After your exams, you were so thrilled to inform Seokjin.

You: My examination was super simple! I just can't wait to graduate in a few weeks.

Seokjin: That's awesome, Bunny! I've passed all my subjects too. Only have full two years left for my Film degree. We're almost there Bunny.

You felt a rush of pride for both of them.Their hard work was paying off. You can't believe that you've almost done with formal schooling.

You: We should definetly celebrate that too.

Seokjin: Absolutely sweetie. How about we take a lovely trip outside Seoul for our next Sunday meeting? Let's make it a little more adventurous. What do you think?.

Seokjin proposed.

Your excitement was palpable.

You: That sounds perfect. I'm so excited!

Seokjin: We're will be driving out very early. I really miss you Bunny.

You felt a warmth spread through your chest and quickly typed back.

You: I miss you too, Seokjin. It's been a hectic day, but hearing from you always makes it better.

Their conversations had evolved from casual chats to deep, meaningful exchanges. They texted each other 24/7, their phones becoming lifelines connecting them despite their busy schedules. There was a magnetic pull between them, an unspoken attraction that made their interactions charged with excitement and anticipation.

Seokjin: When's your birthday, Bunny?

You: It's next month on the 10th. In two weeks time, I'll be 18 years.

Seokjin: Wow! We must celebrate it together. Just the two of us. It'll be special."

Your heart fluttered.

The idea of spending your birthday with Seokjin made you giddy.

You: I'd love that...but it will be on a Friday.

Your heart fluttered at the thought of spending your birthday with Seokjin.

Seokjin: Then we'll celebrate it physically on the Sunday.

The prospect of their secret meetings filled them with a mix of excitement and nervousness, a thrilling anticipation of shared experiences and deepening intimacy.

....

At the JYP agency, the air was electric with anticipation. The first cut from De-N-im would be revealed that Friday afternoon after school. Everyone was super excited with anticipation, discussing the possible outcomes and the new directions their projects could take.

One day, you got the surprise of you life when you were unexpectedly added to the maknae line chat. Jimin, Taehyung, and Jungkook had apparently stolen your number from Seokjin's phone, with Jungkook knowing his hyung's passcode without his knowledge.

Taehyung: Hey Bunny2, what's up?

You were flabbergasted when you hear your name of endearment. It's true what Seokjin said ,these three were very mischievous together.

You: Huh! Who's Bunny1?

Taehyung: My Kookie.

Jimin: "Hello...So, what's your status with our hyung?"

Jungkook: Why did you enchant him so much? Our hyung is so old, why do you even like him? You could hang out with us.

You laughed loudly, their playful banter infectious.You sniffed your laughter so that Chaewon won't notice or hear from the bottom bunk.

You: "You guys are too much! Why didn't you insist on meeting me sooner then?"

Jimin: We had to make sure you were really this adorable. Send us a pic! We know how in love Jin-hyung is. He is so stingy and don't want us to meet you.

They shared embarrassing stories about Seokjin, making you laugh until your sides hurt. Oh my goodness. These kids.

Jungkook: Hey guys, remember that time Jin-hyung tried to cook ramen for us?! So, there's this one time when Seokjin hyung tried to impress us with his cooking skills. He was making ramen, and everything seemed fine until he accidentally grabbed sugar instead of salt. We were all sitting there, trying to be polite, but the sweet ramen was... unforgettable. 😂 He looked so proud until he took the first bite! 😂

You: OMG!

Taehyung: Oh yes! And the time he almost set the kitchen on fire because he forgot to add water to the ramen. The pot was literally smoking! 🔥

Jimin: Hahaha, Bunny2 Jin-hyung always claims he's the best cook. Remember his "famous" pancake incident guys. Tell her...?

Jungkook: You mean when he flipped the pancake so hard it hit the ceiling? It was stuck there for days!

Taehyung: And he acted like it was some kind of modern art. 😂

You: You make him sound more cuter for me.

Jimin: No! Classic Jin-hyung is strange. How about that time he tripped on stage during our concert?

Jungkook: Which one? That seems to happen a lot. 😆

Taehyung: The one where he tried to play it cool by doing a somersault but ended up rolling off the stage. He called it 'Flying Jin' and wanted to teach us the new move. We were all worried but couldn't stop laughing later.

