When you left Eunmi's apartment it was almost 10 am, you talked to her about everything that happened, your soulmate bond, and how everything had gone downhill in the past 24 hours. It felt kinda good to get everything off your chest. It was like a weight has lifted off your shoulders, you had always felt a little guilty hiding your relationship from her. You did, however, feel guilty for suspecting her and letting yourself get influenced by others. She wasn't the one who told the CEO's it wouldn't make any sense, why would he even have believed her? She was just a junior editor. She was your friend you should have trusted her.

Speaking of your friends you still had to tell them everything. You sighed when you took your phone out of your pocket, this was going to be a mess. Luckily BigHit was well guarded otherwise the CEO was in for a treat, Jieun and Haneul are going to go mental. In the group chat, you called for an emergency meeting at your house as soon as they left work. No way you were going to tell them over chat what had happened. As you suspected they didn't reply immediately they were both at work. You were sure that if you called them they would probably pick up after a few tries but then they would try to pry out all the information over the phone and you wanted to tell this to them in person. Your friends would probably finish work around 5 pm so you still had a lot of time before then.

After you sent the message to your friend you dialed Yoongi's number. His emotions had been all over the place. Not that your emotion had been any better, but you wanted to make sure he was okay and let him know you were on your way back.

''Hey,'' You said when Yoongi answered the phone, ''Are you okay?''

''As good as can be expected,'' Yoongi replied and sighed, ''How did it go with Eunmi.''

''Good,'' You said, ''She is going to ask around and see if she can get information about who the source was.''

''Are you sure it isn't her?'' Yoongi replied and sighed, ''Look, I don't want to accuse your friend, but she is the only one who had the opportunity.''

''So had all the BTS members,'' You replied irritated.

''They would never,'' Yoongi replied in a serious voice, ''I trust them with my life, they didn't tell anyone.''

''And I trust Eunmi,'' You responded still irritated, Yoongi didn't seem to trust your judgment of Eunmi, ''She didn't do it either.''

''If you trust her, I trust her,'' Yoongi said in a gentle voice, ''It's just I can't think of anyone and it bothers me so much. There weren't many people who knew and I can't imagine anyone finding out, we had been so careful. It must be someone who of our relationship, but who?''

''Not necessarily,'' You replied, ''Do you remember the CEO said he had a picture of me with some employee, I might have figured out where they got that.''

''What? How?'' Yoongi asked shocked.

''It's a long story,'' You replied not wanting to tell him over the phone about the producer or the office party in general, ''Are you still at the dorm?''

''Yeah,'' Yoongi replied, ''but I'd like to get out for awhile. Everything here reminds me of what I happened yesterday, can we go to your apartment?''

''Oh, yeah sure,'' You hadn't expected Yoongi to want to go to your apartment, ''I'll tell everything I found out when you get there okay?''

''Can't you tell me over the phone?'' Yoongi asked curiously.

''I rather explain everything in person.'' You responded carefully, ''It's a long story okay?''

''Yeah okay,'' Yoongi sounded a little disappointed, ''I'll see you at the apartment then.''

''See you soon,'' You replied and hung up the phone.

Yoongi had also been at the office party but you didn't know if he had seen you with the producer or not. Probably not he would have asked you about it, wouldn't he? Or maybe he had been just as drunk as you and forget about it too? Anyway, you would know soon enough.

After about half an hour in the subway, you reached your apartment. Yoongi wasn't there yet like you had expected. It isn't like he would be able to wait in front of your apartment until you would show up. You sigh deeply when you enter your apartment and tiredly plop down on the couch. So much had happened since the last time you sat on this couch. You took out your phone and saw a message from Yoongi. He would be here in 20 min the message was sent 5 min ago, which meant you still had 15 min just enough time to take a quick shower. You were in desperate need of shower you were still wearing the same clothes you had gone to work in, slept in and you were starting to smell a little. After a quick shower, you put on some more comfortable clothes and made yourself a cup of tea. Just when you plopped down on the couch again the doorbell rang. Immediately you jumped up and pressed the button to open the door downstairs. You went to the front door and patiently waited for him in the doorway. You smiled when he came out of the elevator and walked towards the door.

''Hey,'' You said when he was close enough.

