~Yoonmi's POV~

Jungkook and I went into the practice room and sat on the floor.

"Are you sure that you can help me? I mean, you have practice of your own, schoolwork, and sleep. You'll get exhausted." I asked
Jungkook laughed and put a hand on my shoulder. "I'll be okay. They don't call me the golden maknae for just anything. I did already warn you that this is a hard dance to learn, but I think you'll do great." He responded
"Thanks! Let's get to work then?" I exclaimed

We stood up and started to play the song. I stood back and watched him do the dance first. He looked so in tune with the music, not caring about anything else in the world at the moment. That's the kind of performer that I wanted to be. I watched as he continued the routine; he was right, there was a lot of difficult moves and footwork. I don't want to make him stay here all night, but I definitely will if I need to.

"Were you paying attention? I'm guessing that you already know the lyrics and how it should be sung yes?" He asked me
"Yes I was paying attention and yes, I am fairly confident in singing it." I answered
"Let me ask you a question then. Why do you not just sing it? Are you trying to prove something or is it something?" He questioned with his eyes fixed on me. His eyes turned from soft to hardened and serious
"What brought that on? I have nothing to prove. Nobody knows I exist, so it's not like I'm being compared to you guys. I just want to show them that I belong in the school, just like everybody else." I explained while stiffening up
"Then come over here and I will show you the beginning. On stage, I have backup dancers, but you won't. I will act as them now, but just be ready for me not to be there." Jungkook said

He had me stand in front of him with his hands on my shoulders. I turned my head to look at him, not knowing how close our faces actually were to each other. I turned back around quickly and let him guide me. The moves up until the chorus are not hard, so we had those down in a little less than a hour. It was approaching 7pm when we started on the chorus, after going over the beginning a few more times. When we started the 1st time the chorus was sung, that's when I started to struggle. Jungkook showed me the beginning jump multiple times, but I couldn't seem to get it right. He saw the struggle in my face, but kept pushing me. I needed this to be able to keep going. After that part came a lot of footwork. I knew that I could dance well, and I wasn't even trying to be cocky, but this was a whole new level of crazy.

It was past 9pm when I finally got through the chorus. I couldn't do it yet without messing up though; I just knew the basics. He stopped me to take a break, but I refused. I couldn't stop. I had to learn this. He threw me a water bottle and told me to drink before I passed out. I heard a knock at the door and all of the guys entered.

"How's she doing Kook?" Yoongi asked
"She's struggling with the footwork, but I'm sure she'll get it down soon." Jungkook said
I knew he wasn't lying, but it still hit me. "I'll be okay after I get it all." I said with enthusiasm
"Well, It's almost 9:30. Jungkook has school work and she has the audition, why not stop and just go with that? They gave us an early night, why not take advantage of it?" Namjoon spoke up
"But I'm already halfway there. I can learn it." I said almost begging
"Hyungs can go, I'll stay back with her. She'll get it. We won't be too late." Jungkook suggested
I saw Yoongi tense up a bit. "I don't know about that. I'd feel better if you both just came back." Yoongi spoke up
"Can I talk to her alone, we'll be out in a second." Jungkook asked

Jin was the first one to take the hint, so he shuffled everyone out the door and shut it behind him. Jungkook turned towards me and told me to sit down. His eyes were not like earlier, they were softer. We sat in silence for few seconds before I spoke up.

"I'll get it, I promise. Just a little bit longer please. I'm sorry if I'm making you tired or if you don't want to teach me anymore. I know that I struggle, but I want to do this." I ranted
"Yoonmi, we haven't been at this for longer than 3 and a half hours and you've already gone above what I expected you to learn.I feel nothing but happiness that you chose my song out of all them. But that's not what I wanted to tell you. You've been off lately, and I wanted to try and get you set straight. I used to be an introvert. I couldn't express myself to the rest of everyone, and sometimes it's still hard. I didn't tell anyone about my hard times that I have had. I don't want you to be the same way and push yourself past the limits that you think you have. Please stop for the night. Your voice is beautiful, focus on that. We can still learn the dance and you can show it later, but for now, promise me to stop. You have nobody that you need to prove anything to and nobody that thinks you can't do it." Jungkook spoke. He sounded like he got choked up a little way through, but composed himself quickly.

I started to cry, even though I should not have. Tears streaked my face before I could stop them. Jungkook wiped them away his his thumb and helped me stand up. He went over to my bag and picked up and facemask and hat. I slowly took them from him and put them on. I never expected him to be the one to speak to me like that. I guess I needed it. Who knows how long it took him to learn the dance, and I was trying to learn it in one night. I felt insane. Not only did I push myself, I pushed him too. I felt selfish. We walked out of the room, him in front of me with his hands on my shoulders, rubbing them lightly. I heard whispers coming from the members and none of them said anything to me.

When we got to the car, I slid in the backseat closest to furthest window. Jungkook sat next to me and Yoongi next to him. I felt Yoongi reach over and put his hand on my hand, but that only made me cry more. I did want to prove something. I wanted to prove to Yoongi and everyone that I could do it, that I was ready, but I guess that crashed and burned. I kept my crying quiet so that I didn't bother anyone, but the tears wouldn't stop. Jungkook patted my head and smiled at me. All of the guys, besides Jin since he was driving, looked back at us multiple times and asking if I was okay. I never did answer any of them.

We got back to the dorm and since it was an early night, Jin said that he would make food tonight. Everyone took turns in the showers and I locked myself in the studio. It was basically soundproof, so I finally cried out loud without anyone asking if I was okay or trying to comfort me. I knew that I needed to get this off of my chest. They knocked on the door multiple times to tell me that food was ready, but I didn't move. I got into my suitcase and pulled out the Yoongi doll and hugged it while I tried to calm myself down. All of them knew the code to get in here, but nobody entered, probably for my privacy. The first person to enter was not Yoongi, but it was Taehyung. He didn't say anything to me, but he sat next to me and held my head to his chest. I cried for a little bit longer before I fell asleep on him. I managed to cry myself to sleep. I heard the others come in the room, leaving probably food on the table and patting my head lightly. I felt Taehyung slip away after about an hour, but as soon as he got up, I curled into myself holding my plush doll. He had placed another plush against the wall before leaving completely. I opened my eyes to see what it was. It was the Shooky plush. I held both of them and fell back asleep.
