December 13th 2013 - BTS's Dorms

Hearing nothing, she began to worry if something has happened to him. With no hesitation, she barged open the door only to find him in his bed sleeping, his fingers loosely wrapped around a sketchbook and a pencil on top of the book.

*

Lena knew that the boys were tired from practice and lessons as well as other work all day, these passed few days. And yet, they still decide to throw a party and are energetic as heck.

'How?' She questioner herself. Of course, there's no answer.

Lena quietly tiptoes towards Jungkook's bed, not wanting to wake him up. And being little ole' curious Lena she is, she takes a tiny sneak peek and his sketch book.

She unconsciously lets out a slight gasp in awe. This made Jungkook stir a bit in his sleep, ever so slowly waking up.

His eyes first meets Lena's making him jump in surprise and confusion.

'Why is Lena Noona in my Room!?' He internally screamed. And for some reason, the thought of her spying on him sleeping never crossed her mind.

Like seriously? Even if Lena is a good actress and doesn't act like a fangirl in front of them, he doesn't question that thought at all!?? Anyways, back to the situation at hand...

"Ahh... sorry if I scared you... I just wanted to tell you that the guys are doing a horror movie night in case you wanted to join as well" Lena informed Jungkook timidly.

"Ah- Um, I see... thanks for telling me. I'll be out in a few minutes" Jungkook replied.

A moment of awkward silence.

The silence was broken by Lena when she remembered about Jungkook's drawings. She was very interested in art. She did do art in her high school years together with her best friend but she never pursued a career in it as it was just a hobby to her.

She was more into dancing and styling. She loved performing on big, large stages, gaining the attention of many. However, she never got to become a professional dancer after a certain accident. So instead, she became an instructor at Korea's top famous school.

"So... is that your drawing? It's very good" Lena started.

"Thanks..." Jungkook replied, blushing and getting embarrassed at someone looking at his own work. Not even his fellow members saw him draw seriously. They only most likely saw doodles here and there.

It was a drawing of Lena. She was looking into the distance as she did a dance pose. Flower petals falling around her and what appeared to be stage lights drawn on her figure. It was very detailed and it looked professional.

An unexpected tear rolled down Lena's cheek. The drawing was a depiction of her dreams that were now unattainable. It was what she yearned to be. A professional dancer on some big, famous stage, lights illuminating her figure.

The sudden expression of Lena's face made Jungkook panic.

"Uh- Um- Ah- Eh- Hm- Le- Lena N-Noona? Are y-you okay?" He stuttered. He didn't know how to deal with crying girls.

Being awakened from her trance, she quickly wiped away the tears staining her clear, light face, nodding ever so slightly.

"Yeah... sorry about that. Please, forget you ever saw it" Lena said turning her back to him, taking a step to leave the room.

"Ah- Wait! No- Uh- I mean-" Jungkook once again stuttered. Lena turned her around facing him slightly tilting it in confusion.

"Well- I can't just forget it like that. You obviously didn't look okay. Was it something about the drawing? Was it bad? I'm sor-" He got cut off in the middle of his rambling by Lena.

"No no. It's nothing like that. The drawing was really good. You could become a pro with that sort of talent"

"Ah thank you... But why did you cry? If it helps... you can always talk to me if you want" Jungkook suggested. He was genuinely worried for his Noona.

Lena stayed silently looking at the floor.

"It's nothing much. But thanks. That really helped" Lena kindly declined. She couldn't tell anyone her troubles because that would only reveal her secret and identity. She couldn't risk having to leave the guys or having them hate her for lying to them.

Jungkook looked unimpressed.

He knew his Noona was lying to him about her being okay and that it was nothing special.

"Hey Noona, you know, I sometimes get the feeling that you're always hiding something from us. Something very big. Even during dance practice when we were making the choreography for our new song, it felt like you were hiding something... Noona, what are you hiding from us?"

Lena was shook. To think her innocent little Kookie was this perceptive and observant. But she couldn't act suspicious and stay silent for long.

"What are you talking about Kookie? How could I ever hide something from you guys. You're like my family now so there's no way right?" She tried to it play off, even though she was sweating profusely and internally panicking.

"... If you say so..." Jungkook reluctantly said. He wanted to get answers but he didn't want to push Lena into saying something she wasn't comfortable with.

"Ahaha. I know so. Now let's go! We got a movie night to attend to!" Lena stated with a big grin on her face to which Jungkook smiled at and left the room.

Lena waited for him to leave pass the door first then she started heading out. Quietly, she solemnly mumbled,

"...I'm sorry Kookie..."
