When you stepped into Seokjin's penthouse for the first time, you were absolutely flabbergasted. The sheer affluence, the unmerited wealth, and the sheer luxury were beyond anything you had ever seen.You knew about super wealth as you were born in wealth.

The whole area was a resonance of monochrome neutrals, chocolate brows, beige, tan, and grey undertones, giving it a modern yet a very cozy atmosphere. An actual bachelor's pad. There was a beautiful tinted glass feature with two ink fish imprints that separated the lounge from the luxurious dining room, which has 10-seater table.

The floor-to-ceiling windows framed an panoramic view of the Han River below, its waters glimmering under the multicolored lights of the city.

His celebrity aura still radiated as he ushered you inside, greeting your entrance with mock humility, “Welcome to my humble abode, my little Bunny,” he smirked; no one whose home was this massive had any right to call it humble.

You just chuckled as he took your soft hand in his; your eyes widened at his touch and his playful smirk.

He cutely led you around on an idol-guided tour of the immaculate penthouse. The stairs spiralled gracefully to the upper floors; each marble steps a marvel of an intricate design. You were in awe.

You both strolled through the cosy yet opulent living room, which was furnished with smooth leather and velvet fabric sofas scattered throughout, with a tinge of assorted colourful scattered cushions and a state-of-the-art entertainment system, including the most giant TV you had ever seen, so perfect for watching the latest Netflix blockbusters in stunning high definition. Entertainment days must be a blast in this penthouse.

The state-of-the-art kitchen with pure marble counters was a chef's dream, with downlights subtly illuminating the stainless steel appliances from top brands like Sub-Zero, Wolf and a Miele dishwasher.

"Do you like to cook?" he asked, raising an eyebrow with his full lips in a lopsided smirk.

"Er...not very well like you, but I can make killer black noodles, steamed dumplings and sushi, "you replied, flustered, "But this... this is really something else." Your awed eyes were wide.

He gestured to the sleek kitchen area. “See that triple-door fridge? It’s like a spaceship. Keeps my pickled kimchi at the perfect temperature. Love cooking for my members when they come over.”

Before showing you into his home cinema — which boasted plush leather recliners and a surround sound system capable of making any movie feel like an IMAX experience — he stopped in front of a black gleaming grand piano nestled in the corner of the living room.

“And here,” he said, pointing at it melodramatically, “is where I go to unwind; get lost in some classics.” A sleek black Steinway sat surrounded by porcelain-and-marble tiles that glinted soft ambient light across its polished surface: classic elegance against modern luxury.

Throughout the rest of your tour (floors and walls adorned with porcelain and marble tiles that whispered wealth wherever they met your gaze; long velvet curtains perfectly fitted to match; adding an extra layer of sophistication), it became increasingly clear just how high-end everything was — Seokjin must’ve hired some seriously top-notch interior designers.

“This is…” you mumbled eventually, still not quite believing what your eyes were telling you, still trying to process the sheer opulence of it all. Seokjin is not even twenty one yet and he owns such a space. His success must be unmerited.

Seokjin chuckled,and winked,"Wait until you see the rest. Come on..."

Together, you moved on to the well-equipped bar, stocked with the finest designer cocktail mixers, international brands of sodadrinks from soju, champagne,  liquors, and wines, each bottle carefully selected.

Seokjin smiled and opened a cupboard to reveal a well-stocked bar, "If cooking isn't your thing, maybe a drink is?" He asked with a teasing tone, knowing full well that you not eligible to drink.

You just grinned. You smile cause you're still underage and don't even drink 'rice wine'.

When you continued the apartment tour, through the opulent corridors, you noticed the same  porcelain and shiny marble tiles even on walls. The interior balistrudes were tinted glass, giving the whole space a sense of luxury. Which even adorned the walls. You saw his personal gym and his studio/study.

Seokjin took you to the four  wooden doors of the en-suite bedrooms, each magnificently and tastefully decorated with earthy tones and minimalist furniture. It was usually for his parents' or Bangtans'visits.

