The school's theatre bustled with energy and excitement as each person did their own thing getting ready for the performance on that night. The actors and actresses crowded the dressing rooms, changing and putting on makeup to further accentuate their appearance.

People were beginning to fill in the theatre, the students who had been assigned as ushers and usherettes greeted them welcomingly.

Then we had you, who had been struggling carrying the last few pieces for the vines that were to be attached to Juliet's balcony.

"Where the hell is Jungkook when you need him?" You questioned aloud while dodging the people who had been getting in your way. Apologizing for those you had accidentally bumped shoulders with while trying to hold the vines in your arms.

You finally got to the place where they stored the other props that would be used later on in the performance.

"Why the hell did they have me make so many vines when the ladder isn't that long?" You groaned and began to make your way towards the ladder that was propped against the wall. Grabbing your wires and tape, you hurriedly attached the green vines, attempting to cover it up as much as possible.

You were half way through the ladder, you decided that setting it down on the floor would make things easier. Someone's footsteps against the floor had caused you to look back at the entrance.

Bursting through the doors was the red-haired boy that you had been looking for earlier. He was panting heavily as he jogged up to you, you went back to doing what you were working on earlier.

"I was looking all over for you," Jungkook said through his pants as he reached for another set of vines and began to help you out.

"I was too," You mumbled, using your teeth to rip a piece of tape from its casing, "You took forever, where were you?" You whined and he shot you an apologetic look.

You weren't buying it, he made you carry all the materials from one end of the stage to the other.

"I was helping out Sumin pick out a mask for her costume."

You were tempted to roll your eyes and for some reason, unconsciously, you had pulled a bit too hard on one of the vines and had accidentally torn it, you cursed loudly before reaching for the tape.

"Hey, I can help you-" You moved away from him and began to work to tape together the ripped vines, when you fixed it you made your way to the ladder, using your strength to prop it up against the wall.

"(Y/N), are you okay?" You felt Jungkook's presence behind you but you continued to ignore him. Detering your gaze from as you reached for one of the last two vines. He put his hand on your shoulder causing you to slightly look at him.

"I'm perfectly fine," You told him, "Why don't you help Sumin? Maybe she needs your help putting on the damned mask." You were surprised by your own words but tried your best to keep a straight face. You noticed the way Jungkook's eyes widened but a soft chuckle escaped his lips, you grew more infuriated with and spun back to the ladder.

You felt Jungkook's hand squeeze your shoulder and you shrugged it in attempts to get rid of him. He had the nerve to laugh at you which made you even more upset at him. You had no idea why you were upset at the first place.

"Who would have thought?" What he said had confused you, but you refused to say anything. Instead, you continued with your work, nearly done and you knew that you would have finished earlier if he didn't get in your way.

You found yourself being spun around, you were facing him now, the annoyed look on your face was still there, clashing with his amused one.

"What the hell do you want?"
