2018: Love Yourself: Her Era

Presidential Hill Estates.
BTS residence.

10-11 January

9h30 -am

.............

Jhope was jamming to the lyrics of one of his favourite Drake songs in his car when his phone chimed in his wireless Bluetooth system. He tapped the answer button on his steering wheel. It was Yoongi-hyung.

" Hey Yoongles, what's up!" he loudly greets his huyng.

"The sky! Hobi when will you be home? Jin- hyung is waiting for You. You still need to colour shampoo your hair also" Yoongi's annoyed voice echoes through the car.

Hobi chuckle, "I know...tell Jin- hyung I got all the ingredients for the black bean noodle dish, and I got the pork belly for the BBQ and Kookies banana milk. I thought it was early enough for no fans to recognize me, but few saw me in the supermarket. Sorry. "

Yoongi huffed," You took an extra hour. We are on a tight schedule. Jin- hyung is quickly preparing our dinner before we need to prep. for tonite GDA. Hurry up, will you?"

Hobi smile to himself," It sounds as if the stomach is speaking for Lil meow meow!...how's Taehuyng doing?"

"He's doing ok...still sad, but his soulmate is with him... I think he will be ok. You still need to hurry, Jihyo-noona is waiting on you." He sounds rushed now.

He got to the security gate, scan his fingerprint and drove in. Most of the estates are built on more than 5000sqm lots. Most of the estates belong to the A-list of Seoul. From Ceos to Politicians. They are the only kpop band that is living in Presidential Hill.

"I'm entering the estate now...no worries hyung . See you in 2 minutes." Hobi takes two turns in the newest most exclusive estate a few minutes outside Gangnam-gu.

He enters their three-story mansions driveway. Taehuyngs' soulmates silver-grey, Lamborghini is still outside. She used it when she visits. She came yesterday from Beijing from shooting a commercial in Shangai. Taehuyng heard about his grandfather's illness. He wanted to be in Deagu with his family, but due to their tight schedule with Awards season, he couldn't make it.

"You back, thank God!"Jin yells from the open plan kitchen. Yoongi was sitting at the counter, cutting some onions while his face looking all crunched up with tears. Hobi burst out of laughter.

Taehuyng and his "cute fun-size" -affectionately nicknamed by the boys. Are lounging on the sofas watching and laughing at their recent RUNBts show on Vlive Episode 34 .with Jimin and Jungkook.

Taehuyng is lying on the sofa with his head nestled in his soulmates lap. She's playing with dirty blond dyed hair. He looks calmer and happier with her by his side.

"Fun size" laughter is heard all over."oh my gosh! Yoongi really has a sense of integrity."

Jimin chuckled," cheating never pays..."

Taehuyng smile," Jin wasn't good at that game...he wanted to cheat!"

Jin yells from the kitchen," I hate finding the "difference" games...it's stupid."

The group laughs. Jhope quickly went with Namjoon back to the company to retouched his hair to the fiery red tone.
Tonight is the start of the first Award season event. The Golden Disk Awards. They are nominated for 3 awards.

Yesterday they were rehearsing for almost 18hours to perfect their performance for tonite.

Luckily Sungduek gave them the day off to recoup.
Hobi and Namjoon return almost two hours later from the Hairstylists. His hair looked extra red.

Yoongi with a dry tone, "now you look extra hot...and I don't mean physically...red pepper, jalapeno kinda hot."

Hobi laughs and shove him away," You so mean!"

Jin," Food is ready, we can dig in...Sejin called..they'll be picking us up 15h00 pm.

After a scrumptious BBQ-lunch, the boys went to prepare themselves for tonight. Taehuyng soulmate is not going to attend. Jin soulmate's flight is delayed, so Taehuyngs' Funsize decided to watch the awards live with her at the mansion.

Jhope went to his private suite to freshen up. He quickly took a refreshing shower and did his favourite skincare routine. He smiles at himself in the mirror.

He loves his life now. BTS is enjoying the height of their fame. Their 2017 Wings concert were the highest-grossing concert to date. He wrote and produced at least over 80+ songs for his group and other artists.

He is the main dancer and sub-rapper for BTS. He hopes this year will be a defining moment in his career.
Currently,, he is the richest member of Bangtan.

He enters his room and decides on casual wear cause the stylists will prep them up for tonight.

He was just putting on his hoodie when he heard his cell phone chimed. He took his phone, open up his text messages. Ji won called him a while ago indicating that she and their parents will attend tonight. They are already on the way. They got VIP seating.

The Awards will take place at Korea Intl Exhibition Centre in Ilsan.

He picks up his phone without looking at the number because this is his private phone for business and family. He plops down on one of his bean bags to put on his FILA snickers.
Holding his phone between his ear and shoulder, he cheerfully answered.

"Hello..?

Silence...

"Erm...hello are you there?" He was about to hang up, possibly a caller ID error.

"Seoki."Upon hearing the pet name he had not heard for five years, he froze. The memory of her filled his heart with a sense of longing. Nevertheless, he shrugged it off.

" where did you get my number? And my name is Ho-Seok for you!" he spat out.

