Going public about your relationship with BTS (Hyung Line)
Warnings: None
Fluff, just fluff xD
Jin or Seokjin
From the first time he had told you that he loved you, Kim Seokjin had known that you were it for him and the realization brought him more fear than happiness. As a part of the biggest band in not only his country but the world, he was scared of dragging you into a mess that even he could not anticipate the extent of. Even though you were aware of what it meat to date him, he had laid it all out in front you, saying that it was your choice. You had looked at him earnestly, asking if it was even a choice as you picked him - over and over again for the next six years.
You both had decided that it was for the best if everything was kept a secret for the sake of your security but when Jin found himself walking into jewelry shops for a ring, he wanted to share it with the fans who had stood by him through everything, they were family and deserved to know.
If it was just about him, he would have picked up the phone and posted it on Weverse but he wanted to be very diligent about this. So, the day you woke up with a stunning stone on your ring finger, you also welcomed your personal bodyguard after the official statement from HYBE that had followed your fiancé's video announcement on Weverse, carefully shot to make sure your private details were not made public. The response from ARMY was overwhelmingly positive as they did their best to keep your details private, drowning out any leaks.
“Looks like we had nothing to be scared of”, he said, proud of his fans.
Suga or Yoongi
“D3 is out, let’s discuss”
He typed in the title of his live and just before he switched it on, he glanced at you who was quietly perched on the sofa in the farthest end of the sofa, headphones prepared, a sketching pad in one hand and another signaling that you will not be speaking now with a finger on your lips.
Chuckling at that, he turned his attention back towards the monitor, now pressing the button that immediately brought him millions of viewers and even more comments. D3 had been released a few days back and as he had expected, AMRYs had a lot of theories. Especially regarding the difference in its emotions from the previous releases, especially curious about the last track, “Grounded”.
Slowly breaking down each track, when Yoongi finally reached “Grounded”, he played a snippet of it, pushing himself back on the revolving chair, a smile decorating his lips involuntarily as he glanced at you, sketching away with a concentrated look on your delicate features, the music in your headphones keeping you in your own bubble.
Pulling himself out of his thoughts, he paused the song, addressing ARMY once again;
“This is the song that was strategically placed at the end of the mixtape because it explains everything and answers everything. I have always used my tracks to be honest with you all no matter how dark it was and everyone appreciated the dark topics. But when I sat down to write D3, I could not come up with a single such thought”, he laughed, “I could not be mad or sad, I wanted to write poetry like Namjoon, can you believe it everyone? I even went up to Y/N and said what have you done, you have made me a sappy romantic”.
Yoongi chuckled again, throwing his chair back again, continuing talking about you as you now stared at him blankly. You had stopped the music a while back because you could not focus and had heard everything he said. This was the first time he had even mentioned he was dating someone yet alone your name and the way your boyfriend sat talking away while your phone started buzzing off the hook, you wondered if he even realized the chaos he had caused.
Yoongi turned his ringing phone to silent as he focused on the comments pouring in, still continuing to talk about Grounded. It was never a big deal for him that he or any other person in his industry was dating or whatever. He had always been against treating artists as objects and knew that he would go public on his own accord whether it was approved by the company or not.
“The day I came back from meeting her family, I felt the most normal like I was not this untouchable being that had to be worshipped and protected all the time. Her mother had cooked my favourite meal and her father had taken me on a tour of his winery and after so long I felt like I could be just Min Yoongi and still deserve love. That day I sat down and wrote Grounded and did not leave the studio till it was done in its entirety.”
Not addressing the revelation he had just made, you watched your boyfriend end the vlive after saying goodbye and thank you to his fans. As he finally looked towards you, still sitting in a daze, he walked to wear you were sitting, throwing himself beside you and nuzzling his face in your sweater like a puppy.
“Do you know what you just did?”
“Yep, crashed Twitter. Must be a record”.
J-Hope or Hobi or Hoseok
“Aren’t these the cutest”, Hobi said as he showed you the couple jackets he had gotten custom made from Louis Vuitton for when you both would leave for MAMA with your separate groups.
