Apart from My Job (JK FANFIC)

Ch 3: Ms. Daebak

I wake up before dawn and get ready for a normal working day. As I take my time to peacefully walk towards the office, I'm unaware that someone is anxiously waiting to see me.

I walk in the studio, and towards the makeup room as I normally do. "Oh, here you are. How could you be so late?! Come on! We have to start! You start with Jin while I start with Jimin." Seo Hee again bosses around. I wasn't even a bit late! To be honest, I was actually early. But I let it pass as I don't enjoy fighting and nagging in the morning.

I grab my brush and start with my work. As I do makeup, my long hair keep bugging. It always came infront of my eyes. I grab a scrunchie and I pull my hair to tie it but someone interrupts me, "Ya, don't do that!" It was Jungkook. "Don't do what?" I ask. "Don't tie your hair like that!" Jungkook argues while blushing. "Why?" I ask again. "Why not?" Jungkook replies, not knowing what he should say. I continue to ignore him and tie my hair anyways.

Meanwhile, Seo Hee tries to find her stupid brush. "Aigoo! Where is my 36 briselled, fine long wood makeup brush?!?" Jimin seems to have picked a sight of the brush and goes to grab it while Seo Hee also spots it and moves her hand forward to grab it. "I found it!" Both announce. They both moves forward to grab but accidentally they grab each other's hand instead of the brush. They both give a blushing look to each other and quickly draw their hands back. Seo Hee swiftly grabs the brush and starts to work with a blushing face.

Once I was done with Jin, I start to do Jungkook's makeup remembering his words of not to ignore him. But today, Jungkook had a different glow in his eyes. He kept looking at me, like he's trying to find and answer which is written on my face. I quickly complete his makeup and start with other member's makeup.

But he doesn't seem to take his eyes off me until "Today we have to do 'that' part of choreography." Namjoon reminds. All the members give a tensed look. I ask Taehyung "What part of choreography?" He replies "It's the most difficult part of choreography." "Hmm. Best of luck!" I try to lighten the mood. "What the best dance to pair with chips? It's Salsa!" Everyone gives a chuckle. J-Hope remarks "Your jokes are worse than Jin!" Jin reacts cutely to it and acts to beat Hoseok while everyone bursts into laughing. "Mission successful!" I mumble to myself. But someone (guess who?) listens my slightest mumble and give me a smile. But  I don't seem to notice it.

Once all the makeover is over, everyone moves out towards the set where the crew was fixing cameras and lights. I grab a seat. Finally they start the shooting. They mess up a million times. The entire choreo gets messed up just because of one person, JUNGKOOK. I'm amused to see how difficult the choreo was. Especially, I witness the members falling a hundred times! But inside I knew that they could do this, Jungkook could do this.

I suddenly start to have an headache. I go to the solitude of makeup room to have some rest. I have a seat and close my eyes. I suddenly hear a loud banging noise. It was Jungkook. He just closed the door with a loud bang. He was totally angered and disgusted. He punches his hand on the wall.

"Did the Jungkook who never refuses to lose, lose?" I ask sarcastically. A totally annoyed Jungkook cries "I'm a human too! I also lose!" "Woah! So did you give up? What about your millions of fans who are waiting for your new song so impatiently?" I ask with a pinch of sarcasm. "And that's what scares me. I have a pressure of a million people who want me to be perfect. I'm scared of disappointing them!" Jungkook cries out. "Did you forgot why you joined this group? Your dream was to give joy to people with your songs. Your dream was to remove them from depression and make them feel special. You just joined this group to enjoy yourself and the music." I take a pause and continue "My dad used to say that if others can do it, you can also do it. They are also humans with same pair of legs, hands and eyes. If they can do it, then why can't you? Ofcourse you can do it! You just have to believe in yourself. And most importantly enjoy it." I complete my words. There is a new flare in Jungkook's eyes. He suddenly stands up and walk towards the door. "Wait!" I immediately spoke off. "Let me fix your makeup first."

Jungkook turns back and grabs a seat while I open my makeup box. But this time, when I turn to do his makeup, it feels like his mind has gotten cleared about something. He doesn't gives that puzzled look he gave a few hours ago. I quickly fix his makeup and let the king go his way.

While Jungkook makes his way on the stage, I also snatch a seat to see the lion perform. He tries 10 more times. And fail all the time. But this time, he believes in  himself. Then, finally the miracle happens. Jungkook with the entire BTS finally performs the choreo with success. I watch in awe, how beautifully and gracefully they perform the dance. I can never dance like that. It's not that I can't actually do it, it will just take me 10 years of practice to perform it with success.

As soon as BTS finally succeeds, they burst into laughing and roll on the floor. They cry in tears of joy. I give a slight smile and grab my purse to leave. Jungkook notices me leaving.

I was about to click the elevator button, but someone calls my name from behind "Moonbyul!" It was Jungkook. I look towards him smiling. "Thank you!" He expresses. I could see deepness in his thank you. I softly reply "You always had this in your self. I just helped it to come out." Jungkook asks softly "Can I ask you something?" "Sure" I reply to it. "When you talked about your dad, why did you said 'used to'?" My smile faints but I regain my smile and reveal "My dad is not with me anymore. Well, he is not in this world anymore." Jungkook's smile faints, but he still stays strong "Don't worry! I'm with you." My heart starts to beat again. But I hide that fact and go down the elevator.

Once I leave, Jungkook talks with himself "She's so cool. She's hot. She's Ms. Daebak." Jungkook starts to like this girl who sparked fire in him...
