"Scoot over Seulgi!" I squirmed as I was
overpowered by my extra clingy friend.

"Oh shut up Jihyeon. Please. You just dragged me along so you could spy on Taehyung. Correct? Correct." Seulgi sighed, shifting back into her seat slowly.

I ate my popcorn and shook my head quickly.

"God, I hate you." The tall, dark haired girl exclaimed.

I chuckled as the lights dimmed out, signaling
that the movie was about to start.

"Jihyeon, this is a bad -"

"Sh!" Someone turned around and scolded us.

As soon as the person turned back around, Seulgi turned her head in the person's direction. She
sighed heavily as she gave them a variety of dirty looks.

I hit her arm and got ahold of her body, turning
her back around.

"That movie was terrible, wasn't it?" Seulgi yawned as we both exited the theater.

I took a couple glances around the hallways, searching for Tae and his girlfriend but they were
nowhere to be found.

"Jihyeon!"

I stumbled back a bit and sighed, turning around to face Seulgi.

"I gotta stop doing this, don't I Seulgi?"

"Jihyeon." She looked at me sympathetically, and
I looked down at the carpet. Always scared to make eye contact, I played with my fingers.

"How could I be so ignorant and stupid? What am
I thinking? He's never gonna see me differently. I mean, his girlfriend is breathtaking. I'm nothing compared to her. I'm literally like a fucking sister to him aren't I?" I placed my hands in my pockets, scared of the conversation I was having.

"A sister to who?"

Seulgi's eyes widen and I turn around nervously.

"What are you doing here Jihyeon? I thought you said you two were going shopping, not to the movies dummy." Taehyung said as he took a sip of his drink and snuck his arm around his girlfriend's waist.

"H-hi Jiwon." I waved shyly.

"Hey Jihyeon. Hi Seulgi." She gave us a forced
smile, not really interested.

"I love your shirt, it's very uh.. sparkly." Seulgi
barely let the words escape her mouth, almost gagging when she mentioned the word sparkly.

"Thank you." Jiwon chuckled and flipped her hair over her shoulder.

"And to answer your question, Tae, I wasn't really
in the mood to go shopping. Plus, you know I'm not really fond of it. I still wanted to spend time with Seulgi so I just dragged her to the movies instead." I ranted as I linked arms with the girl next to me.

"Is that true?" Taehyung asked, rasing his eyebrow.

"Yessir. We're going shopping tomorrow so no more questions please Mr. Kim."  Seulgi insisted.

"Is Yoongi going too?" The wavy haired boy asked curiously, almost in a jealous way.

"No idiot. We're getting gifts for all the guys." Seulgi yawned, obviously bored with the conversation. "I also said no more questions."

An awkward silence begins to make its appearance and all of us just stand there, looking around the room.

"Jihyeon, can I actually.. talk to you? In private please" Taehyung grabs my arm, dragging me into the corner of the theater.

There I stood. Trying not to cover myself with spiderwebs as I was trapped in the dusty wall of
the 63 year old movie theater.

"Today marks a year since Jungkook died. Are you okay? I just wanted to check in." He asked in a
very concerned tone.

I hesitated, unsure of what to say. Was I okay?
I tried to be, that's for sure. I missed him. That
was something I couldn't deny. I never got a letter.
I never got an explanation. I never got the chance
for closure. So no, I wasn't okay.

"I'm fine dude. Some days are weird but I'll be fine." I urged, knowing he wouldn't buy it since he was
the person who knew me the most.

"I believe you." He lifted my chin, making eye contact with me.

"Well, I gotta go. Don't wanna keep Seulgi out too late." I chuckled and removed his hand from my face, scared his overly greedy girlfriend would notice.

"Oh, of course. I don't wanna hold you guys up."
He looked down at the ground with a look of embarrassment on his neutral skin toned face.

"Have a great rest of your date! See you soon." I waved off and grabbed Seulgi by the arm, yanking her outside.

"Jihyeon, you have to tell him." Seulgi persisted as she wrapped her arm around mine.

"No, he's happy. If he's happy, so am I."
