JIN POV

It needs to be as presentable as possible. The aglio olio, wine, steak, and grapes needs to be as presentable as possible.

I finally got the chance to talk to Namjoon about something that has been on my heart for a while. Everything needs to be perfect. The members gasp everytime they walk by my presentation. No one expected me to do as grand as this.

Of course. They won't.

Namjoon arrives in his pajamas. And shakes my hand.

Namjoon: Wow. You really outdone yourself. How are we ever going to beat this?
Jin: Come on! Sit down.

We were across each other on a small picnic table outside the house. I've prepared lights too. It was like a date but ofcourse it wasn't. What I'm going to tell Namjoon will not sound like a date.

Namjoon: So..
Jin: Soo.. how are things?
Namjoon: Fine, I guess.
Jin: We're even taking a break after this. What an exciting time.
Namjoon: I know. I'll be around museums. It's going to be exciting. We've already created an itinerary.
Jin: That's good to know, Namjoon.

We took a bite. Sipped.

Namjoon: Why'd you choose me, Jin-hyung? I thought you were going to choose JK.
Jin: Me and JK always talk.
Namjoon: Not recently.

I looked at him. I didn't even realize that.

Namjoon: You were close. You are so close everyone noticed you weren't anymore.

I was quiet.
I didn't know.
I admir I purposely lock my door at night and not come to JK's to make some distance. But I didn't know it was very obvious.

Jin: We're fine.
Namjoon: No one knows what happened when you picked him up on the train station. Did you guys talk about anything?

I found out that time that I never really understood JK or anyone else on the team. I don't know how much pressured they are. How busy they are. Because I was not. I have no endorsements or I can't come up with any songs. I don't choreograph and I don't produce music. I'm just an extra member.

I'll just be a burden.

Jin: About that. I wanted to speak to you about it.

JUNGKOOK PV

JK!

Jimin woke me up from a horrible dream.

Jimin: Are you okay? Why are you crying?
JK: What?

I touched my face and I felt tears.

JK: Why are you here?
Jimin: I heard you from upstairs in my room. You're calling Jin-hyung's name. What did you dream about?
JK: I can't... remember..

Ofcourse I remember. The closing curtains. Jin-hyung's back. I remember everything.
