The Show Must Go On

14

"good morning!" 

I was greeted by jungkook's enthusiastic smile as soon as I woke up. I was a bit surprise because the idea of him here in house, sleeping in my room has not yet sank in.

Instead of greeting him back, I just rolled my eyes and folded my blanket properly. I went inside my bathroom to brush my teeth and wash  my face. That's when I realized that he saw my bare face and I didn't care even a bit. Wow. Am I that comfortable with him now? 

"you must be bored now, jungkook?" mom asked him while we're having our breakfast. "Eunbi, you should go around here with jungkook. You'll go home tomorrow, it's not okay to be here all day." she suggested. 

I was about roll my eyes because of her idea when I realized we're in front of our food. It's disrespectful. 

I came here to rest, not to stroll around with him! 

" It's okay ma'am, maybe sinb wants to take a rest since we will be back to work tomorrow." he answered mom. 

Mom gazed at me, accusing me with something. 

"so you'll just stay inside your room all day?" mom didn't stop asking so dad looked at her. 

"It's their business, let them. They're idols who barely sleep so let them rest." Dad opposed mom's idea and I can't help but smile at him. 

"there's always a next time." jungkook commented that me me stop. 

Next time? I don't think there's a next time since we will be ending this contract. 

I wonder if we will stay as friends, or remain civil after that contract. I wonder what will happen to my feelings? For me, it would be better if we will be distant to each other after the contract, to forget. 

There are questions running inside my head but I decided to shake it off and clean my room instead. He helped me and he's the one moving heavy objects like boxes inside my room. 

"why do you have these boxes?" he asked while wiping off his sweat on his forehead. 

I shrugged. I can't remember why do I have these boxes. Maybe my unused clothes and various things. 

After getting the cutter, I opened the box to fill our curiosity. This box is full of frames and pictures and bears. I remember them, these are my things when I was still a kid. I found a bear with an unattached eye. He kneel beside me and took the pictures and look at them one by one. 

"you must be really close, huh?" he said while staring at the pictures. It's a picture of moonbin, my brother and me. 

"yeah, I met him when we moved here, we have the same dance class. We became closer when we worked in the same modeling agency." I explained and he looked at me. 

"I didn't ask." he said almost rolling his eyes. 

I just laughed at him and continued our cleaning session here. It's almost lunch when we finished cleaning, I decided to take a bath, he took a bath too after me. I changed into a oversized shirt and shorts before combing my hair. 

I roamed my eyes around my room and my eyes landed at the old guitar in the corner. I took it and sat on my bed. I started strumming the guitar while humming. 

"do you write a song with that guitar?" someone spoke behind me. 

It's jungkook with his damp hair. His towel wa placed on his shoulder, water was still drifting from his hair to his white V neck shirt. He's also wearing a black short that made his fair skin so evident. 

" no, I'm not really good at playing guitar. I'm still learning." I answered after surveying jungkook's appearance. 

He followed me on my bed and placed his towel on the edge of my bed. He offered his hand, asking if he can play the guitar so I lend it to him.
