Guyssssss it really happened, all members are gone and have enlisted! 😭
I just feel this emptiness and loneliness without them, so I'm writing this story in hopes of making some distraction out of this situation for myself and hopefully for you guys too 🙏🏼
Enjoy! :-)

"Gosh, I'm so sorry to interrupt your first day together," Jugyeong limps to the couch settles down between Jimin and Alexa. "I don't know how it happened, I woke up to get some water but stumbled from the bed and hurt my leg."

She stretches out her leg on the coffee table and looks skeptically between Alexa and Jimin, who are sitting awkwardly on either side of her. Jimin's initial plans of enjoying a romantic night with Alexa alone were ruined when Jugyeong called and asked Alexa to pick her up from her place. She claimed she had an accident and needed her help.

"Maybe we should bring you to the hospital so a doctor can check up-"

"No!" Jugyeong interrups Alexa which earns her a skeptical look from Jimin. "I mean, I'm okay. I just need some rest. I can't step on it but it will be okay in the morning I guess."

Jimin's phone rings, breaking the silence. "Excuse me for a second," he says and leaves the room, closing the door behind him.

Jugyeong abruptly turns to Alexa, grabbing her arm. "What is going on?" she demands, her voice trembling.

"What?" Alexa looks at Jugyeong's ankle which seems to be suddenly healed again.

"Namjoon called me saying that it's an emergency and I shouldn't leave you alone with Jimin. What's going on?"

A small smile creeps on Alexa's face, knowing that even though she told Jungkook to let her handle this on her own, he still didn't listen to her and unknowingly saved her.

"Is your boyfriend doing anything to you? Because I swear if he does, I'm going to cut off his-" Jugyeong starts to rant, but Alexa cuts her off.

"Jugyeong, please, don't panic." Alexa's voice is strained. "There's a lot you don't know, but I have to break up with Jimin and I don't know how to do it. He's not the person I thought he was."

Jugyeong looks at her friend with sympathy and concern. She has no idea what went wrong between them or what they are going through, but she can sense the anguish and exhaustion in Alexa's eyes and decides to support her. "You don't have to explain anything, I'm here to help you with whatever you need."

Alexa feels a surge of gratitude for her friend. She didn't have many friends in her life, and most of them were superficial and selfish. She had always felt lonely and misunderstood her whole life, until she met Jugyeong. Jugyeong was different. She was kind, loyal, and genuine. She always listened to Alexa's problems and offered her comfort and advice. She never judged or betrayed her. She was the only friend Alexa ever had, and for once, she felt really cared for.

Jugyeong took Alexa's hand and squeezed it gently. "You don't have to worry about finding a place to stay when you end things with Jimin. You're not completely alone and on your own here, you can stay with me however long you want," she said, offering her a supportive smile. She can only imagine how hard it must be for her right now. Being in a foreign country and needing to destroy everything you've built up over the years because the person you put your trust in was the wrong one.

Alexa felt a surge of gratitude for her friend's support, because even though she had Jungkook, she knew that it would probably take her a long time to trust a man completely again. Yes, Jungkook was supportive and gentle, he never showed any signs of being toxic and he would probably never take away her right to study or work and give her the freedom she deserved, but Alexa had learned from her mistakes. She didn't want to depend on a man ever again, no matter how good he is. She wanted to study and work for herself, to carve her own path in the world, and to be independent.
