30. Bears attack the honeycomb

"There are many small apartments in Seoul. It would be better to have one like this so it doesn't take so long to clean. One week you, one week me; same with the dishes and we'd have an hour to do homework, one day to watch movies; we'll take Bam out at night to exercise..."

Jimin swings her arm, holding hands with Jeonggoo who looks at her silently and deeply excited. Jimin smiles at her, Jeonggoo gives a delighted sigh and squeezes her girlfriend's hand. Jeonggoo takes her to a movie and now she talks endlessly about a life that sounds perfect in Seoul. Despite being so, it sounds like something possible. Small apartment, having to study hard, the rest of the time would be to devote to whatever they do to subsist; sleeping together; having a space for Bam...

It's difficult. It sounds difficult as well as charming.

Jimin takes it for granted that Jeonggoo will go with her. She hasn't told him otherwise. The trip is in three days. She has everything ready to go. So do Taehyung and Hosook.

"Oh! And my parents are going to give me an operation for my eyes! Make them a little bit bigger. That's the only thing I'd like to change. It will be a birthday present. I hope by that time I'll have already been accepted in an agency." announces Jimin without holding back the excitement of it. Jeonggoo knows that it bothers her to have small eyes and wants to make them bigger.

Similar to Hyuna.

Jimin is cute.

Very cute.

But...

"I... I... can't... leave."

Jimin stops and bows the head. Jeonggoo keeps her face low and her frightened gesture catches the attention.

"Why not?"

"Maybe you don't understand, but Bangtan is my family. Busan is All I know and I'm afraid to leave" Jimin nods. It's a reasonable explanation. "Leaving so soon... leaving everything behind... it scares me so much."

"I know. I'm scared to leave everything here too. Being without my parents... it will be complicated" Accepts the dancer, "but it's a growing up thing. We have to make our own way at some point. Be what we want and move forward."

"It's too soon."

"Not really."

"For me it is."

"Ummm..."

"Why don't we wait a little longer?"

"Nope. I won't. I don't think you should either," Jimin adds. "Bangtan is going to suck you all the way in and you won't come out."

"I promise you I'll leave Bangtan. Let's just wait a little longer."

Jimin lets out a laugh and shakes her head. Jeonggoo turns away somewhat shaken by that gesture. She pushes aside her long, platinum blonde dyed hair. Jimin gives another giggle, rocking back on her heels with her yellow skirt tight on her hips and the red Winnie Pooh shirt pressed to her chest.

"Jeonggoo you lie to me too much. Don't be so cheeky, please."

"It's the truth!"

"If I stay or leave you here it won't be able to work because Bangtan matters too much to you. I wouldn't care if it was a dance, sports, painting, exercise group... it's a gang" Jimin emphasizes with a smiling and seemingly calm gesture. "Where they vandalize private property, steal, hurt each other. I'm sorry, but it's not something I plan to put up with anymore. Not even for you."

Jeonggoo takes a deep breath. Altered and constipated. She doesn't understand how Jimin can talk like this until she realizes that she clenches her hands and pulls her fingers, nervous and possibly, shaking to maintain this attitude. She stammers before she can say something coherent.
