ENJOY GOLDEN PART 9! Also listen to this. Bye.

Chloe and you never had serious fights. Sure, there had been times when both of you got angry at one another. Like, for instance, the time when Chloe accidentally told your mother that you lost your virginity in high school or when you accidentally ripped Chloe’s favorite green crop top that she swore on her grandmother’s grave was lucky – she claimed it was what helped her get into college. Still, those times and the others were nothing too dramatic. You always felt like your friendship was too strong to get mad at each other over trivial things like middle schoolers. Chloe was hot-tempered and – let’s just all admit it – wild. She did some pretty outrageous things and got angered quickly over others. Still, she’d always come back to her senses once having a few hours to cool off. So, with that logic, you were almost certain Chloe would return the next day after you guys little fight from the night your friends and you went out to dinner. However, the day turned into a week and suddenly it was the end of midterm week and you both had one final midterm to complete in creative writing. You hoped she would show up to the midterm today since she hasn’t been to class all week and even missed the review day. You hadn’t physically seen her in the dorm room you shared but you assumed she’s been in there in your absence since some of her stuff have been disappearing all week. However, you knew you’d definitely make contact with her today considering she left her room key on the bathroom counter. You noticed it this morning when getting ready to go to your final midterm. You planned out everything in your head. You’d try to finish the midterm around the same time as her and try to catch her in the hall. There, you’d quickly show her that you had her key, which she’d no doubt would try to snatch from your grasp, and you’d explain to her the entire Namjoon situation and pray that she’d be understanding. If she cooperated – which she should – then you’d finally give her the key back and hug it out like the best friends you were.

Chloe must’ve liked Namjoon more than you originally thought. She would never behave like this towards you for any other guy. In fact, she’d probably own up to whatever guy she liked that, yeah, she had a blog about her feelings for them and what were they going to do about it? Nothing. That’s what. However, after this entire incident, you knew to Chloe, Namjoon was more than just a temporary crush. She held legitimate feelings for the man. Though she showed it in outrageous ways, it was all sincere.

Sighing, you rinsed your mouth from brushing your teeth and grabbed Chloe’s key off the counter and exited the bathroom. As you walked over to your desk to grab your things to begin your walk to your midterm, there was a knock on the door. Who was up at 6am other than the other students who had 8am midterms? More so, why were at your door at 6am? Suddenly, you looked down at the key in your hand and remembered Chloe. She must’ve finally realized she didn’t have her key and came back to retrieve it. This would work out perfectly. Instead of trying to talk to her after the midterm, you’d just explain things to her now and maybe you guys could walk to creative writing together. Quickly, you slung your bookbag over your shoulder and rushed to the door.

“Chloe – oh…” The smile on your face turned into a frown as Park Jimin leaned sleepily on your doorframe.

“I would comment on how you’re not happy to see me but it’s too damn early…” He yawned as he pulled himself off the frame and held his hand out. “I need Chloe’s dorm room key.”

You bit the inside of your cheek. Did she really send Jimin here to fetch her key for her? “Uh… it’s okay. I can give it to her after our midterm.”

Hearing this caused Jimin to perk up a little. “I don’t think you fully understand how pissed she is at you. Like she’d held some pent-up anger for a while and this Namjoon thing has set her off.”

“I wasn’t even the one who told Namjoon about the blog!” You threw your hands up in the air. “Look, I’m going to explain everything to her after the midterm today.”

“She already took the midterm. She made some excuse of how she had to leave early to go home for fall break because her cat is sick and your professor felt bad for her so she let her take it early,” Jimin rolled his eyes. You both knew Chloe didn’t own a cat. However, it was just like Chloe to use that excuse. In the beginning of the semester, when showing an example of how the blogs should be, your professor admitted her love for cats and showed off her blog dedicated to them.

“So, if she’s gone, why does she need her key?” You arched a brow at the brown-haired boy. He let out a heavy sigh.

“I don’t know. She leaves today. I guess she needs to get some things before taking off,” Jimin shrugged. “Just give me the key. Don’t you two live in the same city? Just meet up over break and talk things out, geez.”

“Where is she now?”