"Seoki ...Ho-Seok...please ...talk to me? I'm so sorry ...when will you forgive me ...it's been so long?" a voice cried out.

As Hobi breathed deeply, he asked," I'm asking you again...where did you get my restricted number...?

" Your grandfather -?" she admits.

"What! You used my family now to get to me...just ...just leave me alone or do you think ARMY is bluffing?" he seethed.

"Seoki?...I love you...Has always been you...I ...I miss you" the voice cried in his ears.

Jhope press his lips tightly together, close his eyes and with the coldest tone that can freeze the desert he uttered," Oh really, did you also love and miss me when I found you with my best friend...leave me alone or I'll forget our lifetime friendship and serve you with a restraining order and brand you as a saseang...!"

"I'm sorry Seoki ...it was a mistake...I made a mistake...I love-" she sniffs.

He hung up...

He stood up as an unwanted wave of emotions hit him. Jhope just threw his phone on his bed before plopping face down on it. His eyes began to tear up.

Even though he hates her, he still loves her.

"Hobi- hyung! Hobi- hyung ! are you doing? Management is here. Come on!" Jungkook calls from the hallway.

Hobi wipes his eyes, quickly run to his bathroom to freshen up his eyes again. His cell phone is left on the bed as he leaves.

.....

He met and greeted the rest of the management and bodyguards in the living room.

Jhope is unnaturally quiet, enter the room.

Jin look at his concern,' Are you ok Hobi?" Looking at his eyes with the slight evidence -the red rims around his eyes.

Hobi looked at his hyung and softly answered." Not really...but I'll be ok. "

"Hobi?"

Before he could get an answer Sejin was calling all the boys to get to the cars. Taehuyng kiss his soulmate gently and leave behind the snickering maknae -line who can't get over the fact that Taehuyng is so much in love with his cute petite soulmate.

She is left with two female bodyguards.

Two black vans wait for the boys, and they are on schedule.

In the first van the hyung -line is seated and in the end, van the maknae-line with Sejin.

Jin was in his element as always. Yoongi was his unbothered self busy on his cell phone with one of his favourite games, and Namjoon was texting like crazy. His mom or some of his kpop best friends.

Jin look at Hobi who quietly watch the scenery through the vans dark tinted windows. He pats him on the leg to gain his attention. They both sat on the back seats.

Hobi looks at his hyung with furrowed eyebrows. He look a bit disturb," Yes hyung "

Jin look him in the eyes," You look a bit upset...what is it? you were delighted this afternoon ...why so gloomy all of a sudden.?"

Hobi sigh and quietly whispering" I got an unexpected call from my ex-girlfriend..."

Jin's eyes widen," What! The girl who broke your heart 5 years ago. Why is she calling you now? How in the world did she get your number ?"

"From my grandfather, he always had a soft spot for her since we've 10 years" he signs and leans back on the seat with his eyes closed. He needs to focus, and they're going to perform tonight.

"Is she mad? Hobi we need you highly focussed and alert. We're performing tonight. We can't mess up" Jim rants on.

Yoongi turned around and look at the distress on Hobi's face," She has the audacity to call him after she messed up with his childhood best friend. I hate that girl."

Hobi grimace weakly," Don't worry I'm a professional nothing will derail me from my work. It just got me ...the whole unexpectedness of the call. I haven't heard her voice for so long".

Namjoon looks at his concern. He could recall how devastated Hobi was before they were about to debut. He wanted to leave Bangtan during 2010-2011. He felt it didn't work out for him.

He was a trendy street dancer in the underground. He was about to join a trendy crew, but Namjoon pleaded with him and Bang to not let him go and the rest of its history.

After they went on that Trainee camp week in 2013, one of the then manager confiscated all their phones unexpectedly two days after returning from camp.

They had to break up with all their girlfriends that weren't soulmates. Yoongi lost the girl he loved in the process.

Hobi didn't want to leave his girl. They've been dating since middle school when they were both 13-14 years.
The first chance he got to return home was the worst decision of his life...

Hobi shrugged with sadness," She wants me back...I just can't...I don't trust any woman near me again?"

Namjoon looks sad," Huh! What about your Soulmate...if you meet her?"

Hobi sighs deeply," I'll seriously reject her, I'm done with girls"

Yoongi teasingly.."so you're into guys right now..?"

Jhope widens his eyes with shock.

Namjoon chuckled, "Really, Yoongles!"

Jhope started to smile. Only Yoongi.

Jin in a very haughty voice," Sorry Hob, I'm unavailable, this beauty here is already taken."He smacks his lips in a cute pout.

Jhope shrugged and smile, " You're not my type in any case..

The hyung smile...Jhope brights smile returned.

18h00

Jhope was more relaxed and calm. He blocked his ex's number on his phone and informed his parents to speak to her parents to please let her stop harassing him. When he got back from the awards, he found over 25 pleading text messages.

Yoongi doesn't like her at all. He felt that she regret losing a famous,multi-millionaire even insist that she and Jhope are the real soulmates if he isn't so stubborn to see her.

Everyone thought they would end up soulmates and married. Even if they get their soul marks, The red-gold string won't affect them because of their deep love for each other.
