Foreign Love [new account]

[Jimin’s POV]

When I came home it was only 9PM. Taehyung looked up as I walked into the living room.
“Hyung, you’ve come.”

“Hey Taehyung.” I didn’t even look at him. It felt like all the energy was drained out of me. In the back I could hear the other members in their rooms.

“You guys didn’t go out…?” I asked surprised. We don’t get a night off that often, so I was surprised to hear the members.

“Yaah Jimin, we were looking for you!” Suddenly Hoseok and Jungkook came out.

“Where have you been, man?” Namjoon was now coming out of his room too.

“I was just outside grabbing some fresh air.” I responded.

“For 4 hours?” Yoongi and Jin were now coming out of the kitchen.

“Yah, can’t a brother just chill?” I answered. “I could ask you guys the same. Why are you all at home? You should’ve enjoyed this night off.”

“We actually planned to spend the night together, remember?” Namjoon said.

“What are you talking about…?” I asked a bit surprised. Then Yoongi suddenly grabbed my shoulder saying,
“Of course he doesn’t know what you’re talking about, Namjoon. He was too busy with his phone.” I immediately shook his arm off me.

“Look, I’m sorry I didn’t hear. We can hang out next time again.”

“We can still hang out.” Taehyung jumped up.

“Yeahh, let’s have some fun!!” Hoseok screamed while dancing around. He’s such a fool, I thought to myself.

“I’m sorry guys, but I’m kind of tired right now. I will make up next time.” I said while walking to my room.

I could hear the guys complaining in the background but I didn’t care. I immediately laid in bed. While doing so I couldn’t help not to think about Jackson. Isn’t he friends with Namjoon? I sat up straight in bed. Ugh, what am I doing? I hit myself on my forehead. This is stupid. I shouldn’t think about these kind of stupid things. I decided to let it go for now and went to sleep.

[Tanime’s POV]

“Oewaaa, what time is it?” I just woke up and stretched my whole body to feel human again. I grabbed my phone so I could look at the time. Hmm, 7AM. Because it was weekend I had to go to Big Hit. I woke up and took a good shower. After doing so I ate some cereal and went out.

Today I had my first vocal lesson. There was this teacher named Chi who was really nice. We were divided into groups of four. After we warmed up our voices she gave each group a song to work on. The goal was to give the song a new style. My group members were 2 boys Jihoon and Wongdon, and a girl Namhee. We were given the song A.D.T.O.Y. by 2PM. We went into one of the music rooms where you could make music in small groups.

“Do you guys have an idea for this song?” I asked.

“Maybe we could make the song happier?” Namhee said.

“I don’t think that’s a good idea. This song really expresses the pain of someone who is in love.” Jihoon said.

“Yeah, I think we should keep it soft.” Wongdon said.

The next couple of minutes we spent really hard on thinking not even sharing a word. Then I broke the silence.

“Wait” I said. They looked up at me. “Does anyone know how to play the guitar?”

“Yeah, I do.” Wongdon replied.

“What do you guys think of an acoustic version?” I asked.

“Wow, that’s actually a good idea.” Namhee said.

“The vocals will come out really well this way” Jihoon said. “Well thought, Tanime!”

“Thanks!” I smiled happily.

Wongdon grabbed a guitar and started to prepare. Meanwhile Namhee, Jihoon and me started to divide the lyrics. After Wongdon was ready we started to practice. After we practiced for two hours we had to present the outcome to the class.
It was our turn after the first two groups. (Cover: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1gVILHMdI8c). Fortunately it went just as we practiced.

“Good job!” Chi seonsaengnim said, “I love the concept you chose. Well done.” Jihoon gave me a satisfying smile and I smiled back.

“Now it’s time for the last group.” Chi seonsaengnim said.

Hoon, who was also in my class had to go last with his group. They got the song Call Me Baby – EXO.
(Cover: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sQqZwjrLmCY) They had the same concept as us. I really liked how they changed the song. I wasn’t the only one. Everyone in the class was bumping their head. When they were done, everyone clapped enthusiastic.

“Brilliantly done! Let this be a good example to you class.” Chi seonsaengnim said. “Thank you everyone for your hard work today. See you next time.”

“Kamsahamnida” everyone said.

I walked over to Hoon. He was busy talking with his groupmates. When he noticed they were all staring at me, he turned around.

“Tanime! You were so good today.” Hoon said.

“And you were fantastic.” I said. “But I didn’t expect anything less, to be honest.”

“Thanks.” He smiled. “Do you want to grab something to drink?” He asked.

“I can’t. I have to go to dance class.” I looked at my phone. “Ugh, I have to run. See you later!” I dashed to the dance studio.

“I’ll call you later then!” Hoon yelled.

“Ne!” I yelled without looking back.

“Tanime?” Sue seonsaengnim asked.

“Yes, I’m here!” I arrived just in time at the dance studio.

“Alright class, let’s begin. We have a lot to do.”

After six hours my dance class was finally done. Exhausted as hell I walked myself home. It was 4:00PM now. Pff, I’m so hungry. After I walked in I immediately walked to my bathroom to take a long hot shower. Unfortunately I had to stop early, because I was afraid I would fall asleep while showering. Pfff... I took my towel and walked into the living room to take my phone. I sat myself on the couch to take my phone out of my bag. After I got it I rested my head on the railing. I really need to go to bed... Slowly my eyes closed.

*Bzzzzz Bzzzzzz*

The FU... I could feel my heart beating in my chest. Ugh, I fell asleep. But what was that noise. I felt something in my hand. It was my phone. It seemed like someone send me a message. The nerve... Suddenly my belly started to rumble. Great, I still haven’t eaten yet and it's already 6:30PM. I sat straight on the couch and I noticed that I was still in my towel. Omg, I’m still naked… Big Hit is killing me.
I took my phone to see who woke me up.

– Tanime ssi, how have you been? It’s drama time! Remember your promise?ㅋㅋ Are you at home now? I’m coming! With food! Jimin –

He’s coming…?! While I’m dressed like this?! My eyes widened. Shit! I quickly ran into my room to put on some clothes. After that I took my phone.

– Yahh! You’d better bring some delicious food for surprising me like this! Tanime –

Ugh, this boy. I walked back into the living room.

– Knock, knock… –

What…?

*Ding dong*

“Seriously!” I walked to my front door to open it.

“Annyeoung~”Jimin smiled happily.

“Who told you to drop formalities?” I replied catty.

He then lifted his hand which was holding onto a big bag with food. The smell immediately went into my nose. It smelled like Chinese.

“Come in~~” I sang. Jimin sniggered and came in.

“Tanime ssi, you like Chinese food?” he grinned.

“I just love food and… I’m really starving.”

“Let’s eat then!” he said. I quickly turned on the tv and so we started watching ‘our’ favourite drama while eating.

“Waa, Soyeon is really twisted. I really don’t understand her.” Jimin said.

“I know right.” I replied. The commercial started. “She should leave Hal alone.”

“Yeah.” Jimin replied. Suddenly he had the biggest grin on his face.

“What…?” I asked.

“Is your face hungry too?” he asked still with the huge grin on his face.

“What? What are you saying?” What was he talking about?

“Wait.” He said. He put his plate on the table and came closer to me. I frowned at his actions.

“What ar-…” Suddenly he put his hand on my cheek and wiped it with his finger. I instantly started to blush. I tried to look away but our eyes met again. There was this awkward silence.

Why is his hand still on my face?! I thought to myself. His smile slowly disappeared as he came closer until our faces were only inches away from each other.