“I can’t disclose that information…” He turned his gaze to the ceiling. Frowning you yanked him by his shirt and bought him down to your height.

“Park Jimin, tell me where she is.”

“Don’t you have a midterm to attend?” He asked as he tried to pry your fingers off him. Geez, why did he have such violent girl friends? Sighing you let him go and handed over the key. There was honestly no use in talking to Chloe right now. If she had Jimin come retrieve her belongings, then that mean she was still highly upset with you. Still, you needed to talk to her about the situation. That, and you haven’t even told her about your meeting – date – with Taehyung tonight.

“Thanks for the key, see you later,” Jimin said as he began walking off. He stopped suddenly before turning back to you. “Don’t you have a date tonight?”

“It’s not a date,” You grumbled as you slammed your dorm room door shut behind you.

GoldenRecs: How does Creative Writing even have a midterm? I have no idea. No recommendations until Friday after exams. Sorry. If you’re in my CW class, let’s meet up to study, okay? :)

You sighed as you scrolled through Golden’s blog while waiting for your professor to arrive to begin the midterm. You secretly hoped he would have his recommendation up already before creative writing so some stress would be relieved. However, that wasn’t the case. Looking up, you saw Taehyung and Jungkook sitting beside one another. You decided to steer clear of the two in class since you were still unsure of which one was Golden and VMusic95. They just thought that you were more comfortable with sitting in the back than the front. Well, Taehyung assumed that. Jungkook just stared at you which made your face heat up in a blush. You didn’t know what it was about the boy that made you slightly nervous.

Your heart leapt at the sight of them sharing earbuds. From what you could see, they were listening to songs on each other’s phone. Taehyung must’ve agreed to whatever he was listening to on Jungkook’s phone as he turned to the boy and gave him two thumbs up. Jungkook just nodded at him before turning his attention back to his phone. Sighing, you opened your blog back up to see if Vmusic95 responded to the message you sent him earlier in the week. On Monday, while trying to stalk Chloe’s blog, you immediately realized you were blocked as her blog said you didn’t have permission to view her blog. Honestly, if Chloe would just listen then she’d understand this entire situation and see she’s upset at you for no reason. After not knowing how to approach Chloe, you turned to the other mysterious blog who you agreed to be friends with. Sometimes it was nice to receive advice from complete strangers. Well, he wasn’t a complete stranger…

You glanced up at Jungkook one more time as he began to put his phone and stuff away because the professor arrived. Quickly, you glanced back down to open your messages to see if he replied. As usual, you had to scroll past all the anon hate you received on almost a daily basis because of Golden. The wave of hate swarmed in over the weekend because people were upset that Golden referred to you as his friend.

Anon: So just to clarify, is y/n your friend? Or just someone you know and happen to follow back?

GoldenRecs: A friend.

Apparently, even to be friends with Golden was a crime to these people. God forbid they ever find out the other mysterious person who Golden talked to on an almost daily basis. They were an anon who only referred to themselves as E.M. You didn’t want to assume it was a girl but you did and it made you quite upset. Even if it wasn’t a girl, you still felt jealous. They could easily talk to Golden while you were too nervous to even send him a hi. He claimed you guys were friends but yet, you found yourself shying away when trying to talk to him. Maybe it was because he was so popular or… it was just the obvious feelings you had for the guy.

DancerCookies: Hey… care to offer advice? My friend is upset at me over something I had no control over and she thinks I did it. What should I do?

VMusic95: Hm… your friend sounds… difficult. No offense! Why don’t you guys talk things out like adults? I mean, we’re college kids, after all. If she’s not willing to cooperate, then is she a friend? Also, off topic, but I can’t wait to officially meet you in four weeks when we reveal ourselves!

We. We as in Golden and him. Four weeks was all that remained of the semester. Four weeks was all you had left until you’d finally see Taehyung admit he was Golden to the class – and university – that was obsessed with him and his blog. Four weeks until you had to make a final decision on your major and what you planned to do for the rest of your life.

“Y/N here,” Your classmate tapped you on the shoulder with the exam papers. Snapping out of your thoughts, you thanked them and took the paper.

