Power Style - Chapter Nineteen : The birthday

I've been in front of my closet for 30 minutes deciding what to wear. I really have to get ready for Yoongi's birthday. I can't be late, Hobi would kill me.

I can't believe it's already Friday. I've been so busy at work these last 2 days that I didn't even realize how quick time went by.

Back to my closet. Thankfully I already did my hair and makeup, I literally just need to put some clothes on. I'm staring at the neatly organized shelves, hoping for an outfit to magically appear in front of me, when I notice the orange fabric. Perfect! I haven't worn that in so long. I match the skirt with a black body suit and black heels, put my coat on, and 5 minutes later, I'm in a cab heading to Tae's place.

We made plans to meet at his with Kook, so we would arrive together.

My phone rings while I'm still in the cab.

« Hey Tae, what's up? » I answer

« Hey Gina, Hobi just texted, we have to get there sooner, how long til you get here? »

« Um I don't know, 3 minutes I guess? »

« Ok we'll meet you downstairs. »

« No problem. »

As soon as I get out of the cab, I'm grabbed by Kook and Tae and almost shoved into their car.

The three of us are now sitting in the back of a van, heading towards Hobi and Jin's appartment.

« Sorry about that, we really have to hurry » Kook says.

« That's ok, I'm guessing Hobi's plans didn't take as long as he expected? »

« Exactly. So he's making us all rush there so we're there before they get home.» Tae says.

« Anyway, how are you G? » Kook asks.

« Good, working a lot for you guys, but it's super interesting! »

« I can't wait to see what you've prepared! » he answers.

« I hope it will be good enough » I tell them

« Oh don't start, of course it will. » Tae almost scolds me, making me laugh.

After a few seconds of silence, Kook speaks up.

« So, about tonight, like we said, stick with us and we'll keep you as far away from Jin as possible. If at any point you want to leave, this car will be on standby, okay? »

« Okay, thanks guys. »

« Don't worry. »

« He better not pull any shit tonight. » Tae mumbles.

« Hey, Tae, don't. »

« I swear Kook, you know what I think about his behaviour. »

« I know, I know. » Kook put a soothing hand on Tae's lap. « Let's just think of Yoongi and make him spend a great birthday. »We all agree.

« He's probably expecting us to be there to be honest. » Tae answers.

« True, but still. » says Kook.

The three of us get out of the car and into an unfamiliar building. I follow the boys into the lift, clearly not knowing where I'm going, and we arrive at the last floor. A single door is in front of us, slightly open. We can hear Namjoon, Jin and Jimin's voices from outside. We walk in and find them sitting around in the couches. The boys all greet each other, but suddenly go back to their conversation when they see me walking behind Tae and Kook. Jin even scoffs at my sight. Is he for real? Chill, Gina, just ignore him.

I am in awe of the appartment. I'm standing in the middle of one huge room. The kitchen is on one side, seperated by an island, 3 velvet couches are placed around the biggest fireplace I've ever seen. A beautifully dressed table occupies the other side of the room. It's clear that Hobi decorated the place, his energy is overflowing in all the colourful details.

« Can I take your coat? » Kook's voice makes me snap out of my gaze.

« Yes thank you! »

I let my coat slide off my shoulders, revealing my outfit.

I feel stares on me as I do so.

« Well fuck. » says Jimin. « She sure can dress. »

« Um..thanks Jimin. » His comment flustered me, first of all because it's coming from him, secondly because I wasn't expecting that reaction.

« You really look stunning, G. » Kook agrees before leaving me in the middle of the room, with nowhere to go. Tae is gone somewhere else, so I'm just standing there by myself, feeling so tiny in front of these 3 men I don't have any desire to talk to. As I'm still looking around, I notice Namjoon's glare on me. What's his problem? Our eyes meet for a split second before he takes a sip of his beer and turns back to his conversation.

« Here you go, darling. » I sigh in relief at the sound of Tae behind me. I turn to see him handing me a glass of champagne.

« Oh, thank you. »

I grab the glass and just hold it. I really don't want to drink tonight, I know that if I do, I'll be piss drunk given how tired I am.

We finally get news from Hobi, who is on his way up with Yoongi. We all sush and wait for the door to open.

3...2...1

« SURPRISE!! » We all exclaim.

Hobi is looking at Yoongi, waiting for his reaction. He smiles at all of us, but especially at Hobi who looks disappointed.

« Is that all? »

« Babe, you organize this every year, and you say the same thing every year. I knew it was happening, but thank you so much, I love it as always. » Kook, Tae and I giggle since we've anticipated that reaction from him. Yoongi brings Hobi in for a cute kiss, making all our hearts melt.

« But hey, there's another person this year! Look Gina's here! » Hobi says, turning his head to look at me. « Who looks fucking amaZIIIING, oh my god, girl! »

« Thanks for being here guys, and Gina too. » Yoongi tells us calmly, being his normal self. « Right, who's getting me a drink? » I giggle, but the others look at him, waiting for the joke. « What I can't take advantage of today? It's my day, so someone go get me a drink. »

Namjoon stands up « Fine. Whiskey? »

« On the rocks. » Yoongi confirms.

« Yeah, yeah, we know. » Namjoon answers ironically.

We're now all sitting in the living room, talking and laughing. I'm staying safely between Kook and Tae, while Jin and Jimin are on the opposite couch, Yoongi is talling to Namjoon on the last couch, and Hobi is going around the room being the perfect guest pleaser. He keeps on insisting to bring me another glass of champagne, but I stand my ground. I drank one glass, and now Îm sticking to water. Which I need to evacuate by the way.

« I'm just going to head to the bathroom real quick. » I tell the boys.

I follow Kook's directions into the only hallway leading out of the living room. After my business is done, I check myself out in the bathroom mirror. It's true, I do look good.

As I walk out the door, I bump into a hard chest. I instantely know it's Namjoon. I recognize his scent. A mix of Tom Ford perfume and just a tad of cigarette.

I turn around, and just as I guessed, I'm faced with his torso. I look up to him, only to see his eyes locked into mine.

« You should watch where you going. » He says, in a low voice.

I gulp. That voice is sending shivers down my spine. Just as I suspected, the slightest amount of alcohol is affecting me already. I pull it together.

« And you shouldn't be waiting behind doors. » I answer back, raising an eyebrow at him.

I can feel my legs shake as his gaze is still penetrating my eyes. Ok, yeah, he's hot. Especially like this, his white hair slicked back, his loose shirt letting his muscular chest appear.

I won't break the gaze. He won't win this, even though it's so hard to stay this way, my back against the door and his big figure towering me.

He finally breaks the silence, but not the stare.

« May I use the bathroom? »

« Oh, uh, yeah sure » I move to the side to let him through, but my weak legs can't seem to carry me anymore. I feel my balance leave my body but his hand catches my arm just as I'm about to ungracefully fall onto the ground. His skin against mine feels like an electric shot rushing through my body, all the way to.. well, you guess where.

He sets me back up on my two feet and lets go once he sees I'm stable.

« As I said, watch where you're going. » He says before letting himself in the bathroom.

It takes me a few seconds to gather myself. I shake my head and make my way back to the living room where Hobi stops me.

« Babe, you good? You look like you've seen a ghost. »

« No I'm good. » I tell him, raising an eyebrow at him. I also notice Kook and Tae staring at me, probably wondering the same thing as Hobi.

« Guys, I'm fine! Just tired » I smile at them.

« Okay, I guess. » Hobi is not convinced. « Anyway, sit down, we're doing the present. » I follow his instructions while he goes to stand in front of the fireplace, right in the middle of the couches. « Hey everyone! I just need to say something real quick. Wait where's Joon. »

« Bathroom. » I instinctively say, making them all turn their heads to me. « I saw him while I was coming back. » I try to save myself. Of course, Hobi, Tae and Kook are looking at each other, trying to figure out how that plays in the fact that I looked shaken.

« Joon, hurry please, Hobi wants to speak! » Yoongi says. It's clear that he's tipsy right now, he's louder that usual.

« I'm here, go ahead Hoba. » Namjoon appears from the corridor, still fixing his outfit from his bathroom run. He straight up stares at me while going back to his seat. I feel the two boys around me intrigued about what they just saw.

« Ok, cool. » Hobi starts. « I would like to raise my glass to Yoongi. Babe, I wish you a very hapy birthday, here's to many more.» Everyone raises their glass with Hobi. « I know you don't like presents buuuut we all chipped in to get you something you've wanted for a while. Before you say anything, please follow me outside. » We all go, already knowing what it is, but wanting to see Yoongi's reaction.

« Ta-daaah! » Hobi says, revealing a brand new barbecue.

« Wooooow! » Yoongi exclaims. He really loves it. « Thanks everyone! You really didn't have to. »

« Of course we did. » says Hobi.

« I can't wait to use this bad boy. I'll make you all dinner sometime. »

Hobi is happy, at least he wasn't expecting the present.

We all stay outside for a bit, the fresh air helping the drunk ones sober up. Jin and Yoongi are in awe of the barbecue, while the others are having a chat around them. I slip myself away to go lean on the edge and admire the view. I could never get sick of it.

I hear them go back inside one by one, but feel someone coming towards me.

« Hey, Gina. »

« Hey Yoongi. Happy birthday. »

« Thank you. Hobi said you chipped in for my present? » I nod. « You didn't have to. »

« I wanted to. »

« Well thank you. And thank you for helping Hobi out when he needed it. »

« Of course! It makes me so happy to see you guys now. But don't keep him away from me for too long! » I joke, making him smirk.

« I promise. I just don't believe it's real yet, so I don't want to let go of him. »

« It is Yoongi, he's yours. »

He sighs and smiles while looking at the view for a few seconds. We stand there side by side admiring the lights coming from all over Seoul.

« Hey by the way, » he says « I know we haven't talked much since we had dinner together, but you do know you can count on me right? I've heard what happened with Jin, and just wanted to let you know that I'm here. I'm not the talkative type in case you haven't noticed. » We both giggle. « But that doesn't mean I'm not there for you. »

« Thanks Yoongi, I really appreciate that. » and  I do. His words send a calming wave through my body. « Same goes for you. »

« Thanks. »

We don't need to talk. Just being there with each other is comforting to us.

« I'm going to head back inside before Hobi goes around asking where I am. »

« It might be too late for that. » I say as I hear his voice from inside. « Where's Yoongi? »

« That's my cue! »

I smile as I watch him go back inside, and see Hobi rush to him as he does.

« There you are! I've been looking all over fo-» I hear him say before Yoongi pulls him in for a passionate kiss.

The way they look at each other after that kiss makes my stomach tighten. I want that too.

Fuck, now I'm emotional. I reach my hand into my bag to grab a cigarette. Yeah, I started smoking again. I light it up and stare at the moon while smoking. I start humming without noticing.

Moonchild, don't cry. When moon rise, it's your time.

« That's beautiful. »

I jump at the sound of Namjoon's voice. « Fuck, you scared me. » I say turning to him. « And you made me drop my cigarette. » I add, realizing that it's no longer in my hand but probably lying on the sidewalk all the way down.

« You need to chill. »

« Please don't start. » I show my back to him and start looking for another cigarette.

« Here. » he hands one to me and lights it up once I have it in my mouth.

« Thanks. » I proceed to walk to the other side of the balcony.

After a few minutes of silence, I hear him getting ready to talk.

« What were you singing? » He half shouts, given the distance I put between us.

« A song. » I let him know, looking at him with a smirk on my face. I'm being a smart-ass I know. But it worked. His jaw is clenched, indicating that I pissed him off. It makes him look hotter too. Not that I care though.

« I figured. What is it? » He asks harshly. I guess his love for music is stronger than his hate for me.

I take my time to answer, appreciating the last drags of my cigarette.

« None of your business. » I point out as put my cigarette out, staring him down before turning my heels and going back inside. I saw the annoyance in his eyes, and still feel it on me as I'm walking away. He didn't get what he wanted this time.

I spot Kook on the other side of the room.

« Hey, I'm going to head home, where did you put my coat again? »

« Oh I'll get it for you! »

« Leaving so soon? » I turn around and see Jin walking towards me.

« Go away, Jin. »

« I asked you a question. »

« Jin. Get the fuck away from her. » Tae shouts from the other side of the room, making Jimin and Hobi look at us.

« Relax, we're just talking. » Jin answers. He's clearly drunk.

« I have nothing to say to you. » I let him know, in case he hadn't understood yet.

« Ok, what the fuck happened here? » Jimin asks.

« What happened is that Gina is an ungrateful bitch. » I notice Jungkook grabbing onto Tae who is ready to jump on Jin.

« Excuse me? Wow, ok. You should look in a mirror Jin. » I spit at him before turning my heels.

« Oh, I see. » says Jimin. « Jin was a dick once again. »

« Exactly. » I answer, putting my coat on.

« Hey don't leave, we were talking. What was it about the mirror? I already know how handsome I am. » That would of made me laugh a week ago, but now it just grosses me out.

« Hey, Jin, let it go. » We turn to Namjoon who is standing at the balcony door. Jin walks away from me his hands in the air as if he was getting arrested.

« Right, I'm leaving guys, have a good evening. Thanks for inviting me Hobi. » I take him into my arms.

« You know I'm calling you tomorrow right? I need to know what happened here. As soon as I'm done taking care of my drunk baby. »

« No problem. Say bye to Yoongi for me. »

Kook and Tae walk me back to the door and bring me in their arms as goodbye.

« Call us if you need anything. » Kook says.

« I know. »

« Anything. » says Tae. Ok, angry Tae is scary.

« I will, I promise. Bye guys. »

« Bye, G. »

Power Style : Chapter Eighteen : The invitation

I get to the office quite early, to start making a list of what needs to be done. As soon as everyone gets here, we head to the meeting room to start planning for the tour.

We spend all morning there, interrupted only once by a coffee and donut break.

By 12:30, we know what we need to do during the next few weeks, so I let everyone go to lunch and start this afternoon.

I go back to my office to put down all my stuff and grab my coat and bag, and see Jungkook sitting in my chair.

I pause as I enter, not used to seeing someone at my desk.

« Hey Gina! I was early, and you weren't answering your phone, so I thought I'd wait here for you. I hope it's okay? »

« Yeah, of course! I was just surprised to see you here! » I giggle « Sorry about that, my phone was off for the meeting. »

« I figured. » He stands up from the chair. « So, where should we go? »

« I know this small restaurant right behind the building if you want? » I tell him

« Perfect. »

We head downstairs, all eyes on him obviously. I mean he is Jeon Jungkook, and he's walking around with me of all people. I find the stares very amusing, while he walks without even noticing. I guess he's used to it by now.

« So, how have you been? » He asks as we sit down at our table.

« Well, the last 2 days have been....interesting, to say the least. »

« What were you up to? »

« Oh you know, the usual netflix all day, ordering in, falling asleep on the couch. » I joke.

« That bad, uh? »

« Uh-uh »

« Have you spoken to Jin? »

« Yeah » I scoff, making him lift an eyebrow.

I tell him about my conversation with Jin, and the way he reacted. He listens to me carefully the whole time. He's sitting back in his chair, fidgeting with his beer, frowning his eyebrows.

« So yeah, that's pretty much it. »

He doesn't say anything straight away, he's still in the same position, only now he's nodding slowly while looking at the table.

« What's up? » I ask him, starting to get uncomfortable.

He takes a sip of his drink before answering me.

« Remember what I told you the first time we had lunch? » I try remembering, so he clarifies « About being careful with Jin. » I nod, his words coming back in my mind. « This is what I was afraid of. I just didn't think it would happen so soon. And you didn't seem ready to hear me out, which I understand because you felt good around him. »

« Well not always.. I had a creepy feeling in the beginning but I pushed it away. »

« I see, and that's understandable too. » He puts his head in his hands « Uuugh, I hate him like this. He does this every time, he's super toxic in relationships. We try to teach him how to not be an asshole, but clearly it's not working. I'm so sorry you had to experience it. »

« That's okay. If anything I'm glad it happened now, and not once a relationship has been established. »

« Fair point. »

We pause as our food has arrived. We both start eating before he starts talking again.

« And there was the whole drug situation that I wanted to apologize for. We had no idea that Jimin was going to get some. It's a big fight subject in the band too. »

« I kind of figured.. »

« I have to warn you though because you talked with Namjoon, you should know that only me, Jimin and Yoongi know about his old addiction. »

I'm surprised to hear that. I didn't think they would keep things from each other.

« Don't you tell each other everything? »

« God no! I mean, yes we're like a family, but families have their secrets too right? And we each need our own space. »

« I see. So how come you guys know for Namjoon? »

His eyes darken. « Thing is, Yoongi and I once walked in on him in his studio. We were usually not allowed to bother him when he was working but there were strange noises coming from inside so we had to check. He had even tweeted a video of him singing while high when we had a no drunk-tweeting rule. We thought that's what he had done at first, and that's what the rest still believes, but when we got into the studio, we saw cocaine on his desk. From that point, we helped him get sober, and he has been ever since. » It's my turn to listen to him carefully. « It was really hard, we were with him constantly through the withdrawal, the cravings, everything. You know how messy it can get. But he made it. And he made us promise not to tell the other guys. As for Jimin, when we saw that he was using regularly, we all started to look out for him, but Namjoon stood up and told him about everything hing to help him. Jimin has stopped taking it as often as he used too, but still uses occasionally, like the other night, and is usually followed by Jin. We've all tried it, I won't lie, but it didn't fit well with me and the other guys. So yeah, that's the story. »

« I see. » I answer, taking everything in. « So an almost drug-free band. »

« Well, I wouldn't say that. » He smirks. « We all have our weaknesses. As you know, Namjoon still smokes from time to time, Yoongi likes his glass of whiskey at night, Tae vapes, and I don't mind a joint from time to time. I'm usually followed by Yoongi, and Joon comes with us for a deep chat, maybe a drag or two. Hobi is the purest one, I'd say. »

« Good to know what your addictions are. » I joke.

« We are still human after all. » He says « And with our status, we have very easy access to all of this, so it's quicker to fall into it. »

« I can imagine. As long as it doesn't get out of hand. »

He nods back. I check the time and realize I have to get back to the office.

« I have to go, Kook. But thank you so much for this talk. »

« Anytime. »

I smile and call the waiter to our table. « Could we have the bill, please? »

« Go ahead, my treat. » he says.

« Are you sure? »

« Absolutely. »

We stand up, and he takes me in his arms.

« Bye, G » he holds on tight. « Let me know if you need anything. »

« I will. Thanks again for the meal. »

I feel at peace when I leave the restaurant. My mind is clearer than it has been since Monday night. It's weird that Kook is a few years younger than me, but has the perfect words to help me.

I spend the rest of the day in my office, organizing and planning the tour.

I am pulled from my work by a knock on my door. I lift my head to see M.Yi standing at the entrance.

« May I? » he asks once he caught my attention.

« Of course, sir! » I say, standing up and inviting him to sit down.

