"What I'm trying to say is, I can keep a secret, for as long as I like. I can take secrets to my grave." her tone lowers, their eye contact doesn't ease, "But I need you to promise me you'll do that too. Because if you do, we'll be okay. We'll be sa...

Car keys jingling in hand, Vivi lightly goes down the stairs, her mood surprisingly good today.
Maybe it's because she woke up at eight after a good six hour sleep. Not recommended by health professionals but for her it's a miracle. A good amount of sleep.
Maybe it's because she didn't wake up screaming last night. Went to bed at one in the morning, scrolled social media for an hour before falling asleep without struggle.
Or maybe because she suddenly feels at ease. As if nothing's bothering her even though there's a lot to be bothered by. But today she's feeling like she can push them aside. At least for a day.
It was somewhere between one and two in the afternoon when she decided to dress up, jeans and a white shirt, even put her shoes and long black coat on, threw her hair into a ponytail before making her way downstairs.
Weirdly enough it's her third time visiting the bottom floor this week, more than she did last year, but she doesn't think much of it. Nonchalantly she heads to the kitchen where chatting and conversing are heard.
"I was terrible at it. Stumbled with the freaking ball in my hand and landed on my face. The whole class saw it." the sound of Sunmi's bright laugh carry all the way down to the hallway, causes Vivi to slow down with her steps just so she could eavesdrop.
She hears Jungkook too, his laugh surprisingly loud as well. It reminds her of last night, when they were in the upstairs kitchen, laughing just like he's doing now with Sunmi.
"Everybody has that one memory of falling down in front of the whole class." he says, chuckling, "We had a soccer game and I wanted to show this one girl my skills and ended up kicking my face with my knee and falling down right after. Blew my chances with her right then and there."
He's just as relaxed with her than he was with me, Vivi thinks. If it wasn't for the sudden odd stone in her upper stomach, weighing her and making her feel uncomfortable, she'd be happy he feels at home in here.
Can't bare to listen any longer with the heavy sensation she suddenly carries with her, she speeds with her steps, reaches the opening of the kitchen faster than what's considered a normal pace.
"Vivianne." Sunmi's the first one to notice her, gets up from the dinner table quickly.
Jungkook has his back to Vivi but without a second thought he mimicks Sunmi, gets up too and turns to her. They both look at her as if something's wrong, as if she wouldn't be here if something bad has happened or is about to happen.
"Hi." Vivi's voice is full of breath as she fidgets with her car keys, observes them both with a hasty smile.
Sunmi's in her normal attire, jeans and a black shirt, hair up in a bun, while Jungkook's in black jeans and a black t shirt.
