"Okay, wait," Brianna said as she lied in Jungkook's lap, filling her mouth with popcorn as the two of them watched 'Smile' in the living room, "So she's seeing this thing, right? But no one else can see it?" Jungkook hummed in agreement as he reached over her to grab a handful of popcorn as well. "So it's basically that one 'Truth or Dare' movie?" She implied, the boy chuckling a little as he chewed before nodding.

"Well sort of," He responded, going to grab another handful, "The difference here though is that not only can others not see it, but she can honestly ignore the demon since it's truly a figment of her imagination. In truth or dare if they ignored it, they were murdered."

"Okay, then why not just ignore it?" Brianna asked, wincing as she watched another nasty jump-scare appear on the screen, "I mean, since that's all they have to do."

Jungkook chuckled, tilting his head a little before looking down at her, "If you saw a bunch of strangers staring and smiling at you, while basically telling you yourself gonna die soon, you think you could ignore that?" Brianna thought about it for a moment before shrugging, "I, personally, can do anything," She retorted playfully, going behind her back to grab her phone that suddenly began to ring.

"Yeah, right," Jungkook said playfully, watching the girl get her phone before turning away. As Brianna brought the dimly lit screen to her face, she showed a small smile as Leiya's display name crossed her screen. "It's Leiya," Brianna said with a chipper grin, having not heard from the girl in what felt like days, but it was only really a day.

Jungkook paused the movie, adjusting beneath the girl as she answered the Facetime call, the both of them looking into the screen to see Leiya making a silly face in the screen, but immediately going back to neutral after realizing it wasn't just Brianna on the phone.

"Hi to you too YaYa," Jungkook said mockingly, the girl rolling her eyes. "You motherfuckers can never be separated?" Leiya joked, rummaging in something nearby as she spoke, "I can't even call my friend without your ass in the back. I could've called her booty butt naked just now."

"You guys do that?" Jungkook asked, looking between the two girls, but Brianna just ignored him in avoidance. "Hey bookie butt, how are you?" Brianna asked, Jungkook narrowing his eyes at her as he rubbed his hand through her braids, twisting singular curls around his finger, "You said you were gonna come see me when you landed, and apparently you have, yet I haven't seen you and it's nine at night. You lying to me now?"

"Girl hush," Leiya said with a light chuckle at her friend's playfulness, "I'm actually about to swing by and grab you in a bit, you know, if Jungkook's cool with that." Brianna looked up at Jungkook, the boy rolling his eyes playfully before looking at the phone.

"You have your own girlfriend, man," Jungkook joked, "Go spend time with her."

"I did already, hence why I'm coming to y'all so late," Leiya said, winking at the screen as she sat the phone up on her island counter top, "You think Mariam would let that shit fly? She'd kill me." Jungkook nodded with a seemingly knowing expression before looking down at Brianna.
