"So, are you feeling better now?", Jimin asked, his cup of tea close to his lips as his eyes scanned every inch of Seulgi who was sitting in front of her. Seulgi nodded slowly and placed the cup back on the nightstand after she took a few sips.

"I am sorry, I just get really emotional lately since Joy is still missing", she sighed and looked around the room again. "Your room is really nice. Especially the colors", she smiled, thinking how yellow was her favorite color.

"Yellow is my favorite color", Jimin said and noticed the sparkles in Seulgi's eyes. "Mine, too", she breathed out. They looked at each other for a while before Jimin cleared his throat and put down his cup as well.

"By the way, I still wanted to ask you something. You called me about a red dress, what was that about?", Jimin asked, blinking softly.

Seulgi nodded and played with her fingers. "I received a package that day. And it had a little note in it. I thought it was you since the dress was the one we saw in the store." Seulgi shrugged, "It was stupid that I thought it was from you, sorry."

"What did the message say," Jimin frowned, his mind already forming a person.

"Uh, something like that the person wants to see me in that dress dancing? Oh, and it had the letter T at the end of the message!", Seulgi told him, her eyes glued to Jimin's frown. "Why, did something happen? Do you know that person?"

Jimin quickly shook his, putting on a fake smile. "No, don't worry. I just disliked the idea of someone sending you a dress when it should be me doing that." He bit his tongue when he realized what he had said. Seulgi chuckled awkwardly and shifted. "Jimin, uh thank you really for taking care of me, but can you bring me home now? I bet my grandpa is worried since I wasn't home for the night."

"Oh! Sure! Yes, sorry I totally forgot that. Granpa Kang must be worried", he stood and grabbed the tray with the empty cups, leaving for the kitchen. Seulgi sat on the bed still, confused about how Jimin knew about her full name when she never mentioned it.

She shook her head lightly, thinking that she probably has told him but can't remember now as she stood up to put on her socks that were on the ground. She then slowly followed Jimin out of the room.

Once they finally arrived at Seulgi's home, she turned around to face Jimin. He smiled at her, his hands stuffed in his pocket. "Thanks," Both of them said, followed by laughing.

"Why do you say thanks for?", Seulgi giggled, her eyes disappearing from smiling widely. Jimin tilted his head and shrugged. "I don't know, I just feel like. You know what Seulgi? It feels like I have known you for such a long time. I really like it."

Seulgi gulped, feeling her cheeks heating up. "Y-Yeah, me too. As if we have met before", she drifted off in thoughts. Jimin reached out and held her hand gently, Seulgi quickly looking down at their hands. "Seulgi, if something happens, if you get any news from Joy - call me immediately okay? I will be looking around for her too. I already asked a couple of friends of mine and we will be looking out for her."

The girl nodded when she saw the sincere smile Jimin had when he talked about Joy. "I will. Thank you.  You don't know how much this means to me."

"Seulgi, I-"

"Seulgi!", Grandpa Kang interrupted Jimin and both turned their heads to the house, Seulgi quickly pulling her hand away making Jimin smile bitterly.

"I'm coming, Grandpa!", she turned to Jimin and smiled. "See you later", she breathed out and quickly pecked his cheek before she ran back inside of their house where her grandpa was already waiting.

Jimin blinked dumbfounded and looked at her disappearing into the house. He turned on his heel, walking the street back up to his house. His aura changed into a serious one, and he fished his phone from his pocket, dialing a number.  "Hobi, send me your location. I am coming to see Sooyoung."
