"I have to wash..."
Morning passed and it became morning. Jungkook's eyes opened on their own and he got out of bed and turned to the full-length mirror next to him. He was so puffy because he hadn't closed his eyes for a day.The thought made Jeongguk frown, so he boldly took off his top right there and went into the shower. A few seconds later, he heard the sound of water. Fortunately, there was a shower in Jeongguk's room, so it was convenient to go back and forth.
Meanwhile, Yeoju was still sound asleep. The sunlight was shining brightly, making it easy to wake up, but she didn't move even slightly. Perhaps she was just used to this environment. No one but Yeoju could tell.
After washing up, Jungkook came out to the living room, put his towel in the laundry basket, and naturally went into the kitchen. To cook rice, Jungkook took rice out of the rice bin, washed it in cold water, and put it in the rice cooker. He also thought about what to make for a side dish. Jungkook, who didn't know what kind of food Yeoju liked, thought about it for a long time and decided to wait until the rice was done and then make fried rice.
Jungkook sat quietly in his chair, gazing out the window. Then, he remembered last night's events. Jungkook, who had always been self-centered, was different yesterday. He had lent her his windbreaker and even offered his shoulder. He felt frustrated, not knowing why he had done so. After a brief moment of thought, Jungkook decided it was simply a favor. Of course, he wondered why such a favor, which seemed to have never been shown to him in his life, had gone to Yeoju, but he didn't want to worry about it, trying to quickly clear his head.
When the rice cooker beeped to announce that the rice was ready, the heroine came out of the room at just the right moment. Her eyes were a little swollen, as if she had slept face down. She found Jeongguk in the kitchen and waved, but Jeongguk just nodded.
"You woke up early, oppa?"
"You didn't wake up late, did you?"
"yes?"
When Yeo-ju belatedly checked her watch, it was just past 11 AM. Startled, she looked at Jeong-guk with rabbit eyes, but Jeong-guk didn't respond and just shrugged his shoulders. Yeo-ju awkwardly laughed and scratched her head. Just then, she heard the sound of the food being ready coming from the kitchen.
"Honey, did you cook?"
"Hey, do you want some fried rice?"
"Wow, I really like that fried rice!!"
"Thank goodness. Sit down and I'll do it right away."
"Thank you~"
As Jeongguk got up, Yeoju sat down in the seat where Jeongguk had been sitting.
After taking out various vegetables from the refrigerator, he skillfully made fried rice. The female protagonist looked at Jungkook at the table and exclaimed, "Wow, that's cool!" While the female protagonist was admiring Jungkook's cooking(?), her phone vibrated. When she checked the notification, it was a call from Taehyung. She didn't want to see it, but she knew he would bombard her with notifications again if she didn't, so she checked it anyway.

"What on earth are we supposed to do.."
"what?"
"Oh, no!"
Jungkook sat down in front of Yeoju, who didn't know when he'd arrived. Looking down, he saw the fried rice he had made for Yeoju. Yeoju, flustered, put down her phone and picked up a spoon to eat the fried rice. Jungkook's expression suddenly hardened. For a moment, he suspected that the reason Yeoju was flustered was because she realized what kind of person he was. As expected, he couldn't put down his worries and doubts even for a moment.
"What's wrong, oppa?"
"Uh, uh, what did you say?"
"No, I just thought maybe I did something wrong or something bad happened because your expression was so stiff."
The female lead looked at Jeongguk with a worried expression. Jeongguk hesitated for a moment, then told her it was nothing and told her to eat quickly. The female lead nodded, held her spoon correctly, and started eating again. Jeongguk's expression also quickly relaxed.
"...What's wrong, oppa?"
"what."
"a little..!!!"
"Why are you yelling.."
"Who's eating and staring at me like that!!"
"What did I look at?"
The female protagonist touched her forehead.
"No, I'll just not say anything."
"Yeah, hurry up and eat."
"..yes."
"Sir, it seems like Jeongguk has completely thrown away his cell phone."
"Haa... CCTV."
"It's the same for you too."
In the CEO's office, filled with only heavy air, Seokjin sat across from the CEO and began talking about Jeongguk. Seokjin bit his lower lip hard between his teeth. The CEO covered his face with his hand and sighed repeatedly. Seokjin had nothing more to say to the CEO, so he cautiously tried to get up.
But the representative did not leave him alone.
