Yoo Ah Ra's P.O.V

I finished setting the table for dinner while Somi unnie and Noah were busy in the kitchen. My mind wandered as I realized I hadn't seen Jungkook all day. Where was that bunny hiding?

Somi: "I barely see Jungkook these days."

Her words made Noah glance up curiously.

Noah: "Really? What's wrong? Did something happen?"

Somi: /sighs/

Somi: "I don't know. He never acts like this. It's strange."

Me: "Do you think he's sick?"

Somi: "Who knows? That boy is so stubborn. He'd never admit it even if he were. He just doesn't want us to worry."

Somi: "But doesn't he realize we're already worried?"

Somi: /sighs/

Noah: "Exactly. He's usually the first one at the dinner table. It's not like him to miss meals."

I couldn't help but feel a pang of concern. Did something happen? Or was he... upset with me? How he acted last night felt off, but I couldn't figure out why.

I decided to look for him, but Jungkook walked into the kitchen before I could leave. My heart sank when I saw his blank expression.

Somi: "Jungkook-ah! Where have you been? Are you okay, baby? Dinner is ready—come sit down."

Jungkook: "I'm sorry, noona. I'm skipping dinner tonight."

Noah: "Hey, bruh. What's wrong? You okay?"

Jungkook: "I'm fine, bruh. I just need to finish my game. See you guys later."

He flashed a faint smile to them and walked away, leaving the kitchen. Something wasn't right, and my chest tightened with worry.

Without thinking, I followed him down the hallway. My mind raced for the right words to say, but before I could find them, Jungkook stopped and turned around, catching me off guard.

Jungkook: "What's wrong? Why are you following me?"

I took a deep breath, trying to steady my nerves.

Me: "Are you mad at me?"

He sighed, his expression hardening.
