EMPLOYED [ JJK ]

Chapter Six: Past References

Namjoons POV

I watched as our maknae left the room whilst hiding his face, I assumed he started to cry? The only reason behind my assumption is because from the first time I meet him, when things became difficult or confusing, he ended up crying. He had always hated showing the rest of the members his vulnerability and instead went on his own.

Being the leader of Bangtan for so many years, I grew to understand the way Jungkook was, and he was a person who loved his privacy, who never ever showed anyone his weaker side.

It was my duty to check up on the youngest member, but maybe I should rather give him some privacy before I go...

"WAAIIITTT!!! don't go!" I exclaimed inorder to stop the rest from following Jungkookie.

"why? he looks upset, and I don't want my kookie to be upset!!" V pouted

"OUR kookie" Jimin corrected

"Namjoon, I expect you to convince Jungkook and the rest before Friday evening, which gives you approximately 2 days, best of luck "Rap Monster", Ok ok meeting dismissed!" said our manager while picking up his last few pages and leaving the room, before I could curse him in time for addressing me as Rap Monster.

"Well... looks as if I have m work cut out for me" I thought before setting up the rest of the members and making my way to Jungkooks "hide away"

A/N POV

Jungkook slipped on his mask, and finally arrived at a park in the centre of his old neighbourhood where he grew up. He sat down on an old bench, which was still the same as 10 years ago. Many things happened in this park, and the memories within this place was one of the only few things he had left.

The feeling of before they exploded in the industry, when things were harder, but more...simpler in some weird way. He wishes he could go back to before they became huge... but at the same time did not want to? These small moments where he sat in the park was more than enough to calm his mind after a tough day.

Why exactly? Well... it was only natural from young to come to the park after a rough day, because when he was a tiny tiny tinyyy kookie, he had felt free while running among the jungle gyms and playing along with other kids. FREE

Even before and after debuting, things were rough for Jungkook, he was just 15 and the amount of pressure he had gotten from the public and Big Hit was way too much. He did not know how to deal with this type of emotions and went straight back to his park, where he felt as if all his problems just instantly disappeared into thin air... but this time around, it seemed as if all the negativety had over blocked his way to escaping.

He sat on the old bench, no mask needed, since nobody even knew who BTS was... no one acknowledged them, and whoever did acknowledge them, only had terrible things to say towards them, for once in his life, Jungkook felt as if he failed at something.

He opened his eyes and saw a feminine hand out infront of him, holding out a pink tissue, he looked away instantly realising he had started to cry while tangled in his own thoughts and out of reflex, quickly wiped his tears with his sleeves

"Oh no... now you have tear juice all over your sweater sleeve... urghhh why couldn't you just take my tissue!!!" a sweet playful voice echoed in his ears, curious to know the face which held such a voice, he turned towards her and smiled gently when my eyes met a simple face with delicate features, which looked about roughly 2 years older than his own..."Noona" he thought.

"JEON JUNGKOOK!!! Jungkook was prepared for the wors, and expected terrible words to spill from her lips, but to his amazement... "Im even more upset that you had not used my tissue now!! omw I could have bragged to those brats that I have Jeon Jungkooks snot!!!" he looked wide eyed at this... odd girl before she spoke once again "oh no im sorry... did I scare you? geez I tend to scare people off a lot...I LOVE YOU!" she squeeled and jumped right on top of him and wrapped him in her arms. "Hi, uhm, have we met before? at school?" he finally got a chance to question her.

"uhmm you are from BTS right? The kids I baby sit over weekends adore them! and so do I !" Jungshook that someone actually liked BTS, he replied "well, yes I am a member..."before he could finish, the overly excited fangirl started frantically talking again, "OMGGGG! my dreams have came true! we love you all so so so much! every Friday night the kids and I would always either attempt to copy the dance from the "No More Dream" Mv and we at a point even tried to draw fake abs on ourselves and would have a full blown karaoke evening..." continued the girl, while Jungkook just sat there, admiring the fact that someone actually... loved them... it was a beautiful feeling, just then his thoughts got interrupted once again by the pink tissue.

"Noooo don't cry, I didn't mean for you to cry.... im sorry for talking so much, you probably et bombarded like this every day... im gonna go, It was more than a honour meeting you! I will surely tell the kids!" said the fangirl and got up, together with her bags carrying snacks for the kids she brought to the park. Without letting his brain cells think twice, he screamed "No wait! don't leave! I wont have anyone to talk to... and... no one actually knows of me... you not a bother! im extremely happy over the fact that I finally got to meet a fan of mine, I thought I was a bother and that I was useless instead"

The girl was just as stunned by the maknaes words as he was, and placed her bags down beside the bench and grabbed his hand without realising it, "woaw woaw woaw, whatever crackheads made you feel like this, are STOO-PID! Obviously the do not see the uniqueness, potential and hard work behind everything you do, and don't worry, one day you will be soaring up high, with thousands of fans, just like me. You guys will become the best of the best, and in due time, you will have an entire ARMY behind you, who will care for you, shed tears for you, instead of you hiding behind some odd tree on a bench in some random park with you crying, and hehe, when that day comes, ill be there hopefully to tell you that I was right * hair flip *, orrrr you can just imagine me saying that hehe."

Jungkook stared at her delicate hands which rested in his, too flustered to look up at this kind girls words and out of nowhere, his lips met with the top of her hand.

The fangirl giggled, before giving a response, she quickly jumped up attending to the dangling kids by the monkey bars in panic. Jungkook watched her till she disappeared behind the tree, when he got a call from Big Hit telling him to urgently get back to the studio

A/N POV

He sat on the bench, tangled within his mind and whenever he thought about that one incident... it had always calmed him down

"From that day, that one fangirl gave me the motivation to work harder and to reach the top... she was the reason Army had began, and therefore, she was the reason BTS still existed till today, she was the reason, why I could live out my life, doing what I love" and with that, his train of thoughts were interrupted by a familiar voice

"Jungkook?"
