Lee Jieun's POV
"Wait it's in groups?" I asks Jungkook as I internally start to freak out.
"Well technically, it's only two groups. We don't even have that much trainess."
"But if I am not in the same group as you what's the point." I whined.
With soft eyes Jungkook gazes at her, "Do you want to be with me- I- mean us like Jimin and Taehyung too, that bad?" He asked cutely laughing rubbing his neck nervously.
She nodded in response with a soft smile, as she nervously had her vision focused on the email they sent her to make sure if there were details about the group.
"Group B?" Lee Jieun reads the message out loud.

"Why is it called JinHit again?" I ask as we walk towards the practice room.
"Its after my friend's name the managers son, he made his dad do it." he laughed at the mention of it.
"He seems interesting!" I exclaim.
"You should definitely meet him one day." Jungkook stops walking as we reach the front door waiting for me to enter.
I opened the door nervously into familiar figures. My eye caught Heejin first, I sighed in relief. She was the actual main reason I wanted to be here. I wanted to make sure she is safe.
Jungkook holds my hand moving my sluggish nervous self inside.
Taehyung and Jimin came rushing to me in a group hug. Recently I have been hanging out with them alot too because of Jungkook so I got used to their company.
"You are with us?!" Jimin excitedly asked holding onto my shoulder.
I said yes as they both came in for another hug. Until I felt a hand in my arm moving me back. Jungkook pointed at Heejin who was waiting to say hi while still holding on to me.
"Lets get along well!" she said with a genuine smile. She made conversation as everyone else joined including Haewoon which I remembered too later on.
Still focused on if Eunjun is here, so I looked around. She wasn't.

After the trainee manager introduced me and briefly helped me and talked through the contract again.
I went back the practice room.
"We will start with vocals today, Lee Jieun we will start with you."
Playing around nervously with her fingers, she looked at the paper she was supposed to sing.
Its a song she sang multiple times to her self but never to people. She cursed inside multiple times and just told her self to do it.
A pat on her shoulder. Yet the sudden relief and feeling of support she felt just with that simple gesture, she turned to Jungkook who gave her a reassuring smile.
She sang. She started as she imagined her self alone. Confidently. Remembering the days she sang it to her self in her room trying to give meaning to every sentence with a figure of her own.
I still remember now
The anxious days when I couldn't tell you
I loved you
Did you know about that?
Her imaginative figure that she visualized to be able to admire feelings she have never experienced, became familiar. It was wide and clear, her view and her emotions.
The beautiful nights of past when we were childish
I am still in love.
You childish person.
Her figure was him. The one smiling back at her with the most enduring and lovable eyes. All she could see was him, Jungkook.
You try to take all of me
You heartless person
If you hear this song
Come for me, I am waiting for you
Everything felt right in it's place.
"Your vocals are really stable and you're full of emotions, that was great thank you." she jumped back into reality absorbing the multiple positive comments right after.
Jimin and Taehyung teasing around with their thumbs up and over exaggerated expressions.
She looked at the one she sang to, wanting to read his expressions the most, he was still silently staring. Then a soft smile grazed his mouth once he too returned to reality after the moment he got trapped into as she sang.

"Guys we have to welcome our new addition! How about a party?"Jimin squealed as he wriggled his body in a funny way cracking us all up.
We finished today's training and I must say it was exhilarating. I discovered that the guys are actually vocally gifted. To be honest I was shook when I saw them singing high notes. They can be serious too when they need be.
Taehyung and I are leaning against the wall outside the training room as we wait for Jungkook to pack his stuff. And as for Jimin, he's pouting begging us to go party.
"A party in the middle of the week? How about we go to a karaoke instead?" Taehyung suggested.
Jimin gladly accepted and Taehyung starts filling me in about the time they went clubbing and they almost got kicked out because of him. I was hollering by the end of it.
"What have you guys done to the poor girl! She's even crying!" Jungkook comes out looking all regretful for leaving her with the guys.
"Oh come on, we aren't that bad. Taehyung just let her in about that time in the club. Anyways we're going to the karaoke." Jimin smiles cutely.
As I sobered up, I see Heejin heading out too. "Can Heejin come too?" Without hesitance, I ask.
They all agree even though Jungkook seemed reluctant. So I go ask her. Surprisingly, she accepts but excuses to make a call.
As we move outside, Heejin catches up with us. "Can I invite someone?" She gives me a flirty side glance.
