Crush

Strength

Seok Jin's POV

It's been 2 weeks since that incident. I mean that hashtag incident. And I've been received countless missed calls from Hye Yeon. I know she was worried about me. Yeah, I do feeling down when I first saw that hashtag thing on every social media.

I admit it, I'm the most amateur among them all. I have zero knowledge about singing and dancing. Luckily, I have this 6 great persons who patiently teaching me how to dance and sing. They're my most precious family members now. Aside from my real family.

"Hyung! C'mon, practice is starting soon!" Jimin pops out from outside of the door, calling me. I smiled and get up from the chair.

"Coming!"

So, they always make sure that I always be with them, practicing and all, not letting me thinking about that thing peoples say about me on social media. They made me feels that I am walking through the right way. That this is the path I should take in my life.

They are my strength. Let's not forget Hye Yeon too. She's my precious friend who's always be the saviour in my hard times since we were kids.

After our practices are over for that day, I decided to contact Hye Yeon. She maybe still worrying over me. I shouldn't make her wait any longer.

"You guys can go ahead, I need to make a phone call for a bit. I'll be with you guys after that." Hoseok raised his eyebrow, asking who. Nam Joon only makes signal 'ok' with his hand, while Jimin, Jung Kook and Tae Hyung has gone earlier. Yoongi just watching me, nodded a bit. After they gone, I starts dialing Hye Yeon's number.

Ringg..
Ringg.. Ringg..

"KIM SEOK JIN!! HOW DARE YOU NOT PICKING UP THE CALLS? SO, WHY JUST NOW YOU'RE CALLING ME BACK?" Uh oh, she is angry. Or, should I say, worried?

"Mianhae, Yeonnie noona. We are so busy right now with all promotion and practices. Luckily, we got our day off tomorrow! For two days!" Suddenly, I heard faint sobs from the other side. Oh no, she's crying.. It makes me sad too. If she's crying, it means she was too hurt and angry.

"Mianhae, noona.."

"Did you know how worried I am? With all those stupid posts on Facebook! I thought my heart gonna smash to pieces, you know? They talking bullshits without knowing the real you! How can you just be quiet about that??" I sit on bench outside the practice hall. Waiting for her to finish her words. Letting her spill her anger and frustration. I know her too well, so I just keep silent.

"You know you can lean on me at times like this right? Why didn't you say anything to me? Am I just nobody to you?" Her words shock me. I shake my head, as if she can see that. No! Why did she talk like that?

"No noona, I never once thinking that you were nobody to me! In fact, you're my most precious person after my family. Please don't say that! It's just I don't want it to get in my way, so I tried to forget about it. And of course, my members were helping me. They always got my back and make sure I improve my dance and singing skill." I explained carefully to her.

"Really? It's a relief then. You really got a very good friends. But! Never left me out if anything happen again!" Her tone seems to be softer. I chuckle a bit.

"Yeah, I really am grateful. They are my most important friends after you, noona." She laugh. I know she wouldn't mad at me for too long. Suddenly, an idea popped in my head.

"Yeonnie noona."

"Yes?"

"Why don't you come here tomorrow? Since it's our day off!" I suggested this to her.

Silent moment fills the atmosphere. I look at my phone, make sure she's still there. Why did she suddenly quiet?

"Noona?"

"Thanks but no. If I come to your place, you won't be able to rest. I know you too well, young man." Hye Yeon finally speaking.

"But-"

"No buts! Now, I gonna hung up this call and you, go home and have a rest now."

I sighed and say,"okayy..", to her.

"Good boy!"
