Following the exciting filming day and karaoke, my members unwillingly bid farewell to the other girls as we return home for some rejuvenating sleep. While dreaming, I was in a beautiful field alongside my friends. We were picking roses for some reason, I don't know why, but all of a sudden, everything else turned white, and four large roses stood out to me. As I walked closer and put my hand by each one, their thorns all of a sudden vanished, and they perked up, as if competing for my attention. Is this symbolizing something? Like what?! As soon as I touched one rose, the other three wilted, and small thorns began to grow. Is this what will happen if I chose a guy out of the four? Finally, I picked one of the roses up and placed it in my basket. I made sure I still gave some attention to the other roses, and slowly, gradually, the thorns disappeared, but the image of the other flowers fainted a bit... Nevertheless, when I called for the flowers to come back, they all fully reappeared, their colors as bright as when I first saw them...They each rest their leaves gently on my hand as if wishing me the best, and saying that they will always be here for me...sheesh this is some sad foreshadowing...

I jolted awake, cold beads of sweat running down my neck...sheesh what sort of drama cliche is this?! Sigh...what should I do.....

Just then, I hear a scream from the living room, and rush towards the sound, shoe in hand ready to kill any type of bug.....but instead I find my members glued to the tv screen. Ha-Eun quickly beckons me over, and what I see on the tv is terrifying... "_____-ah! Come look at the television! Dispatch caught that moment yesterday with you and Jimin sunbae?! They also caught Taehyung with Emma! Uh oh... what should we do?! This is legit not the time for a scandal! Our subunit debut is in a month! This could impact our debut!"

"Ahh, eonnie I'm sorry! I didn't see dispatch anywhere at that time! Sigh... dispatch is getting sneakier and sneakier....;("

"The news anchors are here debating whether it was for filming, just a sign of friendship, or a new couple...jeez. I wonder if the other guys are seeing this...." says Emma, her face overflowing with anxiety.

As if right on cue, my phone starts blowing up. Both the girl group chat and the drama cast group chat have notifications...I'll choose the drama cast first. probably best to clear things up 

[DaWang]: hey guys are you watching the news debate rn?!

[JiminJams]: yep....sorry about that ____, I didn't want dispatch to catch us

[Koala's Tree]: Yeah guys, Jimin is apologizing in advance in case anything happens. Same for me, I'm sorry Emma. We really didn't mean anything guys. They way dispatch cut the picture, it was as if it was only the four of us, but all of BTS was there too, as well as other female idols, but they solely took pics of us four

[Rose's Monsta]: I'm sure it's nothing Jimin. Don't worry.

[BadBoyChan]: You better not hurt my ____ in any way Jimin. I know we are bros in all, but when it comes to ____, we are competitors 

[YYxKitten]: Since when was she yours Chanyeol? Anyways, everyone die down a bit. It'll be fine as long as we don't acknowledge it and make things worse

[AceOfClubs]: Sigh...looking at what the anchors are saying right now, they luckily aren't pushing for anything.

[Koala's Tree]: I'm sorry Emma....I checked social media just now, Instagram, facebook, and twitter.....both fanbases are mostly calm. There are only a select few that are complaining and going nuts.

[PinkChaeYoung]: Sheesh, sorry girls. Jisoo and Lisa were watching the news and saw this. They told me about this. Jimin I thought you said you had lost the paparazzi?

[JiminJams]: I really thought I did! when we took a detour and came to the karaoke venue, there were no cars or motorcycles following us, the fans already got their autographs, etc.

[DaWang]: Oh yikes. It seems dispatch has leveled up bro

[YYxKitten]: Hyung, what do we do? How about we follow the plan I suggested? I guess if we just remain chill, things won't seem weird, and might even get better?

[BadBoyChan]: Huh, not a bad idea fellow competitor. I'll take an L and give you a point for that idea. +1

[AceOfClubs]: Our girl group chat is so busy rn. All the other girls saw it, and are giving us some support

[AceOfSpades]: tbh, it isn't all that big of a deal. I mean, so far there have only been a few hate comments. Luckily, both fanbases are relatively chill rn

[AceOfClubs]: yyeeeeaaaahhhhhh noo.....check our Instagram and fan cafe

[Koala's Tree]: If it's anything bad we apologize and will make an official post addressing this and clearing things up

[AceOfSpades]: Yeah.....it's kinda bad on our side. Here, I'll do the same thing...wait....will that make it more awkward?

[BadBoyChan]: you know what, I saw confidently go for it. Use all the charisma and confidence from the stage

[YYxKitten]: hm.....good idea as well. +1

[Rose's Monsta]: Like this, they may know of our cast's little love pentagon

[JiminJams]: whelp...

[MochiYerin]: the news tho...

[Ajusshi-Ya-Se]: things are being misunderstood

[PinkChaeYoung]: They are just friends, for now at least. I mean, if ____ chooses Jimin from the love pentagon that is

[Cutie-yJoy]: as sunbaes, we understand how dispatch can be. Apparently, the Seulmin ship hasn't sunk yet

[DancingBear]: haha well Jimin and I are just acquaintances. We are nice to each other due to manners and common courtesy. 

[AceOfSpades]: Oh eonnie if you like him he's yours

[DancingBear]: sheesh no more teasing. We are all worried about you. How's social media looking?

[WujuYeonjung]: I just looked on their fan cafe...it's about half half. Some people are chill with it, others are bashing them

[SomiSwag]: Poor Emma and ____ eonnie...

