Heartbeat - BTS

26

"You got grey!" Jaerin exclaimed as Namjoon nodded, his dimples appearing and his eyes turning into crescents,

Jaerin looked at the other members and smiled, their new hair colors left her in awe as they look new.

Seokjin still have his brown hair and probably got a trim, his hair is still brown and maybe he's not in the mood to dye nor cut it any shorter.

Yoongi's hair is still brown and it didn't changed as well but it got a little darker than the last time, though it grew longer and it now reaches his eyebrows.

Hoseok dyed his hair into brown and his hair is a little longer than before, it's now covering his forehead and eyebrows, brown looks good on him and it's definitely a look as he had black hair for the past two comebacks.

Jimin still have his dark hair but he got an undercut and his bangs are still in the picture, covering his eyebrows and forehead.

The stylist is just cutting Jaerin's fringe as the vocalist has her eyes closed gently, not wanting to have small hair inside her eyes.

"Don't move your head, Jae." the stylist said when Jaerin tried to look at her side where Jeongguk is sitting, his hair being blow dried by the stylist that dyed his hair.

"Jaerin's getting a fringe?" Jaerin heard Taehyung's voice amidst the loud sounds that's coming from the hair blowers that's being used at the same time,

"And she has short hair? You'll look like Dora the Explorer!" Jeongguk teased and a glare was sent to him by the one and only Jaerin who's now pouting,

"The small girl that speaks French?" Jimin asked, watching how the stylist cut the youngest's bangs carefully, making sure that it won't cover her forehead too much so that it won't look too full and cringy,

"She speaks Spanish, Jimin hyung." the youngest vocalist laughed but stopped when the stylist scolded her again, making her purse her lips and laugh quietly.

"Done," the stylist said as she brushed off the hair that got into her clothes as she stared at her reflection in the mirror.

She looked a little different compared when she had her waist-length hair.

"How do I look, Jimin-ssi?" She laughed as she twirled around and flipped her hair a little, making the male vocalist erupt into giggles as he sent her two thumbs-up.

"What do you like, Jae?" Seokjin asked the youngest who's busy talking with Jeongguk,

"Did your order have any seafoods in it?" Jaerin asked Taehyung who's sitting beside her as the latter shook his head with a smile,

They recently found out that their maknae is very allergic to seafoods so they tried their best to not order seafoods or order something else for her to eat whenever they're craving for seafoods,

"I'll get what Taehyung ordered," Jaerin smiled and continued to chit-chat with her fellow maknae,

Soon, the waiter served their steaming bowls of japanese ramen as the members literally drooled by the sight and smell of the cuisine,

The company treated them for their hard work for their upcoming comeback with their new song and title track; Boy in Luv

They picked their utensils up and started digging in,

The ramen that the waiter served for Jaerin is a medium-sized bowl of the steaming, hot, japanese noodles that has this big piece of meat on top, some green onions, and boiled egg on side that's cooked perfectly to her liking,

Jaerin smiled when she doesn't have to hold her hair while eating or there's hair together with her food due to her long hair,

Now she have short hair, there's no struggle with eating and she ate and ate, not minding the loud slurps of the members as she's also producing slurp sounds due to the savory foods that they're eating.

"Short hair is better, right?" Namjoon asked but it's more like a statement as he's a witness of the youngest's whines whenever they're eating due to her long hair,

"Hm! I just have to get used to this fringe," she said and touched her newly-cut fringe while smiling,

It's her first time to pull a hairstyle that has a fringe as she didn't really mind to cut her hair when she's a child, she'll just let her Dad take her to a salon and they'll give her a trim and that's it.

"It looks good on you, you should keep that fringe forever." Jimin said, his mouth full of noodles as Seokjin scolded him that it's not appropriate to speak while your mouth is still full.

"I'll keep it when we get a Daesang." Jaerin said as she smiled before continuing to eat the still hot noodles, not wanting for it to get cold or else it won't be as delicious as it is.

It's only been a year since they debuted and of course, they're still considered as rookies in the k-pop world but they swear, they're trying their best and they know they're going to make it.

Though it's been a year, they won a few awards unlike other groups who got awards months after they make their debut due to the image and reputation of the company they're under in,

They almost disbanded few months back as the company doesn't have enough money to produce nor publish a new song for them,

The members, who's really passionate about the path they're taking, did everything so that they won't disband.

And, together, they made it.

They're hoping for a daesang, though a music show award will also make them really happy.

It doesn't really matter what award they'll get as long as their fans who supports them so so much will be happy and feel loved,

They're slowly getting attention and they hope it'll continue the way it is,

After Jaerin said those words, the table became quiet, making her blood run cold and her eyes widened in fear that she made them sad,

"N-No! That's not what I mea—" she was cutted off by Namjoon who smiled brightly at her,

"No, no. We understand, Jae. We're going to get a daesang, maybe not now but soon. We just have to believe in ourselves and I know we can do it. I'm not telling you this to make your hopes high, I'm saying this because I believe in you guys, I believe in us. I believe in our fans. We are going to do this, together." Namjoon encouraged everyone with a bright smile, his eyes now crescents and his dimples present on the both side of his cheeks,

Namjoon placed his hand in the center of the table, mid-air, and the rest of the members followed suit, bright and determined smiles on their faces.

"Bangtan, Bangtan!"

"Bang, Bangtan!"
