"Dahyun noona! Jiwoo noona!" Jungkook called as he ran off to both of the girls.

"Why do you look so happy, Jungkook?"

"Why would I not be happy? I've finally met you again, noona," Jungkook said as he smiled cheerfully, "by the way, did you receive the new year letters from me and the hyungs?"

"Yeah, we did," Jiwoo said, "but, there were only six of them. Did Taehyung not send us one?"

"Oh, really?" Jungkook asked as he turned to Jimin who was beside him all along.

"Hyung, did Taehyung hyung not send them the letter that we wrote together?" he asked to Jimin.

"I don't know, don't ask me. You're his roommate."

"But I wasn't with him during the Christmas-New Year break."

"So did I."

"Dahyun," Jiwoo said as she leaned onto Dahyun while raising her eyebrow.

Dahyun smiled sheepishly. "Well, I did receive one from him."

Jiwoo rolled her eyes playfully. "Tch, love birds."

"Where is Taehyung, by the way?" Dahyun asked.

"I'm not sure, but I did see him coming to this school earlier this morning," Jimin answered.

"He's not in his room?"

"When I arrived, his bag was on his bed and his desk was already messy, but I didn't see him there."

Dahyun furrowed her eyebrows as she thought, 'where the hell is that kid?'

"Yah, let's have breakfast together," Jiwoo said.

"But we've already eaten breakfast," Dahyun replied.

"We only ate toasts this morning." Jiwoo said as she whined. "Oh, c'mon. Jebal~"

"Fine, let's go."

"Woah, this is unusual," Jimin said.

"I agree," Jungkook said.

"The meals are different from the usual and they surprisingly taste good. Is the cafeteria ahjumma trying some new recipes?"

On the cafeteria table where they ate their meals, there were rice cakes, bowls of ramen, salads, bowls of mushroom soup, etc.

"But why do the rice cakes taste similar to Dahyun's?" Jiwoo asked.

"I knew the rice cakes taste familiar!" Jimin said.

"Dahyun noona, did you make these?" Jungkook asked.

"No, why would I?" Dahyun answered.

After they came up with some conclusions, they eventually gave up and ate their meals. A guy with an apron tied around his neck and his waist suddenly came to their table with a bright smile.

"Hi, guys! It's been so long!"

All of them, including Dahyun, widened their eyes as they saw the guy.