Four weeks seemed like it was just around the corner and you weren’t prepared for everything that was about to be thrown at you.

“Woo! I can’t wait to go home for break!” Taehyung shouted excitedly as he and Jungkook exited their creative writing midterm. “That was my last one. How about you?”

“I have one more…” Jungkook said as he pulled out his phone to check the plethora of messages he was positive he had received while taking the 30-minute midterm.

“Ah, Golden is always buzzing, huh?” Taehyung playfully bumped Jungkook’s shoulder only to receive a glare from the younger boy.

“Way to say that aloud in public,” He frowned. Taehyung just defensively put up his hands and laughed it off.

“Sorry. So hey, I’m meeting with Y/N tonight,” Taehyung changed the topic. At the mention of the girl’s name, Jungkook’s fingers froze in place from responding to one of his messages. He had temporarily forgotten that Taehyung had a date with her tonight.

“Yeah…” He said slowly as he tried to regain his concentration on his phone.

“I wanna take her somewhere cool before we go on fall break so she can think of me all weekend!” Taehyung grinned.

“You’re hanging around Jimin too much,” Jungkook rolled his eyes and began to walk in the direction of his dorm.

Taehyung quickly walked in front of Jungkook to stop him from walking and to pay attention to him. “You talk to her, right? What does she like to do?”

Jungkook blinked at the man in front of him. Why was he asking him for advice about where to take someone? Sure, Jungkook had a past with being popular with ladies – he still is – despite being shy, still, Taehyung had far more experience in the dating department than he did. Was he really that into Y/N? And if he was, how would he let him know he was into her as well? It’s only been a couple weeks but the time he’s spent with her has been amazing. He was still upset that Taehyung was able to ask the girl to hang out alone before he was.

“Uh… she likes to dance. She’s a great dancer, in fact! And she cooks well, apparently,” Jungkook shrugged. “Also, she doesn’t hold liquor well so try to avoid alcohol…”

“Thanks – hey – how do you know she doesn’t hold alcohol well?” Taehyung arched a brow at the boy. His face flushed as he shrugged again.

“Uh… I was near her at the party when it got to her…”

“Ah, that’s right. So dancing and cooking, huh? I just need to know a couple of things about her to talk to her about at dinner. Thanks for the advice! I’m gonna go catch some sleep before going to pick her up later! You’re going home after your last midterm, right? Good luck,” Taehyung waved to Jungkook as he took off in the direction of his own dorm. Jungkook let out a heavy sigh as he looked up to the clear sky above him. How has this girl who was supposed to be no one but Namjoon’s good friend and an acquaintance to the rest of the boys gone and stole two of their hearts in the course of three weeks? Jungkook didn’t know but he did know one thing.

He couldn’t let Taehyung have her.

Hi! You’ve reached Chloe. I’m not answering my phone for reasons but I’ll call you back later. Maybe. Don’t count on it. Unless you’re my mom.

You sighed as you hung up the phone. You’ve been trying to reach Chloe since you got out of your midterm. Vmusic95 was right about talking things out – though you already thought of doing that already – and if Chloe wasn’t willing to talk then maybe you guys weren’t as close as you thought you guys were. She’s been there through thick and thin for you since you’ve known her and you’d hate to see it all go down the drain over a misunderstanding. Opening your phone again, you decided to check Golden’s blog for an update. However, nothing was updated except for a few messages he answered. Inhaling a deep breath, you decided to message him. You needed a good song recommendation today and usually he was spot on about your feelings whether he knew it or not. That’s one of the reasons you crushed on him. He was somehow in tune with you.

DancerCookies: It's Friday... could really use a song recommendation right about now lol...

Logging out of the app, you looked at the time. You had to finish packing for the weekend before getting ready to go out with Taehyung. Glancing at your half-packed bag beside you, you decided to give Chloe another call first.

Hi! You’ve reached Chloe...

