I may be blind for your love,

But darling I'm damn good at eye contact.

29th April 2022

"So what, are your thoughts?" The man said, pushing his glasses further to the brim of his nose. "I don't want explanations, rather, I'd like to know your thoughts. Ideas." he said, making you shift uncomfortably in your seat. It did not itch you that you were sitting in the Bighit Building, for you'd experienced that a lot of times before.

It did not itch you that you were in the CEO's office, his small eyes staring at you, not too scary. It did not itch you that you were indeed, out on every newspaper out there. It did itch you that you were on every search engine on the internet right now. However, the only thing that did itch you the most, was the fact that the man next to you, more precisely, Jeon Jungkook, was not even muttering a single thing. It was almost as if he'd left you to walk on the rocks of fire alone.

"Mr. Bang" you cleared your throat, smiling slightly. "I know you must be heavily disappointed-" "Miss L/N" he interjected, smiling back. "You have not committed a crime. Do not say sorry. Not once" he shook his head and you nodded, touched by his words. "I was literally happy when I got to know about your relationship. I was glad, because I know that these boys need someone. I was happy even when I got to know about Tyla and Tae. All my boys need some normalcy in their lives. Specially our maknae here. He's lived the most regulated life out of all of them."

"I'm not the youngest anymore." he finally spoke, pressing his lips together. You snickered softly at his sudden comment. "What I was saying was..." the old man continued, completely disregarding and ignoring Jungkook's small sentence. "... The pre-festa concert. It's very near." He raised his eyebrows, massaging his temples. "And what complicates it, is the press conference held for Jungkook's new album. Tomorrow."

Jungkook secretly rolled his eyes, throwing his head back. "I want to tell you, that however all this goes, I'll do what you want. I can deny all the stupid allegations put up on the two of you, along with the fact that you two are together." He sighed. "But I will be more than glad to announce your relationship. But I, am nobody to decide what you want. So I'll do whatever you will tell me to." He smiled at you, massaging his fingers.

Jungkook tched. An act of annoyance, showing how bored he was, and showing how much he wanted to leave this place and this conversation. "What do you want me to do for now, PD nim?" You asked in a small voice, clearly nervous. "I am sad that you kids have to face such a situation just for being normal human beings. Specially in this industry, Y/N-ssi. You must have been feeling guilty for falling in love with a kpop star." He chuckled and Jungkook scoffed, cocking an eyebrow at no one in particular.

"I'm not, PD nim" you replied almost immediately, making his eyebrows raise. "I knew what I was getting into when we decided to be in a relationship. I am... happy. We just didn't plan this part out. We were complacent, because Tae oppa and Tar- Tyla, never had to..." He nodded, sighing.

"I know, dear. But for now, I'd like you to keep it low. Don't talk to anyone about it. Skip office for a few days. I know it's been a week but I want to take all the precautions I can. Please do not go at public places alone. At this rate, I'd rather allow Jungkook to go with you rather than you going by yourself. At least you'd have someone as a shield. ARMYs will never hurt him. But sasaengs, you know, they're ready to even shoot people." He said, finally heaving a breath. "I want you to be careful, little one" he smiled and you returned it, nodding.

"So as for this..." He threw the newspapers on the table, twirling a bit on his rotating chair. "There are people watching you this very moment. As if they're on a spy mission. They'll be ready to haunt you in their dreams, if they can" he completed, nodding. "Keep it low, and... Take care, kids" he smiled, gesturing you that he was done. "I'll be seeing you then, sir" you smiled, leaving the door and waiting outside.

"This mess" The most quiet man in the room then spoke, once you weren't near him. "I want to get out of it" he stated and Bang PD narrowed his eyes. "Are you literally throwing a fit? You should've thought this when you got yourself into this mess. Who told you to take her out for a dinner?" The father like figure to the boy asked him instead. "It was her birthday. I wanted to do something for her, I didn't know these little rats were spying us all the way from her house. How did these idiots even catch me going there?" he nibbled on his lower lip. "They ain't got any other work to do except following me or what? But I don't care about that right now. Just get me out of this, please." He sounded desperate.

"You?" The boss cocked an eyebrow. "It's not just you, that sweet woman is tangled in this too. And let me remind you, all of this, wouldn't be if you weren't the one she was dating. Don't make it sound like she's the culprit, Jungkook" he scolded and Jungkook rolled his eyes, pressing his lips together. "Right. Take us out of this. Neither of us want to deal with this." He declared and Bang Si Hyuk nodded softly.

"I know you're angry at them, the paparazzi. But you cannot, I repeat, cannot vent it out on anyone. Keep calm, Jungkook. Decide things, don't run away and try to get rid of them." He firmly told the younger, smiling after a moment and Jungkook nodded, standing up and hugging the man on the big seat as usual, before leaving the office.

A few minutes later

You entered the practice room, holding your bag gifted to you by Taehyung tighter ad you took soft steps towards the three well known men. "Y/N!" Jin exclaimed upon seeing you, followed by Hobi waving brightly to you. Namjoon on the other hand grinned at you which you returned to the three, waving back. "Ohooo~" you heard another voice sing song, followed by a huge hug.

"I missed you~" Jimin murmered before he felt a pinch on his arm. "Easy" the man who had been formerly walking behind you, now stood behind you and Jimin. "She became my friend before she became your girlfriend" Jimin narrowed his eyes and you glanced at Jungkook with a disappointed expression before hugging Jimin back. "You should've come home!" You said, completely disregarding the younger guy.

"How are you, Y/N" Jin asked in a small voice, visibly hesitant. You on the other hand, smiled. "I'm fine, oppa" to told him, turning your head to Jungkook before gritting your teeth. "Totally fine"

FLASHACK
After getting out of PD nim's office, a few minutes ago

While walking through the corridor, there were no words being exchanged until you saw an empty vocal practice room. You grabbed Jungkook's hand before pulling him inside, looking for cameras but found none in the room. You locked the door before turning to your boyfriend with a nervous smile. "I... missed you" you said softly and he nodded. You then moved closer to him and then hugged him tightly, but were surprised to not receive it back. "What's wrong, baby?"

He snickered. "What's wrong?" He mocked. "Nothing" he replied with a sarcastic tone. "Jungkook you're behaving really weird" You replied, now a frown on your face. "What did I do?" He asked, raising his eyebrow. "Jungkook why...?" You asked and he tched, again. "You're been doing this ever since I got into the office. We haven't seen each other for a whole week. Didn't you... miss me?" You asked and he shook his head.

"Of course I did! I-" he stopped, resting his hands on either sides of his waist. "Y/N-ah, I did miss you." He told you smoothly bringing his arm around your waist this time. You, however, kept your frown intact. "I missed you" he said, not exactly stating. "But I... I was thinking if..." He paused again, gulping harshly. "I was wondering if it would be better if we kinda... Y-you know" he wanted you to say something but when he didn't, he finally let it out.

"If we stayed distant" he breathed out, his grip completely loosened up. "If we literally tried distancing ourselves from each other. For the best." He spoke loud and clear this time, but your face was stern and straight. The frown slowly disappeared, a mask taking over your face. "Okay" you muttered, nodding. Your hand went to your back to hold his, removing yourself from his hold before biting your lip.

"Okay" you said again, breathing out after getting out the room and walking straight with a blank expression, not even blinking once.
