I'll be at the end of that alley

Chapter 55) Side Story Jimin (1)

๊น€์„์ง„ image

๊น€์„์ง„

My son!!

๋‚˜๋ ˆ์ด์…˜

Seokjin showed the members a picture of Sijin with a wide smile and shouted loudly.

๊น€์„์ง„ image

๊น€์„์ง„

Oh!! You're saying he's this handsome because he looks like me??

๋‚˜๋ ˆ์ด์…˜

As soon as Seokjin finished speaking, Jimin, who was next to him, shook his head and said

๋ฐ•์ง€๋ฏผ image

๋ฐ•์ง€๋ฏผ

Bro, I've said that more than 10 times now. I'm sick of it.

๋‚˜๋ ˆ์ด์…˜

The members nod their heads at Jimin's facts.

๊น€์„์ง„ image

๊น€์„์ง„

Even if it's been more than 10 times, you have to listen! My son is talking...!!

๊น€๋‚จ์ค€ image

๊น€๋‚จ์ค€

Here we go again, guys, take cover.

๋‚˜๋ ˆ์ด์…˜

As soon as Namjoon finished speaking, some members stood up as if they had been waiting, while the rest turned their heads to look at their phones.

๊น€์„์ง„ image

๊น€์„์ง„

...bad things...

๋‚˜๋ ˆ์ด์…˜

Seokjin glares at the members with his mouth sticking out....

๋‚˜๋ ˆ์ด์…˜

As if nothing had happened, I started to look at Shijin's photo again and start to feel lost.

๋‚˜๋ ˆ์ด์…˜

Jimin, who was quietly looking at Seokjin, thought

๋ฐ•์ง€๋ฏผ image

๋ฐ•์ง€๋ฏผ

'...hyung...you look happy'

๋‚˜๋ ˆ์ด์…˜

I thought it was all over

๋‚˜๋ ˆ์ด์…˜

Unrequited love isn't easily erased, but I thought it could be erased with effort.

๋‚˜๋ ˆ์ด์…˜

but....

๋ฐ•์ง€๋ฏผ image

๋ฐ•์ง€๋ฏผ

'.....Do you still...have any regrets?... Haa...Me too...'

๋‚˜๋ ˆ์ด์…˜

Every time I met Shiwol, I couldn't control my pounding heart.

๋‚˜๋ ˆ์ด์…˜

So... I felt sorry for Seokjin

๋‚˜๋ ˆ์ด์…˜

You sent me to make me happy...

๋‚˜๋ ˆ์ด์…˜

Jimin opened his mouth as he stood up to calm his complicated mind.

๋ฐ•์ง€๋ฏผ image

๋ฐ•์ง€๋ฏผ

Hey, I'm going out to get some fresh air.

๊น€์„์ง„ image

๊น€์„์ง„

Huh? Where are you going?

๋‚˜๋ ˆ์ด์…˜

Seokjin asked Jimin instead of looking at the photo.

๋ฐ•์ง€๋ฏผ image

๋ฐ•์ง€๋ฏผ

....I'm just going to get some fresh air before the show. I'll be back soon.

๋‚˜๋ ˆ์ด์…˜

Seokjin nodded at Jimin's words.

๊น€์„์ง„ image

๊น€์„์ง„

Okay, have a good trip!

๋‚˜๋ ˆ์ด์…˜

Namjoon shouted next.

๊น€๋‚จ์ค€ image

๊น€๋‚จ์ค€

Be on time!

๋‚˜๋ ˆ์ด์…˜

Jimin nodded once to indicate he understood, picked up his coat, and left the waiting room.

๋ฐ•์ง€๋ฏผ image

๋ฐ•์ง€๋ฏผ

Phew...

๋‚˜๋ ˆ์ด์…˜

Jimin walked down the hallway, stretching.

๋‚˜๋ ˆ์ด์…˜

It was a performance I'd always done, but I was always nervous as if it were my first time.

๋‚˜๋ ˆ์ด์…˜

I love dancing, hanging out with the members, and traveling to different countries to perform.

๋‚˜๋ ˆ์ด์…˜

But there's just one thing...

์œ ์‹œ์›” image

์œ ์‹œ์›”

Huh? Jimin?

๋‚˜๋ ˆ์ด์…˜

Jimin raised his head and looked ahead...

๋‚˜๋ ˆ์ด์…˜

Siwol was approaching him with a bright smile.

๋‚˜๋ ˆ์ด์…˜

Then...

