Sofia's eyes were bloodshot and watery as the girls ran to her. "Hey, hey what's wrong?" Emily asked as she patted Sofia's hair while wrapping an arm around her shoulders. "I tried to make amends for my actions but it triggered him of the painful memories so he walked out." Sofia mumbled as she swiftly swiped at her tears, and wrapped all the girls into a hug.

The boys' resolve cracked as they slowly made their way over to the sobbing Sofia. "Was it Bang PD?" Yoongi asked quietly as Sofia's eyes widened at Yoongi's words. "How did you know?" Yoongi chuckled at Sofia's surprise. "Come on, we've all been in BigHit for years, besides he recently tried to tear apart Emily and Jin." Yoongi said as Sofia's eyes widened before gripping Emily's arm as form of comfort. Emily nodded with soft smile as she hugged Sofia tight.

"You need to tell Hobi oppa that, or this misunderstanding would only be dragged out longer." They all chimed in as Sofia sighed, before pulling away from Emily's hold. " I doubt he'd believe me and just now I tried to talk to him about it, he immediately became defensive." Sofia said, wiping her tears and clenching her teeth to prevent the flow of more tears. "Aish Bang PD is hurting everybody." Namjoon complained as Sheri leaned onto his chest, nodding her head to display her agreement. "I'm gonna go talk to him tomorrow!" Sofia exclaimed in anger as the others chimed with her.

Teresa and Jungkook had joined the others at the dorm, hoping to coax J-hope into listening to Sofia for the reason why she left him. Chae Young clung to Suho like glue as he smiled and shyly pecked her cheek. Emily cheered silently in happiness as she observed Suho and Chae Young before nudging Sheri. "Your son be making his moves on my daughter, what is that? How dare he?" Emily joked as Sheri laughed heartily and observed the kids.

It was evident how much the kids enjoyed each others' company. "Chae Young, I got this flower for you." Suho announced cutely and softly handing the flower in his chubby, tiny hand to Chae Young. She smiled sweetly and hugged him tightly in gratitude as the adults looked on in awe at their innocent courtship.

The group had arrived at the dorm as Natalie and Jimin, Joanna and Taehyung advanced to the couch and collapsed for they had been messing around throughout the whole 4 hours of the party until then. Jin and Emily had interlaced their hands with Chae Young in the middle as they smiled sweetly at each other.

Jin silently vowed to himself that he would never let himself commit another mistake that would cost him Emily and his adorable princess. His unexpected act of leaning over to peck Emily's cheek had caught her off-guard as she stared at him in shock and delight. "I love you." Emily mouthed which Jin happily repeated the words back to her.

Yoongi had very hesitantly agreed to carry Mella over the threshold while Mella giggled and buried her face into his shoulder. Despite how reluctant he was, her smile had made everything worth it. Yoongi stroked her arm as he eased her onto the couch before collapsing beside her and resting his head on her shoulder. " So.." Yoongi began awkwardly as the others couldn't stifle their laughter. "Let's try to talk to J-hope oppa." Emily said in between laughter but her laughter fell short as her eyes met with Sofia's.

Teresa and Sheri pulled her over to the couch before gently dropping her onto the couch. "I'll go get Hobi oppa." Emily said as she walked to his room. "Emily-." Sofia tried to protest but Emily wouldn't hear it.

J-hope sat wallowing in his own misery at his second encounter with Sofia in such a short amount of time. ' Damn, I still miss her so much.' J-hope thought as a single tear drop fell from his eyes as his heart clenched with emotion. Emily had just got ready to knock until Jimin, Natalie, Taehyung, and Joanna suddenly appeared beside her. "Woah, what are you guys doing?" Emily whispered as their solemn faces slightly softened. "We want to help Sofia and J-hope, they can't end up like this. They're meant to be together." They said as Emily smiled brightly at them.

"This is why we're friends." Emily cheered before knocking on the door. They heard J-hope's grunt before the door gave way and disheveled J-hope appeared. "Hobi oppa..." Emily called out sadly, his haggard appearance scared her and broke her heart as she reached out to him. " Can we come in?" Emily asked and gestured to the gang as he nodded.

"So did you guys need something?" J-hope mumbled as the others glared at his hopeless expression and seemingly to have given up on life. "What is this?" Jimin asked as he gestured to the mess in the room. Clothes and photo albums of Sofia and J-hope were scattered around the room, some were ripped and the others were simply crumbled but it was evident how J-hope's state of mind was. "What is what? The love of my life simply dumped me and moved on. What did I do wrong??" Emily was terrified at J-hope's callousness, had he given up completely on what he loved and treasured?

"J-hope oppa, you're not stupid. There's no way you believe her excuse for leaving you, right? Now will you please just go out there and listen to her side of the story? I'm begging you, J-hope oppa." Emily said exasperatedly as J-hope's face finally softened. " You know Sofia would never say that, right? She loves you too much to do so." Joanna and Taehyung chimed as Natalie gripped his hand. "Sofia loves you more than life itself. Please at least try to listen to her side?" Natalie pleaded as J-hope sighed and caved in.

