"Do you see that star?", whispered Jimin, pointing his finger towards the brightest star in the sky.
"Please don't say anything cheesy...", said Claire teasingly. "Because I know I'd like it way too much."
"Then I'd better quickly come up with somet...
It took Claire and Mingi a long time to recover from shock. It is not every day you find out one of your friends might possibly be carrying a creature in her stomach, its father unknown, no previous warning. And there is a significant moment when it just... hits you. - You are what?!? - they both yelled in unison. - I told you! I think I am... - Seoyeon started repeating herself. Mingi pressed both of her hands over her head and walked in circles around the room. Claire knew she needs to keep a steady, focused mind in order to help Seoyeon. - Ok, let's not lose our heads... What do you mean by saying "I think I'm pregnant"? - she asked. In the meantime Mingi came back and walked straight to Seoyeon. - How could you let this happen?! - she screamed at her. - You don't just get... involved with strangers! And you know what, Miss? Your drinking days are over! Claire sighed and tried to silence her, but she just continued to shoot words from her mouth. It was a scary experience, since somebody as little and cute like her was impossible to imagine this angry. - I don't care! You need to face your problems, for God's sake! You know what?! You are an ADDICT. Alcho- - Okay, okay, that's enough... -Claire interrupted and separated Mingi from the brokenhearted Seoyeon. Her eyes were filled with tears and Claire has never seen her this upset.

Perhaps... Baby hormones? - Let's not jump to conclusions. Seoyeon, what makes you think you're pregnant? - she asked. - Well... My period is late... - she said. - How late? - 4 weeks. - she spat out. Damn it. - What about other symptomes? - I've been throwing up a lot this week... - she admitted. Claire continued to ask her about the symptomes, getting more and more frightened with every information she got. It really seemed like she was right.... Mingi, on the other hand, simply sat down and didn't take her eyes off Seoyeon. Her gaze was sharp as if she wanted to slice her with it. She seemed outrageous, but really, she was just worried about her friend.
And also, a tiny part of her was wondering... Why did she decide to talk to Claire about this first?
- We can fix this... - Claire mumbled. - You need to get a pregnancy test. Immediately. Seoyeon covered her face with her hands. - I am scared... Scared of the result... - We are here for you. - Claire said, patting her shoulder. - You have no other choice right now. - I know... - she said, her voice muffled. Mingi suddenly got up and went to the bathroom without a word. Seoyeon and Claire just stared at her in confusion. Am I a bad person?, she thought, looking at her pale face in the mirror. My best friend is hurt and in trouble, yet I can't stop feeling... Betrayed. Am I selfish? Do I believe my happiness is more important than hers?

- You should really talk to her. Claire told me she is genuinely upset... - Jimin told Suga, who was sitting on his bed, staring at the empty space before him. Jimin sighed. Suha didn't move the whole day, which was usually normal, but now it freaked him out. He didn't do anything, literally anything - he didn't talk to anyone, put his earbuds on, write in his magical notebook for writing lyrics, eat and, most importantly, sleep. He was already tired and sleep-deprived, but Min Yoongi, Agust D, Suga, didn't sleep.
