“Is Hoseok still not talking to you guys?” Nari asked as soon as she reached their usual lunch table.
The silence that greeted her answered her question, and she sat down with a sigh. “He’s ignoring me, too.”
“I texted him yesterday, but he didn’t answer,” Seokjin said with a frown.
“I just wish we knew why he’s acting like this all of a sudden. It’s already been two weeks.” Nari sighed again and picked at her food, her appetite gone.
Jimin looked at her and placed one of his sausages on her rice. “Eat. Didn’t you say you skipped breakfast this morning?”
Nari took a spoonful of rice with the sausage on top and stuffed it into , if just to thank him for the gesture. He smiled a little at her and went back to stirring his soup, looking at the swirling vegetables with a heavy heart.
Noticing the solemnness of their usual bright table, Seokjin reached over and ruffled both of their hairs in encouragement. “It’s alright, guys. I’ll try talking to him sometime this week. I’m sure it’s nothing we can’t work out,” he said with a smile.
“I hope so,” sighed Nari as she looked up at the older boy.
Jimin kept his eyes on his plate, feeling somehow responsible for not preventing this from happening. Had Hoseok been sending hostile signs this whole time, and he just didn’t notice until now? Conflicted, he sighed and continued stirring his soup.

At the ding of her phone, Nari paused in stocking books in the shelves and reached into her employee jacket pocket.
From: Nari

Slipping her phone back into her pocket, Nari pushed the cart back to the storage room and took her place once again at the cashier desk near the entrance. She looked around the empty bookstore, and her eyes landed on the comic section. A certain person came up in her head, and she frowned.
Come to think of it, she hadn’t seen that person in quite some time. Taking out her phone, she looked for his name in her contacts and pondered over calling him. But after realizing the time, she settled with a text.
From: Nari
Hey, I haven’t seen you in a long time
She stared at the words for a second, then erased them.
Where are you? I haven’t seen you in
That was erased before she could finish.
Are things okay with your mom and her bf now?
Nari contemplated on sending that or not. However, knowing it was a sensitive subject so she decided not to disturb that area.
Hey, how’ve you been?
She settled with that and sent it. Sitting down on her stool, she stretched her back and continued texting Jungkook as she waited for a reply.
From: Nari

Sent at 1:05 am
Though she wasn’t sure what he was getting at, the person from before popped up in her head. However, she immediately shook all thoughts of them out and typed back a reply.
From: Nari
What are you talking about? Of course I want to hear about all of them.

Nari huffed at his sarcastic tone. Was he implying something that she wasn’t catching on to?
