M I N A

I was out with some of my members doing some shopping. We didn't get back until the evening.

When we got back, I looked at my phone notifications and I had a bunch of texts from Jimin. 

Jimin: Minari jagiya

Jimin: um, so something happened

Jimin: my ceo knows about us now

Jimin: JK said that our ceo is going to make us announce our relationship

Jimin: has your boss mentioned anything? I was sure that they had to get both sides of the party to do that

Jimin: I'm sorry I wouldn't have said anything if he wasn't suspecting anything

Jimin: Oh and something else happened too

Jimin: I know you're working with Seungwan-ssi for the dance collab but he called me while ago

Jimin: he asked me for your number

Jimin: but I uh,

Jimin: I didn't give it to him

After reading all of the messages, I had to let that sink in.

Mina: woah woah woah

Mina: So you told your ceo that we were dating

Mina: they're gonna force us to announce it?

Jimin: At least I think so, that's what happened with Jungkook and Sana

Mina: and what was that about Seungwan?

Jimin: oh umm

Mina: he called you and asked you for my number?

Jimin: yeah, pretty much

Mina: and you didn't give it to him

Jimin: did you want me to?

Mina: well, no, not really

Mina: so what did you say to him?

Jimin: I wasn't mean about it

Jimin: but I guess I was being a bit protective

Jimin: but all I said was I didn't have your number

Jimin: I was just confused on why he didn't just ask you for it

Jimin: anyways

Jimin: what are we going to do about announcing

Mina: do you want to do it?

Jimin: Well things were nice when it was quiet

Jimin: but if we have no other choice, I guess I wouldn't mind

Mina: agree

Jimin: you'll probably hear from your company soon

Mina: sigh...alright

Mina: we're gonna go out for dinner

Mina: I'll text you before I go to sleep

Jimin: okay love

Mina: Love you oppa

Jimin: bye Minari, love you too

I wasn't too worried about announcing our relationship, I'm just worried about how all the fans will react. I know a lot of fans will support us, but I know it goes the same the other way around too.

We'll get hate. There's always someone out there that disagrees. But knowing both of fandoms, most people will stand with us.

But announcing another relationship so soon? They only announced Jungkook and Sana dating about a week ago. Isn't it too soon? And can they really announce it without us being okay with it? I decided to talk to Sana-unnie about it.

"Is that really what happened?" I ask her.

She nods, "Unfortunately, yes."

I sigh.

"Sorry, Mina, but let's be real, we all knew it would happen eventually." She says.

"I know..."

"You'll be okay. It'll pass and then it'll be like nothing happened."

I hope Sana's right.

We got back to the dorms and my manager told me to check my phone. I had a message from our CEO.

*****: Come to the agency asap. We need to talk

Ah, great. Here we go.

I show up to the agency and walk into our CEO's office. He was sitting at his desk.

"Mina-ssi." He motions me to take a seat.

"Y-yes, sir." I quickly bow and then sit down.

"I'm guessing you know why you're here right now." He says.

I nod reluctantly.

"Now, you're not in any kind of trouble, but we just needed to tell you that we will let the public know about your relationship."

"Okay." I say, somewhat disappointed.

"And from now on, whenever you go out on your own, you will need to notify a manager. And if you're going to a crowded location, you need to bring at least one of our security personnel with you, understood?"

"Yes, sir."

"You are dismissed."

I trudge back to the dorms. I'm guessing that Jimin's company probably gave him the same lecture.

I was going to give Jimin a call, but he called me first.

"Oppaya?"

"Minari..."

"Is something wrong?"

"They told you, didn't they?"

I assumed he was talking about what I was just told at the agency.

"Yeah. They did."

He sighs, "I'm at my place right now. Do you wanna come over tonight? I'm sure there's probably a lot going on in your head right now."

"Yeah, but from now on, I have to tell one of my managers whenever I leave."

"Oh, right. But it's not like they won't let you go, right?"

"I don't know, they didn't say anything about that. I don't see why they wouldn't let me. I'm a grown woman, and they aren't my parents."

"You go, babe." He chuckles.

"Alright, I'll be there soon."

If our companies decide on announcing our relationship today, I am not looking forward to tomorrow.
