her.

Jimin: *heard everything and sits by the other side of him, patting his back* you finally admit it.

Tae: *a few tears of rolled down, sniffles as he wipes them away* but my relationship with her is ruined..

Jimin: Luma..are you going to tell Zahara?

Luma: I'll tell the rest of the girls..except Zahara. This is something Taehyung should explain to her because if I or one of the other girls explain to her, she may or may not be hurt by the fact that we told her instead of you telling her.

Tae: I can't even tell her because–

Luma: she's being a stubborn bitch

Vmin: ....

Luma: what? It's true. There are other things that have happened that ended up having me or one of the other girls yell this at her.

Vmin: yell?

Luma: we've had several arguments..things are different. We never argued over..something big. We've had little arguments here and there but nothing huge. We've always got along without each other...Ever since that day Zahara witnessed Yeona and you kissing–

Tae: about that, Yeona kissed me, I didn't kiss back. She was begging me to kiss her when we just met an hour before. She was saying stuff like "but that's what couples do" and blah blah blah. NOT that I would want to kiss her now or later on but you know what I mean.

Luma: she has never been the same............................I'm this close *lifts up her fingers that nearly pinching together* to committing my first two crimes. One, is murdering Yeona. The second, murdering that fill-in fucking manager.

Jimin: I'll help.

Tae: ............what they have done is wrong but they don't deserve death for it.

Luma: I was just joking but I'm so fucking angry! *puppy stirs awake* oh..sorry Sprinkle. *pets the puppy and she falls asleep again*

Tae: what has happened is an illegal deal especially more that the fill-in manager isn't one of our actual managers and did it without CEO-nim's consent. Even though the fill-in manager isn't here anymore, CEO-nim knows where he is and what he's doing. Right after this contract ends..I think you know where it'll head.

Luma: that's so long from now though.

Tae: just like Hobeom hyung tells me, we're halfway through this, it's almost over.

Luma: that's true..but–

Tae: but you don't know how Zahara will be by the time it's over.

Luma: yeah..

Tae: how much has she..changed?

Luma: well, what I told you really. Whenever she's here, she doesn't really speak much anymore. She's always exhausted and just rests. She'll speak more whenever we are in public and when we're in the studio she'll be..more antisocial. As you know, she's been spending more time in America. We know what she's doing work wise but other than that, we don't know what's going on with her..I just hope she's not going back to how she was a few years ago.

Vmin: what do you mean...?

Luma: she didn't tell you guys about how she was throughout high school, did she?

Tae: not really

Luma: *takes a deep breath* during her last year of middle school, close to the end of it..Zahara...smoked marijuana for the first time and she liked it. Eventually, that like turned into love and she smoked nearly everyday before school and after and more on. Throughout her time in high school, when she would go, Zahara also went to parties a lot more and she would smoke and drink. The group of friends she'd always be hanging around with in high school, all smoked and all drank already when Zahara didn't but..yanno. Zahara stopped when she came to Seoul. I mean, nothing bad happened..well, the drugs never ended up making her ill or anything but she would do it to relieve herself from well, Brian and other problems she had throughout high school. The girls and I have met that group of friends, they are all really good people and really care for each, they aren't bad–Listen back to some of the tracks on her mixtape, with actually saying it, she's saying it. Listen to her songs and really listen carefully, think about it, all her songs have a memory of hers within them. Zahara told us that each song that she has made and will make has a message within them, a message she gives to her younger self and one for her future self. Zahara's mind is very complex and of course her songs have messages for the fans and all but still.

Vmin: .....

Jimin: wow..

Tae: I..never knew that. I never knew that she smoked or drank. She never told me about how she was in high school other than the fights. She would never..talk about it....and now I know why. I knew her songs had a significant meaning but I never knew it..in that sort of way.

Luma: *just nods*

Jimin: do you..think it's what she's doing when she's not in Korea?

Luma: I have no idea, but I hope not.

Tae: who else knows about how Zahara was in high school?

Luma: she was more lowkey about it but if when someone asked her, she had no shame in telling them she did so but her group of friends she was always with, Victoria, the girls and I, Jackson, Vernon, mm I think Jungha, Myungdae, Eunsook knows, I can't remember if the rest of 2x2 knows. Uhm, maybe Yoongi?

Jimin: Yoongi hyung?

Luma: *nods*

Tae: *eyebrows furrow* who's Myungdae?

Luma: *eyes widen as she realizes she said the name*

Vmin: *look at her and then at each other*

Luma: *shrugs* might as well tell you. Myungdae, he's the guy with the "unknown identity" that has been in some of Zahara's music videos.

Jimin: ......are they dating?

Luma: nah, at least from my knowledge.

Tae: do you know if she likes him in that way?

Luma: I mean, from before when we'd talk more a few months back, she didn't. I have no idea about now..but I doubt it. Even though the way their friendship is says otherwise, I doubt she likes him in that way.

Tae: *nods understanding what she says but eyebrows still furrowed because he's also puzzled by her statement*

Jimin: what do you mean their friendship says otherwise?

Luma: it's very..playful. It's like the friendship she has with Vernon and Jackson combined.

Jimin: jeez

Tae: ....he was the one here taking care of the dogs right?

Luma: yeah..he's the one driving the girls to the airport.

Tae: oh..

Luma: I'm sure he's going back home straight after dropping the girls back off over here though.

Jimin: mm.

Luma: are you going to stay until the girls get here and tell them yourself?

Tae: I don't think so..I don't know.

Luma: if you'd like to, you're both more than welcomed to.

Tae: *looks at Jimin*

Jimin: don't look at me, this is your choice.

Tae: *looks at Luma* what do you recommend?

Luma: Although it'll be a bit scary at first, I recommend you waiting for the rest of the girls.