You: It seems your hyung is a very hilarious guy. You don't have a dull moment with him hey. You guys have no mercy.

Jimin: Oh, of cause we don't. We told him we will get him back. Guys remember his speech at the award show? He got so nervous he started talking about his favorite anime instead. 🤣

Jungkook: That was gold. The look on everyone's faces was priceless. That's why I hide from Namjoon. I hate speeches.

Taehyung: Jin-hyung is always full of surprises. Gotta love him for that. Do you like him, less now Bunny2 .

You: No...you make him sound more endearing.

Jimin: Really! Ugh...but yeah, he's the best. Even with all the embarrassing moments, he always makes us laugh.

Jungkook: True! We wouldn't have it any other way. So, Bunny2 you are free to date our hyung. But just a heads up, he is going to be grey before you...

You burst out laughing, unable to stifle your outburst. Gosh these boys are so extra. But you can sense how much they love their hyung.

You: So, you give me your blessing to date him. He is just a mere three years older. Not 100 years gosh guys. What if he doesn't like me like that.

Jimin: Than you can date me. I have all the boyfriend material package. Jin-hyung only got the length... yeah and of cause he is pretty but.

Jungkook: Excuse me! Bunny2 can date me. I'm handsome and tall.

Taehyung: You not 17 yet.

Jimin: How old and how tall are you Bunny2

You: Almost 18 and 1.62m

Taehyung: Oh, than you can date Kookie...he will like a Noona.

Jungkook: We just teasing you Bunny2. Jin-hyung will disown us. Please date the 'old timer' so that we can hang out for real.

The playful teasing and camaraderie among the members show their strong bond and affection for their hyung.

Chaewon stood up and peer at the top bunk were you sat engaged with the three.

"What makes you laugh so much," she looked amused.

"Oh, TikTok shorts...very funny," You said laughingly swiftly change the tabs and quickly showed her some strange videos of a dancing baby. She smiled and nod, going back to her bed, texting her family.

You went back to your text.

Taehyung: Bunny2 Where are you there?...Are you ghosting us?😭

You: Sorry...had to do something quickly.Well, I like older guys, sorry and Jin's personality, his caring nature, and his strength in being in BTS without prior training, makes me admire him more."

Your admit but feeling your cheeks warm up. There are more qualities you love but will not tell them.

Jungkook: "Did our hyung took you on any romantic dates yet?" 😍

Jungkook asked mischievously.

You :I won't kiss and tell because you stole my number without your hyungs knowledge .Wait until your hyung knows about your naughtiness.

Taehyung: Please don't tell him,Bunny2. He won't feed us.🫢

Jungkook: His headlocks are dangerous!☠️

Jimin: Please!

You: You three are the worse. No, wonder he doesn't want to tell you anything.🫢

Jimin: You'll love us...we are very adorable and cute. 😇🥰

Jungkook: Don't tell him you're our friend now. He'll never let us meet you in person.🥺

Taehyung: Promise you'll keep us a secret from our hyung.

Jimin:...because we going to text you all the time. Can we be bestfriends.😉

You: Okay we can be friends then.

Awesome!!

You could just laugh and sent a cute photo of yourself you took at the studio, to the maknae chat room.

Jimin: Woah, you're so pretty.🙉 Seokjin-hyung is so lucky.

You: We're just friends guys.

Jimin: Oh, really. When you text our hyung he was smiling like an idiot.

You: It's the truth.

Taehyung: But you so 'world wide beautiful' 🤩

Jungkook: No wonder Jin-hyung wants to keep you for himself. Gosh, you're too gorgeous.🫠😉

You: Thanks guys for your kind words. You make me blush.😊

Throughout the day, your private chats flooded with messages from the superstar maknae line, wishing you great training even giving you advice and they also wish you a great day at the coming graduation.

After you came back from your vocal training on Wednesday evening, You asked Chaewon, "Where are Jiwoo and Soomin?" when you noticed their absence as they got home in the group van.

"I heard Garam asked them to help her with something," Chaewon replied as they entered the house,"Garam was crying because her younger sister was supposed to visit but never turned up. Her mom called and said her sister might have run off with her boyfriend. Garam was worried sick."

