{a few days later, seoul, korea}
                          
areum had not gone to school in two weeks. she was stuck doing homework at three am in between sessions with jungkook's noted sprawled out around her on the dance floor. she would ask jungkook to turn in her work for her the next day. she was starting to fall asleep but she knew she couldn't because if she didn't finish the work now her busy schedule would not allow her to finish it until tomorrow. which also happened to be the day it was due.
                          
"hey..." jungkook said as he sat criss cross in front of her work
                          
"kookie i'm drowning in school work." she said sleepily running a hand through her hair 
                          
"i know, you're living the kpop life my friend." he said with a smile and she rolled her eyes
                          
"it sucks." she mumbled and gave him the finished worksheets and started cleaning up his notes
                          
"not always. just wait until you start performing and doing interviews." he tried to lift her spirit and she sighed 
                          
"i'm just... so tired." she was about to break down she had never worked this hard in her life 
                          
"i know jagiya." he said and took the papers from her hands to hug her tightly. she hugged him back, burying her face into his chest.
                          
"kookie?" she whispered and looked up at him
                          
"hm?" he looked down at her 
                          
"how do you manage to always make me feel better?"  she smiled
                          
"because i just know you well enough." he smiled back at her and she buried her head back in his chest. his heart was beating so fast and he was so extremely nervous to have her in his arms. he truly didn't know he could speak so smoothly and reply without stuttering.
                          
"babo your heart has been beating so fast this whole time, why?"  he froze at her words 
                          
"i-i..." he blushed hard   "you just..." he couldn't finish his sentence
                          
she rolled his eyes at him and pecked his cheek before she stood up 
                          
"i have to go get ready. thanks for everything kookie." she ruffled his hair and left and he just sat there blushing and in shock

after the photo shoot was done it was around seven thirty in the morning and both nari and areum were having a lot of trouble staying awake.
                          
"unnie how are we not dead yet." areum asked, she was curled up in the backseat attempting to stay awake 
                          
"i honestly don't know." nari said, she was also curled up but in the front seat. she was resting her eyes and she was sure she would fall asleep.
                          
the van came to a stop and areum looked out the window to see taehyung, jungkook (who said his ankle wasn't bothering him anymore), hoseok, and jimin standing outside of their door. nari looked up to see what she was looking at and she jumped up. 
                          
"i forgot about rehearsal!" nari yelled. the company had gotten upset that bts and the duo were spending so much time together and decided they should put their time to good use and have the boys mentor the trainees.
                          
"i don't wanna go." areum mumbled and the driver opened the door for them. she locked eyes with taehyung and she dragged her restless body towards the boys.
                          
"so rehearsal are when?" she asked with a yawn
                          
"in twenty minutes but we thought we'd do a private rehearsals and focus on your weaknesses." jimin explained and areum nodded sleepily 
                          
together they walked to the studio. jungkook and hoseok would help her with her dance and taehyung and jimin would help nari. the girls had learned a basic choreography that would pinpoint exactly what they needed help with. for areum it was hard to do stiff movements, thankfully there were few but she would have to learn.
                          
"i'm a hiphop dancer not a ballerina!" she was very frustrated. her body looked didn't look like she wanted it to.
                          
"here look just follow me." hoseok said and went through the motions slowly. areum tried to do it exactly like him but when she did it it looked awkward.
                          
without thinking it through jungkook grabbed areum's wrists and did the slowly did the motions for her still very careful with his ankle. areum eased into it and moved her legs as he instructed.
                          
"you did great." jungkook whispered. their ending position was extremely close together, but areum didn't mind she liked to feel his heart beating so quickly.
                          
"thank you." she smiled and suddenly hugged him excitedly "i don't know what i'd do without you oppa!"
