"What's up with you!? Calling me out on the weekend" Nari smiles warmly at me...

"Just... Wanted some time apart from my best friends" I say sipping at my coffee...

"What!! Is everything okay!? Is this because of the fight!? " She asks startled...

"It was that obvious huh!? " I didn't really think other people would realize we were fighting...

"Of course. You guys stopped having lunch together. There was always this weird, angry tension in the room.. Knowing you 7, not knowing that something was wrong, would be dumb. " Nari rolls her eyes slightly.

Right... Now that I look back at it. It was as obvious as it could get.
"We made up... We're fine now. Nothing's wrong" I smile at Nari.

"Something is clearly bothering you.I won't push it. But feel free to tell me, if you want to"

I couldn't get what Jin said to me yesterday ,out of my head. I never expected that...

We've been friends for almost a decade now. Jin has been that one person with whom I wanted to hang out all the time. I wanted to talk to him. Spend time with him. See him.

I'd never imagined-

"What would you do if one of your friend confessed to you!? " What the f-!? Does Nari know!?

"Woah! Chill. You look like I've asked you to give me one of your kidneys" She sips another sip of her milkshake avoiding eye contact...
And then she looked at me intently, after a few seconds, her eyes become extremely wide in shock. "Oh My. Did one of your friends confess to you or something!? " I choke on my coffee and cough hysterically... "No way... " She looks so shock, that it could almost be misunderstood for hurt.
"What did you say!? "

"Nothing happened ok... " I try to convince her

"Nope. Too late. So tell me" She gives me a hard stare "or don't, if you don't want to... But it looks like it would help whatever crisis you're going through"

"So... He said he liked me... For years now. And I.. I don't know what to do... How to feel... I don't know anything right now."

Nari pov

"It would definitely be a lot to get a confession from someone who you've only seen as a friend for so long" I tap her palm trying to comfort her.

Yn is very easy to read... You can tell what she's feeling... What she's going through... Just by looking at the way her body has sat and her lips are formed...

When she's tired or confused, she pouts them cutely...
When she's having a hard time like right now she bits them every so slightly...
When she's happy they are lightly up... You won't notice it. Till you really observe...
When she is sad, like she has been for the past week, her lips form a straight line...

The thing is... People usually don't notice these things about her... I do though. Cause i-

My phone busses due to a text from RM...

Hey... Where are you. I thought we were meeting in the book store at 10am today... It's 10 am.

Did you forget again.

Damn it, Nari.

" Shit." Yn looks at me surprised

"What happened!?"

"I'm so sorry. I was supposed to meet up with RM today" I grab my purse.

"Wait! My best friend RM!?" asks surprised "You two hang out outside of work!?" She asks me extremely confused.

"You didn't know!?"

"Nope"

"We're friends Yn... We both love reading. He has good taste in books"

"Ohhhh. Makes sense." She waves at me and I walk out as swiftly as I came in. Lucky for me the bookshop is not far away.

"I'm really sorry... " I am cut of by RM

"What's your excuse this time!? " RM looks at me, disappointed.

"I was with Yn" I see his expression drop to pity and back, in a blink of an eye...

"Sure. Ditch your plans with your friend, for girl you like" He walks into the store before I speak...

But that doesn't stop me "Hey!! That girl is your best friend"

After Apologizing a million times... He finally forgave me...

"Are you gonna keep being friends with Yn!? " I was taken aback not just by the question but the tone he used for it... He was worried.

Before today I would see no reason for anybody to be worried about me and Yn being friends... But now. I won't deny it anymore...
"It does hurt... I think she likes someone else." I didnt miss the slight look of shock he had. I know Yn well enough to know that she definitely likes her best friend, which one I'm not sure yet. "But it's ok. I'll be fine. " I try to smile... RM only looks down, more worry on his face.

"I don't think you should go on like this. It is only ever gonna hurt you."

"Then what should I do!? " I ask him

"Honestly... I don't know. " He shrugs causing me to break out in a smile.

He smiles at me warmly. "Nice to see you finally smile". My smile spreads even wider.

Jhope pov

"Where is everyone!? " I ask the maknae line who sat around the living room...

"Jin Hyung went to a stroll with the baby." Jk says...

"Yes... And Suga Hyung didn't let him do so, till he agreed to taking him along. Which was a weird sight to see" V adds.

"I think Jin Hyung was crying last night. He's eyes were a little puffy this morning" Jimin says concerned...

"Really!?" The rest of us asked surprised...

"I think so." Jimin replies.

"And, RM Hyung went to the book store with a friend, probably Nari." Jk says after a moment of silence.

"Of course.Where's Yn!? " The maknae line shrugs at my question...

This girl... I swear... I didn't see her since yesterday. And that never happens

I take out my phone and text her

Yn... Where are you!?
You should have told me before you left...

Sorry hope, you were asleep and
I didn't want to disturb you.

Anyway. Do you want to join me for lunch now!?

It's only 11 am, Yn.

So!?
We could just hang out till then.

Sure.

I sigh and put my phone back in.

"Guys... Something is wrong with Yn"
