( Jungkook's POV )

"I still can't believe that you nearly kissed me", Yoongi hyung pouted while crossing his arms. 

"Yah, don't worry, I'll kiss you instead of him", Hobi hyung winked. 

Yoongi hyung's eyes widened in shock and shuddered at the thought of getting kissed by Hobi. 

Everyone in the table laughed hysterically as Hobi hyung started to tease Yoongi hyung with kisses in the air. 

However, I am not in the mood to have fun and laugh. I am troubled at the amount of hates we are receiving from other fandoms. We just had our comeback for not long and we are getting hate comments. Thanks to the haters, our comeback album, Dark & Wild, isn't receiving positive sales and results. It is a failure. 

I do not get how my other hyungs are coping this well. They seemed to go on with life normally whereas myself, a mental breakdown. To be honest, I would agree to an extend that I am more sensitive. I can't stand hate comments. Also, I have very high expectations of myself. I would usually work very hard to achieve my goal so as to succeed. But, once I don't, I would be very disappointed with myself and hence start to train really hard. Sometimes, I would even skip meals and breaks to improve myself. I am worried that I might be a burden in my group for not performing well. 

Okay... maybe I am overthinking too much and overexerting myself. This is just awful. Once I think, it can go really deep. 

"Jungkook, are you okay?" 

I did not respond.

"Helloooo? Jungkook ah- gwenchanna?" 

After several attempts to get my attention, I turned my head and realized it was Jimin hyung who was calling me the whole time. He furrowed his eyebrows and gave me a concerned look. 

"Ne...", I replied solemnly. 

Just as he sensed something wasn't right about me, he excused us for a while and then dragged me up to the balcony which was at the top. 

When we reached to the balcony, I was greeted by the cold wind blowing to my face. The temperature of the outside sent shivers down to my spine. I was wearing adequate number of layers to keep myself warm but I don't think it's effective. 

"So Jungkook, what's bothering you?"

"Nothing". 

"Stop lying, I know something is bothering you. I can tell it from your face straightaway! There's no point denying the fact", Jimin looked at me sternly and folded his arms.

I looked down and gulped. I don't like the feeling of making my hyungs angry. They can be super nice and friendly but when they're angry, it's a different story. 

"Fine... I am just worried about our comeback album sales and the hate we're receiving. It's just too much. I can't take it".

"Jungkook, look. I understand the troubles you're facing. Even I am facing them too!"

"No hyung, all of you can take it. You guys are still going on well and seems cool with it. But me? No I can't! Everyday, these thoughts are disturbing me. Ok maybe it's because of my sensitivity. You should know me very well. I tend to break down easily when- "

"Jeon Jungkook. Can't you listen to me first? Aren't we facing it as a team? I'm also stressed about all of those but sometimes, we got to ignore the haters and focus on the people who are supporting us. Why bother about their negative comments when you have the good ones? Praises motivates you but all those hate comments are pulling you down. Don't listen and bother to things which makes you uncomfortable. It will affect you. It's better to listen to encouragements and compliments from our fans which will make you feel good and better of yourself. It will keep you going. Tonight isn't the time to worry of those. It's a time for us to forget about those worries and have fun. Time to get wasted alright?", Jimin winked.

I sighed and nodded my head. 

Just as we were heading back to our seats, a drunk man holding a glass of red wine accidentally poured his drink on to my tuxedo. 

Oh lord...

"Ahahahhahahaha oopsies, looks like I poured my wine on you ~" the drunk man laughed. 

I stared at him in shock and looked down to my tuxedo. It was such a mess. 

"Oh my gosh, Jungkook! Are you alright?" , Jimin quickly came over, took some napkins from a nearby table and dapped on my tuxedo to reduce the mess. 

"Yea I'm okay". But inside of me, I'm boiling angrily. "I'll just head to the washroom to clean myself up".

"Do you need my help?"

"It's fine". 

I took the napkins from Jimin and headed to the washroom. 

~~

Stupid drunkard. Doesn't mean when you're drunk means you can be blind. What a blind fucker. Tsk. 

I wet the napkins in the running water and clean myself up. My tuxedo and pants are now drenched with red wine. Not only it is drenched, there is a strong smell of red wine too. I grumble in annoyance and throw the napkins into the dustbin. No matter how hard I tried to rub the stain away, it doesn't go off. 

Why doesn't anything go right for me?

I sighed and walked out of the washroom and headed back to where my hyungs were. While squeazing back to my seats, I noticed a familiar figure at the bar. Curiosity got the better of me and I decided to greet the woman. 

But as I walked closer to her, I realized who she was. She's the woman who kept on staring at me. 

"Hello...", I smirked. 

I saw the woman's face became shocked and instantly turned around to look at me. Although the lighting in the club was dim, I could see her eyes shinning beautifully. Her expression was pretty cute. 

"Oh...uhm...hello... May...I help...you?", that woman stuttered with her words. 

I continued smirking and sat down beside her. "I saw you staring at me non-stop earlier. Am I that attractive?"

Her eyes became wider and her mouth opened slightly bigger.

Cute...

"Hi excuse me, sir. Can I get one of your best shots?", I smiled to the bartender. 

"Sure no problem. Any preference?"

"Anything would be fine".

After ordering my drink, I turned back to face the woman. The most amusing thing was that she was still in a state of shock. 

"Wow... I guess I am that atttactive", I chuckled. 

"No...no... Wait, I mean yes, you are attractive but it's just that you look kind of familiar somehow. What's your name?" 

Just then, my drinks arrived and I gulped it all down. Nice... the bartender has a good choice. 

"Jeon Jungkook, my name is Jeon Jungkook", I smiled.

( Hye Rin's POV )

Jeon...Jungkook?? You mean that Jungkook from Busan?? Wasn't he my childhood best friend back in my hometown?? This couldn't be.... I thought he went to America?? 

Suddenly, tears started flowing down my cheeks and I started coughing. 

"Why are you crying?? I'm sorry if I hurt you or something. Does my name sounds sad?", Jungkook chuckled but then turned into a worried expression.

"No... where's your hometown?" I asked. Then I realized that my words are slurred and muffled. I think the drinks that I have taken earlier are starting to give an effect. 

"Busan, why?"

Oh my... oh my... Suddenly, memories of the past started flowing into my mind and the world started turning.

Just then, I blanked out.
