You wake up the next morning with some mascara smeared on your under eyes and your eyes are a little swollen from crying.

You lost the ability to surprise your customers with the new lip balm.

You lost Jimin, your best friend.

You also lost Seokjin, the one man you fully trusted, all in the same day.

Sighing, you get out of bed and make your way towards the bathroom. Upon looking at yourself in the mirror, you wash your hands before placing your hands on your skin. When you do this, you notice how your skin is a little dehydrated and your nose is a little red from blowing your nose last night.

You immediately wash your face and put on your serums, moisturizer, and sunscreen to get ready for the day.

Once your skin is ready for makeup, you immediately reach for your concealer and cover up all of the spots on your face that need to be corrected. You sigh before heading downstairs and make your way towards the kitchen.

Upon entering the double kitchen doors, you see Seokjin standing at the stove as he cooks breakfast.

He turns around to look at you and merely gives you a nod before putting the food on the pan onto a plate. He hands it to you before walking towards the sink to wash his hands.

You open your mouth to say something before quickly closing it. You shake your head before choosing to not talk, knowing that he's most likely too angry to even have a conversation with you.

You sit down at the table and eat while Seokjin starts to wash dishes.

"I'm going to be at my parents' house today." Seokjin suddenly says. You look up at him and nod your head. This took you by surprise and causes your heart to speed up.

He's talking to you.

That's a good sign, right?

"Okay," you state before taking a bite of the food on your plate. "I'm going to be at the office today to get this whole situation under control." You state.

"Sounds good." He merely says before leaving the kitchen. "I'll be back tonight for dinner. Get yourself some lunch because I won't be here to make you any." You nod your head, feeling your stomach drop.

"Oh, okay." You state. "Listen, Jin, I'm really sorry that I grouped you with those guys. I-"

"You already apologized to me." he interrupts. "I told you, we're on a break until you fix your issues with men. I don't hate you or anything so stop acting like I'm being mean. You need to get over this whole 'men are trash' attitude." He states.

You merely nod your head before putting more food in your mouth as you eat.

"Anyway, I'm heading out now." He states before stepping towards the double kitchen doors. "Also, be sure to talk to Jimin, alright? You really hurt him." He says before leaving the room.

You sigh before biting onto your lower lip.

He's right.

<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>

You're now at the company, sighing as you discuss with Baekhyun everything that happened. You've already contacted your lawyer about this as well.

"So, you said we have other pictures we can use?" You nod your head.

"I've already called my lawyer too and he's already trying to figure out how to go about suing the person who leaked all of this stuff, aka Min Yoongi." You state through gritted teeth.

"You really think it's Yoongi?" your lawyer questions. You nod. "Do you have any proof?" You shake your head.

"No, but I saw the way he was looking at the pictures."

Your lawyer shrugs before reaching for his phone.

"Well, the place where the photoshoot was held has cameras. We can get video footage of him doing it." Your lawyer says. You nod your head and Baekhyun merely watches as your lawyer gets on the phone with the security in charge of the cameras at the photoshoot place.

You bite onto your lower lip before reaching your hand down to grab your phone.

You stare down at it for a few seconds before dialing Jimin's number.

It goes straight to voicemail.

"Hi, I know we're not on speaking terms right now because of what I said, but Jimin, I'm so sorry." You state before hanging up.

You wait for your lawyer to get off of the phone.

"Okay, thank you." He says before gesturing to the computer on your desk. "They'll be emailing it in a few minutes." You nod your head before quickly signing onto your email to look for the footage.

After a few minutes, you get a new email and you quickly click on it to open the video.

The footage starts playing and your lawyer and Baekhyun quickly move to stand next to you to examine the footage as well.

"Fast forward it." Baekhyun says. "To the moment you're talking about." You do.

While looking at the footage, you watch the expression on Yoongi's face.

It's different than you remember.