๋‚˜๋ ˆ์ด์…˜

Heart pounding

๋‚˜๋ ˆ์ด์…˜

My heart started beating fast

๋‚˜๋ ˆ์ด์…˜

As Siwol grew closer to Jimin, Jimin blushed slightly and opened his mouth.

๋ฐ•์ง€๋ฏผ image

๋ฐ•์ง€๋ฏผ

Uh... Siwol... Hello...

๋‚˜๋ ˆ์ด์…˜

Shiwol also smiled and nodded at Jimin's greeting.

์œ ์‹œ์›” image

์œ ์‹œ์›”

Where are you going?

๋‚˜๋ ˆ์ด์…˜

Jimin stuttered and opened his mouth to answer Siwol's question.

๋ฐ•์ง€๋ฏผ image

๋ฐ•์ง€๋ฏผ

Ah...I...want to sleep...I'm going to go get some fresh air for a bit haha

์œ ์‹œ์›” image

์œ ์‹œ์›”

It's good to calm your mind and cool your head before the performance. Take care!

๋‚˜๋ ˆ์ด์…˜

Siwol nodded at Jimin's words and continued speaking...

๋‚˜๋ ˆ์ด์…˜

After greeting Jimin, I walked towards the waiting room where the members were.

๋‚˜๋ ˆ์ด์…˜

anyway...

๋ฐ•์ง€๋ฏผ image

๋ฐ•์ง€๋ฏผ

You must have come to see Seokjin hyung...

๋‚˜๋ ˆ์ด์…˜

Jimin left with a bitter smile.

๋ฐ•์ง€๋ฏผ image

๋ฐ•์ง€๋ฏผ

Heh....what's so pretty today...

๋‚˜๋ ˆ์ด์…˜

Leaving behind a single word filled with regret...

๋‚˜๋ ˆ์ด์…˜

Rooftop of the concert hall

๋‚˜๋ ˆ์ด์…˜

This is a place you shouldn't have come to, but somehow your feet ended up here.

๋‚˜๋ ˆ์ด์…˜

As I looked up at the sky without thinking, I felt my mind calm down.

๋‚˜๋ ˆ์ด์…˜

Jimin looked up at the sky trying to forget what happened earlier...

๋ฐ•์ง€๋ฏผ image

๋ฐ•์ง€๋ฏผ

Forget it....Park Jimin....

๋‚˜๋ ˆ์ด์…˜

I lay on the rooftop and muttered quietly.

๋‚˜๋ ˆ์ด์…˜

At that moment.....

๋ฐ•์ง€๋ฏผ image

๋ฐ•์ง€๋ฏผ

?

๋‚˜๋ ˆ์ด์…˜

A song was heard from somewhere.

???

It's not a special scenery yet~ Just wait a little bit and you'll know~๐ŸŽถ

๋‚˜๋ ˆ์ด์…˜

It was a clean, synth-like sound and a pretty, beautiful voice.

๋‚˜๋ ˆ์ด์…˜

It was clear that someone was on the roof.

๋‚˜๋ ˆ์ด์…˜

Jimin cautiously got up and walked towards the sound of singing.

๋‚˜๋ ˆ์ด์…˜

Then...

???

Maybe someday these dreams will become reality~๐ŸŽถ

๋‚˜๋ ˆ์ด์…˜

It was a woman who seemed to be so focused on singing that she didn't even notice Jimin was there.

๋‚˜๋ ˆ์ด์…˜

Looking at the fancy clothes, accessories, and dyed hair...

๋‚˜๋ ˆ์ด์…˜

She seems to be one of the female idols

๋‚˜๋ ˆ์ด์…˜

The girl was singing with her eyes closed and earphones on...

???

Phew...what should I do...

๋‚˜๋ ˆ์ด์…˜

I stopped singing and let out a small sigh.

๋‚˜๋ ˆ์ด์…˜

Jimin looked at the female idol and started clapping loudly.

๋‚˜๋ ˆ์ด์…˜

The girl, startled by the sound, turns around...

๋‚˜๋ ˆ์ด์…˜

Jimin's eyes met mine as he looked at me.

???

Uh...uh...!! Uh...hello!!..Senior...senior!!!

๋‚˜๋ ˆ์ด์…˜

Yeodol got up in a hurry and bowed deeply to greet Jimin...

๋ฐ•์ง€๋ฏผ image

๋ฐ•์ง€๋ฏผ

Oh no!!! You don't have to be so nervous!!!!

