Heartbeat - BTS

11

It's been four months since Jaerin joined the group and she's now comfortable with them and so are the boys.

So much things happened within the four months of Jaerin being a member of the boy-group,

They celebrated Hoseok's 19th birthday together as they ate in a small restaurant nearby where they always eat, Hoseok almost cried due to the overflowing happiness as he hugged each member tightly.

They also became more active on their social media accounts and Jeongguk shared his experience in Los Angeles when he trained there for almost a month.

Jeongguk and Jaerin who's so awkward when they first met are now so close and they're now bestfriends.

It's only four months but they've grown closer with each other, they had fights every now and then but they'll make amends quickly and sometimes they'll talk casually forgetting the fact that they fought a few seconds ago.

Today, they're meeting their new member, the eigth member as they all prepared and tried to look good for a good first impression,

The dorm is a mess and it's chaotic,

"Yah, Namjoon-ah! Don't wear sunglasses, show your eyes more!" Yoongi said as Namjoon shook his head and wore the sunglasses, the dark lenses covering his eyes as Yoongi sighed and went inside the shared bedroom.

"Hyung, it looks cool!" Namjoon shouted as Yoongi covered his ears, telling the younger boy that he's not listening as Namjoon pouted,

"Jaerin! Why do you keep wearing my white shirts?" Jeongguk whined as he saw the female member wearing his white shirt as the latter only shrugged and smiled, "I like it, Gguk!"

Jeongguk groaned as he sat down beside the female maknae who's playing a game in Seokjin's iPad.

He watched Jaerin play as they let each other play and even did a multiplayer game as they wait for the older ones to finish.

Jeongguk looked up and he noticed a scar on Jaerin's outer eyelid, below her eyebrows as he tilted his head in confusion,

"Yah, why do you have a scar on your eyelid?" Jeongguk said as he touched the scar as Jaerin flinched due to Jeongguk's sudden touch.

He frowned as he felt how deep the scar is under his fingertips,

Jaerin looked at Jeongguk in disbelief as she paused her game and touched the scar, "We've been living in the same dorm for four months now and you only noticed it today?" She said as Jeongguk nodded, still staring at the scar.

"How did you got it?" Jeongguk asked out of curiosity as Jaerin's lower lip puckered, another habit of hers.

"Hmm, it's kind of embarrassing to tell," Jaerin said as she scratched her head as Jeongguk shook his head and told her that it's fine.

"Well," Jaerin started as she shifted on her position as she faced Jeongguk and placed the iPad on her lap, "I was seven years old and I'm playing in a playground in Busan, I was having fun then I tripped on a rock then this," She pointed at the scar, "When I fell, this part landed on the metal slide and my playmates started panicking and they left me on the playground calling out for their parents," She said as Jeongguk's eyes widened as Jaerin continued telling her the story.

"Then, I remember sitting on the grass and blood started flowing down to my cheeks and I don't know what to do so I cried. My Nana brought me to the hospital and I was so scared.." Jaerin stopped telling the story as she was about to tell Jeongguk her biggest fear,

"Then..?" Jeongguk said as Jaerin gulped, "I hate hospitals and blood." Jaerin mumbled but loud enough for Jeongguk to hear as he frowned and pouted,

"Oh! I have one too, look!" Jeongguk said as he showed the scar on his left cheekbone

"Really?"

"We've been living in the same dorm for four months now and you only noticed it today?" Jeongguk imitated Jaerin with a small voice as the latter let out a small growl and hit Jeongguk's arm as he immediately rubbed it.

"How did you got it?" Jaerin asked as she laughed, realizing that they're repeating the same questions to each other,

"I got it when I was young, I can't remember how old am I but I'm pretty sure I'm in elementary school," Jeongguk said as he licked his lips, a habit of his as Jaewon listened to the story carefully.

"We have this computer and my brother and I fought because of it. We argued about who gets to get it and play it first, then, I got this!" He pointed at the scar on his cheekbone as Jaewon laughed.

"That's such a lame reason!"

"It's not! It's about who gets to play first! You also argue with me whenever I get to play first on Seokjin Hyung's iPad!"

"Jaerin, Jeongguk! Let's go!" They immediately stood up when they heard Seokjin's voice as they catched up with the boys as they started walking before them.

"Did it hurt?" Jeongguk innocently asked as Jaerin let out a chuckle, "Of course! It bled so you know.."

"Did yours hurt?" Jaewon asked as Jeongguk shook his head and measured an amount using his pinky and index finger as they both laughed.

Soon, they arrived at the agency as they went straight to their manager's office as they knock and heard a faint yell coming from inside, come in!

Namjoon opened the door for his members as he let them inside first, they all settled on the vacant seats as Jeongguk and Jaewon shared a seat, they're inseparable.

As there were only 2 vacant seats, the older members stood up behind the younger ones as a boy sitting across them, his head hanging low, caught their attention.

"So, how have you been?" Their Manager asked as Namjoon answered for the group, "We're fine, sir."

Their Manager nodded as he clasped his hands together as he cleared his throat, "So, he is your eight and final member. Please introduce yourself,"

The boy looked up shyly as his small dark eyes met everyone's, "H-Hi, My name is Park Jimin from Busan. I'm 17 years old, please treat me well.." He bowed his head a little as everyone looked at him as his cheeks flushed red due to the attention that he's getting.

Taehyung's eyes sparkled due to excitment as the new member is someone his age, he clapped his hands a little as a smile crept up to his face, getting excited little by little.

"So, Jimin started training a few months ago, please treat him well. I'll give you time to get to know each other, now go, go!" He shoo-ed the members playfully as the members pouted and laughed as they exit the room.

They went straight to their dance studio as Taehyung walked beside his new friend as he talked with him even though he doesn't respond much as he's still shy.

They all sat down in a circle as Jaerin smiled as she remembered when she first joined the group, they also sat in a circle and talked.

"Yah, the situation is very similar when you joined the group, I'm having déjà vu," Jeongguk whispered to Jaewon's ear as they nodded and shivered playfully as they chuckled and high-fived each other playfully.

They all introduced themselves as they can't help but to remember the day when Jaerin joined the group, she's so shy just like Jimin.

The moment Jimin joined the group, they knew he would fit in perfectly.

Jimin is a short boy who has chubby cheeks and small eyes, Taehyung instantly befriend him being the social butterfly he is.

They felt complete when the boy joined the group, they don't know what the future holds for them, but they know they could do anything when they're together.

Jimin is the final piece to the incomplete puzzle of the group, but, there's still one thing they have to do so that the puzzle will be complete.

They have to debut.
