SACRIFICE

AERUM POV

I bowed towards my boss as I entered the meeting and sat next to Minho. As our boss started talking, Minho leaned towards me and whispered in my ear.

"Where have you been?" he whispered.

"I'll tell you later." I whispered back.

"We have received intel that Jinwoo has gotten back on the grid." Our boss started. "And as you know, he could put our organization in danger, recalling his past actions and events. For the few of you that don't know who Jinwoo is; he is not a safe person and will do anything in his power to get the FBI organization under his command." he said, going through the slide show.

"So I want you all to inform me with any information regarding Jinwoo and his whereabouts." he finished. We all nodded our head in response and bowed leaving the meeting.

As Minho entered my office, I sat down on my roly chair putting my feet up on my desk as Minho sat down in front of me mimicking my position.

"So what happened?" he asked.

"Well, I followed Mr. Song and Jinwoo to a warehouse and met another person named, Queen B, who is the leader of the Red Velvet sasaengs. And I'm guessing she's relative to either Mr. Song or Jinwoo." I started.

"Uh-huh... Are we going to tell our boss about Jinwoo?" he asked curiously.

"No, because it could blow our cover and I'm not letting that happen." I explained, playing with the tape. "But anyways, I learned that they know about is being bodyguards for Jimin and Seulgi. Plus, Mr. Song now knows about us being FBI agents, but we can't let him know that we know." I said as I threw the tape away.

"And they're planning to form an alliance with Queen Lu, EXO's sasaeng leader, and Queen Kim, BTS's sasaeng leader, to get rid of us first before backstabbing each other and hurting both sides of idols." I finished as he took everything in.

"Was there any problems?"

"Nothing I couldn't handle." I replied remembering the past events earlier.

"So what are we going to do?" he asked curiously, taking his feet off my desk.

"We'll do what we always do." I said, "We'll just act normal and act like we don't know anything until they confront us."

"Okay, sounds good. We'll Imma head home, since we have the rest of the day off. See ya!" he said, giving me a peace sign before leaving. I returned he sign and grabbed my stuff following him out and heading towards my car.

I checked my phone as I felt my phone buzzed in my pockets. I opened the message as I entered the car and wondered why I let people choose their own names on my phone.

The Great & Macho Minho: Hey, we're going to have to attend the MAMA Awards in a few days, since BTS & Red Velvet are attending.

Me: OK, send me the rest information later.

The Great & Macho Minho: OK, I'll come by your place later

Me: Ight, sounds good.

TAEHYUNG POV
"Okay, that's good for today. Don't overwork yourself since you still have to perform the real thing in a few days." Our choreographer said as we all laid on the ground sweaty and tired from the excessive practicing.

"Take care and don't forget to wash up." Our manager said before leaving.

"Yes," we all responded breathlessly.

"I'm so tired!" Jungkook shouted, as he rolled around the floor.

"I'm getting too old for this! Why do we have to have intense choreography?" Suga complained as he got on top of Jungkook and laid on top of him.

"Because, we're BTS. That's why." Jimin responded back as he also got on top of Suga.

We also got up and followed there lead and created a dog pile. With Jungkook in the bottom followed by Suga, Jimin, me, Jin, Namjoon, and Hobi on top. We stayed there quite, not speaking a word until a phone started buzzing against the floor.

"Who's phone is that?" Jin asked looking up towards the phone.

"It ain't mine." Jungkook stated,

"Yeah, my phone is with me. So, it's not me." Namjoon said also.

"I'll go check," Hobi said, getting up towards the phone. "Who's Aerum?" Hobi asked tilting his head.

My head sprunged up at the mention of her name.

"That's mine!" I screamed, trying to push the rest off me.

"Oh! Who's Aerum, Taehyung? Is she your girlfriend?" Hoseok teased while flashing my phone at me.

"Isn't Aerum that girl who's related to bang pd-nim?" Jungkook asked.

"Woah! Taehyung, you have her number! Oh my gosh!" Jin said shocked, while the other members overreacted and started making 'Oh!', 'Ahh!", and 'Woah!' noises.

As we dispersed from the dog pile, Jimin and Jungkook held me back as Hobi started to read what she sent me.

"Hey Taehyung, at what time will your group perform at the MAMA Awards?" Hobi said in a high-pitched voice.

"Yah! Let me go!" I said pushing Jungkook and Jimin away as they laughed.

"How did you even get her number?" Suga asked.

"None of your business." I said grabbing my phone and texting Aerum back.

"Aww, look at him. He's blushing!" Hobi said laughing.

"No I'm not." I said smiling.

"Yah, okay lets leave him alone and order food right now." Namjoon said. We all agreed and ordered the food.

AERUM POV
As I sat and waited for my order of chicken, I stared at my phone debating whether I should text him first or not.

"What am I doing? I am Kim Aerum for crying out loud! I'm not scared of texting any guy. I am a strong independent macho woman! Oh my gosh, what am I saying? I've been spending too much time with Minho." I said talking to myself and taking a sip of coke. I grabbed my phone and started texting Taehyung.

Me: Hey Taehyung, at what time will your group perform at the MAMA Awards?

I clicked the send button and quickly turned my phone off regretting it.

"Calm down Aerum, you got this. It's just a simple text." I whispered to myself. I quickly grabbed my drink and started sipping on it repeatedly.

The waiter came and brought me my chicken with a plate of rice as a side dish. I thanked him and got a refill since I finished my drink from the excessive stress sipping.

As I was about to take a bite from my delicious looking checking my phone buzzed, making me drop it back onto the plate. My heart raced and started to have a mini heart attack from the thought of it being Taehyung.

"Oh my, Aerum stop it! You can't develop feelings for him! This isn't part of the job." I whispered to myself as I checked my phone.

The Sexy Kim Taehyung: We're around the end why?

What should I say back? I can't tell him the true reason.

Me: Um because my sister is a huge fan and she's going to see you perform.

Which is true, so technically I'm not lying.

The Sexy Kim Taehyung: I didn't know you had a sister.

Me: There's a lot you don't know about me.

The Sexy Kim Taehyung: Sadly true. Anyways, what are you doing right now?"

Me: I'm at a chicken restaurant.

The Sexy Kim Taehyung: Oh cool! We're eating chicken too!

I chuckled at his childness and began eating my chicken.

As I left the chicken restaurant Minho called me and told me to head towards Bighit.

"Why? I thought we were off for the day?" I asked dim.

"I thought the same, but I guess they changed their mind."

"Where are you at anyway?" I asked as I drove to Bighit.

"In the shower, so I'm going to be a little late." he said.

"Okay bye."

"Bye," he said before hanging up.
