"Karen?"
"Yeah?" I asked.
"I was wondering...Would you like to come to practice with me?" He asked.
"Today?" I asked.
"No, well, you can if you want but I was talking about tomorrow. I can come get you in the morning and you can watch us. Then we can hang out" he smiled.
"I'd love to but I already promised Rebecca that I'd hang out with her over the weekend. Sorry" I said.
"Today?" He asked.
"It's already 12:15 though, I still have to clean and make dinner" I said.
He pouted. "Okay."
"Umm, what time is practice over?" I asked.
"5" he said.
1-5?! Damn that's a long time.
I sighed. "I promise we can hang out after the weekend kay?"
He smiled. "Just as long as I get to see you" he looked at me.
I smiled back. "Okay...."

Once I was alone again, the emptiness came back. I felt sad and lonely. I took the groceries out and put them in place. Hmm, now the question is what should I cook? Maybe I should call Jin and see if he has any ideas. He's always been really creative in the kitchen. I sighed. Man, I miss them. All of them. I picked up the phone and dialed.
-Ring Ring Ring Ring-
Jin: Karen?
"Hey Jin" I felt a knot forming in my throat.
Jin: How are you? Are you alright? Are you safe? Are you on the plane?
"Jin. I didn't go home, I'm with Rebecca. I'm not leaving.....yet." I said.
Jin: Why didn't you call us yesterday? We were all so worried.
"All of you?" I asked.
Jin: Well....
"Anyway, how's everyone?" I changed the subject.
Jin: Well, we miss you. Jungkook had a pretty tough morning, he lashed out at Jimin.
"Is he there with you?" I asked.
"Yeah, hold on" Jin said. "Jungkook...it's for you"
Jungkook: Hello?
"Hey cutie" I said.
JK: Noona! I miss you so much! Did you really leave?
"Nah, I'm still here for the time being." I said.
JK: You're not going to leave though are you?
"....well...yes I am. I'm staying for two more weeks then I'll be going back home" I said.
JK: But I want you to stay, at until Christmas.
"But that's still a month and 25 days away." I said.
JK: please?
I sighed. "I can't..."
JK: You're really hurt aren't you Noona?
".................."
JK: I'm sorry.
"Don't be, it's okay. I really miss you." I said.