"And this," he said, opening a shiny double wooden door with a flourish, "is the master bedroom. My private domain. You must be a very lucky girl to enter it. " He smirked down on you.

You just swat his chest playfully.

The room was breathtaking, with a massive panoramic window that offered a stunning view of the Seoul skyline and the Han River. The bed, draped in plush linens, cushions looked incredibly inviting. You wish you could just jump on it. There was a massive TV  in front of his bed with a modern fireplace; his glass walked-in cupboard with sliding doors which showed all his designer clothing. There was even a plush couch in his cupboard area. His bathroom was the epitome of luxury... an oversized twin shower with massage nozzles and a jacuzzi bath.

"Oh my goodness," you breathed, “This is… I can’t even describe. You’re so lucky.”

Glad that you were impressed, Seokjin grinned and offered, “Can I get you a hot drink? I have something special to make for you.”

Reaching out his hand, he led you back into the kitchen.

You sat in Seokjin's pristine kitchen, which was somehow cozy and relaxed despite its luxuriousness. He was bustling around preparing his fancy low-carb hot drink with practiced precision.

You and Seokjin sat in his pristine kitchen, the atmosphere cosy and relaxed despite the luxurious surroundings. He was busy preparing his specialized hot drink, and his movements were precise and practised.

You watched him with curiosity, admiring how effortlessly he moved around the state-of-the-art appliances.Your admiring eyes were dancing over his handsome features. My goodness, your thoughts aced, this is indeed a very beautiful idol.

He was piping hot! Maybe hotter than the drink he makes. His intense eyes and those plump lips. You felt how heat moved to your cheeks. Luckily he was too busy seeing how flustered you were at his attractiveness.

The aroma filled the air, warming you from the inside out. " You are such foodie, hey Seokjin," you softly muttered with a smile playfully etched on your lips,"I watch few segments of your legendary Eatjin shows. You make us really hungry with those shows.Jiwoo introduced me to them. She is a huge ARMY of yours."

He smirk as he glanced sideways to you,a huge grin on his face,"That is so good to hear, I love sharing my foodie passion for good and healthy food with everyone. But it's been on hold lately because of my film schedules, but I do miss it."

You chuckled, then, with an easing tone, "I bet you just miss all the delicious food." Seokjin admit with a small chuckle, "Of cause, that too. There is seriously nothing so satisfying about making delicious food. It's very therapeutic. Making and sharing food are the universal language of love."

He smirk as he handed you a hug mug that consist of the aromatic array of steaming, coconut milk, malt and cocoa. It smelt tantalizing in your nose.
Seokjin smirk,"Here try my newest drink recipe. Specially created for you with the endorsement of Kim Seokjin"

His eyes gleam with glee as he watches your reaction, pouting against the hot mug to try out your first sip.

Your eyes widen at the tropical taste. Your tastebuds loved it,"Omg! I just love it. Wow, it is amazing." After you took a small sip. You were genuinely impressed,"I love the whip cream and the chocolate sprinkles on top. It looks very professional. You must serve it at your restaurant."

Seokjin looked genuinely touched by your compliment," I am glad you like it. I want to let you try it first, but will definitely add it to the hot drinks menu." His eyes sparkle with undefined affection for you.

As you licked some of the cream from your lips, you noticed his gaze linger on your mouth. His breath hitched and body tensed slightly, and the atmosphere between the two of you seemed to sizzle with an unexpressed tension.

Your eyes momentarily locked, and for a second, it seemed as if the world around you faded away. The warmth and intensity in his eyes were undeniable, and you could feel a blush creeping up your cheeks as you bit your lips nervously.

The attraction between you two was a little too intense. Your heart was beating erratically in your chest at the allure of the handsome idol.

Awkwardly, you both looked down at your hot drinks, trying to diffuse the charged atmosphere.

Seokjin inhaled deeply, his voice soft when he spoke again, "You know, I really love spending time with you. Bunny. It's been a while since I felt this comfortable with someone. Do you think we ...we could see each other more frequently?" he asked a little cautious.

