chapter 25: Cut
Rapmonster sat in the back row. They were in a classroom setting today. Jhope wasn't there yet, and the trainees were taking there seats.
Lisa sat in the front, disappointing Rapmonster. He did want a friend, but he guessed hopefully Lisa was intiminated.
Jhope came in, wearing a suit. He walked over to the white board and started to wright names.
"Quiet down " he said before turning back to the board.
Rapmonster glanced at the small girl sitting in the desk beside him. She had straight bangs across her forhead and a small, cute face. She didn't look like she belonged here, Jhope was making a hip hop group after all. She could at least gain some composure, she was shaking like a scared Chihuahua.
Rapmonster looked back up at the board wondering if the list Jhope was making with there names in a certain order meant something. It wasn't alphabetical in any way so maybe it was skill level.
"Okay class." Jhope tapped the whiteboard. "This list is where you stand in skill. If you are in the bottom five by the end of the week you are cut."
There were several whoops and several sad noises coming from the classroom.
The girl next to him sighed. She lowered her head and her shoulders were shaking. Rapmonster felt awkward next to her because he knew she was crying. He was second to last but she didn't see him crying.
He subconsciously put his hand on her shoulder and she looked up at him. "I don't want to leave." She said between sniffles.
Twice auditions are over there, this is hip hop, if you can't hang, beat it. "It's okay, I'm second to last. Not much better than last. We'll make it to the top together." Rapmonster wasn't worried too much. He figured he had to be put second to last as an explanation of why he was still here. If he was any higher people would get suspicious.
He scanned the board again surprised to see Lisa in third place. Dang it.
He wasn't jealous of Lisa, he just wanted them all to think he was competition. Not that they looked at him as if he was one of the ones with fewer skills.
But maybe it was an advantage, they wouldn't want to sabatoge him. He could already sense the bad looks Lisa was receiving and also the first and second place.
The two names above Lisa's read Kai, and Zico.
"Alright class, let's start our breathing exercises for today."

Jungkook sat back down in his seat frustrated. Christian wouldn't understand anything in his life. He never has problems.
His phone buzzed in his pocket. He stared at the caller ID not recognizing the number or the name.
He remembered it was a girl named Lani, but he wasn't in the mood to fool around.
He pressed the red icon hanging up the phone and tossed his phone onto his bed. There were seventy-one unread messages. Twenty four missed calls. He was at the point where he was going to throw his phone at a wall.
He wasn't in the mood for girls lately, he didn't want to talk to Christian and he had missed at least four soccer practices.
What is wrong with me?
He sighed and walked over to his bed and grabbed his cellphone.
I'll just respond to one message.
He tapped around on his phone until he saw an unread message from Catrina.
He exhaled and clicked on it. It read 'give me a call.' ". He nodded obediently and dialed her number.
After only a few rings her voice broke through the speaker.
"Hey Jungkook."
"Hi Cat." He said dryly. He wasn't in the mood to talk but he gave it a go anyway.
"I've been waiting for your call, how have you been. It's been almost two weeks now."
"Well, my hair's grown a little longer." Her smiled scratching the back of his neck.
"I suppose that would be the case. Your girlfriend was really kind to me, she bought me food and brought up my spirits. Everything is fine and I'm sorry for interrupting you back then."
Jungkook bit his lip and nodded. "She wasn't my girlfriend. And I'm glad you had a safe trip and a good time. I didn't mean to be a jerk."
"You weren't a jerk, Jungkook. Your a nice person. And it's none of my business, but if she isn't your girlfriend you shouldn't fool around with her. You shouldn't do that, okay?"
Jungkook exhaled. "You're right, I'll quit." He didn't know what he was saying but he figured he should, maybe she was right.
"Alright then, I'm going to go put on pasta. Have a good day Jungkook. And you can call me anytime."
Jungkook was about to say something but then he nodded. "Bye."
"Bye."
He didn't know why she hung up so quick, she still could've talked to him making pasta but whatever.

Blin pushed hard against Jimin's grip. She was freaking out. Her eyes were wide open and her body wedged in between Jimin and the wall.
This was a huge mistake. What is he doing?!
He finally released her and she fell to the ground exhausted from fighting him. She touched her cheeks realising she was crying and she stared at him with low but scared eyes.
"I hope your satisfied." She spat at him.
He looked down at her shocked. Blin wasn't sure why he was shocked and she didn't care, he had just kissed her against her will.
He stood there for a couple seconds to help her but she jerked away and left his dorm without grabbing her things.
She ran all the way to Christian's dorm and made sure to wipe her face before she went in.
She was disappointed to not see Christian but Jungkook lying on the sofa.
"Where's Christian?" Her voice cracked.
Jungkook sat up, searching Blin's face. "What happened?"
Blin sighed. "Nothing. Where is Christian?"
Jungkook shrugged. "But if your here to tell him something serious or something's bothering you he wont understand."
"I'll be the judge of that." She walked past Jungkook but he grabbed her wrist, stopping her.
"You can tell me Blin, I don't have to be your boyfriend to be a proper friend."
"What?"
"I'm saying you can talk to me too. Not only Christain, I'm your friend as well."
Blin sighed and nodded sitting down next to him.
"I need a place to stay." Blin told him.
"Yoongi finally kicked you out huh?"
Blin nodded.
"A spot at Jimin's opened up, I don't know if you will like him though."
Blin tried to contain the rant she wanted to let out. "I hate Jimin."
"Oh? Well most of us do. You don't have to stay there. You can bunk with Christian, as long as you guys don't... you know."
Blin smiled as much as her mood allowed her to. "Thanks Jungkook."
"And you can talk to me too, if anything is bothering you."
He nodded. "I'll take that into consideration. And V will be back tomorrow, not sure where he went but make sure you tell him you are staying here before he finds out."
Blin nodded and texted Christian. She was eager to explain everything and she was scared of Jimin. Sure it was just a kiss but what if he wanted more? What if he found out? He could've gone farther and she couldn't have fought him. The realization was scary.
