RE Beginning: FAITH ~V~

Chapter 24

"You are my everything~"

"Ah, fuck," Luna sighs, looking up at her closed curtains. She can see the morning light peeking through the gaps around the thick fabric, reminding her of the natural order of things. Essentially, she spent the whole night starting and finishing this damn drama.

It didn't take her long to find a way to watch it illegally. She can't afford streaming platforms that have older Korean dramas available on them.

She slides out of bed, groaning slightly as she stumbles towards the window. She swings the curtains open dramatically, letting the light in. She can see the faded yellow light of the sunrise peeking over the horizon.

"I actually managed to stay up all night," She murmurs, moving towards her bed.

Well, at least I finished it.

She closes her laptop and places it on her desk, stretching her aching joints. Her stomach rumbles slightly, reminding her of her missed meal.

It's strange, isn't it? There are many human experiences that bring a sense of euphoria and contentment. But to Luna, the one thing that soothes her while simultaneously making her entire brain jelly is staying up all night watching something. Especially Korean dramas.

She shuffles out of her bedroom, making her way to the kitchen to find something to eat. She didn't eat dinner last night and now she is paying the price. The only reason she didn't eat was because of Jimin. She has been avoiding him as effectively as she had been avoiding Taehyung. But he still knocks on her bedroom door and asks her if she is hungry.

But she's not falling for it.

He will eventually bring up Taehyung and ask her questions she doesn't want to answer. She will continue to avoid them as avidly as she is avoiding opening her messenger app.

Hoseok is starting to get irritated by the tension in the household. Apparently, Luna ignoring Jimin for two weeks is too much for him. So, he has started to get involved with the relentless knocking each day, asking her to open up and talk to him.

So, he's being ghosted too.

Which has left Luna in a strange predicament. She wasn't expecting it to be so difficult to hide from the two people she lives with, especially while she is home with one of them 24/7. Without any work or school, Jimin has been moping around the house like a bored, lost, working dog.

So, she has had to resort to eating while they are asleep.

She moves into the living room and heads straight to the kitchen. She only has a small window to succeed in her mission: Breakfast. Soon, they'll hear her and come out to confront her. What she wasn't expecting was a tactical assault.

"Good morning, sleeping beauty,"

Suddenly, the lights of the kitchen are on, revealing Hoseok popping up from behind the kitchen bench. Luna spins around, ready to storm off to her bedroom, only to come face-to-face with Jimin.

"Sleep well?" He asks, smirking slightly.

Luna rolls her eyes and relents. She is too tired and emotionally drained to fight them right now. Especially after seeing Jimin in a defensive stance. They are expecting a fight. She's too predictable.
