Looking at my wardrobe, I'm having trouble finding suitable clothes to wear. It would be weird to wear a turtleneck in the summer. But it is more embarrassing to walk around with all the red marks all over my neck and shoulder.

At last, I found a high collar shirt and I let my hair down, hopefully, no one will notice my neck.

Yoongi knock on my bedroom door.

🐱Yoongi: Are you done?

🦉Jihye: Almost ready! Give me another 10 minutes!

Yoongi keeps bugging me to go back to the studio with him. Unlike his usual, he seems to be quite hyperactive. In contrast, I'm super cranky due to the lack of sleep from last night. He just won't leave me alone!

I came out of my room, wearing a high collar shirt with a long denim skirt.

🦉Jihye: I can only stay for an hour or two. I need to fetch seol-tang from the pet hotel in the afternoon. He would have missed me so much for these few days absence.

🐱Yoongi: I can drive you to the pet hotel too.

🦉Jihye: It's okay. Aren't you supposed to be busy with the new album?

🐱Yoongi: The trailer shooting only begins tomorrow. Dance practice is in the evening. I'm free in the afternoon.

🦉Jihye: We'll see then. Let's go.

Yoongi stopped me from reaching the main door handle, and kiss me. Ever since last night, he is finding any kind of opportunity to kiss me. It was pleasant at a start until it became a little too much.

We went down to the underground carpark. He borrowed the company's car last night, so he driving it back. It is a good decision. Although my place is just two blocks away from BigHit's building but we are in broad daylight. It's best to enter the building through a car.

We arrived at the building and went up the elevator. Compared to the start of the year, there seems to be more new staff employed. Some of them already knew me and they greet me back. Yoongi leads me to the rows of studios, and we saw a guy and a girl came out from one of the studios.

I didn't know there is a female producer in Bighit. Interesting.

Yoongi called out to the guy: "Hyung~ You're here."

Yoongi introduced me to the two of them. The guy is Slow Rabbit and the girl's name is ADORA. DORA-ssi is rabbit hyung's junior and just joined BigHit two months ago. She is really talented and she participates in making a few tracks in the upcoming album.

After the greeting, Yoongi finally brought me into his studio. I have always been asking him to let me tour his studio. The day has finally come. His studio is neatly arranged with all his devices and toys. It's really interesting to see he has so many different elements placed in his studio, but everything blends in smoothly. He went up to his desktop and start clicking. I just sit quietly behind at the single person couch watching him.

🐱Yoongi: First Love. This will be my solo track for the upcoming album.

I listened carefully to the lyrics. It is about his love for the first piano and his childhood memories. It is also the second time I heard he mentioned about his crushed shoulders.

I went up to him and caress his shoulders.

🦉Jihye: Does it still hurts?

🐱Yoongi: Occasionally, when it rains.

🦉Jihye: It's okay. Everything has become better now and in the future.

The atmosphere is bubbling with pink. I'm sitting on the couch and Yoongi is on top of me, kissing me deeply. His hands start getting out of control.

🦉Jihye: Wait... It's a studio here.

🐱Yoongi: Exactly, the acoustic is better here.

------

Fortunately, or not. Someone knocks on the door and tries to open it. I'm glad that it's locked.

???: Hyung, you're inside? Open the door.

From the faint voice through the door, it seems to be Hoseok.

Yoongi looks super offended. I quickly arranged my hair and shirt and straighten them. Yoongi opens the door with an annoyed look.

🐴Hoseok: Ah Hyung, where have you been last night? Namjoon and I were looking for you for the rap arrangements. You also missed the briefing on the trailer filming schedule. And can you send me your completed part for the interlude?

It's only after Hoseok finished his whole chain of conversation, then he realized someone else is inside the studio, and it's Jihye.

🐴Hoseok: Oh! Jihye-ssi. You're here.

Hoseok looks at Yoongi's annoyed expression and realized he probably probe in at the wrong time. He quietly sneaks back "Ah hyung, it's okay. Take your time... I need to find Namjoon now."

🦉Jihye: Yoongi-ah. I should take my leave. You need time for your work.

Yoongi sighed and decided to send me off. We walk past the corridor, I saw Taehyung is talking on the phone, smiling brightly. He seems to be having a conversation with his grandpa.

🐿️ Seokjin: Oh! Jihye-ssi!

🦉Jihye: Oh Jin-ssi.

🐿️ Seokjin: Ah, why are you not calling me Oppa? Didn't we agree last time you will call me Oppa?

🦉Jihye: Ahhh... that... Yoongi said...

🐿️ Seokjin: I'm older than both of you, Yoongi calls me Hyung. Of course, you got to call me Oppa, isn't it? Am I not right, Yoongi-ah?

Yoongi sighed and just replied a 'yes'. Sometimes he just can't win over's Seokjin's logic.

🐿️ Seokjin: Jihye-ahh. I'm glad to see you in the building. But I got to say Yoongi, you are flaunting too much. Bringing Jihye-ssi around to show off to everyone.

🐱Yoongi: Hyung can also bring your girlfriend around if you have one.

Did I just hear the word Girlfriend? Well, of course. If he still didn't acknowledge me, I would kill him. But come to think of it, he has never formally asked me about it.

🐿️ Seokjin: Jo-ah, jo-ah! (Good, Good!) Then I'll bring my girlfriend around too.