« No don't worry, this will be quick. » He walks closer to my desk so we're facing each other. « I just wanted to say that I'm very happy with your work Ms Douglas. The feedback from the commercial is exceptionnal, and I know you will put the same effort into the tour. But please take it easy. You have a few weeks to prepare this, then it will only be supervising while on the road. »

« Thank you for your kind words M.Yi »

« I will add one thing though. I've heard that you've been spending quite some time with the band. I won't complain about that, it's important for you to get to know them, and earn their trust. But I don't want to hear about any funny business going on, am I clear? »

« Crystal, sir. There will be no such thing. » I lie. I mean, there's no way he would hear about anything.

« Perfect. Have a good evening Ms Douglas. »

« You too, sir. »

I pick up my stuff when he leaves and start to head home. While I'm walking, I send a text to the group chat.

« Hey everyone, so as you know we've started to plan the tour. I'd like to meet with you to talk about the details. Would you be available next Monday? »

I put my headphones in and start walking home, enjoying the weather getting hotter by the day.

The last notes of Outro : Ego ring as I walk into my apartment. I've been listening to all BTS's discography recently, I have to know what I'll be working with. It's actually not what I expected from a k-pop boyband, it's really good.

I check for answers in the group chat.

Hobi : Um, Yoongi and I won't be available.. do we all have to be there?

Tae : Same for Kook and I, we're taking time to chill before tour.

Hobi : OMG same for us!

Jimin : I can't, I'm going to Busan for the week.

Namjoon : So I guess it's just Jin and me then

Jin : Not happening dude

Namjoon : What did we talk about

Namjoon : Not here.

I answer back

« I don't need all of you, at least one person to go over everything. Namjoon you're the leader right? »

Namjoon : Duh

Gina : Perfect, can you come and let everyone know what we'll say?

Namjoon : Sure

Gina : Ok, brilliant. I'll see you Monday at 2pm.

Yay. A full meeting only with Namjoon. Can't wait.

Just before I head to the shower, my phone starts ringing. It's Hobi.

« Hey Hobi! » I answer

« Shhhhhhh!! Hi Gina » he's whispering

« Why are we wispering? » I ask

« I finally escaped from Yoongi long enough to call you. I have soooo much to tell you, but not now. I didn't want any trace of this on my phone, but it's Yoongi's birthday on friday, and we're planning a surprise at mine, can you come? »

« Yeah, sure, um, I guess »

« Why aren't you happy? »

« I don't want to overstep, I haven't known you very long.. »

« Shut up, seriously. You're the reason we're together, of course you have to be here. Anyway, I have to go, see you Friday, 8pm at mine. Dress nice. Love you bye. »

He quickly hangs up. I guess Yoongi's back.

Still taken aback by this invitation, I get into the shower. I hope everything will go well with the guys, especially with what happened with Jin.

Anyway, we'll see, I don't want to get anxious about it. I'll be happy to be there for Yoongi. And I can just chill with Kook if I don't feel comfortable. Perfect I'll do that.

Power Style - Chapter Seventeen : The space

I probably sleep for 12 hours or more. I have no idea what time I went to bed at but it's 1 pm when I wake up. Everything that happened these last 2 weeks finally caught up with my body.

I feel so groggy when I wake up. I have that "who am I? where am I?" moment as I'm walking to my kitchen. Thank god we have muscle memory, I don't have to think to make coffee.

I instantly go back under my covers to drink my hot mug, while trying to remember last nights events. It's all flashes for the moment. I see a Lamborghini, wine, a cigarette, a motorbike but nothing makes sense yet. The more I wake up, the more flashes turn into memories and scenes.

I manage to remember the timeline. I shiver when I think about my shower, still not understanding why the fuck he was in my head at that particular moment. Anyways, back to the evening. Jin and I got teased, then I kind of yelled at the boys, ok, then dinner, yeah we ate, it was really good, what next? Oh yeah, oh FUCK. The coke. The balcony. The NAMJOON BEING NICE TO ME. High Jin. Namjoon bringing me home.

So that didn't help at all. I would've preferred not to remember all of that honestly. I hop in the shower to finish waking up, and to relax my aching back. I hate oversleeping, it always blocks my spine.

I check my phone once I'm all washed up and back into comfy pj's. I have so many notifications. Missed calls form Hobi and Jin. Texts from the two of them and Kook. Voicemails also. I turn off my phone and throw it on my bed. I don't want to talk with anyone. I need to be by myself for the moment and just forget about everything.

To do so, I put on a movie on netlfix, yet another stupid rom-com. I call them stupid but always come back to them.

As soon as it's finished, I put another one on. At the middle of it, I pause to order some food from my computer, still not wanting to turn my phone on. I eat while watching the end of the movie, and proceed to watch a different one when it's over, until I eventually fall asleep on my couch.

I wake up unbothered by the fact that I'm in my living room. I usually hate this, but I am so drained that I don't care at all. I fix myself cup of coffee and look at my TV screen. It's still on, and Netflix is asking me if I'm still watching. I click yes and spend the same day as yesterday, watching silly movies and ordering food for lunch.

At about 6pm, I decide to turn my phone back on. I'm due back in work tomorrow, and I don't want to have any surprises.

I let all the notification come through while I take a shower. I'm scared my phone might break, given the way it's ringing. It finally stops as I'm stepping out of the shower. Once my fresh set of pj's is on, I sut down on my couch and look at my phone.

Holy fuck, it's insane. Hobi must have called me about a thousand times, same for Jin. They both sent me so many texts. I feel bad right now, because they were probably just worried.

I catch up on everything they sent me. Jin's texts are hectic.

Monday night

- Where u aaaat?

- Gina?

- Did you leave?

- Ok Tae told me you left.

- Are u ok?

- Today was fun, especially at your house..

- Why did I stop us ?

- Did I mention I love spending time with you?

- Mqlal'vaif a

- Sorry, sat on my phone.

A few hours later

- Sorry about the high texts... did you get home safe? Are you feeling okay? I just remembered how you left the room at some point, is everything good?

- Gina??

- I'm guessing you're asleep, I'll talk to you tomorrow.

Yesterday

- Hey Gina, how are you doing?

- Why aren't you answering Gina, I'm really worried.. Hobi told me you're not answering him either, are you okay??

- Gina, what's wrong?

- Did I do something wrong??

- Ok whatever, you probably have your reasons but you could at least let us know if you're alive.

- You know what, no this is wrong. If you're purposely not answering, you're being so selfish. We don't know what's wrong with you, apart from Tae and Kook who wont tell us anything.

- I'm guessing Namjoon does too since he brought you home. Forgot he was your best friend.

Today

- Sorry about last night, I'm just really worried for you and Hobi. He hasn't slept in 2 days. I hope you're okay.

- For God's sake Gina what happened Monday night? Is it about what Jimin said? I guess not, you would have left straight away.

- Just realized you left after Jimin brought cocaine.

- That has to be the reason. You went to the balcony straight after he came up.

- By the way, why did you let the guys push me away? I just wanted to check on you, you looked sick.

- Do you have a problem with drugs? But you smoke, it doesn't make sense.

- It's just coke, Gina! We do it from time to time! It's not a big deal! Namjoon doesn't like it but he deals with it!

- Oh my God, can you fucking answer?

- Unbelievable.

That's the last text I have from him, about 3 hours ago. I'm so pissed at his reactions. He's actually making me feel like shit, and I can't tolerate that. I leave the conversation to check Hobi's texts. They are mostly rants about how worried he is, but the last ones are just love and support.

There are also notifications from the group chat, so I quickly go through them.

Hobi : Gina????

Tae : Hobi if she's not answering her phone, she's not gonna answer here either.

Hobi : Idk I'm just worried.

Jimin : OMG please stop. She proved she's a grown ass woman. We know she's home, Joon saw her walking into her building.

Hobi : What if someone was waiting for her inside? Or what if she fell in the stairs? Or in the shower? OMGGGGG

Kook : Dude, chill. She's fine, she just needs space. Can you guys not understand that? Yoongi, can you explain to Hobi what that means?

I smile reading Kook's text.

Hobi : Ok he told me, but still she could let us know if she's ok.

Jimin : ISTG Hobi, let it go! Stop spamming us, and her too because I know you are, she'll answer when she wants too.

Hobi : Ok fine. She could at least answer Jin though.

Kook : Hobi, stop.

I'm surprised to read Jimin's texts, for once he's not being an ass towards me. I decide to quickly type an answer here, instead of individually.

« Hey guys, sorry my phone has been off since yesterday, I'm fine. Just like Kook said, I needed to get some rest with no distractions. Hobi, I'm sorry if I made you worry, but you really shouldn't have. »

Jimin : Told you.

Hobi : THANK GOD!!! Please don't ever do that again.

Yoongi : Good to have you back. Now that you know she's alive Hobi, get your ass back to bed.

Hobi : Don't mind if I do.

I go into my emails to see if I missed anything for work, and while I'm catching up, I get a text from Jin.

Jin : Are you for real? Not even a private text? You leave me hanging for 2 days and don't have the decency to reply? The least you could do is apologize.

Gina : Excuse me??

Jin : Well, yeah, you basically play dead for 2 days and don't even answer. You should be apologizing. You apologized to Hobi, I thought you would to it for me to, I was waiting for a private text though.

Gina : I apologized to Hobi because he's my friend, and he was genuinely worried for me, but still ended up understanding me and leaving me in my space.

Jin : Oh 'cause I'm not? I didn't leave you enough space did I? I could've simply come over to your house, you know.

Gina : Should I be thanking you for not invading my personal space? And btw you blew up at me for not answering, instead of being supportive like Hobi. I don't have to apologize to you, because you made me feel guilty for needing my space.

Jin : Obviously I did! You left us 2 days with no answer! Maybe if I fucking knew what happened, I could be supportive!

Gina : Oh yeah? I don't recall Hobi or Yoongi knowing what happened, but they didn't blow up at me, did they? Hell, even Jimin understood! But you can't understand that something made me upset and I needed to cope by myself.

Jin : As I said before, it's just cocaine! 2 days of silence isn't worth it at all. Now please apologize so we can move on.

Gina : I absolutely will not, especially not after the way you're talking to me.

Jin : You think I'm being mean, do you? You have no idea what some guys would've done if you did it to them. Now, I think you owe me an apology.

Gina : I don't owe you shit.

Jin : Yes you do. I'm waiting.

Gina : Fuck off Jin.

I put the conversation on silent. What the fuck? Who was this guy? I type a quick text to my sister. I could really use her support right now. I make myself a cup of tea as my dinner. She calls me just as I'm sitting back down on the couch.

« Hey babe, you good? »

I burst into tears hearing her voice.

« Babe, calm down! What's wrong? » She asks

She waits as I gather myself enough to be able to talk. I update her on everything that happened since we last spoke, especially how my relationship with Jin evolved. I finish by telling her about these last few days. There's a silence on the other side of the phone once I'm done talking.

« Say it. » I tell her, knowing exactly what she was thinking. « Come on, I know you want to, so go ahead. »

« I told you so! I knew that feeling was there for a reason, and what a surprise! He's just like Pete! »

« Ok I wouldn't go that far, Pete was, well, Pete. But let's not get into that. You were right, my body knew before I did. How could I have been so stupid? »

« Don't. You couldn't have known. Yes, it was a signal, but you chose to ignore it, because you felt good with him, and he made you feel good. But you reacted the right way tonight, you told him off when he was trying to make you feel like shit. I'm genuinely proud of you. »

« Thanks babe. »

« What I find interesting is that you kind of knew all along though. »

« What do you mean? » I ask her, intrigued.

« Well, » She's going to start one of her therapist rants « you had that weird feeling right? Then there was the almost-sex. You felt something was off, but that can happen with anyone. Sometimes people aren't compatible right? But what I find interesting is that you chose not to tell him about your past. »

« Well, a lot of people don't know about it, I'm not going to walk around with a sign around my neck. »

« Yeah of course, but you felt comfortable enough to tell Taehyung and Jungkook, was it? »

« Yeah.» I confirm

« Ok. So you told them, but didn't tell the guy you were almost fucking a few hours before having a craving. »

« Hey, uncalled for. » I know it's just the way she talks, without any filter, but still.

« It's just facts. Anyway, you didn't feel comfortable enough around him to tell him. But that is completely unconscious of course. »She adores analyzing my mind.

I'm thinking about the fact that Namjoon knows too. I wonder how she would translate that.

« I'm not sure though. » I answer

« Why's that? »

« Well, other people know, but I don't necessarily feel comfortable with them. »

« You're talking about Namjoon, right? »

« What the fuck? » I almost spit out my tea.

« Yeah, I figured. »She stops taking.

« Sarah? Hello? »

« Babe I got to go, work's calling. Call me soon okay? Love you. »

« Okay, good luck, love you t-»It hangs up before I can finish talking but especially before she can explain herself.

What did she mean by that? What did she figure? Why does everyone seem to understand something about Namjoon?

Speak of the devil, his name is on my screen, followed by Kook's.

I open Kook's text first.

« Let know if you need anything. »

I quickly answer « Lunch tomorrow? » before clicking on Namjoon's name.

« Hi, having drinks with Jin. You good? »

I'm actually in shock. « Um, yeah I guess so. »

« Don't be so shocked, I just don't like people being bigger asses than I am. And he happened the biggest one tonight. »

I catch myself giggling at his text. The fuck? Kook's name pops back up on my screen before I can think about what I just did.

« Perfect I'll pick you up at work. »

I finally put my phone down after a few hours of holding it and get ready for bed. I clear my mind with a few youtube videos before sleeping. I have to be in good shape tomorrow, we're starting to organize the tour. It's not long before my eyes close in front of my screen, causing me to put my phone on my bedside table and drift into sleep.

Power Style - Chapter Sixteen : The coming-out

« Guys, please, I'd like to make a toast... »

Everyone turns to him and grab their glasses, lifting them up above the table.

« First of all, I'm raising my glass to Gina. You did an amazing job with this campaign, thank you so much for your hard work. I'm sure the tour is going to be amazing too. » He pauses for a second, while a few of the boys nod towards me in approval with what Hobi just said. « I'm also raising my glass to the upcoming tour we have planned. It's our biggest yet, and I'm so proud that we're doing it together. I think of all the hard times we had in the past 7 years and how much we've grown. Whether it's as a band or even individually. We all have struggled with finding out who we are. I know I have. » He takes a deep breath before going on. Yoongi is looking at him with a lot of affection. « I'm closer now to knowing who I truly am. I'd like to thank all of you because you have each helped me with my growth. I'd like to thank especially one person though.» He squeezes my hand tighter. I squeeze back, understanding that it's going to happen. «Yoongi. » I notice Tae smiling at the sound of that name while Yoongi just looks confused. «Thank you for your support, for your patience, for your love. I'm ready to live my true self, mostly thanks to you. » He takes another pause, but this one is just for the dramatic effect. Yoongi's eyes are locked on him. « I love you. Truly. I want to be with you.»

At the sound of those words, Yoongi stands up and goes around the table. I feel Hobi's hand slip away from mine as he turns to face Yoongi. We all have our eyes on them, with smiles on our faces. The other boys seemed relieved.

« Hobi.. » Yoongi says, now standing in front of him. « I love you too. I always have. »

He then proceeds to hold his face between his hands and kisses him, causing everyone to cheer.

« FINALLY! » Jungkook exclaims « Cheers to Sope! »

We all lift our glasses high up, making the lovebirds laugh.

« All right, all right, calm down guys. » Yoongi says.

We all settle down while the boys regain their seats. How convenient that they're facing each other.

Hobi takes my hand again.

« Thank you Gina, really. »

« Stop thanking me! » I tell him. « You deserve to be happy. »

« Right, after all these emotions, let's eat. » says Tae.

We all dig into the dishes on the table, except for Jimin, who barely takes a few pieces of salad. I'm not the only one who notices, Jin saw it too. I look at him in concern, he just shakes his head and starts eating what's in his plate.

The dinner goes on well, because I only focus on the people directly around me.

I can't help notice how cute Kook and Tae are. They don't necessarily talk to each other all the time, but there's always some form of contact between them, whether it's holding hands, a hand on the others lap or over their shoulder.

Hobi and Yoongi seem to be in their own world, as if they were on a date, not caring about what's going on around them.

Jin is extremely cute the whole time. Even though he's being goofy with Kook, he pays attention to me by explaining some private jokes or situations, and by filling my glass when it's empty or serving me more food.

The only problem is, whenever I look at him, I see Namjoon at the end of the table staring me down. What is his problem?

I don't think about it too much though, I just want to have a good time with the others.

Towards the end of the meal, Jin and I are very clingy with each other. I lean in for a kiss and as our lips meet, I hear a loud noise coming from behind Jin. Namjoon stormed away from the table, taking his cigarettes out of his pocket.

« Of course, you may leave the table Namjoon, thanks for asking. » says Yoongi ironically.

I notice Kook and Hobi staring at each other. I can feel something is going on in their eyes but I have no idea what. They seem to agree on something.

« May I be excused dear Yoongi? » Jimin says.

« Sure whatever. » He answers and gets up too. « Maybe one day we'll be able to have a normal meal. »

We all stand up and bring the dishes to the kitchen before sitting back down in the living room. Namjoon joins us soon after, but still no Jimin.

After a few minutes, we hear the front door, followed by hurried footsteps. Jimin appears, looking particularly jumpy.

« Shall we get this party started? » He asks, holding something up. I freeze at the sight of the white powder.

Namjoon bolts up.

« Jimin are you serious? We talked about this!»

« Jeez, relax. We're just having fun. » He walks towards the couches, still holding the packet. « Who's with me? »

He starts emptying the contents on the table. My eyes have not let go of the powder, and I feel my throat tighten seeing it being prepared before me.

I take a deep breath and stand up.

« Excuse me... um.. I'm just going to get some air... »

I rush towards the balcony.

« Oh fuck, Gina wait! » I hear Tae behind me.

« What's with her? Has she never seen coke before? » Jimin spits.

« Shut up Jimin. » Kook answers.

The wind whips my face as I get outside. I fall on my knees. I'm soon joined by Tae and Kook.

« Are you ok? Gina? Answer, please. »

I can't stop thinking about it. How the crystals would get into my system. What it felt like getting high.

« GINA! » Jin tries to reach me.

« Does he know? » Kook asks. I shake my head.

I guess Tae is telling Jin to give me some space. But I'm not sure about anything. I'm not in my right mind. I hear some rustling behind me and the door closing. The sound of a lighter tells me that I'm not alone on the balcony. I'm still unsure about who it is until I see a lit cigarette in front of me. I lift my shaky hand to put it towards my mouth. I needed this.

I manage to sit down on the floor, resting my sore knees, before thanking Namjoon.

We smoke in silence for a few minutes.

« How long have you been sober? » He asks.

