I was literally shaking when I walked over to Jungkook's and Yoongi's table.

"Yes?" I asked still standing. I had no intentions on staying.

" Sit down." Yoongi demanded his head slightly titled, his eyes staring dead into mine.

I was obedient. Not because I was made to, because I wanted to.........Yeah, keep telling yourself that. I thought.

"You want me to tell you a secret?" Jungkook asked leaning in too close for my comfort. He was so hot....but I hated him. For Jhope.

"I don't mind a secret." I said trying to give no hint I was trembling.

Yoongi slammed his hand down on the table which made me jump. They could tell I was scared. It amused Jungkook. "We want something in return." He said.

"Okay" I said "but first I have a quick question for you." I said

Yoongi's eyebrows shot up "we ask the que— ".

Jungkook touched his arm. "I want to hear it." He then nodded his head at me as if he were to say 'go on'.

"Why do you not like Jhope? He's so sweet."

Yoongi laughed "This again." He rolled his eyes

Jungkook looked at me "why we don't like him? It's simple. There isn't a reason. We just don't."

I could tell it wasn't true. I could see something else in Jungkook's eyes. Jealousy? Maybe, I'm not too sure.

"What do you want?" I avoided looking at Jungkook. He was so cute. And I had to avoid looking at Yoongi in fear I'd get my face smashed.

"We need you" Jungkook began. My face instantly got red. "I'll be going to the Olympics soon, and I heard you were the smartest girl in the class."

"Why don't you have Jhope do it? He's smarter than me ya know." I said with cut eyes. I wasn't trying to get Jhope in trouble. Maybe if they spent time with him, they would see how amazing he truly was.

"Umm no. As I was saying." Jungkook resumed " Yoongi here is going into the NBA." He pulled out a stack of a hundred dollar bills.

I gasped. He was going to continue but he looked at me and rolled his eyes "this is nothing. This isn't even a portion of what I pay my personal trainer." He said.

"Anyway. We aren't just looking for a tutor" he said . I'm pretty sure I stopped breathing in anticipation to his next word. Jungkook saw my eagerness to hear his next words. He was amused by my eagerness.

"We are looking for an assistant. I can't go to the Olympics without all As . And that's a stretch since I have a three in English. And neither can Yoongi. He's better off than I am, but we both need it. The NBA doesn't accept any half-brains." I was so sure Jungkook knew I would do just about anything for that stack of cash on the table. Sure, be his servant for a little while , and make that type of money sounds great!  I'm just not sure how I would tell Jhope. It looks really bad, me hanging out with his bullies. I don't care if they asked me to run to China, as long as it stayed appropriate, I would do it.

Yoongi looked at me "and don't get comfortable. Just do your job, you're irritating to look at." He said flatly.

Well then. I looked at Jungkook. "Only if you apologize to Jhope.....and leave him alone." I said knowing I was testing his limits.

He stared at me for a good five minutes .....or so it felt like it. But when Yoongi looked at me, it sent a shudder up my spine.

"Well, I guess we'll find someone else Yoongi." He said. Taking back the money.

I cursed myself under my breath. I can't believe I was doing this to Jhope.
I needed this job, I got fired from the Smoothie Shack, and with the money they offered me it would pay my rent for another month, and my groceries!

"I'll do it." I said. Praying it was not too late. I shouldn't have tried to negotiate with the boys anyway.

"Too late." Yoongi said getting up

"Hyung...." Jungkook said.

Yoongi kept on walking. Jungkook looked at me then followed him. I knew exactly what Yoongi wanted. He wanted me to beg him. Like he was the last resort I had. Which he was.

"Yoongi! Yoongi wait!" I said as he turned around.

"I said TOO LATE. Don't you listen? Incompetent mutt." He said.

Well I guess I deserved this. I had been a little rude to him at lunch. But he deserved it. How dare he treat Jhope the way they did.

"Please. I need this . I can't pay rent ! I lost my other job the other day and this would really help me keep my house and feed my brother. Just let me—"

Jungkook looked at me and then said " I'll call you when you start." He walked away without hearing my response. Wait. How would he call me anyway? Why does everyone have my number? Maybe he'll get it from Jimin. And what about the secret? I wanted to know!

I was so thankful. This is huge for me. I couldn't believe I would get a job from Yoongi and Jungkook. Yes! I through my fist up into the air.

People looked in my direction thinking I was weird. I heard one say ' Chilli's is where all the interesting stuff happens, and that smoothie shack around the corner' it almost made me laugh. I had been involved in a lot of drama lately.

My boss came and handed me my apron.
"You're working in the kitchen today."

"Yes ma'am" I said. Nothing could hide my excitement. I was literally beaming. I hadn't been this way in a long time. I wish Josh could see me now.

I was washing fresh buckets of dirty dishes. It always amazes me how much food people threw away. Did they not know Chilli's had to go boxes? Wasteful..... A bunch of times we would receive untouched food. I had no idea why. Maybe a hair or something.

I kept scrubbing at a steady pace when I thought of Rapmonster. I wondered how he coped with the gang. I wondered if he was okay. I started to worry a little bit. It was around the time the gang was going to meet him, at his home. I shuddered thinking of all the bad things that could happen to him. He could hold his own, I hoped, I prayed. I didn't pray often, but I sure did for Rapmonster. And for Jhope, I wanted him to be able to smile genuinely. And for Jin, to do well in acting. Even V, to teach him a lesson. I was also thankful to Yoongi and Jungkook, for giving me hope. And for Jimin, for comforting me. With these seven boys I haven't been even the slightest bit worried about Josh. It even amused me seeing him struggle.

I hummed my favorite song 'Save me' by the Bangtan Boys as I kept scrubbing. Jennie was mad at me. And I'd make it up to her. I took off my rubber gloves and texted her to meet me at my house tonight. Then I saw five new text from Jimin. I was going to press on them, but a call interrupted it. I didn't recognize the caller ID but I picked up the phone any way, hoping it wouldn't be a scammer.

"Hello?" I asked .

"Hello this is Dr. Barnes. Are you April?"

"Yes sir, is there something wrong?" I asked worried.

"Unfortunately yes Miss. You are the only person on this man's contact list. Do you know a young man named Rap Monster?"

My heart stopped. I almost stopped breathing all together. My hands were shaking. I swallowed, my throat suddenly very dry. "I'll be right there."
