Jimin was preparing his bag for tonight's dress rehearsal.

He was thinking hard, in an attempt to smother the anxiety that was slowly building up in his mind... trying not to dwell on these ideas too much...

But he couldn't help thinking that there's this point in a starting relationship when trust is some kind of a counter effect...

When you get to know each other, little by little, you learn about the other's personality and they learn about you.

As you are gradually accepting and being accepted, some kind of comfort and trust builds up... which has a reverted effect at some point, and fears return...

Paradoxically, you start to be afraid again.

Because once all the surface knowledge about you has been addressed by small talk, you are scared that, when people get to know your true self, they might change their point of view on you, for the worse... and start mistrusting who you are... or what you are...

They would listen to what others would say about you, rather than trusting your own words with them...

What if he didn't like me any more after I disclosed particular facts about me?

About the real, real me?

My not-so-great true self?

The Jimin who could do nothing - but dance?

Who was too dumb to see that his sweetheart was in love with someone else?

The short, baby-faced, pouty-lipped, kid-like boy?

His looks were so plain.

He simply got no jams.

And he could only be himself...

Jimin had a growing fear that his prince would like him less and less as he would get to know him further and further...

His heart was seized with anxiety as he thought of it...

How could anyone be interested in him?

He had nothing – nothing to wonder about...

Nothing to marvel at...

He was just a plain, average, dull guy...

Surely Hae Wong would ditch him when he would realize he was just a plain guy...

His dream love story would stop for certain, and he would get dumped...

The pang in his heart grew bigger each time he thought of it...

He brought a hand to his chest, trying to smother it.

Tears were starting to brim his eyes as both his train of thoughts and the pain he felt from it grew on ...

That's when his phone rang.
