Bad news from the Embassy and now this...

"No, no, no, no, no!" I am screaming at my laptop. Can this day get any worse? I've been working on this video for 4 hours and now I only see a black screen. Nothing works. I can't turn on my laptop. I called this guy Clara recommended for fixing things like this but he is not answering. My deadline for this is by  midnight. I am panicking and crying in my apartment.
I only know a few people in Seoul that could help me. Sigh. I try calling Yoongi. It's a long shot since I know they are busy these days in the company but I have to give it a try. I called three times. No answer. 

Okay... maybe Tae is available. The phone rings 2 times and I hear his voice:
"Nae?"
"Tae, I'm sorry to bother you. Where are you? Why isn't Yoongi answering?"
"Home. What's wrong? He is in the studio."
"My laptop died and I have this deadline and I don't know what to do, I must finish this or I will lose this client and I can't afford that to happen..." - I was still sobbing.
"Calm down please. I will call you back in a minute."

A few moments later he called.
"Hey, listen. So I sent a car to pick you up. I asked Jungkook and he said it's okay for you to use his computer. He has all the Adobe programs installed. Is that okay?"
"Thank you so, so, so much. I owe you big times!"
"You sure do." - he said with his funny voice.

Half an hour later I was in Bangtan house, alone with Taehyung.
"Where is everybody anyway? You look pale Tae-ssi. Are you okay?"
"I was a little sick this morning so I stayed home today. Suga, RM and Hobi are in the studio and the rest of the crew went to the dermatologist."
He showed me the way to JK's room. He laid on the bed while I was on the computer and we chatted while I was working. Thankfully some of my work was saved since I always put everything on my USB and save my progress every 5 minutes. I finally finished this damn video and sent it to my client. It was 9 pm so everything worked out really fine. 

Sigh.
"What's wrong Val? I thought you would be happy you finished."
"I am having some problems with my visa to be honest. I didn't tell anyone yet because I found out this morning. The embassy didn't issue me a work visa since they don't see this kind of freelance work as...a job. So I basically can stay in Korea for one more month and go back home or find a 'real' job."
"What's on your mind? What will you do?" he quickly got up and sat on the bed.

Sigh. "I don't know... You know the cafe where I do my work sometimes? Well I might ask the owner if they need a barista or something. I already worked in a cafe in Sarajevo so I could do that right? Why is this happening to me, I worked like 10 different jobs back home. I just need a paper saying  'okay, I work in Seoul, please give me my visa'... Maybe my mother was right when she said coming to Korea was the dumbest idea I ever had."
"Come work for our company!" he looked serious.

"Tae-ssi, I didn't say all this so you would just give me a job. I will manage..."
He interrupted: "Why are you so stubborn? I know you didn't tell me this so I would offer you a job. I think I know how you think by now. You never ask for anything. I mean it, you can work something in the creative team... I don't know what but I will figure it out. I can text out manager in the morning."
"Gamsahabnida Taehyung-ssi" I bowed and then hugged him tight. "This means a lot to me. I am forever thankful..."

He pulled me onto bed. We were still hugging but in a second he was on top of me. He smirked.
"I would never forgive myself if I knew I didn't do everything in my power to keep you near me" his eyes were sparkling.

Is it getting hot in here? He is so strong and handsome. Oh fuck it!

I rolled over and now I was on top of him. He held my waist as my face was getting closer to his. Just as I was about to kiss him... Ding-dong, ding-dong. The boys are back. Fucking hell!
We quickly got up. Before he went out of the room I grabbed his hand and gave him a peck on the lips. He smiled and went downstairs to answer the door. I turned off Jungkook's computer and joined the crew in the living room.
I tried my best to stop blushing but when I saw Tae's face again my cheeks turned red.

I quickly bowed to JK "Thank you very, very, veryyy much for letting me use your computer Jungkook-ssi !"
"No problem. Taehyung told me about..."
"What happened?" Yoongi got in the house and interupted.
I explained the whole embassy and dead laptop situation as we all sat in the dining room.
Yoongi was worried about me possibly leaving Korea: "Whoa good thinking Taehyung, Valerie can definitely work in Big Hit. I've seen her edits."

"I don't want to push my luck, I will be happy with any kind of job to be honest." I said.

I was tired from this horrible long day so after 30 minutes I went home. I just need a bath and some wine.

Yoongi's pov

Why is she always turning to Taehyung when she has problems? First her opening up to him about her personal life and now this? I felt like the two of us were really close but it all fell apart along the way. Did something happen between them while I was away? Why am I not the first person she told this? I looked at my phone. Oh, she did call me three times...

When I got home I immediately sent my resume to Tae. He was impressed and said he will forward it to their manager and let me know as soon as he gets any news from them. I decided not to tell mom about my visa problems since I knew she would just question all my life choices and once again make me feel like shit.
That night I fell asleep careless, thankful and happy. My last thought before I entered the beautiful world of dreams was Taehyung is my guardian angel.

Stay tuned to see if Valerie will EVER GET ANY ACTION IN THIS BOOK FFS!!!!! 🤣
