“ 3… 2… 1… “ they screamed together as they count down for the new year. 

“YES! IT’S THE YEAR OF OUR DEBUT. I’M SO EXCITED RIGHT NOW! ARE YOU ALL FEELING THE SAME AS I DO!” Bambam shouted and start rolling on the floor. Jackson stacked onto of bambam and cheered.

 

Everyone was so happy but Jinyoung was no where to be seen. 

Mark got curious and look around the house but theres still no sight of jinyoung. He tried calling jinyoung too but jinyoung left his phone in the room. 

Mark got nervous and decided to look for jinyoung at their nearby park.

 

As expected, our quiet and knowledgable jinyoung is sitting alone on the swing in deep thoughts.

“What are you thinking about Jinyoung..” Mark asked softly while walking towards him. 

 

Jinyoung sighed. “ Well, I don’t think that I’m ready to debut.. Maybe the failure of jjproject makes me feel worried about debuting again now. You see.. Bambam and Yugyeom is still young, Youngjae was only trained for 7months, they would definitely look up to Jaebum and I. i don’t think i have the confidence to help or even lead them.. Can I ? “ 

 

Mark patted Jinyoung’s shoulders and shake his head. “ OF COURSE YOU CAN! Ever since we are training together, everyone saw how much you care of us and how you take charge of the mother figure, when we are depressed / tired after training. You always encourage us to do better and also listen to all our worries but not speak about your own problems. Just be like how you are now and you’ll be fine. Honestly, I’m scared about debuting with you all. You should know, I came all the way from LA, not knowing how to dance or even sing. I was only approached because of my looks. Whenever i felt like giving up, its you who pulled me back. So you don’t have to be worried because i’m a real life example of how well you supported our group and you would definitely do well! “

 

Jinyoung smiled and gave Mark a hug. 

After that, they went back to the dorm while everyone was sitting at the dining area having their chicken feast! 

Jaebum saw them coming back and asked Mark where did they go. Mark turned to look at jinyoung and giggled. “SECRET!”
