Min Yoongi POV,
"Ok cut !!", shouted the Director announcing the completion of filming this time
"Kamsahamnida, thank you for your hardwork", we said together while bowing towards the film crew
We are at a house in Yongsan, filming Bangtan Attic to celebrate BTS's anniversary in the next few days. Today's filming is quite fun in my opinion, we reminisce a lot about our childhood through the questions asked by the staff.
"Yorobun, I have something to say, please sit down for a moment," Tae asked us
"Wae?", Asked Jin, who was already standing and was about to leave the shooting location
"Just a moment hyung, please ...", replied Tae with a mysterious smile
"What's wrong Taehyung~aah, palli (hurry) ... my parents are waiting for me", said Jhope impatiently but he still didn't move from where he sat
"Come on, listen to Tae first ..." I said, pulling JK down to sit back down
"I want to give this to you, an anniversary's present", said Tae while giving each of us a small dark purple box
"What is this?", Asked Jimin curiously
"Waah Taehyung~aah you prepared this for us? Daebak ya!", Said Jhope laughing happily
"Ye. Open it ... I hope you guys like the gift", said Tae smiling cheerfully
Then we began to open the boxes in front of us one by one.
"Woaahh! Bracelet? Wow, daebak!", Said RM while showing a knitting bracelet made of blue and white satin rope in his hand
"Wow! Mine is dark purple!", Screamed Jungkook happily, immediately wearing the bracelet
"This is a friendship bracelet, I ordered it especially for you", said Tae while showing a green bracelet on his wrist
"Gomawo. This is great," said Jimin, hugging Tae
I smiled and looked at the black bracelet in front of me. This bracelet is so well made, I can tell by the knitting, as if it was custom made by hand, I thought.
"Did you make it yourself?", I asked as I put the bracelet on my left wrist
"Ani. Actually I asked someone for help. She is very good at making accessories. I'm very lucky she wanted to help me", said Tae smiling
"Anyway, Is this a bracelet made by a famous designer?", Asked Jin looking at him
"Ani. But I think in the next few years she will definitely become a famous designer," Tae replied with sparkling eyes
"Ah, seriously. Quickly tell me who made it, I'm curious ...", said Jin quickly
"Actually, I asked Han Sofia to make this bracelet. We designed it together and then she made this bracelet one by one with her hands," said Tae in awe
"Jinjja?", Asked Jhope surprised
"Ye. I asked her to keep this a secret from you guys, I was afraid you would find out because Jimin and Suga hyung repeatedly asked me what I was doing with Sofia", said Tae excitedly
"Aaah, so you and Sofia are talking about this gift, it's no wonder you seem to spend a lot of time together," said Jimin, laughing out loud knowing the real reason
"I think you have a relationship behind us, I'm very nervous every time I see you together", said RM looking relieved
"Ani, ani hyung", said Tae laughed looking at us
Then they expressed their anxiety the same as RM felt, while Tae just laughed at that.
"I want to thank Sofia noona for the bracelet ...", said JK while turning his head here and there looking for Sofia's presence among the staff
"Sofia's off today," I answered
"Oh ....", muttered the other members
I sighed, it turned out that Sofia said was true, they don't have any relationship. I was always suspicious of them without knowing the real reason. I snorted, though it's all over now. Even knowing this can't change anything, I thought.
After we thanked Tae, one by one the members left the set. Jhope and Jin went to meet their family. RM, JK and Jimin are going to the office to finish their work. Meanwhile, Tae will go out to dinner with his friends. And I ... I'll go home and rest.
"Hyung, you're still here ...", Asked Tae approached me
"Yeah, And you?", I asked looking at him
"I'm waiting for the car", answered Tae
"Oh, arasso. Will you give gifts to your friends too?", I asked when I saw a paperbag of a famous jewelry brand in his hand
"Ani. I will give this to Sofia as my thanks to her", said Tae happily
"What is it? A ring or bracelet?", I asked without taking my eyes off the blue paperbag in his hand
"Why do you want to know so much, hyung?", Asked Tae, chuckling
"Ani, just curious", I replied chuckled too. "Umm Taehyung~aah, I'm sorry I thought you had an affair with her," I said regretfully
"Gwaenchana hyung", he replied with a smile. "Anyway, I heard from Jimin that you broke up with Soyun noona?", He asked
"Oh, about that ... umm actually we never dated. It was a misunderstanding between us", I replied nervously
"Huh? Misunderstand?", He asked confused
"Ye. Ah, it's hard to explain ...", I replied while scratching the back of my head
"Oh. Gwaenchana ...", he muttered. "All right, I'll go now, hyung. See you tomorrow", he said
"Ye. Be careful, see you tomorrow", I replied waving at him
I sighed and decided to go home. My mind is filled with various things right now, about my divorce plans with Sofia, my worry for my parents and Sofia's grandmother if they find out about this and the last is about the rumors circulating among staff regarding my relationship with Park Soyun.
