NARI YAWNED as she steps into the kitchen that morning. There, all the boys as well as Jia sit at the kitchen island table except for Jungkook. She instinctively raised her eyebrow at the sight, wondering where he was.

"Nari! Come eat!" Hoseok was being an extremely nice host as he quickly urged her to eat his cooking, waving his hand for her to come over.

She slowly sits herself beside Yoongi on one of the bar stools of the island table. With tired eyes, she watched Hoseok cook right in front of her.

Yoongi suddenly turns to look at her as a tiny gasp escapes his lips. "You cut your hair?!" He exclaims, wide eyed. This catches Namjoon's attention as he goes to look at Nari's hair too with wide eyes, surprised.

Nari raises an eyebrow, eyeing the man weirdly as she went to touch her hair. Her hair had been tied up ever since she first reunited with the boys. This morning was the first she'd ever let her hair down.

The girl nods. "I thought you knew."

Yoongi shakes his head, bringing his hand up to touch her hair. "Wow, I like it." He says, complimenting her. "It totally fits you." He adds.

Nari smiles at the words. "Thanks." She replies. "By the way, where's... um... where's Jungkook?" She hesitated to ask.

Yoongi raises an eyebrow as he looked at her. He suddenly averts his gaze, a smirk growing on his face. "He's still sleeping. Go wake him up." Yoongi orders, nudging the girl with his elbow.

"Huh?" Nari looks at him wide eyed. "No, you go!" She nudges him back, her eyebrows furrowed in frustration.

Yoongi chuckles before pulling her off her seat and pushing her toward the stairs. "I wasn't asking." He tells her, watching as she gave him a scowl.

She glares at the boy as she makes her way upstairs once again. Nari drags her feet down the hallway, pausing once she stood outside Jungkook and Yoongi's shared bedroom. Clenching her jaw, she couldn't help but be nervous as her hand shook toward the doorknob.

Her heart was beating out of her chest. Talking to Jungkook was easy, because he was him. However, the anticipation leading up to it, made Nari a nervous wreck. Not to mention, her feelings for him that she was so sure he no longer reciprocated them.

Nari takes in a deep breath, reaching for the doorknob. Her fingers slightly graze it when suddenly, the door abruptly opens itself. Surprised, Nari jumps in her place as she stumbled back upon seeing Jungkook standing there with his hand on the doorknob, his eyes wide.

Being the nervous wreck she is, it made her all sorts of clumsy as she trips on her own feet. Jungkook jumps into his all too known protector mode, springing toward Nari to catch her before she falls.
