A Child's Vision | Yeri × Jungkook

"It's understandable how you could think that." The first MC said. "So what did you do after?"

"Another friend from SM left with me and we just did normal things. Got jobs and tried to support ourselves even though we didn't have much of an education." Yeri explained. She took a long breath out. She momentarily congratulated herself for her work thus far.

"What kind of work did you get?" Kyuhyun asked.

That's when Yeri didn't want to talk anymore. "Well, my friend, Koeun who you may know from our group, worked as a singer-waitress in a cafe."

"But what about you, Yeri?" The MC asked. He looked down at his notes again. "Isn't it true that you worked at a fortune teller clinic?"

Yeri gulped. "Yes."

"And how were you scouted again? From Jellyfish, I mean." The first MC asked. 

"Koeun and I were attending the cafe that she worked out and suddenly a scout found us and we signed to Jellyfish." Yeri said as smoothly as possible.

"Why did you leave Jellyfish?" The last  MC asked. He seemed to notice that Yeri was hesitant to answer the question so he took a second to explain himself. "You told us why you left SM, so I thought it was only fair that you said why you left Jellyfish."

"There was an incident involving a former client of mine." Yeri started slowly. "Jellyfish had plans for a comeback and instead of following up on them, they cancelled them. They didn't have faith that we could move past this scandal so that's why 99 Line broke into two."

The MC's and even the guests were in awe of Yeri's honesty. She wondered if she had been to honest.

"What about your relationship? Can you tell us anything about your involvement?"

Yeri's mood seemed to light up when they mentioned Jungkook. She smiled shyly and shook her head. "We like to remain private."

"Only one more question." The oldest man cleared his throat. "We know that you have said many things regarding your psychic abilities. Is there any way that you can show them to us?"

Whatever monetary bliss that Yeri encountered before had disappeared at once. "I-I uhh..." Yeri didn't know how to explain this to them. "I actually recently lost my powers."

The group looked at her blankly and theu quickly moved to the next guest. Why was honesty never the best policy when it comes to Yeri?

Yeri arrived to Jungkook's apartment when a heavy heart. The episode of Radio Star just aired and Yeri wasn't very happy. She hoped that the show would've cut the last question from the show entirely but instead they emphasized that part during the whole broadcast. Yeri's blank stares when others were talking were shown many times throughout the broadcast and her own segment took up half of the show, even though it was only a 15 minute interview.

Jungkook invited her to his apartment directly after he watched the episode for himself. He knew Yeri too well at this point. He knew that she would want to see what netizens were saying about her, and he knew that it couldn't have been good. So he envisioned inviting her over to eat so that she could be focused on the food instead of the internet.

As soon as Jungkook noticed Yeri in his apartment, he moved towards her. She was facing the living room, probably expecting to see him in there, when he came behind her and threw his arms around her waist. Yeri smiled brightly and tried turning around so that she could face him, but Jungkook held his arms tightly.

He lay his head on her left shoulder and whispered into her ear, "What took you do long?"

Yeri cleared her throat. "No reason."

Jungkook felt the side of Yeri's cheek grow warm, which was a sign of her getting flustered. He giggled in her ear and Yeri got out of his grasp. "Why did you invite me?"

Jungkook shrugged as Yeri through her hands behind his neck. "Do I need a reason to see my girlfriend?"

Yeri shook her head but bit her lip. "We need to be more careful. I don't want the press to know where you live. Promise me that we will meet outside of the apartment next time, alright?"

Jungkook nodded and Yeri blushed. It seemed like forever since they last saw each other. She almost forgot how handsome he was.

The romantic air was interrupted by a sizzling sound from the kitchen. It didn't take long for Jungkook to run from Yeri's arms and into the kitchen to see that his stew had boiled over. As Jungkook was trying desperately to fix his mistake, Yeri pulled out her phone.

Jungkook didn't notice this action since he was beating himself up for ruining the mood with his own foolishness. As he was cleaning the surface of the oven,  he noticed what Yeri was doing and quickly moved towards her.

He glanced at the article and much to his dismay,  it was an article about Yeri on Radio Star. She was already reading the comments when Jungkook grabbed the phone from her. She looked up at him with tears in her eyes.

Jungkook didn't need to say anything. He immediately hugged Yeri tightly as she cried harder and harder. Whenever she seemed to calm herself down,  she remembered another death threat from her comment about her boyfriend came into her mind.
