Jongseong woke up and looked at the time that says it's 3 AM

He stood up and headed to his girlfriend's dorm to bring the group a breakfast meal. 

He got there and just opened the door because he has a spare key because he doesn't want to disturb the Weeekly members everytime he goes there every morning to spend time with his girlfriend. He checked the next room to check if his girlfriend was there. He opened the door quietly.

He noticed that the lights were on so she knocked before opening the door. As he entered the room, he saw no one but she noticed that the pouch that Jimin used is in the bed.

"Where is she?" Jay asked herself while rubbing her eyes

He headed to the kitchen and he saw nothing, he went straight to the roof because it's her favorite place and he thought to call her because it's late and invite Jimin to sleep in the guest room.

He peeked slightly at the door making sure that he won't make a sound, he wants to peek first if to see if he will bother the both of them because it looks like their talking in a serious way.

He scanned the roof and her eyes were immediately trained on the two figures.

"I'm happy that you're here... You have... you have no idea how you make me happy Jimin unnie." Jaehee said it so earnestly that Jimin couldn't help but smile.

"Me too Jaehee. I missed you haha."

"I miss you too Unnie," Jaehee said now that she returned her gaze to Jimin.

"Happy birthday, Jaehee," Jimin said.

Jimin planted a quick kiss on Jaehee's forehead that made Jaehee shocked. Jaehee stared at her, her huge brown eyes, wide in amazement. And then her face broke into a smile. Her smile is so beautiful. She leaned forward and hugged her.

"Thank you, unnie." She whispered to Jimin as she held on to their embrace, "This has got to be the best birthday I have ever had."

She heard the conversation and saw her two eyes how Jimin planted a soft kiss on Jaehee's forehead just a few inches from the latter's lips.

She saw how Jaehee's face broke into a huge smile, and how she leaned forward and entangled Jimin into her arms.

There's something brewing inside of him. Something he's been avoiding feeling. Something dark and selfish... Jealousy...

He shouldn't be jealous but he is.

He can see how the two are hugging all comfortably.

The way Jaehee comfortably cuddled with Jimin, the ways Jimin's faces seem so serene and clear.

Jongseong stood there for quite a bit.

Taking it all in...

He's carefully watching the two. How weird that she could see Jaehee's body fit perfectly in the mold of Jimin's. How easily Jaehee could rest her head onto Jimin's chest because of their height difference.

If he wasn't in a relationship with Jimin, he wouldn't deny the spark that these two have.

If he wasn't. But he is...

He could trick himself to just see it as two normal best friends sharing a hug but he knows to herself that these two share something more intimate than friendship.

Before he and Jimin got together, Jongseong could see just by Jimin and Jaehee's mare body language around each other that there is more to it than friendship but he kept on denying it to herself because he really likes Jimin.

Too many things are playing in his mind just by looking at the two. He doesn't want to think something at the two of them. He doesn't want to add colors to things that must not be colored. Besides he's not a jealous type of person.

Jongseong wanted to brush off those unwanted thoughts but it looks like it was glued to her mid. And at every minute passed by that, he's just looking at Jimin and Jaehee he's just hurting.

"Just turn the around and walk away," he said in his head trying to tell herself off.

When he finally got the courage, he went back downstairs spent several minutes sitting down, blankly staring at the ceiling as he waited for sleepiness to rule and ease his pain, but it didn't. He even replayed that scene that he witnessed on the rooftop. He let out a bitter laugh and shook her head.

It is 4 am and his eyes were still wide open and couldn't seem to cooperate. Jay's been dying to sleep so that he will forget what he just saw.

He just recalled the wee hours in the morning when Jimin would go to call him on a whim.

He heaved a deep sigh when his chest tightens, so he stood up and went to the other room to check if they have fallen out of sleep. And there she saw the two cuddling in bed. Sleeping soundly.

He felt a pang in his chest every minute he will look at the two and it hurts more.

He headed to the kitchen and help and herself with a glass of water then she just slumped at the kitchen floor leaning his head against the refrigerator. Thinking about what is he even doing at Weeekly's dorm.

He was in the middle of contemplating everything that he is feeling after seeing his girlfriend in the arms of someone he couldn't contend with when he heard footsteps coming from the stairs.

..

"Jongseong?"

The girl looked at her, "Good morning and why are you sitting on the floor? Don't you know that the cold floor might kill the butterflies inside your stomach?!"

The girl held her hand to help him get up. When he stood up, they sat again but at the table and sat right beside her both of their feet hanging as they sat at the top of the kitchen table.

"If the members could see us, most especially Soojin unnie. I'm sure they will get mad at us."

"Why on earth are you sitting on the table?! That's where we eat!! Where are your manners!! Do you know it's hard to clean too!!" Jiyoon said and laughed because she already know what Soojin is going to say every time Soojin will catch her sitting at the table.

Silence ensued.

Jay leaned back with his hand supporting his body and both his feet swinging as they hang while he's sitting on the table.

He released a deep sigh.

The latter chose to keep silent and waited for Jongseong to speak up. After a few seconds, he talked.

"Why are you up so early?" Jongseong asked.

The latter just shrugged.

"Uhhh, nothing much. How about you? Why are you here so early in the morning? " She asked and released a small laugh.

Jongseong just smile and shook his head.

Silence came again

"Uhm. Jiyoon?"

"Hmm?" She stared at Jongseong. She could hear the sadness in his voice.

Jongseong looked at her too and Jiyoon could feel that there's a mixture of nervousness and sadness in his eyes.

"You want to eat?"

Jongseong laughed at what Jiyoon asked her.

"What a different question. Are you sad because you want to eat? Haha"

She wants to answer the joke but she restrained herself because his face looks serious and she could sense that something else was bothering him.

"Nope. Just talk, Jongseong-ssi. Do you want to say something?" Jiyoon straightforwardly asked, "Come on Jongseong just talk. If it's bothering you, you need to let it out." She said with a reassuring smile.

Jay took a long deep breath before speaking with hesitation.

"Have you looked back on all the times you've spent with someone and just replay it in your head over and over again to look for those first signs of trouble?"

Jiyoon laughed again at what Jongseong asked, "What kind of question is that?"

"Have you looked back on all the times you've spent with someone and just replay it in your head over and over again to look for those first signs of trouble?" Jay repeated the question.

Jiyoon just gave her a sad weary smile.

"Let it out before you explode like a bomb."

"Jiyoon. . ."

"What?"

"I love her. . ."

Jay let out a soft laugh.

"Are you like. . . Drunk or something? I know Jay. Actually, everyone knows. And she loves you just the same."

"But. . . but you don't get it. I love her and I want to be with her all the time but. . . Jae. . . Jaehee. . . "

Jiyoon just gave Jongseong a weary smile. She doesn't know what happened and what triggered Jongseong's jealousy but she knows that Jongseong is being eaten by his jealousy bit by bit. And all she can do now is to reassure Jongseong about Jimin.

"I know Jayas. You're just jealous. But just think of it like this. Jaehee is just her best friend, you. . . You're the one that she loves." Jiyoon said a-matter-of-factly.

Jongseong let out a bitter laugh.

"I'm the one that she loves. There
