Chapter 10: 'I thought what we had won't change'
~A few days back before the wedding~
Sofia collapsed on the ground, with Vincent and other members of their group right after their practice as Sofia stared sullenly at the ground. How many times had J-hope intrude on their practice just for them to have a silly dance-off which ended up in a cuddle session. Tears began to built up behind her eyes as Vincent patted her shoulder. "Hey, you good?" He asked softly, not sure on how to comfort her.
Sofia nodded and turned away as Vincent fidgeted with his hands before patting her back and before he knew it, she had begun crying. Sofia angrily swiped her tears as she stood up and ran out the door, heading towards Bang PD's office as she swung the door open. Bang PD looked up unfazed as he smirked and went back to his papers.
"You ruined my life." Sofia exclaimed angrily as Bang PD chuckled before gesturing to himself questioningly. "Me? I gave you the choice to spend time with him and then I let you debut. How did I ruin your life?" Sofia's blood boiled at Bang PD feigning innocence, she slammed her hands on the table in front of him with exasperation as he merely laughed.
"Oh sweet, naive Sofia. You have no idea what I did for you, do you? Your career is flourishing now and you really think he would have stayed with you? He could find someone much better! So can you, now that you're a famous idol! You should be thankful of me!" Bang PD snapped as Sofia stared at him in disbelief.
She had finally learned the harsh truth of being an idol.
~Present~
J-hope stared at ground, falling apart and lost in his thoughts as Emily winced. She knew how much he was hurting but she also didn't know how to help him. "J-hope oppa.." Emily muttered before he pulled Emily into a hug and silently wept. "What did I do wrong?" He muttered through his tears in between sobs as Emily sighed and stroked his back.
The others gathered around and comforted J-hope as the rest of the girls went after Sofia. Sheri nudged Emily subtly for more information as Emily mouthed. "She shoved the bouquet to me and ran off." Sheri's eyes widened as she patted J-hope's back. "J-hope oppa, it'll be okay. They're going to get Sofia right now and you two can talk." Emily offered as J-hope sobbed harder.
Emily winced at his reaction as Jin's clasped her hand. "Just let him cry it all out." Jin mouthed as she hugged J-hope tighter. Her heart broke seeing the man she considered as a close brother fall apart in front of her and she isn't able to help him.
Natalie, Joanna, Teresa and Mella ran after Sofia whom collapsed on to the hallway, convulsing heavily with her shaking shoulders. The girls stopped mid-way hearing Sofia's cries and rushed to comfort her. "Yah, what's wrong? You haven't been yourself lately and now you just abandoned J-hope like that? Do you know how hurt he is? He's crying!" Joanna scolded in exasperation as Sofia bit whilst tears flowing down her cheeks furiously.
"Do I know how much he's hurting? I'm hurting far more than he is!" Sofia yelled as she clutched her heart, her emotional pain slowly turned into physical as she wept even more, wishing to erase all her memories and feelings. 'Why did we have to meet?' Sofia thought in pain as Mella rushed to hug her tight.
Bang PD's harsh words had brought out her insecurities along with his threats to cut J-hope off of BTS was a horror for her. Even if he chose to be with her, she knew one day he would resent her for the result of the decision. She was terrified of the day that he would hate her.
Mella's eyes watered, seeing her friend break down as she embraced her tighter. Hoping to ease some of the pain as Sofia buried her face into Mella's shoulder. She desperately hoped with all her that it was J-hope there comforting her instead of Mella, but she knew she was wishing for the impossible.
The rest finally went home as they boarded separate cars to avoid Sofia and J-hope bumping into each other. Sheri and Namjoon sighed deeply as they rested in the car's leather seat. "Wow." Sheri mumbled, sad for Sofia and J-hope, yet also a little peeved that her special day that was meant to be joyful and peaceful was ruined with news of Sofia and J-hope's relationship. "It's okay, our honeymoon will make up for it." Namjoon whispered in her ear as Sheri smiled wistfully.
Jin tightly held Emily against him as he stroked her hair, gazing out the window. He was lost and confused as to how Sofia and J-hope relationship had suddenly shifted into such a horrible direction. They were happy together just few weeks ago and now Sofia suddenly ran off on J-hope.
Emily gripped his thigh and frowned as she looked up at Jin. "I'm scared for J-hope and Sofia. You know how Bang PD can be, maybe he was behind this?" Emily whispered as Jin's eyes widened and held a finger against her lip.
"Jagi, you mustn't make such assumptions out loud without evidence." Jin warned as he sneakily stole glances at the staff that carpooled with them. He was on the edge, having no idea which one of them could snitch to Bang PD and get Emily into trouble.