[AceOfHearts]: this may negatively impact our subunit debut....

[MochiYerin]: OH~!! When is your subunit debut? Which members?

[AceOfSpades]: Well we are set to debut as a subunit, Ha-Eun and I, around a month later. Around that time, the hate should have died down

[WujuYeonjung]: True that...

[Ajusshi-Ya-Se]: Well I'm here for you no matter what. Anyways, this won't be such a big deal. I don't know why we must fuss so much....sheesh all we want is some privacy. Plus, romance isn't all that bad

[SomiSwag]: lol Sejeong eonnie you say that because of School 2017 right? kekeke

[AceOfSpades]: Yes ok finally change of topic. Speaking of School 2017, that kiss on the cheek tho~! Congrats Sejeong lol

[MochiYerin]: Your character Ra Eunho is so cute!

[Cutie-yJoy]: Agreed. That raining scene tho

[Ajusshi-Ya-Se]: haha yeah. I tried my best to act well. Chungha said she supported me. AWWW MY WIFE SUPPORTS ME

[WujuYeonjung]: Sheesh. You outsiders might not have witnessed it first hand, but Chungha and Sejeong are inseparable. They are like an elderly couple

[SomiSwag]: OHHH AGE ROAST!

[DancingBear]: kekeke

[Ajusshi-Ya-Se]: Hey I'm still young you know 0///0

[SomiSwag]: ...bish where

[Ajusshi-Ya-Se]: JEON SOMI U BETTER WATCH YOUR BACK

[AceOfClubs]: LOL Maknae on top~!

[WujuYeonjung]: Sigh...you wouldn't know how true that is....

[AceOfSpades]: Time to leave for filming.... byeeeeee~! Byu~! Saranghae!

[AceOfHearts]: Since when was this tiger cub so cute.....she was worried just a few seconds ago

[AceOfSpades]: It's the power of friendship eonnie

Filming officially began, all of us got into character despite the rumors of both couples. Amazingly, we kept our focus and did well. The episode focused more this time on just normal life. We all went to Seoul Forest and filmed there. News of us filming there quickly spread through all of our fandoms, so by the time we had gotten 10 minutes into filming, security had to put up temporary fences and barriers. Almost all of the fans were very supportive of us filming, some even chanted out which couples they supported during breaks. While I had the time, I spoke to some of the fans, asked them about their day, how they like this experimental fan vote based drama, etc.

Eventually, press and dispatch came, but we continued filming, trying not to focus on that. I could almost sense them taking still shots of us. Seeing the cameras, I decided to show off a little, tumbling, nunchucks, etc. it felt great to see the funs cheer in amazement and awe. While we ate our lunch, they asked us questions about the drama and the couples so far. They brought up the dispatch pictures, with the reporter asking if it was anything serious. Taehyung answered calmly, giving an answer that I never thought he would say...

"Well sir, I must say that I indeed like Emma. After getting to know her and filming with her, she has this nice, friendly charm that I sort of fell for. I hope that Army will support me, because I realize that Army truly wants me to be happy, so please support this relationship. Thank you."

Emma and I just sat there wide eyed, as Taehyung wraps an arm around Emma and ruffles her hair. I can already see some Armys in the crowd being split. Some of them are happy and are cheering in support, to which Taehyung smiles brightly and bows to them. Others are either a bit unsure of how to react, while some sasaengs are freaking out, causing security to remove them.

The reporter now turns to Jimin and I, asking the same question, as if expecting the same response. Before I can even open my mouth to speak and explain, Jimin answers first.

"The picture that dispatch got of ___ and I was just a chance meeting. You see, my whole group was there that day, as well as ____-shi's idol friends. We just ran into each other, talked for a bit, and shared a hug. I would just like to clarify that we are just friends, so Army please don't misunderstand, I like ___-shi as a friend and fellow cast member. Thank you."

"Oh alright. Hopefully, you weren't lying there Jimin-shi, I mean, she's right here. would you like to say anything ____-shi?" asked the reporter.

"I would agree with Jimin sunbae on that. That day, my parents had arrived, and I hadn't seen them for a long time, so that is the reason you see tears, not because of a breakup or that I was hurt. To me, Jimin sunbae is just a nice sunbae that I have befriended and am working on this current film with. That being said, I sincerely hope that this won't impact the drama and ratings too much. I will continue to work hard and stay focused. Thank you."

"Such an eloquent speaker! Alright, hopefully, this clears up some of the fuss around this topic. Dispatch will still have their eyes focused on the members of this drama though viewers! Look forward to more interviews and maybe even a sudden date with the cast for fans! Signing out!"

As soon as the reporters and press left, the cast had a group huddle.

"Wow Taehyung! I wasn't expecting you to be that brave! Way to go bro!" whispered Jackson

"Kekeke, Emma I bet you weren't expecting that right~? huhuhu congrats!" said Rose.

"Rose, should we announce our relationship too?" asked Shownu with a smiling face

"haha maybe a bit too early for that Shownu, but later on, sure!" Rose's face was full of delight

"So hey I guess that after what Jimin said, he's backing off of our ____?" Chanyeol gave a glance toward Jimin, teasing him and ready to pounce into action as if to steal my heart.

"Hey I just said the truth! Well, partially the truth. I still really like ____, so there's no way I"m backing out!" Jimin's eyes were filled with pure determination as he looked at me.

"Um guys....the fans are still here...and we have filming to do..." I didn't know what to say and was too embarrassed to address the guys straight on, so those words just slipped out of my mouth.
