Everyone got pretty tired after the shoot.
Namjoon was already sulking as his girlfriend wasn't paying attention to him but the maknaes.
On the other hand, the maknaes were way too happy to have you back.
So happy that they didn't bother to check upon Namjoon who looked like he would cry out any moment.
The only person who was having fun were the three hyungs.
Especially Min Yoongi.
He was having the best time for of his life.
And just when Namjoon was about to burst out, Woohyun walked in and greeted everyone.
"Ms Sampson, there's a call from your home."

Y/N took her cellphone and talked for a few minutes. "Mr Shin! Will you please tell Hyungsik to visit the Kims tomorrow evening with his kids?"
Namjoon's eyes widened at her words.
'He's kids!' he wondered.

"Will sure do. Anything else?" Woohyun asked with a smile.
"No, thank you." She replied and dismissed him.

She stood up and turned to Hoseok glaring at him. The poor boy got startled by her sudden change of mood.
"W-why a-are you g-glaring at m-me?" He stuttered when she angrily walked dangerously close to him.
"You dare to forget inviting me to your birthday?" She bumped her head into his.
"I-I What?" He got puzzled as the realisation hit him. Others also laughed at his innocence.

Yoongi jumped on his back and Hoseok caught him.
"Hyung, she pranked you!" Jimin squealed and answered him. He looked up at the others who were laughing their asses out.

They all kept on playing for sometime when Hyungsik barged into the room followed by Sungyoel who looked like he's been running.
"What is it?"Y/N asked loud silencing everyone in the room.
Hyungsik's face tensed as if someone has pointed a gun on his head.
He took a deep breath and spoke
"Our designs for the NY Fashion Week has been stolen. 'Prime Prestige' has posted the same designs we have on their official website."

Y/N's face stiffened at the moment.
"Where is the legal team?" She greeted her teeth.
"They are out of the States with Madam Sampson for some work ." Sungyoel spoke in a low voice scared of getting yelled.

She looked at the clock. It's six in the evening. She thought of something and looked at the everyone in the room.
"Can you guys stay a little longer?" She stared at Namjoon and asked. The seven boys nodded.
"Cool!" She exclaimed and looked at Sungyoel.
"Get the design dept. in the conference room in five." Sungyoel nodded and left the room.
She turned to Taehyung and said
"Tae! Will you ask your boyfriend to come here?" The younger's chest swelled up in happiness. He nodded excitingly. She added "Tell him to bring Samuel along with him."

Y/N and Hyungsik walked in the conference room followed by their assistants. Hyungsik's face was expressionless as he kept eyeing everyone present in the room carefully. He took his seat but accidentally slipped off the chair and something caught his eyes.
He stood up and smiled at everyone and walked towards the desk where the projector and the laptop were installed. Everyone stared at him and Namjoon's eyes caught a woman trying to sneak out of the room. He quickly rushed to the door and dragged the woman back.

In the meantime, Hyungsik pulled out a small handicam connected to a phone.
He snorted at the woman whom Namjoon caught.
"Aren't you the same woman who reported about our designs getting stolen?"

"Who's she?" Y/N questioned.

"Rhea's sister. The woman you fired on your first day Ms Sampson."
Hyungsik raised his hand holding a mini cam and said "It has Rhea's initials. I've seen this before."

Y/N's face turned red as she glared at the woman beside Namjoon.
"Joon, leave her." Namjoon let go of the woman.
"Telling lies won't get you anywhere.
So speak." She spoke with a demanding tone.

The woman scoffed and said "You think I'm scared of you little girl."
The woman arrogantly confessed everything. Hyungsik immediately got her arrested.

Y/N asked Sungyoel to order dinner for everyone present in the room including the maintenance staffs.
Raven and Samuel were brought in the room.
Y/N spoke silencing everyone in the room.
"I've a little proposal.
Except for the seven boys, I want Hyungsik, Woohyun, Sungyoel, Raven and Samuel to be the models."

Everyone was stunned by her announcement. They all started murmuring, annoying the young director.
"Quite!" She said out loud and banged her hands on the table.
Everyone turned silent.
"I'm not asking but telling you." She looked at Raven and Samuel who were confused about everything.
"Mr Kim and Mr Williams, would you mind being our models for the NY Fashion Week?"

The two easily agreed. The next hour went discussing the changes and modifications.
Everyone walked out of room tired. Raven stayed back with Namjoon who was standing by the door staring at his girlfriend like a lovesick.
Raven wanted to talk but Y/N didn't let him.
"I know why you agreed. But it changes nothing between the two of us. Good Night."
She said and walked away with Namjoon who gave Raven a small apologetic smile.

Next Day [18 Feb]
Kims Villa

The yard was beautifully decorated for the celebration.
For what?

Jung Hoseok's Birthday! 💜

Everyone was happily eating and drinking around.
Jungkook was the most excited for his hyung. The Jungs couldn't attend the party because of some work.
Mrs Kim tried to make sure that the boys were not feeling low.
Mostly Hoseok.

