Reversed

Nana giggled at the fact she was seriously messaging her bias. It was almost too much to hold in. She couldn't share it with anyone either. To be honest, she didn't want to. This was her own little golden secret. Not that she didn't have other secrets. But this one was the best, least painful one.

Jimin laughed softly to himself. This kid had wormed her way in somehow and he was just letting her. He was getting soft.  He'd never really trusted a fan before but something about that girl made him let down his guard. 

"Hyung, since we have tomorrow off, I was hoping we could get some extra practice in?"  Jungkook stuck his head into the room and presented his question.

Jimin looked up at him.  "When tomorrow?"

Jungkook leaned against the doorframe with his arms folded across his chest.  "Tomorrow evening?"

"Nope.  I have plans." Jimin crossed his ankles on his bed and leaned back against the headboard with his hands supporting his head. 

Jungkook frowned slightly.  "Plans?  Hm.  Alright.  Tomorrow morning then?  We only have two weeks till that special performance.  We have to be ready."  He could sense Jimin was hiding something but he chose to ignore it.  As long as whatever it was didn't get in the way of their work, he could let it slip. 

"Sure.  I'll be glad to get this done.  I wish we could stop doing favors for people like this.  We're busy enough."   Jimin sat up on his bed and stretched his arms out over his head. 

"Publicity is still publicity, hyung," Jungkook sighed.

"I know," groaned Jimin.  "But sometimes I feel people are just taking advantage of our popularity.  You know what I mean?  Like, just to draw a crowd for something so small and insignificant, they have to bring us in to dance.  Look at all the covers we have to do at end of the year shows.  Some days I feel exploited, Kookie," sighed Jimin. 

"Yeah, I know.  But, the fans love it.  What are we without our fans after all?"  Jungkook smiled and left his place on the doorframe.  

Jimin watched him leave down the hall and he clicked the home button on his phone.  Nari's smiling face lit up his screen and he smiled.  He was saddened to know that she wouldn't see him tomorrow at the recital.  If all went well, no one would even know he was there.  It'd been so long since he'd snuck out of the dorm.  He had no intentions of telling  anyone where he was going.  His mission was to go, film Nari's performance, and then come home. He just had to be unseen for the entire time he was outside of the dorm. 

Easier said than done.

He traced her smile with his finger.

I guess I'm coming to one of your performances tomorrow. I feel excited but nervous. Your talent is too much for a small coffee shop anyway. I'm glad to get to see you perform for more people. I know they will appreciate your talent as much as I do.

He smiled softly to himself as he stared at her photo. He rolled over to his side and held his phone in front of him. He smiled at her image again and then settled down onto his pillow. His eyelids began to slowly open and close as her face became a bit blurry to him and then finally, Jimin was asleep.
