Lee Jieun's POV
Just as I slid the bathroom door open, the loud ringing of my phone filled the room, plus the steam. The phone call ended just as I reached for the phone.
It's Rowoon'a number. It was the third call given the 2 earlier missed calls.
It was a bit odd so I figured I'd call back after I change into my pajamas.
—-
"Hello?"
"Hey you told me to call later to decide on time time since you were with someone" He laughed nervously.
"I'm sorry I was in the shower. So where do you wanna meet?"
He nicely offered so many place, it looked like he took his time to think of them. It was really thoughtful of him, i thought to my self.
"Okay so pizza it is?" Rowoon asked me once more to make sure its what i wanted.
"Yes I can't wait its been a while honestly!" I exclaim.
We then dove into an endless conversation that stroke up from nowhere.
—-
"I am actually upset right now!"
"Wait why? Did I say something?" I ask anxiously.
"No it's just that I have to be up by 7 tomorrow and I have to go. I really don't wanna end this!" I look to the bedside alarm clock and find it's past 12am.
Ok I really didn't expect us to be continuing the call like that.
"Oh I know it's kind of natural for someone to be this hang on to me, I call it the jieun effect."
"You're really cute its kind of frustrating."
"What why?.." i stutter.
It gets silent for a bit, so I ask if he's there.
"Nothing nothong anyways goodnight, it's been nice talking to you!" He cackles
"Alright dont dream about me after this long call " I joke around through my yawn.
"You might be too late for that warning. Ok bye." He hangs up.
Wait what did he mean by that?
Shaking my I go downstairs to get a cup of water for the night and hear the passcode door lock beeping.
Its dad.
"Hey honey. You're still up?"
"I was just heading to bed. How was your day?"
"Tiring as usual." He sighs as he heats up the food mom made for him.
"Dad, I happened to come by this flyer that talked about art lessons. I was thinking of joining to pass by time during this winter break." It was actually an excuse so that i could leave for practice , if i ever get accepted.
"Sure kiddo. Anything that makes you happy." He smiles tiredly as he ruffles my hair.

I decide to kill some time by paying my cousin a visit since l had 3 hours before auditioning. I got ready too early this morning, thanks to the nervousness.
"It's your favorite cousin!" I exclaim over the intercom system.
"Sorry I have no ugly cousins." His voice resonated off the device.
"C'mon it's freezing out here, open up." I lie as I pretend I'm shivering since he can clearly see me.
Then the door beeps to signal being unlocked.
"Why are you even up this early? It's your winter break so hibernate you bear!" Namjoon nags like the old woman he is.
"Uuu what do you have this morning so important to have you dress up like this?" He teases as jumps around me, he definitely loved making fun of me.
Yeah I can't seem to do something and him not noticing it. And I can't lie, this is like one of the reasons I enjoy his company. He reads me better than my parents and anyone else.
"I have something important to do I guess." I smirk.
"Is it a date?" He practically squeals.
"Noo! Who has a date as early as now and I can do better than this if it was a date."
"Yeah yeah like you can do better than this." He walks away as he makes fun of me.
"I won't even bother arguing man. So how are you? How's your mom?" I flood him with questions as I sit on his couch.
"Mom is doing good don't worry " He answers sitting next to me.
—-
"Wow I've never been proud of you Lee Jieun. It's about time you do something you want!" He hugs me happily.
Since he already knew about my passion for dancing and singing, I filled him in about my early morning agenda.
"Yeah I still can't believe it but I'm gonna give it my best." I say feeling a bit more confident.
"I can't wait to actually hear you sing." he smirks knowing I always refused to sing in-front of him.
"Oh shit I have to go tho i have classes in a bit , you can stay if you want?" He adds jumping out of the couch.
"That reminds me I have to go too." He nods and suggest we leave together.
—-
"Wow you have friends now?" He teases and I hit him on the shoulder; eyeing Jungkook who seems to have been waiting for me outside.
I hit his chest back annoyed.
"Well then bye I will leave you with your friend." He hugs me goodbye.
Jungkook still eyeing from afar didn't move an inch. I stepped closer to him as he stayed silent.
—-
"Are you ready?" He quietly asks her with no facial expressions to explain what he actually felt at the moment. He wanted to know who that other guy was.
She nods.
"By the way that was my cousin, I kind of wanted you to meet him but he had to go!" She didn't know why she felt like explaining but she did anyways.
With a sudden smile, he looked at her softly. He didn't know why it made him happy either.
"You should let us hang out together one day then" He replies.
—
"You're really impressive!" The head applauded as i smiled widely gasping my breath.
They told me they will tell me the results soon enough. I have to admit my confidence went a peak higher than it should, but I really hoped for it.
My first thought after I headed out was meeting Jungkook.
Then I remembered my plans with Rowoon later on. Still hesitant I walk outside the building doors hoping to see Jungkook.
—-
And she did.
Her heart dropped in an instant just by seeing him. She felt extremely uplifted just as he gently smiled walking her way.
She told him how good it went.
He instantly found him self wrapping him self around her. His neck resting over her head happily. Hands over her soft hair and the other grabbing her back.
She nervously didn't move in shock. Till he started holding her tighter, she hugged him back.
"I am sure they will accept you, I just know it." He reassures her brushing her hair.
When he feels the sudden invasion of her privacy, he moves back. They both quietly stare back till her phone rings.
Oh Rowoon again. He swears to himself and sighs deeply.
She tells him she has to go and rushes out.
He stares at her small form disappearing as she leaves.

We head inside and order food first. He's definitely a big eater. But how Rowoon keeps that body of his, is bewitching.
"So that guy Jungkook the other day," He asks as I bite into my fries, "Are you seeing him?"
Now that got me choking. I chugged water to pass down the food.
"I'm so sorry are you ok?" He worries.
"I'm fine, I'm fine just your question caught me off guard. No i am not." I reply not knowing if I really was.
"Oh that's good to hear. I thought I had no chance if you were." He says as he looks down on his food.
"What?"
"By the way tell me about your friends and family "
He changes the subject.
"I don't have much people in my life ." But he urges me to talk more.

"Oh shut up you pineapple on pizza eater" I fire back as I cringe at the taste.
"Speaking of that, I will have you try them sometime."
"That will only happen if I'm offered something huge instead"
"Does a kiss count?" He straightens up.
I gag in shock and look at him confused.
"Depends from who? Do you plan to get Lee Min-Hoo to kiss me or what?"
"Nope even better, he's right he-" He gets cut short by his ringing phone. He excuses himself.
—-
"It's been nice hanging out with you even though we met yesterday." He laughs.
He had a sudden lecture he had to leave.
"Oh no it's ok! I had a nice time too. Go so you can get there early." We waved goodbye and parted ways.