๋‚˜๋ ˆ์ด์…˜

Jimin, slightly flustered, waved his hand and shouted.

๋‚˜๋ ˆ์ด์…˜

The girl nodded absentmindedly at Jimin's words.

๋ฐ•์ง€๋ฏผ image

๋ฐ•์ง€๋ฏผ

I enjoyed listening to the song earlier haha. You sing well.

๋‚˜๋ ˆ์ด์…˜

The female idol's face turned red when Jimin smiled and praised her...

???

Ah...you heard me...thank you!!

๋‚˜๋ ˆ์ด์…˜

I bowed again

๋‚˜๋ ˆ์ด์…˜

Jimin, who had been chuckling at the sight, opened his mouth.

๋ฐ•์ง€๋ฏผ image

๋ฐ•์ง€๋ฏผ

.....You were sighing while singing earlier. What happened?

๋‚˜๋ ˆ์ด์…˜

When Jimin asked cautiously, the girl whose pupils were dilating finally opened her mouth.

???

Ah....me....

๋ฐ•์ง€๋ฏผ image

๋ฐ•์ง€๋ฏผ

Um... Should we sit down and talk? Your feet look sore...

๋‚˜๋ ˆ์ด์…˜

Let's talk while looking at the high heels Jimin is wearing...

???

Ah...ah...yeah!!

๋‚˜๋ ˆ์ด์…˜

The girl who answered with a "Oh my" was carefully trying to sit down...

๋‚˜๋ ˆ์ด์…˜

Swish

???

??

๋‚˜๋ ˆ์ด์…˜

The outer garment was placed in front of the female idol.

๋‚˜๋ ˆ์ด์…˜

Let's look at the surprised idol Jimin....

๋ฐ•์ง€๋ฏผ image

๋ฐ•์ง€๋ฏผ

You're wearing a skirt, right? Haha

๋‚˜๋ ˆ์ด์…˜

Jimin said with a soft smile

???

Ah...thank you!!

???

The girl who blushed for a moment at Jimin nodded in greeting.

๋ฐ•์ง€๋ฏผ image

๋ฐ•์ง€๋ฏผ

Um....what's your name?

๋‚˜๋ ˆ์ด์…˜

As soon as Jimin sat down, Yeo-dol asked...

๋‚˜๋ ˆ์ด์…˜

Oh... Sorry for the late introduction..!! I am Ellin, the leader of Ableit under KJ Entertainment!

๋ฐ•์ง€๋ฏผ image

๋ฐ•์ง€๋ฏผ

Ohhh...kj....

๋‚˜๋ ˆ์ด์…˜

Jimin stroked his chin and muttered softly.

๋ฐ•์ง€๋ฏผ image

๋ฐ•์ง€๋ฏผ

Are you the leader?

๋‚˜๋ ˆ์ด์…˜

Ellin nods when Jimin asks again

์—˜๋ฆฐ image

์—˜๋ฆฐ

Yes... The boss said that it would be better for me, the eldest, to do it...

๋‚˜๋ ˆ์ด์…˜

Jimin nodded at Ellin's words.

๋ฐ•์ง€๋ฏผ image

๋ฐ•์ง€๋ฏผ

Oh right, why did you sigh earlier?

๋‚˜๋ ˆ์ด์…˜

Ellin, who had been startled by Jimin's words, opened her mouth.

์—˜๋ฆฐ image

์—˜๋ฆฐ

Ah....actually.....

๋‚˜๋ ˆ์ด์…˜

Elin, who was lowering her head and trailing off...

๋‚˜๋ ˆ์ด์…˜

Jimin was quietly waiting, looking at her like that.

์—˜๋ฆฐ image

์—˜๋ฆฐ

.....Actually, I have a little bit of stage fright

๋‚˜๋ ˆ์ด์…˜

Jimin looks at Ellin with a slightly surprised expression at her words.

๋ฐ•์ง€๋ฏผ image

๋ฐ•์ง€๋ฏผ

Stage...fright?

๋‚˜๋ ˆ์ด์…˜

Ellin nodded at Jimin's words and continued speaking.

์—˜๋ฆฐ image

์—˜๋ฆฐ

....I wasn't like that when I debuted, but lately...I've been feeling anxious.. My breathing has gotten faster...and because of that...I've been scared of the camera too...

๋‚˜๋ ˆ์ด์…˜

Ellin, who calmly talked about her own pain...

๋‚˜๋ ˆ์ด์…˜

He spoke with his eyes down, then smiled slightly and looked at Jimin.