You and Chaewon grew increasingly concerned as the hours passed with no sign of their friends. They sat at the dinner table, anxiously waiting, when Garam returned, flustered.

"Ms. Choi, are Jiwoo and Soomin back?" Garam asked, clearly distressed, "I was waiting for them at the bowling club to help find my sister, but they never turned up. I sent them numerous messages."

Chaewon demanded to see the texts Garam sent to Jiwoo.

Though initially skeptical, the messages showed multiple calls and texts to Jiwoo and Soomin. The tension in the house grew thicker as everyone tried to contact the missing girls, but their phones were off.

Ms Choi and some of the senior girls contemplated to get the police and management involve.

It was past curfew, around 10 PM, when Jiwoo and Soomin finally came in, flanked by Ms. Oh and Mr. Jeon, their rap coach. Their red-rimmed eyes and disheveled appearance told a worrying tale.

They had been found drunk at a karaoke club where alcohol flowed freely. The club owner, upon discovering they were JYP trainees, contacted the management.The shock rippled through the group as Yuqi and Chaewon helped their friends to their room with Lia and Wonyoung's assistance.

Jiwoo and Soomin were beyond drunk, and the severity of the broken rules was evident in Garam's questioning by Ms. Oh and Mr. Jeon.

In the privacy of their room, Yuqi and Chaewon exchanged worried glances, unable to believe that their friends had ended up in such a state.

.....

The morning after the incident, left poor Soomin and Jiwoo in physical stress. Soomin and Jiwoo were in bad shape, their hangovers making it clear they were paying the price for the previous night's escapades.

Yuqi handed Soomin a glass of water and some painkillers while Chaewon rubbed Jiwoo's back, helping her through the waves of nausea.

She was humped over the toiletseat, puking profusely, while Soomin was laying on her bed, clutching her head in agony wincing with every small sound made in the room. She had a terrible headache which made it impossible for her to focus on anything.

You and Chaewon stood at the doorway, watching their friends with a mixture of concern and frustration. Once Jiwoo managed to sit up, the two girls moved to confront them. Jiwoo came out from the bathroom, looking weak and sick, but Chaewon couldn't hold back any longer.

"OMG! What were you two nincompoops thinking? Are you crazy?" Chaewon began; her voice was low but angry, "Going clubbing and drinking in the middle of the week, right before the eliminations? You know we're so close to debuting, oh my goodness !"

Your face were filled with nervous fury, you crossed your arms, adding, "You do know that this stunt. This could definetly ruin everything for you. How could you be so careless, listening and trying to help Garam. You both know she is not trustworthy?"

Jiwoo and Soomin looked tearful but before they could respond, house mom, Ms. Choi entered the room, her face stern and unyielding.She was beyond upset. You and Chaewon instinctively stepped back, your fear evident.The air around you became heavy and grew even more charged as Ms Choi fixed her gaze on Jiwoo and Soomin with pursed lips. Her arms folded over her torso.

"Sit down," Ms. Choi ordered,Jiwoo and Soomin, her voice sharp. The two girls obeyed, their expressions filled with dread.

"Right now I truly wanted know what exactly happened last night," she fiercely demanded, she demanded no excuses from the two.

She looked fierce and you wanted to cower at her tone, feeling sorry for your friends, "Do you two understand that you jeopardized your futures single-handedly. Do you understand the severity of this, do you? Why would you do something so irresponsible so close to your debut. What were you thinking. Coming home drunk in the middle of the week and being escorted with your head trainers. How will you get yourself out of thie fix...you broke three rules in one single night...clubbing, drinking and missing curfew ...you career in shables."

Soomin couldn't handle the stress and burst into tears. "Please believes us Ms Choi, we didn't drink we know the rules. We only went to Club Suga because Garam said she was there. We did looked for her and her sister and her sisters boyfriend. We couldn't find them. So we search all the twelve private rooms. The bouncer let us in because we're of age. We didn't know it was really a setup."

You and Chaewon swap confused glances, "A set up! What exactly do you mean Soomin?" Chaewon asked her eyes wide in shock.

Soomin started to cry in distress, tears were streaming down her red face, "Ms. Choi, please believe us, we didn't drink. We were really waiting for Garam. She told us clearly personally she will wait for us at club Suga. When we got there, the bouncer let us in because we're of age. We were looking for her, her sister and her boyfriend, thinking they might be in danger. The waiter told us to wait and he will find out about our friend and gave us sodas to drink. That's all we drank, I swear. Ms Choi. It was still 6:30."