I know, I started it all, therefore I must immediately take action to curb the news.

Flash back,
Last day of concert in Brazil,
All the members have returned to the hotel to rest, only Sejin and I are still here. I look at my watch, it's been 10 minutes, I'm going to see Soyun now, I thought.
Then I left the waiting room and walked slowly towards the dining room, the place where I would meet Soyun. I nodded my head to several staff who passed me at the entrance to the dining room.
I was standing frozen in front of the entrance when I saw Sofia chatting with Soyun. Shit! Why is she always there wherever I am ....
"Soyun~aah!", I called
The two women then turned their heads towards me. There was a very contradictory reaction from them. Soyun stood up and greeted me cheerfully, while the smile on Sofia's face immediately disappeared and she lowered her face when she saw me walking towards her.
"Am I disturbing you?", I asked when I arrived in front of Soyun, staring at them alternately
"Ani. We just greeted each other. Uh, oenni I'll go now, good night. Excuse me, Suga ssi," Sofia said quickly as she lifted a tray full of coffee and snacks in front of her
"Ye", I replied softly, taking my eyes off her
I sighed when I saw her walk hastily leaving the two of us.
"Oppa, sit down. What do you want to talk about?", Asked Soyun cheerfully
"Umm, actually I have something to say", I said when we had sat across from each other
Gosh! Why am I being hesitant at this time?, I swore to myself.
"Ye ...", replied Soyun curiously
"Uh, I ... I, actually I want to apologize", I stammered as I lowered my face
"Huh? I don't understand ..", said Soyun confused
"I, I made a mistake, Soyun~aah. I was telling the members that I, uh, I mean ... that we, uh, we are dating", I stammered while continuing to rub my nape nervously
"Aaah, that's why Taehyung ssi and Jimin ssi congratulated me, it's all because of this ...", said Soyun, raising her eyebrows
"Mianhae, I, I didn't think right earlier. I, I said it because ... because someone, uh, I mean ...", I said even more nervous
"Someone? Did you say it on purpose to make someone jealous?", Asked Soyun doubtfully
"Huh? .... ye", I replied softly while lowering my face, embarrassed to admit my stupidity
"Hahaha ... so that's how it is. Aigooo ...", said Soyun laughing
"Eh, you are not angry with me?", I asked, confused
"Of course I'm angry. I thought you said it because you liked me haha ... I was wrong though. Aigoo, so you're in love with someone, oppa? Is he a member?", Asked Soyun again
"Huh?", I replied confused. "Oh, ani aniya ... not one of them ...", I answered with an awkward smile after knowing Soyun's question.
"Oh! Mianhae ...", said Soyun covering her mouth with one hand. "Gwaenchana oppa. I'm fine with that. It's just that, I'm afraid this news will spread, especially since my team really suspects us that we have a relationship", said Soyun seriously
"Ye. I will straighten this out to my friends. I was careless and guilty for saying things that shouldn't be and carrying yourself around. I'm sorry once again", I said while bowing 45 degrees to her
"Gwaenchana, oppa. Hopefully this misunderstanding will end soon. Be honest with your feelings, so things like this will not happen again", said Soyun in a friendly manner
"Ye. Kamsahamnida", I replied nodding my head
"All right, I don't want our meeting to be fuel for the rumors you said earlier, so ... I'll go now. Good night, oppa", said Soyun with a friendly smile before she left me
I sighed, how could I act stupid like this, my lie had hurt many people, my friends, Soyun and maybe Sofia too. I have to get this straight tomorrow with my friends, I don't want this lie to drag on, I thought.
Then I walked back to the waiting room and back to the hotel with Sejin.

Currently, UN Village,
"I'm home ... Sofia? Are you home?", I called when entering our house
No answer ... I turned on all the lights on the first floor and walked towards the kitchen.
"Looks like she's not home yet ..." I muttered as I opened the wine cooler
She said that she went to visit her campus today. But somehow she hasn't come back until now.
I took a bottle of red wine and a glass and headed for the living room. I'll spend my evening drinking, I thought.
One glass, two glasses .... I turn on the television in front of me but my mind is full of other things. Should I call her? Why isn't she home yet?, I thought anxiously.
