*next day
Y/n woke up and opened her laptop and looked up for jobs. She didn't refresh yet and just looked into new jobs.
She was scrolling through the laptop when something caught her eye. She refreshed herself fast and called to the number given.
"Hello." She said.
"Hello, who is this?" The person ont he other line asked.
"I am Lee Y/n. I went through your website and saw that you needed a photographer. Well, I thought I could be fit for the job."
"Well, miss Lee, we are conducting an interview tomorrow. It would be great if we can meet up there."
"Sure, sure. Thank you so much." She said and the call ended.
'Finally! I got into a job.' She said and went to take a shower.
Taehyung, who stood by her room, overheard her. He felt his heart break when Y/n was working in some other company, when she was avoiding him, when he couldn't see her in his office. He really missed her talking.
He took in a deep breath and left.
*next day
Taehyung got up early and left to find out about Ara.
First, he went to meet her friends. Actually, his friend. He had a friend who was a close friend of hers. And he knew everything about her family and the things she did to Y/n. He was a friend to Y/n too. But later, they lost in touch.
"So, tell me from the start. Everything." Taehyung said. He nodded and started.

Ara's flashback
Ara Cho, the daughter of the Cho Company owner. Ara's mother passed away due to illness. SInce then her father took care of her but not everytime. He was busy with work so he had servants for that.
During weekends, they'd spend time together. And that's where her father met Y/n's mother and they both had been meeting regularly and decided to marry.
And that's when they entered Y/n's family. Ara, since she met Y/n, hated her. She never really thought of her as a sister or a family member. She treated her like a third person. She asked her to work for her. She treated Y/n like a servant.
But at the same time, Y/n did oppose for her demands. She used to fight her back and not do the work. She got pissed off and made Y/n's friends to hate her. Since then, y/n only had Jungkook.
One day, Y/n was at Ara's room, cleaning it as her mom said her to. Ara thought this as an advantage for her and ordered her to do things. Y/n didn't listen to her and did her work.
She got really annoyed and pissed. She threw something sharp on her shoulder and that's how Y/n got a scar on her shoulder.
Y/n didn't wanna get into trouble cause of that and just did whatever she asked.
The day her father passed away she blamed Y/n for her father's death. Y/n never talked with her father. She blamed everything on her and shouted on her and embarrassed her infront of everyone.
--------
"Y/n is trying to overcome the past, but whenever she sees Ara, she just gets those thoughts back. I have seen her feel uncomfortable a lot of times when she's with her." He said.
Taehyung nodded his head.
'So, there is something between Y/n and Ara.' He thought.
"Anyways, thanks a lot, Min-ho." Taehyung bid him goodbye and left.
He drove to the dorm. But his thoughts were on Y/n, not Ara. He was worried about Y/n. He never knew Ara was like this. He was shocked hearing all the torture Ara had given to Y/n.
He reached the dorm and entered. The others were eating and he joined them. As he was eating Jungkook looked at him. Taehyung saw him looking at him and asked him.
"What are you looking at me for?"
"Remember when Y/n asked to hold the rose and feel it like the person you like the most?" Jungkook asked. He nodded in response.
"I am wondering who you were thinking about. Who was it?"
"A person I know. Why does it matter to you?" Taehyung said.
"I just wanna know. But that person has a name, hyung. Who is it?" As Jungkook asked, the others got interested in it and started asking him.
"Ok, ok." He said and cleared his throat.
"It's... um..... it's Y/n." he said.
"Wae?" Jin asked.
"She has helped in everything. And I just 'like' her. Not 'love'. I love Ara." he said.
'Do I really, just like Y/n? Do I really love Ara?' Taehyung asked himself.
Jungkook looking at him, understood what he was thinking. He smiled at it and ate.
Soon Taehyung finished eating, he left home. While, Jungkook went to his room and called Y/n.
"Hello Y/n." He said.
"Hey Kook. What is it?" She asked.
"I guess Tae hyung likes you." He said.
"Kook, please. Don't do this." She said.
"It is real." He said and told her what happened during the lunch time.
