Chapter 9: Dreams are forever

"That is good to hear, sweetie. I am glad you got all that acting nonsense put of your head," her mother said in a sweet voice.

Yuna closed her eyes for a few seconds, she felt her dreams slipping from her fingers. Her parents crushed it since she had come home from high school one day and said she would be joining the drama club.

A huge fight had broken out and she remembered that she had slept in Jungkook's room that night while he had comforted her.

'You will be the actress you want to be,' he had said softly as he had kissed her hair.

"Yes, I will see you this weekend. Tell father I send all my love," Yuna replied and opened her eyes.

She wanted this call to end. "Sweet dreams, honey."

Her mother ended the call, Yuna felt that her energy had left her body completely. She dreaded the weekend, she placed her phone on the table and went into the kitchen. A sigh escaped her lips, she would tell Jungkook tomorrow about their parent's visit.

She put the kettle on while taking a cup out of the cabinet, and she placed a tea bag inside. She was battling the tears that wanted to fall, she felt like a little girl back in her parents home.

"I just have to push through with the career I have," She muttered out loud.

The kettle made a noise and then switched off, Yuna stared at it blankly. Did it just break?

She tried to switch it on again but it did not go back on, she bit her lip out of frustration. Should she go to the neighbour?

She shook her head and decided that she would go to bed without her tea then, she had to get up early anyway.

She walked out of the kitchen and was about to enter her bedroom when her phone vibrated on the table. She paused and turned around, the only other person that would contact her was Jungkook and they had already spoken.

Namjoon had watched as Jin sped away from the restaurant. He was not going to leave the conversation as it was.

He had promised that he would not meddle but that was when Jin won the bet that they had made for this new movie of him.

What Jin did not know was the fact that Namjoon was in contact with Tae, Suga and Hoseok. He had never told him because he was afraid to lose Jin's friendship but he had his reasons.

When he was sure that Jin was not going to turn back suddenly he turned on his heels and went back into the restaurant.

He saw that the manager was busy cleaning up the mess and the cook was leaning against the wall of the kitchen.

"Jungkook, you should not push her," Nimue said softly.

"I have to push her or she would never realise that she is not happy," Jungkook replied.

Namjoon took a small step forward, he did not want to intrude but this conversation was interesting.

"She needs to realise that on her own," Nimue grumbled.

"She knows. It is just she feels incompetent when it comes to our parents and I want to help her to stand up for herself. That is why I want her to go to that competition," Jungkook said and he looked up, he saw Namjoon standing at the door and he froze.

"I am sorry. I did not mean to intrude," Namjoon said and smiled.

"Not at all," Jungkook said and placed the cloth on the table, "What can I get you?"

Namjoon licked his lips, Jin was going to kill him but he had a gut feeling that this was the right decision.

"I wanted to ask if I can get the waitress's telephone number?" Namjoon asked in a hopeful tone.

Nimue stood back from the wall and Jungkook blinked at Namjoon, "Can I ask why?"

Namjoon took in a deep breath before opening his mouth, "I want her to go to this competition at my friend's company."

Namjoon saw the confusion spread over... What was his name again? "Jungkook, I know this is sudden but I believe that she would be able to save his company."

Jungkook folded his arms, "What is the company?"

Namjoon felt a pang of hope, if he was willing to listen then everything is not lost on them.

"It is the biggest filming company in Seoul," Namjoon said proudly, "And I think that she would be perfect for the role."

Jungkook could not help as a grin spread across his face. What were the chances that the friend of Seokjin had seen her potential and wanted her to go to that interview competition?

'See Yuna... Dreams are forever,' Jungkook thought before answering Namjoon, "Then you and I should become allies."

"An alliance?" Namjoon asked in surprise, "What on earth for?"

As Jungkook and Namjoon were talking Nimue slipped into the back office. He closed the door silently behind him and walked to the safe which was behind a painting in the wall.

"You see," Jungkook started, "The waitress is my sister and she still has this dream to become an actress."

"Then why had she never-"

"Our parents crushed her dream and made her choose the career as a teacher," Jungkook interrupted.

Namjoon blinked, that was a bit harsh but he understood that very well. Parents usually wanted the best for their children but they should listen and support their dreams no matter what.

"What do you want to do?" Namjoon asked.

"After what happened here, Yuna said she would not be going to that interview and usually when she is that determined... There is no way on persuading her," Jungkook said and cocked his head to the right.

"So she would have gone?" Namjoon asked and placed his finger on his chin.

"Yes, but the little incident changed her mind and what I have heard from Nimue... Seokjin was a bit of a jerk."

Namjoon could not argue with that. Jin had been a jerk to the girl but she had handled herself very well.

"He is dealing with something personal and his heart is broken. So I do apologise on his behalf," Namjoon bowed, "Please accept my apology."

"There is no need for that," Jungkook said and waved his arms a little, "I just need you to help me to get my sister to that interview."

Namjoon looked up, "So throw her in without telling her?"

"Exactly," Jungkook grinned, "The interviews are for the whole week, yes?"

Namjoon nodded, "They are... So?"

"Because you have seen her potential why not make her the last interview for the week? I will speak to her and convince her but if that does not work... I will carry her in the car and take her myself," Jungkook said proudly.

"You are one good brother. Then that is a deal, should we exchange numbers?"

"Sure," Jungkook replied and took out his phone, he handed it to Namjoon.

Namjoon entered his digits, "Let us help both of them to save their dreams."

Jungkook nodded as Namjoon handed him his phone, "They should realise that dreams are forever."

"You are right," Namjoon held out his hand, "To a beautiful friendship."

Jungkook gripped his hand, "A beautiful friendship indeed."

They shook on it, Namjoon turned around and gave a small wave. He left the restaurant, Jungkook was grinning like a cat.

'I will always help you Yuna, you will see,' He thought and turned around, Nimue was still standing against the corner with a weird look on his face.

"What?" Jungkook asked.

"You should not meddle," Nimue replied and went back into the kitchen. His hand went to his apron; money.
