(The vote)

Kan’s Pov:

I smoked angrily in my room – with Chul and Duri watching.

I hate everything! I hate Jimin!
Because of him, I was insulted. He made Jungkook make a fool out of me.

“I seriously can’t believe Jungkook stood up for that guy” Chul said and it increased my anger.

“Normally, Jungkook would had just walked away. But surprisingly, he forced you to apologize to him in public and that’s weird.”

“You can’t imagine what those lame students are saying about it. Some even went ahead to call him his crush and all that. This is so unbelievable” Duri said.

“And I can’t believe he wants to become one of us. I mean, what’s gonna happen if he becomes a Lover Boy?”

“Not even in death!” I said angrily and turned to look at them.

“Over my dead body will I allow that animal become a Lover Boy.”

The voting is taking place tomorrow and I’m gonna make sure I frustrate him.

“He’s messed with the wrong person and I’m gonna put him in his place.”

Jimin’s Pov:

I woke up the next morning feeling so energetic and happy. It was a glorious day.

I smiled when I recalled everything that had happened between Jungkook and I the previous night.

Gosh! I can’t believe I was able to fall asleep.

I took my bath and dressed up and went ahead to attend to Lisa.

I stopped and looked at Jungkook’s room, wishing I could see him, but it was locked.

I shrugged and went into Lisa’s room.

After bathing and dressing her up, we went down for breakfast and that was when I got to know the Bangtan Boys were not at home. They had left early that morning for an appointment.

Oh-oh.

Too bad. I was hoping I’d see Jungkook.

After breakfast with just Mrs Jeon, we left for school.

                        ☆☆☆

Believe me when I say this, but my name was ringing on the lips of everyone in school.

They all kept throwing glances at me and I could clearly overhear their conversation about me when I walk pass them.

👥 Yes, he’s the one…

👥 Jungkook made Kan apologize to him…

👥 I heard he works in the mansion…

👥 Could there be any intimacy between them?

I listened in amusement and couldn’t believe my ears.

Gosh! So many rumours.

I just hope I don’t get into more trouble with Kan.

After lectures, I went ahead for my training and today’s section was really tedious because it was the last day of training and tomorrow would be the voting.

We all sang and danced one after the other and miss Jennie commended us for it.

“Remember, don’t eat heavy food before coming tomorrow” she said in conclusion.

“When performing, clear your minds from every other thoughts. The only thing that should be important to you is the task ahead.

“Sing from the deepest part of your heart and dance for fun. Be confident. And I wish you good luck” she rounded up with a smile and we appreciated her.

Then, she left afterwards.

Felix came to me and suggested we had snacks as usual and I agreed.

I wonder if tomorrow’s event would affect our friendship.

But I hope it doesn’t.

“Tell me, Jimin; what’s the secret? Your dance steps have really improved” he said as we sat facing each other in the canteen and I smiled.

“It’s just determination, Felix” I replied and he nodded.

“Well, I’m happy for you. I wonder what’s gonna happen tomorrow. Will the lover boys even make a pick?” He said and shrugged.

It was obvious he was also curious and nervous.

When we were done eating, he left, telling me he had an appointment with a friend.

I walked back to our training hall which had become empty and I climbed the stage.

I walked over to the speakers and turned on the music.

I needed to practice more.

I started dancing and felt so good.

Even if nobody told me, I could tell I was doing great.

I danced for a long time but stopped when I noticed someone standing by the door.

It was a Lover boy!

I rushed and turned off the music.

It was lover boy Il-seong; one of my favourites. And he doesn’t move around with Kan and the rest.

What’s he doing here?

“G…good day, Sunbae” I greeted nervously.

“Hi” he replied simply and walked in.

“You’re one of the trainees, huh?” He asked and I nodded lightly.

“I love your moves. They’re wonderful. Keep it up” he said and my eyes beamed.

Did he really compliment me?

“Thanks, Sunbae” I replied ecstatically and he smiled.

“But…their are some tiny errors you still made” he said and looked at his wrist watch.

“Got some time to spare?” He asked and I nodded.

Of course.

He walked to the speakers and turned on the music again and stood on the stage with me.

Then, he started dancing and giving me some hints and I entered into another training section with him.

It was incredible.