์—˜๋ฆฐ image

์—˜๋ฆฐ

But...as a leader, I have to do well for the members...so that the members can trust and follow me...so I'm holding on tight...

๋ฐ•์ง€๋ฏผ image

๋ฐ•์ง€๋ฏผ

It must have been hard to endure that

๋‚˜๋ ˆ์ด์…˜

Jimin said quietly, staring at Ellin.

๋‚˜๋ ˆ์ด์…˜

Elin, who was hardened by him

๋‚˜๋ ˆ์ด์…˜

A little later...

์—˜๋ฆฐ image

์—˜๋ฆฐ

Heh... no... this... is... something like...

๋‚˜๋ ˆ์ด์…˜

Ellin's voice is getting more and more trembling

๋‚˜๋ ˆ์ด์…˜

Jimin noticed him and turned his back slightly, speaking softly.

๋ฐ•์ง€๋ฏผ image

๋ฐ•์ง€๋ฏผ

You don't have to put up with it. I didn't see anything here....Elin, please relax.

๋‚˜๋ ˆ์ด์…˜

As soon as Jimin finished speaking...

๋‚˜๋ ˆ์ด์…˜

thud thud

์—˜๋ฆฐ image

์—˜๋ฆฐ

Oh...sob...

๋‚˜๋ ˆ์ด์…˜

Tears began to fall from Ellen's eyes.

๋‚˜๋ ˆ์ด์…˜

It was the first time I heard such warm words.

๋‚˜๋ ˆ์ด์…˜

All these years, Ellin was the group's leader... and she endured and endured to take care of her younger siblings...

๋‚˜๋ ˆ์ด์…˜

Jimin's considerate and warm words...

๋‚˜๋ ˆ์ด์…˜

I felt like my anxious mind was calming down.

์—˜๋ฆฐ image

์—˜๋ฆฐ

Oh...thank you...

๋‚˜๋ ˆ์ด์…˜

As Ellin lowered her head in a sobbing voice, Jimin snickered and said

๋ฐ•์ง€๋ฏผ image

๋ฐ•์ง€๋ฏผ

What? It's thanks to Ellen's efforts. Don't hold back too much.

์—˜๋ฆฐ image

์—˜๋ฆฐ

Turn off....

๋‚˜๋ ˆ์ด์…˜

Ellin, who is about to cry more at Jimin's words...

๋ฐ•์ง€๋ฏผ image

๋ฐ•์ง€๋ฏผ

Ah...but don't cry too much...you have to perform!!

๋‚˜๋ ˆ์ด์…˜

Jimin smiled and stood up, extending his hand to Ellin.

๋ฐ•์ง€๋ฏผ image

๋ฐ•์ง€๋ฏผ

Okay, let's get started now. I'll hold you, so get up carefully!

๋‚˜๋ ˆ์ด์…˜

Ellin, who had been fidgeting while looking at Jimin's hand, grabbed Jimin's hand as if she had made up her mind.

๋‚˜๋ ˆ์ด์…˜

And the moment I was about to stand up...

๋‚˜๋ ˆ์ด์…˜

squeak

์—˜๋ฆฐ image

์—˜๋ฆฐ

Huh...huh??!!

๋ฐ•์ง€๋ฏผ image

๋ฐ•์ง€๋ฏผ

???

๋‚˜๋ ˆ์ด์…˜

Maybe it was because I was wearing heels that were too high...

๋‚˜๋ ˆ์ด์…˜

The moment I tried to get up, I lost my balance and...

๋‚˜๋ ˆ์ด์…˜

widely

๋‚˜๋ ˆ์ด์…˜

I fell down

์—˜๋ฆฐ image

์—˜๋ฆฐ

Ouch... Ouch...

๋‚˜๋ ˆ์ด์…˜

I felt a little pain, but it didn't seem like I was seriously hurt.

๋‚˜๋ ˆ์ด์…˜

The problem is....

์—˜๋ฆฐ image

์—˜๋ฆฐ

!!!!

๋ฐ•์ง€๋ฏผ image

๋ฐ•์ง€๋ฏผ

!!!

๋‚˜๋ ˆ์ด์…˜

Their faces were very close together.

๋‚˜๋ ˆ์ด์…˜

So close that I can hear your breathing...

๋‚˜๋ ˆ์ด์…˜

and....

๋‚˜๋ ˆ์ด์…˜

See you next time, winkโ˜†
