Mia's POV

WHY TF IS SHE WEARING THE JACKET? SHIIIIIT.

I was so ready to tackle Hyeji to her death when Mr Song perfectly walks in, saving her life.

"Sorry I was late." He apologizes but quickly starts the practice.

The whole time, I was forced to forget about the situation with the jacket, while Jimin's piercing eyes are on me most of the time, making me feel guilty.

As soon as we got our break, I grasp on Hyeji's wrist, dragging her out of the room.

"Yah! Why do you have the jacket on?" I whisper-yell as I try to snatch it off her shoulders.

"Since when have you been so protective of your clothings from me?" She holds onto it, making me halt and look at her with annoyance.

"Is that mine?" Jimin pops out of nowhere, smirking, interfering in our conversation.

This bastard just wants to make my life worse, doesn't he?

"I- Uhh," words fail to form, making me sound like a broken robot.

"Ohhhh." Hyeji's face brightens with amusement as she carefully takes off the jacket before handing it to Jimin.

"No no, you can still use it. I told Mia that she didn't have to return it." Jimin insists, giving it back to Hyeji.

Hyeji accepts it and bows. "You have a lot of explaining to do." She whispers, nudging my arm.

Jimin chuckles, "alright, I'll leave you girls alone."

. . .

I've been avoiding Jimin the whole practice, which I've always been doing, and I gotta say- I'm pretty good at it.

I could sense whenever he stares at me from the sides, probably hoping for me to look back at him to tease me, but I had self-control.

I'm pretty good at hiding and burying my feelings inside, which is probably why no one approaches me, since I always act cold and careless, even though I may have liked them.

I can't help but just have trouble with truly expressing my feelings.

"Announcement. Gather 'round." The staff commands.

"You guys will be going to Jeju Island in a couple of days to prepare for BTS' photoshoots for your season's greetings, and the girls' debut preparations."

The girls squeal in excitement while BTS just nod their heads.

I guess they're used to this, but this is my first time going to Jeju since I didn't have the money nor the time to go there during my trainee.

"We need to go shopping!"

"This isn't a holiday Jiwon." I ruin her vibe.

. . .

I don't know why we're going to Jeju Island now especially since it's autumn, and it's too cold to swim- too cold to do anything!

I complain through my thoughts, furrowing my brows as I rub my arms to allow friction to access me to more warmth.

"Remember, we're not here for a holiday." A staff reminds us, probably from seeing my ungrateful face, which made me embarrassed from my unprofessional thinking.

The van dropped us off in a bright resort full of fairy lights, lightening up the mood from the dark aura of the cold.

We arrive in a row of cabins and the staff quickly sort ourselves out.

"Apparently, we have the rest of the night free. Let's go eat after unpacking." We nod in agreement with Soyoung's suggestion and head in our assigned cabins.

"Should we go to a separate restaurant or just the resort's place?"

"I heard they have a buffet here!" I yelp in excitement. "Plus, it's more convenient since it's closer." I wiggle my brows up and down to persuade them.

They smile lightly as if they have no choice.

It's true though.

When I suggest a place to eat, they have no choice.

We arrive at the place after a few minute walk, enjoying the overlooking view of the roaring icy ocean.

I clap my hands at the sight of the rowed plates of food, the faint steam ascending, proving its freshness.

There's also hardly people around. Maybe this resort only attracts guests during summer.

"ATTACK!!" I dart towards the stack if empty plates and cutleries to start loading my plate with piled up foods.

I was too busy in my own world that I didn't notice the rest of the girls weren't following me, so I probably looked like a lost stray kid who haven't eaten for- no one knows when the last time was.

"Woah calm down. Don't you think that's a bit much?" A voice pops up close to my ear.

"Too much? Do you think I would let this blessing pass me? Instead of complaining, how about being grateful and taking as much blessing as you can?" I snap, not realising the voice wasn't feminine.

I turn to the voice and fall back a bit from the close up of Jungkook's face. My raging face drops into a soft apologetic one. I was about to apologise from the rude reply but I stop myself.

I raise one of by eyebrow, a bitchy face on display, standing by my statement earlier.

"I was just saying," he chuckles. "You're debuting soon. That's usually the time you have to be careful around everything."

My jaw slowly drops in disbelief, my face forming into a real bitch who is ready to drag the offender's hair around until they die or something.

"Excusé môi?" I scoff heavily, "are you saying I need to lose weight? BIIIIIIIIIII-"

"No no, that's not what I meant. I just said to watch over it." He waves his hands, stuttering. "You don't need to lose anything, you're already-" he abruptly stops and looks down.

Is he thinking of a better way to put it into a compliment? Because if another word comes out from that mouth, it doesn't make it any better at this point.

My eyebrows creases deeply while looking up at him threateningly, about to trash talk him again when-

"She usually eats that much, but still doesn't gain much weight." Soyoung cuts me off. "Even I don't know how that works. But I demand a scientific explanation. We all do."

Jungkook lightly laughs at her sarcasm, I was about to copy him, when a sharp pain appears in one of my ear.

"And you. Why are you always so disrespectful?" Soyoung drags me closer to her to give me another lecture about manners.

I swear, I get this at least everyday.

"Don't bring out your American attitude here 'cause you're not in America! Stop trying to be a savage!" I rub my ears from the pain once she lets go.

"Now apologise."

"HUH?" I was about to go ballistic at her preposterous statement.

"Repeat after me: Jungkook-oppa, I was being rude and being inconsiderate of your true intentions of wanting to help me. MianhaeDAAAAAA!" She wails in a few octaves higher.

Wtf?

I observe her in disgust. Jungkook and I cringe from her scandal.

"I'm trying to get justice for you!" She slaps Jungkook's shoulder. "You should be thankful, instead of cringing."

"Ah, ye." He bows, making me feel more horrible at myself who denied to apologise after doing something worse.

"I'm not calling him oppa. I ain't callin' NOBODY- oppa." I clarify as they both wait for me to copy Soyoung's acting.

But she gives me her evil glare, knowing I can't defeat her wants.

"Fine. I'm sorry." I quieten my voice in shame. "F-for being rude." I slightly lower my head before heading to a table.

TCH! That was pathetic.

But she's right. I'm in Korea, I can't have this type of attitude.

TCH! You're so pathetic Mia for being so immature.

A/N: Okay, so I'm back in school 😭 I don't have as much time to write anymore, but when I do, I either do some homework or too lazy to do anything so I end up binge watching on youtube.

Aish. But I'll try to update as much as I can 'cause I'm excited for the later scenes I have in mind!

⭐️Voting would really help motivate me too!

I hope the story is fine so far.
Thanks for reading!
