“C’mon dad pick up,” I grunted while my dad’s line was ringing. He hasn’t called me back since the last time we talked, is he really busy from work?

“Ah, Hello, Minjoo-ya?” My dad answers, finally. “dad, how are you? Have you been busy lately?” I asked, “Oh yeah sorry sweetheart I’ve been busy hanging out with Kyunghee,” I could hear him smiling through the phone, “O-oh.,” I replied trying not to sound hurt, “Um, is she your…girlfriend?” If she is I’m happy for him but I can’t help shake the feeling of feeling a little upset, he was quiet for a moment,



“Uh, kind of,” he said, “You’re…okay with it right?” “Yeah, yeah, of course dad,” I answered a pitch higher than normally, “Ah, okay, good,” he replies, I guess he didn’t notice it. “You would like her Minjoo, she’s a very lovely person.” “Mhmm” I hummed through the phone, “Anyway how is Seoul? Seokjin and Seoyeon doing alright?”

“Yeah dad they’re fine, nothing much happening here,” “Mmhm, staying out of trouble are we now?” “Yes dad,” I chuckled, “Anyway, I was just calling to check up on you dad, I’ll call you soon, gotta go, have fun with…your girlfriend.” “Thank you sweetheart, I love you.” “I love you too dad.” I sigh and tossed my phone on the bed, I need to relax it’s not like he’s replacing mom or anything, plus, this is what I wanted for a long time. Right?



“knock knock” I looked up and saw Jimin waiting at the doorway, “Jimin, hey whatsup?” I smiled, “hey nothing much,” he walks in smiling back, “Just wanted to see what you were up to,” “Nothing much, why, gonna ask me out to the movies again?” I teased,” “No, well, actually, I was just gonna ask if um, if you’re free this Saturday to come to see me perform at a dance competition with my dance group,” he ran his hand through his hair,

“Oh wow you’re in a dance group?” “Yeah, for a while now, we’re always competing in competitions around the city, we’re kinda pretty popular around here” he said shyly. “Either that or you’re cocky,” I jested, “But yeah I’ll come, I’ll definitely support you! Everyone else is coming too right?” “Mm, no, just you,” “What, why just me?” I questioned, he rubbed the back of his neck looking down at the floor,

“I don’t like telling others to come to my dance competitions, too much pressure on me,” he chuckled, “But for you, you’re fun to hang around with so…maybe you’re gonna be like, my good luck charm or something,” I could see his ears turning bright pink, “Good luck charm huh?” I lightly laughed, “Yeah, I’ll be there.”

*Saturday Night *

As I entered the auditorium the crowd was going crazy for the performers that were performing before Jimin and his dance crew, I was nervous for them, would the crowd cheer just the same as his? Jimin was up front near the stage getting ready to go on next, I can see him biting his bottom lip focusing and concentrating.

I need to make my way up closer for him to know I’m here, I arrived late since traffic was terrible for some reason getting here. I was gently pushing my way to pass people while the group on stage were just finishing their performance, the crowd became even more wilder as they cheer for that group, it was so hard to get by I don’t think I’m going to make it up front with all this pushing and shoving until a hand grabbed my forearm, I looked up and saw it was Jimin.

“You made it,” he briefly smiled, his face went back to serious when people were pushing me out of their way, he pulled me into him shielding me from the crowd on our way near the stage where it was less crowded. I guess it was reserved for dancers and other staff, “You’ll be okay up here,” he says letting go, “Thank Jimin,” I exhaled, Jimin gently swept my bangs out of my eyes and smiled warmly, “I’m glad you’re here, my good luck charm,”



The way he just said that made me feel really happy for some reason, “Yah Jimin! We gotta head up man!” one of the guys from the dance group called out, “Cheer me on okay?” Jimin winked at me, it kind of struck me that it made me stutter my words and before it could come out Jimin had already left going on stage. “I…will.” I said to myself, what's wrong with me?

“Ladies and Gentlemen!” The MC came onto the mic, “The moment you’ve all been waiting for, the most popular Dance crew around Seoullll,” So…Jimin wasn’t being cocky..? “Give it up for INVAZN!!!!” The crowd roared, it was even louder than for the group before them. Jimin was in the middle of the total of 7 members, he seems like the light out of all of them. My mouth dropped as soon as they began because their dance was out of this world. This was WAY different from all the modern dancing I’ve seen him do in his studio.



The way they all were in sync and moving to the beat I can see why they’re the most popular ones here!! Jimin was very into the dance his movements were beautiful, I’ve always admired how elegant and graceful he looks while dancing, the dances always became much more beautiful the way he performs. After their 3 minutes performance, I felt like my ears were going to bleed from all the screams and cheering from the audience.

“I don’t think I need to announce the Winners because…I think it’s pretty obvious!” The MC came back on stage, “INVAZN has done it again!” A model came on stage with a tall trophy for the group, handing it over to them. I screamed jumping up and down just like the audience were until I felt my phone vibrating in my jean pockets. It was Seoyeon calling, she probably is wondering where I’m at since I didn’t tell anyone I was going to Jimin’s competition, I looked around to find a close exit to step out for a bit to answer the call.

An exit was near the stage so I quickly went out the door, “Hello Minjoo-ya? Where are you? I went into your room and saw you weren’t there.” Seoyeon asked, “Ah Unnie, I’m uh,” I shouldn’t tell her about Jimin’s dance competition, they’ll probably be upset that he didn’t invite any of them to come, “Um, I’m uh, hanging out with uh, Jimin-ssi, we’re at the, m-movies,” I lied, did I make it sound obvious? She was quiet for a second, “ahhh, movies huh? With….Jimin,”

I don’t know why but I feel like she’s smirking while saying that, “Well, you two have fun Minjoo-yaaaa,” She sang my name at the end before hanging up. Why does she always act strangely whenever I say I’m with Jimin, I shook my head putting my phone back in my pocket. I turned around to the door that leads near the stage and it was locked!! I tried opening it again but it wouldn’t budge! Great, now I gotta walk around the whole outside building to the front entrance again! I groaned in frustration at myself, I began to walk down the alley as fast as I could, I wanted to hurry to get to Jimin, I hope he isn’t looking for me.

When I was halfway down the alley I saw 4 men smoking cigarettes idling around, they all look intimidating, of course, this would be my luck. I quickly tried to walk past them hoping they wouldn’t try to say anything to me…but of course, I’m unlucky. “Hey, cute girl, where you running off too?” one said, “Hey, we’re talking to you, it’s rude to ignore!” the other said grabbing ahold of my arm, my heart was beating out of my chest I was so scared.

They all started to surround me, I couldn’t say anything, couldn’t scream, nothing. “This one looks innocent as hell,” another guy with a scar above his eye smirks, “What should we do with her? Mess with her?” they all laughed. Fuck. Why do bad things always happen to me!? “You shouldn’t mess what isn’t yours…” said a voice from behind…

3rd POV

“Fuck yeah we won!!!” one of the guys in Jimin’s dance group shouted. The 7 guys all hugged each other jumping up and down celebrating until a model came to hand them the 1st place trophy. They all bowed to the audience thankful for their support.

Jimin was beyond happy that they won yet another competition and it was all thanks to his ‘good luck charm’ Minjoo. He suddenly looks to the direction near the stage where he left her…but she was nowhere to be found. ‘Where is she?’ he thought, something didn’t feel right, before he was about to step off stage to search for her, Beomsoo one of his crewmates grabbed his shoulder, “Hyung we gotta get ready for pictures, let’s go!” “u-uh, yeah…coming.” He felt his heart sank a little…did she really leave?
