Behind The Curtain ~ BTS (Wattys 2018)

•chapter twenty-one•

Jungkook POV
I'm at the studio rehearsing a duet with Da-eun for this charity concert. We're partnered with singing and dancing along with hobi, jimin and Taehyung; however, practice only consist of us two. An early morning studio session turned into a dance rehearsal after a few hours.

She kept stumbling on a twisting bit but got a hang of it s bit as I showed her while guiding her feet. "There you go" we made it through the dance routine successfully but practiced it one last time. The floor became slippery from the sweat and water that spilled a bit on the floor; Both idols fell whilst holding onto each other with loud laughter. "I'm so sorry" she giggled and he shook his head "it was my fault.."

neither one moved and silence overcame them, the female that was above the older male slowly leaned down and connected their lips. Jungkook responded back to the collision but immediately stopped after realizing what was happening. Noticing he stopped responding to her kisses, Da-eun immediately stood up and apologized but the boy sat stunned on the floor. He had the same thought repeating in his mind, did he just cheat on Jade. Silence filled the room followed by a wave of an awkward and uncomfortable atmosphere. He heard loud voices outside of the doorway which startled him, the door opened and revealed a Korean-American female. "Hello, im Bailey...nice to meet you guys" she bowed to both idols before placing the boy band and girl group in their respective places and teaching a new dance routine.
*****************************
As rehearsals ended, Jade appeared. The boys wondered why she was there and how she got there. "You came when practice over!" Bailey whined and everyone stood in shock. "You guys know each other?" Namjoon asked and they nodded. "I bumped into her in a store lately. She was with him, so i assume y'all knew each other" Bailey pointed to hobi and the boys nodded. "She speaks perfect English" hobi whispered to suga. "That's all for today, great job. Brian should be here tomorrow for the continuation" they all began to leave but Bailey paused jungkook and waited for everyone to leave. "I saw you and that girl, and I know that you and my best friend are dating" she glared at the maknae. "No, it wasn't--" he began but she cut him off. "I'm telling her" the maknae began panicking. "I didn't kiss her back" he half heartily lied. The dancer glared at me, "you laid there letting her kiss you" kookie looked for words but his panic state made it difficult. "I was shock.." the girl smirked "so was I" she walked away from the youngest member who's now paranoid by her actions.
Just tell Jade, jeongguk, it's not your fault....but you kissed her back, you didn't...but you didn't pulled away.
You should've but you didn't
You could have but you didn't.

"Baby boy?" Jade came back in the studio seeing her lover blanked out. "Huh?" A small chuckle came to her face "stressing?" He shrugged and she pouted. "come on, you don't want us get caught." He paused her and turned her around to him. "Jade.." he began but her round golden orbs and cute features shut him up. "Kookie?" "I love you.." he whispered instead and she smiled and kissed him softly. "I love you too, babyboy...now come on whilst outside is clear" she pulled up the facial mask and lowered her cap and she sneaked into the car. Guilt began bubbling up in me and I tried calming down by convincing myself that I didn't made the first move and I didn't encourage her actions but nothing seems to work...at all.
