Chapter 21

"Is Taehyung still asleep?" Yoongi pretended to be ignorant of the fact that his friend had already left while he walked into the living room with Ari following him from behind, closing up better the robe she was wearing.

"No, he actually left a few minutes before you came." She informed him and he left his face to portray some momentary surprise.

"You're kidding me. I woke up earlier just to find him. I had something to talk to him about." He went on with his act uttering one lie after the other, his right hand reaching to his neck and ruffling the back of his hair a bit, as part of him was still awkward.

"Was it something serious? If we were to call him to tell him to come back, I am sure he would. He shouldn't have driven too far yet." She offered him a solution even though he knew that Taehyung wouldn't get back even if she called him, especially today, firstly because he had a teachers' meeting early in the morning and secondly because if any of the two were to immediately interfere in the actions of the other it would mean that they are afraid and in a sense admit loss.

"No, it doesn't matter. It was just a matter of work." He answered her and paused, turning his head toward the kitchen, thinking to use it as an excuse to stay longer.

"You said that you left home early right? I have breakfast ready so...if you have not eaten yet" Ari couldn't help but offer him since he had already seen because she didn't want to be rude or make him feel unwelcomed.

"Are you sure you don't mind?" He tried to show his considerate side as he had already taken one or two steps closer to the kitchen, the aroma of the food breaking his nose.

"Feel at home, it's totally fine." Ari smiled at him before they both walked to the table a took a seat the one opposite from each other, for she hadn't eaten breakfast yet either.

"At home, I accompany my breakfast with a sweet kiss at the beginning of each bite and by the end of it, sometimes I end up in bed again." He uttered matter of factly,  making Ari choke on the bite she had just placed in her mouth.

Dae and he sure are wild huh...

"Well if that's how it is then maybe you shouldn't feel so much at home after all." She smiled a bit as she practically retreated from her previous statement, yet the look that he gave her made her instantly feel a shift in the atmosphere that made her slightly tense.

He laughed soon after however, making her feel relieved again that he hadn't gotten mad with her or something.

As they returned to eating and silence fell between them, that small joke ended up running in her mind, and growing unhelpful to her to a point as she couldn't help but recall some old memories.

She and Dae used to have a small crash on them at the beginning of their time. Yet she had had a crush on Yoongi and not Taehyung who she was currently dating. Both her and Dae had ended up being with the opposite man they crashed over back then. That small laugh of his made her recall how she and Dae had once argued over whose smile was better among the guys, her insisting on Yoongi's so much back then. It was ridiculous and hilarious to think of it now.

Of course, these thoughts belong to the past and now neither of them sees the other boyfriend of the other in that way. And neither they should.

---change of set---

Seon was pacing in and out of her kitchen waiting for Jungkook to come and eat his breakfast before going to work.

She was very anxious because from the moment she woke up, all that went through her mind was guilt and the need, to be honest with him. She had to tell him before it gets too late. She could no longer bear the weight in her consciousness.
