CHANGED

2. Our first separation

"Jungkook, we are very sorry, but we don't think you can debut. You may feel being underrated because of your great vocal. However, you dance like a robot. You have no emotion at all." - The debuting board give Jungkook an evaluation after seeing his individual performance.

"I... I'm sorry. I really want to debut. Please give me a chance. I can do whatever. But, please let me debut." - Jungkook is begging within the freaking out face.

The board tells Jungkook to leave the room. And, they starts their discussion secretly.

There are so many opposite opinions about Jungkook's situation. Vocal coach is protecting Jungkook the most because he believes Jungkook has the top potential to become a main vocalist. On the other hand, dancing coach and general coach seems not very pleased about Jungkook's performance. After a long discussion, nobody agrees with each other. Therefore, they all turn toward Bang PD since he is the top management in the room.

Bang PD sighs and looks at them face-to-face. He says: "Jungkook is just too young. For such a young age, his experiences are minimal. I think we can improve his dancing by sending him to America in a year. But what I'm worrying is that he can't stopped being shy in front of people, especially unfamiliar people. Can he really handle this when debuting? I doubt it."

Everyone agrees with Bang PD, and almost everyone in the room think that Jungkook can't debut. However, because vocal coach tries hard to keep his best student by all possibilities, Bang PB gives out the final decision - Jungkook will stay in America for a year to learn dance and will have a RE-evaluation after he finishes.

***
Jungkook finally has his evaluation letter. He now knows that he will need to leave Korea and flight to America next week. Jungkook is happy because he still has a change to debut. However, he is sad because he may not debut in the same group with his hyungs, or maybe he will be kick out of BigHit if he does horrible study in America. And, one more important thing only Jungkook knows - he doesn't want to leave his confidence, his Taehyung hyung here in Korea. Jungkook can't imagine how he can leave without Taehyung.

However, whatever has to come will come. Nobody can stop anything surely happens to not happen. Jungkook still needs to go to America.

***At the airport***
Jungkook is hugging his hyungs one by one. He is an un-talkative boy, so he can't say anything to his beloved brothers. However, his red eyes show everything. And, his hyungs all understand him without him saying anything.

The last person Jungkook hugs is Taehyung. Taehyung is not like Jungkook. Taehyung on the other side is a very sensitive person. Taehyung can easily feel emotional and start crying. This time is not an exception for Taehyung. He looks at Jungkook with a face covering by tears. His teary eyes look like he is loosing something so important to him.

Taehyung just cries nonstop. That's why he can't even say a single word to Jungkook until the younger leave them.

***America***
On the first day in America, Jungkook has no power to do anything. He feels so lost and lonely. He misses every hyung in BigHit and all the staffs. And, he specially misses Taehyung. He doesn't like to talk, so he hardly makes any friend here. That just makes him miss Taehyung even more.

"Taehyung, Taehyung, Taehyung" - Jungkook whispers silently every night to himself.

Jungkook misses Taehyung so bad. But, he doesn't know that on the other side of Earth, Taehyung is missing him, too. Jimin is very worried about Taehyung because his best friend rarely eat anything after Jungkook went to America. Jimin worries that within this high level of practicing, how can Taehyung stay healthy without eating.

Not only Jimin, others are worrying about Taehyung, too. Because vocal couch wants Jungkook to focus on his studying abroad, he suggested the manager not giving Jungkook cell-phone. That's why nobody has Jungkook's updates, except coaches and Bang PD.

This is just like a huge punishment to both Taehyung and Jungkook. How could they endure their pain in a year? Jungkook is mentally ill while Taehyung is physically ill. Both of them are painfully missing each other.
