BECOMING HUMAN

CHAPTER 16

"Stay like that, Jungkook!" Allen snapped a few photos before telling him to switch poses. Jungkook dropped the board on the ground and pulls his hands inside his sleeves. Lifting one hand to his lips, he leaned his head to one side and made a puppy face. "Yes, Jungkook, that is very cute!"

The girls stood on the side nodding in agreement with Allen. Once Allen lowered his camera, one of the girls came into the photoshoot.

"Alright, Aisha. Sass up the picture for me."

"You got it, boss." As Aisha responded, she glanced at Jungkook who kept his eyes on the camera. Aisha tried on few occasions to speak to Jungkook, but he was so stale and so stiff that she was scared to approach him; unlike the other girls who boldly flaunted their looks on him. But Jungkook wouldn't pay them any mind. Aisha felt so honored to be next to such a hot guy. And it made her wonder about Jungkook.

Once the photoshoot finished, Jungkook went on his way to the lounge for lunch break. He bought a snack from the vending machine and peeled it open. Jungkook at this point was familiar with the unique action of eating. He actually enjoyed everything he ate. Almost everything. Aisha and the girls soon came in as the AI sat at a table. Pulling out a phone he had recently bought, his thoughts were to call Aurora. But Aurora didn't have a cellphone. And he totally forgotten to request the phone number for the apartment at the front desk when he had first bought the apartment.

"...crap." He whispered.

"Jungkook!!!" One of the girls named Ivory pulled a chair out from the table and sat in front of him. The rest of the girls followed suit.

"Oh, hey girls." Jungkook smiled kindly.

All of them felt their hearts melting from his radiating lips.

"You don't mind if we sit with you, do you?" Corina asked.

"No, it's fine. It's pretty lonely sitting alone, anyways."

"You should have asked us to join you earlier, then you wouldn't be alone." Avlyn grinned.

"I honestly didn't think about that back then. I was so used to just doing things on my own, that after some time it just started getting weird.

"Welcome to the world of being a model," Ivory rose her hands in the air, leaning back in the chair.

"Amen to that, sister." Corina sighed.

Aisha peeked inside, seeing the girls already crowding him. She felt intimidated to go in and engage in conversation with them—especially because Jungkook was the center of attention. Ivory turned and grinned at Aisha. "Oh, Aisha! Come, join us—"

Corina swings a chair in between them and slaps the seat. "Come here, girl!"

Sighing to herself, she calmed down and walked in and sat.

"Meet this cutie named Aisha!" Corina wraps her arm around Aisha's neck and pulls her in, causing her to gag a bit. "She's the angel of the group! She's sweet, she's cute, and on top of that—" Corina leans in as though she was telling a juicy secret. "She's a virgin."

"Hey!!!" Aisha blushed profusely, yanking herself out of Corina's grasp.

All the girls laughed at her.

Jungkook couldn't find what was so funny. "A virgin?" He asked befuddled.

"Yeah, you sound interested." Avlyn teased.

Aisha lowered her head in shame and exhaled.

"No, not really."

"Ouch."
