Chapter 23

Jungkook's P.O.V.:

I wonder where Areum and Jimin are. Fixing myself for the next photo shooting, I left the room after putting on the clothes and went next door to Jimin and Areum's dressing room.

I knocked lightly, "I'm coming in."

Turning the knob and pushing the door open, Areum is embraced into V's arms. For some odd reason, a rush of disturbance of the two hugging washed through me. Slightly, I balled my fists, not too tightly.

"Areum.. What happened? Your eyes, they're swollen," I told her as V and her pulled away from each other. Obviously, she looked like she was crying.

"What happened?" I looked at V. Instead, he didn't say a word.

"It's nothing Jungkook. I just got really emotional telling V how much I missed my mom," she said softly wiping away the tears from falling down her cheeks.

"Are you sure?" I asked walking closer to her. Suddenly, V spoke up and slightly blocked my path.

"She's fine. I think she just needs some space Jungkook." I looked at him, a glint of him glaring at me. What's up with this guy? Just because he's older than me, he thinks he can really boss me around like this.

Suddenly, the door opened. I turned around and saw Jimin (girl) dressed in another outfit for the next shoot. She looked just as surprised as I was.

"Should I ask?" she finally spoke.

"It's nothing guys. Uhm, I have to go change," Areum quickly said. Suddenly, the makeup designer came back into the room and gasped.

"OMO! You're eyes! They're swollen and puffy. Ppali, so I can fix it," the woman said, motioning her over to a chair in front of the mirror.

I looked at Areum as she met my gaze. Just then, I felt an arm link into mine's. It was Jimin's.

"Come on, Jungkook. We should get ready," she said pulling me along. I followed her along, since I couldn't do anything. But before I left, I gave one more glance at Areum and after that, she was gone.

V followed behind us, hearing his footsteps one after the other.

The others were already standing by since the next photo shoot is with all of us including the girls. At that point, Jimin turned to me.

"I'm just going to get a drink of water. Do you want a bottle too?" she asked. "I'm good. Thank you though," I replied to her trying to give a smile.  She smiled back and leaned in to kiss my cheeks.

Honestly, I didn't know how to feel right now. I thought sparks should have been sent flying, but I just kept Areum in mind. And why was V over protecting her? *sighs* Suddenly, someone gave me a slap on the back.

"Yah, Jungkook-ah. Where's Areum?" Namjoon hyung asked.

"Oh? Uhm, she's just getting her makeup done," I replied to him.

"Ah, arasseo. We should get ready and fix ourselves."

I nodded my head and agreed as he walked away to socialize with Suga and Hobi hyung. Jimin(girl) came back, holding a water bottle in her hand.

"Drink some. You looked stressed about something," she said. I pouted, but she was right. I took the water bottle from her and drank a sip anyways. Just then, Areum had just entered the scene, her makeup and outfit ready to go.

"Alright! Can I have all my modelers stand over at the front now? I'm going to be taking shots." The nine of us piled onto the platform. Both Jimin and Areum sat in two chairs that were placed just in front of us and the rest of us boys standing in a straight line behind them.

My eyes kept staring on Areum here and then. I'm worried about her. This whole time, I was always worried about her. I was worried about how she would've turned out when finally after four years I got to meet her. I was worried about she would react the way I poured out my feelings to Jimin. I was worried about the friendship we've had before my debut with the boys. She was always stuck in my mind. And now, I can't seem to get her out of my mind.
