You've been staring at your room's ceiling for at least 20 minutes already. Laying on your bed, you turned your head to see the clock on your nightstand. 17:40. You haven't eaten anything since last night. You didn't feel hungry, you felt empty. 

Your phone buzzed on your left. You pressed the home button and there were numerous texts and missed calls. Mostly from Taehyung. Some from Jungkook and Jimin. None from Minji. 

It's been 3 days since your absence from classes. You lied to your family and told them you're having a bad stomach. You brought your meals to your room and secretly gave them to the maids at night. You had zero appetite and apparently almost zero energy too now.

Your phone buzzed again. This time a call. From Taehyung. You ignored it. Then came a text. From Taehyung. You almost dismissed it until this one line caught your eye. You decided to open the text. 

From: TaeTae
Yeon-ah, my mom got into hospital again. Please answer my call. 

You were about to reply until a call got in again. Taehyung. You answered. 

(T) Hello? Hello?! Soyeon-ah you finally answered! Where have you been?! Are you sick? Why haven't you-
(S) You said your mom got into hospital. 
(T) Ah, yeah, uh. You.. You wanna visit her? Together? 
(S) Ok, date, place and time. 
(T) Uhh.. Friday in front of the bookstore near Han river? 4:30?
(S) Ok, see you. 
(T) Soyeon-ah why yo-

You pressed the red circle on your screen and ended the call. You groaned and immediately regretted your decision. You weren't ready to face Taehyung. Not after what had happened. But his mother was really nice to you and it's impolite to not give her a visit. You battled again in your head until you decided that you would go.