Taehyung didn’t mention where you guys were going so you honestly didn’t know what to wear. So, you based your outfit off the chilly autumn air. You figured wherever you guys ended up going, it would lead into the night since it was already in the evening. You ended up wearing a mustard colored light sweater, distressed jeans, and your favorite pair of Timbs. After applying a bit of makeup, you checked yourself out in the bathroom mirror. It was a simple but cute outfit. You didn’t want to give him the impression that you put too much thought in your outfit even if you really did. You were going out with Golden after all. Your heart leapt at the fact. If you weren’t so scared to stand up to the hate you got on your blog, you’d most definitely tease the desperate girls who planned to ask Golden out once he revealed himself. But… weren’t you also one of those girls?

You were in the same position as the other girls who crushed on the mysterious blogger. What made you any different from the rest of them besides the fact that maybe – just maybe – you might know his true identity? Other than that, you still didn’t know who he was - you crushed on an almost complete stranger - and your crush was based only on his suave online personality and music taste just like the other girls on his blog. Still, there had to be something about you that made you different, right? He did decide to be your friend. Or maybe that was just because of Namjoon and Jimin influencing him to befriend you?

You shook the thoughts from your head as you heard a knock from the door. He was here. Snatching your room key off your desk, you ran to the door and answered it. There stood Taehyung in a green sweater with a light brown jacket over it and baggy jeans. He grinned his square shaped grin at you as a blush creeped up on your face.

“Ready to go?” He asked excitedly.

“Uh yeah,” You shyly smiled at him as you fully stepped out of your dorm and shut the door behind you.

“Great! I hope you know how to skate!”

And with that the smile faded from your face.

Roller skating wasn’t your thing. It wasn’t your thing when you were five and fell face down on the pavement at your aunt’s house and bled in multiple places. It wasn’t your thing at your 12th birthday party when you tried to give it another chance and ended up falling on your ass in front of your crush. You expected a fairy tale situation to happen when you fell and he’d quickly come to rescue you but instead he laughed until he had to gasp for air. And roller skating definitely wasn’t your thing now.

There was a rink on the other side of campus. It was a rundown place considering it was built when the Disco was still popular and the bright neon colors painted on the building was now chipping off to reveal the aged white paint underneath. You remember your mom telling you stories about how she’d get her college friends to help sneak her in since back then it only permitted college kids. The inside had a decent wooden skating rink that had seen better days and desperately needed a good polishing. The multicolored polka dot carpet was also aged and gave the place a smell of mildew and sweat that’s been concentrated there for decades. It frightened you to even think about putting your feet in the rental skates. If the place looked like this, just imagined the condition of the skates. But, you were going to make the best of the situation. You were here with Taehyung. Taehyung who was supposedly Golden.

“Hey, I’m gonna go to the restroom really quick,” Taehyung smiled at you as you tied up your skates.

“You’re gonna pee while in skates?” You blinked at him. If you were to do that, you’d probably end up giving yourself an unintentional swirly.

“Yeah, it’s no big deal,” He grinned at you before skating off towards the restrooms. Sighing, you scooted back further onto the wooden bench you sat upon. How was this evening going to play out? The last thing you needed was to break anything. That and you’d hate to embarrass yourself in front of the almost perfect Golden.

Bzz. Bzz.

You reached into your pocket to retrieve your phone to read your notification. It was probably your mom wondering what time were you going to arrive at the bus station tomorrow. Clicking on your phone, your eyes widened at the notification from the blogging app.

GoldenRecs has replied to your message: 37 seconds ago

You glanced up to the restrooms and saw Taehyung had yet to appear. Did he excuse himself to reply to the message you sent him earlier? Not wasting another second, you clicked on the notification to open the app.

GoldenRecs: Your wish will be granted soon, princess.

Immediately your face flushed a deep red from the nickname. Princess? What had gotten into Golden? The hate was going to be strong now. Of course, he could’ve meant it in a sarcastic way as to say, “don’t rush me,” but somehow you knew he didn’t mean it in that context.

“Hey, ready to get your skate on?” Taehyung smiled as he gracefully glided over to you. You instantly looked up and shoved your phone back into your pocket and stood up. To your dismay, you immediately began to lose your balance on the skates and wobbled slightly. Taehyung quickly reached for your arm to help balance you and you threw him an apologetic look.

“Sorry, I’m a really horrible skater,” You rubbed the back of your neck nervously.

