"Because the dawn right before the sun rises is the darkest."

It's been 2 days since the note.

2 days since I've seen Mina or any of her minions.

2 days of trying to get the thought of that letter out of my head.

I couldn't focus much on my school work. Actually, it was hard to focus on anything at all. The following night after I found the letter, I kept tossing and turning in my sleep, trying to figure out why Mina had said what she said. There had to be a meaning.

At least Jungkook had been able to keep me distracted for a bit, but even with him, the situation had to be brought up.

"So, let me get this straight. She left a letter in your locker?" I heard him laughing through the phone. "That's so childish. You'd think she know how to act mature."

"Well apparently not. The thing that confused me most though was what was written on the letter."

"What did it say?"

"Something about a hungry dog not being loyal. I don't exactly remember, I threw the paper away."

He kept saying the phrase over and over again in a low voice but not low enough where I couldn't make out the words.

"Interesting." I finally heard him say. "You sure you don't have a boyfriend?"

"I've been in your car. You've taken me out to eat. Yeah, Kookoo, I definitely have a boyfriend."

"Hey! Just because you go out with another guy doesn't mean there's not a possibility you have a boyfriend."

"Yeah, I don't think my boyfriend would exactly approve of that."

"Wait. So you do have a boyfriend?"

I'm really glad he wasn't next to me in person, otherwise I would have probably thrown him the most annoyed look ever.

"Yah! You didn't let me finish. I was going to say 'if I ever get one'. Besides, I'm sure you wouldn't like it either if you had a girlfriend who spent time hanging out with other guys."

"Actually, I wouldn't mind. I'm not that overprotective."

"Is that so? I'd bet on that."

"Fine, let's make a bet then. You set the statement since it was your idea."

"Okay, I bet that when your next girlfriend decides she wants to hang out with another guy that isn't you, you'll be triggered by it."

"Okay and the wager?"

"If you do get triggered, you have to give me something I want. If you don't, then I have to give you something you want."

A hmm left his lips before he responded. "Fair enough. You better get ready to buy me a new Bluetooth speaker, roach."

I scoffed. "Not if I can help it. Anyways, how come you asked that?"

"Asked what?"

"If I'm sure that I have a boyfriend, silly."

"Oh, that. I was asking because it seems to me that the letter Mina wrote had something to do with someone that you may have a close bond with that she assumes is loyal to you, hence the note she wrote. She could be trying to sabotage some relationship you have but I doubt she'd do it if it was about another female. So I was thinking it would have to be about a boy but I could be wrong. You never know what to expect from you females nowadays."
