(Back in North Korea)
Supreme Leader was on his way to his office after a meeting with his delegates. And as soon as he opened the door, his daughter was there. He stood there in front of the door as he try to catch her attention but she didn't bat him an eye.
"Ha Rim, what are you doing out of the house?" Supreme Leader Ha Yun was worried at the sight of his daughter in wheelchair as her upper body is still dressed with bandages. Ha Rim can't stand up due to lost of balance in her back and legs. The gunshot wounds aren't completely healed over three weeks and it breaks his heart as the father to see her in that state.
Instead of being inside her room, Ha Rim kept on searching for suspects in the last attack. She's worried that more people might be more involve because of them. The worst thing she can think of is another attack will happen while she is gone.
"Father, there's tons record here about them" Ha Rim kept her focus on the articles and reports about the people she suspects on attacking them. "This is more serious than I thought" she missed her breath for a second.
"Hak Young is there" Supreme Leader Ha Yun immediately cut her off from further discussion. "Yi Ha Rim" he called firmly enough that made her put the papers down.
"I won't" Ha Rim reassured him that she won't do anything. She understood how she made her father worried and she's the only person he have. She can't take that away from him. But Ha Rim is just as worried for the people that might get involve in this situation.
Supreme Leader Ha Yun felt at ease and walk towards her daughter. He loosened his tie and sat in his chair.
"Father, I'll rest for a week. I won't bother you or pick up these records. I just have two conditions" she looked up to him and he start to massage his temples with his eyes closed. 'It's coming' he thought. "What is it?" he ask and massage more slowly as he listen to Ha Rim.
"The first condition is" she began. 'It's here..it's coming' he kept on thinking that she will wish to do what he clearly just go against. "to let my comrades visit me in the house. The same people I've met when I was training" she smiled.
"You're not planning anything?" he opened his eyes and peered at her. "No, of course not. I just want to ask them about what they've been up to, when I was gone." she smiled and Supreme Leader Ha Yun is still unconvinced.
"okay. What's the second one?" He let the first one pass. "Let me go back to the South after one week." Ha Rim is determined to go back.

(In South Korea, same time)
"Thank you for coming!" Jungkook smiled widely at the crowd after the concert.
"We love you!" Taehyung shouted and they all laughed before giving the crowd a deep bow.
They all went back stage. "You did a great job, Jungkook" Namjoon praised him. After a week in their world tour, he adjusted with fireworks and people again.
"You're doing great" Yoongi smiled on the side.
In their room backstage, all their girlfriends were waiting for them.
"CONGRATULATIONS!!" they shouted and smiled widely. The boys were happy to see each of them.
"You didn't have to surprise me" Jimin smiled at Ra- Hee who pinched his arm. " If I didn't, you'll get mad at me for sure. So I did it anyway" she teased and Jimin laughed at how true it was.
"This cake is really good. I picked it up at the local bakery and ordered one more for us to eat alone" Lily giggled and Jin looked at her in fake disappointment " How can you be just like me? That's so unfair" he smiled.
"Yoongi, you're the best" Ran hugged Yoongi warmly which he returned immediately.
"Hoseok, let's video chat your mom and dad. They've been waiting for you" Jane pulled Hoseok's arm towards her and started the video.
"I took care of your girlfriend and your son at the same time" Honey pushed Taehyung's girlfriend towards him and Yeontan happily jumped as his parents hugged each other.
"Are you tired?" Namjoon asked Honey, worried. "Of course not. Come here for a hug" She smiled and Namjoon smiled as well.
In the midst of the festive atmosphere, two people were stuck in the corner. With awkwardness sorounding them.
"Hey, how are you doing?" Chong-A asked Jungkook who's currently seating on the couch.
"I'm doing great." he smiled and grab the teddy bear Ha Rim gave him.
"I heard you weren't feeling well back in Korea" she continued asking as she eye the stuff toy.
"Yeah. I fell sick but I'm all good" he reassured her and somehow Chong-A felt uneasy at how Jungkook is comfortable in talking to her after their break-up.
"Jungkook" she called. He turn his head to face her and pay attention.
"Do you love her more than you loved me?" she asked, tears started to pool her eyes.
Jungkook stopped at that moment, realized that he have broken up with his 3-year-girlfriend.
But his emotions for their break-up was covered in the pile of his trauma and stress he's been through for the past weeks.
He couldn't answer. He couldn't recall how much he loved her. There's no space left in his troubled mind and heart for this kind of thing.
Chong-A walked away feeling upset and left Jungkook fiddle with the bear. He walked to the nearest table quietly and rest his head in the bear's stomach.
The audio played when the bear was squished and Jungkook closed his eyes. At this moment, he felt lonely. No one can feel the emotions he's in right now.
"You're stronger than what you think, right now. And when I come back, I don't want to see you crying. Smile for the people who love you. Smile and be happy for South Korea as I do the same"
Jungkook mimic the words as he have memorized them for days. The audio ended and he fell asleep right after the last word.
