Jimin walked hand in hand with Taehyung as they entered the building the next day.

Fresh air but the same old aura, Jimin was stressed. Taehyung's hand rubbed his back as they neared Hoseok's office.

"Don't worry about it. They will never replace you." Taehyung huskily whispers in Jimin's ears. His morning deep voice is freaking ticklish!!!

Alas, his actions brought a hopeful smile on Jimin's face and his mood lightened up.

"I'm not worried tho it's just..." Jimin denied, shaking his head as he knocked on the HRH office door.

The door opens right after. To everyone's surprise Min Yoongi greeted the boys with a smile. Jimin and Tae gave each other a look before blinking their eyes twice.

'Is he really smiling in the morning?' Jimin questioned the whole universe in his mind and continued, 'Must have had a good sleep last night.'

I agreed to Jimin's thoughts.

"Oh, Jiminnahhh. I was about to call you." Yoongi cooed with his soft features enhancing in the bright light.

"Woahh… Hyung how are you sounding joyful in the early morning?" Taehyung questioned as he stepped back giving Yoongi space to walk out.

"Rare sight." Jimin whispered but Yoongi shrugged as he said, "Meet me when you're free. We need to record a new song." Throwing a wink at Jimin, Suga walks away.

"Told you. You are in the song." Taehyung chirped at Jimin, nudging his shoulder.

"I guess so." Jimin trails as his bubble kind of brust.

"Anyways, good luck for today." Taehyung patted Jimin's head which felt so loving and I was left in awe.

"You too, do your best." Jimin wishes as his eyes close when he smiles.

I could see nothing. Tsk!

"Oh Mr Park. I was ab-"

"About to call him to record the new song?" Taehyung interrupted Mr Ming's sentence in the middle.

The PA shakes his head in agreement.

"We know." Taehyung spoke as the corner of his lips lifted up in an amusing grin.

"See you for lunch?" Jimin questioned unsurely and Tae nodded as yes.

"Bye, Mr Ming." With that Tae was out of mine and Jimin's frame and we brought back our attention to something important.

A confirmation.

Which was necessary for Jimin to understand his position in the album. His already recorded song "Sakura" which was supposed to be the title track of Summer of Love drama. The question is that is being replaced in a way? Jimin was not sure but he needed to be.

"Sir, Mr Park is here to see you." Mr Ming informed Hoseok with a bow.

"Oh, this was fast. I just told you to get him. You never fail to impress me, Mr Ming." Hoseok complimented as he misunderstood.

"No, sir. I was coming here to discuss something." Jimin hesitantly spoke and I felt the same aura of Hoseok when I saw or talked to him.

Not very cheerful. Strictly professional, if I put it in safe words. But unsafe words will sound rude, just like the person himself.

"Oh, what about?" Hoseok questioned hinting Jimin to come and sit.

"About Sakura's position in The Summer of Love album. I want to confirm if my song is going to be the title track for the drama?"

Jimin tilted the chair and sat with gratitude.

Soft smile reached out on Hoseok's face when he understood Jimin's insecurities.

"Of course, your song is going to be the title track." Hoseok nodded his head in agreement.

Jimin sat there as he was still hesitant but he decided to speak.

"But sir, if the new song will be titled related to summer then people will take that song as a title track even if we say Sakura is the main song." Jimin spoke with caution, slowly letting his words roll inside Hoseok's ear. So that he will understand.

"Mention of title track will be ignored by the audience when they have a relatable titled song to the drama." Hoseok paid full attention to Jimin as he mused.

Jimin's eyes finally relaxed when he didn't receive any negative backlash of pointing out this problem to his boss.

"Sakura is a really important song to me and I don't want it to be a b-side song."

Jimin expressed himself because he has the authority to do that. This is his song. He produced it, wrote it and lastly sang it, then why not ask the best for it too? If he will not ask then who will?

The song deserves to be treated good.

About Jimin's career, he started his journey this year only. There are chances that his song will be ignored most probably when it is not the title track.

As a newbie singer Jimin's growth depends on every single work he does.

"I guess I will need some time to think about your song, Jimin." Hoseok's words were very tricky which even I feared.

Jimin's breath hitched, eyes blinked with slight panic but his composed self was maintained as his mind shouts at him to not react or create any fuss here.

'Is he going to remove my song from the album!?' Jimin asks himself in his baffled state. His fingers shaky, thus he tightened his knuckles in a fist.

"You can leave for now on."

Hoseok didn't even look at the poor boy and just dismissed him.

Summer of love is in last page of editing. If Hoseok's words were hinting that they will remove the song. Then they'll have to go through a very swift re-editing.

Anyhow, the editing should be completed within three weeks or else the drama will have to be released unedited.

But if the editors will manage then this will be the biggest threat to Jimin. His head hurts now as he rose up from his seat to leave, totally not forgetting to bow.

"Have a good day, sir-r." Jimin forced his tone to be as soft as he could make it but in the end he shuttered eventually.

Hoseok hummed without looking up from some paper in his hand when Jimin's body lifted and eyes met his boss. He turned his tale not knowing what to expect.

His head had surely become a mess.

I was feeling suffocation again. It was no more a relaxing space I was in the whole night. Some nonstop noises were blaming Jimin for no reason.

'Stupid, now you'll not even get to release the song!'

'Oh, why are you dramatic, Jimin!'

'If a song is good then it will reach out to the audience itself. It doesn't need to be a single or title track.'

'Right! Look how insecure you made yourself look in front of Hoseok! He will think your song is not good enough and you don't have faith in the song.'

Why wouldn't he ask for his rights? i was getting angrier, badly triggered.

'To be honest, if the song is good then people will listen to it.'

'I agree, status makes no difference.'

'You did a mistake.'

What mistake!?

He is giving a song which can be the best out of all then why not ask for it to be treated likewise?

I see no mistake in what Jimin did!! These sounds make no sense! I'm sure it's Jimin only, thinking nonsense. Blaming himself.

"What happened to you, Jimin?" Mr Ming shook Jimin's body, bringing both of our souls out of our mind.

But what was confusing here that fear took over Jimin. He started to shiver as if he saw a ghost.

"Nam-j-joon H-hyung!"

My name was a shaky yet so soundless whimper which slid in Mr Ming's sharp hearing senses and his posture turned into a more confused one than it already was.

"Who?" He questioned as if he is not familiar with my name. Tsk!

It irked me more when Jimin clearly takes my name and he had the same expression but rather than saying anything related to me, Mr Ming advised Jimin to take care.

These people should be mourning at my funeral but instead they all are acting as if they forgot me! When will the news about my death come out!?!

I'm impatient to be declared dead!