« Officially? 8 years. »

He scoffs. « And unofficially? »

« 2 years. » I'm ashamed. I lift my head up. « But wait, how did you.. »

« I'm 5 years. » He cuts me off. Oh. I didn't expect that. « I used to think I was fat. »

I smirk. « Same. »

« It gets better. The craving. I've gotten used to seeing it around me, so I'm numb to it now. » He tells me. « I'm guessing you're not? »

« Not at all. The last time I saw some, it was before taking it for the last time. »

We're back to being silent. We don't have anything to say to each other. I am surprised by his behaviour though. It was nice of him to do this.

He stands up suddenly.

« Right, you good? » Aaaand he's back.

I nod. « I'll be in soon. »

He leaves without a single glance. I sit there for a few more minutes before the cold pushes me to head back inside.

I was not ready for what I'm seeing in the living room.

Yoongi and Hobi are gone. They must have gone to bed.

Kook and Tae are sitting on the couch looking desperate. Namjoon is standing on the other side of the room with the same look on his face.

The reason they are like this is because of what's going on in the middle of the room.

Jimin, as I expected, is high as kite, but not alone. So is Jin.

I can't believe what I'm seeing : the two men are dancing around, topless.

Jin sees me and rushes to me.

« GINAAA! Wow you're beautiful. Isin't she beautiful, guys? » he says, showing me off to the others. « Your dress is gorgeous. Have you seen my abs though? Do you know I'm Worldwide Handsome? I got Worldwide Abs!» He's all over the place, and I know it's the drugs, but I can't stand to watch.

I push myself away from him.

« I'm going to go guys. »

« You're leaving? Wait, I'll drive you home! Let me get my coat. I mean, your coat. And my shirt.»

« Jin, back off. » says Namjoon from the other side. He tries to distract him. « Look, Jimin is jumping. »

Jin turns around and rushes to Jimin, joining him in his madness.

« Here's your coat, sweetie. » Tae says.

« Thanks. And thank you for tonight, the meal was great. »

« How are you getting home? » Kook asks.

Fuck, I forgot about that I came with Jin.

« Um.. I don't know... I'll grab a cab or something. »

« Let me call my driver. » Tae says.

« No, please don't bother him, there's no need, really, I'll just- »

« I'll drive her. » Namjoon lets out.

« That's okay, really, I don't want to disturb anyone. »

« I was going to leave anyway. Can you guys handle these two? » He asks Tae and Kook.

« I mean we're used to it now. » Tae answers with a hint of annoyance in his voice.

So it's not a first time thing.

« Come on. » Namjoon orders me.

I quickly hug the boys and follow him down to the parking lot.

He stops in front of the most beautiful Kawasaki I've ever seen, making me stop and stare in awe.

« You scared? » he asks, handing me a helmet.

« No, not at all. It's just beautiful. »

« Yeah, I know. Now get on, I don't have all night. » He spits out.

« You don't have to be a dick. You could simply accept the compliment you know. » I say as I attach the helmet onto my head.

« Yeah and you could simply get on before I change my mind and leave you here. »

I hop on behind him not without rolling my eyes at him.

As soon as I'm sat down, he lets go of the brake, turns the accelerator and we're gone.

Oh my god I forgot how good this felt. I close my eyes to enjoy every single thing I'm feeling. The wind on my skin, the speed, the vibration of the engine between my legs, the sense of freedom.

« Where do you live? » He asks, while we're stopped at a red light, taking me out of my thoughts.

« I'll tap you when to turn. »

He starts driving again, and I tap his shoulders indicating him where he has to turn.

We shortly arrive near my place and I point out where to stop. I hop back onto the ground, take my helmet off to give it back to him.

He climbs off too, to open his trunk.

« Thanks for the ride. » I tell him.

« Sure. » He answers, grabbing his helmet from my hands.

« Right, so goodbye then. » Why does this feel awkward? « Get home safely. »

I start to walk to my building when I hear his voice.

« Hey Gina, sorry you had to witness that tonight. »

I turn around and end up facing his chest. I take a step back to be able to look at him before answering.

« It's not your fault, you couldn't have known. »

« Jin doesn't know, right? But Tae and Kook do? » I nod. « Wow, that's fucked up. »

« If you say so. » I reply. « I'd rather keep it that way, if you're able to not talk shit about me. »

He's climbing back on his bike. « I'm a prick, I know, but that's not my story to tell. » He looks very hot right now, leaning forward, the moon hitting his silver hair making it even shinier than it already is. Snap out of it Gina, what the fuck.

« Anyway, I don't get why we're still talking, we agreed to only talk about work. » He continues. His helmet is back on now. « Bye. »

And he's off. I can still hear his engine getting further away as I walk towards my entrance.

I fall down on my couch once I'm home. What a day. How did all of this only happen in a few hours?

I'm exhausted. It takes all the strenght in the world to lift my body up. I head to the bathroom, wash up, put my pyjamas on, and snuggle up in my bed.

I'll think about everything tomorrow, right now I need to sleep.

Power Style - Chapter Fifteen : The celebration

I turn to him as we step outside.

« What are we doing? »

« Well first we can go have some food, then we'll see. »

I follow him into his car, a beautiful blue Lamborghini. He drove himself today, which I find very cute. At least it will just be the 2 of us.

He opens the passenger door for me, and I settle in while he goes around the car. Once he's in and ready to go, he turns to me.

"How do you handle speed?"

The biggest smile appears on my face. "I love it. I used to ride a motorbike back in the US but haven't had the opportunity to get one here yet."

"Perfect."

He smirks at me as he starts the car. The engine growls sending shivers down my spine. He's speeding through the streets of Seoul, but doesn't seem to care about speed limits. I have no idea where we're going, I'm simply enjoying the feeling sent by the acceleration. My back is against the leather seat, the adrenaline filling my stomach with butterflies.

We drive for about 15 minutes before arriving near Lake Seokchon. He parks the car in front of a building with a small restaurant at the corner and tells me to wait inside the car.

He appears on my side and opens the door for me.

"Milady" He bows a bit and puts out his hand for me to take. I giggle and proceed to lean onto him to step out of the car.

"Where are we?" I ask him.

"This is my favourite restaurant here. It's so good, the chef is amazing, and the boss is really nice. Very handsome too."

"Really? Do you know them well?"

"Yes I do, especially the boss. And I've known the chef since I was a baby." He looks over to me with a smirk seeing how confused I am. He continues "The chef is my brother, this is my restaurant."

I giggle once again at his joke. I hook my hand to his open arm and we enter the restaurant. It's beautiful inside, very well decorated, very cosy. The smell of fresh food makes my stomach go wild. We quickly sit down in the back.

"So, we only serve japanese dishes, is that okay for you?" I nod back anticipatedly. I'm starving. "What do you want? Should we get a few things and share? Or do you want your own dish? What about drinks? Wine? Sake? Or no alcohol?"

I put my hand on his to calm him down. "I trust you to order something good, I'm not picky." He smiles back at me and heads towards the kitchen.

He comes back with a bottle of wine and 2 glasses. I look at him while he opens it. He looks great right now with his jumper and messy hair, soft curls falling down on each side of his concentrated face. He's surprised by the pop when he finally pulls the cork out, causing him to almost drop the bottle. We both start laughing at his clumsiness.

We manage to calm down after a bit, allowing him to pour some wine into our glasses.

"Cheers." He says. We lock eyes as our glasses meet each other. « I'm really glad were doing this. I hope you don't mind me barging into your day.»

« Me too! And don't worry, I don't usually plan things ahead, expect for work, so you didn't disturb me at all. In fact, it was a great surprise. »

« That's good then. I was scared you might have plans with friends to celebrate. » He's looking down at the table and fidgeting with his cutlery.

« Well, I don't really know anyone here apart from my colleagues, and I'm not really close witht hem. I only have one friend and she's back in Philadelphia. So no plans for me. » I nervously laugh.

« Hey! That's not true! You have 7 more friends now! »

« 7? You sure about that number? » I look up to him smiling.

« Yeah, okay, 5. »

We stare at each other for a few seconds before he goes on.

« I wanted to tell you, I'm really glad I met you. You are amazing at what you do, and you are a great person. I love spending time with you. »

His ears turn red as he's speaking.

« I feel the same. » I look down, knowing I'm telling a little white lie. I didn't always feel this good, and the bad feeling is still here in the background, I just block it out.

Our food arrives on the table. He got a lot of small dishes for us to share. We look like we haven't eaten in days given the way we jump on the food. 20 minutes later, we're both leaning back on our chairs, empty plates and full stomachs.

« That was delicous. » I tell him.

« I'm glad you liked it. »

He pours me another glass of wine and we simply sit there talking while we finish the bottle. I feel the alcohol getting to my head but I don't care. It feels good when he takes my hand into his and looks at me as if he could see my soul.

« You're beautiful, Gina. » He tells me, making me look down.

« Thank you » I barely whisper.

« Should we get going? We don't want to be late for tonight. »

« Absolutely, and I have to take a shower and change. »

« I'll drop you home then. »

We walk out of the restaurant to get back in the car, and as he's being a true gentleman by once again opening the door for me, I grow a pair of balls. I pull him by the collar and kiss him. He seems startled at first, but soon leans into the kiss. He grabs my hips to pull me closer while I lock my arms around his neck. My hands start playing with his hair, while his are still holding onto me, although they are getting tighter as the kiss intensifies.

We let go of each other after a few minutes, a bit short of breath.

« Wow. » He lets out. I look up to his eyes and notice the burning desire in them. He wants me, and I want him.

« Shall we go? » I ask. He nods back as he licks his lips.

He's driving way faster than before, not that I mind, I just find it amusing. I adore seeing the effect women have on men.

He parks in front of my building and heads to my door, but I'm already out by the time he gets to it.

« You coming? » I'm definitely a bit drunk.

He looks surprised, but doens't complain and starts following me up.

I attack his lips once again as soon as we enter the lift. This isn't a passionate kiss anymore, it's a lustful kiss. We're both hungry for each other and our bodies can feel it.

We break the kiss long enough for me to open the door, and as soon as we're in my apartment, he lifts me up and wraps my legs around his waist, walking towards my room.

He puts me down on my bed, lying on top of me. I try to intensify the kisses, letting him know how I like things, but it doesn't have the desired effect. I can feel him hard between my legs, and the only thing I want right now is for him to rip off my clothes, but he doesn't. He simply kisses me tenderly. I can feel the desire in his lips, don't get me wrong, but there's too much softness. I decide to take matters in my own hands and manage to turn things around and be on top of him. I don't like topping, but I don't seem to have a choice right now. I start kissing him with more intensity, attacking his neck, letting my body tell him what he needs to know.

« Gina, wait » He moans. I sit back up to look at him. « Not like this, not in a hurry. »

Ok fair point. I'm disappointed but he's not wrong. I really have to get ready. He sits back up and takes my face in his hands, gently kissing my lips.

« I'm going to go back home to get changed, and I'll pick you up, is that ok? »

« No problem. » I walk him back to the door. «See you later. » We kiss yet again, both wanting more.

I get into my shower to freshen up and get rid of the frustration caused by what just happened. My thoughts start to drift away, as do my fingers. I'm imagining what could have happened if we had carried on, and just as I'm about to come, something pops into my head. Well, not something, but someone.

WHAT THE FUCK?!?!

I just came thinking about Namjoon fucking me.

I quickly wash my body, scrubbing harshly. I feel so dirty.

I decide to clear my mind with some music and turn my sound system on. The last played song starts again, and of course it's Namjoon's voice. I shrug and put a generic playlist on, before starting to get ready. Once my makeup and hair is done, I head to my wardrobe and settle for a long dress and black heels.

I'm struggling with the dress, my head is trying to get into a sleeve, when my phone bings. I finally find the collar and check my texts.

« Be there in 5. » from Jin.

I hurry to put my shoes on, not forgetting to check myself one last time, before leaving.

There he is, once again in his Lambo.

« You look beautiful, as always. » he says as I sit down in the passenger seat.

« Thanks! You clean up well too. »

He's wearing a beautiful button up shirt, not too fancy, his hair is up, perfectly shaping his traits.

The now familiar sound of the engine fills up the car and we're gone into the streets of Seoul.

« Hey I hope you're not annoyed about earlier. » He says.

« No don't worry about it. » And it's true, because I took care of myself. Thinking about it brings back the shower situation to my mind making me shiver. I stop the stream of thoughts. « You were right to stop us. »

We drive in silence for a bit before he speaks up again.

« Gina, I meant to say, I don't know what's going on here, or even where it will bring us, but there's one thing... »

« Yes? » My stomach is tight. What is he going to say? Oh please God, don't start with feelings.

« Well you know.. I'm an idol and we can't really.. »

« Oh yeah, of course. Keep it on the low. Got it. » I'm relieved.

« Yeah.. We can totally be seen together, since we work together, but we can't kiss in the street like today. »

« Got it. »

I'm not going to lie, even though I'm glad it's only that, I'm a bit taken aback by the conversation. I feel like it's neither the time or place to have it, and nothing has even happened between us yet.

I don't have time to think about it because he just parked in Taegi's parking lot.

Once we're in the lift, I hook my arm to his. I feel him stiffen.

« What? We're not in the street right? Plus I can't stand straight with these heels. »

He smiles and relaxes.

We get to the door and are greeted by Yoongi.

« Hi guys! Oh...this is new... » He noticed our arms. « Anyway, come on in. »

We walk down the now familiar hall full of pictures to find Tae, Kook, Hobi and Jimin.

« OH MY GOD! » Hobi exclaims « First of all Gina you look AMAZING, secondly, what is this? » He asks, pointing at ours arms. « Why am I even asking it was only a matter of time. » He turns his heels to get some wine.

I shake my head as Jin helps me take my coat off, and my eyes meet Kook's. His face is tense, and his eyes have a worried look to them. All of a sudden, his words come back to mind. I question him with my eyes, but he looks away.

« Here you go, honey. » I turn to the sound of Tae's voice. He's holding up a glass of wine for me. « Sweet wine, right? »

« Perfect. »

I finally notice Jimin staring at me with a smirk on his face. Not a cute one though, a very judgmental one. I give him a death stare before Hobi pulls me to the kitchen.

« So I'm gonna do it.. you know the thing we talked about. »

« Okay, I'll be here for you. Do you want to sit beside me? »

« Yes that would be perfect. Thanks again. » He brings me in for a hug.

« Right, should we just have a drink in the living room while we wait for Joon? » Tae asks. I forgot about him. Do I really have to face him after what happened in my shower?

I sit and talk with Hobi and Tae, while Jin and Kook are messing around behind the couch and Jimin and Yoongi seem to be having a very serious conversation on the other sofa.

We all stop when we hear the doorbell. Tae goes to open and comes back with Namjoon, who walks in as if he owns the place. I forgot how annoying his presence is.

As expected, everything comes back to mind. I bottom my glass to give myself some courage.

I'm guessing he just noticed I was here.

« Oh brilliant, she's here. » he snarks.

« Yeah, well, deal with it. » I answer, standing up to get more wine. I feel his stare on me as I walk to the kitchen, but I also hear Jimin hold in a laugh.

« Fuck off Jimin. I thought you felt the same.» I hear Namjoon tell him off behind me.

« Yeah, but I'm not a dick about it...anymore. Plus, she bites back. I don't want any part of that. » Jimin replies to him. « Lucky Jin, though. »

« What are you on about? »

« Oh yeah, you're late to the party, Jin fucked her. »

« JIMIN » I hear from everyone. I turn around to answer.

« Guys, thanks but it's not your fight. Just FYI, I'm a grown woman and I'll do what I want with my ass. » I'm practically red with anger « And not that it's any of your concern, but no, he did not fuck me. »

« Wow, she is feisty. » says Jimin. « Good luck, Jin. »

« Anywaaaaay... » says Yoongi « Food? »

We all agree and start heading towards the table placed in front of the view of Seoul's skyline. Jin is holding me by my shoulders.

« Don't mind them. »

« Don't worry about that, Jin. »

He pecks my forehead before we sit down.

I have Jin on my right side, Hobi on my left, Tae in front of me, Kook facing Jin and Yoongi across Hobi. Namjoon and Jimin are on each side of the table, far from me.

As we're about to start eating, Hobi whispers in my ear.

« I'm gonna do it now. I'm gonna make a toast. Can I hold your hand? »

I take his hand in mine and squeeze it as a reply.

He proceeds to stand up, his glass in his hand.

« Guys, please, I'd like to make a toast... »

Power Styles - Chapter Fourteen : The launch

I quickly turn off my alarm as Hobi is still fast asleep beside me. I gently leave my bedroom, letting him have a lay-in.

I check my phone while I'm waiting for my coffee to pour, and have a text from Jin.

« Hey Gina, just a bit worried is Hobi with you?»

I type « Hey Jin, yeah sorry he slept here, I didn't want to let him leave, he was a bit drunk and sad. »

The warm smell of coffee fills up my nose as I walk to the couch. I take a look at social media while I drink my coffee, and the first thing I see everywhere is articles about Namjoon's new hair color. Ughh, give me a break, I just woke up. Jin answers at the perfect time, just before I was starting to get angry again.

« Oh okay, thanks Gina. »

I don't have time to reply because a second text pops up on my screen.

« I've been meaning to ask.. Would you like to have dinner sometime? 🥺 »

I smile as butterflies invade my stomach.

« I would love too Jin 😌»

I open my computer to start working. My team has already started so I get updated on what has been done, and start editing the video clip. I prefer to do it by myself, so everything is perfect.

I decide to put on some music to not work in silence and figure I should get to know BTS before tour. I put on a random playlist and get back into working.

About an hour into editing, I start vibing to a bouncy song. It's so good that I actually start dancing in my living room.

I hear a laugh behind me, making me turn around and go red when I see Hobi.

« How long have you been there? » I shyly ask

« Not too long » He says « But long enough to see you vibing on RM's solo. »

Oh fuck. « Um I didn't know.. Coffee ?» I'm trying to divert the conversation.

« Yes please. » We head to the kitchen. « You don't have to be embarrassed, it's a good song. And it's healthy to have dance sessions. »

He smiles at me, presses play and turns the volume up.

Namjoon's voice fills up my apartment while Hobi starts jumping around, screaming the lyrics.

« I LIVE SO I LOVE! I LIVE SO I LOVE! LIVE AND LOVE, LIVE AND LOVE! IF IT'S LOVE I WILL LOVE YOU!»

« You should take that advice » I tell him.

« FIRST LET ME VIBE! »

I look at him dancing around my living room. First of all, wow, he's an amazing dancer. Secondly, he's so cute. He looks so happy in this moment, I can't help but smile at him. I must look like a proud mom.

He falls down on the couch when the song is over. I join him soon after with his cup of coffee. He grabs it from my hands as soon as I hand it to him.

« Did you sleep okay? » I ask him.

« Yes, thank you again. I really needed it. » He looks at me gratefully.

« Anytime. » I smile back at him. « Did you think about our talk? »

« Yes I did. » I look at him anticipatedly. « I'm going to tell him. »

« Oh Hobi that's amazing! » I pull him into my arms. « Just know that whatever you need, I'll be here to support you. »

« Brilliant, because I was thinking of a grand gesture. »

« How so? » I'm intrigued.