I poured the wine into my glass again .... Three glasses, four glasses ... I felt my body and mind a little light, even I could sing along when a song I like is playing on television.
"Neoui nun ko ib nal manjideon ne songil jageun sontopkkaji daaa ~ ...
"Eyes, nose, lips, touch you use to touch me to your fingertips ...)
Yeojeonhi neol neukkhil su itjiman~
(I can still feel you~)"*
I sing with all my heart, pouring out all the emotions I feel. I drank and sang for hours until my voice was hoarse.
* piip
There was the sound of the front door opening.
"Sobi? Is that you?", I shouted
"Ye, I thought you weren't going home ...", said Sofia, looking at me surprised
"Sobi, my wife Sobi ... sit down, come on sit down ... where are you from? What took you so long?", I said sulking
"What's wrong?", she asked alertly
"Ani. Nothing, I just want to chat with you", I said, smiling softly at her
"Are you drunk?", She asked, staring at the wine bottle on the table and sitting on the sofa even though it wasn't right beside me
"Ani", I replied, shaking my head firmly. "Do you want to drink too?", I asked, pouring wine into my own glass
"Ani", she replied, still looking at me closely
"Did you just meet Tae?", I asked when I saw the blue paperbag in her hand
"Ye", she replied
I let out a sigh, and smiled at her.
"Tae has given us the bracelet", I said while showing the black bracelet on my left wrist
"Ye, he has told me", she replied staring at the bracelet in my hand
"I like it. Gomawo", I said, showing her my gummy smile
"Yeobo, how much have you drunk?", She asked as she lifted the wine bottle on the table
"Just a little", I replied as I drank the wine from my glass
"You almost finished a bottle of wine by yourself ... Stop, that's enough!", She e said in surprise as she kept the bottle of wine out of my reach
"Wae? I'm not drunk, Sobi ... give it to me", I said trying to grab the bottle from her hand
"Ani. That's enough. You smell of alcohol, yeobo", she said, shaking her head
"Jinjja?" I asked, chuckling
"That's enough, I'll take you to your room", she said as she got up from her seat
"I don't want to ... I still want to drink", I whined
"Ani. Come on wake up", she replied taking the glass from my hand
"Andwe (no/don't)! Andweee ...", I whined, refusing to get up from my seat
"Gosh! grown up ...", Sofia said as she pulled my hands together
"I don't want to! I'm not drunk, I still want to drink", I begged her
"No, that's enough", then she led me to the stairs
"I'm fine! I can walk, I'm not drunk, Sobi", I chuckled as I dodged her help
She glared at me.
"Jinjja, Sobi~aah, my alcohol tolerance is quite high, I can finish 4 bottles of soju without getting drunk. Wine is just a small thing to me", I said arrogantly
"Okay, try walking alone then", she said, inviting me to go up the stairs alone
"Aish, you are ... ", I said frowning, then I ruffled her hair with my hand
"Ah, stop!", She said irritably as she smoothed her hair
"Kekekekekeke ....", I chuckled
Then I climbed the stairs slowly, I'm not drunk, just a little dizzy, so I can still climb the stairs even without her help.
"See? I can do it ...", I said when I reached the second floor
Sofia didn't say anything, she just walked over to me and pulled my hand into the master bedroom.
"Rest, tomorrow you have a practice for Muster, right?", She said, asking me to get into bed
"Aniyaa, Sobi ... it's still too early to sleep. I still want to do something else", I replied sullenly
"Go to sleep yeobo, or you will feel sick tomorrow ...", she said, covering my body with a blanket
"Jankanman (wait a minute), where are you going? I can't sleep yet, please accompany me for a moment," I said as I pulled her hand when she was leaving me
She stared at me intently for a few moments, then let go of my grip and sat beside me on the bed.
"I'll stay with you until you fall asleep", she said without looking at me
"Gomawo", I said, then I lay down on the bed while continuing to stare at her for a moment
"Sobi, mianhae ... sorry for everything ...", I said softly while touching the back of her hand with my index finger
She turned her face towards me, said nothing. I got up to a sitting position so that our positions were facing each other.