His words made your heart flutter, and you couldn't help but smile, "I'd love that," you replied, teasing him lightly, "But only if you promise to cook spicey noodles and kimchi for me before you leave for the USA."

He laughed, the sound rich and warm, "Deal. I'll whip up something special just for you. Here in Jins' kitchen."

You both laughed, the tension easing into a pleasant warmth. The evening had taken an unexpected turn, and as you sat there, sipping your drinks and sharing stories about yourself, getting to know each other better, you started to realise just how much you enjoyed the idols' company. It's still so surreal, sitting there in front of the ARMY's angel and enjoying what most of them are only dreaming of. You are genuinely privileged.

The luxury of his penthouse was impressive, but it was his genuine warmth and humour that truly made the night special. You both forgot about the alleged paparazzi that was following you.

As you took another sipped the hot drink, he watched you with a playful smile, "So, what do you think of my hot recipe?"

"It was amazing, Seokjin, " you said, feeling a bit more at ease, "Thank you.You are a gracious host."

His eyes twinkled with amusement, "You're welcome. You know, Bunny, you have this way of making everything seem so fresh and beautiful. You are an amazing girl."

You blushed, unsure how to respond, " Well, you're pretty amazing yourself."

He smiled gently.

You chatted and teased each other, laughing at your banter. It was easy to forget for a moment that you were in the penthouse of a global superstar. Seokjin's warmth and down-to-earth nature made everything feel so comfortable.

As the evening drew to a close after an hour, Seokjin made a quick call, "Sejin is sending a new bodyguard in training to take you home," he said, "Nobody knows him, and he'll arrive in an unmarked car."

"Wow, you're really taking care of everything," you said, impressed.

He smiled, "Of course. I have a new plan for Sunday, by the way. No pet stuff shopping." He winced.

You raised an eyebrow, "Oh, really now? So you used your petshop to brainstorm for a gift for Yeontan as a smokesscreen...  you just  wanted to see my lovely face again?"

Seokjin laughed and gave you a playful wink,  "Maybe I do. Is that so bad?"

You laughed together, the sound echoing through the penthouse. Soon, the new bodyguard arrived, and Seokjin introduced you to him; he looked surprised at the cute girl in Seokjins ' presence.

He could see how pretty you were. Seokjin quickly opened a cupboard near the entrance and handed you one of his oversized grey hoodies,  "Put this on. It'll help you blend in."

Seokjin waved goodbye after he gave you a light side hug.

"See you on Sunday", he muttered against your ear, You smiled and nodded, thanking him for the evening.

In the underground parking, you and the bodyguard walked together, pretending to be a couple. He was quite lovely. As you reached the red Hyundai i20, he held you tightly around your shoulders, and you giggled loudly, making sure anyone discreetly watching would think you were just an average couple.

As you drove off, you couldn't help but smile, thinking about the evening. Despite the wealth and luxury, it was Seokjin's kindness and humour that made the night truly special.

.......

When Yuqi left, Seokjin found himself in solitude in his penthouse, a rare moment. He called Sejin and took a deep breath and felt a mix of gratefulness and a little fear.

“Sejin, it’s Jin,” Seokjin said immediately after he answered the call. “I just wanted to say thank you for tonight. Everything went smoothly.”

“No worries Jin,” Sejin replied sounding tired but heartfelt. “But wait, what is this girl to you? Who is she really?”

“We are just friends hyung,” Seokjin told him. “It’s not like that at all. We are actually just friends hyung.” To make sure there were no misunderstandings he emphasized the word ‘friends.’

Sejin sighed still unconvinced of this fact “Look, Jin, I need more information just in case something comes out and the gossip columns start to have a field day about your little rendezvous tonight. You know how these things go”

Seokjin hesitated as he collected his thoughts “Her name is Song Yuqi; she is almost 18 years old from Beijing and has been training at JYP for nearly three years now. She is close to debuting that’s all I can say for now.”