« Well we have the dinner on Monday and I was thinking a speech? So then the boys would know too. He's already out, so he wouldn't mind. »

« That would be epic. »

I get back to work soon after, and Hobi just stays with me all day, asking me questions about the editing. I eventually close my computer around 6pm.

« Right, that's enough for today. » I'm actually surprised, I got a lot done today and will only need to add finishing touches tomorrow. «What are we doing tonight? »

« Dinner and drinks? My treat. »Hobi says. I nod back, it's exactly what I need.

« Brilliant. Let me go back home to get ready and I'll pick you up at 8. »

« Perfect! » I say

I start getting ready as soon as he leaves. I take a long shower, allowing the water to rinse all the tensions away. I tie my hair up in a tight bun, put on my makeup and head towards my wardrobe. I feel good tonight, so I pick a nice outfit to match my mood.

My phone bings as I'm about to put my clothes on. It's a text from Hobi.

« Hey, I should be here in 30 minutes. Quick question, is it okay if Jin tags along? »

« Absolutely! » I text back, and think about how my outfit is a perfect fit for tonight.

Hobi calls me just as I'm putting my coat on. I quickly leave my apartment to join him and Jin in the black SUV.

« Wow Gina, you look amazing! » Hobi says

« Why do you sound surprised? » I tease him, and look over to Jin, who is just staring at me. « Hey Jin. »

He snaps back into reality « Um, hi Gina, how are you? »

« Good, thank you. » I'm amused by his first reaction, but he hasn't seen my outfit yet. This is going to be fun.

We arrive at barbecue restaurant in Gangnam. Jin, as a true gentleman, opens the door for us. A waitress brings us to our table, and I wait for the perfect moment to take off my coat. Jin's eyes almost pop out of his head. Mission accomplished.

« Oh wow. » Are they only 2 words that he can manage to say.

I act as if I didn't notice how he's looking at me. I sit down and start looking at the menu, feeling his gaze on me.

We decide to order a bit of everything and just share. We also order a nice bottle of red wine and some soju.

We start eating and drinking and talking. At first we talk about work, but as the drinks kick into our systems, the conversation drifts to nonsense. All of a sudden Hobi stands up.

« LOOK WHO'S HEEEEERE! » His glass is held up high towards the other side of the room. « TAE-TAE AND KOOKIE! » I giggle at the knicknames, turning my head to notice them coming towards us.

« Hey guys, what's up? » Kook says.

« Eating, drinking, talking, all that, you know?» Jin answers.

« Come have a drink with us! » Hobi tells them.

They sit down after a few minutes of us practically begging them to join us. They're both a bit tipsy but definitely not on our level. We take it upon ourselves to get them in the same state as us by starting a drinking game. They quickly catch up on us, causing general hysteria at our table.

We start sobering up after a while.

« Right, we're going to go. » Tae says, looking intensily at Kook.

« Sure thing. » Kook smiles back at Tae, almost blushing.

We all decide to leave and end up on the street to say goodbye.

Tae and Kook hop into a car, that soon disappears into the night. They seemed to be in a hurry.

« Come on let's go. Gina we're bringing you home. » Jin says, and I don't interject ; I'm still quite drunk.

I stare out the window the whole way back, seeing the city lights go past us. Seoul truly is beautiful at night, with all the signs lighting up the streets.

Hobi has fallen asleep by the time we arrive at my building. Jin helps me get out of the car and into my building.

He's holding me in his arms while we're on the lift. I can feel myself almost falling asleep leaning on him, his heartbeat sending soothing rushes through my body.

He takes my keys out of my hands after seeing the way I'm struggling to open my door.

« Are you good from here? » He asks.

« S-sure. » I stutter and trip at the same time.

« Right, let's get you to bed. »

He carries me into my room and lies me in my bed. His arms feel so good around my body.

« Will you manage to take off your clothes or do you need help? »

I simply groan, indicating him to help me. He gets to the top, and takes it off as I realize I'm not wearing a bra. I'm too tired to care, but he pauses for too long. I move under my covers to break the awkwardness. He walks up to tuck me in.

« Goodnight Gina. » He whispers. He kisses my forehead softly but I can feel the lust in his lips pressed on my skin.

I barely hear the door close, already lost in my dreams.

I have a hard time remembering where I am when I wake up, and how I ended up in my underwear. Flashbacks from last night come streaming in my head. Wow, I was really drunk.

I pull myself out of bed, throw a robe on and head straight to my coffee machine.

I sit on my couch with my warm mug, staring through the window, slowly waking up.

A text alert brings me back to earth

« How are you feeling today? » It's Jin. He's so thoughtful.

« A bit drowsy but okay. Thanks for last night, and sorry if I made you uncomfortable.. »

« Well I couldn't leave you like that by yourself.» A second text comes in straight after. « Uncomfortable wouldn't be the feeling. »

I giggle at his text before typing a reply. «Might I know what it was then? 🙄»

« I'd rather not tell you 😏»

I smile. I know exactly what the feeling was, I'm feeling it right now.

I force myself to snap out of it, I have work to do.

I open up my computer and start working on the video once again.

The day goes by as I finish the campaign. My team is also working really hard and we end up finishing everything before schedule.

I decide to text the boys.

« Hey guys! So quick update on the campaign : everything is edited and almost ready for the launch tomorrow. Get ready, it's going to be everywhere at 12. »

I put my phone down and head to the shower. I hear the notifications go wild. I pick it up as soon as I step out.

Hobi : I CAN'T WAIIIIIT 🤗

Kook : Yay! Thanks for your hard work Gina

Yoongi : Thanks for your update !

Jin : Brilliant!

As usual, Jimin didn't answer but strangely Namjoon did. And it wasn't a mean answer either. It reads « Very well, could you keep us updated tomorrow too? »

What? He's asking for news?

« Sure no problem » I answer.

I look at the time and decide to head to bed. I haven't slept a lot this weekend and I need to be in good shape tomorrow.

The next day, I get ready for work and stop once again for coffee and food for everyone.

We have quite a chill morning, since everything was done this weekend. We're just going over a few details, and even have time to talk about the tour.

We all gather in the conference room at 12 to see the official campaign. M. Yi joins us too.

The countdown starts on the screen and there it is. My team and I watch the final product of our hard work being sent out to the world. We're very proud of it. We put every effort into it in such a short time.

M. Yi starts clapping and we all join in.

We pop some champagne and stay there for a bit before I send my team away. I was able to get them the next two days of since I took up their weekend.

« You did well Ms Douglas. » M. Yi is now standing beside me.

« Thank you, sir. I promise the tour will be better, I'll have more time to be prepared. »

« Better than you pulled off here would be phenomenal. I made the right decision hiring you 3 years ago. »

« I'm very grateful sir. »

He proceeds to leave the room as my phone starts blowing up. It's the group. They're all congratulating me (almost all of them) and telling me how much they love it. I also notice a private text from Jin.

« Come downstairs. »

I gather my stuff with butterflies in my stomach and head to the elevator.

When I walk out, I see Jin standing there with a huge bouquet in his hands.

« Congratulations Gina. »

« Oh my God, Jin! Thank you so much they're beautiful! » I truly am surprised. « What are you doing here? »

« I thought we could spend the day together before heading to Tae's what do you think? »

« I'd love that. »

We leave the building side by side, my arm hooked around his, while feeling my colleagues' stares on us.

Power Style - Chapter Thirteen : The drinks

Hobi and I start walking.

"Where do you wanna go?" I ask him.

"I'm not sure.. Not somewhere crowded though."

I have an idea. "Would you like to come over to my place?"

"That sounds perfect" He answers. "If it's not a problem for you, of course."

"Absolutely not, I wouldn't have suggested it if it were."

We decide to stop at a supermarket and buy a bottle wine (or 2....ok, 3) and some food to nibble on.

We're not that far from my place, but Hobi insists on getting a cab since it's super cold outside.

We hurry up to my apartment to heat ourselves up. My house is heated, but I still run to get some jumpers and fuzzy socks to help our numb limbs.

"Your place is so cute Gina" Hobi tells me as I hand him the clothes.

"Thanks, but it's not much compared to what you guys have.." I feel the same as when Jin came over, a bit ashamed to have superstars in my small apartment.

"It has a soul." He says "And that's something money can't buy. There's a story here, it's not a generic apartment, it's a home."

I smile at him. "Make yourself comfortable, please."

He heads to the couch while I go to the kitchen to take care of drinks.

He lets out a sigh as he sits down "I can't wait to see the finished result for the campaign!"

"Me too! I'm glad the shooting is over, but this weekend is going to be hectic for me and my team."

"You're working this weekend?!" He sounds shocked

"Well yeah, we don't really have a choice.." I set a tray down on the table with our first bottle of wine, and a few bowls of crisps. I continue as I sit down next to him. "We have to get the editing done in time for Monday."

"How's that going to work? Are you going to the office?" He looks sincerely interested in the process.

"No, we're all staying at home this weekend, we each have different tasks and are going to keep in touch." I explain, pouring wine into the glasses before handing one to him. "Then we'll do the final editing on Monday morning, so that everything is ready for the launch at 1 pm."

"Wow, I never realize how much work is put into these things. We just show up to shoots and see the final result. But we're never told about what happens once we leave." He turns to look at me "Thank you for your hard work."

"It's what I do!" I giggle "Working with you has been quite stressful because of the timing, but very challenging. I really loved every moment." I pause "Well, not every moment."

"I know." He puts a hand on my shoulder. "Today was definitely Joon's biggest dick move. And I've known him for 10 years, he's pulled quite a few." I raise an eyebrow. Hobi explains himself. "He's always been that way with people he doesn't know. When we first met, we used to fight a lot, but now he's my brother. He really is a good guy, he just has issues with new people around him. He loves his comfort zone, doesn't like change that much."

"I can understand that, but it's not an excuse to make my life harder, especially when it's work-related."

"I honestly don't know what's gotten into him. It's never been this bad. I don't what it is about you that-" He pauses abruptly.

"What?" I ask

"Um.. no.. nothing" He shakes his head "Nevermind. Sooo... yeah he's an asshole."

"Um, yeah.." I look at him, still puzzled by what he just said. He looks lost in his thoughts. "Anyways, let's talk about something else, I've had enough of Namjoon for one day."

"Sure! What do you want to talk about?"

"Why don't you tell me what happened with Yoongi?" He almost spits out his wine as I speak. "Oh come Hobi, I have eyes, I'm not stupid."

"Is it that obvious?" He sounds concerned

"I mean it's not obvious if you don't pay attention. I've spent some time with both of you guys, so I kind of caught a few signs."

"Phew!" He sounds relieved. "I don't want anyone to know. Plus nothing is going on, really."

I stare at him, knowing he's lying to me.

"Okay fine!" He rolls his eyes at me. "Truth is, I don't even know what's going on."

"Do you want to talk about it?" He nods "Okay, I'm listening."

"Well, we've been friends for almost 10 years, right" I pour him another glass of wine "At first, the band was only RM, Suga and me. That's why I feel closer to them. But as time passed, Yoongi and I started to grow closer. We understood each other instantly. Our relationship kept becoming deeper as we got older. He's helped me through a lot of hardships, and I've helped him with his-" He takes a deep breath "-let's say depression. I know I can count on him if it's to cry, to talk, or even just to have a fun time. But lately, it seems like our relationship is evolving."

"How so?" I ask

"Well, I think it was around Christmas, we went for dinner, just the two of us. It was a really nice evening." He smiles at the memory "We had amazing food, then had a drink at his place. It was nice, it was just the two of us because Tae was visiting his parents. It had been a long time since we had been able to sit down and talk, alone." He pauses to drink. I simply sit there and listen to him open up to me. "We talked and talked for hours, about the band and what it had accomplished, and about us. We told each other what we meant to one another -what I've told you just before-, we thanked each other for the support we've received throughout the years. At some point, we both stopped talking and we were just sitting there on the couch. I felt really good in that moment, safe, comfortable -maybe a bit drunk too, not going to lie-. Our eyes locked eventually, and I felt something griping the inside of my stomach. But it was a good feeling, I felt warm and-I don't know. It was strange. And I know he felt it too. He eventually placed his hand on my cheek and started stroking it, which only made the feeling intensify."

He pauses to have some wine.

"Do you want to keep going?" I ask.

"Yes, just give me a few seconds." I smile a him, and take the opportunity to open the second bottle of wine. I feel it's going to be needed.

"I'm ready" I get comfortable on the couch to keep listening to him. "So he had his hand on my cheek, and moved it behind my neck as he started leaning towards me. And I panicked. I jumped off the couch and ran out the door. I avoided him for a whole week after that. I was lost, confused. I didn't know what was going on in my head, but I knew that I couldn't stop thinking about that night. I had no choice but to see him for Christmas because we had a dinner with the whole staff. He immediately came to me, and asked if we could talk. So after the restaurant, we went back to my place and had a conversation. He told me that he had feelings for me, and they had started a long time ago. I didn't know what to answer." A tear is rolling down his cheek. "Even though he has his anxiety and all that, he's so comfortable in his sexuality. He always knew that he was bi, and I admire him for that. I just never had time to figure that out." He stops because of the tears breaking his voice.

"Hobi, have you ever been in a relationship?"

"I've had girlfriends before we debuted, but once BTS started, there wasn't any time for it" He answers. "And um.. Well -how do I put this.. Idols aren't really allowed to date. But even if we could, we work so much that we wouldn't have time for relationships."

"I'm so sorry Hobi, I had no idea.." I feel genuinely sad for them.

"It's okay, it's part of the job I guess.." He forces a smile "That's also why we get so close in the band, because it's the only form of affection we get -outside of our family, of course. So back to that night, I told him that I definitely felt more than friendship towards him, but I was still unsure about my feelings. He told me that he would wait for me to figure it out, and be here for me if I needed anything. He stayed with me that night, simply comforting me. I felt really good sleeping and waking up next to him. Since then, we've been going out to dinner, having "sleepovers", basically doing couples' stuff. And everything was going great, I was started to really open the door to my feelings. I was starting to even consider the possibility of something happening between us. But last night-" I see more tears fill up his eyes. "-we had dinner again, and went back to mine. As we were lying in the bed, he tried to kiss me and I pushed him back." His voice is breaking up again, he's trying to talk through the sobs. "He had taken me by surprise. I told him I wasn't ready yet. He blew up, telling me how he didn't understand me, that he thought I wanted this too, that he wasn't going to wait forever. I couldn't say anything, I didn't understand where this was coming from. He had always told me that he would go at my pace. I bursted out crying after he was done. He immediately came to me to apologize and comfort me. We ended up talking for most of the night, and I told him everything that I was feeling." Another wine pause. "How I was scared. Scared because I was still lost. Scared of what I was feeling. Scared that something would come out to the world. Scared of the fans' reactions. Scared of what the boys would think. He told me that none of that mattered, it was just him and I, and that was the only thing that mattered, that we would just be us and love each other and-"

He can't hold the tears in anymore. I take him into my arms and hold him tight. I feel tears filling my eyes too. I'm heartbroken by his story, and by the fact that he is going through all this questioning. We stay like this for about 10 minutes, the time it takes for him to calm down.

"Hobi?" I ask him, once he's stopped crying. "Have you talked with anyone about this?"

"No one, apart from Yoongi and you. I was too scared to talk to the others. I tried with Joon a few times, but couldn't bring myself to do it."

"You shouldn't have gone through this alone Hobi." I grab his hand and keep it locked with mine. "Can I ask you a question?"

"Of course." He looks at me. The pain in his eyes aches my heart.

"Do you love Yoongi?"

He thinks before talking. "With all my heart." He smiles as yet another tear leaves his eye to fall on his cheek.

"You have to tell him. He deserves to know how you feel, but more importantly, you deserve to be free, and to feel free. You deserve to be as happy inside as what you put out to the world. You deserve to be loved for who you truly are. I know I do, and I know Yoongi does. If you don't want the whole world to know, that's your decision to make. But know that you have a safe haven in me and in Yoongi."

"Thank you Gina" He brings me in for a hug. "Thank you so much for this, I needed it."

"No, thank you for trusting me with your story."

He sighs as he wipes his eyes.

"Right, you're staying here tonight." I tell him. "No way I"m letting you leave in this state."

"That's okay, don't worry about me, I'll just-"

"Shush. What kind of friend would I be if I let you leave when you clearly need comfort? A bad one." I hear him giggle "My bed is big enough, we'll share it. And I'll be happy to have company tomorrow morning."

I lend him a large t-shirt and tracksuit as a pyjama. We both go to the bathroom to clean up before bed.

We both climb under the cover.

"Gina, I'm really grateful for you." He says in a sleepy voice. "You weren't sent on our path for nothing. I'm very glad you're coming on tour with us knowing I'll have your support."

"Always, Hobi."

We fall asleep instantly, a smile on our faces.

Power Style - Chapter Twelve : The group

I am in shock. Everyone is turning to me, following his gaze. They're starting to understand what is going on.

"KIM NAMJOON ARE YOU SERIOUS???" I'm yelling.

Yoongi tries to catch me as I start walking angrily towards Namjoon. As I'm arriving near him, I extend my arm and point my finger at him.

"You and me. Outside. Now."

He follows me out, and we're now facing each other once again. This is starting to become a habit. The cold doesn't even bother me at this point, my body is so hot from the rage.

I put a distance between us to be able to fully look at him while I spit my anger. He's standing as if nothing was wrong, with his hands still in his pockets, smirking at me.

I start scolding him.

"How could you do this?! You know how photoshoots work. And you just randomly decide to change your whole aesthetic?! As if it couldn't have waited until tomorrow?!" I am telling him off as if we was my child. I barely see the boys come out, I am too focused on him. "This is my job, and probably the biggest account I've ever done, and the only thing you seem interested in is how to fuck it up for me! What the fuck did I ever do to you?!" I can't see anything but his smirk at this point, which only enrages me more. I can't stop. "You are the most arrogant, annoying, disrespectful, ungrateful-" I vaguely hear someone call out my name "-cockiest piece of-"

"GINA!" I finally turn around to the sound of Jin calling me. He's standing right beside me. "Don't give into him." He whispers, looking deep into my eyes. He's right. I start to realize what I've just done.

"Fuck. Fuck. Fuck. No. What did I just do?" Jin takes me in his arms, which instantly heats me up. I didn't realize it but my body is numb from the cold.

"Breathe, Gina, breathe." Tae and Kook are beside us now too.

"Dude, even I wouldn't have went that far, and that's saying something." I hear Jimin talking to Namjoon.

Hobi is on the phone and soon hands his phone to Namjoon. Someone is obviously on the line, because I immediately hear a voice coming out of the device. Given the look on his face, he's probably being told off by someone above him, and he doesn't seem happy about it.

"Are you okay?" Hobi asks, arriving near our little crowd. "Do you need anything?"

