3. No More Dream

June 13th, 2013

   Applause echoed in the audience after BTS finished their first appearance on the music show stage.  Eunbi was in line, clapping Jungkook unconsciously.

   Eunbi was proud as a company partner to see them shine on stage, but she didn't have high expectations about BTS's debut song.  But it doesn't matter according to Eunbi, he believes Jungkook and the team can easily become Sirius, the brightest star.  Because Eunbi knows that every talent and the hard work never betrayed.

   To be honest, Eunbi was confused about how ambitious she was in everything including school, but now skipping math classes and going to Seoul to watch BTS.  It's ridiculous the reason is because he misses Jungkook so much.

   Last time he remembered that Jungkook was just his close friend.  Nothing special.  But her desire to meet Jungkook has been great since a week has passed.  People know that Eunbi would never have missed classes like this if it weren't for such a crucial obstacle. Very important thing.

   The question, Since when was Jungkook so important to her?

   She was happy to see the young man appear, recalled the training memory.  She used to perform with Jungkook back then.  It was fun, even though their joint performance was only in front of their trainers.

   "Eunbi-ssi, I hope we can debut together!"  Jungkook said when their team received sweet praise from Hitman Bang.

   "It will hard to debut together. Why u want me?"

   "Because you're cool!"

   "If it's because of Bang sajangnim's compliment, you should debut with the others too," Eunbi referred to the other members who had successfully made monthly assessments that day.

   "You're the one make our performance became so cool, Eunbi!"

   "Ani! Even though I'm cool, this is still part of your extraordinary talent. You helped a lot"

   Eunbi reminisced about the times when Jungkook had just attended training.  He gave Eunbi a lot of questions and even followed wherever Eunbi and other trainees of the same age of her go.  In essence, Jungkook at the beginning had expressed his desire to debut with Eunbi several times because he thought the girl was very talented and would make the team successful. But for Eunbi, Jungkook was the best.

   Remember when all the students were amazed after Jungkook learned dance in LA.  In just 3 months, he has turned into an idol with high flying hours.  The child is like gold.  Hitman Bang has done the right thing~ that's on Eunbi's mind.

   Bang Si Hyuk is the best though.

  This time, that fat men with charismatic faces give backstage compliments to BTS, they are fulfilling what all the teams expect.

   "Chukkae! There will be more things to do in the future. But I'm sure we all will enjoy it" Bang said touched BTS's heart.  Although they didn't shed tears, their gazes at each other plus that hug conveyed even more hope.
   The single 'No More Dream' is expected to be a stepping stone for them to reach their dreams.  Because when the dream is in their hands, it will be No More Dream, but Happiness.

   And Jungkook is looking for it - the happiness he wishes for a long time.

   The night after the success of BTS's first stage celebration, Jungkook finally cried because he felt he had lost his happiness.
   Did he do something wrong?

   He was already at the point where he could stand where he wanted after sacrificing all his time and energy.  But he realized this was too fake.  His happiness is temporary.  It only happened when he performed on stage accompanied by the crowd's boisterous.  After that, the euphoria of his happiness vanished.
   Is he really doing something wrong?

   He truly had no more dreams thang hoping for shining with this dream.  Unfortunately what was in there seemed like sheer nonsense.
   Again, did he do anything wrong?

   Jungkook asked himself while tears overflowing on his face, becoming one with sweat.

   "Jungkook-aa?"  Hoseok was stunned to find Jungkook who was shedding tears, Jungkoon didn't answer and could only look up asking his tears to stop dripping.  Hoseok couldn't bear to see the maknae's cry immediately grabbed Jungkook in his arms, and Jungkook became more

   "Wae wae?"  Namjoon and the others checked on Jungkook, whose sobs sounded quite shocking to the hostel.

   Jungkook didn't answer, he couldn't reveal that something was wrong even though he is now happy to debut.  He didn't know how to explain it, because he basically didn't understand either.

   However, in his mind the image of a girl smiling at him flashed, Jungkook immediately knew what the reason behind his concern was.

   He wanted Hwang Eun Bi by his side.
   She didn't know what she wanted, but for sure she considered her perfect happiness when he with Eunbi.

   ***
Winter, December 2013

   The letter with Big Hit's letterhead stared by Eunbi.  She paused in shock cause pf the news from the agency.  They decided to postpone the debut of female idols for an indefinite period of time.  Eunbi was disappointed for sure because she has lived there for a long time and even expected to debut soon.  That girl was very hurt.

   But Bang always knew what he had to do.

   "I will always be responsible for you Eunbi, I hope you understand that this company is not only mine.  There are other directors who have the right to decide this and I can't refuse.  You're still getting ready to debut, but I'm moving you to Source Music Entertainment "

   Bang Si Hyuk's told Eunbi while gave the letter of approval for Eunbi's transfer to the next door agency.  The letter is still in Eunbi's hands, she hasn't signed it.  She didn't know the right decision at this time.

   "You are here?"  Said a voice that surprised Eunbi, the voice that she had not heard for months tickled her ears.  Not only that, his heart suddenly started pounding.
   Eunbi turned to the owner of the voice whose eyes and smile made Eunbi feel like she was attacked by a butterfly.

   What's wrong with her?

   "Not answered, huh?"  Jungkook sat next to Eunbi,

   Inhale.  You must be normal, Hwang Eun Bi

   "Uhmm what?"  Hwang Eunbi answered finally managed to control her emotions.

   She didn't know that she wasn't the only one nervous.  That man, Jeon Jungkook was actually a lot more nervous than her.

   "You are here?"

   "Ouh, of course! I'm not a super busy idol so it's possible to hang out at the office right? I'm still a trainee. Why are you here?"  Eunbi said sarcastically, Jungkook smiled awkwardly.

   "need to talk with Bang"

   Eunbi nodded and both of them were silent.  Usually Eunbi will start a lot of topics but this time she's in a bad mood, also she's too awkward this time beside Jungkook anyway.

   But then,

   "How are you?"  The sentence rolled off the lips of both of them, then they both scratched the nape of the neck that did not itch because it was getting awkward.

   "Kookie! Your turn" the awkwardness was broken by one of the agency staff who asked Jungkook to quickly finish his business with CEO.  Eunbi nodded understanding the meaning of Jungkook's gaze as if asking permission to leave.

   Jungkook had to leave Eunbi with a heavy burden, he's been expected for their meeting when he called by agency, unfortunately he could only see the girl for a few minutes.

   He hopes that Eunbi is still there when Jungkook finishes discussing with Bang about continuing his schooling.

   Unfortunately again, Eunbi never appeared again at the office since that day.
