It has been almost a month since you last spoke to Namjoon and the rest of the group. They have been busy and so have you with work. The new baseball season is coming up and you have been working like crazy. There are new players coming in from the States so you have been interviewing a few of them. Just the other day, Hoseok wanted to hang out but you couldn't since you were interviewing players. He mentioned the available days he had but it didn't align with your schedule. You felt bad but you were truly busy with work and honestly you really had no interest in hanging out with him or the rest of the group.

Every time you saw Namjoon post on Instagram, it made your heart drop knowing that you two haven't talked for so long. But the feeling could also be applied to the rest of your friends. You have never gone this long not talking to them. You feel guilty ignoring them because it's truly not their fault.

Although, you told yourself Nuri received what she wanted. You hope when the group hangs out now, Nuri is there comfortably. You wonder if Namjoon told her what was said but shrug it off because you know he tells her everything. She probably hates me even more.

You hang out with your girlfriends more now, making some new ones as well. The new ones don't know you are friends with BTS and it is refreshing they don't ask about them. Amina, whom you've known since grade school, always asks about them. You tell her the same thing, starting to grow annoyed. You have deiced to move on from them. You figured everyone grows apart at some time in their life. You even stopped wearing the bracelet because it no longer has meaning.

After a long day at work all you want to do was take a bath and go straight to bed. You are filling the bathtub, when you hear a knock on the door. You wonder who could be here so late. You wonder if it was your coworker Jack, he is from the States and probably needed help with something. You gave him your address in case of an emergency since he does not know Seoul very well.

You walk to the door and gaze out your peep hole to see Jin standing in the hallway. What is he doing here?  You are happy to see him but at the same time hesitate to open the door. You notice he brought a bottle of wine and not any wine, your most favorite one . He turns his body to look down the hallway, looking like he was about to turn away, when you slightly open the door. Jin quickly turns around to look at you.

"Hi..." You say shyly opening the door enough to see your face.

"Hello to you to! You've been ignoring us?" Jin yells but trying to joke as a smile appears.

"I've been so busy with work," You say rubbing the back of your neck sheepishly.

"Sure, 'busy!'" He does quotation marks with his fingers to emphasize how you probably aren't. "You have been ignoring us," Jin never sugarcoats anything, always straight to the point. "Well, can I come in?"

"Yeah..." You open the door wide enough for him to walk in, just for him to quickly take off his shoes and head straight to the kitchen. He sets the bottle of wine on the counter, as he is rummaging through your cabinets. You stand still by your front door in disbelief.

"What the hell are you doing?" You ask chuckling, moving closer to the kitchen. You began walking to him to see if he needs help.

"Trying to find wine glasses. We are going to talk and wine helps with calming the nerves. I'm going to get to the bottom of everything," he finds the wine glasses and began to pour wine into them for you and him. Although, you feel like it's more for him.

You roll your eyes but you take the drink Jin ever-so kindly pored for you. You decide it was nice out and you want to sit outside on your balcony. You slide the glass door open and let Jin out first as you follow behind him. He quickly sits down, wasting no time to figure out the situation. You are sitting across from him on your new, comfortable black and white outdoor furniture you purchased a few days ago.