''Hey,'' He replied and walked into your apartment you closed the door behind him and hugged him tightly.

''Are you okay,'' You asked him again and you felt him nod.

''Yeah,'' He pulled back a little and gave you a serious expression, ''But you have to tell me, what did Eunmi tell you?''

''Let's first sit down okay?'' You dragged him into the apartment, ''Do you want tea?''

Yoongi shook his head and sat down on your couch you grabbed your cup of tea from the counter and sat down next to him. You felt nervous telling him about the producer not sure if he would be mad or not.

''Okay, so,'' You sighed, ''I think Namjoon was right and the photo they had of me to prove my alleged relationship wasn't with you but with someone else. And it could have been taken at the office party.''

''The office party?'' Yoongi asked raising his eyebrows.

''Yeah the office party,'' You let out a short breathy laugh mocking yourself, ''I don't even remember most of it just bits and pieces.''

''Me neither,'' Yoongi confessed, ''If you get drunk I get just as drunk, so I remember as little as you. The guys told me I hadn't missed anything, so what happened?''

''Well...'' You mumbled, ''Eunmi told me that at one point I fell over and this producer guy who had been giving us drinks the whole evening caught me and used that opportunity to feel me up. I don't remember it exactly I do remember Eunmi pulling me away afterward and dragging me out of the party.''

''Must have been Mr. Park.'' Yoongi sighed, ''He is notorious for flirting with the younger female employees when he drinks.''

''You aren't mad?'' You carefully asked.

''No,'' Yoongi looked at you and pulled you a bit closer to him, ''I just wish I had been there to protect you from him, I'm glad Eunmi saved you.''

''Me too,'' You answered, ''Anyway, I think something must have taken a picture of that and sent it to the CEO. I just don't know who. It must have been someone at the party.''

''That's about half of the employees,'' Yoongi got up from the couch and started pacing back and forth through your living room, ''But it does explain why the CEO and the head editor hadn't expected you to mention me.''

Suddenly, Yoongi's phone rings he jumps a little and grabs it from his pocket. He looks at the caller ID and furrows his eyebrows and looks at the screen for a moment as if he is isn't sure if he wants to pick up, but then he answers the phone.

''Namjoon?'' Yoongi asks.

You look at Yoongi in shock when you hear him say that name. Maybe he was calling with good news or at least more information. You study Yoongi's face carefully while he continues the conversation. He doesn't reply with words but occasionally makes some sounds to ensure Namjoon that he is listening carefully. You try to hear what Namjoon is saying but you can't make out his words you look at Yoongi curiously but his face doesn't show anything but his furrowed eyebrows and concentrated face. After a short conversation, he hangs up the phone and plops back next to you with a sigh.

''And?'' You ask curiously, ''What did he say?''

Yoongi doesn't answer the question and instead just looks at the ground. An obvious sign Namjoon didn't have any good news, you shuffle a little close and put your arms around him hugging him tightly. ''It'll be okay.''

You feel his arms wrap around you tightly his face pressed against yours.

''The Ceo won't budge,'' Yoongi whispered softly, ''He said that he didn't have any other choice than to terminate the contract and basically tried to get them out of the office as soon as they entered. They tried everything but he won't even listen.''

''It will be okay,'' You repeated and hug him a little bit more tightly.

''Eventually, maybe,'' Yoongi sighs, ''I just... They aren't going to let this go.''

''What do you mean?'' You pushed him back a little so you could look at his face.

''It's just...'' He hesitated for a moment, ''I don't want to give them the feeling they need to save me. Even though I hate BTS to break apart like this but I don't want them to ruing their own careers trying to save mine.''

''Yoongi,'' You took hold of his hand and looked him in the eyes, ''They care for you, it's not that they feel the need to save you, they want to save you.''

''Maybe,'' Yoongi replied, ''But they shouldn't try so hard, I don't want them risking their careers, especially not now that we are the top of our careers. We've gone further than any artist before us and I don't want them to ruin what they have.''

You didn't really know what to respond you understood what he meant but also understood how the rest of BTS must be feeling they have been together for years. They have gone through so much together, you've seen how close they are to each other. So instead you don't say anything but pull him close to you again.
