Jungkook

"Let's see those lyrics! I gave you an extra day. I hope they're completed." Namjoon points a playful finger at us.

I pull out a piece of paper and hand it to him. "Ah yes...I've finished. B-But I don't know about it..."

Namjoon takes a long look at my paper with his eyebrows raised.

Jimin leans over. "I'm scared."

"Why?"

"I feel like I repeated the lyrics too much." He answers.

"Aish, Jimin, that's ok." I place a hand on his knee.

"Do you know where Jin is?" He asks.

I shrug and turn my attention back to Namjoon.

Namjoon looks at me with a calm face.

Probably meant disappointment.

"Jungkook. I don't understand why you're so unconfident about this. It's amazing." Namjoon smiles.

I sigh in relief. "Thank you."

"How about you, Jimin." Namjoon holds out a hand.

Jimin hands his paper to him nervously.

Namjoon examines it.

"I actually really like these lyrics. They're symbolic. A lot of different word choice and I like it. Good job." He comments and hands Jimin the paper.

Jimin smiles joyfully.

"Now. Let me hear a piece from your song." Namjoon claps his hands.

Jimin looks at me, signaling I should go first.

I nod, confidently. "I'll go."

I began to hum the tune I figured out yesterday with help from Namjoon.

All of a sudden, the door creaks loudly and Jin and Hoseok fall into the room.

"Were you listening in on this?" Namjoon stands up.

Jin stands up before Hoseok and sweeps his clothing.

"What? Who? Where? Me? No, why would I? I don't need help on my song. Hoseok who?" Jin blurts.

Namjoon crosses his arms.

"Uh-Uh, J-hope stop trying to get with me!" Jin yells. "Doing the cliché school scene of pushing me into a classroom. How dumb do you think I am!?"

Jin pushes past J-hope after his little scene and heads out the door.

Eunhye, Jin, SinB, and I meet at the café after school.

"My grandpa is making us ramen." Eunhye says and sits back down in her seat.

We all hum in delight.

"So, Jungkook. How are you with your painting?" Jin asks, starting a conversation.

I look at the table.

I haven't been working on that ever since Jimin got me to do the singing and dancing.

But I was happy with singing and dancing. It actually took my mind off holding a paintbrush.

I shake my head. "I'm doing ok. I haven't held a paintbrush in awhile though. I have other things to focus on."

"But Jungkook, you're not going to forget about your passion, right?" SinB asks.

I shake my head again. "I won't. Not at all. I just....I just have too many other things to work on."

"Like what?" Eunhye tilts her head.

I shrug. "School, singing, dancing, my grandmother, the assembly soon, and my song lyrics, and actually you, Eunhye."

She raises her eyebrows. "What? Jungkook, how can I be in your list?"

"You're my girlfriend. I have to keep track of you because I really like you." I chuckle.

She turns red and grabs my hand. "You're sweet. But you won't forget your skill for me ok?"

I nod. "Promise."
