BTS: GAY

Chapter 4 - NOT TODAY

"Do you know how shocked I am when I saw you almost n.a.k.e.d in a strange room? If you were with our staffs or members, I won't feel angry. But if it's someone else, who could be a paparazzi or someone who tried to bring us down by pretending to be our fan, you really put us at stake!" Yoongi angrily expressed his thought.

Everyone became quiet in the car. Jimin and Namjoon looked at each other. Jin unable to say anything. It could be his fault putting BTS reputation in danger.

The car suddenly became slower. They were at the Barstow to eat their lunch. Since there were a lot of people around the area, only Sejin and the other staff went out to buy their fast food at the McDonald's. Soon after the car stopped, Yoongi opened the door hard and saw Sejin outside the door. Sejin surprised the door opened so fast and hard. He saw Yoongi's dark expression and asked why. Yoongi only told Sejin he will change the seat.

"I will ride the first car, exchange with any members," said Yoongi short. Sejin asked him what food he wanted to order while he walked towards the first car, he just replied anything. Sejin looked at three of other members in the second car, and shaked his head slowly. He can feel the pressure and tension without saying anything. He walked towards the restaurant while putting his hand on his neck at the back.

Sejin and the staff bought the foods and came to the cars. Sejin ate in the second car and talked to Namjoon outside the car after eating to know what happened in the car. Namjoon told everything to Sejin. Sejin sighed. He told Namjoon to gather everyone as soon as they check-in the hotel in LA. Namjoon nodded his head. After they finished eating, Jungkook went into the second car as an exchanged with Yoongi. Jungkook observed everyone emotion but did not say anything. He felt hard to expressed his emotion, but he feels sad looking at his brothers fought among themselves.

At the hotel, everyone gathered in Namjoon's room. Sejin talked about this morning incident with everyone. They discussed everything on the possible harm to the group and company, how serious the issue, they talked about self-control and found a resolution to the problem. Everyone found a mutual agreement about the drunk incident, promised not to happen again, and expressed the importance of taking care of each other. Sejin left the room after that.

After the meeting with Sejin, they had a meeting among BTS members. This meeting focused on the fight between Jin and Yoongi. Everyone shared their personal thoughts on the issue. Both Jin and Yoongi are the oldest members of the group. They know their behaviours towards each other are important as it could affect the whole team work. Although there is still bad feeling tangling in each other hearts, they decided to forget everything and focus on how they can recover their relationship. They know everyone is different in handling problem and emotion. They said they will try to understand each other, apologised for worrying other members and reconciled their friendship that night.

The next morning, BTS hoped to start the day fresh as they are preparing for the world tour in US. However, they got a piece of surprise news through the media. The news stated that a GHB power drug found in a billboard winner hotel room. The report also mentioned the winner is a male singer who got drunk and created a small incident yesterday. BTS members couldn't help but affected by the news. Although the news didn't mention who is the singer they referring to, but they got a strong feeling that the report directed to them. Thanks to ARMY, the fans defending them and assured BTS will not involved in this kind of behaviour.

Sejin summoned them once again this morning in his room. "We got bad news. I think all of you saw how many people tagged the drug report in our social media. I don't want to say this, but I think it is something that relates to us," Sejin stopped and looked at Jin.

Sejin took a deep breathe before continued, "Big Hit already knew about yesterday's incident. They actually didn't know about yesterday incident until this report broke out this morning. I have no choice but to tell everything. So now we need to prepare for the worst. I don't want to demotivate you. You have a concert to prepare. Focus on that concert first, never respond to anything related to this news, don't give any comments. They can't do anything if you ignored the report entirely. Big Hit now looking further into this report. If anything, they will let us know".

Sejin ended the sudden meeting by encouraging them to stay united, support each other and trust the members. Everyone agreed to stay focus on their concert and don't give attention to the news. However, other media platform started highlighting on the drug issue and what is the small incident the original report mentioned. The reporter started digging the issue hard. The public was eager to know who is the billboard winner they are referring to.

Jin cannot help but feel insecure about the issue. He knew other members also feel uncomfortable but don't want to make him feel bad. They played around and make fun of each other as usual until the concert day.

BTS kicked off the Love Yourself: Speak Yourself tour in Los Angeles. The first day went smooth. All of them felt satisfied with the concert as everything went as planned with no big incident. The Rose Bowl concert was perfect. Jin started to feel good and remove his thought from thinking about the drug issue. He wanted to give his everything on the second-day concert because the feedback on the first concert was better than what he expected. It was a beautiful concert which he and the rest of BTS members wanted to do better on the second day and give the best memory to ARMY.

On the second day concert, BTS stand on stage as bright as usual. The concert started smooth. However, during the solo stage, Jungkook saw someone familiar standing among the fans while he was singing Euphoria. Since he had to sing while flying several rounds, he took that opportunity to look at the same direction several times to recognise the face. On the second round, he then recognised. It was that fanboy, Steve was there. Jungkook kept his professionalism and pretended not to know him. After he finished his solo performance, he went backstage thinking to tell his BTS brothers. But he didn't want the concert to get affected, he kept quiet until the concert completed.