When I got home later in the evening, I helped Lisa shower and eat.

Then, we sat at the dining and I helped her out with her homework.

While we were doing it, BTS returned and sat in the sitting room.

Hah!

I saw Jungkook.

I smiled as I watched them – him – sit frazzled, throwing their phones beside them. They looked really tired.

Taehyung, Hoseok and Seokjin were putting on the BTS polo, while Jungkook was putting on an all-white appearance and it was so beautiful.

“Gosh! That guy’s a complete mess” Jin said blearily and Taehyung chuckled.

“I can’t believe he could be that stupid.”

“I don’t know why he just can’t accept the fact he’s a looser” Hoseok added and I wondered whom they were talking about.

They must’ve had a busy day.

Evans came in not long after with a tray of food and kept it in front of Jin.

“I’m so tired I can’t even eat” He said as he opened the covered food and took out a meat.

Well, obviously they were tired.

They didn’t even acknowledge my pres£nce or Lisa’s.

Evans left and returned with another tray and kept it in front of Taehyung and the next one he brought was for Hoseok.

“Don’t worry about mine” Jungkook said before he left.

“I’ll let you know when I’m ready. But for now,”
He paused and stood up.

“Tell your assistance to make me a cup of coffee” he added and took the stairs.

What?

I looked at Evans and he starred back at me and shrugged.

Woah!

Jungkook really wants me to make him a cup of coffee again?

Evans left the sitting room, headed for the kitchen and I stood up and followed him.

“You didn’t tell me you’ve gotten an assistance, Ahjussi” I said jokingly as I entered the kitchen.

“Of course, I didn’t. Jungkook did” he replied and I scoffed.

“It’s pretty amusing he didn’t get mad at you for what you did, you know?” He said as I prepared the coffee.

“Well…let’s just say it’s a miracle” I replied and he shrugged.

When I was done with the coffee, I put it in a small plate and took it to his room.

I took in a deep breath before knocking on the door and his cold, yet sweet voice replied from inside:

“Come in”.

I breathed out and opened the door, going in with the coffee.

He was sitting on the bed with his laptop in front of him.

“Good evening, hyung” I greeted with a bow as I walked in and he collected the coffee from me.

“Hi” he said simply and sipped from it.

With the look in his eyes, it was obvious he liked it – as usual.

I gulped down nothing and turned around to leave.

“Your training’s ending tomorrow, right?” He asked and I turned back to him.

“Yes hyung” I replied with a nod.

“Good luck” he said and I smiled and bowed.

I felt like asking him if he would be present for the vote, but I felt scared to.

I really wished he’d come.

He turned back to his system and I finally left the room.

I woke up the next morning, feeling really really nervous.

Today was the D-day; the day I became a Lover Boy or not.

I had decided not to go to school. So, I just prepared Lisa and dropped her off at school.

The Bangtan Boys were at home, but by the time I returned, they had left already.

I stayed indoors and did more rehearsals.

I would be singing a song by BTS– Dynamite – which I had already discussed with the instrumentalists.

I ate just pasta and when it was time, I dressed up and went to the studio.

I walked into my training hall and discovered I was actually the last person to arrive as the rest of the trainees were already there.

They were all looking exquisite and Felix waved at me immediately he saw me.

“Hey” he called and came to meet me.

“You’re looking good” he complimented and I smiled.

Really? I’m just putting on a white long-sleeve and jeans with flat shoes.

“You’re nervous, huh?” He asked and I shrugged.

“I guess we all are” I replied and he chuckled.

Hyunjin rolled his eyes at me when I looked at him and I scoffed.

Like I care.

Shortly, miss Jennie came with three other people and spoke to us in a whispering like tone:

“The Lover Boys are here!” She said as if it was a secret and my heart skipped.

They’re here!

Oh, God!

This is so happening.

We all fixed our gaze at the door as we awaited their entrance and immediately, they came in.

Wow!

They were all looking stunningly beautiful with Kan in their middle. And they were just five of them.

But, where are the rest?

“Welcome, lovelies. Please have a seat” Miss Jennie said warmly to them and ushered them to seats which were facing the stage.

The people Miss Jennie had come with, who were dressed in suits, also took their seats.

I looked at Kan as he sat; facing us. He was putting on specs and made him look so hot.

