Life Goes On
Hannah's POV
Flashback
"I honestly think this way will work, Hannah! You can keep touring and recording after the Grammys in the states and keep your obligations at bay here!"
Sighing dejectedly, I hit my head on my bedpost for the hundredth time before returning my gaze to the person who woke me up with a "brilliant idea."
"I understand that logistically it could work, but you have to understand that it's also a danger leaving the country without easy access to the bond. It's only asking for bad things to happen."
Tongue in cheek, he pauses for a moment before speaking.
"If you all are keeping this arrangement, then I suggest you get used to the idea of 'risk'"
With one final hit to my head for good measure, I heave myself off my bed and grab the shoulders of my confidant.
"I wouldn't even have you nearby, and you're as busy as I am. I cannot risk it. We also need each other just as much as they need me."
"Then you're risking your career just as well! You're up for two Grammys, TWO! Your career is at the highest it's been since you were 16. At least think about it."
Laying my head on his shoulder for comfort, I opened my soul bond for him to read my emotions, spilling the pain and exhaustion I was feeling due to this whole ordeal in a way words can't.
"I know." I hear him whisper back through my thoughts, "I know you're scared, Hannah. It'll be okay."
At least I have Seonghwa; I'll always have Seonghwa.

Present time - 2022
"So, Hannah, your flight leaves for Las Vegas from Seoul at 8 am next Thursday. You'll land and head straight to the hotel, and our team will join up to go over our plans for that next week."
Rolling my eyes at my persistent manager, Eun-woo, over the phone, I give a brief "Yeah, sounds good." Before relieving myself with the press of the end call button.
This is not how I wanted this to go, and I didn't want to go back on tour. I didn't want to go to the Grammys. I knew I'd have to see them there. It doesn't make it easier knowing tonight has been the mark of one month, meaning I'd also have to see them in less than 12 hours. Then I'll have to be alone with one of them. It'll be Yoongi or Hobi. But then again, it's always Yoongi.
I can handle and prepare myself for the monthly meetings, the meetings out of pure obligation for our own, well, lives. But the consistent meetings outside of that through our line of work make it even more unbearable.
Nine months ago, I was swooning thinking of this opportunity to travel and be a part once again of the Grammy award celebration, but now I feel uninspired un--anything.
I've lived this life of "fame" since I was 14. I'm now 27. I'm used to the cameras, the secrets, the lies, the energy, or lack thereof. But now everything is different. I feel so on edge.
Opening my computer to double-check my emails, I finish the work that needs to be done before getting ready to head to dance rehearsal for the Grammys. Dawning my cap and mask, I head to my arranged car.
I'm the type that hates introductions, and I hate talking about myself. Funny, considering I'm "world-famous." While I love my job, I didn't want what came with this, if you asked me.
I'm Hannah Park, Park Hannah; it depends on where I am in the world. I'm known as Korea's "Bi-National Treasure," whatever that means.
I know what it means, I'm Korean, but I'm also American. I'm an "idol" as I am an American singer. Making a mark on two VERY different countries is a lot to put on the shoulders of a 27-year-old, let alone a 14-year-old.
Don't get me wrong! I love my fans, I love singing, and I love to dance. This job got me the comfortability that I have today. I'm thankful for the opportunities I've been given and equally grateful to work for P NATION over many other companies. The rules I had were minimal, and the contracts were extremely fair. I had the life most people could only dream of.
I enjoyed what I did at one point. But then I met my soulmates.
And when I did, my entire world got flipped around and shredded into eight pieces, with absolutely no chance of putting them back together.

A/N:
I explain further in the character explanation that I know that Korea does not allow dual citizenship. But then again, soulmates in the sense of this book are fictional, just like the idea that she's a dual citizen! So, enjoy the concept :)
HEllOOO this is a message from the author after updating a year later.
Yes, the chapters are super short in the beginning, but by book 2 I gained a 3000-word minimum so please stick it out!
