As Jimin sat in front of Jungkook in the restaurant, he leaned back and eyed him suspiciously. "So, why did you want to meet me so suddenly?" he asked.

Jungkook smiled innocently. "I told you, hyung, I missed you. It's been so long."

Jimin narrowed his eyes. "You think I'm a fool, motherfucker? Just spit out the real reason."

Jungkook sighed, rolling his eyes before leaning forward. "Alright, then. Hear me out."

"Knew it," Jimin smirked, crossing his arms.

Jungkook took a deep breath. "I want you to try my new app."

Jimin raised an eyebrow. "App? What app?"

"It's called Ethereal," Jungkook said, his eyes shining with excitement.

"And how does this app work?" Jimin asked, still skeptical.

Jungkook leaned in even closer. "It’s called Ethereal," Jungkook explained. "It’s designed for people who are introverted or have trouble making friends. It helps those who feel isolated and have difficulty sharing their problems."

Jimin’s eyes widened slightly. "That’s it?"

"Well, there’s more basically," Jungkook continued, "the app offers a virtual companion. Users can chat with it and share their thoughts without fear of judgment. The AI learns from these conversations, becoming better at understanding and supporting them over time."

Jimin nodded slowly, starting to understand. "So, it’s like a virtual companion?"

"Exactly," Jungkook said, a smile spreading across his face. "Many people struggle with social interactions nowadays. This app provides a sense of companionship and helps them feel less alone."

Jimin rubbed his chin thoughtfully. "That actually sounds pretty useful. I can see how it could help a lot of people."

Jungkook grinned. "Thanks, hyung. I’m really excited about it."

"So, you want me to give it a try?" Jimin asked, his tone a mix of curiosity and doubt.

"Yes, exactly," Jungkook replied, leaning forward with a hopeful expression.

Jimin raised an eyebrow. "But I’m not lonely. I have a boyfriend and a best friend, and I’m very comfortable talking with them about anything."

Jungkook fidgeted, his hands clenched on his lap. "I understand, hyung. But maybe you could recommend the app to friends who might need it. You know, people who struggle with loneliness or find it hard to open up to others."

Jimin examined Jungkook’s face for a full minute. Jungkook’s nervousness was evident, and he tried to keep his tone casual to avoid sounding suspicious.

Jimin finally said, "Alright, I’ll think about it. I’ll see if any of my friends might find it useful."

Jungkook’s face brightened with relief. "Thank you, hyung. I really appreciate your help with this."

As Jimin stood up from the table, he gave Jungkook a thoughtful look. "I’ll definitely consider it. It seems like you’ve put a lot of thought into this."
