January 30, 2020

Why are classes so tiring? I felt like my brain was going to explode after a long day of listening to my professors' drone on and on and giving assignments left and right. One of the only positive side to it all is that Olivia, Macy and I managed to have a class together despite being in different majors.

It was an hour filled with hushed whispers and held back laughs, it didn't help that it was an art class where all we had to do was look for interpretations. Olivia being her usual self came up with the most hilarious interpretations triggering Macy and I's laugh.

Right after that class it was lunch time and as soon as the professor dismissed us, we ran to the cafeteria before the rush hour truly began. It was fun until Youngjin joined us, reminding me he started college and attended the same university I did. Anyway, the rest of the day was just me, myself and I trying my best to focus on class.

Getting home and changing into comfortable clothes I got some homework done while I felt motivated and before the procrastination kicked in. Like clockwork, it began with answering a text from Taehyung, then calling my mom, and finally getting lost in tiktok. Yes, I had downloaded it again after the Jimin/Taehyung incident. I just had to be more careful with who I sent them too, a lesson learned the hard way.

"Hey sis," Jin said, walking into my room and dropping in the bed. I hadn't heard him when he got home from class.

"Sup."

"What are you making for dinner?" he asked, throwing me one of the plushies I had on the bed.

"Mom's not cooking?" I said, catching the plushie with a humph. Did he want to knock me out or something, why throw it with so much force?

"No, she's going out to dinner with dad."

"A heads up would've been nice," I mumbled, throwing the stuffed Koya back into the bed.

"They did tell you, but you were too busy talking to Taehyung," he responded saying my boyfriends name in a high pitched tone.

"Was not," I insisted, not wanting to admit he was right.

"Yeah, you were," he argued back, furrowing his eyebrows like a little kid. 

"No."

"Yes."

"No," I fought, standing up from the desk chair.

"Yes," he once again said, looking straight into my eyes.

It was sad I couldn't intimidate him anymore now that he was taller than me and not a 10-year-old. I had to change tactics, "Shut up or I'll leave you with no food."

That shut him up as he raised up his palms in defense. Downstairs I raided the fridge looking for anything to cook, but there was barely anything. It made sense, it was Thursday and my parents usually went to grocery shop on Saturdays. All that was left from the week were some leftovers and foods that would not make good combinations.

"Youngjin!" I yelled, calling him downstairs.

"What?" he asked, going down the stairs and appearing in the kitchen entrance.

"In N Out? On me?" I offered with a knowing smile.

"I'll get the keys," he excitedly said.

Putting on our shoes in record time and getting in my car we drove off to our nearest In N Out. We went through the drive though, ordered our food, and parked to eat our food in the comfort of my car with the radio on. There was something about eating in a car I enjoyed, it was weird.

"I want my own car, why haven't mom and dad gotten me one?" Youngjin whined while eating his fries, "You got one when you graduated, why didn't I?"

It was true a car was my graduation present but only because it was necessary. I was going to college and since I wasn't staying close to the  University I needed to get myself there somehow.

"I think dad wants a new car and when he does get it, he'll give you his old one," I told him, sipping on my soda.

"Really?" he gasped, "I love that car."

"Be patient you'll get your car," I winked at him knowing my parents plan to give him a car. 

He stared at me with a perplexed look, smiling when he noticed I wasn't joking. The rest of the night he spent it rambling in my ear, trying to get me to tell him all the details. It made me regret telling him anything at all.

The next day with Friday upon us the girls and I decided to hang out after college to make sure we were prepared for the anniversary which was on Sunday. They were obviously going to the party since Olivia and her family were part of my family and Macy was dating my brother although she would've been invited anyways.

We made sure our dresses and shoes fit right, found accessories to use, and decided which hairstyles and makeup looks to use, overall, it was the best time I could ask for. I was living every girly girl's dream of playing dress up and playing with makeup.

"Are you guys done? I want to hang out with my girlfriend," Youngjin busted into the room with an annoyed face.

"What girlfriend? For tonight you're nothing to each other," Olivia told him as serious as can be, not a trace of humor on her face.

"It's a girl's night, no boys allowed," I shooed him away.

Hopelessly he directed his gaze at his girlfriend, "Macy?"

Macy stayed silent, avoiding his eyes. Glad to know she still respected girl's night. As the saying goes 'Chicks before dicks.'

"I guess I better change my Facebook status to single," he pouted, "Grandma will be sad to hear about this," he then pointed at her, striding out of the room. 

"He takes after Grandma Choi," I explained to which they ah'd in understanding. Out of my grandparents, she was the most dramatic and she passed the gene onto my brother.

"Yeah, I was going to say," Olivia nodded, laying back down on my bed.

"Anyways," I dragged out, "I'm excited, Taehyung's coming to the anniversary."

"That's sweet," Macy cheered from beside me. I was lucky I had a queen-sized bed, or we wouldn't fit. All of my plushie's took so much space as it was they were spilling into the floor.

"Yeah, for you two because you have boyfriends," Olivia huffed out, crossing her arms. It's not my fault she's single, although, she didn't look so single making out with Jimin in the ice room.

"Don't be bitter," Macy teased her, "Besides, what about Jeremy?"

"What about him?"

"Nothing's happened? After New York?" I added to Macy's statement.

"Nope, just friends," Olivia stood her ground, choosing to munch on the Doritos she had refused to bring up to the room earlier. The audacity she had to eat my Doritos, my favorite, when there were Cheetos too. 

"Sounds familiar, like I've heard it before, or said it," I snapped, snatching the bag of family sized Doritos from her hands.

"Whatever put the movie in already," she whined, kicking her feet on the bed.

