Then_And_Now_CHAPTER14
I've been so busy this past few days, I accepted the hosting for Inkigayo so I can have my escape everytime Jin goes to our dorm just to court me. He and his three vocalist members would always end up staying in our place.
It's a bad thing for us girls because what if fans and the media find out about it. After accepting the offer, I've been out practicing as an MC. But unfortunately BTS just have their comeback. They released Spring Day and Not Today. And they're about to perform, after the short interview.
I was busy talking with my co-MCs as we waited for the signal that we're live.
I will be standing with my ex. Yes he's situated beside me, and Jin's at the back. Well I can say that it's no big deal for me to stand beside my ex. I forgave him already. When the cameraman signalled that we are going live, I muster a big smile to the camera.
"They just have their comeback and it was already a hit!" I agreed to whatever my partner said, I nodded my head. "Who's here Jisoo?"
"2, 3, Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bangtan wasseoyo! Bangtan Sonyeondan!" (Translation: BTS is here)
I stand right next to Yoongi while I look at my MC partner as he continued introducing BTS but I flinched when Yoongi's arm hit mine so I directly look at the front.
He put down his arm, and placed it behind him so our arms will not touch one another.
BTS just continued promoting their new song. And they ended up singing one line of their song.
"Bogo shipda~" Jungkook, Jimin and Jin sang. (Translation: I miss you). I clapped at their perfect harmony and sing the line too. I can feel their stares at me. Wait why did I sang their song? People will think I'm helping to promote their song?! The heck with me! RM got the mic and was about to sing but instead of continuing it, he compliments me in the end earning a soft laughs from his members.
I can't help but smile too. I forgot that I'm with some crackhead group.
After the interview, I bowed at them without having an eye contact. Until Jungkook went near me, while teasingly sang BOGO SHIPDA again. I squinted my eyes at him. This coconut head guy is teasing me.
"You're close?" I looked at Jinyoung from Got7 as he asked. I shyly nodded.
"We just happened to be close Jinyoung hyung." Jungkook answered for us.
"You look good being an MC noona." Taehyung said. What's wrong with these human beings? First of all Taehyung and I are both born in 95. And this is the first time he called me noona. It's gross.
"Stop teasing her, you two. We need to change our outfits and get our makeup done." and at that my heart beats so fast. Why do I feel nervous everytime he's around? I avoided his gaze at me.
"Jin hyung." Jinyoung greeted.
"Hi." he greeted back. But his gaze was still fixated on me.
"I think we should go." I wanna thank Jinyoung for saying that. I nodded at him and was about to go with him but I felt a hand holding my shoulders as I turned around.
Jinyoung looked behind me, and to where those hands are holding.
"Jisoo, I'm proud of you. I'll see you later." no words came out from my mouth. He push me lightly making me step forward. I just forgot that I was gonna walk away.
Jinyoung was about to guide me off, but I stop him midway when he's about to touch my shoulder. I awkwardly smiled at him.
"Don't hold me." I wanna clap myself for not stuttering but he looked at me with confusion in his eyes. He knows that something's going on, but he chose to stay quiet.
As I enter to where my private room is, I clasped both of my hands together. I am shaking. I don't know what's the reason. Is it because Jin held my shoulder? Or is it because Jinyoung has the guts that I have a connection with Jin?
I frustratedly slam my face onto the table in front of me, and I caress my forehead to the strong impact. I look at the mirror and my forehead was so red. That's painful!
I keep on caressing my forehead, until the door opens. Jinyoung entered with a cup of coffee. He was worried when he saw my forehead getting red.
"What happen to you?" he puts down the coffee on the table and walk in front of me. Taking off my hands from my face as he touch my forehead. I flinch at the sudden contact. "I get it that your flustered to see your crush earlier, but aren't you too obvious?" I was stunned in place when I heard him ask that.
"No he's not my-"
"Don't deny it Jisoo, it's written all over your face."
I got embarrass that I'm so visible. How come he knows, while I'm still figuring out?
"And now you're turning redder? So cute." he pinched both of my cheeks. The door creak open again and I blink a couple of times to see Jin standing in front of us. He wasn't looking at me now, he is looking at Jinyoung's hands on my face.
I got off from Jinyoung's hold, he was confused about my actions so he turned around. I thought he already got the idea of giving a distance from me, but I was shocked when he encircled his arms over my shoulder.
"Sunbaenim." he greeted. (Translation: Senior)
Jin closed the door behind him and entered with a big smile plastered on his lips. He scanned me from head to toe.
No traces of jealousy is shown on his face. Why would he be jealous? It's not like we're in a relationship anyway.
"Park Jinyoung." I gulped so loud that even I don't know why. That's the first time I heard him muttered Jinyoung's full name. And it's kinda scary.
"What makes you come here sunbae?"
"I just came to visit Jisoo." he answered like it isn't a big deal.
"Oh really? Should I go now?" I wanna hit this stupid guy on the face for being over dramatic. He's getting on my nerves.
"No need. Maybe I should go." Jin said, he looked at me for the last time and he turned around leaving the both of us blank. He actually left.
I got off Jinyoung's arm from my shoulder and slap his arm so hard. He hissed in pain but he's laughing like a crazy addict getting drugged.
"What are you doing?!"
"I'm just trying to push his buttons Jisoo. If he do likes you, he'll not gonna leave you with me." I rolled my eyes at his reason. I just made Jin feel bad now.
I hurriedly went out the room and look at the hallway. Where could he be? I began walking along the hallway to see Jin but I was stopped when a big, calloused hand held my wrist. I was in the verge of shouting to ask for help when the hand pulled me to some room.
As soon as we got inside the room, the hand flew to my mouth to cover the squeal that was going to come out from me. My chest is heaving so fast, I'll seriously kill someone.
"It's me." the voice made me calm. That smoothing voice is fanning to my left ear. If someone will take a look to the two of us, we looked like a couple hugging. "I'm sorry for scaring you." his hands are encircled to my waist, trying to pull me closer to his body.
"I thought I'm being kidnap you moron." I hit his back, but all I get as a response is his laugh. That makes me calmer. I didn't say anything about our position right now, because I like it. I like him this close to me.
We are in some storage room. The lights are out. The only light that comes in this room is from the hallway.
"Why is he in your dressing room?" he asked as he pulled out from our hug.
"He gave me a coffee." I answered. I'm so proud of myself for not stuttering even though he's so close to me. His forehead is leaning onto mine. I get to see his facial feature cause he's closing his eyes while I'm staring at him for free.
"Why is he so close to you?"
"Why are you asking me? Are you jealous?" I don't wanna assume things, but I'm just curious.
"I'm jealous as hell Kim Jisoo, I don't like this feeling." my mouth hang wide open to his confession.
