The mask

Euphoria

A few months passed.

Today could have been their 100-day anniversary, but instead, Jungkook and the boys were in Korea, busy promoting their comeback.

Yasmine sat alone in her room, feeling sad remembering what day it was.

She checked her phone and realized she had missed a lot from the group chat.

She didn't reply.

Yasmine heard someone knocking on her door.

"Yasmine, sweetheart. Tisha is here," her mother smiled.

Yasmine didn't react.

Tisha went inside after saying a soft thank you to Yasmine's mother.

"Girl, it stinks in here," she opened the curtains and the windows.

Yasmine hissed at the sudden sunlight in her face.

"Wash up. We have to go in a few hours," Tisha waved her hand, hoping the nasty smell would disappear.

"To where?" Yasmine asked, bored.

"I'll tell you when you are done. Now go," Tisha fake gagged.

Yasmine murmured some words before brushing her teeth and having a quick shower.

"That looks better," Tisha smiled.

"So, where are we going?" Yasmine asked.

"To Japan, remember? We bought tickets for BTS."

"Oh, right..." Yasmine sighed.

Tisha wrapped her arm around Yasmine's shoulder.

"I know it's hard for you, but you should know... Jungkook is hurting too. If I have to believe Hoseok, Jungkook isn't sleeping or eating well since the moment they left America."

The thought made Yasmine sad.

"You know, dating an idol is not easy, but in the end, they are just ordinary humans like you and me," Tisha spoke softly.

Yasmine nodded. "Jungkook told me the same thing as you... Is something going on between Hoseok and you?" Yasmine thought out loud.

"Eh... We are dating, yes," Tisha tried to hide her face in embarrassment.

"What? Since when? Why didn't you tell me?"

"I... I thought it was inappropriate since you broke up."

Yasmine gave her a soft smile.

"Of course not. I am genuinely happy for you two. Tell me, how is it like?"

Tisha laughed. "Well, it's not always easy. Sometimes we laugh, sometimes we get mad, sometimes we miss each other's touch, but in the end, we know our love is strong."

"The total opposite of Jungkook," Yasmine scoffed.

"Hm... I think you two started wrong. The whole Ian thing gave you trust issues, am I right?" Tisha asked.

Yasmine nodded

. "You should know... Hoseok uses another name on social media too. Not to catfish people, but to experience things as an ordinary human. I mean, for his fans he isn't ordinary, but for me, he is just my boyfriend. Maybe you can understand that?" Tisha asked Yasmine.

"I guess you are right," Yasmine sighed. "Let's go to our friends."

A few hours later, Yasmine and the girls took their flight to Japan.

The girls were happy to see her.

Yasmine was happy to see them too, but she also felt a nervous lump in her throat.
