Until You | Kim Seokjin ✔️

Chapter 20

Yoona's POV

The call from Jin had surprised me. I couldn't focus for the remaining part of the meeting. I drummed my fingers impatiently, waiting for the meeting to get over.

I thought back to the call I made last night. I was so shocked that I hadn't even realized what I had done until I heard his voice at the other end.

I had decided to do some research on the artist for whom we were designing the campaign, to avoid embarrassing myself in front of the client.

As I read the article on Wikipedia, I found out that they were a seven-member group that had debuted when I was overseas, which explained why I hadn't heard of them. As I scrolled down the article, my eyes fell upon a photo and I almost sprayed coffee all over my laptop.

"NO.WAY."

I quickly scrolled down and realized I wasn't seeing things and that was actually Jin, in the photos. I still hadn't processed it when I realized that I had unconsciously called him.

"Why didn't you tell me? How did this even happen? I still can't believe it! This doesn't make sense!!" I yelled into the phone, still not believing what I was seeing.

Eh? Did he just cut the call?! I was going to call him back but then I realized how late it was and he was probably sleeping.

But I needed to talk to someone! I couldn't even wake up Jihee because she was resting.

I couldn't stop pacing around my room muttering to myself like some crazy person. It looked like I was having an early set on of a midlife crisis.

What happened to his dream of being an actor? He went through all that trouble to pursue it, what changed? I was just so confused and I needed answers! Aaarrgghh! I don't think I was this jittery for my exams.

I figured that the internet was the only option left and I fell down the black hole that was Bangtan Sonyeondan.

I waited for Jin at the café that he had suggested. The café apparently was owned by his friend and he would make sure that we could meet without being seen.

It felt weird meeting him like this. I started to see how different his life was now that he was an idol. Having to meet in secluded corners of cafés, away from prying eyes. It was all very disillusioning.

I felt a hand ruffling my hair and turned to a smiling Jin. "You need to stop doing that!"

"I just miss seeing the nest!" He shrugged as he sat opposite me.

"In my defense, I had just climbed a mountain, I couldn't exactly have shampoo-commercial-worthy flowing hair." I glared at him.

"I am not complaining, the nest was cute! Can we order first, then you can continue to glare at me. I am starving!" He said flipping through the menu.

We placed our orders. I was relieved that it wasn't going to be too awkward being with him. He somehow managed to put me at ease without even trying.

"I don't even remember answering your call last night! I was completely out of it. What did you want to talk about? I vaguely remember you shouting."

"Well you see I was doing some research for a new client and what I found out left me questioning life itself!" I exaggerated.

"Oh! What was it?" Jin asked, sipping his coffee.

"Well, my new client is Big Hit, well Bangtan Sonyeondan to be more precise."

"Really? Oh yeah! You were at the agency for a meeting yesterday. I forgot about that. So what did you find out that shook your very being?" He teased.

"That you were in it!!" I exclaimed.

He just blinked at me, as if not comprehending what I had said.

"Well, obviously! If you look up my group or agency, I would be mentioned." He said slowly, still wondering what I meant.

"But I didn't know it was your group or agency!"

"Yoona, you need to explain because I am clearly not understanding why you are looking at me like I that."

I took a deep breath, " Mr. Kim Seokjin, what I am trying to say is.. I didn't know that you are in a freaking K-pop group called BTS, let alone my new client!"

"Wha-t? You didn't know about BTS? I get that we weren't all that famous in the beginning, but we are doing pretty okay now! Under which rock have you been living?!"

Not exactly the response I had expected. How is that even important!

"That is what you are concerned about? Me not knowing about your group despite your popularity?!" I asked in disbelief. He still isn't getting it!

"Obviously! We are awesome! How could you have not heard of us?!"

"Arrgghh! Jinja! I am going to hit you! I am trying to say that I didn't know that you were a KPOP idol! Weren't you supposed to pursue acting? How did you end up becoming a singer? That is what shocked me, not the discovery of your group!!"

"Wait, you didn't know I was an idol?" He looked shocked.

Finally! Someone give this man a prize.

"Yes. Hence the call in the middle of the night."

"You didn't know, so you couldn't have...." Jin mumbled with his eyes wide open and staring at me.

"Couldn't have what?" I asked.

His eyes looked sad, almost...regretful?
