BTS - Behind The Showbiz

Music To My Ears 1 - Jungkook

The quaint and rustic feel of this town drew Jungkook in straight away as they drove through it on their way to the hotel. Although the traffic had been bad because of the many one way streets, for once Jungkook didn't mind because it let him observe the beauty of this place a little longer. He knew that as soon as they were settled in he'd have to have a better look around.

So that's what he did.

The town was just as beautiful as he'd expected it to be. Once the grimy windows and stuffy coach air were removed, the town just seemed to ooze even more beauty – and he loved it.

As he repositioned his backpack, he heard the sound of his pencils rattling and he got a rush of excitement. What should he draw first?

He was just admiring the buildings and the atmosphere when he walked onto what must be the main street – for the throng of people was almost intimidating. His nerves grew all of a sudden and he checked the hat and mask that he was wearing, but he didn't let his nerves get the best of him; he would enjoy himself while he was there.

Although the hat likely wouldn't have received much attention on a sunny day such as this, he could still sense that he was receiving a number of looks, and knew that the mask was likely the reason behind this. He pretended not to notice; he'd been to Europe before and knew that the presence of these masks was uncommon. The only thing that mattered to him was that he wasn't recognised.

The main street continued for a little while before it opened up into a square, and a multitude of performers were causing this part of the town to be just as crowded as the streets that led up to this area.

He observed some of the performers as he made his way around, but it was one in particular that caught his eye. He stopped walking and folded his arms as he observed her from afar.

She had a tall, slim build, but didn't seem to be taller than him, though it was hard to tell with her hectic movements. As she danced energetically in her select area, he was mesmerised, and couldn't believe that she didn't have more of an audience. Her shorts seemed to accentuate the form of her legs and it seemed to make her movements all the more captivating.

It seems he'd only just caught the end of her performance because the music soon stopped and she bowed as a few people around her clapped. She thanked the people who gave her some money for her performance and then walked over to, what he assumed was, her stuff. Much to his surprise, there was also a microphone stand. Surely she wasn't about to sing?

Indeed, the next thing she did was grab the microphone with such force as the next song started, and her voice was just as powerful as her movements. As she stood there unmoving with mic in hand, he just knew he had to try and attempt to draw her passionate expression.

He sat down on a nearby bench; the view wasn't head on, but he always did find side views more alluring, even if he wasn't always getting it spot on perfect. He especially believed it would be case this time, seeing as she wouldn't be still for long and also wanted to include the old buildings in the background.

Jungkook got to drawing as fast as he could, primarily focusing on her form and especially her face at first, as he could focus on the buildings in the background after. Surprisingly, the transition of her from real life onto paper through his hand was easy. He'd feared he wouldn't make it in time after she finished the song, but she went straight onto singing another one, giving him a bit more time.

He could swear their eyes met a few times as she turned her head to look over at him, but the distance was too great to tell and she was looking around the whole square intermittently.

After the second song finished, there was a momentary pause. As he'd just finished drawing her he was now focusing on the buildings behind her, and he could see that she was clearly deciding what song to put on next. After she'd reached her decision, she once again took centre stage and began to dance.
