Ian: Well... hello there, Bro... 

Seokjin: Ian! Why you're here early morning? I thought you wanna sleep in?

Ian: Jinnie! I brought us breakfast. I mean a set for us. Bro, didn't know you'll be here. You can get yours at the banquet now, its already open. You should go before it gets too crowded.

Seokjin: Yea, JK you should. They said there's a company event yesterday, so its fully book. Ian come in, we'll eat at the balcony. 

Ian (smirk): Excuse Bro.

Jungkook: If its full house... all the more I shouldn't go right? I'll just call in room service then. 

Seokjin: Ok. Enjoy your breakfast then... what? Gosh.

Jungkook: Hi, I would like to order the breakfast set for two. Thank you. Why are you looking at me?

Seokjin: Why are you calling using my line? And breakfast set for two?

Jungkook: I'm hungry and I don't wanna eat alone.

Seokjin: There's only two chairs! Your breakfast set will occupy the whole table.

Jungkook: You can eat your breakfast quickly. So by the time the food comes, you're done.

Seokjin: You're so inconsiderate! Always think about yourself!

Ian: Jinnie... its okay. You can share seat with me. Come here.

Seokjin: No. This is not okay. He has always been a brat! I'm not tolerating all this. If he don't wanna eat alone, he can call Jimin and Tae! 

Jungkook: Fine! You know what? I'll leave! Hi, sorry can you please send the food to room 1330 instead? Thanks. 

Jungkook slammed the door, leaving Seokjin in the room feeling exasperated from their earlier argument. Seokjin really tried to control but he was too caught with his emotions that he eventually cried. Ian came to console, yet the tears won't stop flowing.

Seokjin: This is just stupid. This whole thing is stupid. I don't even know why I overreacted. This argument is just childish. Gosh! Why the hell can't I stop crying?

Ian: Shhh... it's okay... sometimes it happens... 

Seokjin: I don't know why I even shouted at him...

Ian: Maybe its just pent up emotions over time... and somehow certain things or words trigger our emotions and thus we reacted that way, be it intentionally or unintentionally.

Seokjin: Maybe... I'm sorry... I didn't expect for this to happen... JK and I... we... ughh sorry to ruin the vacation...

Ian: Hey. What do you mean, its ruin? We still have 3 days to spend our vacation. Whatever that happens earlier on does not even makes up one quarter of the trip. So you didn't ruin anything. Come, let me see those smile.

Seokjin: Thanks, hyung.

Jimin and Taehyung are generally the night owls in the group. It had only been an hour since they fall asleep, hence the genuine annoyance when there's intermittent doorbell. Jimin and Taehyung kicked one another, till Taehyung lost the battle and had to answer the door.

Taehyung: Hmm...?

Staff: Room service, breakfast set for 2.

Taehyung: Room service? Jimin... did you order room service?

Jimin: No. Since when I eat breakfast.

Staff: Oh! Initially it was meant for room 4006, but it was later changed to 1330.

Taehyung: 4006? Jimin? Who's room is that?

Jimin: Maybe they misheard the room wrongly. JK is 4007. Just let them in, Tae.

Taehyung: Sure. Come in. 

Staff: Thank you. I'll set the table for you, quickly.

Jungkook went running the whole morning to shake off the frustration. He's now visibly tired from hunger and lack of sleep, but yet, he doesn't want to return back to hotel. He is not ready to witness any act of affection from those two. And so, he went back to his home wanting to rest, only that he got bombarded by his family questioning his sudden appearance to the household.

Jungkook: Mom... can you ask me later? I didn't manage to sleep the whole night...

JK Mom: Sure. You can go to your room. Its clean.

Jungkook: Of course I know its clean. You always clean up the room, even when I told you to just leave it. Right?

JK Mom: Well fortunately I clean up. So the room is always ready whenever you're back son.

Jungkook: Thanks mom. You're the best. But really, you should just leave this room. Not that I come over often. 

JK Mom: Yah! This is my home. I'll do whatever I want to do.

Jungkook: Sure sure... Nights mom.

Once Jungkook is out of sight, Jungkook's mom dials a number...

Seokjin: Hi Aunty... How are you?

JK Mom: I'm good. Nice to hear from you son. And Jinnie, how many times should I tell you, to call me Mom? Even though you're no longer together, you're still my pretty son. 

Seokjin: You flatter me so much. 

JK Mom: Its the truth, Jinnie. Actually, son, I wanted to ask if you know anything on with JK recently?

Seokjin: Hmm... why?

JK Mom: Out of nowhere he just appeared here without any notice.

Seokjin: Sorry... we had an argument earlier on...

JK Mom: Eh? You're in Busan too?

Seokjin: Yes. I just arrived yesterday with my friend. 

JK Mom: If you have time do come over for lunch or dinner okay? You can bring along your friend too.

Seokjin: Sure, I'll make time to drop by. But aren't you going to reprimand me for the argument?

JK Mom: Nah... it's okay to have arguments once in a while Jinnie-ah... we're all humans, we're not perfect. I'm sure there's always a reason behind every argument.

Seokjin: Sorry, mom.

JK Mom: There's no need to be sorry, Jinnie-ah.

Seokjin: Hmm...

JK Mom: I'll see you for lunch, ya? 

Seokjin: Hmmm.. huh? Today?

JK Mom: Yeah. Bring your friend along! Bye Jinnie!

Before Seokjin can reply, Jungkook's mother had ended the call. He was hesitant as he looks across him. Ian noticed his reaction and raised his eyebrows, waiting for him to provide a reply. There's part of him, that feels guilty towards Ian as this vacation is not going the way it was planned between them.
