Chapter 5: Awkward

There will be errors in the some of the dialogue because the character doesn't know the language well. I did that instead of the dots because I felt the dots were annoying when I reread the chapters and thought you would think the same.

**********

Cecilia laughed nervously while looking at the ground that looked much more inviting than the conversation at hand.

"Yeah, wrong letter," she mumbled unable to meet his eyes that were piercing through her soul. The fan site was a blur in her mind. Every word she had spoken. Every action with him felt like a dream and now he was standing right in front of her in a white shirt, a weakness she had developed because of him.

Jeongguk tilted his head as he wondered what was really going on in her head.

Was the letter not a mistake? Jeongguk thought.

Eira tugged on Cecilia's outfit when she realized the grave situation they had put themselves into.

"We don't have our tickets," she whispered, hoping Cecilia wouldn't freak out too much. Oh god, what was she expecting? Of course, she would react, but maybe just not a full-blown meltdown would suffice.

"What?!" Cecilia whisper-shouted, feeling panic spread through her body quicker than lightning.

This cannot be happening right now. Not after everything! Cecilia thought.

"The tickets and the rest of our stuff are in the car and we can't go back," Eira broke the dreadful news, avoiding Cecilia's orbs that had showed nothing but fear.

"Are you telling me that we are homeless and moneyless?" Cecilia asked despite knowing the answer. Just maybe, if she asked again the situation would be different and they would still be at home, planning to escape, but Eira just looked at her guiltily.

As the girls talked away, the boys couldn't help but overhear the conversation. They gathered bits and pieces, putting together whatever they understood. They were trying to make sure that they were safe. A silent agreement passed between Jeonnguk and Jimin but Taehyung had other plans.

"Why don't you come with us?" Taehyung asked, earning weird glances from everyone which made him feel slightly uncomfortable.

"We don't want cause any trouble, so it's okay," Cecilia replied, trying her best to remember Korean. "I'm sure you have go."

"I'm serious, come with us," Taehyung insisted. "We will help you figure out what to do."

Jeongguk kept signaling to Taehyung to cut it out but Taehyung wouldn't budge, leaving Jeongguk with no choice but to grab his hand and pulled him away from the scene.

"What if they are criminals?" Jeonnguk asked. "We can't just bring random people back."

Jeonnguk had no idea how Taehyung was so okay with everything that was happening. They could get caught at any moment and then everything would be ruined.

"I agree with Jeonnguk," Jimin nodded his head. "People are after them and we never got into a scandal and I don't want to risk that now."

"First of all, did you hear them, they are definitely not criminals, but they are young girls and it's not safe for them," Taehyung tried to convince them. "It seems like they have nowhere to go. Come on please."

"I understand they are young but it's their fault for doing whatever they did," Jimin argued. "Our reputation is on the line here and there are other ways to be nice. Just because you developed a crush on a girl doesn't mean you have to put us all in danger.

Taehyung's eyes snapped towards Jimin who had clearly crossed the line.

"That was so uncalled for," Taehyung spoke slightly hurt. "If you guys don't want to help, then I don't care."

With that, he walked away, his heart still stinging.

Jimin and Jeongguk sighed in frustration and scurried behind him. He was going to get them into a lot of trouble.

*********

Cecilia and Eira sat inside BTS's car, wondering how Taehyung had managed to bring them where they were. He was very persuasive when he wanted to be. Cecilia kept glancing at Jeongguk, Jimin and Taehyung as they whispered harshly towards one another; she couldn't help but feel guilty. She shouldn't be here with them at all. It was wrong on so many levels,  but they had reached the building and there was no place to run to.

********
"Wait here for a minute," Taehyung tried speaking softly but it sounded husky because of how deep his voice was.

Cecilia and Eira quickly nodded as the boys headed in. If the situation were any different, they would have had a mini heart attack.

"Did you seriously bring back two random girls because they had nowhere to go?!" Namjoon exclaimed more than asked. He couldn't believe his eyes, but they were there at the door.