Seokjin has a girlfriend? Yoongi and my eyes widen when we heard his words.

🐿️ Seokjin: Of course...... I'm joking. HAHAHAHAHA

Our conversation attracted some attention. Namjoon and Hoseok walked out of their studio.

🐨 Namjoon: Oh! Nuna. Good that you are still around.

🐨 Namjoon: Thanks for the books you shared with me last time. I read them and I really learned a lot. I realized some of the mistakes I made were really ignorant. Recently, I wrote a new song and I took the opportunity to contact the professor and asked for her advice. She is really a nice person to talk to. Thank you so much for introducing me to her.

🦉Jihye: I'm glad that I can help. Yoongi shared with me a little about the upcoming album. He said it is inspired by the novel Damien. I'm actually really interested in reading up the book as well after he shared it.

🐨 Namjoon: Oh really? It's really a good novel though. A little difficult to read as well, it took me a while to get the context. I have one copy with me. Would you like to borrow it? I even have notes written on it.

🦉Jihye: That would be awesome. I'm sure it will help me understand better too.

🐨 Namjoon: Great! Let me get it. I left it in my studio.

Namjoon handed me the novel and said: "I hope that you can get inspired too!"

------

After Jihye has left. Namjoon, Hoseok, and Yoongi are in Mon Studio having some men's talk.

🐴Hoseok: Ah~I'm sorry hyung. I really have no idea you and Jihye are inside.

🐨 Namjoon: Hyung~ What are both of you doing inside???

🐱Yoongi: Yaaa, Namjoon-ah. It's all because of you. The last time you said that the studio has better acoustic, so I wanted to test whether it's true or not. Indeed... it's not bad.

Namjoon and Hoseok cheered for Yoongi as if South Korea scored a goal for the world cup.

🐨 Namjoon: Hyung~살아있네! (Still alive!)

------

11: 47 p.m. Dance Practice Room

🐨 Namjoon: Hyung, I can't believe tomorrow is going to be soon. Our comeback for the WINGS album.

🐨 Namjoon: Just a blink of an eye, 3 years as passed. I still remember the first time we met each other in the office. We have reached so far, from just the AX hall, and soon we are performing at the Gocheok Dome. We have really received so much love from the ARMYs.

🐱Yoongi: Thinking back, I thought the group would fail. The vision we had at the start, as a hip-hop group. People come and go and we recruited the vocal lines. Frankly speaking, I was most puzzled when the agency recruited Jin Hyung. But he really proved himself over these years and made the most amount of progress.

🐨 Namjoon: Jin Hyung's character was the most difficult to understand to me. I really had a hard time relating to him. Yet are the same time, I am charmed by how a person who is the least competitive is the most hardworking at the same time.

🐨 Namjoon: Jin Hyung really outdo himself in this album. In fact, everyone did so well, I am really surprised. Now I can't help to set expectations for this album. But I'm fearful of the disappointment.

🐱Yoongi: I'm can't help to expect something as well, but I really do not want to focus too much on it. Making good music for our fans is my main priority. Whatever comes along is a bonus. What I am worried about is the expectation for the next album. Bang PD-nim now hand us the steering wheel completely to decide on the theme.

🐨 Namjoon: I think throughout the 6 years since pre-debut, we been so hard on ourselves with all the criticisms and hate. It hurts us so much mentally and emotionally. I've seen Dr. Kwon a few times to discuss it. When we talk about LOVE, we focus too much on fitting ourselves to others' expectations in order to receive their love. But if we lose ourselves, how can we even FEEL love?

[Jihye's POV]

Yewon unnie gave me a call and ask me to meet her up over a cup of coffee.

She hands me an envelope with a card inside.

🦢Yewon: This is for you.

I opened it up and it is a wedding invitation!

🦉Jihye: Unnie!

🦢Yewon: Remember I told you about my boyfriend in the military service? He proposed to me last month, and I said yes! Our wedding is next year in January.

🦉Jihye: That's such good news! I will definitely make myself available for the wedding ceremony!

🦢Yewon: So how is it going with you and SUGA?

🦉Jihye: We are doing just fine. He's really nice to me. Although he barely uses his words to express his love. But the fact that he brought me to his studio and meet the other members and staff. I believe that he is serious.

🦢Yewon: That's good to hear. I'm going to break my wedding news to SUGA later at the fan sign event later.

🦢Yewon: Since I am going to be a married woman, I would not be as active as the fansite administrator anymore. I also believe it's time for me to take a break from idol chasing and start another chapter of my life.

------

🦢Yewon: Yoongi-ah. I'm sorry, I don't think I can attend the fan sign events as frequent from now on.

🐱SUGA: Why?

🦢Yewon: I'm getting married next year in January.

🐱SUGA: Oh, congratulation nuna. Thank you for your constant support for us these three years. You are always present for all our fan signs.

🦢Yewon: Yea. That's a total of 77 fansigns. I'm also impressed with myself.

🐱SUGA: Do you need Bangtan for the wedding and sing for you?

🦢Yewon: I'm scared I might regret the wedding if you're there. Hahaha.

🦢Yewon: Can I put on this choker and cat ears for you since its gonna be my last time here?

SUGA did not say a word and bring his head forward for Yewon.
