The Internship

Chapter Twenty One

As the three walked in, Jhope moving carefully, they awkwardly met the others just sitting at the table, staring. Jisu gave a somewhat fake smile, waving.

"Hey boys, we're back."

Namjoon quietly sighed, knowing it would be an awkward atmosphere. Jhope watched without a clue, but kept quiet. After no reply, she spoke again.

"Um, hello? Earth to Bangtan."

She gave a chuckle, hoping it might help.  They still stared, anger, annoyance, sadness, and even confusion written on their faces. Jisu gave up trying, and just walked to her room, closing the door with a slight slam. Jhope approached the sitting members, smiling.

"Hey, I'm better now."

Jin gave a weak smirk, nodding.

"Do you want anything to eat? Come sit, I'll cook for you."

He stood up, letting him take his seat. While he prepared his work place in the kitchen, Hoseok gave a grin to the others.

"Is no one gonna greet me, or say welcome? You all seem very quiet."

They all looked away from his eyes, keeping quiet. He let his grin fall, and gave a questioning tone.

"What's wrong with you guys? Did I do something? If so, sorry."

Suga looked over, and sighed loudly.

"No Hoseok, you didn't do anything wrong. We're just tired."

"Hyung, shouldn't he know as well?"

Jimin spoke up in a saddened tone, earning a glare from the elder.

"Know what?"

Jhope became easily concerned, perking up his ears. Namjoon walked over, and spoke before anyone opposed to the idea.

"It has to do with Jisu. She wants to move back to America."

He spoke bluntly, not wanting to take long or have second thoughts. Hoseok just kept a blank face, keeping quiet. Jin walked backed in with a plate, setting it in front of the recovering boy, along with needed utensils. Yet he still stared, leaving it untouched.

"Um, hyung? Are you-"

"What is it Jungkook?!"

Jhope snapped, then sighed, apologizing.

"Sorry, what is it?"

"I was just going to ask if you feel better-"

"No I don't, okay! Why would you ask such a stupid question?!"

The younger looked down at his hands, apologizing with a mumble.

"Hey, you don't have to treat him like that."

Taehyung said with a hint of anger. Jhope glared at him, speaking lowly.

"I didn't ask for your damn opinion V. Keep your piece of mind out of it."

The atmosphere became really awkward out of nowhere, and tension levels high. Jisu opened her door, and walked out to head to the kitchen, for something to eat. Before she made it, she was startled by Jhope's sudden yelling.

"So you were going to tell everyone else, and leave me out of it?!"

He approached her with anger and rage, making Jisu step back in reflex.

"No, I just didn't want you to know now, since you were recovering-"

"Bullshit! You were planning on just stepping out and leaving me confused. While everyone else would've known about the whole situation!"

"I was going to tell you! Stop yelling at me for no damn reason!"

She went to walk off, but was pulled back by her arm, making her stay.

"I'm not done, Jisu. Why were you planning on leaving?! Do we annoy you?! Burden you?! Or do you want your own place where you can freely catch a man's number?!"

She looked him in the eyes, blood boiling inside, yelling.

"You're acting the same way as when I first came here! Some random shop worker gives me his number, and all of a sudden you go ballistic! Now this is something completely different, and you're acting the same way accusing me of the same shit! For someone who doesn't want me to leave, you sure are driving me away."

This time she walked into the kitchen freely, as if nothing was going on. She opened the fridge, but had it slammed closed by Jhope, who began shouting once again.

"Jisu, no one is driving you away! If anything you're doing that yourself! No one is asking you to leave, everything is perfectly fine here! So what reason could you possibly have that makes sense for you leaving!?"

She gave a scoff, running a hand through her hair.

"Perfectly fine? Look who's yelling at me right now! Look at the trouble you guys could get in just for keeping me here! Look at the accident we were just in! We were nearly killed Hobi, do you not see that?! You took more pain just to help me out. But no, everything is doo da picture perfect, right?"

Jisu finished, and pushed around him, walking back towards the still quiet living room. He took in a breath while following, and speaking lowly with sincerity.

"Maybe to you, everything isn't perfect. But to me, it sure as hell is. Everyday I smile and laugh more than I used to, because of you. I feel like this is an actual home, because you're here. Everything is so much better, because you're here. You make my life complete the definition of perfection. You leaving would only make things worse on everyone, especially me. I look forward to seeing you when I wake up. Fighting to hangout with you, and spend time in any way. But if you leave, I can't do that. I won't be able to squeal out your name, annoy you, pick on you, take you for another car ride that I know won't happen again. I won't be able to extremely crush on you, or flirt in any form. Or be able to think about how you don't ever notice my feelings for you, and how true they are. Everything would be gone, if you walked out that door, and never came back. The only thing that wouldn't be gone, is my love for you, and my care."

All Jisu and the others did was stare, no words found at the moment being. After silence took over, Namjoon broke it with getting up and speaking.

"Well, Jisu let's go for a walk, okay?"

He immediately started dragging her out the door, ignoring her protest.

"But I don't want-"

"We'll be back later, bye!"

Namjoon slammed the door, leaving everyone else in awkwardness.
