거짓말 - MAY 23
THE DECISION WAS to go through the day as they did before, but switch who they were going to see. Luna was to see Namjoon, Jungkook, and Taehyung while Seokjin went to see Jimin, Yoongi and Hoseok. Though, there was no way to tell if they were lying, which was the primary cause of Luna's anxiety as she drove into the gas station.
She tried to calm her nerves as she pulled up in front of Namjoon, rolling down the window. He bent over, a smile on his face as he greeted her.
"Good morning, Luna!" he exclaimed. "The usual?"
"You know it," she remarked before Namjoon went to work. She grabbed the small plastic bag of trash, getting out of the car to throw it away at the small trash can nearby.
"What are your plans for today?" he asked casually as he filled up the gas in her car.
"Oh, nothing much. Groceries, the laundry, that fun stuff," she lied. She couldn't exactly say she was planning on running into their friends to ask if they were happy. "What about you?"
"Is that a serious question?" Namjoon sarcastically asked, mentioning to the gas pump he was holding.
"It's not a bad job though, right?" she chuckled a bit, hoping for this conversation to lead where she wanted it to.
"No, yeah, it's pretty relaxing actually," he smiled, causing a scoff to fall out of her mouth.
"Relaxing," she chuckled, leaning against her car. "I hope the fumes haven't made you crazy."
"Not yet," they laughed together.
"So..." Luna spoke after a moment of silence between the two. "You like it here, huh? You're happy?"
"Yeah," Namjoon replied with a smile. "I'd say I'm pretty happy. This place... it's not much, but it feels like home."
A weird analogy, but Luna was glad to hear him nonetheless.

Luna cracked open her makeup compactor on the street in front of the gates of Jungkook's school, her old school, as she waited for him to come out. She watched closely in the reflection, like some spy out of a movie, and when she saw Jungkook walk out, she closed it and shoved it in her pocket. She made her way down the sidewalk, walking toward him.
His head was hung a bit low, his hands tugged on his backpack strings as he stared at his moving feet.
"Jungkook!" Luna pretended to sound surprised as she walked up to him. "What a surprise to see you here," she smiled.
