DAMI'S POV

The next day, 11:00 P.M.

Chimmy

Me:
Hey Jimin?

Chimmy:
Who died?

Me:
??

Chimmy:
You never text that
seriously. I just got
the vibes.

Me:

Chimmy:
I am thinking of
using DAWN memes
too

Me:
Restrictions : 0%

Well forget this. I was
thinking of Mi Unnie and
Jin oppa.

Chimmy:
NO

Me:
I didn't even said anything!!

Chimmy:
We are not setting them
up. Let her recover Dami.

She's going through a lot.
Feeling raped is not a joke.

Me:
But she wasn't!

Chimmy:
But she felt like it! That's what's
important. This way, we can
put her mental health at stake.

Me:
And what about Jin Oppa?

If someone accused to be
a rapist when you're not?

Think of the wars you must
be having with your own
conscience.

Chimmy:
Ik it's tough but still Dami.

Me:
Think what if it was me
who accused you of raping
me.

Chimmy:
What are you even speaking
about?

Do you even see what you're
typing, Dami? This is not a joke!

Me:
Exactly. Jin Oppa loves Mi Noona.
He told me before I confessed
to you.

Aera Unnie says that Mi Unnie
loved him too.

Chimmy:
She loved the fake him
he created. It was his fault.

Please. Don't bother Mi Noona.
She's already stressed.

Me:
And she'll remain stressed
till she doesn't think of it calmly.

Chimmy:
No. End of discussion.

Me:

Chimmy:
😑😑

Fire spitter 🔥

Me:
Suga Oppa. Sorry to
disturb you. Are you
free?

Fire spitter 🔥:
Yes? Anything you want?

Me:
Is Jin Oppa okay?

Fire spitter 🔥:
Don't really know. I haven't
seen him that dull ever.

Me:
Oppa... You think, we can
do something?

Fire spitter 🔥:
I was thinking the same
thing but Aera says that
we should stay out.

Me:
Oh that's what Jimin
says. Their coward
asses can never.

Once the duet is cancelled.
Everything is off. They would
have no reason to talk to
one another.

Fire spitter 🔥:
Are you sure, they love each
other?

Me:
Did you even see the
lyrics of their duet? Love
was pouring out of it.

Fire spitter 🔥:
That's kinda true.

No one would heal till the
misunderstandings are clear.

Me:
Exactly.

Fire spitter 🔥:
In fact. Mi Noona may have
forgiven Hyung for that wrong
number thing but I don't
think she has forgotten that.

She still held onto that.

Me:
Jin oppa wasn't quite right
in that context but something
tells me he is honest.

Even when we are choreographing
their dance moves. I can see the
spark in their eyes.

Fire spitter 🔥:
You've got the eyes of the
detective 😂😂

Me:
I am the best 😎

Fire spitter 🔥:
Are you forgetting who's the
best?

Me:
It's obviously...
YOONGI BOONGI

Fire spitter 🔥:
Good! 😎😎

First of all, we have to stop
her from cancelling the duet.

Me:
But how.

Fire spitter 🔥:
Just trust me 😉

AUTHOR'S POV

"I think, we would have to give another music album," Yoongi stated and spun on his producing room's chair while Dami stood leaning to the wall.

"You mean there's no way to compensate the damage caused?" She asked, concerned.

Yoongi shook his head. "There'll be a lot many setbacks. The duet is already awaited and fans have their hopes high. We cannot let them down."

"Yes and our respective reputations would be at stake too," she added. "I don't know what impact it would be having on our solo careers."

"We'll lose the trust-"

"Oh hey!" Mi entered with an awkward smile. Her hand at the back of her neck.

"Oh Noona?" Yoongi questioned, furrowing his brows.

"I was thinking of doing the duet. Let's just skip the choreo. Please," Mi passed.

Yoongi's eyes brightened while Dami's became dull. "Me and Jimin worked hard on the choreo," she pouted.

"Please understand Dami. I'm sorry-"

"No it's completely okay," Yoongi interrupted her, giving Dami a glare.

"Oh thanks. Meet you later, then?" She said and he nodded, allowing her to leave the place.

"We cannot be over ambitious Dami," he spoke but she whined.

"Chim would be so sad-"

"I am sad over this too. Miss Kim Dami," a voice came from behind making both of their heads snap towards it.

Jimin and Aera stood at the door. Both had their hands crossed on their chests. Aera was giving an intimidating glare that caused Yoongi's head to drop down, not meeting her piercing gaze.

Jimin raised his brows at Dami and she giggled nervously.

"Actually, Chim... That... You know..."

"I said no to that. I asked you one thing Dami and that was not disturbing or forcing Mi Noona!"

"Chim you don't understand, we just had to-"

"Mhm, sure," he spoke and turned back, walking afar.

"Baby..." She trailed off, following him, leaving behind Aera and Yoongi.

Yoongi glanced up slightly and Aera eased a little and sighed. "You'll hurt her this way," she spoke in a concerned tone.

"She's already hurting," he reasoned, not looking into her eyes. His fingers were tracing the keyboard keys in nervousness.

"Exactly," she spoke. "She's hurting since she knew him personally. Give her space. She'll do anything for us, for our fans. Let her do something for herself, Yoongi."

"What if that something would hurt her even more?" He looked up daringly.

"She loves him and we know that. No matter what you say. Till she'll blame him, he'll be dejected. Till he's dejected, she can't be happy. Happiness is a transitive property when you're in love."

"But I've never seen her this broken," she sighed, looking down. Her heart heavy. Somewhere she was blaming herself that all this happened... As a leader, as a friend, she felt like a failure.

Yoongi walked upto her nervously and placed a hand on her shoulder. "It's fine, she'll get through."

She hummed, looking away. Tears welling in her eyes but she successfully tucked them in.

"I cannot stop you but I request you, don't hurt her by forcing her," she glanced back at him. "I don't care of the charts or of the fickle fame and adulation. I care about her because she did for us. More than a friend, as a family."

Yoongi gulped watching her pleading eyes.

"Do you think letting this loose will help her?" He questioned and she just remained silent.

"No," he responded, "She'll slowly create a wall of her own reasonings if she's not provided with a credible one. She'll victimize herself and that'll hurt her more and more. To the level that she'll become weak and unable to cope with such a formidable adversary. Believe me, Aera."

"I... I can't-" her voice cracked. She exhaled a shuddering breath trying to compose herself when Yoongi stepped ahead to embrace her.  She instantly hugged him back, needing that support for her dwindling conscience.

He motioned his hand down her back to soothe her. "She'll be fine. We'll help her, she has to be when she has people like you backing her."
