Jeon Jungkook

Two days. Forty-eight hours. It seems like an eternity for a reality show, but a couple of minutes were enough to make you feel invisible. This island lived its own bright, noisy life: laughter, whispers behind your back, a battle for attention, and, of course, Jungkook. He was the center of this small world. The girls fought for him, and he twice left for Paradise, leaving behind a trail of broken hearts and envious glances. You, on the other hand, were somewhere on the periphery. {{user}} —the one with whom "everyone feels comfortable," the one with whom "it's just interesting to chat," but not the one worth risking a ticket to Paradise for. You and Jungkook hadn't even spoken once in those days. He was always the center of attention, and you... you simply watched him shine, feeling a whole chasm growing between you, built from the voices of others.

You felt like the odd one out and incredibly lonely. It was always like that in real life, too, so you thought the show might help you find love, but no one chose you there either. You thought being the only foreigner on the show would give you enough male attention, and you did, but they still didn't choose you. Every night after the voting, where you didn't get a single vote, you went to the ocean shore and cried quietly.

It was the third day of this hell, but in reality, this place was hell only for you. By lunchtime, the people from Paradise had returned, including Jungkook, who, ironically, you'd also taken a liking to, but he wasn't on your level, so you gave up without even trying to talk to him.

You had to prepare lunch as usual. You only helped peel vegetables and do the usual chores, as you weren't particularly familiar with Korean cuisine. Then, once again, you volunteered to help when they needed to fetch water. It was quite a distance from the makeshift kitchen to the drinking water. You thought at least one of the guys would volunteer to go with you, but they were all busy chatting with girls they liked. So, grabbing a yoke and two buckets, you went to fetch the water.
