Ch10: If you know, don't hesitate and please save my life

Not much BTS in here, but more of Choheun's thoughts and her character. Hope you don't mind! I promise next chapter will be more interesting and you'll all probably hate me a little for doing this to Choheun-ah. ^^

Enjoy~!

Three days passed since getting a tour from Beomgyu, and this time Choheun didn't exactly avoid the group. At least not on purpose, even if she would still refuse to remain eye contact no matter what because of the guilt brewing in her gut.

Their busy schedules gladly did that for her, so when they see each other, they wouldn't idle too long before getting called back to practice and get ready for their next songs after Fire that was still in progress.

Though they still try to say something to her, mostly Jimin and Seokjin, as always. Nothing new.

Much.

Choheun would still run away, too, but mostly by habit instead of running away because of what had happened a week ago. She no longer felt embarrassed, but she was really guilty for ignoring them for so long, especially when Taehyung seemed to look like a kicked puppy whenever he saw her as they passed by, pouting with hopeful eyes that Choheun had a hard time holding herself back from running to the singer and apologize profusely for being the cause of that look.

She was weak for cute things (Jaegoo—cough), and Taehyung looked like a puppy.

(Plus Jimin, he'd been staring at her the whole time if she was close by and Choheun always flushed in under his unreadable gaze-)

She knew she couldn't stay away from them for too long eventually. Like, Choheun could just walk up to them and say hi in the most casual and normal way she could muster up, the implication that she already had moved on from what had happened prior.

But like in the beginning, Yeon Choheun was a coward. She was scared. Scared that maybe they thought of her as an annoyance for ignoring them because of that incident, and that they had already moved on and just got tired of waiting for her to say something.

So, it's not her fault she felt like panicking when she thought of finally facing them. After all, she was close to getting a panic attack when, in one morning two days ago, she woke up with all of the boys already eating breakfast in the living room. They had immediately looked at her, Jimin with more hope in his eyes, but Choheun felt like suffocating and hastily rushed out of the dorm with an excuse of 'Yun Saego-nim wants me to arrive early' before they could say anything.

(She didn't even greet them a simple 'good morning' and she felt so bad and hated herself for it the entire day after that even during practice-)

Which was bullcrap, by the way. Regardless of her new schedule, her two coaches actually gave her plenty of time to arrive at any time between seven and ten. She could be there at seven if she wished, or arrive a little late like at ten, and the two didn't mind it at all, saying something about Choheun choosing to start and appear whenever she was comfortable and didn't even try to push her or order her.

That was...really sweet of them, actually. Choheun liked how considerate they were, that they were worried if her schedule was a little too much, but she didn't mind it. It's the nicest thing she had heard so far in her time as a trainee.

But she was still confused why they cared, before brushing the thought away that they were her teachers. Of course they would be worried if she could do it or not, so Choheun would do her best to get better and better without making a single mistake no matter what. She didn't want to fail them (because what if they-).