“It’s okay, you can just hold on to me the entire time, okay?” He winked at you as he led you to the floor. Meanwhile you tried to use your hair to cover the blood red blush on your face.

“You’re doing great,” Taehyung grinned as he looked down to your hands that were clutching onto his arm tightly.

“My legs are going to give out any second,” You said through gritted teeth as you focused on the ground below you. The back of your calves was on fire which surprised you. You thought since you were a dancer and highly flexible you wouldn’t feel pain from lack of stretching but here you are struggling – dying – to complete the fifth go around on the roller rink. The place wasn’t too crowded besides a couple of fellow university students who probably didn’t have plans to go home for the short break. So, with that you didn’t have to worry about accidentally bumping into someone and causing everyone to tumble over – something that actually happened when you were 17. Like you said, skating just wasn’t your thing.

“You wanna take a break,” Worry filled Taehyung’s eyes as he slowed down some. You were about to nod your head until a familiar song came on the speakers. It was Tori Kelly’s Paper Hearts. Also, known as the song you stretched to before beginning a dance. It was easily your favorite song. Sometimes you and Jimin would bellow the song out loudly around Chloe to annoy her. She loved the song but just not when you guys sung it.

“Wait, let’s skate to this song then take a break?” You said as you held tightly onto Taehyung as you shook out your legs to prepare them to go around the rink for the duration of the song. Taehyung nodded as he kicked off to start skating again.

“So, you like this song too, huh?” He asked as he looked down at you. For the first time a small smile was on your face as you focused your attention in front of you instead of on the floor. This caused a smile to appear on Taehyung’s face also. You were honestly an adorable girl.

“Yeah! Jimin told me about it! I love it! I stretch to it before every dance I do!”

“Jungkook likes this song, too! He randomly started listening to it a couple of weeks ago.”

You felt your heart pang at the mention of the younger boy’s name. Why did it do that? “Yeah, it’s an amazing song, right?”

“Eh, it’s okay. Not really my style,” Taehyung shrugged as you two rounded a corner. The smile that was on your face faltered a little at his answer. This song was definitely down Golden’s alley. At least you thought so anyway. Maybe you didn’t know Golden’s style of music as well as you had initially thought. Shaking it off, you returned your smile and glanced up at Taehyung.

“So Tae, you’re a junior, right? What’s your major?”

“Theater major and music minor. I wanna be on Broadway,” He smiled proudly. You stared at him in awe for a second as you imagined him on stage performing. There’s no doubt he’d be phenomenal. Your second of admiration ended quickly, though, as you began to trip up on your skates.

“Careful,” Tae laughed as he gripped onto you tighter. You just sheepishly laughed as you tried to shake off your embarrassment. “What’s your major? Dance? Jungkook told me you danced… and cooked.”

This time your smile completely fell. You haven’t thought about your major at all this week because of midterms, the fallout with Chloe, and this date. What were you going to tell him? You were undecided? It wouldn’t be a lie but how would he view you? Would he see you as someone who didn’t have their life together? You were a smart girl it’s just, making a final decision now that would determine your future was frightening. Sure, there were plenty of college students who were undecided but this wasn’t like you. You were always so sure about your life but this… you just weren’t sure about. And it deeply bothered you. Even Chloe, who wasn’t even planning on going to college, had her major declared and was literally in love with it. That was another fear. What if you chose something and ended up hating it? You loved dancing and cooking but what if once you really began to study it, you begin to hate it? Honestly, you couldn’t live without one or the other. And what about your mom and grandmother? They both want you to pursue different paths. How could you choose without disappointing one of them?

“Undecided?” Taehyung asked suddenly, snapping you from your thoughts.

“Ah… yeah… how’d you know?”

“You started skating perfectly all of a sudden,” Taehyung laughed as you quickly looked down to see that, in fact, you were skating without any mishaps. “When you don’t think about it and let it happen naturally, you skate just fine. Anyways, also I know because you looked stressed all of a sudden.”

“Ah…” You said as you frowned slightly.

“It’s okay. Don’t stress it. You’ll figure it out.”

