Test me| (Jungkook/Halla)

30- Back to the Start

"Are you okay?"

"Yes... yes, I'm fine...", I smile at her weakly but she sees right through it. Hyu Jin's gaze softens as she shifts on her bed.

"How... have you been Halla...", she whispers and I fiddle with my fingers.

"It's been good! You know, I finally cleared things with my Dad and...", I swallow harshly, still fiddling with my fingers.

I don't want to cry again.

Hyu Jin just looks at me, knowing, I'm nervous.

"Halla...", she says but it is hesitant. I look up to meet her worried eyes. "Jungkook... hasn't been doing so great."

My heart breaks a little bit more at that.

"... Well, as you may know, BTS is the big thing right now. They really made it. But... from what Jimin tells me, Jungkook wasn't the same anymore these past few months..."

I am sobbing again.

Hyu Jin looks at me, sympathetic. "... Halla... I'm not telling you this, so you feel bad about it but... Please come back to him."

The last sentence comes out like a question and I bite my quivering lip.

I don't know, if I should, if I can.

(Jimin Pov)

The past five months were extremely difficult.

The day, Halla left was the day, Jungkook became distant. He still talked to us, practiced, did his best on performances, on radioshows and shoots.

But he never smiled.

And his tone always was... cold and angry.

He didn't intend to insult us, he tried his best but his mind always was somewhere else.

We all are really close, here in BTS. We replace each other's families, who we haven't seen in so long.

Jungkook has no family anymore. I remember, how all of us had to mend his broken heart back then. It took us forever, to simply bring back a smile to Jungkook's lips.

He was never the same after that but when he met Halla, he changed.

I smile, when I remember him, the first day, he saw her. He came to us and talked about this annoying girl, who likes to get herself into trouble. He looked really pissed back then. And he always badmouthed her behind her back, but his attitude seemed to change. And all of us wiggled their eyebrows, when his voice slowly became softer whilst talking about her.

And then in PE, when he wouldn't step away from her, how mad he would get, whenever Hobi flirted with her.

He denied liking her for so long. But he always was there, when something happened to her. For us, it was clear.

They fit perfect together. Both weird, a little off but the best ones, if you get to know them.

I really hope, he will smile again soon.

"Kookie!"

He looks up, covered in sweat. Right now, we are in the practicing room. Kookie stayed behind but I didn't want to leave him alone.

We were practicing for our upcoming show. All of us were exhausted. But it's fine, we're getting a break afterwards.

I gave him a smile. "Let's get out, Kookie. Let's grab something to eat. I'm hungry."
