41. "You are born to perform, remember that." (Narration)

Start from the beginning
                                    

Mrs. Jung laughed softly, "Okay, enough with this, you should prepare and don't let us down okay? I trust you both."

Jungkook and I bowed again and walked to the back stage where a busy crowd stayed. We both sat at the corner not wanting to disturb anyone who was busy preparing and practicing their performance.

I am wearing a black cropped oversized long sleeves sweater, a high-waisted white shorts and a timberlands while Jungkook was wearing a fitted black jeans, red jacket and a red cap and yes, he was wearing a timberlands too. We didn't really expect performing here so the clothes we had were kinda rushed but still it is not about the clothes it is about how we will perform.

"Are you nervous?" I heard Jungkook asked me.

I nodded my head while watching the people inside the backstage.

I don't know why but the nerves always got through me just by thinking I am about to face a huge number of people and dance in front of them again. I thought I already overcame my stage fright that day I danced in front of a crowd but I guess it still stayed there for a little.

Jungkook laughed, "Ya, Limario, look at me."

I didn't look at him, I know he is gonna do it say something that will confuse me and I don't want that.

He just kept on bugging me to look at him which I didn't, I thought he already stopped when we got silent for some minutes but he didn't, he put his seat infront of me, sat there and smiled the moment my eyes met him.

He leaned his face to me all of a sudden still with a smile on his face, the same smile I always adore on him.

"What?" I asked him with annoyance.

"Listen to me Lalisa Manoban. You are not in the place to be nervous with that skills of yours, you love dancing the most right?" he whispered still maintaining eye contact to me.

He held my hand this time, I stared at his hand perfectly holding mine and noticed how much his hand fitted mine.

Like it was supposed to be there in the first place.

"You shouldn't let the things you love be ruined because you're scared."

I looked at him when he spoke and watched his expression, he met my eyes and smiled.

But the smile he gave wasn't like the one he gave me a while ago.

It was sad... it was full of regrets.

"Don't do the same mistake I committed."

I didn't speak instead I watched him, I wanted to understand him but he always pushed me away, I wanted to talk to him about his worries and share mine also but I don't think he trusted me enough to do so. I don't like how he always speak riddles to me, it always confused me, I don't want the feeling of being left in the dark, with only ignorance and oblivion.

I want him to trust me...

I smiled bitterly with that thought.

But... do I trust him?

"You're right, but I think there is always a way to fix something that is broken."

I replied and smiled innocently. He messed my hair and laughed.

"You're righter-"

I rolled my eyes, "Can you please refrain yourself from speaking English when you're with me? You're insulting my tutoring skills."

Remember how I tutored this stupid in English, seems like I failed as a tutor.

Jungkook laughed, "I'm just joking! I just want to make you laugh."
