It's 1.31am // GOT7

Chapter 9 - Hesitate

JB: What is it? Why do you look sad? I thought we were having a good time, he asks now concerned.

J: Nothing, I'm fine, she says not wanting to admit how she feels. Let's go.

JB: Or we could stay here for a while, he says sitting down on the sand and pulling her down with him.

This part of the beach is completely deserted, the sea front lights shining against their backs as they stare at the sea. The sound of the waves and people laughing in the far distance are breaking the silence between them. There is no tension, you can just only hear the many things they cannot say to each other. Out of shyness maybe, or just understanding and analysing the situation. On her part, she already has two men in her life. The feeling of longing for another man, regardless of how perfect he is and how perfect the others are, makes her feel greedy and she just doesn't recognise herself. Should she admit her current situation to him, even before knowing how he feels? On his part, he knows the effect he has on her. Is she just flustered by his presence or does she have genuine feelings for him? Being a romantic, he is very sensitive and has been hurt before. His tough act is all it is, an act, a way to protect himself. Making an actual move on her would be the ultimate confession and doubt makes its way through his thoughts.

JB: Are you Okay?

J: Yes, why?

JB: Just asking. You seemed... preoccupied during the last few concerts, I just wanted to make sure you are okay and you like your job.

J: I do, she smiles touched by his concern. I love it, working with you is like working with friends. Everyone is so nice and... she stops thinking about Youngjae in the pool and Jinyoung in the changing room, starting the blush.

But he cannot see her rising red cheeks, just the nervousness in her speech.

JB: And?

J: Nothing! And that's it. I like my job.

He can tell she definitely has something in mind but won't share, but is it just that she was thinking about the massage moment? Remembering her startled face at the sight of his bare chest, he smiles and knows not to ask anymore.

JB: So what do you do in your spare time?

J: I don't really have any.

JB: What do you listen to then? And don't say GOT7, he laughs.

J: Mmmh, I like everything really. I like Jazz, Rock, Pop, Classical, RnB, anything except Country.

JB: Okay, favourite rock band?

J: Easy! Foo Fighters.

JB: Really?

J: Yeah, I saw them three times with my e... she stops suddenly feeling a shiver going down her spine as the memory of that time of her life feels like a dark stain on her mind.

JB: Are you cold? He asks noticing her move.

J: No, I'm okay thanks, she says trying to compose herself.

JB: Favourite Jazz act.

J: Chet Baker.

JB: Me too. Underrated. His voice sounds so contemporary it feels like time travel.

J: His voice is just so smooth and silky, it reminds me of someone's, she says staring at him.

JB: Smooth and silky? He says shyly noticing her stare. Thank you.

J: I mean there's more to your voice but when you sing Def. songs it's a different vibe to the powerful stuff like "You are", which I love by the way. It's my "feel good" song.
