      "What's wrong with them? All four of them are not okay, especially after that party," Jisso said, her brow furrowed with concern.

        Their once warm friendship is growing cold, like the chill that settles in when the seasons begin to change.

        They are drifting apart, with each passing day feeling more distant, no longer spending time together as they used to in the carefree moments of old days.

       Conversations that once flowed easily now feel strained and interrupted, and laughter that used to echo through their gatherings has become a rare sound.

       Something feels off in the air, an unspoken tension that lingers over them, but they have no idea what it is, and that gnaws at their hearts, filling them with worry.

        They dearly love their friendship, cherishing the memories they have created together, and it pains them to see their bond fraying at the edges.

       All four of them—jisoo, bo gum, Jimin, and rose—are deeply concerned about Jungkook, Jennie, Lisa and taehyung who has been acting increasingly distant and exhibiting behavior that feels unusual for them.

       Their s once vibrant spirit seems dimmed, and their smiles are fewer and more forced.

       The others want to confront them about how they feel, to ask if something is bothering them or if there’s a reason behind their sudden withdrawal.

        However, every time they broach the subject, it's like talking to a wall; they sidesteps their concerns as if ignoring the elephant in the room, brushing off their inquiries as if nothing has changed.

         Despite their attempts, the familiar connection feels frayed, and the undertones of their conversations are filled with unexpressed worry.

        Their interactions are marked by a subtle awkwardness, an evident tension hanging in the air that cannot be ignored.

        Gone are the days of easy banter and shared inside jokes—now, each laugh feels forced, every smile a veneer over something deeper.

         The atmosphere shifts as they sit together, the heaviness of unspoken words weighing on them, a silent acknowledgment of the growing divide that leaves them all feeling unsettled.

        "I know, right? They have been acting weird lately," Jimin replied, frustration lacing his voice.

          "It's like they have these walls up, and when we try to reach out, they just shut us out."

         "But when we ask them, they won't answer us." Jimin sighed, running a hand through his hair in exasperation, and both Rose and Bo Gum nodded their heads in agreement, their worried expressions mirroring his feelings.

        Bo Gum, who had been quietly observing their friends, finally broke the silence that hung heavily in the air.

        "if they want to tell us what the hell is going on with them, we'll be there for them and help; they have our backs. But if they just ignore us and pretend nothing happened, let them be. They'll tell us when they want," Bo Gum said.

        The four of them were sitting in their classroom, surrounded by a mix of lively chatter and the shuffle of students coming in and out, each lost in their own little world.

       Meanwhile, the four friends remained focused on the situation at hand, their eyes flickering to the back of the room where their absent friends sat, clearly distressed.
