" Fuck ! Yes ! I am done with the final practice ...Tae ." Jungkook huffed, completing his dance and drinking water .
" Wow ! Cool . Well done . I know you will do it the best!" Taehyung said , patting Jungkook's head .
" Yes . Thank you Tae .. Oh ! But you know ? Yesterday ni—"
" Yes .. Jimin told me and Hobi everything.... after you left his dorm room yesterday night itself. We know everything.. and I also know that you will keep my best friend happy. " Taehyung smiled at Jungkook .
" Ah .. yes Tae .. but how do you know that Jimin's choice is going to be me only?" Jungkook asked .
" Believe me .. his eyes are so full of love for you that he dosen't even need to speak. " Taehyung said , as Jungkook nodded his head . " Ohkay ."
" But .. speaking of Jimin.. where is he?" Jungkook asked, as Taehyung got somewhat tensed up .
" J-Jimin? H-he.. he is with Hobi .. yes .. they are giving a final touch to their dance practice and I've completed mine . So .. I am here and they are there together. " Taehyung said , as Jungkook smiled . " Okay. I can't wait to see Jimin dance. He's such a graceful dancer. God! I am sure he'll win the student of the year trophy. " Jungkook said.
" You've seen him dance before?" Taehyung asked , as Jungkook nodded.
" Yes . I did and believe me .. my eyes were blessed. "

" SO .. MY STUDENTS .. WITH THIS DAY .. WE'VE REACHED THE LAST STAGE OF WINNING THE STUDENT OF THE YEAR COMPETITION. " Seokjin said , as everyone clapped and cheered .
" The top ten students are here to compete for this oh so marvelous trophy. " Seokjin said, as all the qualified students were practicing and warming up backstage.
Jungkook was pacing up and down , looking at the watch and then at the door . Jimin still wasn't there and his was the first performance.
" Well Hello there bro ! " Yoongi came and patted Jungkook's shoulder .
" Hi ." Jungkook responded, looking at the door again .
" Waiting for someone ?" Yoongi said, as Jungkook looked at him with an irritated expression.
" Are you fucking blind? Jimin is still not here ." Jungkook said, as Yoongi shrugged . " So ? Who even cares ? I only care about my trophy. He can well fuck off . I only care about his decision tonight. " Yoongi said , and walked away .
" Unbelieveable Yoongi. Just fucking Unbelieveable. That's why Jimin won't choose you at all." Jungkook whispered under his breathe .
Just then , to his relief , a very beautiful and pretty voice called him out .
He turned his head so fast , that he nearly snapped his neck .
It was Jimin , running towards him . But , what confused Jungkook was that Jimin was in normal clothes . Not performance clothes .
Jimin came running up to him and hugged him tight. Jungkook hugged him back and made to press a slight kiss on Jimin's head, but Jimin retracted himself back .
" Kookie . I know today you will win . I know today the student of the year award will be yours. All the best !" Jimin said , as Jungkook nodded .
" Yes . Thank you Jimin . But .. where are your performance outfit ? You are in this too . Remember?" Jungkook asked confused , as Jimin just smiled and shook his head . " All the best Jungkook!" Jimin said, and ran off .
" WHAT ? WAIT JIMIN!" Jungkook made to run behind Jimin, but he was pulled back by a hand. He looked back. It was Hoseok .
" Jungkook.. it's not the time . You have your performance soon . " Hoseok said , and Jungkook was going to argue back , when suddenly Seokjin's voice boomed again.
" NOW .. WITH THE PERFORMANCE.. I AM SURE MY STUENTS ARE READY BACKSTAGE.. SO .. THE FIRST TO PERFORM WILL BE .. JEON JUNGKOOK!" Seokjin said , as Jungkook looked at Hoseok and then Taehyung.
" Why me ? I should've been Ji—"
" Jungkook! Go . All the best !" Taehyung said , pushing him towards the stage .

Jungkook entered the stage, with a heavy heart and a confused mind . Why had Jimin not come? Won't he perform?
Jungkook had so many unanswered questions, and with these , he found himself in the middle of the vast stage , with the audience clapping and jeering. He looked around , but there was no Jimin. He wasn't there even .
" Jungkook?" Seokjin softly called out , snapping Jungkook from his trance.
" All the best ." He said to Jungkook, who nodded. " Thanks Seokjin ." He said , as Seokjin nodded and left the stage .
The lights deemed, providing Jungkook the spotlight. Still, his vision provided him the sight of the three judges .
He heard the song " Euphoria " beginning to play . This was the song he had prepared , and all dedicated to Jimin.
He slowly began to move his body along with the song . Thinking of Jimin, his grandmother. He leapt high in the air , landing perfectly, performing like a flawless swan , a beautiful dancer .. who came up the stage to fill everyone's hearts with EUPHORIA. He completely got lost in the song ,closing his eyes , as the lyrics of the song slowly began to gather tears in his eyes .
The whole auditorium had fallen silent, the judges almost numb by Jungkook's ethereal dancing charm . He was a graceful dancer.
But , halfway through the dance, suddenly the sad news of his grandmother passing away, and with her taking away half his life flashed in front of his eyes . Then pictures of his mom and dad abandoning him and then a small flash of his half abused brother , and that's when Jungkook leapt high up in the air , and instead of landing on his feet perfectly this time , like before, he landed straight on the ground , not being able to control such an emotional rush, and began to cry uncontrollably on the stage, kneeling down .
Everyone stood up , seeing such a sudden heartbreaking sight .
Jungkook was crying , his tears pooling on the stage, beneath him .
" J-Jimin ..." he whisperd , crying .
And suddenly, he felt his face getting cupped , and he himself looking at two beautiful eyes.
" Jungkook? What happened?" Jimin said , kneeling on the stage, in front of Jungkook.
" I can't... just can't take it anymore Jimin..." Jungkook said, as Jimin kissed his head and slowly helped him up to his feet . He then bowed to the audience and judges, and slowly helped Jungkook out from the stage, leaving everyone in frenzy, with the sight they had just witnessed .
