#4

As soon as she left the company, she went to the clothing store nearby and changed into some common clothes instead of her formal clothes She gave her card to one of her two security and asked him to deliver it to, Zhou before they left today. And she asked the other to look after the boys and she walked away alone, she didn't know where she is walking to, but she knows that she isn't gonna face people. She was updated with everything.

She walked to an empty park and walked until she found a bench to sit feeling empty, her eyes were feeling and she fell asleep on the bench, she was feeling weak, she couldn't possibly utter a word if someone talked to her without sounding broken. And she woke up a few hours later at night, on someone's lap it was none other than namjoon, he was sitting with his Ipad probably doing some work, and in her first sight she tried touching his face to know if it was real and she found it was real, and it caught his attention.

"So, you are finally awake?"

"hmmm"

"So how did you end up sleeping here?"

"idk" she tried her best not to sound broken af

"u know it's ok to cry"

"and I wish not to, got a problem?"

He hugged her "Don't u have too much free time joon? that u follow me?"

"excuse me I'm also here, I just went to buy coffee and here they are having romance"

"huh? Mr.Jung?"

"Just call me hoseok hyeong"

"uh-hu" she quickly got up "I have to leave, thank you to you both for your concern"

"well, not a problem but let us walk you home" Namjoon spoke.

"No need I'm perfectly fine"

"well, it Zhou who contacted me to help you so now we are driving you home"

"whatever" And they drove her home, she found all her staff still there waiting for her. All of them was looking tensed "why are u all so tensed none of us died"

"WELL ITS U were  HAVE YIU BEEN MS.PRESIDENT," ms. mi said yelling

"I'm fine, now all of you can leave, u all need to take rest its night"

"well, we will leave if u have dinner with us president, and also Mr.Kim and Mr.Jung can join"

"you all gonna waste my groceries huh?"

"well, it's better that way" and soon all were at the table eating dinner, she didn't have much of an appetite, so she ate little and soon everyone left and finally she sat alone in her room and went to sleep, hugging her pillow. The next morning half-heartedly she dressed herself up and just tied a ponytail as she is not in a mood to do anything, soon she was waiting in the living room for her employees, she had never been this alone, she had always had one of the three to help her or at least for moral support and then the death of her second mother, everything was going wrong. Her staff soon entered one after another and she was reported that one of the girl group under was supposed to start their first concert tour next month, and she clearly hadn't sought it out. Her migraine was hitting, and she rubbed her temples, and finally came to a decision of letting the girls start, and reminded them to manage the time as they must be back by the time the Golden Disk award, and lincoln soon informed Mi of this and she left, they were all working and she had a few paperwork herself and also there have been a few changes in the construction and more money needs to be paid, she does all by her laptop, by the evening of this busy lifeless day she gets a call from Daniel "where are u president?"

"Why what's the matter?"

"you have promised to have dinner with us when no one was there remember?"

"ah-yes..umm wait where ever you are"  she was tired enough for the day, she asked Khan where were the boys, she was tired but yes she had promised them that every day at least one of them would be with them for dinner as an older friend. And since none of the others were there she should be the one picking them up for dinner, she called the Fei couple and asked them to stay with them until she arrives, and she dismissed the others, after all the employees were also tired and left.

She soon drove herself to the boys, they were standing at an empty bus stop after all it was a late-night, they were looking like lost puppies, she signed at the sight. They recognized her car and came running, she could see the Fei couple smile and bowed before leaving, and also Namjoon was there with Jungkook, "Thanks to you again Namjoon and Mr.Jeon"

"wow!! that's quite fast, you already call him Namjoon"

"well, he asked me to do this in return for his favor" she smiled professionally, she was one.

"Please call me Hyeong or randomly Jungkook it feels so weird"

"it's ok" he looked at her with a pout "fine hyeong, if you want you guys can join us for dinner"

"We gladly will" Namjoon spoke, and she was annoyed, she looked at the kids they looked at her and she hmmed, well they are her sunshine. And soon, she drives to a 24/7 restaurant, it was her country based so food that her boys would love, was available

"if u don't mind, us choosing this restaurant"

"Absolutely not, we had planned many times to come here, but always u know something or the other came up"

"well that's great then" They head inside she sat at the corner chair with Roy beside her and Daniel in front of her. The others had dinner and boys were continuously telling her how their day was and the fun and hard work they did, she just heard everything they spoke, her ear pod got a call and she picked it up, and she was in dilemma as to what she heard, she couldn't believe herself. Everything in her personal life seems falling apart.

She excused herself for going to the restroom, it was empty as expected, it was late after all. Certain emotions were running inside her head, she was feeling numb emotionless, still, not a single tear left her eyes. She soon went back to the table the other boys looked at her in confusion, and worry. She opened her mouth to speak, but nothing came out except air, she felt weak. So she smiled and continues eating just like the others did. She didn't have much of an appetite and soon rather sat playing with her phone and she texted someone "how is she?"

"not good"

"about her dad?"

"He passed away"

"ok u all stay there until everything settles don't hurry things I will do just fine"

"thankyou"

".." and she keeps her phone as she blinks a few times, the boys were still talking and she tries paying attention to them. And soon everyone was done, she just calmly handed her card to the waiter before waiting for further talk. And everyone was at the car again, "you don't mind dropping us do u?", she shook her head.

