Kim Sejin.

D-4, 9th October 2017.

If there was anyone that didn't get a bit of what was happening right now, that would him Sejin. Since he wasn't always with the boys, he was so confused with what was happening right now. Not saying that the other boys understood what was happening to begin with. He didn't know what to do as he watch Yoongi left the table first. Followed by Jimin, then Hoseok, then Taehyung and then Jungkook. The only once that stayed was himself, Seokjin and Namjoon. He had to just watch the boys leave one by one with no explanation. The three of them remained quiet, Seokjin was drinking his drink while Namjoon was just playing with his fingers. Sejin let out a huge sigh before he got up and went to the cashier to pay for their dinner that was left untouched. They barely even started their dinner and all of these had to happen. After paying, he slightly bowed to the owner of the shop, also known as the ahjumma that Jimin wanted to meet so bad, apologizing for the mess that had just happened. After he had apologized, he walked towards the table and without speaking, he just used his hand to tap the table and pointed his finger to the door, asking them to leave the restaurant with him as he went out first. The two boys then followed out after him as they three of them went back to the truck. He got into the driver seat, as if he was responsible for driving the boys since he couldn't possibly ask Seokjin to drive the truck, especially when Seokjin was mad from the argument he had with Hoseok just now. And so, after the boys got into the truck, Sejin begin driving, as they went out of the alley, heading to the toll gate out of Busan and was going to travel all the way back to Goyang-si right now.

Two-third through the drive, Sejin could feel his muscles on his feet beginning to tense since he has been continuously pressing on the accelerator and break continuously for the past 3 hours. It'll take him around another hour to reach back to Goyang-si and he didn't know what to do. Sejin was still confused, he had so many questions and on top of that, he was going to get a cramp anytime right now. And despite this many things he was going through at the moment, he still chose to keep quiet, not wanting to utter a word, asking the two boys anything. He also wanted to ask Seokjin to help take over the truck but he didn't dare to say anything and that was when he realised that he was close to a rest stop so he decided to go to the rest stop, going for a toilet break so he could give his feet some oxygen to breathe in after being trapped under the wheels for 3 hours straight.

They finally reached back to Goyang-si and the three of them still had yet to utter a word to each other. He parked at an empty space, the same place he parked just yesterday to pick the boys up. Neither could he believe that their trip would end this soon. The three of them went out of the car and without Sejin saying anything to them, they naturally went to the back of the truck as they each equally picked up the things that the other boys left behind and the things that they brought for the trip. The three of them then silently walked back to their house in the container and Namjoon went to open the door for them since he had the key. After the three of them went inside, the three of them place the bags on the floor as they unpack it and place things back where they originally belong. There were some parts where Sejin wasn't sure where to put but Namjoon goes by his side, correcting his wrongs and soon enough, they were done with their work.

"Alright boys, I'll go first before I have to pay a fine for parking at an unauthorised area. Stay safe," Sejin told the boys as he went out to wear his shoes as he left the container just like that, not knowing whatever happened between the both of them in the container alone. And just like that, his questions remained unanswered, he still remained clueless and now, a year has passed just like that.

It has been a year and now, he was back at his work in the bath house just like how he had always been. He didn't know what happened to the boys, if they had met up with each other or was they separated. He didn't know what happened between Seokjin and Namjoon either. However, he did wonder, if the both of them did stay there, why weren't any of them coming here to the bath house to wash up like how they used to? Did they leave? Or were they going to the other bath house that was slightly further than the one he was working at? Why were they doing that? Were they avoiding him? Was there even a 'they'? Was there even anyone? He didn't know.

"Hello? Hello??" he jumped out of his thoughts when he heard someone's voice, calling out for him and the person's hands was waving right in front of his face. He shook his head as he quickly stood up from his seat and said greeted the person, "Welcome to Goyang-si Bath House, for how many people?"

The person looked confused as Sejin went to take a good look at the person. It was a man who was wearing a helmet and was in the outfit deliverymen normally wears. A deliveryman? He lowered his head in embarrassment when he decided to just smile and admit to his mistake.

"Ah, sorry. I was blanking out back there," he said as he scratches the back of his neck from the awkwardness before he continued, "what brings you here?"

"I asked just now if there is a person by the name of Kim Sejin here," the deliveryman repeated himself and Sejin raised his hand, "that's me".

"Here," the deliveryman said as he passed Sejin a parcel which Sejin just accepted it without thinking much. After so, the delivery man said, "Have a good day sir," before he left the shop.

Sejin was confused. He was positive he didn't buy anything so he went to the staff room for a while to ask the other colleagues if they had bought anything and sending it here, using his name but none of them said they did and Sejin remained confused. He went back out to sit by the counter as he placed the parcel on the table. Realising there wasn't as much customers right now, he decided to go open the parcel and see what was inside. Maybe the person gave the parcel to the wrong address. He looked at the sticker where the address was written on and he noticed there wasn't any address under the sender's description box. He took the scissors by the stationery box they had for when they have to do the paperwork, and he ripped the tape, opening the parcel. Inside, he saw different shades of blue that almost seemed to blind his eyes for a second. He took the different boxes of different sizes out of the parcel and he realised all of them were from the same brand. He then saw there was something else inside the box, it's back looked like what seemed to be the back of a polaroid and the first thing he noticed was the word that was written on it.

"집?" he said the word out loud. House? What was that supposed to mean? What house? His house? Perhaps, the boys' house?

He turned the polaroid around and he saw a photo of himself, the photo that Taehyung helped to take for him when they were by the beach at Busan last year. Why did he suddenly receive this? Did one of them sent it to him? Was someone finally going to do something and fix this? The word 'house' was still lingering in his mind for what it could possibly mean. Maybe the boys' house? Was that it? Did they finally gather back there? Were they asking him to come back there? Maybe he should go and visit that place for a while, just in case it was what it really meant. He placed the polaroid down as he went back to the boxes. They were in different shades of blue and as he read the words on the boxes, he realised that it was a set. A set of Bath Soap. Shampoo and Lotion of the same scent. In the other box, it was a perfume, of a different scent this time and lastly, the smallest box consists of a set of hand creams. He was positive that this brand costed tons, did they buy this for him? He wasn't sure.

"Hello. Paying for two please," he heard a customer's voice. He quickly stood up from his seat and kept everything back in the box, "please give me a while".

10pm.

He finally finished his shift as he changed back to his clothes before he greeted the other colleagues, with the box in his hand and out he went from the shop. His steps were light as he walked back to the boys' house in the container. He was positive that they were all waiting for him. He was really happy that things was going to be okay again. Finally. As he walked closer and closer to the container, he realised that it was rather quiet than usual, and the door of the container was locked, the windows were closed. He was beggining to doubt. Are they here? Are they really? He wasn't sure now. He stood right in front of the door, on the stairs and he was just about to knock the door when the door suddenly opened, revealing Seokjin in a tee shirt and boxers.

"Sejin hyung?"

Was this part of the plan?
