HERMOSA

9

          Dahyun gave a lot of thought to what Jaebum had said to her yesterday. Even she was confused as to why she cared about what Jaebum said. She pouted while laying on her comfy bed. The more she thought about it, the sleepier she got. After a while, she finally drifted off to sleep.

          "Jaebum hyung?" Yugyeom called him after knocking on Jaebum's room door. He finally back to his dorm. Even though it's just temporary, he felt happy to be back. "Yes, gyeomie?" He looked at Yugyeom who was standing in front of his door.

          Yugyeom walked to Jaebum and sat next to him. "I don't know what is it that you say to Dahyun. But, do you really think that it was the best way?" Yugyeom asked. Jaebum let out a heavy sighed.

"It's not easy. My heart feels heavy even now. But, I want her to be recognized by people. I'm coming back to this group, she will surely be back to herself who is always being left out. I can't stand that. I can't persuade people to notice her, but I could tell her to make herself visible. But---" Jaebum stopped on his words. 

"If your intention is good, I'm sure that good things will come to you and her. You love her way too much." Yugyeom said as he patted slowly Jaebum's back. Jaebum smiled. "Thanks, maknae." He said. 

"But, I don't think she will be invisible from now on." Yugyeom continued. Jaebum's shoot him a confused look. Yugyeom smirked as he showed Jaebum the picture of GOT6 with Dahyun. "When did this happen??" Jaebum asked so curiously, dyingly want to know about it. Yugyeom just winked and left Jaebum in his room with a shock expression.

"He is one step ahead," Jaebum said, smiling foolishly to himself.

           Dahyun came to school and found out that Jaebum will not be coming back to the school anymore. It's not like she wanted to eavesdrop the fangirls' chit-chatting outside their class, but she just did and for some reason, she took interest in their conversation.

"If Jaebum oppa is not coming back, to whom should I give this chocolate?" A long-haired girl said. "Just give it to Juheon. Everyone knows that he likes you even after you turned him down a million times." The red-haired replied.

"Such bad news in the morning. How bad can today be after this?" Another one sighed out as well as Dahyun who was sighing for the nth times. She put down her head on the desk. Thinking about Jaebum again.

'What if Jaebum started forgetting me? What if he never really interested to be my friend? What is it that happened in the class that day?' She thought alone by herself. When we are alone, we tend to think about negative things a lot.

          After school, she walked around the mall. Hoping that she could empty her mind with something else. This could be the very first time she cared about someone else and that lucky person happens to be Im Jaebum. As she walked into a clothes shop, GOT7's song was playing and Jaebum's voice caught her attention. "Jaebum?" She said. She listened to the song attentively, wishing that Jaebum's voice could come up again so she could confirm it. But sadly, the song has come to the end.

"That is the song from your 1st album right?"  The DJ of the radio station. "Yes, it's called 'Stay'," Jaebum replied and that literally grabbed Dahyun's attention.

*****

          "There's a lot of rumors circulating around. Saying that you are going to leave GOT7 as GOT6. Any comment for that?" The DJ asked. Jaebum softly chuckled on the microphone. "I am not leaving my group behind. People are surely fast these days. Making speculation and all but it's not actually what happened. I'm only on hiatus for a while. I just want to continue studying and graduated officially not just leaving school like that. But unfortunately, it wasn't easy with a lot of schedules coming up." Jaebum said.

"Ahh, Right! Right! You guys will be having a comeback soon, you surely be so busy with a lot of promotion and interviews and other offers." 

"Yes, yes.." Jaebum shortly replied. "So now, let's listen to other GOT7's song entitled 'Skyway'," Said the DJ before turning the volume up for the listeners to hark to GOT7's music.