I think of something. Something I haven't done in a very long time. But it's the only thing I can think of right now.

"Um.. I don't know.. I think I.." Why am I embarrassed? "To be honest I thinks I need a cigarette." I can tell that they weren't expecting this, but I see no judgement on their faces.

"Don't move." says Kook before running off to the parking lot.

He's back a few seconds later with a packet of cigarettes and a lighter.

"They're all yours. My drivers treat." I smile at him.

"Could I have some time alone guys?" They all nod, Jin takes me in his arms once again and proceeds to give me his coat.

As they walk back inside, I start looking for a place where I can sit down. Once that's done, I hold the packet in my hand and stare at it for a long time. Fuck it. I take one out and light it up, feeling the nicotine spread to my body.

I sit there and smoke my cigarette while staring ahead of me, contemplating what I just did. I hope this doesn't cost me the account, or even my job. I royally fucked up on this one, I never should have snapped that way at him. He's my fucking client.

I hear footsteps coming towards me, making my eyes focus again. I see Namjoon walking towards me.

"Please, just go." I tell him.

"I just want a light." What? He smokes? "Don't make that face, it's one cigarette here and there. Plus, I don't owe you anything. Give me the lighter."

"You do owe me this campaign." I start. "As for the rest, I agree. But it's not an excuse to treat my like shit."

"Please may I have your lighter?" He says ironically.

I simply lift my eyes up, handing him it. I can't get mad again.

I look up at him while he takes his first puff. Ok, he's hot. The hair colour really suits him, but it doesn't excuse the fact that he did it in the middle of shooting a campaign.

"Gina," The tone he's using startles me. I've never heard him talk to me like that, calmly, no anger in his voice. "I was just on the phone with my boss. I would like to apologize for what I did. I know it could have compromised all the work you've done." Sounds like a fake apology, but ok I'll take it.

"Look, Namjoon. We don't have to like each other. It's what I told you yesterday. But we are going to have to find a way to work together. We'll be seeing each other everyday for the next 6 months or so, and I can't be in this state of mind every time we see each other. And I most certainly can't fuck this account up, if I didn't already, it would jeopardize my entire career."

"Don't worry about that, the blame is on me." This feels weird. It's the first time we're talking without fighting. "As for work, I agree. What if we don't talk unless it's about Fila and the promotion? Would that work out?"

"Yeah I guess. We don't have a reason to talk other than that so yes." Wow. That was mature of him. "But it doesn't fix your hair problem."

"I'm an ass, I'm not stupid. I had a wig made exactly like how my hair looked yesterday."

That fucker. So it really was just to piss me off. He wanted to make a grand entrance, and he wanted that reaction of me. I swear t- Stop. Don't start again.

I simply stand up, finish my second cigarette -that I lit up unconsciously- and head back inside.

The atmosphere is tense when I walk in, and all heads turn to me. I sense a general relief when they see that I have calmed down.

"All right guys, we're shooting today. We've lost enough time, so let's speed everything up to finish in time." I direct to my staff.

The boys are almost done with makeup, while Namjoon is heading towards them, his wig in his hand.

"You are such an asshole." Jimin snarks

30 minutes go by, and we are all set to go. We start shooting, but we can still sense the tension in all of their faces.

"Guys, it's not working." I let them know. "Let's take a 15 minutes brake, have a coffee, some food, some air, I don't know, but let's all come back with a good energy, okay?"

Everyone scatters around the room. I sit down on my chair and just stare vaguely at the set up. A cup of coffee appears in my vision. The hand holding it is attached to Jin. He's standing beside me, Yoongi, Hoseok, Tae and Kook around him.

"Thank you" I smile at him as I grab the cup.

"What do you need Gina? We'll do anything to make your life easier." Jin is now kneeling down beside me.

I think for a bit but know exactly what has to be done. "Could you make us laugh?"

"WorldWide Handsome, at your service, you know?" I giggle. I knew this could lift my mood.

For the rest of the brake, I just watch Jin head over to each crew member, asking them if they know BTS. Kook is back to being the carefree boy he usually is, Tae and Hobi are having a dance battle with Yoongi as a judge.

From the side of my eye I can Jimin and Namjoon near the toilet, but don't pay too much attention to them. I focus on the others.

"All right people, let's get back into it!" Everyone takes their places, and we can already feel the mood has lifted up. Jin keeps telling jokes the whole time we shoot, making everyone relax as time goes by.

We take all the pictures we need before lunch. The company has ordered a bunch of food for us, and while we're waiting for it to arrive, I have a look at this mornings' shots. They are very good. I can see each of their personalities in them, but also their complicity. I stare at one particular pictures of them, and I think it will be the main visual for the campaign. I guess Jin had just made a joke, making Jungkook and himself laugh. The others all have a little smile on their faces. They look really cute.

"Hey, they're good looking men." Jin is looking over my shoulder. He points at himself. "Especially this guy."

"He's Jin from BTS, do you know them?" I smile at the sound of his laugh "He's known as WorldWide Handsome."

"I can see why." He answers.

The food finally arrives, and we all dig in. Well, almost all of us. I see Jimin roaming near the buffet, trying to decide what to go for. He ends up putting his plate back down and grabbing a apple and a bottle of water.

We finish eating and start cleaning up behind ourselves. I notice the apple on the table, half-eaten, and no Jimin. This is fucked up. He looks great, why does he do that to himself? I shouldn't say that, I know why he does that. Part of the reason I became an addict in the first place was because I thought I was fat. Nope, not going to think about that. I quickly clear my mind and focus on the filming part we have to do this afternoon.

The boys get changed while we arrange the set for the filming. I gather everyone around, staff and band, to give my directions.

"Okay everyone, we don't have much time to do this, and we will most likely have to do only one take per person. I'm gonna need everyone to put out their best work in order to make everyone else's lives easier. Do we all know what we have to do? Okay perfect, we can do this guys!"

Everyone rushes to their place, while I fill the boys in on what I'm going to need from them. They take place in front of the camera.

"Are we all ready? Aaand Action!"

We film all afternoon. Everything goes smoothly and I feel very relieved knowing we'll be done today. The only thing left will be the editing, and we'll be spending all weekend on that.

"We have everything we need guys! Thanks so much everyone, it's wrap!" I start clapping at my team, and everyone tags along.

I then head to the band.

"Thank you, you were brilliant today." Well almost. Thanks Namjoon. "I'll keep you updated during the weekend on how the editing is going. You can go now, thanks again."

As they head back to the dressing room, I start helping my team pack everything up. We have to empty the whole place since we won't be needing it anymore. I notice Namjoon and Jimin leave, but to my surprise, the others are helping out.

"Hey, no you don't have to do that."

"We said we wanted to make your life easier. This helps you all leave sooner." Jin says, as he picks up a cable.

"Yeah, and you and I have plans, so I'm staying until you're done. Might as well help out." Hobi tells me.

"Thank you guys, I really appreciate it."

We all get back to cleaning up, and we're done in about 30 minutes.

The crew leaves one by one with their respective equipment, but I have to stay until everyone is gone.

Jin comes up to me. "I have to go, but call me tonight?" He's holding my face in his hands. I nod and smile back at him, he answers with a kiss on my forehead. Yoongi leaves with him, and simply waves goodbye at me from afar.

Tae and Kook both give me a hug goodbye not long after Jin left. "Dinner at mine on Monday? To celebrate the launch." Tae asks.

"Absolutely!" I tell him.

Everyone is gone now, expect for Hobi who is just sitting on the floor. "Are we good to go?"

I check one last time if everything is in order, grab my stuff, and head out the door. I lock it behind me and turn to him, a smile on my face. "Let's go."

Power Style - Chapter Eleven : The revenge

A/N : Ok this is shorter than the previous chapters but DYNAMITE CAME OUT so that's what I've been doing. GO STREAM! 💜

He notices me staring him down. He scoffs before coming my way. We lock eyes and start an unspoken staring contest, just like the other day. As he's getting closer to me, I feel the muscles in my body tense up. His presence is enough to piss me off.

"You're late Namjoon." He's now standing right in front of me, forcing me to look up.

"It's M.Kim to you." His eyes are shooting bullets at mine, and so are mine, but neither of us looks away. We're both way too proud to do so.

"I don't have time for this." I turn away from him, starting to feel dizzy from keeping my head up to look at him. "Go get your make up and fitting done, we're all waiting for you Namjoon." I refuse to give into his twisted game, we're here to get a job done, whether we like it or not.

He executes himself, but I sense he's not happy with that. We can all see that he's stalling, and trying to annoy us. Thank God my team knows what they're doing and isn't giving into him either. 

We can finally start the shoot an hour and a half after the original time. He stands in front of the camera, and I don't recognize the man posing right now. He turns into this extremely professional guy. The harsh lines he usually wears on his face have completely disappeared, making him look even better than usually.

Even though he annoys the shit out of me, I have to admit that he is a beautiful man. He's the stereotype of the ideal guy : tall, well-built, perfect amount of muscle, a jawline that could cut you. Even when he's the biggest asshole, his clenched jaw and frown make him look good.

To my surprise, we actually finish the shoot quite quickly. The team packs up and starts heading back to the office. I'm about to do the same when I'm turned around by a firm hand on my arm. I am facing Namjoon once again. I mean, I am being towered by him once again.

"Listen to me" He spits, talking only a few centimeters from my mouth. "It's the last time you talk to me like that, do you understand me?"

I set myself free from his grip by throwing my arm down. "No, you listen to me." I feel the fury raising in my body. "We have to work together, and I couldn't care less if you don't like me. The thing is, I am in charge of this campaign so you're on my turf now. You listen to me and do what I say. Am I making myself clear enough for your tiny brain?" 

It looks like he wasn't expecting this reaction from me. He's about to answer but I immediately turn around and start storming out of the room.

I walk back to the office, feeling the need to clear my mind. I can't have him disturbing my schedule, and I most definitely can't go into the meeting with the mindset he put me in.

By the time I get back to work, the whole team is already sitting in the conference room, working on the editing. We do that all afternoon and plan the group shooting for the next day. We're going to have to take unit pictures, group pictures and shoot the commercial. We will be there all day, so I let everyone go early to get enough rest for tomorrow.

I decide to chill at home for the evening. I still have a bit of a bad mood because of today, so I put on yet another cheesy rom-com.

Just as I sit down with a bowl of popcorn, I receive a text from Jin. For once, I don't have that tightening in my stomach. I open it :

J : Hey, how are you doing? We haven't talked lately..

G : Hi! I'm good, how about  you? I know, I'm sorry, I had a lot going on..

J : No worries, I've just been thinking a lot about you..

We end up texting the whole evening, catching each other up on our lives, and it feels really good. We eventually start talking about deeper stuff. Jin tells me that he really likes me and can't stop thinking about me, making me blush. Thank God he can't see me right now. I start typing and send a text without thinking too much about it. I have to give him something.

"Jin I need to tell you something. One of the reasons I have been distant with you is because I have issues with relationships. I'll explain it to you eventually but not by text. I hope you understand that it has nothing to do with you, and that I appreciate the time we spend together."

A few minutes -that feel like an hour- pass before he answers, making my heart pound. 

"That's okay Gina, I understand. I'll go at your pace." I smile at his text.

We say our goodnights and I end up falling asleep with a warm feeling inside of me.

I wake up in a good mood, but the group shot pops into my mind, bringing my mindset down just a bit. I feel very pressured and anxious about it. Everything has to go perfectly, because we won’t have time to redo it.

I do the usual, get ready and head to the set. I stop on my way to get a cup of coffee and also get a big bag of french pastries for everyone. We'll be needing a bit of sugar before the day starts.

The boys haven't arrived yet, but we are already going through the schedule for the day. I talk with each person to make sure they know what they're supposed to do. Of course they do, I'm just doing that to calm my nerves.

Tae and Kook are the first to arrive. They're very clingy towards each other which makes me smile at them.

"Hey guys" I say as I hug each of them. "How are you guys doing?"

"We're very good." Tae tells me, making Jungkook blush. My heart could burst, they're so cute. I haven't gotten to a point where I can talk to them about whatever is going on between them, but I feel like that will be coming up sooner than later.

"Perfect. I need you all in a good mindset today."

"Well, we'll see about that." Jungkook starts, making me raise an eyebrow. "Yoongi is riding with Hobi and Jin, he spent the night there. And to be honest, we never know what to expect from those sleepovers, especially about where their minds are set."

Tae elbows Jungkook in the arm, making him realize he spilled something he shouldn't have. He opens his eyes wide.

"Shit" He says, rubbing the back of his neck with his hand.

"It's ok, I had figured something was going on there. I won't pry, don't worry." I wink at them. 

I notice relief on their faces. I offer them to get something to eat before getting their makeup done, making Jungkook run towards the bags of pastries. 

While they're picking out what to eat, I hear the door open. Jimin enters the room and boy, does he make head turns. He has that je ne sais quoi about him that makes his presence noticed. He barely looks at anyone, heading straight for Tae and Kook. I see him take a pastry, only eating a few bites, and leaving towards the toilet straight after. "JIMIN" Tae starts running after him.

I quickly look away, feeling that I shouldn’t be witnessing whatever is going on, and notice the door open. Yoongi, Jin and Hobi enter. Jin is first, and comes straight to me, giving me a warm hug. It feels good to be circled by his big arms. He breaks the hug with a peck on my forehead. There must be an army of butterflies in my stomach at this point.

Hobi comes in for a hug next, being his usual charming self, but something is off. The spark in his eye is not there. It almost looks as if he's cried? I hold on tight to him, sending some love through my arms. I feel him sigh. 

"Fancy a drink tonight?" I ask him. He needs someone, I can feel it.

"I would love that." He speaks in a low, appreciative voice. I can see his eyes twitch for a second.

"Your coat is amazing!" I quickly change the subject, sensing he's about to breakdown. He smiles back at me and goes to say hi to the boys.

Yoongi, who was already with them, came towards me as Hobi arrived. Shit, there's going to be tension today.

"Hi Gina" Yoongi is near me now, and he looks.. Well, he looks like himself. Nothing is being let through by his face, nor his eyes.

"Hey! How are you?" I ask, trying to hide the fact that I know something is wrong.

"Okay, I guess.." 

We both turn our heads as we hear Jimin's voice coming from the other side of the room.

"V, I said let it go!" 

Tae walks behind him, arms hanging on each side of his body, a powerless look on his face. All the boys turn around to him with an empathetic smile, almost as if they were telling him « it’s okay, you did your best ». They seem know the struggle he’s just gone through. The whole crew is looking at them too, which is exactly what Jimin wanted. He knew that by coming in here, the conversation would stop.

"The only one that could talk to him right now is Joon" Yoongi tells me. I scoff, having trouble seeing Namjoon comforting someone. Yoongi turns to me "He's actually lovely to the people he cares about. He helped me through a lot."

"Yeah, well he made it clear that he doesn't care about me or even about making my life easier."

Yoongi is about to answer, but a loud bang resonates. It's the front door.

Namjoon appears with his leg still in the air. Everyone has stopped what they were doing to stare him down for kicking the door open.

But I couldn't care less about that. I've noticed something else. Something that could fuck up the entire shoot. 

Seeing it sends me in a state of rage so intense that I clench my fists, feeling my nails press into my palms. He stands tall in the doorway, his hands in his pockets. He's proud of himself, and he's now looking at me with a defying smile.

HE IS FUCKING SMILING AT ME. I am dumbfounded by the nerve this man has.

It might not seem like a big deal for everyone else, but I know that he did this on purpose to delay the shoot as payback for what I said yesterday.

He dyed his hair white.

A/N : White-hair Namjoon is back. Hands down his best era, no argument on that (second best, now that we have Blue Namjoon)

I mean LOOK AT HIM.

Power Style - Chapter Ten : The past

I tell them almost everything. My parents' car accident when I was 4, my upbringing in countless foster homes, how Sarah and her family saved my life, and about Pete. I don't tell about the abuse I endured while I was in the system, I don't tell them about how I was an addict before the Douglas' adopted me. I spend more time on Pete though, telling them how we were high school sweethearts, got married at 18, divorced at 21 after 3 years of mental and physical abuse. I explain to them that he is the reason I moved to Seoul, to get as far away as I could from him.

They listen to me religiously, taking in every piece of information I give them, understanding very well that there's more to my story but they don't pry. It feels good to let it all out.

"Fuck Gina." Tae lies back on the couch when I'm done taking. They're both staring into the distance, trying to figure out what to say or do.

We sit there in silence for a moment. I wipe some tears from my cheeks and take a big gulp of wine.

"It's fine now guys. I wouldn't have this life without this. If anything, it taught me a lot" I sincerely believe this. I wouldn't be the same person without the things I've been through.

"Ok I guess, but it's too much for one person. It's just fucked up. And for this Pete guy" Tae's anger is displayed in his voice "I would fuck him up, I swear to God Gina, I would-"

"V, calm down." It's the first thing Jungkook has said all night. "She doesn't need you to be angry, she doesn't need anyone to fuck anyone up. She just needs friends." He turns to me and holds me by the shoulders, staring deep into my eyes "Gina, you are an amazing woman. You have a beautiful soul, and are one of the strongest person I have ever met. You've faced every thing life threw at your face and still managed to grow from it." I feel my vision blurring, tears filling up my eyes once again. "Thank you so much for having enough faith in us to tell us your story. Maybe one day you'll tell us the rest, but if you don't, I will still be grateful that you confided in us."

He brings me in for a hug while the tears stream down my face. He gently strokes my hair, while Tae is rubbing my back. I haven't cried in so long, this feels really good. He doesn't let go of me until he senses that I've calmed down. I sit back up and notice the wet stain I've left on his t-shirt.

"Thank you for listening to me guys" I take the tissue that Tae is handing me and use it to wipe my eyes. "Can we talk about something else now?"

"Of course! Anything you want" Jungkook exclaims.

I think of the hallway of pictures I noticed when I first came over. "I want to hear your stories" I let them know "But especially the ones behind the pictures in the entrance"

We all go towards the front door, and look at the first pictures. Tae explains that it's a timeline of the band. I listen to them talk about each picture, what was going on for them at that time and how they were feeling. I learn a lot about BTS's history. They tell me all about their debut, their first daesang, their tours, their trips, all of these moments captured on film. I pay attention to all of their stories carefully. I know I can find a way to integrate their timeline in our project.

We get to a beautiful picture of them all dressed up with Jin holding an award. They look so happy.

"Wow. This was a weird one. 2018 MAMAs." Tae speaks melancholically, while Jungkook sighs at that statement.

"Why's that?" I ask, curious about what they have to say.

"That award was the ending to the hardest year we ever had." Jungkook tells me "We were working so hard and were under so much pressure at that time. We were physically and emotionally drained. It was really hard to keep going, and we almost disbanded." He pauses for a second. He looks at Tae, who is staring at his feet. "Our performance was probably one of our best ones, but also the hardest because of the year we had just had. Receiving this award - artist of the year - was the proof that all our hard work had paid off. It was a very emotional night."

