Jungha and I are on the couch with her head leaning on my shoulders. I can't bring myself to focus on the horror movie that's been playing on the flat screen for Eunha is clouding my mind. Her face when she saw me is not how I imaged it. I thought she would be happy and would come running to me, instead she had the same look when I left her.

The way Mingyu had his arm around Eunha's waist as they go upstairs is all too familiar. I used to hold her like that, I used to protect her but now, all I can do is watch from the sidelines. I'm angry at myself for not doing anything about it but I know I lost my right to be jealous a long time ago.


The movie ended and everyone was already asleep on the couch. I carefully remove Jungha's head on my shoulders and lie her down on the couch. I started cleaning up all the mess we made in the living room. I took all the empty chicken boxes and throw them on the trash bin inside the kitchen.

When I came back to the living room to take the dirty dishes, Yerin was already holding them in her hands. She looked at me and sighed. I followed her back to the kitchen to have a talk with her.


"Why are you here?" She carefully placed the dirty dishes on the sink.

"How is she?" I heave a sigh.

"You should be asking her that but I doubt she'll talk to you." She looked at me in disgust.


It took me a moment to recover from what she said. She's probably right. Eunha won't be talking to me after all the things I've put her through.


I went back to the living room only to see Jimin with a blanket on his hands, everybody else was gone. They must have gone to their own room to sleep.


"You should spend the night here." He threw the blanket to me.

"Hyung, I'm a man. I can handle myself at night." I argued.

"I know. But it's past midnight, there's no bus anymore at this hour." He pointed at the grandfather's clock at the bottom of the stairs.

"Thanks." I utter. He went to his room and I lie down on the black couch and fell asleep.

I woke up feeling hungry. I looked at my phone and I had seven missed calls and thirteen messages from both of my parents. I'm staring at screen thinking if I should tell my mom that I met Jungkook but ended up sending them a short reply telling that we arrived in Jeju safely.


I went downstairs, the sun is not even out yet. It was dark down here and I don't know my way around so I had a hard time looking for the kitchen. I carefully opened the fridge to see if there's food that I can eat. All I found are foods that I still have to cook.

I'm too lazy to cook my food so I closed the fridge and went to look for canned goods in the cupboard. I found four cans of spam on top of each other. I tiptoed to reach the it and to no avail, I still couldn't. I started jumping so I can reach it, after a couple of hop I finally got it.

I felt proud for getting it without the help of a chair but before I could even close the cupboard, the other cans fell on my face and into the floor making loud noises. I had my hand on my forehead where the cans hit me as I bit my lower lip waiting for someone to enter the kitchen and mistaken me for a thief.

I let out a sigh when no one entered. I kneeled and took the canned goods that are now scattered on the floor. Then my eyes squinted because someone turned the lights on.


"It's just me. I'm sorry for waking you up." I said as I took all the cans on the floor.


I had the two cans on my left arm, the other on my right. I started jumping again just to put back the spam that I won't be eating.


"What are you doing?" I stopped because of the voice that I heard making me lost my grip on the can that was in my right hand and it fell on my face again.

"Ouch!" I hissed.

"Are you okay? Let me see." Jungkook ran towards me. His thumb softly touching where the canned good hit me. His cold hand send shivers down to my spine.

"You should be more careful." I felt his breath against face.

"I'm fine." I slipped away from him and started to put all the cans in the cupboard again. But before I could even extend my hands, he took all the cans from me and placed them back on the cupboard for me.

"Thanks. I should get back to sleep now." I excused myself but he caught my wrist making me stop.

"Stay. I'll cook for you."


When I didn't say anything, he let go of me and started searching for ingredients on the fridge. I stood there frozen, watching him prepare everything. Just by looking all the ingredients he gathered, I know what he'll be cooking for me.


"You can sit you know." He said while chopping the garlic.

"I- I don't know wh- where the dinning are is." I shyly said and he let out a chuckle.

"There's a bar stool beside me." He looked at me showing his bunny smile that I've missed so much.


I sat one seat away from him. This isn't the first time he's going to cook for me, he used to cook kimchi fried rice for me every weekend when mom isn't around.

I watch every move he makes. The way his brown hair falls just above his ears. The way his eyebrows furrowed when he's concentrating on what he's doing. Everything is still the same. He's still the same Jungkook that I grew to love and I miss him so much.


"Here." He placed the whole pan in front of me. We used to eat kimchi fried rice on the pan itself where he cooked it to lessen the dishes. He handed me the spoon on his hands and I started eating.

"I missed this!" I said after the first bite.

"I missed you." He replied.
