I'll be at the end of that alley
Chapter 55) Side Story Jimin (1)



๊น์์ง
My son!!

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



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

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



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

๋๋ ์ด์
The members nod their heads at Jimin's facts.


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



๊น๋จ์ค
Here we go again, guys, take cover.

๋๋ ์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.



๊น์์ง
...bad things...

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

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

๋๋ ์ด์
Jimin, who was quietly looking at Seokjin, thought


๋ฐ์ง๋ฏผ
'...hyung...you look happy'

๋๋ ์ด์
I thought it was all over

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

๋๋ ์ด์
but....



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

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

๋๋ ์ด์
So... I felt sorry for Seokjin

๋๋ ์ด์
You sent me to make me happy...

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


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


๊น์์ง
Huh? Where are you going?

๋๋ ์ด์
Seokjin asked Jimin instead of looking at the photo.


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

๋๋ ์ด์
Seokjin nodded at Jimin's words.


๊น์์ง
Okay, have a good trip!

๋๋ ์ด์
Namjoon shouted next.


๊น๋จ์ค
Be on time!

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


๋ฐ์ง๋ฏผ
Phew...

๋๋ ์ด์
Jimin walked down the hallway, stretching.

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

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

๋๋ ์ด์
But there's just one thing...


์ ์์
Huh? Jimin?

๋๋ ์ด์
Jimin raised his head and looked ahead...

๋๋ ์ด์
Siwol was approaching him with a bright smile.

๋๋ ์ด์
Then...

๋๋ ์ด์
Heart pounding

๋๋ ์ด์
My heart started beating fast

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



๋ฐ์ง๋ฏผ
Uh... Siwol... Hello...

๋๋ ์ด์
Shiwol also smiled and nodded at Jimin's greeting.


์ ์์
Where are you going?

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


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


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

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

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

๋๋ ์ด์
anyway...


๋ฐ์ง๋ฏผ
You must have come to see Seokjin hyung...

๋๋ ์ด์
Jimin left with a bitter smile.



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

๋๋ ์ด์
Leaving behind a single word filled with regret...

๋๋ ์ด์
Rooftop of the concert hall

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

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

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



๋ฐ์ง๋ฏผ
Forget it....Park Jimin....

๋๋ ์ด์
I lay on the rooftop and muttered quietly.

๋๋ ์ด์
At that moment.....


๋ฐ์ง๋ฏผ
?

๋๋ ์ด์
A song was heard from somewhere.

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

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

๋๋ ์ด์
It was clear that someone was on the roof.

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

๋๋ ์ด์
Then...

???
Maybe someday these dreams will become reality~๐ถ

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

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

๋๋ ์ด์
She seems to be one of the female idols

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

???
Phew...what should I do...

๋๋ ์ด์
I stopped singing and let out a small sigh.

๋๋ ์ด์
Jimin looked at the female idol and started clapping loudly.

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

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

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

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


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

๋๋ ์ด์
Jimin, slightly flustered, waved his hand and shouted.

๋๋ ์ด์
The girl nodded absentmindedly at Jimin's words.



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

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

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

๋๋ ์ด์
I bowed again

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


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

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

???
Ah....me....


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

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

???
Ah...ah...yeah!!

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

๋๋ ์ด์
Swish

???
??

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

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



๋ฐ์ง๋ฏผ
You're wearing a skirt, right? Haha

๋๋ ์ด์
Jimin said with a soft smile

???
Ah...thank you!!

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


๋ฐ์ง๋ฏผ
Um....what's your name?

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

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


๋ฐ์ง๋ฏผ
Ohhh...kj....

๋๋ ์ด์
Jimin stroked his chin and muttered softly.


๋ฐ์ง๋ฏผ
Are you the leader?

๋๋ ์ด์
Ellin nods when Jimin asks again


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

๋๋ ์ด์
Jimin nodded at Ellin's words.


๋ฐ์ง๋ฏผ
Oh right, why did you sigh earlier?

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


์๋ฆฐ
Ah....actually.....

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

๋๋ ์ด์
Jimin was quietly waiting, looking at her like that.


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

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


๋ฐ์ง๋ฏผ
Stage...fright?

๋๋ ์ด์
Ellin nodded at Jimin's words and continued speaking.


์๋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...

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

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


์๋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...



๋ฐ์ง๋ฏผ
It must have been hard to endure that

๋๋ ์ด์
Jimin said quietly, staring at Ellin.

๋๋ ์ด์
Elin, who was hardened by him

๋๋ ์ด์
A little later...


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

๋๋ ์ด์
Ellin's voice is getting more and more trembling

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


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

๋๋ ์ด์
As soon as Jimin finished speaking...

๋๋ ์ด์
thud thud


์๋ฆฐ
Oh...sob...

๋๋ ์ด์
Tears began to fall from Ellen's eyes.

๋๋ ์ด์
It was the first time I heard such warm words.

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

๋๋ ์ด์
Jimin's considerate and warm words...

๋๋ ์ด์
I felt like my anxious mind was calming down.


์๋ฆฐ
Oh...thank you...

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


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


์๋ฆฐ
Turn off....

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


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

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



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

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

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

๋๋ ์ด์
squeak


์๋ฆฐ
Huh...huh??!!


๋ฐ์ง๋ฏผ
???

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

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

๋๋ ์ด์
widely

๋๋ ์ด์
I fell down


์๋ฆฐ
Ouch... Ouch...

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

๋๋ ์ด์
The problem is....


์๋ฆฐ
!!!!


๋ฐ์ง๋ฏผ
!!!

๋๋ ์ด์
Their faces were very close together.

๋๋ ์ด์
So close that I can hear your breathing...

๋๋ ์ด์
and....

๋๋ ์ด์
See you next time, winkโ
