Dreams Come True (JK fanfic)

8: Jungkook

I turned around and saw Jimin jog up to me.

"Woah slow down Jimin. I'm not going anywhere," I laughed. He smiled.

"I just saw you on Namjoon hyung's live! ARMY seems to like you," he said. I nodded.

"Anyways, where are you going?" he asked me.

"I'm just heading to the studios to find Jungkook," I replied.

"Ah I'll come with you then. I've been meaning to brush up on a few moves," he said.

"Brush up? You guys are always so perfect," I mumbled. He chuckled as we made our way to the elevator.

"Everyone needs practice Sohyun. Perfection is just perception," he told me. I nodded.

"Jimin, do you think I'll be a good idol?" I asked him. He looked at me in surprise.

"Sohyun I believe that hard work will pay off, and you seem very hard-working," he smiled. I smiled with him.

His eye smile is so darn addicting.

The elevator dinged as we reached the practice rooms. I quickly got out and looked into a few practice rooms to look for Jungkook.

"Jungkook usually practices in the last one on the right," Jimin said from behind me. I turned around and gave him an 'okay' sign.

"Hyung who is this?" I heard someone say. I turned around and saw five guys coming out of a practice room.

"Ah Taehyun this is Sohyun; a new trainee here at Bighit," Jimin said as he gestured to me. The five boys bowed and greeted me, and I did the same back.

"Sohyun, this is our other group here at Bighit: Tomorrow by Together," Jimin told me.

"Ah yes, TXT! I know them. I really like your music," I complimented them. They all turned embarrassed and looked away except Hueningkai.

"Is it Sohyun or Sohyun noona?" Hueningkai asked me.

"Ah I'm the same age as Jungkook! So it's probably noona then," I smiled. He nodded.

"Yah don't we have to meet Bang Pd-nim?" Taehyun asked Soobin. Soobin looked at the time and his eyes widened.

"We gotta go. Bye Jimin hyung and Sohyun noona!" he said as they ran towards the elevator. We waved good-bye to them.

"So the last set of practice rooms and he uses the one on the right?" I looked at Jimin to double check.

"Yup, I'll be in this one if you need help," he pointed to the one he was standing in front of.

"Thanks Jimin," I told him before walking towards the end of the hallway. I could hear music booming from the last studio, so I peeked in. Jungkook was practicing really hard to some of his group's choreo. He looked exhausted and on the verge of just collapsing. When the music ended, he dragged himself towards his water bottle and sat against the mirror. I knocked on the door before stepping in. Jungkook spotted me and smiled. He crossed his legs and gestured for me to come over.

"All done in my studio?" he asked. I nodded.

"I found something interesting as well," I hummed. He looked at me with a ridiculous face before taking a sip of his water.

"As if there was something to find," he said before drinking the water.

"I found your secret Twitter account," I whispered. He spit his water and widened his eyes. He looked over at me through his sweaty hair, and I giggled.

"What account? I don't have a secret account. I use the BTS one," he claimed. I took out a picture of the account I had taken and showed it to him.

"Then what is this mentor-nim?" I asked. He glanced at it and looked away.

"It's for the greater good alright," he mumbled.

"Greater good indeed! This account usually sets up multiple streams for BTS performances for the Armies with less money," I poked him.

"Aish I get a staff member to manage it if we're live on stage, but you can't tell anyone," he looked at me dead-seriously.

"I wouldn't dare," I teased. He rolled his eyes.

"It's about 4:30pm. You should get home," he said as he stood up. I saw him wince but he smiled when he saw me looking at him.

Jungkook, I already know how hard you work. You just don't let anyone see your pain.

"You're right! I do have to update my best friend about spending a day at Bighit," I sarcastically said. He grabbed his water bottle and phone before exiting the practice room; I was following behind.

"Ah so you do have friends," he teased.

"Ayy I'm not a total loner," I replied. I saw him genuinely smile as we got into the elevator.

"I'll walk you to the front," he said as he pressed the button for the ground floor.

"Thank you," I quietly said. Once we were a few feet from the front, we stopped and looked at each other.

"How was your first day with your almighty mentor?" Jungkook joked.

"It was...

Comforting

A pleasant experience and...

Really admiring to see how hard working you are in-person

Very nice to see how BTS lives in their everyday life," I laughed. Jungkook shook his head.

"Being an idol isn't all crystals and shine, there are hardships too. I hope that you'll be able to overcome the hardships and debut," Jungkook told me. I nodded.

"Of course!" I replied.

"Hwaiting," Jungkook said as he lifted his fist up.

"Hwaiting," I replied with my fist up as well.

"See you tomorrow at 9am sharp," Jungkook said.

"Ah do you want me to send you a message so you have my number? I only have yours," I looked at my phone and then him. He shook his head.

"I have your number already. I got it from the application," he said as he waved his phone. I nodded.

"Then I'll be on my way," I said as I turned to leave.

"Bye Sohyun," Jungkook waved. I waved back and exited the building.

The bright sun of Seoul really blinded me when I left the building. I had to squint to see where I had parked my car.

Oh I parked a bit far because it was crowded.

WAIT!
I looked at my hands.

Phone, car keys, and a missing duffel bag.

I sighed. I'll get it tomorrow.

I got into my car and sent a message to Jungkook.

Sohyun: I left my duffel bag in your studio.

I'll pick it up tomorrow though.

I started my car and drove home.

Once I parked, I looked at my phone again.

Jungkook: Alright

I sighed in relief that Jungkook was fine with keeping my duffel bag. I walked up to my apartment, threw my keys on the counter, and fell onto my couch.

What a damn day.

My eyes dimmed and slowly closed from exhaustion.
