HARUM SCARUM | kth. [COMPLETED]

Chapter Fifteen

"Stick with Jungkook." Namjoon said. 

She scoffed but laughed. Soon, the event started and before I could even realise it, the venue was actually full! So I guess this event was for nothing, huh? Mingyu must've gained much profit from here. 

"When are they going to perform?" Jaehee questioned. "They were both being so secretive about their performance. They wouldn't even tell me anything! But I'm pretty sure they told you something?" 

"Jungkook's 3rd." I said. "And Hobi's 10th." 

"And.. how many contestants are there?" Namjoon asked. 

"I checked.." Baekhyun, who was on his phone, replied. "About 30." 

"That's plenty." Jaehee sulked in her seat. "They're going up against dancers as good as them. If they won, I'll be happy to know that this banner wasn't made out of nothing." 

"They're gonna win!" I said confidently. "Or at least one of them. But I'm sure they're both going to be in the first 3!" 

"It's starting.." Jaehee trailed off, as the announcer started announcing the first contestant. 

The first two were pretty good, I guess. But I was still confident. 

"Contestant #3." the announcer read. "16 years old, Jeon Jungkook!" 

Jungkook was dressed in a white t-shirt and dancing pants. The music started. He house danced and b-boyed, and did moves I didn't even know he could do. 

This was the best dance I've ever seen him execute! He was really doing his best! I smiled once the crowd started cheering him on. He ended his dance with a sharp move, before exiting. 

I clapped my hands with a huge smile. 

"He's so.." Jaehee's eyes glimmered as she clapped as well, a huge blush on her face. "Dreamy.." 

Soon, it was already Hobi's turn. 

"Contestant #10." the announcer said. "18 years old, Jung Hoseok!" 

He was dressed with a white blazer and an adorable hat. 

The music started, and Hobi started dancing like no other. He flipped, he danced to electro, pop, to hip hop, freestyle.. everything went smoothly and so amazing. He ended it with a stunning move that got the judges clapping, too. 

Then the event continued. 

I clasped my hands together and pursed my lips. The last contestant was finally done performing and pretty soon they were going to announce winners. 

I crossed my fingers along with Jaehee. 

"Are they gonna win? Please let them win." I closed my eyes and silently prayed. They deserved it! They worked hard for this. 

I felt a comforting grasp on my hand. I turned my head and saw Baekhyun give me a reassuring smile. "It's funny how you're acting more nervous than the actual performers." 

I gave him a cheeky smile, but it didn't stop my heart from wanting to run out of my chest. I was so nervous. 

"3rd place," a judge announced. "Contestant #8, Zhang Yixing!"

The man went to the stage, bowing humbly and accepting his reward. This is it. At least one of them.. 

"2nd place.." another judge started. The other contestants, who were all prepped up in the stage, gave the audience confident smiles. I could see Hobi with his head lowered, and Jungkook who was breathing heavily. 

"Contestant #24, Park Jimin!" 

The contemporary dancer who performed well grinned widely as he joined the other contestant to the side. He received his reward and I bit my lip. 

"Please.." I murmured, more to myself than anyone in particular. "Let them win." 

"And the winner of this dance competition, whom performed the best.." the judge paused for a while, before lowering the card. "Contestant #10, Jung Hoseok!" 

It became from clapping to a standing ovation. Hobi smiled wide, and I couldn't help but not notice Jungkook who had his head in his hands beside him. 

Hobi gave Jungkook a small hug, then bowed down to the crowd, the judges, and the contestants. He accepted his reward with a huge smile.

As the event ended, Jungkook approached us with an obviously forced smile, while Hobi was smiling wide. 

"Hobi, you were amazing!" I said, hugging him. "You worked hard. You deserved it." 

I approached Jungkook as the others congratulated Hobi as well. No words needed to be said when we locked eyes. I wrapped my arms around him. 

When I felt tears on my shoulder, I couldn't help but bite my lip and try to sustain mine as well. I hated it when he cried! It's been so long.. I rubbed his back. "Jungkook-ah, don't feel so bad." 

He knew I only added the '-ah' when I was being really concerned. 

"I worked hard.." he trailed off. I hugged him tighter and let him cry until he was finally feeling okay. When he was, the others comforted him, along with Hobi, who treated him some beef bulgogi and ice cream on the way home. 

"I'll work harder next time." Jungkook promised. 

Jaehee sighed and smiled. "Hobi sure is the winner, but you're a winner to us too." 

"Hmm!" Hobi grinned. "I was there when you practiced! It took you your blood, sweat, and tears to get this far!" 

"Don't feel so bad about it, Jungkook. Even you're making us sad." Baekhyun frowned. 

"Defeat is part of your journey, it's normal. But Hobi, you worked hard as well. You deserve the prize, man." 

"But he does deserve it, I agree with that." Jungkook smiled weakly, but at least it wasn't as forced as before. 

"But you know what?" Hobi threw an arm around Jungkook's shoulders, handing him the trophy as the 6 of us entered the train. "We're both winners here!" 

A phone buzzed. 

- unknown number - 

Break her heart.
