The Internship

Chapter Thirteen

Jisu was walking down the small, empty hallway of Big Hit, with some folders under her arm, sighing.

'I can't wait to go to bed, and just sleep.'

As she was walking past each door in the hallway, one started to open, catching her attention. She paused in her footsteps, and turned on her heal to see who or what it was.

"Hey Jisu."

Rap Monster waved with a smirk, sticking his head out the door. Jisu smiled, waving effortlessly.

"Hey Namjoon!"

"What are you still doing here? Shouldn't you be back at the dorm?"

He whispered, walking out the studio room door, approaching Jisu.

"Yeah, but I had to put these folders in your manager's office. I figured why not do it now?"

She shrugged her shoulders as she spoke, smiling. Rap Monster got closer towards her, grabbing her forearm, pulling her towards the the door he just came out of.

"Come on."

Jisu tried pulling back, laughing softly.

"I can't, I'm still working Namjoon."

Rap Monster pulled harder, dragging her feet practically.

"If you get in trouble, I'll take the blame, okay?"

It was more of a statement than a question. Jisu sighed in defeat, walking the short distance into the studio room.

As they went in, Rap Monster closed the door, locking it.

"Wow, I've never been in a studio before. It looks so cool!"

Jisu cheered excitedly, as if she were a child. Rap Monster smiled down at her, sitting down. He rolled over another chair next to him, pointing.

"Sit, please."

Jisu sat quickly, still having a smile. Looking at all the buttons, and the sound board, she spoke up with a question.

"How do you work all this Namjoon?"

He put his hands on the sound board, pointing out the different uses.

"Well this is just basic volume. This right here lowers different instrumental use, and also mutes and adds effect. This control is for auto tune, and the rest or very complicated to explain."

Jisu nodded, just a little confused. She went to speak again, but Rap Monster already started a conversation.

"Jisu, how are you so happy?"

She furrowed her eyebrows together in confusion, sticking her head out a little as to hear him better.

"Excuse me?"

Rap Monster chuckled, talking again.

"You heard me. How are you able to smile and have a positive attitude everyday?"

Jisu scrunched her lips up in thought, actually contemplating an answer.

"Well...."

She gave a sly smile, and turned her attention back to him.

"I just do. I don't like to focus on my struggles or hard task. Rather, I like to focus on the fun I have, and the people that surround me who make me happy. You boys make me smile and stay happy. I'm pretty sure if my life was just average, or all about work, I'd be boring, and just do the opposite of my now attitude."

Jisu rested her chin on her hand, staring at Rap Monster, awaiting a reply. All he did was smile and look away.

"To be honest Jisu, I'm stressed out a lot lately. Between us releasing the new album, and manager being up my ass, it's quite frustrating."

Rap Monster scooted with his chair a little closer to Jisu, smirking.

"But, around you, I feel like that huge weight called stress is lifted off of my shoulders. As if your smile brightened my day more than the sun."

Rap Monster laughed at himself, continuing.

"I know, that sounds real corny. But, I can't lie and say it's not true."

Jisu hid her face with a small smile, slightly laughing.

"Don't say things like that, Namjoon."

Rap Monster got close in her face, gently removing her hands from covering her self.

"Why not? Afraid to hear the truth?"

Before letting her answer, he put his lips near her ear, whispering.

"Jisu, listen to me. When I saw you, I honestly thought you'd be a little stuck up, and wouldn't acknowledge us. I don't know why I thought this, maybe it was your appearance. Beauty, quietness, and keeping to yourself. But, you were also polite and outgoing at the same time. Then, that same night, you needed help because you took a shower without extra clothes."

He heard Jisu give a quick humorous sigh, remembering that night.

"But I noticed, after I helped you, that you were actually a kind girl, who would sleep on the floor, even though she's a guest. Ever since that day, I had uncontrollable thoughts of you. Thoughts of being with you, calling you mine, and being able to hear your sweet voice calling me Namjoon when I awake in the morning next to you."

Rap Monster pulled away from her ear, and stared into her dark brown eyes.

"Jisu, I can't contain the feelings I have for you."

He slowly went to her lips, and planted his on them, barely pecking. Just enough to make soft contact. As he pulled away, he saw Jisu staring back, not doing anything, but talk quietly.

"Namjoon, I have to say something."

He sat a little further away from her, giving space.

"I'm so confused about what I feel, not just towards you, but everyone. Living with you guys, I seemed to have gained feelings for all of you in my own way. I think you're very sweet, a gentleman, and a kind person, especially sincere. Your thoughts for me are something special, and they make feel guilty. Only because I can't just say "I have feelings as well." for just you."

She rubbed her forehead in frustration, as Rap Monster put a hand on her shoulder.

"Hey, don't start stressing yourself out, okay? Just think over my words."

He pulled her in, and placed a quick kiss on her forehead.

"Get home, I'll be back soon after I finish up here. And, I'll take the folders to the managers office, don't worry."

Jisu stood up, smiling while walking over to the door, opening it while stepping out. Before she closed it all the way, she turned and spoke up.

"Um, Namjoon?"

He looked over, smiling.

"Yes?"

Jisu smiled, waving.

"Goodnight."

She closed the door all the way, walking away slowly.

Rap Monster sighed and turned back to the sound board in front of him.

"Yeah, goodnight."
