I looked up to see tears flowing down his cheeks. Sitting up straight, I wiped them away with my hand. ❛I didn't know we had so much in common, Jungkook.❜
He turned to me and that's when I realized ── our faces were only inches apart.

My phone rang, its ringtone causing me to snap back from zoning out. I picked it up to see that the caller was Jin oppa.
"Rin?" He said as soon as I accepted the call.
"Yes?"
"I have to go to Ilsan with Namjoon right now."
"Why?" I asked him, surprised.
"His mother's ill, and he's really freaking out. He wants me to go to his home with him. Will you be okay with that?"
"Of course. Go."
"I didn't cook dinner, though. Do you think you can manage it tonight?"
"Yes, I can. Don't worry," I reassured him.
"Alright, I'll send you a text as soon as I get there. And I'll also inform you when we'll be returning."
"Okay, bye."
"Be careful, you've been acting weird lately. See you."
He ended the call. His last statement caught me off guard. I immediately realized the reason behind him thinking that. It happened just this morning.

"Oppa? Can I ask you something?"
"Sure, go on."
"Do you remember if I had any guy friend in middle school?"
"What?" He said, surprised at my question. "I don't remember you ever mentioning anyone."
"Oh, I see."
"Why do you ask?" He narrowed his eyes and looked at me carefully.
"No reason," I mumbled, trying to hide my nervousness.
"Weird," he muttered under his breath.
-
No wonder why he thinks I'm acting strange. I barely ever talked to anyone about any boy, let alone my brother.
"Ugh.. .my head aches like crazy right now," I muttered to myself.
It was probably due to the lack of sleep I had the night before, trying to connect dots about my past. The only conclusion I come to last night was that this young boy had to be someone suicidal whom I met in any of the three years of middle school.
It was getting scary now. I had already had several cups of coffee, I shouldn't still have a headache, right? And it was getting more and more severe. I decided to take a pill, and reached out for my bag to take one, when I realized - my bag wasn't there.
"No way." I tried to remember where it was.
I had been to Jungkook's office a few hours ago, but other than that, I had been in my desk all along. Usually, I'd have chatted with Taehyung a bit, but he took a leave today and weirdly enough - so did Jimin. Since I didn't know where Hyeri was at all, that left out only me, Minji and Jungkook in this floor.
