“Don’t listen to what they’re saying, arrasseo?” Jungkook brought it up. 

 

So I guess that’s why he came around. He probably thought that I’d beat myself up over it. He is not entirely wrong and if anything, he was completely right. 

 

“Mianhe.” I apologized to him without even thinking. It felt like it was something very necessary. “I know it’s a lot of trouble for you.”

 

“Yah.” Jungkook grumbled. “Don’t say that. My fans are the ones that are being too much.”

 

I didn’t respond, not knowing what else to say. It’s not like I could tell him how much I disliked his fans or how hurt they made me. It was as though I was criticizing his children right infront of him. I couldn’t do or say anything knowing that BTS  treasure and love their fans so much.

 

“But, Jungkook-ah,” I looked up at him, Jungkook’s face so close to mine as we sat side by side. His eyes were sparkling even under the normal hotel light, it made me feel a little nervous for some reason. I couldn’t understand why either. “Aren’t you supposed to be at rehearsals?”

Jungkook chuckled at my question, looking at me with those soft and gentle eyes. 

 

“I thought you were going to tell me something serious.” He blurted out in between soft chuckles. “Ani. I wrapped it up quickly.” 

 

“Ah…” I nodded my head. “Do they know you’re here?”

 

Does he know you’re here? 

 

“Molla.” Jungkook didn’t seem to care at all about it. He sure had the guts to do whatever he wanted to. If only someonee was half as strong-minded as he was. “I don’t care.”

 

“Won’t you get in trouble?” It was a stupid question. Of course he would. 

 

“Probably. But I can’t let you just lock yourself up in a room when there’s a city out to explore.” Jungkook honestly sounded so sweet, my heart could barely take it anymore. Just listening to his words alone was enough to make my heart flutter but to hear them from Jungkook was a whole other level. 

 

“Tonight?” I suggested.

 

“Geureum.” He agreed. “But why didn’t you tell me you were coming to Tokyo?”

 

Because I didn’t want to see Taehyung and also because I wasn’t going to your concert so I didn’t want to disappoint you. 

 

“It was a last minute decision, to be honest.” It wasn’t technically a lie. I had only a couple of days to prepare for this trip. I was busy reading up more on the Japanese language and certain phrases. 

 

“Ah…” He trailed and nodded his head. 

 

“I’m still a little shocked over the fact that you’re right here.” I couldn’t help but tell him. 

 

“Do you like cold winter?” Jungkook suddenly questioned as he started to clean up the empty packages.

 

“I’m alright. I love it but sometimes it really gets too cold, especially since I have really dry skin.” I explained. That’s why I kind of like being in Tokyo. The weather currently isn’t as cold as it is in Seoul. Earlier, on the way to the airport, I thought I would freeze, become a popsicle, and then die like that. It was that cold and though I love it, I can’t take extremely cold weather.

 

“Ah.” Jungkook nodded his head. “So luckily it’s a little warmer here so we can actually go out tonight.”

 

“You’re serious about that?” I was a little shocked. “What if the fans see us?”

 

“Let’s not care about that for awhile.” Jungkook suggested and to be honest, I didn’t really mind. Right now, all that would sound nice was to actually have fun with my friend in a completely different country and to enjoy the sites. The fans need to understand that we’re humans too and adults that want to enjoy life as much as they do. 

 

“Ka ja.” Jungkook led the way out of my hotel room, the both of us covered up in our winter clothes. 

 

“I don’t think I should let my manager know I’m going out with you, am I right?” It wasn’t really a question. I guess I knew the answer to it. It was kind of like seeking affirmation instead. 

 

Jungkook just shrugged with that cute little face of his and patiently waited for the elevator to arrive. 

 

“Don’t you need to tell your members?” I raised an eyebrow. I was envious that he had members to rely on. 

 

“Ani.” Jungkook sounded so brazen as he looked at me with an expression as though he didn’t say anything wrong. I couldn’t quite understand though. I thought he was a very obedient youngest member of the team.

 

“Don’t you think they’ll be worried?” It was a stupid question. Of course they would be. 

 

“Probably.”

 

“And…” I trailed. 

 

“And I’m just going to have a little fun today.” Jungkook insisted, giving me a happy smile as though he suddenly had no worry in his life. It’s a little hard for an idol to think this way, especially in this society. I guess he felt like a gush of fresh air to me. “So come on. Let’s just forget everything for now. Even if it’s just for a night.”
