WE ARRIVED AT THE PLACE WHERE THE EVENT was being held at. It was honestly more of a resort, rather than a hotel. Taehyung and I stepped into the lobby and my jaw basically dropped. I tilted my chin upwards and peered up at the tall ceiling. It was absolutely magnificent, with marble floors and glass railings. An elegant stone fountain stood in the middle of the space, surrounded by lush shrubbery and polished wooden benches. It just had that tropical vibe, making me feel as if I'd been transported out of Korea and to someplace like the Bahamas.

It must be really expensive. I know that I'd never be able to afford to stay in a place like this, regardless of how much money I saved. I honestly felt too poor for a place as grand as this.

The other members were crowded around the front entrance, I noticed. Jungkook and Yoongi were seated in the sitting area, with Jungkook looking half asleep and Yoongi watching something on his phone. Jimin and Hoseok were standing by the luggage, deep in conversation, while Namjoon and Seokjin addressed the perky woman standing behind the reception desk.

"You guys made it!" Jimin called out when he noticed us, a bright smile stretching across his lips. He waved and Taehyung returned it with one of his own. Meanwhile, my eyes slid over to Jungkook. He'd now perked up, looking wide awake and the least bit tired. He'd unfolded his arms, his entire body tense. He locked eyes with me and quickly looked away, pretending not to notice my presence.

I'd be lying if I said that it didn't hurt to know that he could barely stand the sight of me now. It was painful enough him dodging me at work, but this. This was a whole new level of hurt.

I drew in a breath and stood tall. Regardless of how much I wanted to crawl into a hole and hide, I had to maintain a strong front. There was no way I was breaking down in front of everyone. I could do that later in the comfort of my hotel room if I really needed to.

Taehyung and I approached the others. Namjoon and Seokjin joined us, walking away from the front desk and the lady who was now drooling over the idols just a few feet away from her. The person who really caught her eye was Jungkook, and I desperately wanted to roll my eyes, but decided against it. Did I just get jealous? I dismissed the thought as quickly as it had come and focused my attention elsewhere. I was not jealous.