Ms. Choi's eyes narrowed a little, "Are you telling me that Garam lied to you?"

Ms. Choi's eyes were confused, "So, you're saying Garam sent you to Club Suga? Why would she do such a thing ?"

You and Chaewon were clearly bewildered.The two different stories are becoming more fantastical. Who was in the wrong? The stories were logical and filled with emotions.

Ms. Choi immediately called Garam into the room.The tension was thick in the air as the rest of the girls gathered outside, eavesdropping. This is one of the most exciting happening in their lives as trainees. Two trainees having scandalous behavior.

Garam eyes were cautious when she walked in, looking so innocent and confused, "Ms Choi...I dont know what theyre talking about. I told them twice to meet me at the youth bowling club near Club Suga. I've even text them several times asking them where they were. I was searching on my own. Why would my sister go to a club? She's only 15. I thought she would be there...and I found her with the help of few bowling guys. She is safe at home now...punished and all." Garam explained earnestly.

You and Chaewon listened intently as the scene unfolded, from a corner of the room, trying to piece the truth together. You looked conflicted and trying to comprehend the truthfrom the lie. Garams innocence were proven, but it just doesn't add up. Chaewon just shook her head in disbelief.

Soomins' voice was rising in frustration as she retorted, fiercely, "You said Club Suga, Garam.We're not crazy. I remember it clearly and Jiwoo was a witness."

Garam throw her arms in the air, frustration visible and she shook her head fiercely, showing the messages on her phone, "I said the bowling club opposite Club Suga. My gosh! Not the actual club. Here, see for yourselves. I have the text messages to prove it, " She took out her bronze iPhone and gave it the waiting hands of Ms Choi.

The tension were mounting.

Ms. Choi checked the messages with deep furrowed brows. Indeed, Garam had mentioned in her text messages about the bowling club.

"Why didn't you answer your phones when I called multiple times?" Garam asked with an attitude.

Jiwoo, looking both angry and confused, replied, "I forgot my bag backpack in the studio. I remember placing our phones in my bag during recording. We thought we left them at the studio, but Ms Cho brought it with her. The phones were in a concealed compartment. When we checked, there were messages from you about the bowling center...but ---you clearly said Club Suga but texted the bowling centre."

Ms Choi shook her head and look disappointed at Jiwoo and Soomin who clearly were in a distressing position.

The apartment was divided. Some girls sided like Eunchae, Wonyoung and Yunjin with Garam openly, believing she wasn't at fault. Jiwoo and Soomin didn't hear correctly.

You, however, weren't convinced, "Garam, I know you're involved in this somehow," you said bluntly.

Jiwoo, whose eyes filled with inward anger, told Ms. Choi, "I know Garam is at fault. She set us up. I don't know how she did it, but I know she did. She is a conniving little monster.This feels like sabotage, especially with the eliminations coming up."

Garam look at her in disbelief, "What! Why would I do such a despicable thing. I'll never do that. Why would I feel inferior toward you two. My scores are higher than both of yours together and it will be proven with the first elimination rounds. You drank because you're stressed."

Jiwoo and Soomin both charge towards Garam to attack her, but Ms Choi jump in between them.

'Stop it! We will get to the bottom of this debacle." Ms Choi shouted sternly. You could see the heavy breathe inhalation of the trio.

Chaewon scowl and added, "Now you tell me? Why did this suddenly happen right before the eliminations? It's too coincidental. It's suspicious. "

Despite their arguments, Garam's friends defended her vehemently. The tension in the apartment was thick, the divide between the girls were clear.Kuzuha, Sakura and Yeji were neutral but Lia who liked Jiwoo and Soomin defended them.The two girls knows the rules and they don't drink.

Just then Ms Choi got a call from Mr J. Park.

Jiwoo and Soomin were summoned to the JYP studios to meet with Ms. Kang and a senior executive of the trainee program.

Some of the girls were standing there with wide eyes.

They left, nervous and scared, the uncertainty of the two girls' futures hanging over them like a dark cloud.

The stakes are higher than ever...