"Okay, okay. I'll try and listen to her side of the story." J-hope announced as he slowly trudged out of his room. Sofia sat on the couch, expectantly and anxiously as suddenly her eyes met with J-hope. He still looked as handsome and muscular as the day she first came across him in a picture on social media.

"J-hope.." Sofia muttered as instinctively her legs moved on its own accord right up to J-hope whom couldn't calm his erratic beating heart at suddenly being so close to her again. Although his guard was up, he still missed her and wanted her in his arms.

"So you have a reason for just suddenly leaving me last year?" J-hope asked, hurt at the sad memory and paranoid that she could be lying once again. "Bang PD threatened to destroy and fire SVTM if I didn't break up with you. I thought he would make up some excuse to you but turns out he left me the decision to break it to you. I'm so sorry J-hope oppa, everyday of my life my mind always recurs back to the day I left you. It was the the worst mistake of my life." Sofia said in tears and exasperation, as J-hope's face visibly falters.

"Is this true? But so your career meant more than me? Oh wait, you've clearly made your decision, SVTM matters more." J-hope said, cynically and biting as Sofia's eyes blinked away unshed tears to steady herself, hoping it was all just a dream but his cold and hateful expression proved her wrong.

Emily unconsciously reached out to J-hope, but his rage was also released on her. "What are you doing!? You promised you would listen to her side of the story!" Emily said as J-hope scoffed. "Yeah I listened and realized it was all just BS. What, your better option left you and that made you come running back to me?" J-hope attacked, coldly and mercilessly as Sofia's heart broke even further. It was no joke that even the sweetest person could be as cold as ice when hurt.

"Besides, how can I tell she isn't just lying to get back into my good graces? I've been hurt once and that's more than enough." J-hope muttered angrily as he stalked off into his room. Teresa and Jungkook reached out to hold Sofia as they all stared in shock at J-hope's outburst.

~The Next Day~
Bang PD sat in his swivel chair, glancing outside as his hand grazed the incriminating picture of Namjoon and Taehyun fighting in his office over Sheri. The temptation to release the picture as threat for Namjoon to leave Sheri was huge but at the same time, something in him stopped him from doing so. Jungkook, Sofia, and Jin had given him the cold shoulder after what he had done, and it has yet to cease to surprise him how they immediately found out he schemed the whole thing.

Should he continue to do so? Would all of BTS end up leaving the company? But more than that, they were almost as his sons. His seven sons that he nurtured and groomed for years, the thought of losing them scared him. Amidst his thought of making amends, Sofia stormed in and slammed the door behind her. "What kind of monster are you!? You threatened me and forced me to tell J-hope myself why we couldn't be together any longer! Now he hates me! I hope you're happy because he certainly isn't happy with you either!"

Sofia screamed in anger as she bit her lip to hold her tears back. She refused to display her weak side in front of the very man that tore apart her relationship with the man she loved more than life itself. Her anger had made an impact on him as it dawned on him what he did wouldn't flourish the boys' career, it would only make them hate him and eventually leave the company. "Sofia.." Sofia's eyes shot up in anger at his voice.

"Don't say another word..unless you truly mean to make amends for what you had done to J-hope and me." Sofia muttered bitterly as Bang PD's face contorted in guilt. "I'll fix it, I promise."

Sofia was caught off-guard at his readiness to make amends that she made her narrow her eyes at him. "The catch is for you to forgive me after all this is over." Bang PD said sincerely that made Sofia soften but she just wasn't ready to forgive him.

Bang PD had invited J-hope out after nearly a whole hour of persuasion, coaxing and pleading that J-hope finally agreed. "Did you need something, Sir?" J-hope remained polite but his voice had openly expressed annoyance and uncomfortableness. 'Great job I had caused this.' Bang PD scolded himself hopelessly as he cleared his throat. "I called you out because I wanted to make amends for what I had done to you and Sofia, along with the others. Sofia was telling the truth that I had broke you two apart. I even threatened her that I would kick you out of BTS." Bang PD sighed to himself after confessing everything.

However J-hope's face darkened with anger and guilt. He had blindly blamed Sofia for hurting him without bothering to find out the truth as to why she had done so. " I can't believe you could possibly do this to us." J-hope muttered before running out, making his way towards Sofia's apartment until he bumped into her right in the streets. "Jagi!" J-hope called out dramatically and loudly that surprised even Sofia as he eagerly pulled her into his arms tightly. "I'm...I'm so sorry....I-Please forgive me.." J-hope wasn't sure when he had begun crying but all he felt was Sofia's warm embrace and her whispers in his ear, assuring him that nothing tear them apart again.
