Jungkook pov

When Jungkook returned home and back to his idol life, his Hyungs were pleasantly surprised at his relaxed and quite happy demeanour.

He became more engaged with life as an idol. They needed the break, and their maknae looked great. The fresh air and the different environment greatly impacted the little Maknae and the group BTS.

Jungkook couldn't forget the bizarre encounter with the girl called Yoona in her spirit body. Such paranormal activity was unfathomable for the young maknae. His mind felt like it was playing tricks on him. The shock was great when he learned that the girl he fell for in a day was like an enigma.

How can any average person be the same after such a phenomenon? He was gobsmacked. He met a girl who was in a coma in spirit form.

As months passed, he wondered if he had dreamt or imagined it all. It was too surreal. He called his aunt during the months, enquiring discreetly about her friend's comatose daughter. She only told him that "Yoona" miraculously gained consciousness, but she was mute and in intensive therapy, and that was the end of his communication with his aunt.

His Aunt Hari regained her zest for life. She closed up shop and decided to explore the world. His mom told him that his aunt was currently in Peru. He was delighted that his aunt seemed to move on and become the adventurous woman she was before her husband died.

He was a little tired after their European tour, and in two days, they had to be ready to perform at the FACT Awards. They have been nominated for a few categories.

The ride up was relaxing. They sat in the massive lounge, laughing and teasing each other. The happiness in their eyes was evident. This was a truly incredible year for BTS. They and the global army gain momentum on their way to global domination.

Seokjin ordered plenty of takeout from their favourite restaurants, and the atmosphere was cheerful and relaxing. Yoongi was taking a well-deserved nap as the rest just sat around. Jungkook went to refresh himself in his suite.

In the TV lounge, Jimin and Jhope were bickering about the TV remote. Jhope wanted all of them to watch an action movie, while Jimin and Taehyung were whining to watch the year's new debut artists.

"Come on, Hobi... we can watch the movie tonight when Yoongi awakens." Jimin pours.

"Yeah, Hobi! We have been going to foreign countries for a long time. Let's catch up on our new debut artists. My friend, Bo Gum, said the new girl groups are hot besides our own 'Enhyphen'. " Taehyung added. Hobi just raised his eyebrows.

"So you two want to check out the new girl groups on YouTube?" He teases them and throws the remote to Jimin, who catches it with narrowed eyes. He loved to banter with the maknaes.

Seokjin sighed, "Let them watch it, Hobi. I also want to see the new artists. "

Jhope smirks, "O-ok."

Jungkook strolled into the living room just then, looking refreshed and clothed in his favourite loungewear.

"What are we watching?" He furrowed his brows as his older makes-line were all giddy in front of the big screen TV.

Namjoon lifted his eyes, "New debut artists, especially the girl groups." Jimin looks very excited.

Jungkook grins, "I heard the rookies are very spectacular, and it will be a tough competition to win New Artist of the Year." I hope Enhyphen gets a nod. "

Due to the tight tour schedules, he wasn't interested in watching new uprising artists. He just wanted to enjoy life and become a better person.

Jungkook got him some takeout from the food on the table-his favourite chicken pops and banana milk, making himself comfortable next to Jin-Hyung, who was furiously texting his "secret girlfriend." Their company was very flexible about dating, but they had to be discreet and careful not to be caught in a dating scandal.

His and Blackpink's Rose rumoured dating came into the ears of Dispatch, and they were one of the couples implicated in Dispatch's yearly "couple revelation". Unfortunately for the tabloid, the couple split up almost a year ago but remained friendly. So their agencies didn't confirm the rumors because they were secret.

When those rumours were confirmed, a toxic fandom war erupted on social media.

Jungkook smirks as Tae Hyung and Jimin crack up trying to imitate the dance moves of Aespa, SM Entertainment's new debut group.

Jungkook smirked and jumped up, joining the two 'older' from the maknaes in laughter.

The amusing maknaes had Jhope and the other hyungs in stitches.

They were all giggling on the sofas after the performance.

"OK, let's watch debuts on the comeback shows," Jhope smiled.

TaeHyung laughed, "That was a lot of fun! Scroll down, Jimin. Oh! I've never heard anything about this group. Let's take a look. They are from a small agency similar to ours and have only debuted one girl group. Wow, just like Big Hit."

