~~~~~Jungkook

"Hyung? Do you know where my tims are?"

"No! Why would i know where your shoes are?"

"Come on Jimin Hyung... I know you borrowed them just last week."

"Maybe, but I put them back Jungkook. So if they're missing now, I have no idea why!"

"Ugh! So frustrating! Why do people take my stuff?!?"

"What's the big deal? Hot date or something?"

"No... Just taking a girl to dinner. She's the daughter of my Mom's friend. She's new to Seoul so I agreed to accompany her... I don't even know her."

"Your mom set you up? She knows about Haerin, right?"

"I told you... It's not like that!"

"Sure Kook... Whatever you say..."

"Shut up!"

I don't know why my Hyungs tease me so bad. Jimin especially... He knows I'm waiting for Haerin. It's frustrating because even though it's been 2 years, and our group is gaining popularity, I still think about quitting. Just a call from her and I'd give it up if she asked. I miss her so much, and it breaks my heart that I haven't spoken to her in so long.

Is she waiting for me? Does she know about me being in BTS? Does she watch our videos, vlives, and logs? I watch the comments closely, whenever I do a solo video, hoping I'll see a comment from her. I'm happy with the support of ARMY, but I am always wishing for just a sign that she is still mine. How much longer will I have to wait?

I asked my mom if she knows anything about Hae, but she changed the subject to her friend's daughter. This made me nervous, like she knows something but isn't saying. I tried again, and she told me to 'move on'... She doesn't know me at all. I know she's so proud of my achievement, but it doesn't mean as much to me without Haerin.

"Jungkook-ah... Jimin said you're looking for these... Sorry. I borrowed them to practice with my new camera. I needed a muse, and the tims were speaking to me."

Taehyung Hyung walks in, without knocking as usual, and hands over my boots. I bite my tongue to not yell at him, and just thank him. I really need to start locking my room... He plops down on my bed and looks at me getting ready. I don't acknowledge him though... He is here to find out about the 'date' as I'm sure Jimin told him to.

When I'm finished getting dressed, I sit and pull on my boots. I'm about to leave when Taehyung finally starts talking.

"Are you going on a date Jungkook?"

"It's just a favor for my Mom, Hyung."

"What if you like this 'favor' once you meet her?"

"I'm not interested in... Nevermind... I'm sure she's a really nice girl. I am just not looking to date someone right now."

"Because you're waiting for that girl, right?"

"Right"

"How long do you wait Kook?"

"I don't know Hyung... I guess until I find out there is a reason not to."

~~~~~Naeun

A year ago, I literally picked Haerin up off the sidewalk because she'd almost been beaten to death. I thought things would change after that. I thought they'd get better... The problem is, when the devil has you in his grasp, he doesn't let go easily.