I had never thought of it that way. They always put out the best of themselves, never letting their hardships show.

"Anyway, let's move on from that" Jungkook directs, feeling that Tae isn't comfortable talking about that time.

They tell me about the next pictures, and we end with one of their favourites. It's from not too long ago, the 2020 Grammy's. They tell me how honoured they were to be the first K-Pop group to perform at the ceremony.

They all look really beautiful with their suits. You can tell in their eyes that they are honoured to be there, and I can still sense that pride in the way they look now.

"You guys are so cute when you talk about your memories" I tell them.

Before they can answer, we hear the front door open and all turn around to watch Yoongi walk in. We freeze as he sees the 3 of us just staring at him.

"Hi.." He looks confused about what we're doing.

"Where are you coming from all dressed up?" Tae teases him. We had all noticed that he was really well dressed as soon as he stepped in.

"Um.. Just dinner with Hobi" He's almost whispering but we all see the soft smile on his face. We don't pry, we know him well enough not to do so, especially the boys. "Anyways, I'm going to bed" He passes us in the hallway and heads to the other side of the apartment.

"I'm going to head off too. Thanks again for tonight, I really appreciate it."

Tae and Kook both bring me in for a hug while I smile, feeling their warmth and support.

"See you tomorrow Gina!" Jungkook says as I close the front door.

I get into a cab once I'm outside, and before I realize it I'm in my apartment. I must've been lost in my thoughts all along.

I decide it's best to go to bed before I start thinking about what I said tonight and it puts me back in a bad mood.

I feel so much better when I wake up. I start to get ready and go for a more cheerful outfit today.

The sun is shining outside. I can feel the winter leaving slowly as the sun rays hit my skin.

As soon as I step inside the set, am I lifted up by Jungkook. I burst out laughing, not expecting this type of greeting.

Hi Jungkook!" I can speak now that he has put me back on the ground. "What's got you in this mood today?"

"Well, I'm always happy first of all, but I just wanted to make sure you had a great start for your day." He gives me the cutest smile before going on "You know, V and I talked about you when you left and we both agree that you need to have more fun. The only thing you do is work."

"That's not true!" I exclaim "I have fun...sometimes"

"Sure you do. Anyway, it's great that you're coming on tour with us, because we will make you have fun with us. Deal?" He stands up straight before me, waiting for an answer.

"Ok I guess" I answer. It's like I could say no.

Satisfied enough with my response, he turns his heels to get his makeup and fitting done. While he does that, I talk a bit with the team, asking them if everything is going as planned. After their updates, we wait for Jungkook to be all done with his preparation.

He's jumping all over the place when he comes out of the changing room and skips all the way to his spot.

"I'm ready!" He doesn't look like a popstar at all, but like a child on Christmas morning. The whole staff is smiling at him ; he really does know how to lift the mood.

He's being goofy during the shoot, dancing and jumping around, but only because he knows that he's good at this. And he really is. The camera loves him, and he sends the love right back. The lights hit him perfectly, the clothes look great on him.

We have what we need rather quickly, but everyone is just enjoying the moment and the fact that we have an amazing model in front of us.

"Alright, guys that's it for today." I finally put an end to the shoot "Everyone go back home, rest before the last 2 days, we'll do the editing tomorrow afternoon at the office."

"What are you doing today?" Jungkook appears by my side.

"I was thinking of walking around, taking some sun in. Why?"

"I wanna spend time with you. Can I come?"

"Why not!"

"Yay! It's an adventure!" I watch him run to get all his stuff. He's back beside me in a few seconds. "Ready?" I nod back, and out we are.

Our first stop will be for food. We can't decide on what to eat, until we spot a Panda Express.

"Oooh that's my favourite!" I blurt out.

"Let's go then!" He grabs my hand and pulls me towards it. "V loves it too" He tells me as we walk in.

We order way too much food for the 2 of us but somehow manage to finish everything.

Just as we're about to leave, 3 girls come over to Jungkook to ask for a photo. They can barely speak to him but he make them comfortable straight away. He asks me if I can take the picture for them, so I grab the phone and snap a few shots of the 4 of them. He gives them a big hug before they leave. I watch him the whole time, he's really sweet with his fans. He then proceeds to put on a mask and a cap, making him less recognizable.

We walk around the city, and it looks beautiful. Everyone is at work, so there's not many people in the streets. The sun is still shining, making the whole day even better. We talk a lot during our stroll and he messes around to make me laugh. It's an amazing feeling to be around him, his energy is so pure.

We keep going until our hands and noses are numb and stomachs are empty. We sit down in a Starbucks and continue our conversation. I tell him about each members shoot, and when we start talking about Jin he looks at me and the mood changes.

"Gina, about him.." He starts, looking down to his cup. This feels weird. "I love him with all my heart, but be careful with him."

"What do you mean?" I'm worried now.

"Well.. I don't want you getting hurt, especially now that I know what you've been through."

"I don't understand" The feeling in my stomach is back once again. It had been a while since it appeared. "I have fun with Jin, he's cute to me. Why would I get hurt?"

"I'm not saying you will, I'm just telling you to be careful."

"Um, okay.." I feel lost. What is this supposed to mean? Would Jin hurt me? I doubt he'd be able to do such a thing.

"Anyway! It's getting late, we should probably head back." He's right, the sun is almost gone. I shake every strange feeling I have as I get up. I don't want to ruin this day.

"Wait, don't move!" He orders me as we step outside. "The lighting is perfect, you look beautiful"

He pops his phone out and takes a few pictures of me, acting like a pro. I'm usually the one behind the camera, not the other way around. This is way out of my comfort zone, but I pose for the camera to make him happy. I actually enjoy it for once, maybe thanks to his sweet and encouraging comments behind his screen.

"Perfect. Instagram material" He says while he goes through the pictures. "I've sent them to you" My phone bings as soon as he's finished talking. I look at the pictures while he is still on his phone. He's right, they do look good.

"Right, my car is on it's way for you." He informs me as he puts his phone away.

"You didn't have to! How are you going to get home?" I ask.

"Please, what kind of gentleman would I be if I let a girl go home all alone in the streets of a big city" He jokes and throws a smile at me. "But don't worry, I can walk, my apartment isn't that far away."

"Thank you, Jungkook." I smile back at him.

"Only condition is if you call me Kook. Jungkook is too formal."

"Very well, it will be Kook from now on" We smile at each other.

The car arrives shortly and I hop into it after saying goodbye to Kook.

Once I get home, I run a bath to end this perfect day in the most perfect way. I slide myself in, and feel my muscles relax instantly.

I lay there and think about what Kook said about Jin. I really don't understand what he meant. I quickly chase the thought, I don't have time for this. I have a shoot to finish and tomorrow is definitely going to be the hardest one.

I stay in for a bit until I almost doze off. I get out of my bathtub before I fall asleep completely and head for my bed. I fall asleep immediately, all snuggled up in my covers, feeling at peace.

My alarm goes off, making me groan. I stay in bed for a while, not wanting to go today. I pull myself up to open the curtains, making my eyes twitch.

I stall the whole morning, thinking it will make things better. Of course, it didn't work. Now I'm late and anxious about it.

There's only my staff when I get to the set, but that's fine by me. I can set everything up before he gets here and pisses me off in some way.

We wait and wait for him, but he doesn't show up. It's almost time to start the shoot and still no Namjoon.

I try calling him, no answer obviously. I text the group chat. No one knows where he is. I'm about to call my boss to ask him to call management when I hear the door open.

He's finally here. He struts in like he owns his place, even though he's almost an hour late. We're all looking at him in a very annoyed way. The whole team looks away as he lays his eyes on each of them. I have to admit, he is quite intimidating, but I can't give into him. I stand in the middle of the room, arms crossed over my chest, staring him down. I can't believe how arrogant he is.

Power Style - Chapter Nine : The feeling

I'm surprised at first, but once that feeling is gone, I completely lean into the kiss. This feels like a movie scene. His right hand is behind my neck, while his left hand holds me against him. His lips are so soft and so passionate. I can sense that he's been wanting to do this for a while.

We keep going for a bit before I lean back and look at him. His eyes are now full of desire, but he respects my unspoken wish.

"Goodnight, Gina" He says to me.

As I head up to my apartment, I can't help but smile at the feeling in my stomach. It's been a long time since I've felt butterflies.

I get into my pyjamas as soon as I'm home and head for my couch. It's a Netlfix and wine kind of night.

An hour into the cringiest rom-com I've ever seen, my phone starts ringing. Hobi's name is on the screen.

"Hey Hobi! How are you?" I really am happy he called.

"Oh my Gooood! Jin told me everything! I hope you don't mind by the way, we talk a lot together" He starts ranting "I don't care about Namjoon, he's an ass to be honest. You guys kiiiiiiissed! This is epic! JIN AND GINA SITTING IN A TREE! K-I-S-S-I-N-G!"

I burst out laughing hearing how cute he's being. "Yeaaah that happened" I'm smiling again, thinking about this evening. But this time, a chill goes up my spine. Weird.

Hobi and I stay on the phone for hours talking about Jin, the shoot, life and finally Namjoon.

"He's so weird around you. I mean he's always been an asshole, but I've never seen him go this far."

"I don't know, I guess we just won't ever get along. There are some people like that, the energies just don't match" I tell him

"Yeah but it's not an excuse for what he said."

I stay silent, not knowing what to say. "Anyway, it's quite late, I'm gonna head to bed"

"No problem babe, I'll talk to you soon."

I get all comfortable in my bed and doze off as soon as my head hits the pillow.

I wake up around noon, and start working on the video, not before making myself some coffee. I spend all day on it and on ideas for the upcoming tour. Hobi and Yoongi both texted me during the day, asking how I was doing.

Jin called me around 6, but I didn't answer. The strangest feeling appeared in my stomach when I saw his name on my phone. Instead, I sent him a text reading "Sorry, working, will call you during the week"

I have trouble concentrating again on work so I watch the end of the movie I had started the night before.

I go to bed around 10 and remember that tomorrow is Jimin's shoot. Uuuugh I hope everything goes well.

I struggle to fall asleep that night, my mind not letting me. I can't stop thinking about the feeling I had when Hobi mentionned Jin and when he called me. I can't shake it off but I also can't figure out why it's here.

The same feeling is here as I wake up, but I figure it's just because of today's schedule. I get ready as per usual, but this time I'm not as happy to go to set. It's not a great mindset to start the week off.

My staff is already setting up when I get there. After greeting them and checking if everything is good to go for today, I head to the bathroom. When I walk in, I hear someone coughing from one of the stalls. Almost immediately, I hear the person rushing to flush the toilet. The door open and I see Jimin come out, eyes red and sweaty forehead, panting. I stare at him, not knowing what to say. I kind of gathered what was going on in there, but I'm guessing no one was supposed to be here.

"What are you looking at?" He spits as me as he walks out, not without bumping my shoulder on the way.

Shit. I rest myself on one of the sinks to process. No wonder he acts the way he does. He's not arrogant, it's a defense mechanism. I'm guessing he's very insecure about himself. Now I get why Yoongi said Jimin wasn't great with the tour coming up! He must put a lot of pressure on himself because of it.

I won't bring it up to him, this is clearly not something he wants to be known. I go back to set and see that he his all ready for the shoot to begin.

"You look amazing Jimin, keep going" I encourage him. He actually does. The lighting hits his skin perfectly, his poses are incredible. He truly is a beautiful man, almost angelic.

The day goes by smoothly, apart from a few comments he makes towards me, but after this morning, I don't give into him.

We wrap up while Jimin is getting changed. As soon as he's done, he walks straight to me.

"Whatever you think you saw or heard this morning never happened. But if it gets out, your are dead meat, do you hear me?" His face is so close to mine that I can feel his breath against my skin. His eyes are pure wrath as they stare me down, a long way from the divine-like pictures we just took of him.

I gulp as he's still staring angrily at me and barely nod as an answer. Satisfied with that, he turns his heels and storms out of the place. I take a long breathe, realizing I had completely frozen during this interaction.

I need some air.

I quickly gather my things and walk to my office. Today is particularly cold. The breeze is hitting my skin like a thousands little knives. This isn't helping. I can't unsee Jimin eyes right in front of mine. I pick up my phone to call Yoongi. I struggle to hit the screen, my fingers numb from the cold.

"Hey Gina!" He answers after 2 ringtones.

"Hey Yoongi. Am I bothering you?"

"No not at all! What's wrong? Why do you sound like you're about to cry?"

"For your information, I don't cry. But yeah if I were a cryer, I would be weeping right now."

"Do you want to talk about it?" This is why I called Yoongi. I could've dialed Hobi, but I knew there would be too many questions. Yoongi will just listen to me if I need to talk.

"I guess so yeah" I start. I don't want to be too direct about what happened. "So it was Jimin's shoot today, and I heard something in the toilet this morning and he got super defensive about it and-"

"Okay stop." He doesn't let me finish. "Whatever he said about it, don't listen. You heard it so I'll tell you. He has an eating disorder. I believe it's important for you to know, everyone we work with does."

"I see." I knew it. "Is that why he acts that way?"

"Yes. That's what I almost spilled at the restaurant the other day, but we had only known each other for 2 days. Given the new circumstances, you needed to know."

"What are you talking about?"

"Oh, you don't know." He pauses. What is he saying? "Did you talk to your boss recently?"

"Not since last week, but I'm meeting with him in an hour, why? Please tell me Yoongi." I'm starting to get anxious. Why do I have to talk to my boss?

"It's not my place to tell. Talk to M.Yi and we'll talk about it after."

I run to the office, and try calling my boss. No one is in his office. Fuck. I have to wait an hour.

I imagine every single scenario as I wait. I'm pacing in my office while my mind is spiraling. My anxiety levels are through the roof by the time I have to meet M.Yi.

My stream of thoughts is interrupted by a knock on my door.

"Ms Douglas, are you ready for our meeting?"

"Of course M.Yi!" I try to hide my impatience.

"May I?" He points to the chair facing my desk.

"Please!" I gesture him to sit down, and I do the same in my chair.

"So I've got some feedback from the BTS project" He starts. Fuck. What is he going to say? "I have to say I'm very impressed with your work. Pulling that off with only a few days of preparation is quite an achievement!"

Okay this is a good start. I can feel my muscles relaxing just a bit.

"Well I couldn't have done it without my team"

"Give yourself some credit Ms Douglas, you're good at what you do."

I smile as I bow my head to him as a thank you.

"But more seriously, the band and their team all agree in saying that you did an amazing job. As you already know, we are sponsoring their world tour that starts next month. At first it was only a trailer and some clothes to wear, but now they want to make it into a documentary." I don't see where he's going with this, but I enjoy the fact that my work is appreciated by our partner. "The thing is, since we're sponsoring it, we have to make sure that the clothes they wear are properly represented in the movie." He stops, looking for an answer.

"M.Yi, I'm sorry but I don't quite understand why you're telling me this."

"Well, long story short, as Visual Creative Director, you're going on tour with BTS to make sure our products are promoted in the right way. You leave in 3 weeks."

My jaw drops. What? I'm going on a world tour with the biggest K-Pop band?

"I - um - wow.." I'm startled. I gather myself to form a proper sentence. "Thank you so much for this opportunity, M.Yi."

"Don't thank me, I'd rather have you here. Thank the members, they pushed for you to join them."

I smirk at that statement. I doubt it was a unanimous decision, but who cares. I'M GOING ON A WORLD TOUR!!!

We talk about all the details, and straight after, I organize a meeting with my team for the next day. We're going to have to make a plan for this.

As soon as I leave the office, I type a text to the group chat. "Hi all, I would like to thank you guys for the opportunity. I'm sure we will work wonders during the tour."

The answers come in one by one :

- Hobi : "FINALLY YOU KNOOOOW!!! CAN'T WAIT! 🎉🎉"

- Yoongi : "You deserve it."

- Jungkook : 🤗🤗🤗

- Tae : "Well I haven't seen you work yet, so don't think it's a done deal! Just joking, you're safe 😉"

I get a personal text from Jin stating : "Can't wait to see you everyday xx" And there's the weird feeling again. I don't have time to analyze it, because my phone bings again. It's from Namjoon.

"Don't think everyone is onboard. You better not fuck it up." My stomach turns into a knot, and tightens even more when I see that Jimin reacted to his text with a thumbs up.

I won't let any of this get to me. I have the biggest opportunity of my life waiting for me, and I plan on making everything work.

I call Sarah to tell her all about it. We end up Facetiming the entire evening and let her in on everything that has happened. The shootings, the guys, Namjoon and Jin. I eventually tell her about the weird feeling I've been getting these last few days.

"And I don't know, it's strange.. Like every time I think of this kiss, every time his name shows up on my phone it's the same feeling in my stomach and up my spine.." I tell her

"Gina..would this not be because of Pete?" There's a long silence after she says that. The sound of his name sends shivers down my spine. I immediately close off.

"No, and don't mention him again." I answer harshly. "I'm gonna go, I have to get up early tomorrow"

"Gina, I'm sorry, please don-" I hang up.

How could she do that? Not now, not when everything is going great for me for the first time in my life? I block out any thought about this conversation and go to bed.

I jump up at the sound of my alarm. I'm on the wrong side of the bed, covered in sweat, my sheets on the ground. Last nights conversation comes back to mind. I head straight for the shower to gather myself. I give myself a mental peptalk. I absolutely cannot fall back into this. I have an amazing life, an amazing job, my past isn't who I am.

The peptalk didn't have the desired effect, and I'm a mess when I get to the set. It's Taehyung's turn, and I really don't him want to see me like this. My skin is pale, my eyes look tired, even more because of the huge bags under them, my hair is up in a bun (which almost never happens).

I see him walk through the door but he's not alone. Jungkook is here too. They both walk towards me.

"Kook wanted to see what the set looked like, I hope you don't mind." He says as he's walking. "Are you okay?" He's close enough to see the state of my face now. He actually looks worried.

It's that obvious, huh "Not a problem, nice to see you both." I turn away. "Just tired."

"Gina, I'm sorry, but you look like shit." He's not wrong. "What's wrong?"

"Not here, let's just get to work." They both nod, but still look very concerned. They look at each other, then back at me. I gesture Tae to go get his makeup done and does as I ask.

We start the shoot, and I'm not as into it today as the other days. My team notices, and of course, being the best team in the world, they take control of the shoot.

Tae is killing it, and he doesn't even need the directions he's given. He's a natural. Everyone looks over to me as I look at the results.

"We're good to go guys, thank you for today."

Tae and Jungkook come straight to me "So where are we going?"

I check the time "I have to go to the office, I have a meeting in 30 minutes."

"Okay, but come to my place as soon as you're done." Tae orders me. I don't want to talk but I also don't want to be alone. They leave when I agree.

I rush back to the office. I get there just in time for the meeting. We spend the whole afternoon figure out a plan, but we don't go too deep. We know we have a bit more time to prepare than for the campaign.