"Please leave at the Hybe building" Jungkook requests. And soon she drops both the groups that are jungkook and her boys at their place and now only Namjoon was left, she looks at him.

"Can we talk?" she nodded

"then speak something" she looked at him in pure confusion.

"I'm asking u to speak"

"i-i d-don-don't k-know-know what t-to s-speak" she tried her best not to stutter, she looked at him again.

"Can we go to your place?"

"w-wh-why?"

"maybe u need a hug," he said caressing her soft cheeks, as he sits in the passenger seat.

"I wouldn't mind dropping you at your place Namjoon," she told before she drove at his dorm area and dropped him off, before driving away. She got herself a lot of wine, and beer before going back to her place and the night she got drunk, just to wake up with another headache.

Today she didn't have much work to do except to stay updated

"Ms.president"

"yes Mr.Lincoln"

"Ms. the paparazzi have taken pictures of you and the other BTS members together, and are assuming things what would you like to do?"

"Let them speak shit"

"ok ma'am and also a newly debuted solo artist from our company back at the country has been caught at ra*pe case and the company is expected to give a word "

"WHAT? WHERE TF ARE HIS MANAGERS AND ASSISTANTS are u sure he is the one who did it? I mean it isn't anything that he is forced to be caught in as u know?"

"Ma'am the lawyer Mr.Choi had appointed even has the point proven due to DNA testing and it was a brutal one, ma'am about the manager, he was in this himself"

"Why the hell don't I know about this?"

"ma'am Mr.Choi told me not to tell you"

"Call for a press conference"

"yes ma'am and everyone gets prepared, Mr.Khan you may as well now be responsible for the boys as its a crucial time"

"yes, ma'am" soon an urgent press conference was held up,

"Thank you to all of the reporters being here, I'm glad you could make up even on this short notice" and everyone clapped.

"one question at a time" Kumar notified

"So ms.YN what would you like to tell about the ra/pe case that Mr.shu has been in?"

"well I am truly sorry about that and the artist will be banned from the industry and will face the consequences of his actions and I will personally look into it, as I would also like to inform you that in no way the company has supported him in this and the deed has been done behind the back of every one of authority"

"Ms.YN, would you like to say anything in defense ?"

"no, I'm just ashamed of his actions"

"Ms.Y/N what would you say about the pictures taken of you and the other BTS members together?"

"Well as my artists are working with them, and as often I visit my artists it should  common if I make a few friends"

"Ms.Y/N are u sure u all are just friends?"

"And what else do you assume we may be?"

"like a romantic relationship?"

"No, we are not and we are just merry friends "

"Ms where are your most trusted people they don't seem near u as always?"

"Well, they have gone back to the country due to some work"

"ms, we have heard that Ms.Luo has been in an accident is it true?"

"it is a  personal matter, and I'm not to speak of something this vulnerable without the people responsible"

"ms. how do u intent to pay the victim's family?"

"I'm not to pay, as I have no more of a contract with the people responsible"

"Ms are u running away trying to save your money?"

"Nope I just want the people to face consequences instead of me spending my money and the money earned by my other artist "

"Ms.-"

"That's for today thankyou" Ms.mi says before bowing and they leave, it was a broadcast on youtube on many live T.V nationally and internationally. it was finalized that she isn't helping a criminal and she was pretty much cold from her attitude and words and she was popularly known as the 'cold queen'. As soon as she was inside her car, along with Lincoln she got a call from Mr.Fei "Ms.president the artists wish for your audience "

"why?"

"I'm not sure ma'am"

"Lincoln when am I free today?"

"ma'am the afternoon after 3:00 and before 5:30 p.m."

"ok, Fei tells them I will come at 4:00, and where are they supposed to be then?"

"ok ma'am, mam they will be near the Han river for the photoshoot"

"ok " and she cuts the call, her head has been giving her a heck of a problem, and she was suffering, with her condition of severe migraine.

"Ms.president do u need medicines?"

"some pain killers I guess"

"ok, ma'am" and he drove her to a company building where Ms.mi was waiting for her, as some decisions are to be taken.

She took her to the practice room the artist was waiting, and they bowed to her in respect of her superiority.

"What's the problem mi?"

"ma'am actually these artists were to perform for a fashion show in Busan, but the payment will be given after the performance and the budget isn't enough and I'm sorry to say I have not enough money to pay"

"good, then pay from my personal card, we still need the company's money for the golden disk award"

"yes ma'am" and the other asks for a chair to sit, as she sits she asks the artist to perform, she looked at them attentively, she was satisfied but due to her cold outlook she spoke "it's fine, I hope I see more improvement before u leave the next week"

"YEES MAM" the group of boys yelled, and she left. Lincoln was there with the car waiting for her, as being her personal assistant, he gave her a cold coffee and some bread and gave her medicines after that. She was better and left for the person in need of her audience, a new investor, she needs them and they had come to one of the companies Ko was responsible for and she was there, and the investors were interested in the deal and it was signed. She left, she needs some proper sleep for now, yet she took, a red bull drink from the machine nearby, and soon, enough she was with her artist again. As soon as she was in their view, they made a rush to her, she looked pale yet cold. Her aura was as strong as ever.

