THE PATH TOWARDS THE EXIT || BTS

ROOM #7: Jeon Jungkook (5)

...

"So, who is this girl you kept seeing in the gym?" Taehyung nudges the youngest when he sees him smiling by himself.

Jungkook groaned, rolling his eyes and pushing Taehyung away. "Go away, hyung!"

Seokjin and Hoseok was fast to join the conversation. "Yeah, I heard you're in the hugging terms!" Seokjin pokes Jungkook's cheeks which was quickly swatted away.

"Where the hell did you get those information?!" The youngest whined, trying to get away from everyone trying to poke him.

"Are you forgetting that Namjoon is also in the same gym?" Hoseok asked with cunning smile on his lips.

Jungkook widened his eyes... He was not aware.

"So, you have a girlfriend?" Taehyung teased.

Jungkook pushed him away. "You guys are annoying. I'm just trying to help because—"

"Because?" The trio repeated.

Jungkook was out of words. Why the hell is he helping a random girl lose weight? He wasn't even supporting the idea of her loosing weight, but why is he doing this? Does he see himself or Jimin when they both hated themselves whenever they gain weight? Is this how the fans feel whenever they told them that they didn't need to lose more weight but they still do it because they hated how they look no matter what? Jungkook feels frustrated. I don't want her to lose weight, but I need to support her to make her feel better. Or maybe he should just show her that if she won't accept herself then he'd do it for her. She looks pretty just like that.

Ruffling his hair, he left his hyungs staring at him weirdly. "What the hell am I going to do?!" Jungkook asked himself as he trudge his way towards his room.

"What's wrong with him?" Seokjin asks.

Taehyung shrugged. "He's in another crises."

...

It was another day in the gym where Jungkook is just teaching Gippeum how to do some burpees.

"No — not like that..." He stopped her. "Watch me."

Jungkook did the exercise properly and gesturing her to follow his actions. Gippeum felt her whole body already sore from all the cardio exercises, but she didn't want to give up. So off she goes again, crouching and copying Jungkook's high jump. Her weight making her feel heavier than usual because of her tiredness.

Not long enough, an accident occurred.

Gippeum fell on top of Jungkook. She lost her balance and was luckily caught by Jungkook, but due to her heaviness, Jungkook fell back on the floor.

They both find themselves blushing, but Jungkook was mostly affected. He was never in his entire life got this close to a girl. He feels so embarrassed and shy and weirdly like there's tons of butterflies inside his stomach. He didn't even have the power to say anything. He was just stunned, staring at her face, and her lips.

Gippeum started noticing his sudden shyness. She carefully back away from hovering over him. "I'm sorry, I lost balance."

"Tha-That's fine." Jungkook gulped. Eyes wide and still staring at her.

Gippeum furrowed her brows, looking down on her forgetting fingers. "But why are you still staring at me like that?"

"Like what?"

"You look like you're scared of m—"

"I think, I like you." Jungkook cut her off, catching her off guard.
