I point at myself in confusion and she nods.
“I’m recording you guys. I can’t be singing.” I say and shrug.
“Oh come on. You’re gonna edit all of this anyway. Just remove your part from the film.” She says and gets up. She pulls me all the way to the centre and gives me the tab to choose the song.
“I can’t really sing.” I say and keep the tab down.
“Come on! Everyone can sing. You just need to select a song. Wait, I’ll select a popular one for you.” She says and presses on a song.
The song starts and all I can do is sing. I start, insecure, but persevere until the ending of the first verse, when I hear bouts of laughter from behind.
I turn around and see Iris almost on the verge of tears, while Jungkook sat as still as a statue. Iris could not and would not stop laughing, so I stopped singing. I was way too embarrassed to continue.
“That was by far the best performance I’ve ever seen.” Iris comments, still laughing or rather, choking.
“ENOUGH!” Jungkook says and gets up. Iris catches a hold of his wrist as soon as he is about to walk towards me.
“I know what’s up between you guys. Sit down, or I’ll expose everything.” She says and Jungkook looks at her in annoyance.
“I don’t really give a fuck anymore.” He says, and yanks away his hand from her grip and walks towards me.
He puts a hand on my waist and pulls me close. With a hand on my cheek, he closes the distance between us and before I know, he’s kissing me. My eyes are wide open. What is even happening?
“Jungkook!” I hear Iris cry out from behind.
He pulls away and looks at me right in the eyes, holding my hands down in his.
“I’ve been cowardly before, and I know I didn’t make time for you, but I promise that I will now. All of these days that we’ve been apart, I’ve realized just how important you are for me. If you’re not with me, none of this matters. I love you, Hwa Young.” He says and pulls me into a hug. I realize I have tears in my eyes.
Iris gets up and pulls onto Jungkook’s shoulders to get him away from me, but Jungkook shoves her slowly and she growls. She stomps and walks out of the room.
I pull away from the hug.
“Jungkook, I don’t wanna be the reason she ends your career.” I say and Jungkook shushes me.
“She can’t.” He laughs a bit.
“What do you mean?” I ask, knitting my eyebrows together.
“That day she came to the house, she was desperate to have me and she leaked something she shouldn’t have. Her career will end sooner than mine if she tries to pull something.” He says and I look at him, wide-eyed.
“I didn’t know you had tricks up your sleeve?” I ask, pulling away from him and he laughs.
“Look, what I said earlier, I meant all of it. If you wanna expose our relationship, we will go public. I just need some time. The moment I feel we’re ready, I won’t wait any longer. I wanna show you off to the world too.” He says and pulls me in an embrace.
“Yeah, wanna show what an amazing singer I am?” I ask and he laughs out loud.
“No, that’s just for my ears.” He says and I hit him on the chest.
“You’re a dork, you know?” I say and look up at him.
“Yeah, but you’re dorkier.” He says and I hit him some more.
“Come here.” He pulls me onto the sofa with him.
“I know these past few days have been a lot, but I promise I will make time for you. Only with you gone, I realized that anything that I do does not matter if you’re not in my life. Who am I doing this for? I lost focus. I lost control over my life these past few days, and it’s made me realize how much I love you and miss you. I know we can’t go back to the times when I had a lot of free time to hang with you, but I’ll make sure you see me everyday, in time and that we go on more dates. And I’ll make sure to let your friends know that you’re dating me, but most of all, I wanna spend my whole life with you and I’ve never been more sure. Please get back with me, Hwa Young. I love you so much.” He says, his eyes never leaving mine, and I can’t help but let out a few tears.
“I love you too, and I promise I won’t ever leave you again.” I say, my nose turning red at this point.