“I get it” Sejin was silent for some seconds as he digested the news, “Fine but don’t tell Bang PD until it turns into something other than being just…this 'friendship' okay.”

Seokjin nodded although Sejin could not see him saying," I won't do that Hyung please keep it between us only."

His words were earnest as he pleaded with his voice "I want to be able to come forward when the time comes."

There was laughter from Sejun with amazement creeping into his voice, ‘You know Jin after all these years of singlehood it’s surprising seeing you so smitten over someone else. You even texted her again to hang out. This is a whole new Jin happening here, tell me.”

Seokjin chuckled, "I just want to have a girl as a friend without the paparazzi getting involved. Can’t I have that?”

There was another sigh from Sejun this time it was deeper and serious,“Okay, but you need to keep us in the loop whenever you are seen with her in public like we do with J-Hope or Namjoon’s girlfriends. It’s for everyone’s safety and managing possible aftermath.”

“Copy that” Seokjin said sincerely, “I’ll let you know”

Sejin paused for some time before asking “Do you…do you like her Jin?”

His body warmed at the thought so he replied “It’s promising hyung but I don’t want to rush things…make mistakes.”

“Then be careful,” Sejin ordered him sounding serious. “You know fans are always looking for any dating scandals  around BTS. Furthermore leading up to your Hollywood debut international fans will be very interested in your personal life. All your career growth could go down the drain if you make one wrong move.”

“I understand.” Seokjin told him with a firm voice “I will be careful.”

“That is good,” said Sejun, “Take care Jin and remember we can help guide you through all of this."

“Thanks hyung,” he said gratefully

Upon ending the call Seokjin felt both relieved and anxious because he was doing something new, exciting and dangerous all at once. He appreciated advice and support that came from Sejin; thus he had to watch out.

But then thinking about Yuqi's infectious laugh along with the moments they shared made him feel alive again giving him hope and anticipation for tomorrow.

.......

Saturday

The sun streamed through the windows, casting a warm glow on the breakfast table.

The kitchen was filled with the delicious aroma of pancakes and bacon as Kazuha, Sakura, Chaewon, Jiwoo, Soomin, Wonyoung, and Yeji gathered and sat around the table, still buzzing with excitement from the night before chatting animatedly. They animatedly discussed the movie they had watched the night before.

The rest of the girls were still sleeping in, taking advantage of the rare late morning.

"I just loved Mei's panda form!" Wonyoung said, her eyes sparkling, "She was so fluffy and cute! And the way she tried to control her emotions was just hilarious."

Yeji giggling exclaimed, her eyes gleaming, "She was so awkward and adorable as a giant red panda! It reminded me of how I feel every morning before I've had my coffee."

"Right?!" Kuzuha chimed in, giggling,
"It reminded me of that time I tried to hide my new hairstyle from my mom. It did not go well."

The group burst into laughter, reminiscing about their own hilarious misadventures.

"Yeah, and the friendship dynamics were spot on," Chaewon added.

"Her friends were so supportive and funny. It's like they were a mini version of us!"Jiwoo giggled.

"Totally," Soomin agreed, nodding, "Especially when they helped her control the panda transformation. True squad goals!"

Sakura giggled, "And her mom! Oh my gosh, how she freaked out over everything was so over the top. It was like she had a radar for trouble."

"Absolutely," Chaewon chuckled, "And her friends were the best. Remember when they helped her cover up during that school concert? True friendship goals! We should make matching friendship bracelets like they did to remember each other."

They all nod in agreement.

"I loved it when they did that boy band dance. It reminded me of the time we tried to learn BTS choreography. What's the song again? Oh 'Blood, Sweat and Tears'...BTS Jimin made my heart flutter.  Remember how we ended up in a pile on the floor?" Jiwoo burst out laughing.

The girls burst into fits of laughter, recalling their less-than-graceful dance practice in the lounge one evening when they had a girls' night in.

Soomin sipped her orange juice, her eyes twinkling with excitement, "And the animation! The colours were so vibrant and lively. It felt like the movie was bursting with energy."

