A beating heart

11. New friends

I felt seven pairs of eyes on me. I have two options.

Either I crawl back, get out and run

or 

I dig a hole with my bare hands and hide in it.

I want to cry out of embarrassment, seriously, please can they just continue whatever they were doing or just ignore me so that I can just get out like if nothing happened...like, please...I heard footsteps...Oh my god, someone is approaching, no, no please, don't come near, just don't! I don't wanna look...

I'm done.

-Areumie? A familiar voice said.

I took a peek, Jungkook.

-Yes, it's you! Are you okay? He crouched and then helped me sit down.

I looked up at him, he was still crouching with a worried expression on his face.

-Yes, I'm okay, I'm just embarrassed to death. I whispered and...he laughed. He freaking laughed, okay yes, I would have done the same. He was laughing so hard, he had a hard time catching his breath.

Thank you Jungkook, thank you, I'm totally not 100 times more embarrassed than before. I just looked down, actually hoping to develop some invisibility power and just disappear.

Other footsteps...

-Yah, yah, Jungkookie, calm down, the person said and actually helped me get up, making me face him. I had a hard time getting up...my legs were so numb.

Jimin.

-Hey, nice to see you again! Are you okay? he said, looking concerned

No, I am not okay. Bip, bip, biiiiiiiiiip. Arrest. I had three heart attacks since I came to Korea...yes, I am counting them.

-N-Ne...Thank you.

That's when it hit me...

The fangirl inside of me: he remembered me... I, now, live in Jimin's memory. KYAAAAAAA!

The other members approached too and Jungkook finally stopped laughing. He wiped his tears and stood up. Was it that funny? I gave him a death glare and I internally gave one to myself. Just then I realized that they were all looking at me.

- I'm really sorry for disturbing your practice, please don't mind me and continue. I said as bowed to them.

Areum-ah let's just get out! Escape!

-Aniya~ We were done anyways! Said Jungkook. Guys, this is Areum, a new model, and my new friend!

I'm going to kill him.

Friend? Boy, we just met!

-Annyeonhaseyo. I said and I bowed again.

-Annyeong! They all said

-Nice to meet you, Taehyung approached and extended his hand. Jungkook's friends are our friends too! He gave that huge adorable smile of his.

 I couldn't help but automatically smile back at me as I shook his hand.

-My pleasure! I said

The others just slightly bowed and presented themselves... I already know more than you think guys...I already embarrassed myself, I don't want to creep them out too...thinking about all the memes that I have on my phone...oh god.

-Come and sit with us, Jungkook took my hand and dragged me with him.

Boy, I just want to get out!
