"I'm home!" I yelled to absolutely no one, as I entering my forgotten and lonely house before sighing.

"Yeah, good to see you too, work was terrible." I muttered heading to the living room, to see Namjoon asleep on the couch, his glasses lopsided on his face and papers scattered around him.

"Namjoon. Joonㅡah. . ." I shook him slightly, wondering why he had been up so late at night.

Taking a paper from his lap, I glanced at my best friend, before looking back at the paper.

It was another one of Hoseok's files. Why is he looking through them? I thought we all told each other not to worry about it.

It had all of his information. His birthday, his age, height, background, even the case report when he was missing.

"Joonie, wake up!" He flicked his head, causing him to jolt up and yell.

"Grey! That hurt!" He sighed, rubbing his head and pulling his glasses from his face.

I set the paper down, avoiding his gaze, just thinking.

Just thinking about all the mistakes I made because of Hoseok, how much I really loved him platonically, how important he was to all of us.

How did he change? How did he just suddenly lose himself somewhere and couldn't find his way back? He tried, he tried, but that darkness lured him back in and he struggled, and cried for help.

Why didn't see the signs before?

He was punishing himself in a horrific physical way, just because of his mistakes that weren't his fault. He was just scared, so scared.

"What are you thinking about?" Namjoon asked, placing his hand on mine.

I turned to him quickly, before a lie I strongly regretted spilled from my mouth,

"Getting a dog."

-

"We're really doing this?" I whined, as Namjoon and Miniu pulled me into the shelter, where dogs of all breeds happily barked.

"C'mon! I thought you liked dogs," Miniu said, giving me a smile.

"I do, I just. . ."

"Min is right. Besides, it'll be good for you! You've been really sad lately, and I know, I miss the boys too. And probably because of the whole thing with Hoseok," Namjoon said, walking up to an older lady feeding a labrador.

All I did was nod, looking down as a few puppies cornered my legs, before I crouched down. "You're all so adorable! But to be honest, I think I'd like a boy,"

"Probably because you hang around them all the time." Miniu snorted, earning a smack on her forearm.

"Agh, you be quiet." I muttered, before reaching my hand out to the runt ㅡ I supposed ㅡ from a litter of pups that was backed into the corner, drinking.

"Hey. . . Boy?" I made sure, before he scurried over to Namjoon's feet.

"You're so cute~" Seeing the older boy picking him up made my heart melt, especially when the dog licked the end of his chin.

"He really is, but are you sure I should do this?" I took the small dog from Namjoon's arms, scratching behind his ears as I looked up at him.

"You should, he'd make great company, you loner." Miniu commented, looking around.

I smirked, before saying, "This isn't really important, but your name kind of sounds like how you say 'bitch' in Japanese. . . Just sayin',"

Her eyes widened, before she pouted. "That was really mean yet stupid, Grey, I thought you loved me."

Meanwhile, Namjoon was dying with laughter, grinning at his sister as she glared.

"Yeah, I think I'll pick you." I said quietly to the dog, his cuteness making me think he and Jimin would get along well.

"All you need to do is sign some adoptions papers, and you're free to go." The lady smiled, handing me a clipboard as I set the dog down.

It seems as though things were getting slightly happier, because I wasn't feeling so down now.

Christmas was less than a month away, then I could see the boys again, and maybe even convince them to meet Jimin or something.

My bombarded thoughts of Hoseok could wait, for now.
