Ji Hee stared at Jae Eun who was daydreaming in their workplace. She became silent since she got back from the hospital yesterday. She even got back to the store without Jimin. She knew something had happened but she still didn't know if she should ask her or not.

Jae Eun often turned to the door, but then she shook her head and slapped her cheek several times like she's telling herself to snap out of it, Jimin isn't gonna come.

It was confusing as to why she actually waited for him to come. She wanted him to not bother to come to the store and she got her wish. But after yesterday, she's not sure with that.

"Mind telling me what happened?" Ji Hee couldn't help but ask. Jae Eun turned to her and she knew what she was talking about.

"Nothing actually. I'm just tired," she lied then both of them greeted the customer that just came into the store.

"Come on. We live under the same roof and you think I couldn't tell when you're lying?" Jae Eun shrugged at Ji Hee making her rolled her eyes, "it's about Jimin, isn't it? He's not coming today?" Ji Hee asked.

"No, in fact he's not gonna come ever again," Jae Eun sighed hard like she was disappointed at herself.

"Isn't that what you want?"

"Yeah, it was. Now? Not so sure," Jae Eun shook her head.

"Don't worry, if he really cares, he'll comeback," Ji Hee patted Jae Eun's back.

"Um, don't say that like we're in somekind of an affair," Jae Eun was the one who rolled her eyes now.

― THE DAY BEFORE ―

"Thank you for your help. I'll get going now," Jae Eun spoke to Jin just after she went back from the rooftop.

"You're welcome. Jimin, you're not gonna say goodbye to Jae Eun?" Jin said to Jimin who was sitting on the couch with Hoseok and Jungkook. Jimin just glanced at Jae Eun and waved his hand a bit before glancing back at the tv in front of him.

Jin realized what's going on and he turned to Jae Eun again, "are you guys fine?" he asked lowly. Jae Eun looked at the tall guy and then smiled and nodded. Even though he didn't believe her, Jin just smiled back, "okay, take care, Jae Eun. Don't forget next week, okay?"

"Yes, I will remember that. Thank you, Jin-ssi," Jae Eun bowed politely, "I'll see you― um, goodbye, guys!" she said to the others and the others said bye back except for Jimin who just stared at her with no expression.

"You're leaving now? Aw, come again sometimes, okay?" Taehyung approached her and gave a quick hug.

Jimin who saw it, shifted uncomfortably on his seat as he turned to the tv again. Taehyung stopped hugging her then Jae Eun left the house.

Jimin looked down. He felt so bad she got Jae Eun in trouble. Her life was in danger because of him. She got injured because of him. She should've just let her be after they robbed the convenience store together.

He sighed then closed his eyes and leaned his head back on the couch.

It's his fault. Everything.

He was worried about her and it went on until the next day. His friends noticed the change of Jimin's behaviour and it worried them.

Hoseok went to him and gave a pat on his shoulder making him turned to Hoseok and smiled when Hoseok smiled at him.

"You're okay?" he asked.

"Yeah, I'm okay. I'll go out for a bit, hyung. Probably will be back here before we go to meet Mr. Choi," Jimin spoke to Hoseok and he nodded at him.
