Unkind Fate: Jaebum

☑️Chapter 6: Meeting his friends

"Mianhaeyo", he said as he let go from my hug. I took a step back and averted my eyes at the sky, embarassed about hugging him.

"Sorry if I was too dramatic", he said laughing, secretly wiping the tears left in his eyes.

"No, it's okay. It must've hard for you. You kept that feelings all along."

"I know you went through the same. It must've harder for you. If only we're in each other's side. We must've lessen the pain" he said.

"I'm sorry JB, I'm really sorry if I've left."

"It doesn't matter anymore. Because you're here now. And you promised, you will no longer leave.'

I nodded in agreement and smile.

"Let's not blame ourselves anymore, okay? Let's continue to live, pursue our dreams and make Riah happy."

We are still in the middle of conversation when someone arrived.

"Oops"

The two were shocked to see JB with me. I supposed they are someone JB know.

"Was she your friend?" the black haired guy asked.

As if he just read JB's mind he turned his gaze to me and gave me a warm smile. "Annyeonghaseyo! I'm Jackson, JB's best best best friend", he said enthusiastically, offering me his hand.

I took his hand for handshake "I'm Hara, nice to meet you."

"And I am Bambam, their cutest brother!" too proud of himself. But I admit, he's actually cute, a cute 15-year old boy.

"But I wanted to be manly!" I laughed again with his second statement. Does he really need to say that?

"Nice to meet you, Bambam" I shook his hand and without thinking, I patted his head. I don't know, maybe because I really find him cute.

Bambam silently giggled beside Jackson, which earn another smile from me.

"She's my middle school friend's sister. But yes, she's also a close friend."

I don't know why hearing it from him makes me happy. I guess, we're really okay now? Our friendship didn't really end. I was wrong for thinking otherwise. It was always there but just waited for us to clear the misunderstanding we had.

"They were my teammates, Hara."

"Just a teammate? Aren't we friends?" Jackson said.

JB just ignored Jackson's teasing which I found cute.

"By the way, Hara is now an official trainee here. She got third place last audition", JB said, feeling proud.

"Ohh, congrats noona!" Bambam said.
"Thank you", I smiled.

"So I guess JB roamed you around the building?" Jackson asked.

Honestly, not. He's probably thinking JB's giving me a tour just because he brought me here at the rooftop. But it wasn't him. It was Jiwon.

"Yeah", I said, not to make any issue.

"How was our building? It's not like what you had expected, right?" and he laughed.

Based with what I've seen so far I think I understand what Jackson means. Hearing the word JYP gives you high expectation and it didn't meet mine. But the building wasn't bad at all.

"You smiled, so I was right?" Jackson teasing me.

It's only been few minutes but I feel so comfortable with him already. He really knows how to make friends.

"But admit it, you like the view here at the rooftop! It's very relaxing, isn't it?" he said, making me smile even more.

"Sorry Hara, my friends are too loud and talkative" as if JB was too embarassed with his friends.

"But I'm not!" Jackson protested. "Bambam is the real talkative here. He just wanted to look prim and proper in front of a pretty girl."

"Aniya!", Bambam said, denying it.

"Ani? You mean she's not pretty?" Jackson, trying to tease Bambam.

"No! No!" Bambam wave his hand to me. Like he's begging me not to believe Jackson. "I mean, I'm always a good guy. There's no need to act like one in front of a pretty girl like you, Hara noona."

I couldn't help but laugh.

JB walked towards Bambam and covered his mouth, "Don't mind this kid", he said.

I was happy to see JB to have a friend like Jackson and Bambam. He might probably hid his past to them but I know he treated them like his true friends and family.

"By the way, are you going to attend the training camp? It's open for all trainees, including the new ones." Jackson asked.

"Training camp?" I repeated, slightly confused. "I never heard of that."

"Oh, wasn't it announced yet?" Jackson said, scratching his head.
