ENTRY #10

Break — Park Jimin (Requested)

Summary: Jimin could blame no one else but himself when Dahyun began to treat him coldly. Because while he cracked under pressure, he broke what he and Dahyun had in the process.

ੈ♡˳·˖✶

Dating in the idol industry is difficult. It's taboo. It could lead to all sorts of scandals and controversies until the eventual loss of popularity. Even outside of dating, the entertainment industry has always been demanding towards female artists. One frown, one stare, and it'll all be over. Their names will be put on every corner of the internet, and will be shown in a bad light. So, knowing all these, Dahyun became careful.

She was always careful from the way she dressed, acted, and spoke. She always wore a smile and bowed to everyone that came her way. She limited the personal information she shared to her fans and to the media with TWICE songs being her favorite music, with chocolate being her number one food and drink, and with the eagle dance, her camera spotting skills, her ever-changing hair, and her variety show skills being her main image to the general public.

But who knew that idol persona of hers would attract someone like Park Jimin?

Dahyun knew him. She knew his bandmates. Everyone did. They were one of the best examples for rags-to-riches stories with how they went from being nobodies to being complete superstars everyone looked up to. Every idol especially their labelmates wanted to interact with them, and to collaborate even. But their dreams went to TWICE, who shared a stage with them, and who promoted with them multiple times.

Dahyun always found herself in the same place as them: in award show seating arrangements, backstage, and even in ISAC where she found hers and Jimin's name in the same sentence later that day.

"Jimin was caught staring at Dahyun at an ISAC competition when he sat just behind her. It even seems as if J-Hope is talking to him but he's so mesmerized that he is completely zoned out." Nayeon read from her phone while they chowed down on instant noodles in the middle of the living room floor.

The rest of the girls passed each other knowing looks and smug grins.

Dahyun could feel their gazes on her as she kept her head down whilst she ate. Admittedly, she found him attractive, well, all idols are. But the heat was rushing up to her cheeks and dusting her skin red. She didn't dare to look up from her cup or else she'll be on the receiving end of their relentless teasing.

"Dahyun-ah!"

She felt someone nudge her in the stomach, almost making her choke and spit out the broth she was slurping on.

"What is it?" Dahyun whined.

Chaeyoung was sitting next to her. It seemed that she had just finished hers with the empty cup down on the floor in front of her.

"What if he was the one who gave you that sandwich? Nayeon-unnie was the one that received it because you were changing out of your archery uniform, but what if?"

Dahyun kept her mouth shut, yet she bit on her tongue in thought. When she looked around, everyone was staring at her, as if they were all anticipating for her flustered and defensive reaction.
