Maia's POV:

After my argument with Jk, I went to my room and started packing my stuff. I felt like I needed to leave the house because I'd be too embarrassed to face them after ruining everyone's weekend plans. As I stuffed my suitcase with my skincare products, I kept going back and forth on whether I should stay or not. Then, I heard the girls come in the room. They knocked on the door as they opened it.

"Maia, honey, are you ok?" Anna asked me

"Yeah, why?"

"Because, your suitcase is packed and JK is downstairs ALONE and you are here ALONE" Sophie pointed out the obvious.

"He was being immature, and I just needed some time by myself."

"mmmhumm.... are you sure you're not the one being immature and a little dramatic?" Anna crossed her arms over her chest in disbelief.

"I mean, we– I might have said some things in ways I shouldn't have, too" I sat on the edge of the bed. Anna and Soph came next to me, they sat one on each side.

I told them everything about our conversation. I told them it had quickly turned into an argument because for weeks I've been holding stuff up and haven't said anything... and I also kinda missed my home. I started crying when I told them I wanted my mom there with me to hug me and tell me everything was going to be ok. They both hugged me tightly, and even though it wasn't my mom, I felt safe.

"He basically said I was 'una cualquiera' (T: A nice way to describe a sl*t) for being friendly to other people" I said, wiping my tears away.

"Sweetie! No, no... We know you are not that!" Anna said, rubbing my back.

"Yeah Maia, I think you need to remember korean culture is different" Sophie added, "don't you remember all the kdramas we've watched before?"

"You guys just need to come to a middle ground... plus.. It's been only about a month since you went on your first date, so as a professional I need to tell you this, with all the love I have for you: STOP BEING DRAMATIC. This is not the way I've taught you to communicate your feelings!"

"Yeah Maia, you have told me many times before that people don't know what goes through your head so you need to use your voice to tell them.... I honestly don't think JK knows that you've been missing home, and that you've been concerned" Sophie added, "I think, that... you don't know each other enough yet to know how to tell each other things like this....You know?" Because Sophie was good at observing everything, she was really good at point out things like this.

"Maybe you are right" I sighed. "What do I do now?"

"Maia, you need to TALK to him" Anna said sternly.

"And in regards of ARMY, here's what Tae told me today: we can't control what they think" Sophie responded.

"I know... I just don't want JK to be hurt by ARMY.... this man has already been through enough with his tattoos, and his puppy and the piercings... and he still loves ARMY so much, it honestly hurts my heart that ARMY mistreats him like that"

"Hun, but there's nothing we can do about it, they are grown men and they know what they are doing... heck they've been through worse before and look at them now!" Anna replied.

I tried to smile at them, "I heard Jin saying dinner was ready before, so why don't you go and I'll stay here and un pack my things."

"You sure?" Anna got up from the bed, holding my hand.

I nodded. Sophie gave me a hug and both of them left the room. Before the door closed, I saw a tattooed hand hold it open.

"Can I come in?" The door slightly open and Jk's head sneaking from behind it.