That man was definitely a good actor at masking his sadness, thanks to Taehyung.
The Sampsons were as usual late. The youngers were definitely not bothered to acknowledge their presence.
Y/N noticed Laura greeting Hoseok and scoffed.
"She's never tired of pretending." She whispered to Seokjin who nodded his head. The older was a little drunk.
Y/N wanted to comment but she felt something hugging her legs. She looked down and saw 'Seojoon and Ryujin' Hyungsik's eight years old twins.

"Hi there babies!" Y/N exclaimed seeing the twins. Most of the elders had their attention shifted on her and the kids. Especially Laura, who was now talking to Hyungsik.

"Where is daddy?" Y/N asked the two softly squeezing their cheeks.

"That ahjumma keeps stealing our daddy!" Ryujin said pouting and pointing her hands towards Laura and Hyungsik.
The boys laughed out loud as the little girl exclaimed.
Hyungsik immediately walked out to her and picked her up. "Appa is sorry!"
Mr Sampson's face turned white in shock. "You've k-kids? " He stammered on his words.
"Don't tell me you were trying to match Laura with Hyunie, father? "
Y/N asked him with an amused smile.

Laura's face turned red and she barked back "Talk about yourself. You look very close to Mr Park?"

"I'm his superior, woman. I know each single detail of my employees.
Even my boyfriend knows that!"
Y/N smirked back at her step-sibling.

Mrs Kim's ears perked up. "You're dating love?"

"Aunt Kim I-I-I! J-Joon's d-didn't t-tell you y-yet?" She stuttered in panic and threw everything onto her boyfriend who was already sweating in winter.

Mrs Kim shook her head and shot his son an icy glare.
"I-I...... J-joon and I-I!"
Taehyung jumped on Namjoon's back and said "Namjoonie hyung is dating my noona!"

The light in Laura's eyes faded away.
She hopefully looked at her father who avoided her stares.
She felt broken. Her first crush turned out to be her stepsister's boyfriend.
And the man she fancied turned out to be a father of two.

On the other hand, Mr Kim and his wife were congratulating his son and Y/N. The boys were more than thrilled to celebrate the night.
Namjoon was happy. He found himself smiling at his lover who was busy dancing with his brothers and the two kids.
He joined them.

After the dinner, most of the guests left. Except for the seven brothers, Y/N and Raven.
They decided to drink the night away.
They all kept on drinking and playing random games. The boys were pretty much wasted.
Y/N decided to take a stroll in the yard.
She was alone and so lost in her thoughts that she didn't notice another man's presence beside her.
She felt a shawl over her shoulder. She looked around and found Hoseok smiling at her. She smiled back.

"I thought you'd would have already passed out. You among us has the lowest tolerance for alcohol." She giggled and pulled him close sharing the shawl.
Hoseok only smiled in return.

"Something wrong?" She asked again feeling the other tensed up.

Hoseok bit his lower lip and asked
"If I ask you for something on my birthday, will you fulfill my wish?"
He looked straight into her eyes with a scared yet hopeful gaze.

"You mean for your birthday?"
He nodded his head timidly.

"Um... sure! Go ahead." She replied with a smile.

Hoseok gulped hard and said
"Be my date and dance the night away."
Y/N looked at him with a puzzled expression and said "Are you sure?
It's almost midnig..........."
She couldn't finish her words as Hoseok took out his phone and turned on a slow and romantic music.
Y/N's eyes widened when he suddenly pulled her close by her waist and placed her hands on his shoulders. The two kept on moving slowly along with the music.
She felt a different demeanor from the male. She wasn't used to see the dominant Hoseok. In her eyes, Hoseok was the 'happy go lucky' guy.

On the other hand, Hoseok was happy.
Because he knew, after tonight she will definitely hate him. He twirled her pulling close on her back and back-hugged her and spoke in a low voice. "Even though my love for you is wrong, just let me hold you for a moment.
And if you can, then forgive me for.
Cause I am to loose my brothers.
And to you I promise, I'm trying to let go."

Hoseok felt her body tense and prepared himself to get slapped.
But the slap never came.
He felt her freeing herself from his embrace. He didn't open his eyes, ashamed of looking at her.
Hoseok felt a pair of hands cupping his face. He opened his already teary eyes and found the woman smiling at him.
He felt a warm tug in his chest.
"Hoseok, it's never a sin to love someone." She spoke gently "I am proud you decided to express your feelings instead of bottling it up.
And I can't apologize for not returning your feelings because then I'll be hurting Joon.
But still, find it in your heart to let go of the emotions I unknowingly stirred inside of you."

Y/N hugged him for a moment and pulled away and placed her lips on her forehead. The male sucked in a deep breath of relief and satisfaction.
"Good night Hoseok." She mumbled covering him with the same shawl he gave her earlier and walked away.

Hoseok kept staring at her fading figure and stared at the night sky with a small smile tugging on his lips and whispered "She's a good one, mom."

Y/N entered her room only to find out his man sprawled out on the bed.
Her lips displayed a warm smile as she walked to the washroom and changed into night dress.
Slipping into the blanket, she snuggled into Namjoon and slept right away.
Unaware of the tiny smile dancing on Namjoon's lips.

A smile of being proud.