I wonder what’s gonna happen now.

I was so scared.

Immediately, three other boys walked in. It was the rest of the Lover Boys! Including Il-seong who had danced with me yesterday.

Wow! It seems they don’t like moving with Kan and the rest. Could they be having issues?

“Welcome guys. Please have a seat” Miss Jennie said and also ushered them to a seat which faced the stage.

I noticed one of the boys with Kan turned and glared at one of them.

Then, Miss Jennie climbed the stage and took up the mic.

“So, let’s begin”. She said and my heart began thumping fast.

I suddenly looked at the entrance. There was no sign of BTS.

Oh, God!

Could it mean they won’t be coming?

Although, Miss Jennie had made it known they rarely do come, but I was hoping they would this time around.

My anxiety suddenly increased. I was so scared.

Will Kan allow me to pass this training?

Miss Jennie once again, told us what we need to do and Hyunjin was the first to go.

He sang a song by the Lover Boys which was written by Kan and he danced it so perfectly.

Gosh!

This guy was really a great dancer. But his singing skills wasn’t as good as his dancing skills.

Next, it was Felix’s turn and he sang a song by Kwon – his role model.

He was also a crazy dancer. But if you ask me, I’d say Hyunjin still beat him to it.

After him was Taemin and he sang a song by BTS which was written by Jungkook.

He also sang and danced to his best and after him, I was next.

Oh, God!

I took in a deep breath as I slowly walked to the stage. Gosh!

I’ve never been this nervous in my entire life. My hands were shaking.

I cleared my throat as I stood in front of the mic stand and my eyes ran into Kan’s.

He made an evil grin at me when we made the eye contact and I quickly took my eyes away.

Oh, God!

Help me.

Okay.

Then, I introduced myself and my song and began singing. And even if I was too nervous, I could tell I was doing perfectly good.

I sang and tried dancing as best as I could and caught Il-seong smiling at me.

When I was done, I bowed before leaving the stage and Miss Jennie came up.

My hands were all sweaty.

Oh, God!

I really hope I performed well.

“Bravo, guys” Miss Jennie said.
“Bravo. You all were adorable; trust me. You did excellent.
“So, now it’s time to hand the moment over to the Lover Boys to cast their votes…”

“There will be no vote” Kan suddenly said and everyone flinched and looked at him.

“S…Sir?” Miss Jennie called, confused.

“I’ve decided to make use of a different method this section. And by so doing, I’ll be the only one who gets to chose” he said and some of us gasped.

What?

“Kan, what’re you talking about?” Il-seong asked with a scoff and Kan rolled his eyes and stood up.

“Like I said, I’ll be making the choice. So, as it stands, I’m chosing you, Hwang Hyunjin, as the new Lover Boy” he said and Hyunjin screamed and ran out.

Oh, my God! This is not happening.

What?

Il-seong stood up immediately.

“What nonsense are you talking about, Kan? This isn’t how it’s done. There need to be a vote” he said angrily.

“Shut the fuck up, Seong. I’m the leader and I get to make and change the rules. Now, if you’re not happy with it, you can go to hell” Kan replied derogatorily and Il-seong’s eyes glinted with anger.

“You must be insane, Kan. This is not going to happen…”

“Oh, really?” Kan cut him off and laughed.

“Do you really think you can stand me for a second? Seriously, boy; I’d love to see you try”.
Il-seong fisted his hand and one of the boys with him held his by the shoulders.

It was obvious there was nothing they could do about.

But why does Kan have to act this way? Could it be because of me?

My heart got turn apart.

I felt hot tears form up in my eyes, about to pour out.

I knew this was going to happen.

My whole dreams were shattered. They had all gone to waste. Why does such misfortune have to befall me?

I looked at Kan and he was smirking at me. He’s finally gotten what he wanted – destroying my dreams.

Oh, God!

What do I do now?

“And who’re you to change the rules?” I suddenly heard a familiar voice say from behind and noticed the Lover Boys gasped in surprise.

Wait, I know that voice.

Of course I do!

I quickly turned around with the rest of the trainees and there I found The Bangtan Boys, standing by the doorway with Jungkook in their middle.

Whaaaat?

The Bangtan Boys!

They’re here!

They came!

Oh, my God!