You remember him looking more suspicious but while re-watching it now? He looks more aloof and doesn't seem to be paying attention to the pictures. It looks as though he had been following Jimin's lead and just agreed to make Jimin happy.

"Are you sure this is footage that would show that it's him who did it?"

"I..." you start before sighing. "I thought it was..."

"Let's keep looking." You nod your head and watch as it comes to the part where Jimin and Yoongi leave. Now, you see Eric coming up, staring at the pictures a little too closely.

Oh shit.

They were right.

You're an idiot. A moron. An imbecile.

You pause the footage and your lawyer and Baekhyun look at you.

"I think it might be Eric." You state.

"Him looking at the pictures isn't enough evidence. You need to fast forward a little bit." You nod your head and fast forward the footage a little further.

Upon fast forwarding the video, you see Eric coming back to the monitor after everyone had left. He took pictures of the photoshoot on his phone before walking out of the room.

You close your eyes tightly, not wanting to believe how idiotic you were yesterday.

"Oh God..." you mumble to yourself.

"Well, we caught the guy." Your lawyer states before he nods his head. "Now, time to serve him with a lawsuit." You nod your head.

You immediately get out of your chair to allow your lawyer and Baekhyun to talk about what to do next.

"Can you excuse me for a second? I have something I need to handle." You state. The two nod.

"If we need you, we'll call." He states. You nod your head before stepping out of the room, politely bowing as you do so before quickly pulling out your phone.

This time, the phone rings.

However, Jimin still doesn't answer.

You sigh and reach your hand up to comb your fingertips through your hair.

"Jimin, I'm an asshole and shouldn't have accused Yoongi. I know you quit and are mad at me but please. Please talk to me." You state before closing your eyes tightly. "Even if it's to tell me I'm a bitch and cuss me out, I just want to be on speaking terms. Please."

You know it's only been a day since your outburst, but you can't stand anyone being mad at you for too long. It makes you anxious.

You know Jimin has the right to ignore your calls and avoid you but you just want to make things right.

So, you decide to call the one person who most likely isn't mad at you.

You bite onto your lower lip before unblocking the number on your phone.

You dial it and hold the phone back to your ear, nervously picking at the hangnail on one of your fingers.

"Hello?" the deep voice echoes through the phone.

"Yoongi, it's Y/N." you state. "Before you hang up, I just want to apologize to you. In person if you're okay with that."

The other line goes quiet for a few seconds, with some muffling on the other end. You hear a softer, airier voice on the other line but can't make out what they're saying.

You already know it's Jimin.

And you know he's most likely telling Yoongi not to talk to you.

"Um," Yoongi starts before clearing his throat. "Well, I'm not the one opposed to that." He states, insinuating that Jimin, indeed, was the other voice most likely scolding him for even wanting to give you the time of day.

"Oh..." you say.

"But because I understand why you did what you did and because I fucked up a few months ago too, I'll give you a second chance the way you did with me." A sigh of relief escapes your lips as you nod your head.

"Thank you," you breathe out. "Thank you so much, Yoongi."

"Where did you want to meet?" He asks. You scratch the back of your neck and shrug your shoulders.

"Um, how about the diner at 7th street? Does 1 work for you?" you ask.

"Alright, sounds good."

"I'll treat you to lunch." You state before pausing. "Can you bring Jimin too, please? I know he doesn't want anything to do with me but please?"

"I'll try." He states. You nod your head before letting out a sigh of relief.

"Okay, thank you, Yoongi. I'll see you at 1."

"Alright, bye." He hangs up. You hang up as well before you place your phone into your pocket.

Hopefully when you go to lunch with Yoongi, he's able to get Jimin to join. If he does, you'll be able to make up with Jimin and Yoongi simultaneously.

Once that's done, you can focus on getting Seokjin to forgive you.

**********
I hope all of you are doing well!

Make sure to take care of yourselves and to stay safe.

Borahae!

Kim 💜
