12. You Never Walk Alone

" Mom? Do you know a company called BigHit Entertainment?" I asked my mom because I had no idea.

" BigHit? Never heard of it. What country is it from?" She asked me.

" I don't know I haven't opened the envelope yet. Let me see." I opened up the envelope and read the letter.

Dear Miss Johnson

I couldn't believe what I read, for the first time a company didn't offer me to just sit down at a desk, but actually asked me to do what I studied for. This is so exciting.

" So where's it from?" I heard my mom suddenly ask.

" Ko.... Korea." I could barely say it. My mom suffered and went through a lot of hardship because of my dad. A Korean guy. I felt guilty. How could I even consider going there?

" Woaaa that's amazing." My mom said, my eyes widened as I turned my face towards her.

" What do you mean amazing? This country is cursed. All the people in that country are cursed. If he wasn't there, then, then,"

" Then I wouldn't have you by my side!" My mom cut me off. " How many times do I have to say this to you, honey. I don't blame your dad for what happened. We got unlucky, that's true. But if your dad didn't come along, then I wouldn't have this wonderful daughter that'd hate an entire country for me." She came closer to me and hugged me tightly.

" Mom...." I whispered in her warm embrace. She's the reason I can't leave, she's the reason I won't leave. My mom, my world, my universe. How can I leave her and go do what I like when she's here doing what she must do to keep up with the rest of the world.

" What did the letter say, honey?" She asked me.

" Nothing!" I said while pulling away from her arms and quickly putting the letter in my pocket of my sweater.

" Nothing?" She said with a puzzled face.

" Yeah yeah nothing." I said while trying to avoid her eyes. " Anyways mom I'm so hungry can you make me something please," I asked her to change the subject.

" Oh my, this daughter of mine. The only thing on her mind is food and work." She said while going to my kitchen.

If only she knew.

" Mom why are you going in my kitchen there won't be any food, I was away and before I left I emptied out the fridge." I said to her.

" I went grocery shopping, I figured you'd be too tired to do it yourself when you got back from your trip." She answered.

" Mooooooom." I said while running towards her to give her a back hug and a kiss on the cheek. " Your the best!"

" I know, I know. Now sit down and tell me all about your trip." She said.

While she was cooking I told her all about Mia's wedding, the hotel, the annoying bartender and of course Jin and Taehyung. We laughed and ate the meal she cooked for me together. After dinner, we watched a movie together and I fell asleep on her lap.These little moments are the ones I live for.

When the movie was over miss Johnson, Rachel's mom, lifted Rachel's head slightly and put a pillow under her head. When she left she noticed the letter in Rachel's pocket. She took it and started to read. Her eyes widened. ' this is an amazing opportunity for Rachel.' she thought to herself. ' why won't she take it. ' Miss Johnson took the letter with her to her apartment.

The next day miss Johnson didn't even bother to go upstairs to check on Rachel as she knew Rachel would sleep all day. She had a habit of doing that after trips away from home.

She took the letter and hesitantly put in the numbers on her phone. She hesitated a bit before pressing the button to call. ' Rachel will hate me for this. But if she doesn't take this opportunity, she'll regret it.' and with that determination, she called the company.

" Hello, this is BigHit's secretary speaking how may I help you." A woman spoke over the phone.

Of course, she was speaking Korean, but miss Johnson knew how to speak as well. She learned it even before she was married to Rachel's dad. She was really fascinated by the country and learned it in her teens.

" Ah, yes this is Maddy Johnson speaking. I am Rachel Johnson mom. You send her a letter to hire her at your company." Miss Johnson said.

" Yes, yes. Your daughter is very talented miss. We really hope that she will join our team." The woman said.

" My daughter isn't really available at the moment and so she wanted me to talk to you guys first before accepting the job." Miss Johnson said.

" Yes, I understand completely. We here at BigHit Entertainment train young people to become idols. Our most famous artists are Bangtang Songandan or better knows as BTS. Rachel will be in charge of guiding our band BTS with there tours abroad and translating if necessary. She will always have a hotel room for herself in the same hotel as the boys of course, with no expenses." The woman explained.

" Oh my, that sounds like a dream job even for me. Will she have to move from New York?" Miss Johnson asked.

" Yes miss, if she wants to work with us she'll need to live here. But be assured we will find a place for her. And even for you miss. We took your situation into consideration. We really want Rachel to work with us. So we did a background check and we noticed you two had always lived with each other even separately in the same building. If you want to come to Korea too you can. We can help you find a job as well." The woman said.

Miss Johnson eyes widened in surprise. This company really wants Rachel and is willing to do whatever it takes to get her.

" There is nothing to talk about more then I guess. We will be on the next flight to Seoul." Miss Johnson said.

" That's great miss, can't wait to see you and Rachel. We will keep you posted miss I'll use this number to text you all the information needed." The woman said.

" Yes, that's perfect thank you very much." Miss Johnson said before hanging up the phone.

A relieved sight came out of her mouth. But a sudden worry came to mind.

How will Rachel react?.....

Hiiiiiii
Thanks again for reading Hotel.
I changed the cover, what do you guys think?

I feel like I owe you an explanation for the title of this chapter.
If you guys noticed every title so far is a BTS song.
I chose You Never Walk Alone for this one, because of the relationship between Rachel and her mom. They are close to each other and Rachels will never leave her mom alone hence the title. But it works both ways. Rachel's mom would never leave her as well. I think if BigHit didn't offer her to come along with Rachel she would have gone to Korea by herself.

Anyways thanks for reading, voting and commenting. You guys rock.

Love,

L~💜
