JB:

It's been about 6 weeks since we've started practicing, and if you haven't noticed yet, we are using the song Junior and Somin wrote so the guilt is doubled now. Great! Sometimes we feel really bad, but then the fact that this is the only way our dream can be fulfilled keeps us going. We were all in the dorm except Jackson when I got a phone call.

"Hello?"

"Hey Hyung?" Oh it's J.seph

"Hi! What's up?"

"Nothing where are you guys? You guys haven't been meeting us like before. Is everything okay?" He asks

!

"Umm ya everything's fine! Really does it seem like that to you? It doesn't to us. Hehe-"

I'm an idiot

"-here Mark wants to talk to you" I say while he declines and glumly takes the phone

"Hey!"  He says

Jackson then enters the room quietly asking what happened. I told him what happened and then he laughed while Mark was talking and then Mark kicked him.

"Put it on speaker" Yugyeom whispers to Mark

"Ok J. Seph since everyone is in the room, i'm going to put the call on speaker" Mark says and then puts it on speaker mode

"Hey Hyung!"

"Hey guys. Wait i'm gonna put it on speaker too because everyone's here" He says and I suppose he also put the phone on speaker

Suddenly we hear Somin's voice

"Oppas where have you been?! You haven't been meeting us properly for the past 6 weeks and always avoid us with some lame excuse"

"Yea did we do something?" Jiwoo asks

Hearing them say that just makes it 100 times worse. Guilt and sadness wash over me and I feel so helpless. I can't betray them yet I can't let this go. I don't know what to do anymore.

"Um I just need to go get some fresh air, i'm going to head over to the balcony" I say and quickly leave without answering any questions

Jackson:

JB Hyung goes to the balcony, leaving the 6 of us to answer the questions being asked

"Guys answer us!" We hear Matthew say

I quickly reply before they get more suspicious

"Guys there's nothing like that going on. Jiwoo you guys did nothing. Somin, I don't know what makes you think that, but trust me there's nothing as such"

"Then why have you all behaving distant from us since the accident happened?" Matthew asks

"N-" BamBam starts, but gets cut off by J. Seph

"Oh my god I know why"

As soon as he says that, my heart stops. He knows?!

"W-why?" Mark asks

"You're behaving distant because you guys feel like you aren't good enough to be my friends after the whole episode that happened with my cousins, right?"

I don't know what to say. I mean, J. Seph himself gave us an excuse to get away with. Clearly, Junior was thinking the same because he said

"Yes J. Seph. It's that we feel extremely guilty after all of that and we feel as if we really hurt you by not understanding your point of view" He says in a sad tone

Guys, he looks like he can easily lie but we know that his heart is breaking while saying that.

"Umm J actually we need to go, but how about we meet up at the barbeque restaurant and then catch a movie?"

"Sounds like a plan!" Matt yells through the phone

The call ends and everyone goes back to doing their things but I know for a fact that everyone is slowly dying inside, especially Junior and BamBam. They look like they're fine but sadly they're slowly killing themselves. JB and Yugyeom both tried cheering them up but it didn't work. I go inside my room with tears threatening to spill out and sit on my bed crying just imagining what would happen to our friendship.

"Hey did you se- Oh my god Jackson are you okay?" Mark enters the room

I don't respond instead I kept crying

"Jackson are crying because you're scared of what's gonna happen after our audition?" He asks while putting his hands on my shoulder

I get up and sit beside him sniffing but soon start bawling my eyes. He takes me into a hug and I hide my face in the crook of his neck.

"It's ok Jackson the worst thing that could happen is that they leave us but then again we grew up together and so I don't think they'll stay away from us so don't worry about it. Plus think about it positively, what if they encourage us?" He says and I cool down

He looks at me and says

"Don't worry about it and let JB take care of it ok?"

"Yeah" I say

He gives me tiny peck on my forehead because he knows that's how I calm down and then hugs me one last time. (Do I sense Markson happening)

"Ok I came for my skateboard but now I don't feel like it. We have to go for the movie anyways and if you feel uncomfortable at anytime, Jackson we can go home." He says

"Ok." I get out of bed, get ready and wish for one thing;

Please let this go smoothly

Author:

Once they got to the restaurant, the 7 boys felt tensed but soon enough adapted to the 4 monkeys who got them together.  After the movie, Somin caught up to Junior to tell him something.

"Oppa this week on the 29th make sure to come to our dorm at 6. I'm not gonna hear anything."

"Uhhh Jagi........." He starts

"He'll be there Noona, don't worry." Yugyeom says while brightly smiling

"Aww thanks Yugyeom so cute." She says pinching his cheeks

The 4 of them then leave

"Yugyeom! What the hell? Why'd you tell her that?" Jinyoung mildly yells

"Because if I don't, she'll become suspicious and we don't need any interruptions before the audition. Don't worry Hyung the audition is at 2 and your date is at 6, you will make it in time."

"I'm trusting you I sincerely don't want to hurt her, she's worth more than my life to me. And you know that"

"I do, now let's go!"

After that whole conversation, Jinyoung felt uneasy in his heart. if I have to be honest with you, out of all of them he was the weakest because he grew up with them and it's hard for him to betray anyone of them. Jinyoung's parents adopted him when he was 3 years old and that was the same time he had met JB. Since they were closest, because they were family friends, a few months ago his parents gave him the address to his biological mother. Sadly when he went to find her, he found out that she had died a week before and that she never wanted to give him up. So he had these guys to support him. Hence why this isn't the most easiest thing in the world.

I just hope for the best in this journey because it's about to get wild
