HERMOSA

Jaebum was watching GOT the Stage performed by Jinyoung, Mark and Yugyeom with Paradise song. He smiled as he quietly clicked like on the video. He watched them dancing through the light and singing the song harmonically. He was silently felt proud with them. He knew that they all has the talent and can do it on their own. Jinyoung is so much reliable and he thought that he was making a good decision.

Suddenly, the memory about the night he was scolded by JYP came into his mind. He sighed.

"Jaebum, I think you better leave the group. I don't think we can keep you in more longer. You should move out from the dorm. Don't worry about other members, no. Don't ever think about other members. They can succeed by themselves. You only need to think about yourselves and find your own life outside there." Said JYP. "Why? Why did you take me in if you are going to kick me out later?" Jaebum asked, his anger was increasing.

"I'm about to do it later, but the sooner the better." JYP replied. "What?" Jaebum asked totally shocked. That moment, all the hard times he has been through during his trainee days were like nothing. They don't even know what all the trainee has been feeling and they has to accept all the judging look, hate comments and criticize from people around them. None of the staff know that. Even JYP know nothing.

Jaebum close the tab after logging out from his account. He turned off the computer and lied down on his bed. He looked at the ceiling. "I don't need to think about them. They can do on their own." He said repeatedly until he finally fell in deep sleep.

Jaebum walked into the class and looked at Dahyun's place. It still empty. ' she hasn't come yet? Am I too early? ' He thought to himself. Dahyun came into the class from the back door and she has her head down looking at the floor. Jaebum just looked at her until she sat down on her chair. She looked at Jaebum then looked to the front again. "H-Hi.." Jaebum greeted her and again, shock expression was written on her face. 

"H-Hi? To me?" She asked and Jaebum totally confused with the girl. "Yes, to you. To who else should I say hi?" Jaebum asked back. "Well..." Dahyun looked down on her desk. Jaebum kept the confuse expression on his face. Suddenly, few girls shouting from outside the class. "JAEBUM OPPA!!! PLEASE LOOK HERE!!!" One of them shouted. "JAEBUM OPPA!!!!" Another girl shouted. But Jaebum just ignored them and kept his head down.

Dahyun was shocked to see the girls outside her class shouting at someone like that. It never happens before. She looked at Jaebum. "Jaebum?" She asked and Jaebum looked at her. "Is that you?...Jaebum they have been calling, is that you?" Dahyun asked still in shocked. "Well.." Jaebum laugh nervously. "Wow, you just moved yesterday and today you already has a fans. You are totally great." Dahyun said and showed him two thumbs up.

"What are you talking about? I have haters more than fans." Jaebum said and lower his gaze. "Are you really that popular? Heol! That even more great. A lot of people are jealous with you." Dahyun said. Jaebum smiled. "People always say like that, when someone hate us, they are just jealous but actually no. They hate my existence there. They don't even want to see my face, they don't want to hear my voice. They don't want me to do anything even breathing." Jaebum said as he looked up at Dahyun.

"But, you are still lucky. You have those people who you can call haters or fans. People still have a feeling for you, either hate or love." Dahyun said and Jaebum looked at Dahyun. He smiled. "People do still acknowledge you." Dahyun continued as her voice decreasing. Jaebum looked at her confused. ' why is this girl is so complicated and confusing? '  Jaebum said to himself.

"Okay class. I have a group project for you to do. Each group consist two members and I already choose who is your partner." The teacher said, received a lot of sighing and whining. Most of them don't like to be partnered. They are hoping that they got to choose their own partner. The teacher started to call the partner name. "Im Jaebum and Lee Chaeryeong." Said the teacher. Chaeryeong immediately looked back towards Jaebum and waving her hand motioning Jaebum to come to her place.

Jaebum sighed and slowly walked to Chaeryeong seat place. After everyone has been called, Jaebum realized that the teacher hasn't called Dahyun's name. He raised his hand up. "Yes Im Jaebum?" The teacher asked. "Don't you think you left anyone out?" Jaebum asked. "What? Everyone already has their partner. The day you came into this class, the number of the members become even." The teacher said confidently. "Are you sure? You haven't called Kim Dahyun yet." Jaebum said as he stood up. 

Dahyun looked up at Jaebum surprised with his action. The teacher looked at Jaebum confused. "Is there anyone name KIm Dahyun?" Asked the teacher. Dahyun who was already shocked become more shock when the teacher asked. She raised her hand up. "I-I am Kim Dahyun." She said while standing up. The teacher's expression is totally clueless. "Ah~ Kim Dahyun...I'm sorry but you have no partner. Then, I guess you just do the project alone. It's not that hard." Said the teacher and he picked up all his things. 

"No! She can't be left out. I'll be her partner." Jaebum said making everyone surprised including  Kim Dahyun. "Then, how about Chaeryeong?" The teacher asked Jaebum slightly daring him. "You said that the project is easy, she can do it alone." Jaebum said. He left Chaeryeong and went to Dahyun's place. "Whatever Im Jaebum. Make sure this project finished by next month." Said the teacher and left the class.

'Unbelievable. I never notice there's someone name Kim Dahyun.' . 'right, I was shocked when Jaebum mentioned her name just now.' There's whispered here and there.

Dahyun looked down on her desk as she just ignored those whispered. "They don't even notice that their whispered could be heard, how can they noticed you then..." Jaebum said and looked at Dahyun. "Actually. You don't have to do that. I already use to it. I once get partnered with someone and he didn't do even a single word on the project. So, I use to do it alone." Dahyun explained. "Why with you? Why are you so lonely and unnoticeable?" Jaebum asked.

Dahyun took a deep breath befor answering. "Since, 1st grade...no one ever know that I was exist. They always left me out. It's not like I never tried to make they notice me. They just never remember me. If I talk to them today, they will forget it tomorrow. Like I was just a stranger that pass by." Dahyun said. "I was surprised when you remember me after talking to me yesterday. Anyway, thank you. I feel appreciated." Dahyun said.

"You should be notice. How can they just left anyone like that. That's totally bad and rude. Don't worry, I will never leave you out and always remember you and notice you and..." Jaebum's words were cut by Dahyun's chuckled. "You don't have to. Having you wanted to talk to me is already make me feel grateful. I am so thankful to you." Dahyun said and continued to chuckled beautifully that mesmerized Jaebum.

' why did they leave someone who has such a beautiful chuckle like you? They are ungrateful people. '