"All of you be quiet!" Jin shouted, catching everyone's attention. "You are scaring them!"

Cecilia's eyes widened slightly in awe as Jin walked towards them. His shirt hung on his broad shoulders and despite it being a loose hoodie it clenched around his muscular arms. Cecilia took once glance at Eira who had the same expression on her face. She looked back and he stood right in front of her causing her to unconsciously hold her breath slightly. Her eyes moved upward as she was towered by his tall figure. He adorned a smile on his face, showing his one little dimple.

"H-i, " Cecilia stuttered, looking down.

"Hi, there," Jin smiled again. "Come on in. I'm sorry for their rude behavior. They are usually more well behaved."

Jin ushered the girls to sit down while he glared at each member except Taehyung as if challenging them to say something.

"So, why don't you explain to us what's happening?" Jin asked, sitting across them while the rest took a seat as well.

Eira nodded towards Cecilia to answer.

"Well, I was supposed to get married today, but I didn't want to since it was arranged," Cecilia started, trying to find the words to explain the situation. "So, Eira and I decided to leave, but the problem is I was sort of getting married to the son of the most powerful company in Australia."

Namjoon translated as she spoke since not all of them were fluent yet, but stopped abruptly and stared at her.

"Are you talking about Mr.Raymond's company?" Namjoon asked, trying to contemplate the situation.

"Yeah, that's why you guys saw me running at the mall," She replied, tilting her head slightly. "The guards were trying to catch us along with the press. It was pretty messy. That's how we ended up without our things because our things were being guarded by the press. Our plan was to travel and now we most probably missed our flight."

The guys looked at each other, not knowing what to say.

"Why don't you stay the night and tomorrow we will talk to Manager Sejin about it?" Yoongi suggested, surprising everyone. Everyone had expected him to argue, but he did none of that.

"What?" Yoongi asked. "You guys don't agree."

"No, we agree," Namjoon said.

"You guys can stay in my room," Hoseok suggested. "My room is pretty neat and I'm not so sure about the others. I'll just share a room with Jimin since we are roommates in Korea anyways."

Cecilia opened her mouth then closed it, not knowing what to say. She really felt like they were invading their privacy and none of it felt right.

"Mi-an-hae-yo(I'm sorry)," Cecilia found herself saying.

"Look, I brought you guys here because I want to help you and now the members want to help as well, so don't be sorry," Taehyung stated in a reassuring manner.

*******

"Can you believe we are in J hope's room?" Eira asked excitedly.

"Honestly, it's hard to believe we were talking to them like a few minutes ago," Cecilia replied, bouncing on the bed slightly. It was a plain room with white walls and a queen sized bed that was engulfed in white. Honestly, Cecilia was glad there was a brown side table and a crystal like lamp on the side because too much white made her uncomfortable.

"Can you cheer up a bit?" Eira questioned while plopping down beside her. "This situation is not that bad considering we just spoke to our idols."

"You can be cheerful for me because I think you are forgetting that I dragged TAEHYUNG and JIMIN while I was running. Oh, did I mention the fact that we are stepping on their boundaries," Cecilia spoke sarcastically.

"Slow down girl," Eira said, holding her hands up. "They did allow us. We are not sasaengs and they know or else they would have never been this nice to us."

"You are right," Cecilia mumbled. "I think we should just sleep."

Eira watched as her best friend scrambled up on the bed, her eyes held everything she was holding back. It was too much for her and Eira knew she had to do something.

"You know it's okay to let it out," Eira said softly. "Your father is dying and you ran away. It's a whole ton of sh*t."

"Eira!" Cecilia exclaimed. " You were doing so well until you swore."

"What," Eira shrugged. " I can't help it."

Eira wrapped her hands around Cecilia's tense figure.

"We'll figure this out," Eira mumbled.

Hoseok had heard everything and walked away from the scene into Jimin's room where everyone gathered.

"You know what? I'm going to make sure we will help these girls out as much as possible," Hoseok stated with determination.

"Is everything okay?" Jin asked weirded out.

