How's life with EXO?

Chapter 48: Jump

Young steps closer, their faces inches away from each other. Jungkook gulps a lump, he breathes deeply and closes his eyes. "I love you." Jungkook said gently. Young whispers to his ears. "B-but why does it have to be this way?" Young bitterly said with a doubt in her heart. Jungkook snakes his hand unto the back part of Young's head, he held Young's head closer to plant a kiss on Young's forehead.

Jungkook parted away, he faced back. Nearly crying he said, "Don't tell me you're giving up?" Young wept, forcing herself to hide the tears.

She pulls him into a backhug with Young's chin by Jungkook's shoulder. "I'm not, but this has to stop." Jungkook twirls, so they're now situated face to face.

Jungkook puts his hand along Young's nape, their foreheads resting on each other. "Why stop, we're already here." Their breathes circulating in the tiny space left between them. Making Young feel shivers down to her spine.

Jungkook puts his hand down to hold Young's hand firmly. Jungkook squinted to the ground. Young defends. "It's forbidden, we can't do anythi---"

"But I love you, there's still a way." Jungkook insists.

They turned much more closer than ever before. Young whispers, "I love you too." Their lips were threatened to kiss---

"OKAY! CUT! VERY GOOD! VERY VERY GOOD! BRAVAAAAAHHH!" The director of the play said. Jungkook and Young smiles humbly. Being complimented sure can make the heart flutter.

Jungkook and Young bowed simultaneously with smiles plastered on their faces. Walking on the way down the stage's stairs, going to the vacant chairs where their things are.

Young drinks on her container, Jungkook looking at him troubled. Those faces Young makes, which are obviously leading to something that surely befuddles her. "Hey!" Jungkook hollered and then he threw a white clean towel.

She's snapped back to reality, caught the towel and immediately wiped the sweat off of her face. But still, she was steady staring at one place.

Someone's phone rang, to Young's surprise it was Jungkook's. Jungkook doesn't normally bring his phone in school, because most students try to get it and snatch his number out. This one's new. She thought, looking at his dongsaeng. "Excuse me." He said to Young. Young was left alone, returning back to being dumbfounded.

The younger comes back after such a conversation on the phone. He touched Young's nose. "Noona, let's go to the rooftop." She responds to Jungkook with a smile and she stood up fast following Jungkook on the way out.

Today, Young and Jungkook are only on casual clothes. Since it's really sweaty while practicing the play.

While walking there way upto te rooftop, Young started the conversation after being so quiet awhile ago. "Jungkook, we should be less awkward on stage." Tapping on Jungkook's arms gently.

Jungkook shots him a look. "Awkward? We're not awkward. Actually we make a good pair." He chortles.

Young chortles too. As they walk, they meet up with other students. Some came bowing to Jungkook, probably his fans. They were giggling on the way towards them, but after seeing Young they started to stare as if Young's not a co-student.

The smile on Young's face as she see the fans who loves Jungkook suddenly rotated. "I-I'm afraid." She drawled, looking straight on their way.

Busy smiling and greeting his fans, Jungkook pays attention to his noona. "W-wae, did something happened?" He lays a hand on Young's shoulder.

Young fidgets. "I'm afraid that that stupid issue might affect the up coming play." Sighing deeply, her necklace suddenly slid down from her neck without her noticing. Young continues walking, lucky that Jungkook saw it. He picks it up. "Noona!" He calls out his noona who was walking ahead of him. "Yi Fan!" Young came back hastily.