Mella and Yoongi texted each other, giving the other updates about J-hope or Sofia's state of mind or condition. "I have this strong feeling Bang PD is behind this. Since he's the one that had made a huge deal about us BTS members dating. He probably J-hope or Sofia hell for dating when the other had just begun as an idol." Yoongi texted as Mella frowned and stole glances at Sofia.
Sofia stared out the window, coincidentally the other's car caught up with their car. Sofia and J-hope locked gaze, his sparkling eyes that shimmered with pain and hope that broke Sofia's heart even further. Neither could bring themselves to break the eye contact until Sofia quickly looked away and tried to hide her crying figure. J-hope worriedly sat up in his seat, hoping to catch sight of Sofia. Did he lose her already? Was this the end of their relationship?
Teresa and Jungkook had board in the same car as Sofia and the others as they talked quietly. "Is Sofia okay? I don't know if J-hope hyung has stopped crying yet." Jungkook whispered as Teresa frowned. "I can't believe Bang PD could possibly do this to them." Teresa whispered as Jungkook eagerly nodded and agreed with her.
They dropped Sofia off at her apartment and so on while the others gathered at the dorm. "I'm gonna go to my room. I want to be alone for a bit." J-hope mumbled as they nodded at him. J-hope trudged to his room with a heavy heart as he dialed Sofia's number.
Jin and Natalie helped ease Emily onto the couch as she sighed. No matter how she tried to protest, they all refused to let her move without assistance. "You're clumsy and you're pregnant at the moment, so no." Jin and Natalie said in unison as Emily sighed.
Sheri and Namjoon sat next to Teresa and Jungkook while Namjoon accidentally tripped on Jungkook's shoelace which caused him to fall and they turned, making him land on Sheri as their heads collided. "Ah! Ugh!! Namjoon oppa, you're so clumsy. What would've happened if I was pregnant?" Sheri scolded in annoyance as the others laughed heartily despite the moody situation. Namjoon smiled sheepishly and caressed Sheri's bruised forehead. "Sorry Jagi~. You know how clumsy I am." Namjoon apologized as Sheri softened.
"Leave it to Namjoon oppa to get Sheri riled up." Emily joked as Namjoon playfully glared at her. "Shh!!!" Namjoon held a finger to his lips as Emily stifled her laughter. "So I guess you and Taehyung are a couple now?" Jungkook asked Joanna teasingly as she smacked him on the shoulder.
Taehyung chuckled and held Joanna's hand as she blushed and rested her head against his shoulder. "Ah too cute!!!" Mella cooed as Yoongi smiled and cuddled against her. "We're cute too~." He pouted as Mella giggled. "Yes you're the cutest."
Natalie and Jimin played with each others' hands as she giggled. "Jimin oppa, your hands are so small." Natalie cooed in amazement as she suddenly felt the urge to kiss his tiny hands as Jimin blushed and smiled cutely. "Ah Natalie, what are you doing~?" Jimin asked shyly as Natalie blushed and tried to move away. "No no stay here." Jimin held her in place as he leaned in close and gingerly pecked her lips as Natalie smiled against his lips.
"Get a room!!" Everyone shouted playfully as Jimin and Natalie blushed, pulling her into his room as Natalie giggled and followed him. "Aish, we get more privacy in here anyways." Jimin mumbles as he interlaced their hand and pulled her to face him. "You like me?" Natalie asked, hopefully and bashfully as Jimin smirked and pulled her in for another kiss.
Natalie reluctantly pulled away for breath as she noticed his bright pink cheeks. "Does that answer your question?" Jimin asked breathlessly as Natalie nodded and hugged him tightly.
Sofia slumped onto her couch as her eyes burned with angry tears. She had chosen her career over him, she knew it was her fault but did she ever had a chance to try to make things with J-hope? Bang PD had interfered with their relationship at the first chance he got.
"Hobi oppa, I'm so sorry. I hurt you." Sofia mumbled as she buried her face into a pillow and wept until she heard a knock on her door.
She rushed to the door while swiftly wiping her tears as she opened the door and her heart stopped. "J-hope oppa.." J-hope stood in the threshold, looking disheveled and angry that was mixed with pain. He stormed in and cupped Sofia's face before pulling her into a passionate and tearful kiss.
Sofia had tried to resist and push him away but his tenderness despite his anger had weakened her resolve and he was simply too strong for her to fight against when he had made it clear that he wouldn't let her go. Sofia eventually gave in and responded to his kiss as J-hope pulled her closer and caressed her cheeks.
J-hope pulled away for air as he rested his forehead against hers. Breathing heavily, as he questioned her. "Why have you been avoiding me?"
