Laurel was by Seokjin's side as she felt all eyes on her. She was anxious and distraught and university was the last place she wanted to be. "I'm nervous." she whispered as they stood outside the dance studio many girls were rushing in from the locker rooms causing Laurel to feel bad about her condition.
Seokjin entangled his hand in hers kissing her forehead lightly "remember what we practiced okay?" she nodded knowing that after class she was to ask her professor for her audition opportunities back.
Seokjin would never let Laurel be without them, dance was her passion and even though it was a start of her eating disorder it was the one thing that made her happy.
"I'll be here after your class for lunch." he spoke as Laurel began to walk into class.
"Whoa Laurel! did you lose weight." she heard as she turned to look at one of the girls from class. She was giggling among her friends as they all looked for Laurel's reaction.
"Don't respond to that."Jimin spoke as he took her hand and led her to a seat. She felt defeated knowing that everyone knew about her disorder, and they began to glamorize it too.
She sat on the chair in the corner of class and thought about all the opportunities she would miss out on if Professor Hyun-Jae didn't grant her audition back.
"Start from first position plie." Professor Hyun-Jae spoke as Laurel began to write down the class assignment. After class was released Laurel stood up earning a look from Jimin 'go ask Laurel' he mouthed walking out of the studio only Professor Hyun-Jae was around.
"Professor." Laurel spoke trying to gain the confidence she needed to ask.
"Yes, Laurel how are you?" she questioned making Laurel feel empty at another realization that she was indeed sick.
"I'm getting better but I must ask you a question." she sighed.
"Of course what is it?"bProfessor hyun-Jae spoke eyeing her carefully.
"I would like to ask if I could please have my audition privileges back, I know I'm sick but my disorder doesn't end in days or weeks it can take a lifetime and not dancing can influence bad habits." Laurel expressed looking at her professor for a response.
"We believe in health foremost at this university and if your health is at stake I cannot offer you a leading role, what can be done is an understudy position which will give you a chance to practice for next semesters solos." Laurel was upset that she wouldn't get a solo but deciding that being an understudy isn't terrible.
"Thank you Professor." Laurel bowed and exiting the dance studio meeting a worried Jimin outside.
"What happened?" Jimin spoke.
"I was demoted to understudy until my health improves I'm so sorry Jimin." Laurel frowned knowing that now he doesn't have her as an audition partner.
He pouted dramatically as he spoke up "I don't know if Eunji could be half as good as you."she laughed knowing that wasn't at all true.
"Let me know how the audition goes okay?" She hugged Jimin goodbye as she walked outside, Seokjin waited with his back to the wall he had two Dosiraks in hand. He made it his mission to freshly pack Laurel's lunch everyday as well as he makes her breakfast and dinner.
"So what happened?" Jin asked cradling her into his embrace.
"I wasn't given my audition opportunities back as I was demoted to understudy."
Seokjin frowned at her response "Well then maybe I should talk to your professor jagi?" he narrowed his eyes as he tried to make his way back to the studio.
"Jin stop it! it's better than me not being able to dance at all." Laurel wrapped her arms around his arm making his expression soften.
"Instead of being hostile can I please see what you packed us for lunch?" She questioned.
"Yes once we get to the place we are eating." Jin continued to walk with her until they entered an almost emptied park. A few kids swinging on the swing sets and playing on the slides was their view as they sat on the wooden benches. Jin opened the lunch boxes revealing fresh Gimbap.
"This one's for you." Jin spoke handing Laurel the dorsirak that he made for her specifically a compartment filled up with fresh fruit and vegetables because he figured she would eat that more likely.
To his dismay Laurel picked up her chopsticks and placed one of his rolls in her mouth. "You can't feed me fruit everyday." she rolled her eyes causing him to place more of his rolls on her tray.
Although recovery was hard she found it a bit easier if he was by her side, he's gone out of his way to make her comfortable in this transition.
"So I've been thinking." Laurel spoke her mouth full of rice that she picked off of Seokjin's plate. "About us and our relationship." Jin's eyes widened at her statement piercing his lips together he gulped.
"What about it?" his shocked response almost put Laurel in fits of giggles.
"So it came to me that I wanted a boyfriend and-" Jin began to cough in nervousness the redness of his cheeks becoming evident.
Surely he wanted Laurel to be his, he's wanted her since he first saw her sitting alone in the universities cafeteria. The way she made him feel always forced him to cower away from asking, always pushing it off til the next moment to find his courage.
"Are you okay?" Laurel giggled rubbing Jin's back as he was hunched over.
"I know what you are asking and I completely agree." he spoke rising up to make eye contact. "I've wanted you since I've first laid eyes on you and you answered all my jokes, you are the most precious thing that's entered my life and I wish to cherish you for as long as you'd let me."Laurel sighed she was mesmerized by his deep brown eyes his beauty impeccable on its own.
"Would you be my girlfriend?" Jin asked and Laurel responded by placing her lips on his.
"Of course, I wouldn't want it any other way." she spoke leaning her forehead on his own. They were quickly interrupted by Seokjin's phone seeing that Jimin was calling.
"Yes." Jin growled earning a playful smack from Laurel.
"I made the auditions I'm the lead male role! " Jimin spoke through the speaker.
"And I'm the second lead!" Jungkook shouted making Jin laugh.
"That's great we knew you'd get it." Jin responded.
"Yeah and another thing."Jimin sighed "I think I may know who told Professor Hyun-Jae about Laurel's disorder." Seokjin looked from his phone to the girl beside him with a worried expression as Laurel felt a lump in her throat not wanting to know who it could be.
