CHAPTER 38

JUNG KOOK's P.O.V.

"I'm sorry. I have to go." She said and just like that I watched her walked away from me again. Why didn't I stop her? Was it because I was afraid that somebody will see us? No! I am not scared! Then why didn't I stop her? Aish! 

"Yah! Jung Kook-ah! I said move to the left! Are you listening?" I was woken up from reminiscing what had transpired earlier this morning in our script reading when Mr. Son, our choreographer yelled my name. I looked around and I can see the other members looking at me worriedly.

Hoseok-hyung approached me and lightly tapped my shoulder. "Jung Kook-ah, is there any problem you want to talk about?" He asked with concern. I just look at his face and shook my head. "i'm fine, hyung. I was just thinking about memorizing my script." I lied.  I don't want to make them worry. I know this is not the proper time to talk about my feelings. He nodded his head, smiled and lightly tapped my shoulder before he went back to his position. I looked at our choreographer and bowed. "I'm sorry, Mr. Son. Can we do it again?" I apologized. 

I need to stop thinking about my personal problems and focus on our new choreography for our comeback. I should not not be a burden to my other members. I took three consecutive deep breaths to clean my mind and regain my focus. 

Mr. Son clapped his hands to get our attention. "Alright, is everyone back to their position?" We all nodded our head. "So this is the new steps..."

Our practice lasted until 3:00AM. We are all so drained when we reached our dorm. After taking a shower, I decided to go back to the kitchen to drink a glass of milk.

"Why are you still awake?" I almost dropped my glass of milk in surprise when Jin-hyung appeared with a facial mask on.

"Hyung!" I whined but he just laughed at me. "You scared me! Why are you here?" I asked as i watch him go to the cupboard and reached for a cup of instant ramen.

"I'm hungry." He answered as he walked past me to the counter where the water dispenser is. I watched him open the cup and filled it with hot water. After a few minutes of silence I am still in the kitchen, silently watching him eat.

"Is there something you want to talk about? What is the problem JK? I know you are not here just to watch me eat. Come on spill it to your big brother." Jin hyung asked before he took a bite of his ramen. I don't know if he will be the right person to talk to regarding my problem but he is the eldest here and I am sure he knows Mae Noona well and so I took deep breath before I told him what happened earlier today. I saw how her eyes widened in shock when I showed him our group picture and pointed out Mae Noona.

"See? I told you it was her! She is the writer of the story I'm going to act in." I uttered while a small smile appeared on my lips as I look at her picture. She was smiling brightly in our group photo and I can't help but smile too. 

"Wow! Daebak! What a small world?! Maybe you are really meant for each other. What do you call that? Hmmmm.. what was it? It starts with letter D!" He exclaimed exaggeratedly as he looked at me thoughtfully. I looked at him and chuckled. 

"Destiny, hyung!" I answered for him.

"Ah! Right! Right! Ooooohh! Jung Kookie, you're getting better in English nowadays! Namjoon will be so proud!" He looked at me while pretending to wipe tears on his eyes. He looks funny doing the gesture plus the facial masks really looks hilarious on him.

"Ah, hyung, but that is not the issue here?" I tried to suppress my laugh as I tried to bring our conversation back in track. He looked at me now with a more serious face.
