Chapter 26: Caught
We walked around the fair holding hands, enjoying the shows, and eating more delicious fair food. I felt like this was our first real date, and was having a blast.
Later, we finally caught up with Jungkook and Taehyung, who had gone on all the thrilling rides. They were having fun too, and after hours of being there, we were all exhausted, and ready to go home. Fortunately, no one recognized the BTS members and we had an easy time going around the fair with no mobs of fans.
"Guys, go on home, I'm going to drive Cora to her house." Jin said to Taehyung and Jungkook.
"Ok hyung, bye Cora!" the two handsome men scurried off as we separated.
I waved back as Jin and I walked together, hand in hand to his Land Rover. I loved how he constantly wanted to be close, and hold hands or cuddle. After getting in, and driving to my apartment, Jin received a phone call.
"Hello...
Yes what?
They have what pictures?" Jin looked alarmed as he ran his fingers through his hair.
"I'll call you back. Yes, I'm busy!" He almost shouted and quickly hung up.
He gulped and took a deep breath as he stared straight ahead.
I started freaking out. I realized what could have just happened.
"She did it Cora, our pictures are all over the media." Jin looked dazedly out his window.
I knew it!
"Oh my goodness, Jin what are we gonna do?" I asked, wringing my fingers.
"Let's get you home first, and then we'll think this through." Jin patted the top of my leg to comfort me.
Jin's phone keeps beeping and ringing, and he angrily turned it off as we pulled into my apartment complex. What greeted us caught me off guard. There was a crowd of people with cameras, bombarding us, they flashed their camera lights at us as we pulled up. Angry fans had pictures of us with a big X on my face, from that night we had our first kiss. They spotted me and looked like they wanted to kill me. I tried to sink lower into my seat, hoping no one would do anything to me.
"Jin I can't go through that crowd!" I said panicking.
"This is ridiculous! I can't believe she leaked your address!" Jin looked around with rage in his eyes.
"What am I going to do?" I said worried about getting attacked going to my home.
"Let me think... can you stay at Heathers?"
"Uh yes I should be able to, let me call her first."
I called her number, but the line went straight to voicemail.
"She's not answering!"
"What? Oh right! She's at that important meeting I left early for. They'll be there for hours!"
"What do I do now?"
At this point the paparazzi and outraged fans had started knocking on Jin's car, trying to get us to talk to them with their microphones pushed against the closed windows.
"Let's just get out of here." Jin drove out after everyone moved realizing we weren't getting out or talking to them. Jin handed me his medical mask and told me to cover my face, and hide from the cameras. I did as he told me, but I knew they had already seen me and had taken several pictures of me already.
"Cora I think the only place you'll be safe at, is my house. It's guarded and protected, not just anyone can get in." Jin said gritting his teeth as he seemed in deep thought.
I didn't have much choice, my family lived far away from the city, and Heather was the only person I knew in the city.
"Ok let's go to your house." I agreed.
I knew I would be safer there than anywhere else right now.
We drove to Jin's house where there was another crowd that had gathered in front of the security gates. Fortunately, the security guards were being diligent, and didn't let any of the crazy fans or paparazzi get through. When we passed through, the people had started bombarding the Range Rover once again, but when we didn't stop, they finally moved so we could get through the gates.
My heart was pounding as we finally arrived at Jin's apartment. I had never realized being stalked by fans and paparazzi, would be this terrifying. Once we passed the gates, I could finally breathe.
"Keep the mask on." Jin ordered as we got out of his car.
After entering his apartment, he quickly set the alarm on the door, locking it. I heard the TV on with the news, the newscaster said what sounded like my name. I rushed to the TV to see what was being said. Taehyung and Jungkook had been watching the TV and were sitting there in shock with their mouths open.
"The intern has been caught dating the famous singer, who's a member of the popular kpop group BTS, the photos clearly show the two in his car kissing..." The female newscaster said as the pictures of us were in high definition behind her.
"Oh no! Why is this even on the news!" I covered my face in embarrassment.
All I could think about was my parents seeing this! Thank goodness they hadn't called me yet wanting an explanation. I was dreading that phone call.
Jin angrily turned off the TV, while Taehyung and Jungkook sat there, wide eyed still in shock.
"Hyung, how did this happen?" Jungkook said, surprised at Jin.
"It doesn't matter, I don't want the TV on." Jin answered as he paced the room.
Taehyung looked like he was getting angrier and angrier and finally got up, "Hyung how could you do something so stupid! Now people are gonna go after Cora!"
"You think I don't know that!" Jin quipped, annoyed.
"You need to fix this Hyung!" Taehyung shouted.
"I am!" Jin said frustrated. "Look I need time to think, I'm gonna call our manager and figure out what to do."
"You better! Why did you have to kiss her out in the open like that!" Taehyung said disgusted with Jin.
I stood there awkwardly, not sure what to do or say as they argued. Jungkook was also unsure of what to do and just awkwardly glanced at Taehyung.
Jin pulled me by the wrist towards one of the bedrooms. I hadn't been in any of the men's rooms yet, and felt like I was intruding as we went into Jin's bedroom alone.
"Here you can stay in my room, for now." Jin offered, gesturing towards the bed.
"No! Where are you gonna sleep?" I glanced at the bed wide eyed.
Jin paused and the distraught look he once had suddenly faded. Instead it was a look of mischief that came over his face.
"With you of course." Jin winked.
