You were on your way to a club, dressed in an all-black sexy outfit, and ready to go on a mission. You're meeting with your co-workers and boss. You brought a black mask as always. Nobody knows that you're Y/N, except for your boss and Mark.
You saw your boss and co-workers.
"Hey, boss. I thought there were new girls? Why am I the only girl here?" You asked.
"Oh- Babe! Nice to meet you again! I really missed-" Mark was going to kiss and hug you, but you pushed him away.
Then, the other boys laughed at him.
"I'm not your babe, Mark." You said.
Mark pouted.
"And who are these other fools?" You asked.
"They're the recruits. They're a lot stronger than the previous ones." Your boss said.
"Boys, meet X1," Your boss introduced you, and they all gasped, amazed.
"Ohhhhh... you're known as the strongest a-"
You threw a bottle glass in his stomach to make him stop. Knowing that he didn't even manage to dodge it angered you.
"Aish... these boys are MUCH STUPID THAN THE LAST ONES!" You shouted.
"That's why I gave them to you. Teach them. They're stronger but still need to improve their heads. You're the best one who can teach them properly." Your boss said.
"Then why is Mark here?" You asked, annoyed.
"He's here to help you out in a new mission. I have already sent it to you." Your boss said.
"This is why I should've resigned before. Aish! LET'S GO!" You shouted and left.
"Yah, babe. Wait for me!!!" Mark said.
Mark put his arm around your shoulder but accidentally removed your mask. Your eyes widened and brought it back on. Some girls saw your face, and they recognized you. They immediately took a picture of you with Mark before you could even remove his arm around you. And you already noticed it.
"Sh*t..." You mumbled.
*After the mission*
"Everyone go back and report to the headquarters. Don't celebrate here. And Mark, come with me..." You said with a deadly glare.
Mark knew that he had done something very wrong. You and Mark returned to the headquarters, and the workers and the other secret agents quickly clapped for your successful mission. But they all stopped when you came inside looking pissed.
"What happened?" They asked each other.
Then they saw Mark.
"I think Mark did something..." A worker said.
You stopped in front of everyone. And Mark stopped in front of you, looking serious.
You slapped him hard, and he looked at one side.
"Out of all the stupid mistakes you can make, you actually accidentally removed my mask?! You know what might happen if they posted that picture! Thanks to the lack of time, I didn't even manage to get those girls to delete it!" You shouted.
He quickly looks at you, shocked.
"What do you mean?" He asked.
"I saw those girls. They saw my face... and took a picture of us! If something bad happened... YOU'RE F*CKING DEAD... and I don't care even if you're my friend." You said coldly and left.
You drove back to the dorm. But it was too late as the picture was already trending on social media.
"I'm home-"
"What is this, Park Y/n?" Taehyung asked, showing you the picture while the other boys looked at you.
"What's that?" You asked, pretending you didn't know.
Taehyung scoffed.
"You really don't know? Aren't you at the club earlier? It's already midnight. If you didn't come to the club, where were you?" Taehyung asked, mad.
"I'm at work," You said in a serious tone.
"Then why does this post tell that you were at a club?! WITH ANOTHER GUY?!" Taehyung shouted.
"That's not me! AND WHY DO YOU CARE?!" You shouted.
"REMEMBER THAT WE REVEALED TO THE PUBLIC THAT WE'RE DATING!" Taehyung shouted back.
"THEN TELL THEM THE TRUTH! OR IF YOU DIDN'T WANT YOUR IMAGE TO GET DIRTY... THEN TELL THEM YOU BROKE UP WITH ME!"
"It's not that easy-"
"Not that easy? Isn't this just a fake relationship? There were no feelings involved. Why is announcing a breakup hard to do?" You asked.
Taehyung didn't know what to say. After you come to your senses, you realize what you had said.
'What the f*ck is wrong with me today?' You thought and clenched your fist.
"Now that you know that I like you, shouldn't I be the one who refuses to finish this stupid game? You didn't like me. Oh wait... you do like me... but differently. You like me as a friend. That's why I never have the guts to tell you about my feelings. Then, you got a girlfriend, and I blame myself for not making the first move. It was so f*cking hard to watch that the person you love is in love with another as thousands of knives punctured my heart every time I see you." You paused.
You felt tears coming out. But you didn't care anymore.
"I'm good at hiding my true feelings. But lying to millions of people that I was dating you? I can't handle that too much responsibility, Taehyung."
Then your tears began to fall.
"Please... please, Taehyung-ah... Please help me get out of that spotlight and leave me... alone." You said and went to lock yourself in your room.
The next morning, you woke up and went down to find something to eat. Then you saw Jin.
"Oh morning, Y/n. Come and eat. I cooked breakfast for you." He said softly.
"You didn't have to, oppa," You said, looking all gloomy.
He put a plate in front of you and gave you some pancakes. He turned off the stove, put the dishes in the sink, and stood before you.
"What are you doing? The pancakes are getting cold. Eat it fast. Isn't that your favorite?" He asked.
You nodded and started eating.
"Oh! Y/n, do you want to come with us later to the awards? It'll be fun-"
"No, it's okay, oppa. I'm not feeling well." You said.
"What? Are you sick?" He asked, worried.
"No... I'm just... not in the mood to go. I want to stay at home." You said.
"Really? Are you sure you're fine being alone in here?" He asked.
"Yes," You said with no hesitation.
"It will not be fun if you're not there." He said, pouting.
"But... I will just distract you guys because I was not in the mood. I will just make you guys worried." You said.
"What? You're not a distraction. You're our happy pill. If we didn't have you, then the performance would be just a performance and nothing else." He said, getting disappointed.
"Then I'll watch you guys later. Please do your best for me, even though I'm not really there. I'm watching you on the TV." You said with a smile, trying to cheer him up.
"You really are something, Y/n... you're the most hurt one in this house, but you can still manage to cheer someone up." He said, saddened.
"You wanna know why, oppa?" You asked.
He just looks at you, waiting for your answer.
"Because I just became your friend to cheer you guys up. Being an idol is hard. You receive a lot of love, but you also receive a lot of hate. You have the ARMYs to cheer you up, but I was like the bandage to cover and heal your injured hearts. I was just an instrument for ensuring that the 7 of you would be happy 24/7. And... nothing else." You said.
"That's not true, Y/n. You were like part of our family. You're not an instrument, but the person that became part of our life. If you leave us, we will feel empty and feel like we're nothing." He said.
"Whatever you say, oppa. But no one knows that this person..." You paused and pointed at yourself.
"... Has been suffering for years, ever since she was a child. Her parents hurt her and left her while she was 7 years old. She was all alone in the dark, starving. She was brought to the orphanage, but the other kids bullied her. Her childhood was like a living hell for her. When she grew up, she got harassed by a man that gave her trauma. She recovered and joined an organization. That organization helped her become stronger, so she could fight for herself. Then she met a boy that introduced her to another 6 boys after 4 years. They became best of friends, and she grew feelings for a boy that would never love her the way she loved him... Her life sucks, right? She sometimes asked herself, ' why am I living in this world if I'm so useless?' 'There are so many angels that wanted to live in this world but never got the chance... but why me? I'm a liar... useless... sinner... and... no one..."
"Y/n..." Jin was shocked to know another side of you that he didn't see before.
You chuckled and apologized, "I'm sorry. I said some unnecessary things again."
