After a few moments, Yoongi and Namjoonie joined us at the table, completing the full ulzzang group. Jin had also asked the fans to let everyone eat comfortably so the crowd had cleared out but some sat close by to spectate secretly.


"Jungkookie's really handsome though," Namjoonie said, smiling and acknowledging Jungkook as he ate. 


"Ay~ he's not as handsome as me though," Jin said, placing a v-like gesture under his chin with his thumb and index finger.

They all laughed at Jin's outright confidence and prideful comment, joking about his pose.


"That's right," Hobi said, chuckling. "Our Jin hyung is worldwide handsome man~"


Jin basked in his handsome glory with a look that said "of course". 


After a moment, he turned towards me as I stared blankly at something in the distance.


"Jiminie, why aren't you eating?" Jin asked, looking at my plate and frowning.


I looked down at my food, only noticing now that I hadn't taken a single bite and instead kept mixing the bibimbap endlessly. 


"Ah, I'm not really hungry today hyung," I replied, offering a small smile to show that I was fine.


Am I fine?


But then again, why wouldn't I be? Why am I being like this anyway?


"You have to eat to grow stronger though," he said, eyeing me with concern. "If you're not hungry, you can pack some for later and eat then."


I nodded and he returned to the conversation the others were in, filling the table with laughter for the rest of the meal.


As everyone finished their food and got up to put away the used trays for cleaning, I watched as Jungkook followed, smiling widely with them as if he were already familiar with everyone. 


As if... he belonged with them.


A feeling of dread filled me. Dread....


And envy?


Is that what it is?
