"Yeah, he's actually coming back this weekend." Emily elucidated, joining Jane in her faux act of joy. "Well, that explains the amount of food you've got in your trolley." She joked, labouring a smile on her lips as she laughed at herself.

Even when you're acting, the pleasure of faux happiness can't exist forever.

The aphotic claws tearing into the pure material that pieced together their fiction.

"Oh--Jungkook wanted me to tell you that he can't make it to the funeral." She told as she pulled the dialogue back into its lost and unpleasant topic. "Of course he can't." She scoffed through a venomous smile.

Emily threw her a lost look in response. "I didn't even want him to come to be perfectly honest. I never liked that boy."

"Why? What exactly do you mean? I-if you don't mind me asking?" She softly questioned, watching Jane's hands return to the grip of the cart, clearly preparing to flee.

"All I'm going to say is that... you should stay away from him. He wasn't good for Sofia."

"And he isn't good for anyone... especially you." She established.

Yoongi
Hey :) Are you free?


Emily
Umm not really sorry :( I have to get all the preparations completed for when Nathaniel comes back


Yoongi
Preparations? Since when are you putting a big show on for your brother?


Emily
Since he started to pay the bills to the house amongst a whole bunch of other things. I just want to be a good little sister for once in my life :)


Yoongi
You should let me help :( you know I'm a great party planner


Emily
Are you? How can you be a good party planner when you hate parties??


Yoongi
Party planning and partying are two separate things. I'm guessing you have Jungkook, Jimin and Hoseok to help you with it though...


Emily
What are you talking about?


Yoongi
Oh come on Em. I'm not blind. You're spending so much more time with them then you are with me and even Bella. What exactly are you doing with them? Are you having weird orgies or something?


Emily
OH MY GOD YOONGI STOP NO


Yoongi
Then what are you doing??? You've never been friends with them before


Emily
Okay if I tell you, you promise you won't tell anyone?


Yoongi
Yes of course *pinky promise*


Emily
Okay well Jimin has a crush on Bella and the four of us are planning this grand gesture for him to ask her out :) Happy?


Yoongi
Wtf?? Why didn't you tell me? And why aren't I involved????


Emily
Why do you think? :|


Yoongi
I've moved on I swear. How many times do I need to tell you???


Emily
Until you get yourself a girlfriend ;)


Yoongi
Uh no thank you. There's only one woman in my life and that's Yoonji


Emily
Good to know you're in love with yourself :)

With a gentle whoosh, the message was sent. Emily's arms slowly filling with the bags of groceries as she advanced up the aching wooden steps, unlocking the door only to be met with the sounds of cackles and laboured breaths.

Pace accelerating as she followed the dancing trail of chuckling, only to be met with the scene of Jimin rolling on the floor. Eyes illustrated into black strokes as Hoseok barely kept himself situated on the sofa, holding his abdomen for support, joining in on the contagious symphony of laughter.

"What are you doing in my house?" probed Emily, heart hindering to its previous rhythm. "You better not be here just because you want meat." She huffed as she set the almost transparent plastic bags on the floor, soon collapsing in the soft cotton embrace of the sofa.

"No... I guess we're just... bored." Jimin hesitated, the solemn trails of tearful merriment rolling down his cheeks.

A short trill of her phone rumbled in her pocket, soon bringing the phone to her face as she saw a notification from Bella.

Swiping the small silver box, she was met with a blurry thumbnail of a video. The unknown portrait spilling with chromatic light, Emily guessing it was at a party as the video slowly started to load.

As the image became animated with sound and movement, her phone drowning itself in the crackling music from the night of the event that was unfolding right in front of her. Just as she was slowly losing her grip on her patience, the figures of Sofia and Jungkook were quickly illustrated. The girl immediately recognising the resentment reflecting in each other's eyes as they glared at each other. Teeth bared as they clearly lost to their primitive sides, the argument muffled by the intoxicated bodies and pounding music.

Quickly pulling herself off from the video, she saw what context had been stitched to the video.

Bella
This video is from the night before Sofia died. I was asking around the swim team and the people who were there said that they got into a really heated argument over something and that Sofia left without sorting it out

The phone slipped from her hands, fainting into her lap.

What happened between them?

What had burned their admiration into nothing but futile ash?

What the hell happened to lead Sofia to the guillotine?