“Yeah but-“

“Hey! The song’s over! Wanna grab something to eat?” Taehyung said, cutting you off. You just nodded before he began to lead you off the floor. Biting your lip, you looked at him. Why were you disappointed suddenly? You wanted to ask how he decided on his major – how he’d know it was the right choice for him? Golden for sure would offer a piece of advice and how he conquered his problems. Why did Taehyung just… brush it off? Was Golden just an online persona for him? How could the same person be so… different?

Jungkook sighed as he laid on his bed in his darkened dorm room. His roommate had left earlier in the day to return home so that left Jungkook to become lost in his thoughts. He could’ve gone to visit Jimin or Namjoon but he just didn’t feel like dealing with people. Instead, he wondered what Taehyung and Y/N were doing on their date. He had received her message earlier and made sure to reply when he was sure she was near Taehyung. Jungkook secretly hoped Golden would be all she could think about while with the older man since he purposefully called her “princess.” He even secretly dedicated another recommendation to her. She seemed so stressed over choosing a major and her midterms and he felt the need to reassure her on things. That, and Jimin accidentally let it slip that her and her best friend weren’t speaking currently because of Namjoon or something. So Jungkook felt it would a perfect indirect response to her feelings:

This Week’s Recommendation: IU - Beautiful Dancer

Shout out to my wife for making this beautiful song. Know what else is beautiful? You guys. If something is bothering you or you’re unsure of yourself, just know you can do ANYTHING you put your mind to and overcome ALL obstacles life throws your way. Don’t give up. Don’t know what you wanna do with your life? You’ll figure something out. Don’t know how to handle an upsetting situation? It’ll work out eventually. Just don’t give up and keep fighting and smiling. See you all next Wednesday. Also, do any of you know a beautiful dancer? I know one :)

-Golden

Letting out a groan, he grabbed his pillow and covered his head with it. Why did he call her princess? That was so out of character for him. Well, Golden is the more outgoing side of Jungkook but still. It was going to be embarrassing on the day of the final when he reveals himself to everyone – to her. She’d definitely remember the message. He would if he was her.

Bzz.

Jungkook’s hand blindly felt around on his bed for his phone. Grabbing it and turning it on, he squinted his eyes from the screen’s bright glow. There were about 100 notifications from his blog and a text from his mom asking was he coming home tomorrow for fall break. Jungkook hadn’t planned on leaving but maybe going to spend time with his family would be a nice break from the stress of college. After responding to his mom with a, “yes,” he scrolled down his messages. His eyes immediately widened as he came across a message he received a couple of seconds ago.

Anon: Your fave anon is here to bless you with her presence! But be quick, her bus for her city leaves in a few minutes! So let's make this quick, shall we, Golden? -NJsC

What were they talking about? Jungkook blinked confusedly as he began to response to the message. They’ve been missing for weeks and suddenly they appear and leaves cryptic messages.

GoldenRecs: Ah, my favorite stalker. Long time, no talk. Also what are we making quick? Are you going to quickly tell me what NJsC stands for, Nick Jonas Mysterious C?

Jungkook reread over the message one more time after posting it to his blog. Usually Nick Jonas Mysterious C replied quickly so he kept refreshing his messages awaiting their reply. To his dismay, it didn’t seem like they were going to send another message. Just as Jungkook clicked off his phone there was a knock at his bedroom door and a vibration from his phone to signal a new message had arrived. It was probably Jimin coming to annoy him or something. He knew he shouldn’t have told him that he was just lounging around in his dorm. Jimin always took that as some sort of invitation to come over. He’d respond to NJsC’s new message after he shooed Jimin away.

Hoping out of his bed, Jungkook dragged his feet to the door to open it. His eyes widened at he stared at the blonde woman standing in his door. She had an overstuffed backpack on her back that made it appear as if she was running away from home but Jungkook knew she was probably just going home for the weekend.

“Uh… can I help you-“ Jungkook was shushed as the woman placed a finger on his lips to stop him from talking.

“NJsC. Namjoon’s Chloe. I know who you are and now you know who I am,” Chloe said as she watched Jungkook’s eyes widened.

Anon: Count to five and I’ll appear… -NJsC
