chapter 7
As Kook and Tajika left the building, Yoongi stepped into a sleek black van, the door closing behind her with a soft thud. Inside, she found Taehyung and Jimin already settled in, Jimin sitting across from Taehyung, looking out the window. The atmosphere inside the van was calm, but Yoongi could sense the familiar playful energy between the two of them.
As soon as Yoongi stepped in, Jimin got up from her seat and playfully slid into Yoongi's lap. Taehyung didn’t bat an eye; he already knew about their relationship and had gotten used to their little displays of affection. Yoongi smirked, her usual stoic expression softening as she placed a hand around Jimin's waist.
Taehyung started, her voice smooth, as she looked out the window.
Kim taehyung
How’s everything going with the movie? Any updates?
Yoongi adjusted herself, settling comfortably as Jimin rested her head against her shoulder.
min yoongi
Actually, I’ve just hired someone for the management manager role.
She glanced at Taehyung through the rearview mirror, giving her a teasing look.
min yoongi
It was kind of a… funny situation.
Jimin raised an eyebrow, half-curious, half-amused.
min yoongi
Well, I was supposed to hire an assistant, but this girl—her name is Kook—showed up by mistake.
min yoongi
But she was so organized, and she handled the chaos of the interview with such calm that I just decided to give her the job. It’ll be interesting.
Taehyung tilted her head slightly, raising an eyebrow at Yoongi’s unexpected choice.
Kim taehyung
Interesting? You know how chaotic your set can get. You really think she can handle it?
Yoongi shrugged nonchalantly.
min yoongi
I’ve got a good feeling about her. We’ll see how she does. She might surprise us.
Jimin nodded, still snuggled comfortably in Yoongi’s lap.
park jimin
She sounds… interesting.
Yoongi smiled, but her attention soon shifted back to the script she had in her hand.
min yoongi
Anyway, this movie is going to be a GL story,
She said, her tone turning serious as she started to flip through the pages.
min yoongi
It's a bit of a departure from what we've done before, but I think it’ll resonate with people.
min yoongi
The script is strong, and the story is raw. We’ll be tackling a lot of themes about self-discovery and relationships.
Taehyung, though paying attention, seemed distracted. Her fingers hovered over her phone, which was resting on her lap. She kept checking the notification from her messaging app—*Bunny the Butterfly*, Kook’s Instagram ID, had sent her a message the night before, but after a brief conversation, Taehyung hadn't received any replies since.
Taehyung’s mind kept wandering back to Kook’s words, the way their chats felt light and genuine. She couldn’t shake the feeling of wanting to know more, but no message had come through from Kook yet. Her thumb hovered over the screen as she refreshed the chat page again.
Still no new message.
She frowned slightly, then shifted her focus back to the conversation between Yoongi and Jimin, but her thoughts were still on the girl she’d chatted with the night before.
Kim taehyung
💭.Why hadn’t she replied?
Jimin interrupted her thoughts, her voice soft but playful.
park jimin
You mentioned the GL script, right? Is there any specific direction you're thinking of for the relationship dynamics? Who's going to play the lead roles?
Yoongi, snapping back to reality, cleared her throat and focused on the script in her hands.
min yoongi
I’m still finalizing the cast. We’ve got a few potentials, but we’re focusing on getting the chemistry right. It needs to feel real, raw, and unfiltered.
Taehyung nodded absently, still glancing at her phone every now and then, the silence between Yoongi and Jimin now blending with the occasional hum of the van’s engine. She refreshed the chat one last time. Nothing.
She sighed, putting her phone down, trying to focus on the conversation again.
Kim taehyung
Sounds like it’s going to be a powerful project,
min yoongi
I’m excited about this one. It’s different, but I feel like it’s what the audience needs right now.
Jimin smiled up at Yoongi, squeezing her hand.
park jimin
I am always excited when you’re excited, baby .
Yoongi smiled softly, pulling Jimin a little closer.
min yoongi
Yeah, well, this movie will be worth it. We’ll create something special.
But Taehyung, though nodding along with the conversation, couldn’t shake the thought of Kook. The way she had messaged her last night, the little connection that seemed to be forming… but now, there was nothing. *What happened?* she wondered.
