REAL MEN [진짜사나이] - COMPLETED!!

15화

Charging down the hallway and towards the practice room, Jungkook stopped in front of the slightly opened door. Quickly scoping out Sinb's whereabouts, he finally spotted her. Thinking of nothing else, he quickly paced through the practice room, grabbed her by the wrist, and quickly dragged her with all of his force.

Sinb: "What-- Yah! Where are you taking me?!" she tried to pull herself back with all of her body weight but knew she couldn't out beat Jungkook's strength.

The other female trainees in the room questioned each other as they wondered what the entire commotion was all about.

Not knowing where they could go talk in private, Jungkook continued to drag her into one of the closest studio recording rooms.

Sinb: "What the hell, Jeon Jungkook?!" she scolded as he slammed the door shut behind him. "What the hell's the matter with you?" she massaged her wrist.
Jungkook: "What's wrong with me?! What's wrong with YOU?" he asked her back. "Why are you doing this?"
Sinb: "What are you talking about?" unable to figure out what he's really asking.
Jungkook: "Why are you leaving?" he clarified.
Sinb: "Oh god, didn't we already have this conversation?" she rolled her eyes. "Well, what am I supposed to do? Wait? You know BigHit isn't planning to debut a girl group soon..."
Jungkook: "But Loen is... aren't they?" his eyes continued to pierce through hers.

Sinb: "Oh, so that's what this is about?" she kind of let out a little laugh.
Jungkook: "You think this is funny? Why are you keeping me out of the loop?"
Sinb: "Me? Keeping YOU out of the loop? You're one to say..." she was starting to rile up at this point. She didn't know what it was but it felt like Jungkook was turning the table on her and Sinb being Sinb... she didn't like that very much.
Jungkook: "Bang PD told me just now... You've accepted Loen's request"
Sinb: "Yeah, I did. Does that answer your question now? I mean, it's only normal that I look for a new agency and respond when the opportunity arises. They've given me some time anyway before I transfer over completely."
Jungkook: "How long?" he tested her.
Sinb: "A month, I think" she answered. "But I..." she began to say.
Jungkook: "But you're really leaving by the end of this week..." he helped her finish.
Sinb: "Yeah..." she reacted in a soft voice, eyes lowering to the ground in front of her.
Jungkook: "And you plan on just walking out without saying goodbye?" you could tell he was starting to get annoyed.
Sinb: "Why is it any of your business anyway?!" she shot back. "This is MY future. You're set here! I don't meddle in yours so why are you meddling mine?" her mouth about lost it.

The room went silent for awhile. Jungkook continued to look at Sinb who was staring back but not for long until her eyes diverted back onto the floor.

Jungkook: "Well..." his words finally broke the silence. "Good luck then" he made the attempt to conclude their conversation.
Sinb: "Thanks" she softly responded, glancing at him as he turned to face the door. "Yah" she stopped him as he reached for the knob. "You're not going to tell anyone... are you?"
Jungkook: "It's none of my business" he replied in a cold voice before walking out the door.

Sinb's heart felt heavy. She felt apologetic. She wanted to tell him but she didn't want to make a big deal out of it. What would be the point of it anyway? It's not like he cared. More importantly, he was just a friend... another trainee she's come to know over the years. Besides, he already has a lot going on his plate. He has a girlfriend... someone he cares about already. Sinb didn't want him worrying about her future.

As he paced down the corridors, Jungkook wondered why he was so angry. Even if Sinb is leaving BigHit by the end of this week, shouldn't he be happy for her? Is he really mad because she's yet to tell him? Or is it because she's no longer going to be by his side? What feeling is this? He wondered.
