Fame Isn't Worth It | k.th

Chapter 9

I'm getting mixed messages. After we hugged and shared that very intimate moment, we went back and the rest of our time in Paris, Taehyung seemed standoffish towards Sora. Not that she noticed because she was always on the phone.

But since we finished up our Paris concerts, we were on our way to Amsterdam and suddenly they were all lovey-dovey again.

It frustrated me.

"Get it together Soorim. You're not here to find love anyway," I sighed.

"Penny for your thoughts?" Jungkook asked while tossing me an orange juice that he got from the airport vending machine.

"Ah, it's nothing. Just stressed out about work I guess," I lied.

Jungkook sighed, moving behind me to give me a shoulder massage, "You work too hard Soorim. Our concerts have been perfect thanks to you, but you can take it down a notch."

"Thanks Kook," I huffed.

He froze at the nickname before smiling to himself.

I turned to look at Taehyung and Sora talking. Well more like Sora talking while Taehyung listened happily.

"Forget it Soorim. Just get the job done."

Time Skip

An hour later we arrived in Amsterdam.

"Soorim, since it's already the afternoon, there's no reason for you to go to the venue. We have tomorrow off so you can go work tomorrow, but today we were wondering you wanted to come with us to the Van Gogh museum and Anne Frank House," one of the managers asked.

It was kind of crazy how close I had gotten with all of the staff in such a short time.

I smiled, "If it's alright, I'd love to!"

"It's always alright with you!" A stylist exclaimed.

They excitedly took my arms and led me to their car.

When we passed Sora she scowled at me, turning to Taehyung annoyedly.

"When did everyone like her anyway?" I heard her scoff.

But I didn't have time to care because I was ushered into a car.

When we got to the Van Gogh museum, Jungkook instantly clung to my side.

"You ready to explore art?" He asked.

"Hell yeah. I'm a sucker for a good Van Gogh," I grinned.

Aside from Jungkook, many of the stylists, dancers, and managers had also clung to me because they thought I was cool.

"You have such a natural beauty and you're talented?! You're a whole package deal girl!" One of the stylists exclaimed.

I chuckled, chatting with all of them.

I hadn't had a large group of friends in a long time so this was nice.

We entered the museum and explored the gallery of the artist's beautiful pieces of work.

"I love that art comes in so many forms. It's such a broad word to encase the beauty of expression. Dance, singing, songwriting, art, writing, designing, styling, all of it is the product of a vision. Isn't that crazy," I gawked as we observed.

"You're cute when you're passionate," Jungkook hummed.

I grinned, "I am a pretty passionate person."

We continued wandering around, eventually getting split up as people went around to do their own thing.

I was looking at his Mulberry Tree piece, intently trying to feel for its meaning.