"Why did u need me? that u had to disturb me?"

"Noona, what has happened did shu really do it?"

"yes"

"Noona u need to help him, he is not like that, I'm sure there is something wrong with the information" Daniel argued.

"No.1 I won't be explaining to you anything for my actions, secondly he and the victim has been tested even by my personal doctors and he is responsible for all his actions"

"But he is our friend we need to help him please" John spoke.

"I have made myself clear with my words"

"But, he is our friend we can't leave him when he is in a problem"

"Albert, I'm not helping a criminal"

"what's the matter, guys?" Taehyung was the one who came up.

"Nothing Mr.Kim, just kids getting wild"

"I'm not a kid I'm an adult"

"I'm sorry for the trouble my boys must be giving you"

"nope actually I'm enjoying working with them, they are so energetic"

"that's great to here boys, now I must take my leave"

"So early?" Namjoon spoke as he came from behind her.

"I'm sorry I'm afraid I can't stay a bit longer"

"are u ok? u look so pale and thin"

"I'm perfectly fine, now as per schedule I'm may run late"

"will u come to pick us up?"

"how about u come back to your home and I will wait there for you?"

"sure" the boys speak before leaving with Taehyung, while Namjoon waited.

"Mr. Kim arent u too free to look at someone like me?"

"I just can't help but look at you" she chuckled, before leaving and it was a sarcastic one.

The building was to be checked up, as the only outer paint and glasses were to be put up. She did check as was satisfied with Kumar's work. Lastly, she went back to her house where she was updated about the latest things going on, and she was also held up for a few more decisions and the day was over, she was driven to the house of the five artists she had and soon she was there standing with Mrs. Fei the lady was helping her cook, she wasn't cooking more like standing there staring at some random directions.

"Ms.president?"

"yes fei"

"Ms. do u need a hug?"

"I don't like skinship" she was lying she just loves holding hands and hugging people.

"ma'am I insist" and so she hugged her, she has no idea how much she needed this, she would have cried if it was one of her friends.

"There are times when things go wrong, and we need to stay strong for others"

"hmm.."

"ma'am I wanted to tell u something"

"go on"

"I'm gonna be a mother"

"REALLY?"

"yes, and you are the first person to know"

"IM SO HA-ahem!!! I mean u should take a rest"

"I will as soon as I get into the fifth month"

"but u shouldn't come to the company everything is a mess now"

"well, even in this mess, I'm happy to help"

"hmm...ca-can I tou-touch ur tummy"

"yes" and she softly touched, she had the tenderness of a woman, after all, she isn't a devil.

Soon the guys were home and started talking as soon as they entered and took bath one after another and sat near the kitchen counter. They ate and washed the dishes before going to bed and she left along with Mrs.Fei she made sure to drop her home and asked her security to leave her alone. She walked down an empty cold lane burning a cigarette, and smoking, she did smoke due to her stress. Again someone just had to disturb her, by walking beside her "Namjoon, arent u too out of work always following me?"

"well I like following you"

"cheesy, tsk,"

"don't be so rude"

"whatever, what can I do for u?"

"what do u mean?"

"you came to me for a reason didn't u?"

"ah-umm yea I just wanted to talk to you and be your friend"

"why out of pity or something?" she smoked.

"nope, how can I pity someone stronger than me? and I just want to be your friend I'm interested to know you"

"I am assured u have a lot of work"

"well a little while out just for peace of mind wouldn't hurt if the work done is better"

"wise words namjoon"

"why do u smoke?"

"I only smoke when I'm too stressed or just I'm zoning out"

"why are u stressed?"

"just personal matters"

"well let's start from the beginning, I'm Kim Namjoon from BTS, 32 years old and I'm a Grammy winner along with my lovely members and my mom's name is-"

"I know about u more than u think, after all, I was an ARMY once"

"what do u mean once?"

"well as u see people lose track that's what happened "

"tell me more then"

"If someday we are close friends I will"

"then tell this man more about u fair maiden"

She giggles, it been a long since someone referred to her as a maiden or a girl in exact words, "I'm Y/N I'm 23 and I own the AERA entertainment, my mom is Alice and my father is Joseph, I'm the only child"

"nice to meet u Y/N"

"Nice to meet you too Namjoon"

"well then let's talk about your family since you already know mine"

"whatever, I have never been much of a student, then I was falling in darkness and soon I found a boy band, the band was my energy, I didn't need to worry a lot about myself I learned how to love myself and the hardships and somehow I ended up here"

"that band was us wasn't it?"

"guess so, and u know what the funny part is? It's that even when I finally meet them and work with them suddenly I don't feel anything like an achievement when everything behind breaks" she walked inside her house and went inside just to stand on the balcony and drink beer, mentally she was frustrated. She had a lot on her mind and she slept with a heavy hard after a final call to her parents asking them for a favor. The favor was simple, they had to let Luo feel home when she wakes up and keep her as their daughter until she is good enough to return.