After we settle everything at work, I grab a cab to go to Tae and Yoongi's place.

I'm greeted at the door by an even more concerned Taehyung. His eyes are darker than usual, maybe because his brows are frowning.

I follow him to the living room, where Jungkook is already sat on the couch. Tae comes forward with a bottle of wine and 3 glasses. We wait for him to open it and pour some into each glass.

He sits beside me. « This is a safe space, Gina. It's just the 3 of us, say whatever you want. »

I do feel safe here. Both of them are sat beside me, surrounding me with a comforting energy.

I usually don't talk about this but I feel the need to do so, which is strange for me.

I start telling my story.

Power Style - Chapter Eight : The collisions

I groan as bright light hits my face. I feel my body slowly waking up from what feels like a coma. I struggle to open my eyes before I realize I'm not in my bed, but on my couch. I must've passed out here last night. I look for my phone around me to check the time. It's no use, the battery is dead. I lift myself up from the couch and yawn as I head to my room to charge my phone. I glance at the clock on the wall. It's 6 am. Great.

I know myself, I'll never go back to sleep. I decide to go for a run. I'm out the door after throwing on my gym clothes. The cold air whips my skin as I exit the building. This is exactly what I needed before today. We're shooting Jimin, and it's going to take all the patience in the world to not blow up.

I keep going for probably an hour, stopping on my way back for coffee. As I open my front door, I hear my phone ringing. I rush to my room and see Yoongi on the screen. (Yes, I finally saved their numbers).

« Hi Yoongi! What's up? » I ask as I pick up

« Hey Gina, I'm just calling to say that I switched with Jimin, he was up all night with the others guys so they're all passed out in the living room right now. »

« Oh okay! » I have to say I feel relieved for a second. « I'll just have to make a few changes, but it shouldn't be a problem! »

« Okay, I'll see you later then »

As soon as the call ends, I send a text to my team telling them about the change so that the settings can be reasy for Yoongi's shoot. Thank God we had prepared everything beforehand, it will only be a minor adjustment. The clothes are all at the shoot, so that won't be an issue.

I get out of my sweaty gear after everything is settled, and hop in the shower. I get ready rather quickly, wanting to get to the set earlier.

It's Saturday today, and I would love for the shoot to go faster than the other days, so my team can rest.

I get to the set and to my surprise Yoongi is already at the makeup station.

« Hey! I figured you would want to start earlier given the situation »

Yeah, we're definitely alike. « Thanks Yoongi »

While he's getting ready, I head to my team and ask them about the settings. Everything is already in place. They're the best, they know their jobs for sure.

We start shooting, and Yoongi is absolutely amazing. We don't have to give him any directions. He knows exactly what he needs to do, and what poses work for him.

He puts on his second outfit while he prepare the background. His face lights up when he sees I used on of his ideas. He stands in front of the stary background. This looks perfect.

Thanks to him, we were able to finish before noon. My team and I clean everything up, even more than the other days, since the set will be closed until Monday.

I wish the set a good weekend and lots of rest.

I step outside and closed the door behind me. As I start walking towards my house, Yoongi catches up with me.

« Hey Gina, I wanted to thank you for taking my input » He's looking down while he talks. « It really means a lot. »

« Your ideas are great Yoongi, I wish I could've used more of them. »

He blushes lightly, still looking at the ground.

« I would invite you over, but the guys are probably still lying in their drool on my couches. »

« Haha that's okay, I have work to do anyway »

« On a Saturday? » He finally looks up at me.

« Well, yeah, I want your campaign to be perfect. »

He's looking back down to his feet now. « Thanks for your work, Gina. »

« It's what I do! » I feel so much more relaxed around him.

« I'll tell you what » he continues « Come over tonight. Since we're not working tomorrow, we can have some food and a drink. »

« That sounds nice! »

« I'll send a car at 8, so you have time to work »

« Thanks Yoongi, I'll see you tonight »

The day goes by, and I just sit in front of my computer, focused on the visuals we already have. I start editing the clips we have for the video. Everything looks exactly how I imagined. I hope next week will go as smoothly as these last few days.

By the time the clock strikes 8, I'm downstairs waiting for the car.

The car roams through the city as I look out through the window. I walk into the building that I know now.

The door is already open as I walk out of the elevator. I walk into Tae and Yoongi's place.

As I walk along the hallway, I hear some noise coming from the guest bathroom in the corridor. I keep walking, looking at my phone. I bump into someone coming out of the bathroom. I feel someone tall, muscular.

« The fuck are you doing here? »

Namjoon. Brilliant.

« Excuse me? » I look up at him. « Can you move ? »

He's blocking the way to the living room where I hear Yoongi and Tae's voices.

He doesn't move.

« Did you hear me? » I shoot at him

« I did. But you didn't seem to hear me. I asked what you were doing here. »

« I'm pretty sure that's none of your fucking business. » I really can't help it around him. He's the most arrogant person I've ever met.

« TAE! YOONGI! CAN YOU GUYS TELL ME WHY THE FUCK IS THE HELP IN YOUR HOUSE? »

« Are you for real!? » I'm really getting mad at him. « Who the fuck do you think you are?! » I'm almost screaming at him right now. The thing I hate most in the world is disrespect.

He starts laughing at me, which only makes me fill with more anger.

« I'm Kim Namjoon. You know that by now though. And I'm obligated to remind you that you work for me. » He spits his words at me, his face a few centimeters away from mine. He's leaning down so he's almost the same height as me. I lock my eyes with his, filling them with anger. He doesn't move and keeps looking at me with the utmost disdain. Our foreheads are almost touching at this point, but neither of us breaks the stare.

I hear someone shout from the end of the hallway. « NAMJOON! » As soon as his name is spoken, he's pulled away from me and pushed to the wall by Yoongi. We still haven't broken the stare, even though he's being scolded by his Hyung.

Tae appears at the end of the hall, a worried look on his face. He gestures me to come to him. I do so, passing by Namjoon and Yoongi.

« Are you ok? » He brings me into his arms as he speaks.

I look back to Namjoon, who still has his eyes locked on me. There's pure hatred in them.

« Yeah, whatever » I answer, walking into the living room.

Tae brings me a glass of water while I sit down on the couch, still shaken by what just happened. Soon enough, I hear the front door slam. A few seconds later, Yoongi appears from the hallway. His jaw and fists are clenched, his brows are frowned, his black eyes seem even darker than before. He comes towards us and sits down beside me, taking my glass of water and downing it in one go.

« Fuck, I'm sorry about that Gina. »

« It's not your fault Yoongi, thanks for stepping in though. »

« What the fuck was all that noise? » I turn around to the sound of Jin's voice. I didn't know he was here too. It seems like he's just woken up, his hair is all messed up and his eyes are still puffy. He realizes that I'm here, and immediately blushes. He's only wearing a t-shirt and boxers, but that was the first thing I noticed.

« Dude get dressed! » Tae throws him a paur of trousers that was lying on the couch.

Tae starts explaning to Jin what just happened while he puts on the trousers.

Jin doesn't say anything, and is just looking at me with concern. Tae and Yoongi start talking about Namjoon and his reactions, Jin simply sitting beside me wanting to comfort me but not knowing how.

The guys are interrupted by a knock on the door. Tae goes to open it and comes back with Jungkook.

He rushes to me as soon as he sees me. We've only met once, but it's like we've known each other for years.

« Why the long faces guys? » He looks confused.

« I'm gonna go guys, sorry but I kinda want to be in my bed. » I answer, knowing that the boys will update him.

« Are you sure? » Yoongi and Tae both speak at the same time.

I nod back as I stand up.

« We'll organize something soon, I promise. »

I hug each of them and head to Jin last.

« Please let me drive you home. »

I smile back at him as an answer.

We walk out of the apartment and into the elevator. He stands very close to me during the ride down as is he was asking for my permission. I lean towards him and lay my head on his arm.

He holds me by the shoulder as we cross the lobby.

Just as before, we sit in the car in silence, but this time our hands are touching in the middle seat.

I ask the driver the stop a few streets away from my building. I need to walk.

Jin follows me out of the car and we start walking side by side. Our hands seem to be looking for each other, barely brushing against each other as they follow the rythm of our steps. When we arrive at the main entrance, our fingers are intertwined.

I stop and look up to him. He looks stunning like this. He managed to tame his hair, which is now brushed back, showing his whole face. He's wearing glasses that give his face a different look. He's very sexy right now, with the street lights gently hitting the side of his cheek.

"Are you sure you'll be okay by yourself?" His voice is so soft that I barely hear him.

"Don't worry about me, I'll be fine." I smile at him.

He brings me closer to him and kisses my forehead. The tingling in my stomach starts again. I have to go now before my face turns bright red. I turn around, letting our hands separate as I move. Just as they're about to let go completely, I feel a pull. Jin has brought me back to him swiftly, catching me against his torso. I barely have time to understand what has happened that his lips are on mine.

Power Style - Chapter Seven : The shooting

I wake up before my alarm. I'm way too excited for today. The hard work I put in these last few days is finally going to come to life before my eyes.

I have quite some time before I have to be at the shoot, so I lay in bed for a bit, scrolling on my phone. I go through social media and I obviously see pictures of BTS. It's weird to think that I know them now.

As I head to my kitchen, my phone rings. It's too early for this but I pick up anyway.

« Hello? » I ask, not knowing the number that's calling.

« Hiiii! I'm so excited for today, I couldn't sleep so I figured I'd call you! Fancy some coffee? »

I recognize Hoseok's voice, and it made me realize I completely forgot to add their numbers to my contact list.

« Um.. sure why not! I'm not ready though »

« No problem! I'll give you some time to get ready, and pick you up in.. let's see.. half an hour? »

« Perfect! I'll send you my address »

We hang up and I immediately type in my address while walking to my bathroom. I hop in the shower, and enjoy the hot water waking up my body. I head to my wardrobe, leaving a trail of wet footprints on the floor.

I make my mind up about my outfit rather quickly. I'm going to be standing up all day, so flats for sure. I go for a simple jeans and t-shirt, which is probably what I'll be wearing all week.

I head back to the bathroom, put on just a bit of makeup to look fresh. While I'm finishing up, Hoseok sends me a text. « Here in 5 »

Just enough time to put my coat on and head out the door.

He jumps in my arms as I get to him. I really love his energy. He's dressed very casually, no makeup on, he obviously knows how today is going to go.

We get in the car, and he talks about how happy he is to do this collaboration. He loves fashion (and it shows) but he really enjoys partnerships, shootings and all that goes with it.

We head to Starbucks, not wanting to think too much about what to drink.

I have a simple latte, so does he.

We sit down for a bit and he asks me about the ideas behind the shoot.

« I love it! It's gonna be so cool! »

I'm glad he likes it! I hope the others feel the same way too.

We head back to the car that drives straight to the shoot.

As soon as we get there, I get into Director mode.

« Ok, Hoseok, let's get your makeup done, we'll then get you dressed and we can start the shoot.»

He gets very professional too, simply nodding at what I say and heads to the makeup station.

I take the opportunity to fix last minute details regarding the visual.

About an hour later everyone is ready to start shooting. We take a few pictures with the first look, and do a part of the video. He changes to his second look and we keep going.

We're all getting hungry at this point, but he stays extremely professional. I can tell thats he's getting tired but he keeps going. He moves the way he's told to, and does what he has to do.

It's 1 pm and we're about to stop for the day. Hoseok is now messing around with the collection, kind of done being serious.

He's walking around with a shoe on his head. It actually looks good.

« Hoseok, could you go back to the set? I wanna try one last thing »

He obeys and starts being serious again.

« No, keep going, put the shoe back on your head. » I indicate to him.

He does as I say, and I tell the photographer to shoot. It looks amazing.

« Thanks Hoseok, I think we have everything we need. Thanks everyone, let's call it a day! »

I let everyone one go for today, afternoons will be meant for editing the day's pictures. It's the only way we can work this out.

Hoseok is back in his normal clothes now, with a packet of doritos in his hands. He comes towards.

« How did I do? » He asks

« You were amazing Hoseok, thank you for being so professional »

« Please call me Hobi, we're past first-names. »

« Hobi » I smile at him.

« Wanna go for lunch? » He asks enthusiastically

« Yeah sure! I just need to wrap a few things up here. »

I go to my team to give them instructions for the rest of the day. They're meant to send me everything as soon as it's edited.

Hobi and I spend the rest of the day together. We go for lunch then shopping, and we really have a fun time together.

I decide to go home, knowing I still have work to do, and need to rest for tomorrow. We set up a dinner date for after the shooting is over.

I get home and look at the results of today's work. It's perfect. I work for a couple of hours, before going to bed.

While I'm starting to fall asleep, I get a text from Hobi. « By the way! Have fun with Jin tomorrow! 😉 »

I can't help but smile.

I wake up in a hurry. I can't wait for this to be over, I'm exhausted already.

I rush to the set, grabbing some coffee on the way. Jin there already, getting his makeup done. Thank God my team knows what to do.

He sees me walk in, and immediately says

« There she is! WorldWide Cutie Girl! »

« Hi Jin! » I say back, lightly blushing.

« You look beautiful today! »

I thank him with a head bow and get to work.

Everything is already set up from yesterday, we just need to adjust a few lightings.

We start the shoot, and Jin looks very good. I mean, VERY good. The way he looks on picture is so far from his personnality, but I like it. He brings his spark to the shoot as well, joking around and being goofy, but getting the job done nonetheless.

We get through the shoot seamlessly, the different looks all looking great on him.

I start packing my things up and getting ready to leave when Jin walks towards me.

« Are you leaving? »

« Yes, I have to get home and keep working on the campaign.. We have so much to do in such little time. »

« I see. » His energy is completely different. I feel intimated by him right now. He's taller than me and is standing very close to me. I have to look up to see him. « Could I at least offer you a ride home? » He's looking at me with a look that I can't describe. I think I see anticipation, and maybe lust?

I swallow before answering, feeling a tingling in my stomach « Sure, thank you. »

We sit in the car in silence. I don't get why I'm feeling this way. There's a clear tension in the car, and neither of us can figure out how to break it.

We arrive at my place, I thank him again and head up to my apartment.

I start working again and lose track of time. My intercom rings, bringing me back to the real world. I look at the time. Shit 8pm! Where did the day go? I realize I haven't eaten anything while I walk to my door.

« Who is it? » As I say that, the video turns on, and I see Jin.

« Pizza delivery » he answers.

I'm kind of surprised but I'm not sure if it's in a good or a bad way. I let him up anyway.

I open my door as he comes out of the elevator.

« I hope you don't mind, I figured you were very busy and would enjoy some food. I can give it to you and leave if you want. »

I'm touched by the reason he's here.

« Please don't be silly, come on in. » I move to the side to let him in.

I feel very conscious of my home as he walks in. Tae mentioned that he lives in the fancy part of Seoul, and given BTS's success, his home is probably as luxurious as Tae and Yoongi's.

He walks in and looks around him, setting the pizzas down on the kitchen counter. I don't know how to act. He looks so small in here.

I live in a 50 m2 apartment. The kitchen and living room are both in the same room, but unlike at Tae and Yoongi's place, there's no separation between them. The couch is almost in the kitchen, and I most definitely don't have space for a dining table. I still feel very comfortable in this apartment. It's the first one I've owned by myself, and I've made it my own safe space.

"Your home is lovely" Jin says "It ressembles you" He's now looking at me with a smile.

I can't help but look at the ground. I mumble a "Thank you". I feel ashamed in front of this huge megastar. I'm standing in my little home, wearing my pyjamas. I feel like a little girl, not the Director of his next partnership.

He notices my discomfort. "Are you hungry?" He heads to the kitchen as he speaks, and looks for plates. I go to help him, I'm not sure I want him opening every cabinet.

We head to the couch and start eating. We opened a bottle of wine I had stored in the fridge. We're just siting and talking about a lot of things but nothing personal. I think he feels like I don't want to go there.

As I'm laughing at one of his jokes, I feel his glare on me. My giggling stops slowly as I look down to my almost empty glass. He brushes off a loose strand of hair from my face.

"You are beautiful, Gina" I look up at him as he says those words. He has the same look in his eyes as he did today. I sense the lust now, I'm sure of it.

My stomach starts tightening up, while I keep looking him in the eyes. The only thing I notice right now is the way he's looking at me right now, and our knees barely touching.

He breaks the gaze and stutters "Um..I..um" He clears his throat before going on "I'd better get going, you have a long today tomorrow again"

"Uh yeah sure" I'm still shaken about what just happened. "Thank you for the pizza." I start to stand up as I speak

"My pleasure. No, please stay where you are. I'll let myself out" He takes my hand and kisses it goodbye "You have a good night, Gina"

He's gone. I'm left with my thoughts about this evening. I'm not sure if it's the wine or Jin, but I feel very light.

Power Style - Chapter Six : The organization

« Are you okay, Ms Douglas? »

« Um, yes I guess. » I lie. « I'll just have to make adjustments for the campaign. »

I have no idea how I'm going to figure this out. I have to cram 2 months worth of work in 2 weeks. This is going to be intense.

We talk for a bit before I leave his office. As I walk back to my desk, I have an idea. I head for my phone and look for Tae.

"Hi Tae! I just found out about the launch being brought up. I need to be in contact with everyone to organize the shootings. Can you help me out?"

Send.

I start brainstorming ideas after letting my team know what's going on. We share all our ideas on an online drive. I add what I gathered last night from Tae.

A few minutes later, my phone dings. It's from a groupchat created by Taehyung. All members are in it, plus me. I start typing a text to say hello to everyone, but something appears on the screen. It's from RM "Is this necessary?". I figure this is Namjoon, and oh my God he infuriates me! I decide to not react and send my text anyway.

"Hi all! I'll be using this groupchat to let you know what's going on with the campaign, and give you details for shootings and all that. Have a good day!"

Someone answers immediately "I can't wait!! This is gonna be epic". It's from J-Hope. I'm still not familiar with all their stages names but from the energy of the text, I'm guessing it's Hoseok. Another text comes in from Jimin. "Whatever".

This is going to be hard. I'm used to dealing with clients, but usually there's only one person at a time. Right now I have 7 people with their own personalities to handle. I can't let my emotions get the best of me.

I get back to work, and head for a meeting with the whole team. We spend 2 hours figuring out what the campaign will be like and the schedule.

I grab my phone as soon as we're out and type a text to the band.

"Ok guys, things will happen very fast. Starting on Thursday, we will have individual shoots for each one of you. I'll send you the schedule. Next Friday is the group shoot. Sorry about the rush."

I put my notes from the meeting back in my office and head for lunch. I'll be eating it in my office though. Thursday is 2 days away, and I have so much to do.

DING.

I check my phone.

"Hey, about what you said last night, could we meet tomorrow maybe? Yoongi"

I'm glad I came through to him. We decide to go for dinner in the city center.

