"What did I get myself into?"
"Well you fell in love, that's what."
🍂🍂🍂🍂
Lily and Eun Min decided to have dinner together at a restaurant in Myeongdong. It has been a while since they've bonded. They talked about their jobs and romantic relationships.
"I met this guy through a friend. He is a dance instructor who owns a studio in Mapo-gu", Eun Min excitedly shares.
"Oh wow! Where did you meet him? How?"
"So this common friend invited me to a party last summer. It's been a while since we had fun so I partied so hard until I passed out drunk."
"What?", Lily exclaimed and laughed.
"I know!!!! It's so not me. Anyway, all I can remember was I fell in the pool and somebody actually had to jump in the water too to save me."
"Eomona!!! (Oh my!!!) So he's you're knight in shining armor?"
"No!!" Eun Min detested. "That first guy who jumped in almost drowned himself too so two more guys jumped in to save us both. The one who saved me was Bang Seong Dok." Her eyes twinkled.
"Ooohhhhhhh", Lily teased her friend. "Are you two in a relationship now?"
"Uhm, no. But I already enrolled in his dance class."
"Mwo? (What?) Eun Min-a pabo! (Eun Min is a fool!)" Lily giggled. "So you wanted to get close to him by going to his class."
"Yes. The moment I saw him that night after he resuscitated me, I immediately liked him. I think I saw an angel."
"Oh gosh! You're so in love!"
"Just like you."
Lily raised her eyebrow, took the glass full of soju and drank it straight.
"Woah! Jamkanman (Wait), am I wrong?" Her best friend noticed Lily's unamused reaction.
"Anieyo (no)."
"Then what's with that kind of reaction? Is there something not so good happening?"
"Well..." she paused. She didn't know where to start and what to say. She just feels a bit distant with Hoseok nowadays.
"So???" Eun Min is waiting for her response.
"I don't know. It's hard to explain because I don't really know what's wrong. I feel like it's just me."
"Are you in love with another guy?" Eun Min got worried for her best friend.
"Ani!! (I'm not)." She strongly detested. "But.... what if he is?"
"With another guy?"
Lily looked at her best friend with a dead ass face. Eun Min giggled. "Mianhae. I just want to make you laugh. But seriously, you think he's cheating on you?"
"I don't know."
"What made you say that?"
"These past few days, he keeps on bailing out on our dates. He's not like that before. And then it would take him hours to reply to my messages sometimes."
"Isn't that normal? Uhm, excuse me may I remind you that your fiancé is Jung Hoseok, the Golden Hyung of BTS!"
"Ssshhh!!!!" Lily covered her friend's mouth. "Someone might hear you."
Eun Min whispered, "You really think someone will believe us? They'll think we're just some delulu fangirls here, dreaming of marrying those boys!"
She put her hand down, "You're right", she paused. "What did I get myself into?"
"Well you fell in love, that's what. But honestly, I don't think he can do that. And does he really have the time to cheat? I mean, he's so busy with work and with you, and with entertaining millions of fans who wants to be their girlfriends."
"I don't know. But I have to find out." She opened another bottle of soju.
Eun Min took her glass, "you sound scary but I'm in!"

"Hyung, is that Lily noona?" Taehyung put his ear on Hoseok's phone while he was talking at the balcony.
Hoseok put the phone down for a while, "Ani", and back to his ear. He's not talking loud.
"Oh okay. I thought it's her. I miss her." Tae said and sat on the swing. It's so bright with little lights on it. Lily and the maknaes set it up and they put some throw pillows too.
"Should I invite her here?" Tae asked Hoseok but the latter didn't seem to hear it. "I'll just text her."
04:28 PM 태태: 누나! 보고 싶다 😙
Tae Tae: Noona! I miss you 😙
04:31 PM 리리 누나: 오 태태! 괜찮아? 나도 보고싶다 😊💚
Lily Noona: Oh Tae Tae! How are you? I miss you too
04:33 PM 태태: 괜찮아 누나. 우리 집에 가고 싶어요?
Tae Tae: I'm ok noona. Do you want to come here in our house?
04:39 PM 리리 누나: 너 연습이 안끝났어?
Lily Noona: Are you not practicing?
04:41 PM 태태: 끝났어!
Tae Tae: We're done!
04:43 PM 리리 누나: 알았죠. 나는 일을 마치고 거기에 갈 것이다. 나는 저녁을 요리 할거야.
Lily Noona: Okay. I will go there after work. I will cook dinner.
04:45 PM 태태: Yahoo! 나 는 진 형에게 말하고.
Tae Tae: Yahoo! I will tell Jin hyung.
Taehyung went back inside and excitedly told Jin that Lily will be coming over. Jimin was there too and he heard it. Jin likes it when Lily comes over to cook so he doesn't have to do all the work. Namjoon helps them when he's not busy doing music.
Lily tried to call Hoseok to tell him the same, however, his phone is busy. She tried to take off her mind the thought that Hoseok is busy with another girl.
Ding dong.... ding dong...
Jungkook opened the door and welcomed Lily in. He took the bags she's holding and helped her put them in the kitchen.
"Na wasseo! (I'm here)", she said.
"O wasseo?!" Tae responded.
Namjoon went out of the kitchen, "Jin hyung, she's here. "
"Finally!", Jin exclaimed. "Come on and let's start cooking for these hungry monsters."
Lily giggled. She tried to look around while walking, "Is Hoseok here? His phone is busy I can't contact him."
Tae looked outside discretely.
"Ne! he's here. I saw him earlier. I thought he's talking to you on the phone", Jin said.
"Anieyo. I haven't talked to him the whole day cause he said you'll be practicing."
"Then who made you come here?"
"Tae Tae called me. He said you're done for the day so I came here."
"Oh ok. But he's just there."
They continued preparing foods for all of them. It has been a while since they cooked for themselves. Whenever their schedule isn't packed, they see to it to bond over good food and some drinks after.
Namjoon observed Lily. He knows there's something off. Her usual bright aura isn't there. Her laughs and smiles are not the same as before.
"Neo yeogi isseo! (You're here!)" Hoseok said in surprise when he saw Lily with Jin and Namjoon in the kitchen.
They all looked at him as he walked towards his fiancée. She looked at him and forced a smile. She gave him a peck on the lips and Jin can't help but smile. Lily turned around and the smile on her face immediately turned into worry.
