Step Step

thirteen;

Jimin is practising passionately in the practise room with other members. They sing while dancing to their songs like it's a real performance.

Bangtan is preparing for their Gaon Chart Award's performance which is on tomorrow when Jimin suddenly cough hard and stops what he's doing immediately.

The members look at him with concern face but he signals them to continue the practise without him while he walks to grab his water bottle.

He gulps the water and wince in pain. "Ahh it's hurt", he bits his lip. His throat is not in a good condition and he can't move his neck like normal as the muscle is in pain.

Namjoon looks at him from afar and asks if he's okay. Jimin nods and shows him a thumb up. He's back to the group and continue the practise like it's nothing.

They just finished their concerts
few hours ago and Jimin knows it well, if he's not present because of his condition right now it's going to bring Bangtan's spirit down as everyone plays their own part in performance.

Each of them is important.

He's trying hard to practise like usual and pretends that he's alright.

Sometimes his mind think about her. "Does she hurts too?" as TWICE also just finished their 3 days concert and he knows girls and boys stamina are very different.

He silently hopes that his girl and the others are fine so that they can meet in good condition tomorrow.

Bangtan sit on their reserved seat few feets away from TWICE. Jimin tries to act normal as cameras are around them but deep inside, he's really curious about her.

She doesn't text him for few days already and he wonders if something is going on.

The award ceremony starts and Namjoon keep reminding Jimin and Jungkook to always behave and not to do something too obvious. Jimin smirks because of what Namjoon has said "Hyung, tell that to Hoseok hyung. He's the one who always makes thing obvious"

Hoseok rolls his eyes "It's because love is in the air you know. I can't help it but to feel excited", he says in the loud cheer and music behind.

Other members just nod agree to what Hoseok says except Jungkook and Jimin who try to hide their shyness.

All fans go crazy everytime the cameras are on them or EXO. It just shows how popular they are. Jungkook and Jimin can't help but to silently fanboying when TWICE is on stage, performing right in front of them.

The loud cheers from the fanboys make Jimin gulps his saliva and hold his fists tightly - he hates that cheers the most but Mina might think the same whenever he gets loud cheers from his fangirls. He tries to think positively.

It's the most exciting time when the MC announces that TWICE win the award for Digital Award for both songs, TT and Cheer Up. It's expected.

As the girls walk to the stage, Bangtan can't help but to feel proud. It shown all over their faces watching TWICE giving their acceptance speech.

Jimin naturally shows his thumb up as sign TWICE has done a good job eventhough Mina don't really notice it. She always keep her head down whenever she's in front or around of BTS - not wanting to make eye contact with him.

Mina knows that Jimin always try to seek for a chance to has an interaction with her but she will never allow it. Things need to be under control for them because she knows that many eyes are watching.

She feels upset sometimes to ignore Jimin like she never knows him but he's always understand why she acts like that.

It's the best for both of them.

His eyes spark when he's watching she's standing on stage. She's mesmerizing and he loves it everytime she choose to stand behind or at the end not wanting any spotlight unless it's her turn to give the speech.

Jimin suddenly remembers the moment when she gives her speech in Japanese at Asian Artist Awards. He can't help but to smile like a fool and his eyes glued on screen when she's talking with her soft, comforting voice.

"Yaaa what are you thinking?", suddenly Hoseok nudge him with his elbow. Jimin is startles and grins awkwardly at his hyung. Hoseok manages to interrupt his sweet flashback.

"I thought you're sick?", Jin asks him and he nods "I am sick but not anymore"

The members just shake their heads knowingly - he has been healed by the power of love.

"We're going to perform next. Let's go", Namjoon says as one of the staff for the award ceremony comes and tells him so.

The music starts and loud cheers can be heard. Mina looks around her and notice the familiar lightsticks. It's belong to the Army. She feels proud as she's also their number one fan.

The boys give their best performing on stage with such choreographies. Mina knows how his condition has been as his voice sounds sick. Mina sighs sadly as she watches them performing like there's no tomorrow.

Bangtan always work hard and give their best and that's why they're such inspiration to other idols or her to be specific.

Mina bits her lips in guilty when she realises how she has been ignoring him for days. It's not that she purposely do so but it's because they've been controlled by the managers who always watch their practise time and how they spend their time on gadgets.

The managers has been so strict when TWICE is preparing for their first concert.

Preparing for a concert is tiring and she wonders how he survives all of that.

Maybe she needs to do something to heal him.
