My Brother is an Idol

Chapter 4

Ok. This is not going to work out.

There is absolutely no way I can convince Jungkook after what happened last night. He probably wouldn't even wanna see me anymore. I was sitting on the bed the next morning contemplating what my next course of action should be. Then I realized that there's only one way I can convince him and that is to get one of the members to do it for me instead.

That morning I was too lazy to get out of my bed and I had a slight headache. I ordered Daniel to bring the breakfast to my bed and I sat there watching more BTS videos.

--

I was feeling better and energetic that evening so I got ready to visit the dorm.... Again. This time I didn't wanna go up so I just sat on a bench in the ground floor. Fortunately, about 10 minutes passed by when someone got out of the elevator.

"Oh... It's you. Did you come to see Jungkook again? And by the way, I was hoping to tell you that I'm really sorry about the way I behaved yesterday. I was quite rude to you. You see, we were in a hurry and I was worried we were gonna be late for our practice." Jimin grinned.

"Uh... no. It's totally fine. I understand." I muttered.

He wore a hoodie with a face mask that was pulled down to his chin.

"So what are you doing here?" He repeated.

"Nothing. I know Jungkook doesn't want to see me. But I was bored and had nothing to do so I came here."

"We don't have practice today so our practice room in Bighit building will be free. I can take you there if you want." He offered.

"Cool. But can we just grab some instant ramen on the way? I am starving." He readily agreed.

--

We made our way to the practice room of the Bighit building with a cup of instant ramen in our hands. We began eating while having a casual conversation.

"So, I thought since Jungkook wouldn't wanna see me, maybe you could help me by convincing him instead?"

"I'll do what I can although I cannot promise you anything. Jungkook can be very stubborn at times. But first tell me everything you know in detail."

I told him everything about my parents that I heard from Daniel. He too was quite surprised that my parents hid all of that from me.

"But why did you parents name you 'Clare' when your parents were Korean?" He asked me a question that I found a little dumb.

"I'm only Half-Korean. My dad is an American and he always wanted to name his daughter 'Clare', if he ever had one."

There was an awkward silence for a while after that when a thought popped into my mind.

"So... you and Taehyung are best friends, huh?" I asked him.

"Yeah. We have been from the time we first met each other. Since we are of the same age, we really understand each other. It looked like you already met Taehyung earlier."

"Yeah, I did. On the first day I came into your room and talked Jungkook. He seems really nice."

"He's always nice to everyone and makes friends easily. But he keeps his distance from strangers. It's not really that easy to get close to him although it doesn't seem like it."

What is it gonna take for me to get close to him?

We continued talking for a while. I don't know why I didn't all along, but this is when I saw him, like actually noticed and observed him. He was beautiful in a way.
