I woke up the next morning, slightly dizzy, Vague memories playing in my mind from last night which I still can't get over.
With my mind still covered with hazy thoughts, I quickly showered and got down to make some breakfast.
I woke everyone earlier and told them to join me at the breakfast table
"Let's eat!" I said and everyone sat around the table when instantaneously everyone's phones starting buzzing like the thunder before a storm
I straight away checked my phone which was lying right beside my food plate on the table.
And, boy was I shocked.
"Oh my god! guys you need to see this".
Everyone took out their phones and glared at Jungkook and me.
"Are you out of your mind Jungkook? Did you not know that walking on the beach without your cover isn't safe?" Jin began scolding Jungkook like a mother being angry at her 5-year old for drawing on the walls
"AND YOU!" Namjoon turned and pointed at me.
"Me?" I was perplexed and turned a finger towards myself and asked.
"Yes, you! Seriously? eating dinner wasn't enough? you had to walk on the beach and hug and-"
I was almost about to cry. I hadn't ever seen Namjoon in a rage, it felt almost like he was going to punch me through the wall.
"Namjoon calm down! It was me who took the initiative to hug her, alright? Don't yell at her" Jungkook stood up with annoyance and his chair fell back when he stood against the table. Namjoon rolled his eyes at Jungkook and the atmosphere seemed tense.
"Guys that's enough!" Hobi barged in, seeing me on the verge of tears.
"It's not their fault, we need to find a solution to this first." Jimin contributed to Hobi, and I guess he was right we need to cover up the tea that we spilled.
Some fans clicked our pictures when Jungkook and I were walking on the beach holding hands and when we hugged. Unfortunately, when Jungkook kissed me on the head that moment was caught by the camera too.
Suddenly a thought came to my mind, I checked the pictures again and I was right. It was too dark for our faces to be visible.
"Wait! Look" everyone looked at me with eyes of hope, hoping I would say something that helps out the messed up scenario.
"Our faces aren't clear! we can just say that it's a fake picture? " I mean such rumors keep following every day or so.
"Yeah, I guess that's the only thing to do right now. I'll ask our managers to handle this." Namjoon sighed.
"I'm sorry. I should just do my job, I don't think I should get this involved with you all. I'll jus-"
Taehyung suddenly hugged me.
"Some mistakes get made. That's alright, that's okay" I giggled slightly at his words as he tried to lighten the mood in the room.
"And who said you shouldn't get involved? We aren't trying to get to know you without a motive you know?" he smiled cheekily as he flicked my forehead.
"I'm sorry, I just don't know how to react under stress" Namjoon rubbed the back of his head while I smiled sheepishly.
All this felt overwhelming, didn't feel like I deserve all this.
"Thank you, guys. I really appreciate it but I don't think we can go out anymore." After all this, there's no point in throwing ourselves in the trap of more rumors and scandals.
"It's okay. We'll find some other way to get closer" Yoongi said and I simply smiled at his plain comment.
"And anyway we live under the same roof, you can't run away from us." Taehyung threw me a flying kiss before leaving the room. I kind of like it when he's being cheesy.
Soon enough everyone dispersed for practicing, their break is almost over. It's gonna be a tough time once their normal life kick starts again. They'll be so busy and maybe I'll be too.
