The ringing of your phone disturbs your crying, dragging you back to the fact that it's Tuesday morning.

And work is this afternoon!

"Please don't be him! Please don't be Jungkook!" You whisper to yourself over and over like a mantra before daring to take a look at the screen.

Thankfully it's not.

It's Beom.

"Oh god! Why is he ringing? Does he know? He can't know?" You're questioning your empty apartment like you might find an answer within its walls.

"Hello?" You pick the phone up after wiping the tears quickly off your cheeks, not that he'd be able to see you, but you felt ridiculous.

"Hey Y/N is it okay to talk?"

"Yes of course, is everything okay Beom?"

You're waiting for the inevitable, waiting for him to ask about Jungkook; maybe someone saw you pick him up the other day or they saw you take him home last night and they're raising suspicions.

"Kind of, well, I have a family emergency I'm afraid and I'm sure it's all going to be okay but I have to go home for a couple of days. Me and Sung Jin talked it out and we decided you have to take control of the guys until the performance next Monday"

You swallow and then nearly choke on air.

"Pardon?"

"Y/N! You'll be great, the guys love you, we've seen them around you, you fit in so well, it's nice to them so relaxed around you, we've both been waiting to find them an assistant like this!"

"Thank you, but..." you stutter.

"No but's ... say you'll help please, just, all you have to do is show guidance, make sure the dance practice and stuff goes as planned... Sung Jin said he only needs you to finish some paperwork this afternoon and then you can be their relief manager" you hear Beom give a slight giggle.

"I don't really have a choice then do I" you try to say with a giggle of your own.

"Nope"

"Beom, are your family okay?" You ask immediately thinking you hadn't even given a thought about his problem, you very own problems blinding your thoughts.

"Yes, thank you, I just need to help out my parents for a few days but I'm sure everything is fine... are you okay Y/N you're voice sounds a little, off?"

Oh god what do you say? No.. I mean yes, but I've been crying like a silly girl for hours...

"I'm okay thank you, I'm just feeling a little, I don't know, under the weather... nothing a coffee or two won't sort out I'm sure."

"Oh good thank you so much for helping me out, just one last favour?"

"Hum?"

"Please could you get to work today for 12pm instead of 1pm just to make sure you finish the little bit of paperwork before the guys have dance practice at 4pm"

You take a deep breath, "yes, yes sure... now go, your family need you, stop worrying about work, it'll be fine"

"Thank you" and with that he's gone.

You stand shaking your head at yourself; your face looks horrendous, puffy eyes and blotchy cheeks.

You can't put too much make up on or it'll look like you're trying to cover something up, however, not enough make up and you'll just look horrible.

Make up complete and you realised you can't even hide puffy eyes really, so the lack of no eye liner will have to do. Quickly grabbing a bite, opting for a slice of toast, hardly fulfilling after nothing since last night and it's already nearly lunch but you can't find the energy to bother.

Walking through the reception of the building, you don't know why you've come in the main entrance way, maybe it's just after all the emotions of the last few hours you crave a little, 'normality' walking past your old reception desk, not particularly missing it but noting how different your life already is.

Just before you make it to the elevator door, you hear a giggle, turning and seeing none other than Jinsoo wandering the same way.

"Y/N oh my god, I miss you, how are you?" She bounds up to you and you quickly plaster a smile on your face.

"Hi, Jinsoo I miss you, I'm okay are you"

"You sure you're okay? You look a little tired" her concern for you only makes you want to break down more but you don't.

"I'm a little tired but nothing to worry for, I'm good."

"Hey..." she starts excitedly, "... are you free this weekend? Saturday night? You look like you could do with a girly night in... food, chatting, movie? What you say?"

Her smile makes you giggle, "yes I'm free, so shall I pencil you in my diary?" You say throwing her a smile.

"Yes it's a date! See you then I have to dash, need to get this sign in paperwork to the front desk, love you Y/N see you Saturday!"

You watch as Jinsoo dashes across the reception and you wait for the elevator feeling a little better than you did before.

Maybe you did just miss some old comforts?

Stepping out of the elevator on your floor, you quickly glance around, checking there's no one immediately within sight, maybe you could make it to your office and slam the door shut before anyone speaks to you.

Maybe not.

"Y/N?"

You sigh and turn around, "hey Jimin..."

You see him do a once over you with his eyes and then look back at your face, "Are you okay?"

What is this, are you going to have a million questions before today is over, can't a girl look tired and it be normal?!

"Yeah, I'm fine... what's up?"

He falls into step with you as you keep walking towards your office, hoping he'll break off to somewhere else before you make it to the door.

"Nothing, I just wanted to say hi and... are you sure you're alright?"

He follows you into your office and watches as you throw your bag down on your desk and then turn around with a sigh.

"Yes thank you I'm... I just feel a bit under the weather, nothing to worry about Jimin I'm fine okay..."

He gives you a tiny smile, "if you're sure, hey, I'll get a coffee sent to you, yeah?"

Why do they all care so much, it melts your heart.

"Thank you" you smile gently.
