Chapter 56 : Lost Stars

Today, the campus has its Clubs' Festa. This will be the day that the students will get the chance to join a club of their choice, but to get in, each club has its own appropriate way of accepting new members.

Although it is not compulsory to join a club today, students are encouraged to at least try and give their best.

Last night, Jungkook told me that he is going to join the club where Jaehyun and Eunwoo are already members. I heard it's a sing and dance club, so he'll perfectly fit in there.

As usual, Jungkook told me to join them as well, but knowing myself that I can't even move my shoulders to dance without breaking my bones and cracking a glass when I sing, I had to decline the invitation to embarrass myself.

I wanted to join the arts club but I'm always low in confidence, and that is what hinders me from doing so. Seeing that there is nothing for me to do today, I'm convinced that I should just sleep in my room. But I promised Jungkook that I'll watch his audition later.

He is going to perform on a stage in front of an audience and judges. That sounds scary and I'm proud that he will do it for his love of entertainment arts.

Aside from the club booths, there are also food stalls scattered around the campus. It was the ones that kept me busy throughout the day. Corndogs, huge pretzels, and much more appetizing stuff, I can't resist all of them.

I was busy buying churros when someone called me. "Deonne!" A girl shrieked.

That voice.

I turned around to see Yana waving her hands from a distance. I also noticed the six boys who are roaming their eyes around for prey to catch behind her.

After getting my food, I run towards Yana and hugged her. "It's so nice to see you!" I squeaked.

"You too." She sighed. "What did you do? Yoongi told me that he knows who you are." She suddenly whispered with a mad voice. I continued faking my smile in front of the other while she silently lectures me during the hug.

"I don't know, he just suddenly told me that he knew," I whispered back and she moved away from the hug.

"Liar," She hissed. "He said he found you drunk in the streets of Vancouver when you're supposed to be here in Seattle."

"I'll explain it later, okay?"

"Woah, woah. Little big Jungkook might get jealous." Jimin barges in and gently pushes me and Yana away from each other.

"Nice to see you too, Jimin." I scoffed and he winked at me. "Why are you all here?"

"You see, you're not the only important person in Jungkook's life right now. He wanted us to watch him perform, so here we are." He answered.

"Don't you have classes?" I furrowed my eyebrows.

"We have and we don't care," Hoseok suddenly butts in.

I suddenly felt someone staring at me on my left and I involuntarily find that someone. It turns out to be Yoongi, he is tapping on his watch, indicating that the time is getting closer.

I just nod my head at him and shifted my gaze back to Yana.

I acted as their tour guide while waiting for Jungkook's audition. Of course, most of the guys are not interested in the place, they're interested in the females who are already eyeing them.

I decided not to disturb Jungkook, but the rest are insisting to take a quick visit with him. So the six guys went to the dormitories while Yana and I continued enjoying the Festa.

"So, when are you going to tell him?" Yana started after linking her arm on mine.

"I still don't know, but before Yoongi's deadline I've done it already." She suddenly stopped walking and so did I.

"Deanna, you made him thought that he is different for feeling something towards the same sex, when in fact he is not! You're scheme stretched too far already, are you sure you can still tell him the truth without breaking his heart?" Yana scolded.

My eyes started to water. I already thought about that but I wanted to experience how to be loved by him. "I wanted to know the feeling of being loved back, that's why I did it. That's why I started all of it. Because unlike you, Yana, I'm selfish."

"Enough," Someone behind us spoke and there Yoongi stands with his hands behind him. "What's done is done, but can always make up for it, Deanna. Tell the truth to Jungkook as soon as possible."

"I will," He is more like demanding rather than requesting.

"If something happened to him because of you, I'll not hesitate to spread the truth like wildfire." He threatens and I nod.

After that, Yoongi left the two of us and I burst into tears. Yana guides my head on her shoulder as I cry. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry..."

=====

"Let's give him a hand!" We arrived a bit late at the auditorium. The first person already finished performing and we heard that Jungkook will be the third performer.

We help ourselves find our seats at the back. Yana is on my right while Jin is on the other side. We all clapped our hands the moment the second performer did her piece on the stage.

Later on, the stage lights started to dim and I heard Yana asking something. "Hey, Hoseok! Your phone is ringing!"

Hoseok told Yana to hold a few of his things earlier that's why the guy's phone is with her. "Hoseok!"

"Where's Hoseok?" I asked Jin and he just shrugged. I looked at the other guys to see if Hoseok is sitting next to them but he is nowhere.

Suddenly the stage lights turned on and there I see Jungkook wearing a full black outfit. I clapped my hand as loud as I can make it continuously.

My eyes saw another person wearing a full white and when I took a better look, it's Hoseok. "What is he doing there?" Yana exclaimed.

"You'll see," Jimin replied with a proud look on his face.

Michael Jackson's 'Black and White' started to play along with the moves of the two guys on stage. I can't take my eyes off of Jungkook. He is doing pretty amazing.

The last time I saw him dancing like this was at Namjoon's party, it felt like it happened ages ago. Now, he is performing in front of an audience who with not just men but also women. I'm so proud of him.

Their performance was spectacular and I must say that I wanted more. We gave them a standing ovation and Jimin was the one cheering excessively for the two.

Now I know why these boys are famous, they're not just pretty, they're talented people too.

The dance and singing category are separated and Jungkook told me that he'll join in both. So we still have to wait for his next performance. After ten minutes, Hoseok joined us in our seat with a smile on his face.

"You did great," Jimin greeted.

"It's a pity you still can't dance because of your leg," Hoseok chuckled.

"Yeah, it doesn't matter, you did it better than me," Jimin said humbly.

We waited for fifteen minutes before the singing category started, and this time it looks like Jungkook will be alone on the stage.

"Give a round of applause again to Mr. Jeon!" We did what the host said.

The instrumental for 'Lost Stars' by Maroon 5 started playing. I fished my phone from my pocket and immediately put on the camera to record his performance.

After a second, we started to hear his angelic voice in the speakers.

Please don't see just a boy caught up in dreams and fantasies.
Please see me reaching out for someone I can't see.
Take my hand let's see where we wake up tomorrow.
Best laid plans sometimes are just a one night stand.
I'd be damned Cupid's demanding back his arrow.
So let's get drunk on our tears,

He looks so confident, sitting on a stool in front of a huge stage while singing his heart out.

God, tell us the reason youth is wasted on the young
It's hunting season and the lambs are on the run
Searching for meaning
But are we all lost stars, trying to light up the dark?

The memories we spent together were suddenly relieved. From his grumpy facade towards me when we first met during his birthday and to the day he confessed his love for me.

Who are we? Just a speck of dust within the galaxy?
Woe is me, if we're not careful turns into reality.
Don't you dare let our best memories bring you sorrow.
Yesterday I saw a lion kiss a deer.
Turn the page maybe we'll find a brand new ending.
Where we're dancing in our tears,

The way he would always kiss my forehead like I'm the most precious thing in his life. Those times where we would take our time doing art together. Those moments are my precious stars, displayed in my mind called the sky with the uncertainty of them staying there forever.

I thought I saw you out there crying.
I thought I heard you call my name.
I thought I heard you out there crying.
Just the same,

I don't deserve him, yet I'm here, still picking a fight with the universe who doesn't want us to be together.

God, give us the reason youth is wasted on the young
It's hunting season and this lamb is on the run
Searching for meaning
But are we all lost stars, trying to light up the dark?

Singing his final line, I saw he made eye contact with me and he smiled genuinely, I'm glad that he is happy.

I hope I won't be the reason when that smile on his face fades away. I hope he understands.
