***2neBang room***

"I just got off the phone with Sajangnim, he said he'll take care of the media. This is going to stay in this building." Minzy told Bom.

"Great, at least we've got 1 thing less to worry about." She sounded relieved but she feels far from it. 

"I'm sure everything will be alright, unnie. We need to trust them." Before Winner, iKon, AkMu and Blackpink debuted, Minzy was the baby of the company. However, this girl has shown maturity beyond the finest of them. 

"I know Mingkki, I know. It's just so nerve wracking waiting like this."

"Even if Jiyong oppa gets through tonight, Dara unnie will know what to do. She knows him most." Minzy said, still trying to reassure Bom. The latter has a hard time coping with stressful situations, though she's getting better at it.

***Dara and BTS' room***

Dara let out a sigh before opening the door.

She tapped RM, Jin & Suga then said, "Guys, it's okay. We're just going to talk. Can you wait inside for me?" She smiled at them.

The three guys were caught off guard. It's obvious they didn't want to go inside. Jin, being the oldest, replied, " RM, Suga, please go inside. I'll wait here."

Dara was surprised. She rarely sees this side of Jin because he chooses not to show it often as well. She was still thinking what to do when they heard Jiyong say something.

He held Suga who wanted so badly to introduce his fist to Jiyong's face. "Jin, it's okay. He's not going to hurt me." "unlike before" Dara wanted to say the last line but settled to assure him instead. He saw the confidence in Dara's eyes and dragged Suga inside the room with him with RM following behind them.

"Let's go, Jiyong." Dara said, while walking along the lobby. She wants to talk to him privately in case they run into other celebrities.

Jiyong followed her. Youngbae was about to follow them as well when Top stopped him. "Let's give them time to talk and just wait here. Dara will know what to do."

Jiyong closed the door behind him. He has waited for a long time for this moment. He has a lot on his mind. He wanted to tell her a lot of things. "This is it. Everything will be back to normal. The way it should have been and will be."  When he turned around to face Dara, he was faced with something he dreaded. Alongside the longing for this time to come was the fear that he would see the expression on her face that he's seeing now. Even before speaking, he has a feeling that he has already lost.

"You didn't have to make a scene, you know. We're both adul