The next hours are only dedicated to finding the perfect settings for shootings. Every individual shoot needs to be different, but the feel of the campaign has to be the same.

I don't think I've had a harder job to do.

The next day is the same. Meeting on top of meeting with every designer, stylist, photographer and everyone needed for the shoot. My team and I are exhausted, but we finally have everything planned out.

I get home at 5 pm and get ready for my dinner with Yoongi. I go for something casual, but chic. My black and red dress if perfect for tonight. I pair it with my long black coat and knee-high boots.

Gina’s outfit for the evening

He's already there when I get to the restaurant. I sit down in front of him in silence. We both feel awkward being around each other, but also at ease.

He looks very cute like this. He's wearing all black clothes, a cap covering his hair. His golden jewelry contrasts with his look, and make his eyes pop.

"So, how's work?" He starts, trying to break the ice. I can tell he doesn't feel like he belongs here.

"Well, you guys have got me running all over the place, but it's interesting."

"Yeah sorry about that, there was a mix in our tour dates" He looks as annoyed as I am by the change.

"That's okay! Let's just say it's showbiz. Plus, it gives me an opportunity to challenge myself." He's looking down, but I see him smile. "Please, tell me about your ideas!"

He looks up and starts exposing his thoughts. The more he talks, the more his face opens up. He's more relaxed on his chair too. He loves his job, I can tell. This is where he's comfortable. Talking about work. It's probably the same when he talks about music, or performs.

I take notes while he talks me through his vision. It's amazing. It corresponds with the vibe we've already set, so we can definitely integrate his ideas into his solo shoot.

We start eating, and make awkward smalltalk, each of us understanding that the other one isn't comfortable talking about their lives. But as we talk we feel ourselves getting looser around each other. We seem to be similar on certain aspects.

Both our phones bing at the same time. I'm guessing it's the groupchat. He looks at his phone and I think I see a sparkle in his eyes. He smiles as he reads the text.

"Hobi is excited for tomorrow" He lets me know. Hoseok is the first one to shoot and I think it's going to be fun. I think about his reaction when he saw it was a text from Hoseok. Weird..

"Are you close with the guys?" I ask him, hoping my question won't close him off again.

"Very" He answers after a few seconds. He hesitates to keep going, but he does so anyway "They're my family. I love them with all my heart, but like with all families, we have our ups and downs. By the way, I would like to apologize to you on behalf of Namjoon and Jimin. Jimin is not great these days, with the tour coming and the-" He stops himself. I question him with my eyes.

"It's not my story to tell" He continues "And Namjoon is just an asshole towards strangers. But he's particularly an asshole towards you, I don't understand why..."

"That's okay" I reassure him "We don't have to like each other, just act professionally. If I'm being honest, I don't like his vibe so I won't be talking to him unless it's for the campaign."

"Haha I like you, Gina" I can't help but smile as he says that. "I'm not the type to open up easily, but I feel drawn to you, in a soothing way."

"Weirdly I feel the same."

We look at each other for a second but quickly turn away from each other.

We just sit there in silence, while the restaurant empties itself. We leave too, and start walking through the streets of Seoul. His turtleneck and hat (and the fact that he's walking with me) cover the fact that he's an Idol. The city center is lovely tonight. There are still a lot of people in the streets, everything is lit up. The weather is nice too. Don't get me wrong it's fucking freezing, but it's not that bad for the end of February.

We don't say much while we walk. We just enjoy each others company. I haven't felt this comfortable around someone since Sarah. It's nice. It's weird to think a few hours ago we could barely have a conversation without feeling awkward, but right now we're walking around together.

"I had a great night" His voice is soft, and seems peaceful. Not like the rest of the time. I could sense the anxiety in him as soon as I saw him. I know too well what it looks like.

"Me too" I say back.

He hails a cab for me and gives money to the driver.

"Let's do this again" He opens the door for me and waves awkwardly goodbye. Aaaand he's back. I'm glad I got to see a glimpse of the real Yoongi tonight, even if it was for a few words.

I almost fall asleep in the cab. The intense days of brainstorming are catching up with me. I go straight to bed when I get home, knowing tomorrow is going to be a long day.

I can't wait though. Shootings are my favourite part of the job.

Power Style - Chapter Five : The aftermath

I can't believe I did this.

I'm alone in the living room while he's in the bathroom. Just me and my thoughts.

I want to slap myself for being so stupid. This is why I don't drink while working. I always do this at bars. Get drunk, kiss a guy, bring him home. But this is a client. I fucked up big time.

He walks back into the living room, and I jump to my feet.

« Taehyung, I would like to sincerely apologize for what just happened, I crossed a line. I shouldn't have drank this much, and I souldn't have kissed you. But please don't let this jeopardize the account, I need this. »

He laughs. EXCUSE ME?! I'm practically begging and crying, and he laughs at me!

« Sit back down Gina. » I do as I'm told.

« I couldn't care less » He continues. Okay, that was harsh. « I mean, I know I gave mixed signals. It's partly my fault. But don't think this changes anything professionally. I really like your work, and want to do this campaign with you. If anything this helped me figure out who you are. »

I relax just a bit. What does he mean he knows me? Oh fuck, he probably thinks I'm a slut.

« What do you mean? » I ask.

« Well, I like to know who I work with. I always do this. Invite people over to get to know them outside of their workplace. I'm very good at reading people. » he says, turning to me. The cutest smile is on his face.

« Okay so who am I? »

He laughs. « I think you are a very smart strong-willed woman, but you have suffered a great deal in your life. Which is why you look for comfort in men. No stable relationship these days huh? »

I'm a bit thrown. He got all that just today?

« Um..no. » I tell him

« That's what I thought. » He has a serious look on his face. His eybrows are frowned, letting a little crease appear between them. His jaw is clenched, his hand stroking it.

« I would love to get to know you better, you seem like a very interesting person. Of course, in your own time. »

I take some time to answer. I really don't know what to say. I tend to block away my old life, not letting anything through. How did he manage to see that?

« Let's change subject » He realizes I'm uncomfortable.

« Yeah, sure » I gather myself « So, Jungkook huh? »

His eyes light up, the softest smirk appears on his face.

« Yeah. »

We start talking about them. He tells me how he's known Jungkook for almost 10 years, and has seen him grow up into a man. He explains how he has always known he was gay, but not Jungkook, who is struggling to accept himself.

I listen to him express his feelings. We talk for what seems like 5 minutes, without realizing his phone is blowing up.

We're brought back by the sound of a phone call. By the time he gets his phone, it has stopped ringing.

« Do you mind? » He asks, pointing to the vocal notes on his phone. I shrug my shoulders with a smile, indicating that he can listen.

The sound blasts from the speakers. He was probably on Bluetooth and forgot about it.

I recognize Namjoon's voice.

« Tae, what the fuck, why aren't you answering? Don't tell me you're still with that bitch »

He looks at me apologetically. I stare into the view, and take a sip of my drink. I don't know why, but I feel the indiffrent towards Namjoon. Well, not totally. I kind of hate his guts. Our energies just don't vibe. I felt it as soon as he walked into the conference room. I'll just have to deal with for the sake of the campaign.

Tae catches up with his texts rather quickly. As he sits back down beside me, he says with a smile

« Jin likes you »

I go red.

« I kind of figured this morning. »

« You would look cute together » he tells me.

I smile at him. I decide to check my phone too. I look at my screen and jump to my feet.

« Fuck it's 2 am! I have to go home! »

« Calm down Gina » he's standing beside me now « My car will drive you »

« Sorry, um, thank you » I really have to get back home, I can't be late for work. « Thanks for having me over, I had a great time! And sorry again for the - »

« Let's never mention it again » he brings me in for a hug « Be safe, I'll see you soon »

The car drives through Seoul. It has a different feel at night. I love this place so much.

As soon as I get to my place I take my clothes and makeup off and go to bed.

I'm woken up what feels like 10 minutes later by my final alarm. FUCK. I overslept.

I run around getting ready, not forgetting to take a painkiller. I had way too much to drink last night.

15 minutes later, I'm out the door, running towards work. I hate being late.

I make it to my office just before M.Yi gets in. Phew!

As I'm going to get a cup of coffee, my boss calls me into his office.

« Ms Douglas! How are you today »

« I'm well, thank you Sir. How about you? »

« I could be better if I'm being honest. I'm just off the phone with the stylists. The BTS collection launch has been brought up to march. »

WHAT. I fall down on the chair facing M.Yi. That's 2 weeks from now.

Power Style - Chapter Four : The dinner

We look at each other with surprise. I wasn't expecting to see him here. Does this mean it's a dinner with all the guys?

« Um.. hi » he says, not understanding why I'm at the doorstep « Did Tae invite you? »

« Hi, well yeah.. uh he wanted to run some ideas by me. » I don't know how to act around him it's weird. I feel drawn to him, but don't understand him. I know there's more than this version he puts out to the world.

He lets me in the apartment.

« What about you? » I ask

He looks at me, and I almost see a smirk on his face.

« I actually live here, with Tae »

« Oh! Sorry I didn't know! »

« That's okay, you couldn't have »

It makes sense that some of the guys live together. We're now walking in a hallway filled with pictures of the band at award shows, concerts, red carpets. I can't help but look at them. They do look really good.

« So do the others live together as well? » I ask, trying to make conversation.

He's walking in front of me, I barely hear him answering.

« Kook and Jimin live together, not far from here, Jin and Hobi share an apartment closer to the center, and Joon lives by himself two streets away from here. »

I pick up on the knicknames and try to figure out which is which. It's not that hard, but I just need to adjust. I only know their birthnames.

« I see » I answer. I don't continue the conversation. I feel like he's not one for small talk.

We finally leave the hallway that seemed neverending and arrive in the biggest living room I've ever seen.

3 couches are set in the middle of the room, towards Seoul. I've never been this high up in a building before, the view is spectacular. A « wow » escapes my mouth. Yoongi shrugs.

« TAAAAAAAE! YOUR GUEST IS HERE! »

I turn around as he speaks. He's standing at the entrance of another hallway.

I keep looking around while I'm waiting. This really is a beautiful house. We're standing in one big room that combines living room and kitchen. The biggest kitchen island I've ever seen seperates the two rooms. Everything is decorated with taste, all in shades of grey, gold and white.

Yoongi hands me a drink while I'm still contemplating the room.

« White, I figured »

I smile at him, taking the glass in my hand. He's good.

« Thank you! Um, Yoongi I was thinking, maybe we could go for a drink or whatever, so we can talk about the campaign? I would really love to have your input. » I need this. I don't know why, but I feel like he'll have great ideas.

« Um...sure, why not. Maybe we can - »

He's interrupted by a loud noise from the hallway. Taehyung comes out of it rubbing his elbow.

He looks gorgeous. He's dressed all in white, a simple shirt falling down seamlessly on his body, matching trousers that stop at his ankles, showing his barefeet.

FUCK. I just realized I didn't take my shoes off.

« Oh shit, sorry um shoes... I um.. » I can't think straight with him staring at me.

They both laugh « Don't worry » says Yoongi. « Right, I'm going leave you two now. »

As he's walking towards the bedroom area Îm guessing, he says something to Taehyung in Korean. I catch a glimpse. My Korean is not that good, but I understand something like « You could have warned me ».

Now it's just me and Taehyung. I feel hot. I don't know what to do. Breathe. Drink! Thank God I have a glass of wine in my hand. I take a big gulp.

Taehyung comes towards me, his elbow finally better. The closer he gets, the better he looks. I now see the details to his outfit. He has a few rings on, but not as big as this morning. He's wearing his iconic Chanel necklace matched with some earrings. His dark curls fall perfectly around his face, giving him that mysterious look that I love.

« May I call you Gina? » He asks

I feel my stomach going nuts, but I try to stay as professional as possible.

« Of course! We're going to be working together for quite sometime, it's better for us to be on first name basis. »

« In that case, you can call me Tae. Or V. »

« V? » I ask, while he walks towards the kitchen. I follow him and sit on one of the bar stools around the island.

« It's my stage name » he says, opening the fridge. He takes out a few containers, puts them in the microwave. « I'm sorry, I don't cook. But Yoongi made this last night and it was sooooo good. »

« That's okay! » I say. God, he's so cute when he talks about food.

I don't understand how he can go from baby to daddy in 3 seconds.

He leans on the island while the food is cooking. Yup, daddy is back.

We exchange some small talk while the food is heating up. We then head back to the living room. We sit on the floor and start eating.

We talk about the campaign, he has some really good ideas. I can see that he's more comfortable in his own space.

« Can I ask why you didn't mention any of those ideas in the meeting? They're all really good » Fuck, I'm drunk. I've just realized that we drank two bottles of wine already. Try keeping it together Gina.

« Well, the thing is » he starts, not thrown by my question « I always have ideas, but the guys - especially my Hyungs - discredit me all the time. So I'd rather shut up, and bring things up slowly »

« That must be hard »

« It's the way it is, you get used to it. » He sips his drink, looking ahead. I can sense some pain in his eyes. He is stunning right now. I see him from the side, the lights gently touching his skin, his jaw clenched. His traits are hard, but so sweet at the same time.

He turns to me and says « You look really good tonight by the way. »

I look down and smile. As I look back up, his eyes are still locked on me.

DON'T DO IT GINA, DON'T DO IT. Fuck it, I'm drunk.

I lean into his lips and give him a soft kiss. He answers to my kiss.

As I lean back from him, shaken by what just happened, he's smirking. WHAT THE FUCK DID I JUST DO.

He sits back up, leaning on the couch.

« Um wow. That was... unexpected » he starts.

I feel my face getting red. I can't believe I just did that. He sees that I'm getting tense.

« Oh no! Don't-»

I don't let him finish.

« I'm so sorry, I never should have done that. I'm gonna leave. I'm sorry. Oh my god, I-»

« Stop. » he cuts me off. « I'm very flattered. Really. You're a very beautiful woman. »

My cheeks get even redder, if it's possible.

He continues « The thing is though, I'm gay. »

WHAT?!

« And I'm kind of with Jungkook »

WHAAAAT?!

I take the information in. Wow. How did I not know this? Well, of course I didn't know. Idols aren't aloud to date girls, let alone boys.

« Oh, I see » I answer quietly « I mean, that's amazing for you guys! Um.. Sorry I don't know what to say. »

« That's okay. I'm going to the bathroom, it'll give you time to process.»

Power Style - Chapter Three : The panic

I stare at my phone. I just got a text from Kim Taehyung. The fact that I met him just a few hours ago is already insane to me, but the fact that he has my number is unthinkable.

Wait how did he get it? Nevermind, I actually don't give a fuck because he wants to see me.

I think about what to answer, but I can't think too long, he knows I've seen the text. Fucking iPhones.

I quickly type "That sounds good! Do you have something in mind? Gina Douglas"

I throw my phone away. Why is this so hard for me? I always do this with my clients, meet with them for drinks or whatever throughout the whole process. They always open up more outside of meetings.

My phone dings again. I go pick it up from my desk, realizing just now that I had been pacing around my office.

I look at the screen. I can't believe I'm texting Taehyung. "I was thinking you could come to my place, I would feel more comfortable."

Breathe. You've just been invited to his house. No big deal. AS IF! Oh my God, oh my God, oh my God! What does this mean, what does his house look like, what am I going to...WHAT AM I GONNA WEAR!!

Another bing from my phone stops the panicked stream of thoughts. Him again "How about 8? I'll send a car for you, just send me your address."

I quickly type in my address. Wow, I'm being picked up by a car, I feel so fancy.

I go back to my panic mode in less than 3 seconds. Ok, I meeting Taehyung in the evening at his place, to discuss a project we work together on.

I almost want to laugh at how ridiculous that sounds. No way I would've ever believed something like this would happen to me.

I try as hard as I can to keep working for the rest of the day, even though I can't stop thinking about tonight. I anxiously wait for my clock to read 4:30 so I can finally leave and go into panic mode at home.

I get back to my place in less than 10 minutes. It's usually a 20 minute walk from work to home. While I'm on the lift, I scroll in my phone, looking for Sarah. Sarah is my foster sister. We grew up together, she my only family to this day. Hell, she's my only friend.

It's 3:30 am in Philly, she'll definitely be awake. I press call, and hear her quirky voice after 2 ringtones.

"Baaaaaabe, how are you?"

"No time for that!" I shoot back. I'm happy to hear her voice, but I need her for something way more important than that. "Ok so my new clients, the K-Pop Idols BTS, Taehyung the beautiful one, you know right? Ok so he -"

"Wow wow wow, slow down babe! I didn't understand a single word"

"Sorry" I try to calm down as I'm getting out of the elevator, towards my apartment door. I explain the situation to her while I look for my keys in my bag. "Ok so, I have new clients at work, BTS. Fila are partnering up with them for a collection and sponsoring their tour. I'm in charge of the account, and met with them this morning."

"Babe that's amazing! Your first account as Director! And BTS, I've heard about them, their quite huge, right?"

"I guess so, but anyway. This one member, Taehyung, I've kind of crushed on him since I've seen him pretty much everywhere here in Seoul. Every magazine, all over social media and all that shit, right. After the meeting he texted me, and long story short, I'm going to his house tonight to discuss the campaign."

"Ooookay, just a sec'" She answers "Oh fuck, he is beautiful" I figure she was looking him up while I was talking. "You are one lucky girl!"

"Yeah maybe, I don't know but whatever! I'm calling because I don't know what to wear." I learned everything I know about fashion from her.

"I got you girl. But first, what vibe are we going for? What are your plans for tonight?"

"It's only a business meeting dude." I'm lying. I really want it to be more.

We spend an hour on the phone, switching to Facetime, and we finally have the outfit. A high-waisted teal pair of trousers, with detailed pockets, suited with a loose blouse in the same teal tones with dashes of white and soft pink. Very professional but also cosy. Very ME. I'll pair the outfit with my black boots. The short heal they have will keep the comfortable feel of the look. I'll of course be wearing a coat. It's the end winter, and it can get quite cold here in Seoul.

Gina’s outfit for the night

I get ready slowly. I know I have time, and don't want to be stressed about the stupid things I could face.

I pour myself a glass of white wine to help my nerves. I finish it at the same time as my makeup. I look at the clock. 7:30pm. The car should be here any minute.

As I was putting my makeup away, my phone rang.

"Hello, Gina Douglas?"

"Ms Douglas, this is the driver that M. Kim has sent for you. I have just arrived."

"I'll be right down!" I throw my coat on, grab my purse, and am out the door.

When I get downstairs, the driver opens the backdoor for me. I feel myself blushing, I'm not used to luxury.

We drive for about 20 minutes towards the fancier part of Seoul. I'm not surprised. The car stops at the bottom of a huge building. I'm dizzy just looking up.

I get even more uncomfortable as I realize that I am expected by the staff.  They guide me towards the elevator and press the highest button once I get in. Obviously, he has the penthouse.

The doors open to a hallway, with just one apartment. I ring the bell, and to my surprise, Yoongi opens the door.