Rolling my eyes, I pressed play on the remote the familiar movie lighting up the room instantly, "Twilight here we come."

"This movie sucks," Olivia grumbled, still pouty about our Jeremy questioning. 

"Yet you can recite every word of it," Macy giggled, snuggling up to my side.

Olivia humphed getting comfortable on my other side and hugging to her chest a Chimmy plushie.

Somewhere along the third movie all three of us had fallen asleep. The cold air from the AC and our stomachs filled with pizza being the ones to blame. This happened each and every time we did a girl's night, and no one did anything to stop it because it was perfect. It was fun to spend the night with your friends without having to worry to go home or school or whatever was bothering you.

The shrill of Olivia's phone woke me up at around 1 am, it was blowing up with twitter notifications. I was too tired to unlock it and check was the fuss was about, instead I shook Olivia out of her deep sleep and handed her the phone.

"Turn off that phone," Macy mumbled, sinking her head back onto the pillow.

Silence overcame the room again and as I was falling back to sleep Olivia gasped and shot up in the bed.

"Nari, you should see this," Olivia shook my arm.

"I'll see it in the morning Liv," Groggily, I muttered, turning to the other side.

"No Nari, wake up this is important look," she urged me, shoving the phone in my hands.

"What is it?" Eyes squinting, I read the opened news article on Olivia's phone. The title and the first picture alone left me wide awake, back straitening and body tensing. My eyes skimmed through the sentences in a fast pace absorbing all the allegations it made. The tension in the room could be cut with a knife and sensing it Macy got up to and read the article through my shoulder.

My Idol, My ARMY, A Story Straight Out of a Drama

Updated January 30th, 2020 GMT

With the month of February right around the corner love is in the air, especially for BTS's very own V. The idol (26) has been seen in Seoul many times accompanied by a fellow ARMY that goes by the name of Seong Nari (22). Sources say they have been dating since the summer and that they are more than they seem.

'Dispatch' witnessed numerous secret meetings between V and Nari. They usually met at V's home in Samseong-dong. The luxury apartment in Gangnam served as the best hiding place for them with no band mates or unwanted company around.

While the building is not in a gated community it does count with controlled access to the main building and an independent private parking system that was used in their endeavors most of the times. There is also a private elevator that goes to the penthouse directly from the parking lot. It is fully private with no need to go outside and risk being seen.

Their routine revolved around BTS's schedule. Whenever V didn't have a compromise with BTS he'd be seen staying in his apartment where a driver would soon drop off Nari. In other cases he himself would go pick her up from her dorm. During their month-long break the meetings became more frequent and extended out of the apartment with V taking her to expensive restaurants in Namsan Tower.

The relationship between the two is an open secret within BigHit. Firstly, the company's driver would pick her up a lot of times. Secondly, she was seen entering the back door to the stadium where they performed their last show of the 'Speak Yourself Tour' which could explain why he was more happy and outgoing than usual, as pointed out by fans. Lastly, in December while they were in New York they were spotted celebrating his birthday along with the rest of BTS.

Dating rumors surrounding V had flared up in October when a purple mark had been spotted in his lower abdominal area. It was quickly dismissed when BigHit did not release any type of statement and fans disregarded it as part of his skin condition. Guess the others were right about being caused by another thing...or person.

More recently a few days ago on the 27th after their Grammy appearance, they were spotted walking hand-in-hand into the hotel BTS is currently staying in.

One close official told 'Dispatch' that "This relationship has been going on since May and everyone important in BigHit and close to them are knowledgeable about the situation". Another said that the young couple is "already engaged and waiting for the perfect moment to have a ceremony". Upon closer investigation it was found that idol V has been recently wearing a ring on his fourth finger and has not been seen without it since December. To further solidify this Seong Nari was also caught wearing a matching ring.

BTS has been one of the only K-pop groups to stay away from dating rumors, but we have finally caught up to them catching them red handed with more than enough evidence. Congratulations to the new couple!

I felt as if somebody had thrown a bucket of ice cold water at my head leaving me drenched in terror. My bones shook at what Dispatch had released into the world; I was not expecting this at all. We had been followed for months and neither of us had noticed. It was clear that a lot of the information Dispatch had released was incorrect, but the overall message was there. Kim Taehyung was taken...by me. What am I supposed to do now?

"Nari, are you okay?" Macy softly spoke beside me, but in my head, it was a muffled sound. 

I shook my head reading again through the article for anything I had missed hoping this was all a dream. Olivia and Macy stood by me assuring me everything would be okay, however, in my mind, there was only one person who could do that, Kim Taehyung. I debated on calling him or waiting for him to call me, but while I decided my phone lit up from its place in the tangled sheets.

I ruffled through the sheets untangling the phone from their grasp and pressing on the green button.

"Taehyung," I breathlessly answered, hands shaking.

"Nari, have you seen?" he desperately asked, concern in his voice.

"Yes, I did."

"Don't worry okay, we'll figure something out," he told me although it sounded it was reassurance for himself too.

"I'm afraid there isn't much to figure out Tae," I shakily said, eyes watery, "The decision was made for us."

"Listen is it okay if I go over there along with Manager Sejin to talk about what just happened? We still have options Nari, and we'll go through each and every one till we find one we like."

"That would be great," I nodded, biting my lips to hold back all that I was feeling. 

"I'll see you soon flower, everything will be okay, trust me," he sweetly said.

"I trust you."

The girls had heard the conversation and were staring at me worriedly. All that was left to do was wake up my parents and tell them company was coming. Girl's night was ruined.

A/N:

I'm baaackkk!

You guys already know me and my thing for editing pictures lol.

The world found out about them dating. How will Nari and Tae take it? Will it have a toll in their relationship?