“Babe, now this is not even a hint but a bright torch right in their eyes”, you contradicted.
Hobi and you had started dating a year back and he had been very enthusiastic to announce it to his fans but your company was quick to refuse. But you both were not about to back down as Hobi took it as an opportunity to be the cliche celebrity couple. He argued that it was to give hints to both fandoms but you knew that he really enjoyed shopping for couple items, whether they be matching bracelets and watches or full blown outfits. He would even make sure to align social media posts with yours.
Everyone was quick to catch on but like always, without proper proof, there were a bunch of opposite views.
“But isn’t that the point?”, Hobi argued as he placed the jackets on the back of the chair.
“The point is to make the fans identify everything for themselves so that my company doesn’t fire me”, you calmly reasoned with your boyfriend who was now pouting.
Still pouting he spoke in his endearing child like voice, “What was the point of waiting for your dating ban to be lifted to ask you out if this is what was going to happen”.
This statement made you laugh loudly, immediately placing yourself in your boyfriend’s lap as you held his face between your hands, “Mr Jung Hoseok, waited to ask me out?”.
Blushing now, he still tried to keep his composure as he said, “Of course. I knew that I would want to tell the entire world that you were mine”.
You felt like your heart would explode as you pulled him in for a kiss, soft and sweet only breaking it to try the jacket he had bought.
“J-Hope of BTS and Y/N of SARAN, the hottest new couple in town?”
“Custom LV jackets make a bigger statement than expected”
“J-Hope and Y/N dating”
“Y/N, we need to go through your contract after this”, the director of your company said sternly as he scrolled through the response against his confirmation statement that was released officially by the label.
“Of course, and let’s also discuss how to tell your girlfriend about the other girlfriend?”, you watched the eyes of the director go wild before he managed to control himself and reached a common ground.
“All okay?”, Hobi questioned as soon as you slipped into his car that had waited for you in the parking, ready to walk into the meeting himself. “Never been better”.
RM or Namjoon
Namjoon was the least trusting towards the media when it came to your security. Since the moment he had started dating you, he would make sure to take extreme measures just to keep you safe and out of sight. Even though you had been associated with BTS and HYBE way before Namjoon and you even had feelings for each other, he would avoid showing any kind of affection until you two were safe behind the closed doors of RKive or the dorm so going public was a discussion that was never even on the table.
“Doesn’t it worry you?”, your mother had once asked.
“It does not. To say it, yes it was Joon’s decision but I understand where he is coming from and I personally prefer it this way. Especially after seeing the consequences that other couples in this industry face. Not to mention, I am not prepared to be hunted down by the media. Who cares if people know or don’t, he has never disrespected me or the integrity of our relationship and that is all I want”.
However, no matter how hard you both tried to protect the bubble around your lives, it was fragile and sooner or later it would pop and the protection that Namjoon had enclosed you in, would be lost.
And that day came when a contracted hire learned about you two and decided to sell the information to the highest bidder.
Namjoon was shook, he was a man of plans and rules and this was something that had hit him out of the blue. He did not know how to handle the situation and the reactive strategies that formed in his mind had their disadvantages.
Noticing his state, you held your hand and made sure to look him in the eye so he could know that you meant every word as you suggested, “Lie if it is easier. Do not confirm and make a story about it. I do not mind. Protect yourself and the group first. I am fine either way”.
Even though he was conflicted about the situation, Namjoon was sure of what he said next, “It is not about the group, Y/N. It never was. I want you to be safe. But I also do not want to disrespect you by lying. So many times during fan meets, concerts and live shows, I wanted to blurt out that I have someone in my life I dearly love so if this is how it comes out, so be it. I will make sure that you are safe, and so will the rest of the members.”
Later that night, you sat beside him as he finished writing an explanation and apology lettered to ARMY after he had requested the company to let him handle things on his own.
“Are you okay?”, you asked, shifting closer as you watched him let out a breath.
“Yes, I trust my fans. I am just sorry that they got to know this way”.
“I am sure that they will understand, they love you”.
And you were right as the next day you both witnessed several ARMY projects online and offline making sure that RM knew that he was supported.
