Jihoon's POV

I walked up to Anas' building, hesitating on going in. I wanted to talk to her and Nina. To say sorry to the both of them. To tell Ana I wasn't going to lose her to Taewoon or Zico.

That I still loved her.

The elevator door opened and Taewoon, Sungmin, and Nina walked out. I ran around the corner of the building to make sure they don't see me. I watched as they walked past me. Nina looked happy with them. She was smiling at Taewoon the way she used to smile at me. My hands unconsciously ball up.

If they're gone then that means Ana is probably alone right now. This could be my chance to go speak to her, but my feet moved in the direction of the other three.

I followed them to a grocery store. As they went down one aisle I went down the one next to it, listening to them talk.

"Nina can you carry this for me?" A voice sounding like Taewoon said.

"Yes Oppa!" Ninas high pitched voice happily spoke up.

"Hey Hyung can we get these?"

"Sungmin we aren't here for us."

"It's for Diana. She loves these." Sungmin said.

"Fine put them in the basket. Nina, do you want something?" It was quiet for a few seconds. "You sure you don't want anything? It can be whatever you want." It was quiet again. Was she shaking her head? "Okay. If you change your mind tell me before we head to the cash register."

"Okay Oppa." She sounded shy all of a sudden. I looked up and saw a mirror on the ceiling. Their reflection can be seen. Nina was looking down kicking her feet back and forth. They started down the aisle and when they reached the end they turn and started down my aisle. I turned, hiding my face behind a box of graham crackers. The hood of my jacket was up making it easier to hide my face.

Walking down the aisle I turn into the next one. It was the freezer aisle. I stop in front of a freezer door and open it, the cold air hitting my face. I reached in and grabbed the one thing I knew Nina wanted, but was to scared to ask for.

««««««

"Umma! Can we get these?" Nina asked running up to us with fudgesicles.

"No Nina. It will ruin your dinner. Go put them back." She turned around with a sad look on her face. I walked with her until we reached the freezers. She opened the door, shivering when the cold air brushed against her cheeks. Placing the fudgesicles back where she had found them.

Closing the freezer she quietly walked back to our mom. When they both turn the corner I quickly grab the box Nina had set down just seconds ago and head back to my mom and sister. They were at the register placing everything on the conveyor. When neither of them were looking I secretly place the frozen good behind the boxes of cereal.

When we get home I help take in most of the bags. As soon as we finally bring everything out of the car my mom begins to put things in their rightful place. Before she could get to the bag with the fudgesicles in them I quickly move her aside.

"Umma, why don't you go rest." I told her.

"Jihoon I'm almost done. Then I have to start making dinner." She said reaching out for the bag again.

"Why don't we just order out tonight. You've been working for days in another country and then you come home and start working again. You need to rest." I push her by the shoulders into the living room, having her sit on the couch. I prop her legs up on the coffee table and putting nice soft slippers on her feet.
