"Kyujin, there's a note for you on the table!" Sunoo yelled for the girl noticing alongside the rest of the group of now 7 people that she was the only one gone. But, after seeing the array of different dinner foods all sprawled out on the marble dining table, Sunoo had pushed the thought of Kyujin to the back of his head, diving for the churros.


The girl had appeared soon after he had called her, still a little annoyance in her system after talking with Jungwon. Kyujin grabbed the note on the counter and dropped her bag next to it, speed walking to the couch after making a pit stop to the table after seeing Sunoo steal the churros. She was desperate to sit down as her legs were killing her since she had walked and taken busses all the way home. Not minding Jake and Jay who had somehow turned on her TV and started playing a game from a console, she took a bite of the churro she had taken and disorderly ripped open the envelope which held a note inside.


"What does it say?" Niki appeared to her side with Jihan who peered over the girl's shoulder. But his words were tuned out by Kyujin as she was too focused on reading the messy handwriting on the white, shredded and mucky-like paper. Furrowing her eyebrows, she stopped chewing.


"This is a joke, right?" She spoke up after a couple seconds, garnering the group of seven's attention. Before explaining what she meant, Kyujin turned back to the envelope that was a complete contrast of how the actual note looked like. It was white, clean and looked to be brand new while the paper, which had really confusing words to decipher on it, was all tarnished. All the envelope said was her name, meaning it had no return address so she basically had no idea who could've sent this to her. "What does this mean?" Kyujin passed the note to Jake, a fellow she learned was fluent in English.


"It just says You, Fake, Ill, Mindless, Absence, LIES," Jake read out loud and after doing so, the group was just as confused as Kyujin. "It has no supporting sentences to make sense of the message. I have no idea what that is, but it's kind of creepy." Jake leaned back on the couch next to Jay after handing back the strange note. Jay agreed that it was kind of eerie which left the group in a quiet, ponderous atmosphere. It was so silent, a doorbell ringing startled them greatly.


"I'll be right back," Kyujin was the first to speak up. Her talking sort of triggered the rest of the group to resume their previous actions. For example, Jay and Jake started up the game again for another round and Wonyoung was back to heating up the left over pizza she found with Jihan and Sunoo. As Kyujin distanced herself from the group in her living room, she noticed then that he parents weren't even present in the house. She glanced back at the note and envelope in her hands again as she walked closer to the door and opened it. "What?"


It was Jungwon.


He looked just as annoyed as Kyujin did, his pride sinking once he realized that he had to be the one to engage speaking to her again after they both made it clear that they did not get along. "My parents are stuck in rush hour traffic," He said simply, placing both his hands inside his pants pockets with no emotion in his facial expression.
