My heart drops as the sound reaches my ears and I know what it means. I open my eyes unwillingly and see the green light on my watch, indicating my mission is done and my time here is up.

At every second now, I can get the warning that I'll be sent home in the next ten minutes. It could be now, it could be in 24 hours. It's impossible for me to know.

I don't know how much time I have left here.

I hope, pray and wish for Dohyun to be off work and that he hopefully just got home. That means I at least have 12 hours left.

"Y/n?" Jungkook's hand on my shoulder brings me back to the present.

I look up at him. Tears are blurring my vision, but I can tell that he's worried as he places his other hand on my other shoulder and squeezes, "Y/n, what's wrong?"

I'm stubborn and I won't let the tears fall. I won't let my misery spoil this moment for Jungkook. My breath is shaky, but I take deep breaths sucking in enough air to steady it.

I swallow thickly, blinking my tears away and biting the inside of my cheek hard enough so I can taste the blood.

"What's wrong?" Jungkook's caring voice sounds again. He's bended down being at the same eye level as me as he searches my eyes.

"I'm alright." I say and smile, but my smile fades. It's obvious I'm not okay and I slap myself mentally for even trying.

"Y/n! Nice to see meet you!" Jimin's voice sounds as he shoves away Jungkook and pull me into a hug.

I'm baffled by Jimin's sudden reaction and I feel the tears pressure again as his hugs provoke so many feelings inside me.

"It's okay, don't cry Y/n." Jimin whispers into my ear and I listen, "I know how much this means to you, but didn't you want to keep it a secret? That you helped us reunite?"

Jimin's voice is low and ticklish.

He thinks I'm crying because I'm happy for Jungkook.

I nod to Jimin's words, "Now suck it up and don't ruin our little secret." He whispers and pull away from me, showing me a smile. I chuckle gently, sucking in my tears as he told me to. He's such a kind soul, I wonder why such bad things has happened to him. He doesn't deserve it.

"Now that's enough!" Jungkook pulls Jimin away from me.

I chuckle at Jungkook's reaction before he lowers down to my eye level again, searching my eyes.

"Jealous now, are we?" I joke, making Jungkook shake his head and smile.

He gets up and straightens his back, turning around to face the guys behind him, "Guys this is Y/n." Jungkook introduces me.

I wave awkwardly to all of them. I've met them all before, Jungkook doesn't need to introduce us, but of course he doesn't know.

"Y/n, this is Yoongi." Jungkook points to Yoongi who's standing far left. Yoongi shows me his gummy smile and winks at me. I kindly bow at him, for once remembering and respecting the formalities that belong in this time—ironically enough I only use them now as I'm pretending to meet them for the first time.

"This is Namjoon."

Namjoon sents me a smile that shows his dimples and I smile back at him.

"Seokjin, we call him Jin." Jungkook chuckles as he introduces him. It's evident that Jungkook is so merry in this moment. His eyes are glowing and he's talking in a high pitch. He's really excited to introduce me to his friends.

"Also known as world wide handsome." Seokjin bows and shows a proud smile, raising his eyebrows with it.

"Really? You're still going by that?" Hoseok asks and starts laughing afterwards. Jin starts muttering bickers as Hoseok is laughing at him.

"Hoseok." Jungkook says as he sees my eyes on Hoseok already.

"Nice to meet you Y/n."

I can't help but giggle as Hoseok steps forward and reaches out his hand for me to shake. I shake it while shaking my head at him. This is so weird.

Jungkook lets his eyes switch between Hoseok and I for a few seconds before he faces Jimin and points to him, "And last and definitely least, Jimin." Jungkook jokes and Jimin places his hand over his heart, pretending to be offended.

It's nice to see Jungkook joke around with his friend.

"Hi Jimin." I bow and send him a smile.

Jimin winks at me and sends Jungkook a look before he looks back at me, "Jungkook has told me a lot about you."

Jungkook slaps Jimin's shoulder quickly after the words leave his mouth, but Jimin ignores him. I look over at Jungkook whose cheeks are turning a slightly pinkish color. It's adorable and I can't control the slight smirk that crawls onto my lips and the confidence boost that builds up within me.

"Oh has he?" I dare Jimin.

I'm not sure if he's lying since he told me yesterday that Jungkook never mentioned a name. But he did mention a girl, and I would like to know what he said about that girl.

"Yeah, he's talking about you a lot. There's this one time—"

Jungkook slaps his hand over Jimin's mouth, preventing him from saying more, "Now shouldn't we sit down and order food instead of standing here, talking nonsense?" He suggests giving Jimin a look.

I nod and let Jungkook get off the hook, the others might be bored by our three way conversation anyway. But as I turn to sit down, I notice them already conversing and not standing in some awkward silence, which warms my heart.

Maybe this wasn't just for Jungkook, I think, but my thoughts are interrupted by Jungkook's yell behind me.

"Ew, you're so nasty!" He exclaims and shakes his hand, wiping it in Jimin's shirt afterwards. Jimin's face is smeared with a satisfied grin.

"So Y/n, were you a fan?" Jin asks as we all settle at the table.

He smiles at me, pretending to be genuinely interested. I have to prevent my chuckle that really wants to escape my lips. Jin winks at me, noticing.

Jin is fully aware that I'm not a fan. I'm sure the rejection have left him just a little butt hurt and maybe even made a crack in his confidence.

"Actually..." Jungkook explains about how I'm new here and I've never heard of BTS before. I let him, seeing how excited he is to talk about me. It makes my heart flutter to see the spark in his eyes as he talks about how we met.

Back then he needed to talk to me, but didn't want to and I didn't need to talk to him, but I had to. It's funny how things went. Now, Jungkook wants to talk to me. He's called me over to his house multiple times, he's texted me, kissed me, told me things that no one would unless they mean it.

But as the one thing changed, the other did too—and Jungkook doesn't need me anymore.
