It was 23rd of December and almost everyone went back home to spend Christmas with their family. Got7, however, cannot go back to their town knowing that their debut is just around the corner. I wonder how many Christmas had passed without them seeing their family, especially Jackson, Bambam and Mark who lived abroad. It must've been lonely. But I know all these sacrifices they are making are all worth it in the end.
Meanwhile, I was left alone in our dorm, still wrapping the gifts I prepared for the boys. It wasn't really special or expensive because we all know I'm not making money yet and I was really busy lately too so it was a bit rushed. But I tried hard to buy something they will like. I really hope they'll appreciate it.
I'm down with the last gift when I heard a knock from the door, from which I almost had a heart attack. I wonder who it was. Definitely not my brother because he's supposed to pick me up in the afternoon. No one would ever come to our room except for my roommates. Knowing all my roomies had left already this morning, curiosity suddenly hits me.
"Who is it?" I asked as I rushly run to the door.
As soon as I open it, a smiling JB welcomed me, seemingly shy as he's scratching the back of his head, "Hi!"
"Oh", a bit surprised, "What brought you here?"
Before he could answer, Jackson appeared out of nowhere and of course, expect that Bambam is right with him.
"We're inviting you for a lunch!", Jackson said, his eyes sparkling.
Bambam went in. It was so sudden that I couldn't even block his way.
"For whom is this?" Bambam asked, raising the halfy wrapped book I'm working on earlier.
"It wasn't for you", I said as I ran to him, gently getting it back from him.
"Yeah I know. I'm not a bookworm. Just curious for whom it is"
"Bambam, you're being too nosy", Jackson said as he goes in and comfortably sits on the little couch we had inside. "Oh, you've got 7 presents right here huh", he said, recounting the gifts to make sure he counted it right.
"You're telling Bambam he's being nosy but look at you doing the same", JB said, a bit concern.
"That's okay" I told JB, giving him an assuring smile, "Aren't you coming in too?"
He scanned my room before coming in. It actually took him a minute before he took a step in, as if going inside will kill him.
"Seven presents. We're seven. I won't assume it's for us", Jackson's words filled with sarcasm.
"So it's for us?" Bambam asked.
Ahh, these two!
"Aren't we asking her out for lunch?", JB practically saved me from the commotion.
It's not like I'm hiding it in on purpose to suprise them. But knowing these two, I know they will unwrap the gifts in front of me the moment I told it really was for them. That's actually what I wanted to avoid. I want to give it before I leave so I won't see their reactions.
"So are you going with us?" Jackson stood up from his seat, waiting for my answer.
"If that's for free then I will!"
"Of course! It's Jackson's treat", Bambam's rejoiced and Jackson showing the opposite.
"Kaja?", I asked Jackson, slightly teasing him.
Bambam and Jackson had their way out first while me and JB walked behind them.
"Was it for Jinyoung?" JB suddenly asked, almost a whisper.
"Huh?" I asked although I actually heard what he said.
"The book earlier, was it for Jinyoung?"
"Ah, yeah", I said, a bit embarassed.
"I see, you've got a good book. He'll like it.", he said it too casually, making it sound so unnatural.
"Really? I just saw him before, reading the same genre of book."
"You're a keen observer then"
"Was it a compliment?" I asked.
"Of course" and then he forced out a laugh.
"I got you a gift too. I just realized, I really don't know what you like."
"Maybe I wasn't too special to get worth of your attention."
I almost choked. "Are you serious?", I laughed with his joke, which I realized it wasn't really a joke.
I feel like talking with him more but we arrived at the lobby too fast.
The rest of got7 welcomed me with their smiles. I bowed to them and they did the same.
It was actually my first time to be with the whole got7 alone. Usually, I'm with Jiwon. It feels weird now to be in the same van with them.
Yugyeom and Bambam were the first one to go inside the van, both were seated at the front row.
"Hara noona, why don't you sit here?", Bambam asked.
"I feel like sitting at the 2nd row", I said, making an excuse.
I took the seat on the second row as I said. I sat beside the window. JB was the next one to hop in and thinking how close JB and I, I assumed he would sit beside me but he didn't, instead, he occupied the seat on the last row.
I know by that, something is not right.
"Why do Jiwon have to go home this early?" Jackson asked who was seated next to me.
"Her mother came to pick her up early."
"It feels like I haven't seen her for a long time already", he said as if he misses her, making me confused. Was he bluffing or does he really mean it?
"Well, you've been really busy these days. We barely see you around", I said.
"Why? Do you miss her?", Jinyoung asked, the same question I had in mind.
Jackson laugh, and hearing his laugh made me chuckled.
"I'm just saying I haven't seen the people we used to see at the JYP. You know, I'm sick of seeing you all!" Jackson exclaimed.
"Sorry but you'll see these faces forever", Jinyoung said.
Youngjae laughed from his statement, creating a loud echo inside the van.
"You don't have to laugh to my ear", Jackson complained, who has Youngjae seated on his other side.
"Sorry, sorry", Youngjae trying to calm his self.
JB seems to be quiet, I couldn't even see his reactions because he was seated at the back together with Mark and Jinyoung.
I'm not really close with the rest of got7. Next to JB, Jackson and Bambam were like my long time friends. So I thank Jackson for sitting beside me, he didn't make me feel that I'm out of place.
"Here we are!", Yugyeom exclaimed as we arrived.
We came out of the van, one by one. I waited for JB to come out and walked along with him, although I really didn't make it so obvious.
The rest are walking ahead of us, leaving the two of us behind them.
"What do you mean by not special?" I continued the conversation we had earlier. "Maybe I wasn't really paying attention enough because I was too comfortable being with you. But it doesn't mean you're not special! "
"Was it a compliment then? " he said, trying to mock me, which is a wrong move. "Am I supposed to thank you?" I rolled my eyes after hearting that. "Should I feel proud?" Strike three.
I already felt offended when he avoided to sit beside me. I try to understand that even if it seems like he left me alone. Actually, I don't want to make a fuss over a little thing but it felt like he intentionally did it to pissed me off.
Okay then.