After the concert, they ate together. Jungkook told them what he saw during his solo performance. Jin's expression became dark. For some reason, he really hates to recall the memory with him. Jimin tried to console him. Namjoon told everyone not to get affected by Steve. For the first time after a few days, the issue being addressed once again, and the name they don't want to mention came out again.

"We are not sure whether the drug issue is really directed to us. We don't know whether Steve is apart of the cause of this issue either. Even if Steve is really wrong and has a bad intention, we don't know whether he really wants to harm us with the drug issue, or Jin hyung coincidentally there at the wrong place and at the wrong time. Why did he want to take a selfie in the first place if this is really his intention? He even gave that photo to Sejin hyung when they talked personally after we returned to the hotel on that day. We now think he is really a suspicious person, that is why we got affected by Steve's presence. We are afraid that he will bring harm to us. But what if, he is really innocent? What if the drug issue has nothing to do with us?" Namjoon commented and tried to analyse the whole things.

Jimin added, "We don't even find any drug either. I don't think the drug is related to us. If we think the drug issue is related to us just because of Jin hyung had a small incident and the media mentioned that, there is a possibility that other billboard winner also created incident after billboard party. It might be irrelevant to us. We might just wasting our time worrying about this issue now. It could be just a trivial issue".

Hoseok agreed to that, "True. We don't know who is at fault. We cannot simply blame anyone. What we can do now just to focus on your tour. Let's not get affected by that night incident, the drug issue, and Steve appearance in our concert".

"Jin-hyung, I'm sorry for telling you about this. I thought I need to let everyone know to stay alarm since Steve looked so suspicious. I didn't mean to make everyone worry," said Jungkook, feel embarrassed opened up about the issue.

Jin who found Jungkook apologies as cute, patted his hair, responded, "Hey, no need to feel sorry. If you didn't tell about this, we unable to discuss together the issue like this. We don't know what everyone thought about this issue. Don't feel bad, Jungkook-a. Whatever you know, just tell us, so that we can prepare mentally and emotionally".

"Since you said like that, I really curious about something. Can I ask?" Taehyung funnily asked Jin permission to ask a question. Everyone smiled looking at him. Jin gave his permission, but suddenly Taehyung expression became serious.

"I don't think I should ask now. I will ask you later," said Taehyung. Everyone shouted as he made other members curious with his question. Yoongi and Jimin laughed when everyone suddenly shouted. Taehyung said he really cannot ask anything. He was afraid it will hurt Jin.

"Just ask. Since when we have a secret among ourselves? Just ask. Let me handle my own emotion to get hurt or not. I am the one who responsible to my own emotion," said Jin, wittily but composed.

Jimin and Jungkook impressed with Jin's word said, "Wow, so cool. Our hyung is cool",

Taehyung carefully asked, "Do you really not remember anything from that night? You usually don't forget everything when you are drunk. Even you got really drunk, you will at least have partial memory. But this time you got a total lost of memory. Do you really not remember anything? Or is there anything that happen on that night that you don't want to reveal, don't want us to know?".

Yoongi immediately cut Taehyung question, "Ya!". He stared at Taehyung. Taehyung immediately apologies and said, "That's why I don't want to ask. Sorry, Jin hyung". The room just lose its tension become awkward again.

Jin responded, "No worries. What i told you guys before is everything that I could remember that night. I remember I forgot which one was my room. We always changed our hotel a lot, so sometimes i got confused. I remember opened the door and I thought it was my room. Then, I forgot everything. This is really the only things that I can remember". He put his emotion in every single words he said to convince BTS members.

"I think he is really honest now. He honestly didn't remember anything. I often had a deep conversation with him, so for this one I trust him. He doesn't lie when he said like this," said Jimin.

Jin added, "Thanks, Jimin," He high five Jimin and continued, "When I woke up that day, I got really shocked looking at both of us. You know the feeling when you got caught in a one night stand?".

Hoseok answered, "No, because we never had". Everyone started laughing.

"Okay, fine. But I didn't recognised him even after I saw the selfie we took together. But you know, sometimes we got the feeling that we know each other even when it is just your first met? I got that feeling. But I don't remember or had any memory".

After listening to Jin, Yoongi provided his opinion slowly, "That's because your memory don't remember him. But your body and heart recognised him. That is why you feel like that towards him".

Namjoon, Jimin and Jin suddenly burst out laughing. BTS members found Yoongi words was too extra.

"Ahh...Yoongi-ya. It's not like we are dating," said Jin.

Jungkook added, "Suga hyung's words like a drama line".

"Okay, I trust you, hyung. Let's trust each other. Because we are Bangtan," said Taehyung. Everyone clapping hearing to that short encouraging words.

Suddenly, Sejin came towards their table and hurriedly told them to finish eating fast. They was told that Big Hit just found out something and they need to return to their hotel now.