"It's ok." She said.
"What ok? Y/n, he has feelings for you. But he doesn't realise it. Don't give up your hopes."
"Kook, I don't have hopes on myself. How can I have hopes on that? I have an interview to attend. Bye." She said and cut the call.
Y/n got ready and was ready to go. She walked out of the house and took a taxi and asked the driver to take her to the destination.
Soon she reached there and she was a bit excited and sad, at the same time. She debated whether she should go in or not. Whether she was ready to go on to the next job.
'No, I have to do this. What if I don't like it? I'll give it a try.' She said and walked in.
As she entered, she was quite amazed by the infrastructure of the building. It was huge and big, decorated beautifully. Just then, she dashed into someone, by mistake.
"I-I'm so sorry." She said.
"It's ok. My fault." A guy, looked younger than her, good looking and smart, said.
"I've never seen you before. Are you new here?" He asked.
"Yeah, I came here for an interview. Where can I find the manager's office?" She asked.
"I'm on my way there. I'll help you." He said and guided her. Y/n followed him.
They walked through the stairs and reached the manager's office. They both entered in at the same time.
"Sir, you need to sign in these forms." The guy said and handed the papers to the manager and mouthed "all the best" to Y/n and left.
"Sir, I am Lee Y/n. I called yesterday for the job." She said.
"Ah, yeah. Y/n, sit down please." He said and she handed him her file.
He went through her file and was quite shocked.
"Sir, is everything ok with my file?" She asked, doubtedly.
"You quit from the biggest photographic companies in Seoul. Any reason?" He asked.
"Personal issues." She said.
"You are very different from others. But this is quite beyond belief. People rarely get chance to get into that company and it's hard to get into such a company like that. But you have quit it. Anyways, past is past. I don't wanna talk about it."
"It's ok sir." She said and looked at him for a response.
"You are selected."
"Really?!" She was shocked.
"Yeah. You can start from today, if you want." He said.
"Sure sir. Thank you sir." She bowed.
"Here's your ID." She took it and bowed and left.
As she went out, the guy who helped her, was standing there and looked like he was waiting for her.
"Are you selected?" He asked eagerly. She took her ID and showed him. He smiled a lot.
"You seem a lot happier than me." She said. He smiled more.
"I'm sorry, I forgot to introduce myself. I am Lee Y/n." Y/n said and put her hand forward.
"I'm Choi Beomgyu. Nice to meet you." He said and shook his hand with her.
"Nice to meet you too." She said.
"You look younger." Y/n said.
"I'm sorry. I didn't mean it that way. It's just yo-" He cut him and said.
"It's ok. I understand. I just work as an assistant here. But I am also learning for photography." He said.
"That's nice. So I am new here. Can you show me around?" He nodded and guided her.
"So where did you work before?" He asked.
"I worked at ABC Company." hearing her, he stood frozen.
"You came from ABC Company, the biggest company in Seoul. You left that and came here?"
"I had to leave from there. Some personal issues."
"Going into that company is my dream. I really wanna work there. If not possible, I just wanna atleast enter and look in and meet my inspirations." He said.
"You have quite wide dream. Hold onto it and never let it go. Work hard and you will sure get in there, one day."
"Thank you noona." He said.
"Please don't call me noona. Just call me Y/n." He nodded.
"So where are you from?" She asked.
"I am from Daegu. Even Taehyung hyung is from Daegu. He is the best photographer. He is my first inspiration." He said. Y/n just smiled and tried forgetting it, but she couldn't.
"Ok, so where is my office?"
"Oh. That one, there." He said and Y/n thanked him and walked to her office and sat down.
She let out a heavy sigh. She felt relieved that she found a company, but she still couldn't forget about Taehyung. Every single time, minute, second. She couldn't stop thinking about him. After, what Jungkook said.
'No Y/n. Just forget it. It's not gonna happen. It doesn't matter. Just focus on the job. Just. Focus.'
She let out a heavy breath and went out. She walked to the cafeteria and sat down, sipping on her coffee.
