Unexpected ↠ Jikook

>Chapter 13<

Jungkook

It's been a few months and I've been vigorously practicing everyday. I lost contact with the boys and the only people I interact with are my roommates and my trainers. I've only ever talked to Seokjin hyung but I still don't talk to him that much. One day, I was suddenly called to a meeting with Bang PD-nim.

Knocking on the office door, I enter when I hear Bang PD-nim say 'enter'. I internally gasp when I see 6 other boys gathered in the room as well. "Hello PD-nim," Quickly bowing, I stand next to a bored looking Yoongi hyung. "You all must be wondering why I called you here right?" Bang PD asks and we nod.

"I've called you all here to discuss your debut."

Our jaws hung open in shock and we stared at each other with wide eyes. "I know it's surprising, you've only been training for 5 months. But I've seen your chemistry and skills as a group as well as your talents individually. You boys have been beyond the standard and have blown away my expectations. This is why I talked with the staff and we all agreed to have you boys debut."

"Thank you for this opportunity PD-nim, We won't disappoint you." Namjoon hyung replies and bows a perfect 90 degrees. We all bow together and he chuckles. "I know you won't. Training for debut will start next week. Till then, your schedules will remain the same. You all are dismissed." We bow one last time before exiting the office.

"We made it boys. We're going to debut, together." Namjoon hyung announces once we're far enough from the office with developing tears. Soon, they start to fall and Namjoon hyung cries in happiness. We all start to shed tears as well and soon huddle together for a group hug. Though, Taehyung stays away from us.

After congratulating each other for the last time, we walk off to finish our schedules for the rest of the day. Looking at Jimin after all this time has brought back pushed away feelings. Confidence surges through me from nowhere and I chase after Jimin, "Jimin!" Upon hearing his name, he halts and turns around. "Yes?" He stares me confused as I pant to catch my breath after running.

I don't reply to Jimin but simply grab his wrist and drag him to a nearby, empty practice room. Locking the door after we enter, I stay quiet. Jimin stares at my silence, confused and goes to speak, "Uhm Jungko–" I cut him off by trapping him in between the wall and myself. "Why have you been ignoring me for so long?" His mouth instantly shuts after hearing my question but he bites his lips while starting to speak, "I was busy–"

"Don't give me that bullshit!"

Jimin seems surprised at my outburst. Seeing his silence, I continue talking. "We've had so many dance practices together, vocal lessons after one another. You couldn't have talked to me once?!" I slowly let go of him and stand with my head bowed down. I didn't want him to see my teary eyes and trembling lips. "I get that you needed time after it... but I'm involved in this too! I have feelings too! You think I feel okay with being ignored after the incident? You think I'm okay with all the dirty looks that Taehyung gives me every time we come across each other? I'm not okay with it." Finally looking at him, a tear slips down as hard as I try for it not to fall. "I understand then, I'll stop now." Quickly wiping away a few stray tears, I leave the practice room and a shocked Jimin behind.

It's hard.

We recently started the training and practice for our debut and to say it's difficult is an understatement. The choreography is complicated and tiring. Paired with the live singing and the ability to stay stable while dancing. It's all so different from our normal training. I can tell they have made our schedule more rigorous in order to prepare us for the big debut.

Not only that, but seeing Jimin and Taehyung everyday for 14 hours straight is mentally exhausting. Everyone can make out the tension between us three but haven't uttered a word about it. Jimin keeps trying to talk to me whenever we're alone but I only shrug him off. My mental health has started to deteriorate as well and the only thing keeping me going is my chance to debut as an idol.

"Jungkook, are you okay?" I'm snapped out of my thoughts by Seokjin hyung's voice. Shaking my head, I lightly smile and nod my head yes. We were having a small break from practice and I was completely out of it today. I could tell that Hyunsoo hyung knew something was up with me since he never scolded me when I made mistakes. "Jungkook, please come with me for a few minutes." Hyunsoo hyung approached us and I slowly got up, following him out of the door.

"I'm worried about you. You were completely out of it today." He finally spoke after a minute of silence. "I think you should take a break for a few days, get yourself together. You should be in proper condition for your debut. I'll inform PD-nim about this okay? Go visit home if you want, just please take care of yourself okay? " Patting my shoulder in a comforting manner, he heads back into the room, leaving me outside in my thoughts.

I walk to my dorm, which is about a 10-minute walk, and rush into my room once I reach. None of my roommates seem to be here yet so I flop onto my bed in my room. Coming to a decision of what to do, I let my eyes close and sleep consume me.

I'm finally back with a new chapter! Sorry for the long wait, I've just had no idea what to write for this story. It's probably going to be a while till I upload the next chapter ( knowing me ) but I'll try my very best to update frequently!
