BTS Eighth Member | The Life: Year 2017

Chapter 73- YG Worry

September 23rd, 2017:

The boys had been initially very concerned for me. They had all been confused by my reaction of laughter, obviously not having expected it. However, they were very relieved and proud of how nonchalantly I was taking this. It wasn't that I hadn't initially been scared, but how I had acted afterward. He truly had been stupid in coming to the photo op, not only did it boost my confidence in my growth, but it would also most likely result in a harsher sentence for him. The lawyers had gone to the police station to lobby for that, after he'd been caught, and I couldn't see how he wouldn't. I was curious as to how his tag hadn't alerted the police he was out of his boundary. My only guess was he lived near enough to the news studio for it to not go off, but I was skeptical because it was a relatively expensive neighbourhood. I wouldn't be surprised if it was down to police inefficacy and laziness. And seeing how there were tens of videos spreading online of the small chase, Twitter was on fire talking about it. The conversation mainly surrounded his audacity, and police incompetence to not keep him under control despite them being responsible to make sure he didn't break his curfew and boundary.

I was at home now, scrolling through Twitter posts talking about the Knowing Bros sequence where Yoongi said I had the most balls than anyone and the sexual follow up comment by Soogeun. Some of the fans were hilarious laughing at Soogeun and adding to my comment on his height. Some were honestly uncomfortable with the comment he made and Tweeted about how they hated I had to go through that every time we weren't on a Big Hit-controlled show. I couldn't help but finally smile as I read through social media posts. People were on my side, it felt nice. Kpop Twitter was talking about only two things right now, and both were in my defense.

I smiled even wider when a notification telling me Hanbin had texted back popped up at the top of my screen. It immediately fell when I thought about how I was acting. I couldn't be getting too invested in this guy. I didn't even know where this was going, because he was showing very little true interest despite the hints I'd been dropping. We'd gone on to talk about his trip to Japan and our favourite parts of doing concerts.

Hanbin: I honestly wish I could go into the crowds more

Hanbin: Feel it would be so fun

Y/N: I agree, but I also know I might not make it out in one piece lol

Y/N: When are you back in Korea?

I close my phone to start picking up and going to bed not expecting a reply anytime soon, but I'm surprised when I see the screen light up with a notification from him. I immediately go back to it before once again putting myself in check.

"Don't be this desperate, you're Lee Y/N for god's sake," I whisper to myself, putting it back down and going to the bathroom to do my nighttime skincare.

I was now in bed, looking at Hanbin's reply.

Hanbin: I bet you would with your fans 😬

Hanbin: They're really wild for you... for good reason 😉

Hanbin: I get back tomorrow then we leave again in a week

Was he finally flirting with me? Had he finally picked up on my subtle flirting? Why now? Why was he this confusing? But more importantly, why was I so head over heels for this guy I'd only really met once...