"Kim Seokjin, did you help that bastard Jeon Jungkook run away?"
"No. No one, including our members and our manager, knew."
"Then why on earth did that kid do that!"
The CEO clenched his fist and slammed it on the desk, making a loud noise that hurt Seokjin's ears. The CEO just kept screaming and tearing at his hair, and Seokjin tried to cover his ears, but he gritted his teeth and tried to endure it, not knowing what the angry CEO would do to him. However, Seokjin couldn't stand it any longer and left the CEO's office, leaving the CEO behind who wasn't calming down. Seokjin shook his head as he left the office.
Seokjin walked towards the elevator. The only sound from the CEO's office was still the CEO's shouts. He quickly got on the elevator, pressed the button for the first floor, and the doors closed. Seokjin took his phone out of his pocket and contacted someone. His face was still frozen like stone, and his hands moved quickly as he touched the phone.
The door opened as the elevator arrived. Seokjin sighed, got out of the elevator, and walked towards the practice room. As he walked, his mind was so complicated that his head hurt. When he arrived at the practice room, he entered the empty, cold air filled the room. It was a space where he and the members had laughed, cried, and sometimes fought together, but everything that had disappeared in an instant made him sad. He took his car keys and hat from the drawer and immediately left the empty practice room again.
Standing in front of the elevator again, Seokjin held back the tears that were about to come out and got on the elevator. He pressed the button for the second basement floor where his car was and the doors closed automatically. Before long, the elevator arrived and the doors opened. Seokjin walked out weakly and headed to his car. He opened the car door, sat in the driver's seat, and immediately started the car. Perhaps because he had been to many places, he set off without even using the navigation system.
'Where the hell are you, Jungkook...'
"....."
Seokjin remained silent. He stood by the car, looking at his phone as if waiting for someone. But there was nothing to see on his phone, so he stared blankly straight ahead. Then, suddenly, a large tree and a wooden pavilion caught his eye. Feeling an inexplicable pull, Seokjin's steps involuntarily turned toward it.
There were two umbrellas standing in the wooden pavilion. Seokjin tilted his head. He wondered why there were two umbrellas when no one seemed to be buying them. Seokjin left his nice car behind and sat down in the old wooden pavilion. Strangely, there wasn't a single piece of trash in this old pavilion.
How long had it been? Seokjin turned his head at the sound of someone calling him from far away. He was approaching him, waving his long arms upwards while looking at him. Seokjin frowned and shook his head as if annoyed by his incomprehensible behavior. The man who had called Seokjin smiled brightly and approached him regardless of whether Seokjin said anything.
"Hey Kim Seokjin, how long has it been?"
"Hyung, stick with it."
"It's stiff... So what's going on here?"
"..Jungkook is gone."
flinch -The man talking to Seokjin trembled slightly. Seokjin snorted as if he had expected that. Seokjin stared at the man with such intensity that his eyes seemed to shoot lasers. The man stammered and asked Seokjin if he really did that. Seokjin was so angry at his actions that he almost grabbed him by the collar, but he held back his anger by clenching his fists.
“I think you might know where Jungkook is.”
"..Why are you asking me?"
"I remember you and Jungkook being the closest, didn't I?"
"It's been a long time since I lost contact with Jeon Jungkook. Don't ask me anymore.If you bring up Jeon Jungkook in front of me one more time, I'm going to cut your balls off."
"There's nothing I can't say to you, hyung..!"
"You don't know how many things you've said to me that you shouldn't have said to me, do you?"
"..Hey Kim Taehyung!"
"Shut up, hyung. I thought you'd change your personality a little after debuting, but you're no different than before. I don't want to talk to hyung ever again, so get out of my sight right now."

Episode
The content of the chat between Taehyung and Seokjin
I'm sorry that everyone has waited so long. Since the author finished his exams on Friday, I think there's a chance that he'll be uploading more frequently in the future!
I know you might have a headache from all the sudden developments, but I put in a background similar to Seokjin's and episode 1's at the end, and I put in a complicated relationship between Seokjin, Taehyung, and Jungkook at the end, but I wonder if anyone understood their relationship with this content...? Hehe, my writing skills just couldn't express it well.. (I'm guilty of being a bad writer.)
*Taehyung and Seokjin's relationship is family.*
I hope you all had a great last weekend and thank you so much for reading my lacking writing today ❤️