"You already know the reason why I always spend time with Tae, So don't ever accuse me of having an affair," she said softly
"Even though I might like other men, I won't do it behind my husband's back. I respect you, Yeobo, you should know that," she said again
"Mianhae ...", I said lowering my face
"So please, finish our marriage first before you continue your relationship with your lover," she said softly as she lowered her head
"Huh? Lover? I don't have a lover", I said
"Oh, come on, do you think I didn't know about your relationship with Park Soyun Oenni? ...", she said irritably
"Huh? Aaaaahh ... ani aniya. She's not my girlfriend, I said that just to make you jealous ... ", I chuckled
"What ??", she said surprised
"Why did you and Taehyung hide about the birthday gifts?! I thought that you were dating!! That's why I also said that I was also dating Soyun",I said irritated
"What?! ...", said Sofia. "What did you do that for, huh? Why would you lie like that?", She asked irritably
"I did it because I ... I ... uh because I like you!", I replied stammered
Sofia gaped, startled by my sudden confession. Never mind, I'll say it all now, I thought.
"Nega joah yo (I like you). Don't ask the reason, because I don't even know why I like you ... again", I said hoarsely
She frowned still not saying anything.
"When we were kids, I used to like you a lot, Sobi. But then you left ... you don't know how devastated I felt at that time", I snorted. "For years I tried to forget you, and after I did that, you and your grandmother came with uncle Han's will. Then ... then things got complicated like this ...", I said scratching my ears endlessly
"You're drunk ...", Sofia said irritably
"Aniya ... I'm not drunk, jinjja", I whined
She bit her lower lip, deep in thought.
"Do we really have to part? Because I really don't want to be apart from you," I said softly as I looked at her
"We can't be together, yeobo ...", she said
"Wae? Why can't we? I like you, I'll try to be a good husband for you ...", I said sincerely
Sofia lowered her face.
"Can't we try it again, Sobi? Can you open your heart to me? Jinjja??", I said almost in a whisper
She lifted her face and looked at me with teary eyes.
"You're drunk, Yeobo. Tomorrow you'll definitely won't remember what you were talking about right now," she said
"Ani. I know what I'm talking about right now, Sofia, and I will remember it tomorrow, or a week later, or even a year later ...", I said while tilting my head, looking closer at her
"I ... I can't think right now, yeobo. I ...", she replied haltingly as she twisted the edge of the blanket on my lap
"You don't have to think then ... just feel it ...", I whispered
Then I brushed my lips against hers gently. She was surprised and turned her face back a little. We stared at each other for a while ... before I finally closed the distance between us with another gentle kiss.
This time she didn't move at all. My fingers gently stroked her cheeks while my other hand held her waist tightly. I could smell the orange fragrance from her skin. Her lips tasted sweet like a warm latte on a sunny morning, it felt so good and made me want to taste it again and again.
When Sofia kissed me back, I felt like hundreds of fireworks were exploding on every inch of my body. I didn't know that a kiss could give such an extraordinary sensation. I deepened my kiss, held her tighter. I gently stroked her neck with my thumb, feeling her pulse beat rapidly.
We were gasping for breath, our kisses turned wilder. It felt like a wild animal had taken over me. Then I let go of Sofia's lips for a moment, I opened my eyes and saw her face flushed in my caresses, her lips were wet and swollen from my kiss and her eyes were closed with breath still wheezing.
I smiled at her, I put my forehead against hers, and she opened her eyes slowly.
"Can you feel it?", I whispered
Sofia swallowed hard.
"Joah yo", I whispered and I kissed her lips once again and smiled
I won't let her go. I will keep our marriage, I will make her change her mind and like me, I promised myself.
I don't really remember what we did the rest of our night, because I fell asleep feeling comfortable around her. It was great to smell the sweet orange fragrance from her body while I was sleeping.
The next day I woke up alone, my head was heavy and sore and my stomach felt uncomfortable. I drank too much last night, I thought.
I went downstairs and some foods on the dining table. I sat in front of it and smile, there was a bowl of kongnamul guk (bean sprouts soup), warm rice and a small plate of kimchi.
I took out a piece of paper from under the spoon, and read it,
"I made hangover soup for you, eat it, so you can feel better. Sofia".
I smiled and tried the bean sprouts soup, "mmmh mashigetta (delicious)", I muttered happily
I turned on my cell phone and dialed Sofia's number.
"Yeobosseyo? (Hello?)", I said
"Uh, Sobi. Thank you for the food. Ye ... I'm eating it right now", I said with a shy smile
"Ye, I'm leaving at 9. Are you on campus?", I asked
"Arasso ... what time are you going home?", I asked nervously
"Oh, arasso. See you tomorrow then ... yeah, take care of yourself", I said before finally hanging up my phone
I smiled broadly while staring at the food in front of me. I think today will be fun, I thought. I remember what happened last night vividly, of course. Usually even though I'm drunk I never forget the actions I did and words I said.
And what happened last night is still very clear in my mind. Sofia didn't say much last night, but I hope she can feel my sincerity for her. I hope she will give us a chance ...
