I'm Breaking

Chapter 42

Jungkook PoV

"Okay, so I walk out there with you, picture, picture, flash, flash and then we go in and then I can eat?" she kept on asking. 

"Chae--"

She sighed and covered her face, "I'm sorry! I have never worn this heavy make-up, fancy ball gown and riding a limousine!" 

I chuckled as she starts getting so nervous. 

We're going to the ball and I made sure she won't feel alone there. It's a given that I'm supposed to accompany her everywhere, but I invited Jisoo, Jennie and Lisa to make sure she won't feel out of place. 

Besides, Namjoon-hyung will be there. They can talk medical stuff. 

My nervousness stopped when I saw her getting nervous. I'm giving my speech in front of all the Jeon Foundation's business partners, family friends, family themselves, and everyone close to me. 

This is my first time, as well. There will be media broadcasting it live, it will be in the news. And reporters have already given a set of questions to the company. My dad and I picked out the important ones I need to answer later. 

As the new CEO and President of the Jeon Foundations, I had to write what are my first goals in my first year as a CEO. 

It was pretty simple; expand the company. Not just business-wise, but you know, communication-wise. 

"Oh, my gosh! Are we here already?!" she asked, half screaming. 

I rubbed her back, "Don't be so nervous and cling on to me always, okay? Don't answer questions from the reporters, and most of all stay away from Jieun, arasseo?"

"Arasseo," she smiled. "You're life is way more restricted than mine, are you sure you don't want me to help you answer some stuff?"

"Chae, they will ask about business. You can whisper to me. Oh, and don't forget, if you aren't with me, stay with Jisoo-noona, Jennie-noona, Lisa, Namjoon-hyung, Jimin-hyung, Taehyung-hyung, Jin-hyung, Yoongi-hyung and Hoseok-hyung."

She nods as a reply. 

Then the limousine stops and the driver opened the door. He helped Chaeyoung out, since she isn't used to wearing platform heels. And I followed her out of the car.

The camera lights flashed, and it almost feels like I was blinded by it. I waved my hand up and held Chaeyoung's hand as we went up the stairs of the venue. 

"Jungkook-ssi! Over here!"

"Can we ask a few questions?!"

"Is she your girlfriend?"

"Look here, Jungkook-ssi!"

Reporters with cameras kept on screaming. 

"Aniyo, she is just my friend," I answered the reporter. 

We were escorted to the ball's venue, where everyone had gathered already. According to my father's script, I should arrive last. 

Like Cinderella's grand entrance that enchanted her prince. 

My hand is still holding Chaeyoung's. She looked pale and nervous, so I rubbed my thumb on her hand and smiled. 

"It's okay, I feel nervous too," I whispered to her. 

She smiled a faint smile and entered with me through the glass door. 

We both entered, only to be greeted by my father and older brother by the door. Chaeyoung shook her hands with Il-Do and bowed to my father.
