Ha Rim returned to the practice room and called Yun to discuss the urgent matter.
"Rye-in! Eonnie called for you on the phone" She beamed. A code they've developed for certain circumstances.
Kim Rye-in, Yun isn't used to the name and if it's not for Jimin he wouldn't know Ha Rim was looking for him.
"Oh, okay! I'll go ahead then" He left the movies eating by themselves and joined Ha Rim in another room.
As soon as they left, the boys get anxious with the sudden meeting.
"That's strange" Yoongi blurted out and put his chopsticks down.
"No way" Jimin looked around and saw they all have the same expression.
"Let's not get ahead of ourselves, okay?" Jin halted their thoughts although he feel the same eerie suspicion.
"There are two things they will only discuss by themselves." Namjoon spoke as of giving them options which they should assume.
"One, it's about their home sickness" he counted his finger and they nod in agreement. "Second is that there's a plan they don't want us to know"
They thought about it for a minute and Hoseok snapped his fingers, "Rye-in said a minute before! There was a message from the country"
The second conclusion is more plausable.
"Shouldn't we stay away if they want us to?" Taehyung interjected. "I mean, they know which is best for the rest of us. We shouldn't include ourselves if that is their plan" he continued and everyone sighed.
He's right. Why should they include themselves? If their guts are right, they should stay away from trouble as much as possible.
"But we're supposed to be a team" Jungkook said under his breath and stayed silent like his brothers did.
Jungkook couldn't shake off the feeling in his gut. He had one solution and that is to follow Ha Rim and Yun.
Ha Rim began to prepare herself that night. A few benchpress and sit-ups on her bed made her feel relax.
"This time, the plan won't fail"
----
Jungkook"Jungkook, let go" Ha Rim squinted her eyes at me. I know she can't withdraw her hands from my grip cause if she do, her strength would be out in the open.
That's one of the things I know about her that no else know. Well, that's my perception.
"I'm going with you" Without another word from her, we walked side by side while her hands still in mine.
"I have no time playing with you today so, just let me go" Her voice raised another note.
She's pleading.
I stopped and turn to her. "You're going to namsan tower without anyone and in that dress" There's no use in hiding, I know her plan.
Her eyes scan her shoes up to her dress and come back to meet mine. Blinking twice as if saying 'what's wrong with it?'
She's confused.
"Is there a reason I can't go there by myself?" her opinion showed her ignorance. I can't help but smile. Ha Rim was a puzzle to me the day we first met but now, I know exactly what goes through her head.
To hide my grin, I turn around and continued to walk towards the bus station. "Namsan tower is for couples and families. If you come there by yourself you'll be more suspicious" with the brief explanation, we sat there.
Her eyes became serious and I know she's calculating the possible outcome of her decesions. "So today, I'll teach you how South Koreans spend their time in Namsan tower"
As if I was a tour guide paid with triple the price, I was smiling ear to ear while explaining things to her. The fountains, skycable cars, street foods, the stairs even the history of how Namsan tower was built; I've explained it all.
I bought her cotton candy and it made me feel proud. Like I was boasting how we advanced while they stayed behind all the glorious changes South Korean had.
When we reached the tower itself, Ha Rim keeps on looking around. "Jung, people are following" she kept her voice low and squeeze my hand.
"People recognized you with half face hidden with a mask and a full hat"
"It's called bucket hat"
"Rolling your eyes at me won't change anything"
I sighed in frustration, I can't even deal with her accent and tone. It reminds me of Commander Hok so much.
It happened fast, we were running the second I felt her warm hand for the first time today. We rush and hid in the behind the staircase near us.
"Take off you jacket,mask and hat." she ordered and started taking off her wig. She looked at me with judging eyes and hit me on the shoulder.
"First rule in running away from an enemy's sight, take off the particular clothes they've seen you with" she lectured and helped me take off my jacket.
It was spring and the cold wind brushed against my skin as soon as I was left with my shirt and pants.
"Second?"
"Move to another location without being noticed. Act normal as possible, avoid suspicion"
She nod in approval as I recited the second rule. She smiled at me. I mean, it wad Han-na's smile but thanks to what Ha Rim learned for her make-up, no one can recognize her as both identities.
We walk along the group of people coming in our direction. I ruffled my hair and no one ever laid eyes on us like before.
No one knew I was Jeon Jungkook.
"Jung" Ha Rim pulled me close to her and made me level with her height. "Kiss me"
"What?"
Her hands were on my nape and it was forced when it happened.
