"wait, my mom's calling me", lara says, standing up from the couch and heading up to her room. I keep myself busy, waiting for megan's return.

"kavi~", yoonchae greets me, taking a seat next to me on the couch. "yoonchae~", I match her tone, while chuckling a little.

"how're you?", she asks.

"I'm alright, you?"

"I'm alright. you wanna watch a movie?", she asks, scrolling through different streaming platforms. "yeah, sure"

"how about this", she asks.

"looks good", I agree, relaxing into the couch. a while, of yoonchae and I watching tv, goes by when the front door opens. "I'm back!", megan announces, struggling with the bags in her hands.

I, quickly, walk to her and help her out, taking some of the bags in her hands. "thanks", she says, lowly, but she doesn't look at me. she continues to the kitchen, only really smiling when she sees the other girls.

my eyebrow raises in confusion but I brush it off as soon as I feel it. I place the bags, in my own hands, down on the kitchen island. megan busies herself by talking to the other girls, basically ignoring me.

I take that as my cue to go back to the couch. taking my seat, yoonchae looks up at me, "are you okay?"

"yeah, I'm fine", I give her a small smile.

eventually, the other girls finish cooking and we get our plates. "do you always cook?", I ask sophia as we all gather around, in the living room.

"when I feel like it, which is a lot of the time", she chuckles, making me chuckle as well. "well, that's great because this is amazing, as always", I tell her, bringing a fork full of rice to my ready mouth.

"thank you", she smiles brightly. we all keep ourselves busy with our own conversations for a while, until we're done eating.

"movie?", dani suggests. we agree.

a random chick-flik starts playing, when I realize that megan's been, basically, ignoring me for the past 45 minutes.

I know we said we'd make it look like I was just here to hang out with lara and them but I didn't think that would mean she'd avoid me the whole time.

I decide to change the situation and move to where she's sitting, which is across from where I am, on an empty couch. "hey", I greet, draping my arm over her shoulders.

"hey", she says back, her own arms crossed over her chest. "you good?", I ask her, in a hushed tone so that I don't make noise for the rest.

"yeah"

"well, you don't seem good"

she remains silent for a short while.

"I'm good", she says, making me sigh. "megan, come on. talk to me, please", I plead, looking at the side of her head, "what's going on?"

"nothing's going on", she keeps facing the tv, not giving me any attention.

"no, we just got better", I take her hand and walk up to her room with her following behind. I know the other girls might find it weird how we're just disappearing out of nowhere but I don't care, I need to talk to her.