"Ok...I think I had heard about them."Jimin waggles his eyes suggestively." StayC is their name. They set records with their debut music video. They received nearly 2 million views, according to reports on YouTube."

Taehyung smirked," Quite impressive...and they were commended for their innovative performances, stunning visuals, and steady vocals. Two former child actresses are part of this debut group---they debuted last year. "He read the information on Google as Jimin browsed YouTube to choose the best comeback shows.

Jungkook sat back and furrowed his frowns, baffled, "I haven't heard of this group before. "

He doesn't really follow girl groups, okay, maybe Blackpink, because of his ex-girlfriend, Rose. She made him so proud even though they were no longer together. She released a solo that earned her two smashing records.

The atmosphere was very relaxed and light-hearted. The maknaes are having a good time so far, and Namjoon is amused by Jimin and TaeHyung's desire to watch the video first before attempting the complicated dance moves. Jhope is going to join them.

Jungkook smirks as the YouTube video's opening scene commences. Wow, the girls are stunning.

The Bangtan boys' eyes widen. Jhope's jaw drops. "They are so gorgeous—all of them. Jeez, this agency has a winning product there."

"Oh wow... wow! Listen to the deep voice of the short-haired girl. Goodness!... they are still so young, though. " Jimin's eyes glow with delight. He was practically in front of the big screen.
When each girl did their riveting solos, Jungkook looked at one of the most beautiful girls before him. Her hair is so long and glossy. But when they showed her full frontal, it felt as if the wind was punched out of his stomach. His eyes widened, and his jaw dropped, shocked to the core. It felt as if his face had lost all its blood. He was so pale as a ghost.

Nobody noticed his changed demeanour.

His befuddled mind couldn't comprehend what he was witnessing. He was frozen in his seat.

The girl looks like "his" beach girl. Yoona. He talked to his aunt when she was somewhere between her travels in Brazil, and she told him she hadn't heard from her friends for months, but their daughter was in intensive therapy. She was having speech problems.

So, why does she look so familiar?

She was gorgeous. Her replica looks like his 'beach girl'. Her identical face was uncanny. How can two people look so similar and be unrelated?

But this girl is an idol—a very famous one at that. Yoona was in a coma for a year and was in therapy for the rest of the year. So, how does that make sense? If she were a trainee, the whole media would've talked about her. Heck, they would've known about her. She didn't even recognise him. Most idols trained for over three years, but there are exceptions like Jimin, who trained for a few months, and Joonie, who trained for years.

He'll never forget those big expressive eyes and those luscious lips. That was what captured his attention. His body shivered as he recalled their steamy make-out session on the beach. He fell for the girl that day, and he was devastated when "she" left.

Her presence, laughter, and soft embrace calmed him down. Gosh, she became "it" for him that day. Is it possible to fall in love in one day? Their whole meeting was so surreal that he even thought that maybe he had imagined it all. Maybe he fell asleep on the rocks and dreamt about meeting her.

Nothing could prepare him for the inevitable. She was comatose. How could he meet her "out of body" spirit? He heard about the phenomenon on YouTube, mainly from some religious groups, who claimed your body is just a house... hosting the ' real 'you.

So he met the beach girl, Yoona, and liked what he saw and heard. She is so filled with depth that she is a mature soul, even if she looks frail and very pale. She was still beautiful. Her full, soft, and chapped lips that he so feverishly kissed. It felt like heaven. Even Rose, whom he liked so much, could stir his body with one touch.

When the video froze on her face, Jungkook's eyes were locked.

TaeHyung exhaled deeply, "Wow... this girl is 'hot' and the one with the anime eyes. What is her name, Jimin? "

Tae Hyung looked mesmerised. He looked at a stunned Jungkook, who sat there speechless. His eyes were fixed on the frozen image of the girl who looked like ' beach girl's doppelganger.

He turned with unseen eyes to a very excited Tae Hyung.

"This one is JaYoon, so stunning, and the one with the pretty eyes is Isa...J- the deep voice rapper is cute,"  Jimin informs them, with sparkling eyes.

"Ja Yoon," he softly murmured her name in awe.