At that moment, you walked in, your honeyblonde hair still in rollers and a towel draped over your shoulders and plopped down at the table, "Hey, girls! What's all the excitement about?"

The kitchen/ dining area was alive with the sounds of clinking plates and lively chatter of the girls.

Yeji looked up, smirking,"Well, look who finally decided to grace us with her presence. Nice rollers. Very retro."

You plopped down at the table, reaching for a pancake. "Hey, good hair takes time. I was going for the 'just rolled out of bed' look. So, what did I miss?" biting a piece of the fluffy deliciousness.

Soomin leaned in, eyes twinkling, "We watched 'Turning Red' last night. It was amazing! You missed out big time. We came in at 11 PM...you were fast asleep."

"Sounds like fun," you said, grabbing a piece of honey toast next, "While you guys were having a blast, I was sneaking up to the roof to play with my boyfriend ,Juno. And guess what? Ms. Choi found me there. I ended up folding laundry and brought it back to the dorm."

Sakura's eyes widened, "No way! Ms. Choi caught you? What did she say? You know she's allergic to dog hair."

"She was surprised, but it turned out pretty well; when she saw me up there, she told me to wash my hands, take off the laundry from the line and come fold it for her,"  you replied, smirking.

You just grinned by yourself, thinking how luck was on your side. Seokjins manager brought you home by 8:00 pm. You sneaked into your room, took off Seokjin's designer hoodie and hid it in your empty luggage bags. Then you were ready to sneak out but got caught by Ms Choi; she was in her room calling out. So you told her you'll be on the rooftop playing a little with Juno.

The girls doesn't need to know that she didn't catch you up there, but you did fold the laundry out of your own will and bring it down. She was too grateful for your help.

If the girls know that you have spent almost two hours in the presence of one of the most famous idols, they'll flip, become too curious or jealous, or even kill you.

Yesterday, you decided that every time you see Jin, you'll blow dry your hair straight. All the girls know you with wavy and curly hair. So that will be your disguise. Last night, you washed your hair and placed it in soft rollers.

You check your phone, and there are no social media meltdowns. You were so relieved.

Before you went to bed last night after watching a C-drama series on Netflix, you got a call from Jin.

Flashback

You sank into bed, feeling the exhaustion of the day catch up to you at last. Your phone buzzed from the bedside rack, and 'Hot Trickster' blinked on the screen. Smiling, you answered.

"Hey, Jin," you greeted him softly.

"Hey there," came Jin's warm voice through the line, instantly soothing you, "Just wanted to say goodnight and check in on how you're doing."

"I'm alright. How about yourself?"

"I'm good. Just winding down. I also wanted to let you know that there haven't been any updates from last night; nobody seemed to notice anything fishy about our little stunt. We'll find out more tomorrow morning when we wake up; if there aren't any news reports or Twitter meltdowns by then... we did it!"

You breathed a sigh of relief, "That's great to hear. I was worried."

"No need," reassured Jin, "Sejin and I have everything under control; told him we're just friends and he understands... even laughed when I said that Juno probably has a better chance with you than I do."

You giggled at that one, "Juno is pretty charming."

"That he is- but not as much as my Bunny," teased Jin playfully before adding more seriously, "No but really though everything's fine- don't worry about a thing."

"Thanks Jinny. I appreciate that."

"Anytime. Now, you gotta get some rest alright? Recharge those batteries. See ya Sunday."

"Okay, will do- Night Jinny."

"Goodnight Bunny. Sweet dreams."

As you hung up, you felt a wave of warmth and security pass over you. There was something so calming about Jin's words; they always had been able to put your mind at ease. Laying back against your pillows, the weight of worry lifted from your chest as thoughts of friendship and support danced through your mind.

With a content sigh, you drifted off to sleep.

.....
A/n Yuqi is hanging out with an idol.

1. Do you think the two of them are starting to fall for each other?

2. Will Seokjin let himself like Yuqi?

3. Do you think their Sunday hang out time is becoming riskier?

4. What do you think of Sejin?
