8- He was Happy When He Saved You

All of us exit from the door that faces the audience's back. Although there are still witnesses noticing the boys, their mouths are promised to be shut after the boys gesture at them to keep quiet. "Where is Jimin?" Namjoon asks while Taehyung shrugs. All the boys pull up their masks to temporarily hide their identities. "He's supposed to be here by now, call him." Yoongi nods as he immediately fishes out his mobile phone. Hugging myself with my arms, I avert my gaze to where Jungkook is standing, examining the way he performs in awe. Apparently, Jungkook has finished his solo dance of their songs from 2013 to 2015. Yet, everyone still, hopes for 2016 songs.

The music ends and Jungkook's breath is audible when he pants hard. "Kamsa hamnida for watching the first part of my performance." He thanks the crowd in English. "Now, what song should I sing next?" The idol offers the microphone to the audience when the fan girls start to give him a variety of suggestions by screaming.

"Jungkook, sing Fire!"

"Jungkook, sing Blood, Sweat and Tears!!"

"Jungkook..."

The place becomes extremely hot and noisy with cheers and suggestions given by the spectators. Everyone seems to only focus on Jungkook right now and by the time Jimin gathers with the five boys, their appearance is still stayed as a secret. Gasping and panting hard with a smile still plastered on, I manage to notice how exhausted the Korean idol looks. However, his bunny-like smile has covered all these expressions perfectly. I remember that Jungkook had mentioned about ARMY's support is also a great motivation for him to keep going, so I'm starting to worry that he will overwork himself out.

"Everyone please shimmer down." The director reveals from the 'backstage' and claps his hands to draw people's attention, also, calming down the crowd. "Jungkook have to take a short rest." After Jungkook nods and retreats, I can see how the director has been gesturing at the boys during his speech. With his hand still grabbing on mine, Jin leads me toward the front from the side to remain unseen. Not far away from where we're standing, I can see a chair with a paper being placed on it. The word 'reserved' is written in block letters on that paper. As for the rest of the boys, they've hidden back to the stairs with the door closed.

Jin points at the empty chair and I nod with my lips pursed. As I take my stride towards the reserved place, Jin has hurriedly run back to where we've been coming from. Upon hearing the director, everyone tries to calm down and keeps quiet. All of their gazes are locked on the person onstage. The director chuckles while he continues, mentioning that there will be a huge surprise given to all of us, even Jungkook. His mysterious tone is making the audience even more curious until by the time I take my seat, no one is actually paying any attention on me with suspicious glares.

After approximately five minutes, Jungkook jogs out from where he's resting with a mineral water in his hand. He grins widely at the audience when there are girls calling loudly for his name. When his gaze meets mine, his smile turns into a wide grin when I returns it with a huge smile. We wave at each other and at this time, a part of me is convincing myself not to bother those jealous looks and whispers from the mean girls. The director turns to eye the young idol as both of them start having their conversation in Korean. During the wait, some of the students have already left with excuses to buy some food and drinks.

As the Korean boy's rest time is over, he runs back onstage with a wide grin, being welcomed by affectionate chants by the fan girls once again. The director hands him the mike before disappearing into the door behind the large crowd. "I've considered all of your suggestions on my next song, fellow ARMYs." Jungkook starts. "And I have made up my mind." His speech is driving the girls and some boys crazy as I'm also losing the patience bit by bit. Without announcing the name of the song, Jungkook snaps his finger instead.
