Your POV

I rang the bell to Hobi's home, and he opened the door.

"You're here? Go sit. Breakfast is almost ready." He smiled, and I smiled back.

Strangely somehow he convinced me to have breakfast with him every morning. When I told him how I don't even eat breakfast and that I'm a pretty light eater, he scolded me saying breakfast is the most important meal of the day.
I went and sat on the kitchen counter chair as he went in to cook the eggs.

I stared at him as he transferred everything onto the plates and wondered why after all these years he came back. I thought he never would. Honestly I thought he'd hate me for stopping our email conversations, and in the end I feared that if he did come back, he'd be too disgusted to stay with me. But he did nothing of the sort; he showed me the same warmth he used to back in school. But what I'm happy about is how we're getting along. He sure has a very comforting aura. I don't open up to just anyone, so I guess he's different. I took a deep sigh as he came over with the plates.

"Why? Why are you sighing?" he asked.

"Oh, it’s nothing. Let's eat." I picked up the spoon to eat, and he nodded, following my actions. Midway I glanced at him. Is he like this because he still doesn't know . . .? I chewed my food slowly. I hope he never finds out.

After we finished our food, Hoseok grabbed his things and left first. He always leaves first; he has an early job. I sighed. Come to think of it, I never asked what his job is. Actually I didn't ask anything about him. Should I? But what will I do when he asks back?

I remembered I got a message early in the morning from Jonas, and it was to all the members.

"Meeting."

Well he wasn't a man of many words anyway. I decided to go back to the house and grab some stuff including my phone. When I reached the door and turned the knob, it was locked again. I pursed my lips as I tried holding in my anger. Just why does this women get on my nerves so much? Well fuck this. I don't need anything anyway.

We were now at the final phase of the planning. I reached the meeting point, but I couldn't see Leo. Now that he's not here, whom should I sit with? I quickly looked around and found an empty spot next to Yoongi. He's a sniper the gang hired, and he rarely ever speaks. He's a good choice. I went and sat with him. The meeting continued, and Jonas briefed everything. The final attack was going to be on Saturday at 3 A.M.

Right. I should ready myself. I need the money, and I don't care if what I'm doing is wrong. I began walking back home when I realized that Leo hadn't shown up at all. That's weird. He's always at the meeting. Should I go over to him? But if I go over to him and then go back, it'll be night again. I'll just go home. But wait. I've been locked out.

Damn it. Then . . . I'll just go to the internet cafe and do my work. Wait I don't have money with me. Well fuck me . . . Is Lyra really my only option? I shook my head. No! Not her. She's so annoying. I'll just borrow Hobi's lappy.

Hobi's lappy . . . I'm getting his virus. It annoyed me, but somehow it also brought a smile to my face. I went back to his house and borrowed his laptop for work. This time I finished by 7, and as I was leaving, I was reminded of something.

"Oh, right. I have to go see my brother tomorrow. I won't be able to come for breakfast."

I looked around. How do I tell him that? He hasn't come home yet. I'll just write down an excuse. Taking a paper and a marker I wrote:

I have some urgent business in the morning so I won't be coming for breakfast.

I placed the paper on the counter and ran home, just in time when mother opened the door. She glared at me as I ran into the house. It’s too bad for her, but I'll sleep in my room tonight. I was tired, so I went straight to bed, not bothering to look at anything.