"Not really, but I'll make sure it will be," Hoseok smiled. "I'm so proud of you Taehyung for being smart for once."

"Excuse me!" Taehyung exclaimed.

"You're excused!" all the members exclaimed back then burst into laughter.

***********

Cecilia got up from the bed and looked towards Eira who was fast asleep. How many hours had it been? One?Two? Maybe even three, yet Cecilia couldn't stop her thoughts from racing in her head. No matter how much she told her self to shut up, her mind had other plans, so she decided to go out to the balcony.

The scenery was nothing much except another building right in front and the cars passing by once in a while. Cecilia took a deep breath and closed her eyes letting the warm wind hit her face. As she stared absently, her vision blurred with tears and she did nothing as one by one they rolled down her cheeks.

She wanted to scream and shout, but nothing came out except muffled sobs. It felt good to cry even though she knew the next day her head would pound with pain. Suddenly, she felt the balcony door to her right open and she stopped crying for a second as she watched Jeongguk appear.

Her breath hitched in her throat and she covered her mouth when she saw how ethereal he looked. His black hair, now messy and his big doe brown eyes looked darker than the inky night sky which made his skin look like the only light in the dark along with his sinful rosy lips.He was an angel that made her heart skip irregular beats. An angel that she should admire only from afar. An angel that left her wanting his smile.

Lower your gaze stupid. He will notice, she scolded herself mentally.

Jeongguk had a lot on his mind after receiving a text from his fiancee.

My Fiancee❤️

Are you okay?

You didn't call me today.

❤️kookie❤️

I'm tired. I'll call you tomorrow.

My fiancee❤️

Oh okay. Rest well kookie!

❤️kookie❤️

I will. Good night Jagiya(honey) 😘

My Fiancee❤️

Good night 🥰


He should talk to her, but he didn't want to worry her with what happened today and he is tired just unable to sleep.

Why do I feel like someone is staring at me? I'm definitely losing it because there is no one here. Jeongguk thought as he looked around.

Cecilia had quickly ducked down when she noticed Jeongguk looking around.

Why isn't he leaving? Please let me cry in peace, Cecilia thought, crossing her fingers in hope he would go back inside.

"I see you," Jeongguk stated after noticing the hem of her clothing. " I thought you were not stalker, but you prove me wrong."

"I'm not a stalker!" Cecilia exclaimed, cursing herself for standing up. " I was on the balcony when you showed up.

Jeongguk noticed the bloodshot eyes despite the darkness and realized she had been there for a while. Her eyes were screaming yet it seemed like she was hiding them.

"But, you staring right?" Jeongguk asked, crossing his arms.

"No!" She exclaimed as her dark wavy hair fell down her face. " I was looking outside and didn't even notice when you arrived."

"Okay then," Jeongguk shrugged, opening the door to slide in.

"Jeongguk," Cecilia blurted out unconsciously.

Jeongguk turned around slightly. She pronounced his name correctly which was surprising since she was a foreigner.

"You know English well?" She found herself saying.

"It's surprise for ARMY because they don't know yet," Jeongguk said with a smile.

With that, he left inside, leaving her lovestruck.

"Curse you curse you curse you," Cecilia whined in frustration. "Can you give me one reason to hate you at least?"

*********

The room was pitch silent as everyone waited for Manager Sejin to call the girls.

"Cecilia and Eira," Manager Sejin said calmly. "Follow me."

"Let's just hope we don't die," Eira mumbled.

"Are you trying to get us killed?" Cecilia asked, nudging her slightly to which Namjoon and Jeongguk chuckled.

"I want to know what's funny," Jimin stated.

"Me too. We all want to laugh," Taehyung agreed.

Cecilia and Eira felt a blush forming on their cheeks as they looked down.

"Boys," Manager Sejin stated seriously, quietening them down.

The girls followed Manager Sejin into his office. It was small but had everything needed from comfortable black leather chairs to a silver laptop sitting on the wooden table.

"So, I heard what's happening and we have made a decision that won't be changed," Manager Sejin stated professionally. "We can't help you further."
