3 months after Eun Byeol came back to US, BTS weren't the same anymore, especially the maknae line and Yoongi who are the most closest to her. However, the hyung line felt the same sadness and emptyness the lass left them with. There are times that ARMYs notices their sadness and sees the face they hid behind the professional mask.

Jimin, being the most sensitive one of them often shed tears at the most random of times. He randomly gets flashback of their memories together making his eyes to glisten with tears. Taehyung, however prefers to hide his emotions but there are times that his bottled up pain overfills and drips out of the bottle, ending up breaking down and his hyungs comforting him. Yoongi is kind of a mixture of the both, choosing to cry and breakdown when the others are either asleep or he's alone, wanting nothing but to not be a burden to his members.

Jungkook, however is the most wrecked member. He's emotions are transparent and everyone can see it. His doe eyes reflected with pain and disappointment. He lost his appetite, spending most of his time in the practice room and dancing as it makes him forget the pain even for a slight second. He would keep dancing until his body collapse and he can't stand anymore. This worry his hyungs so much, Jin had to practically pull Jungkook home and spoon feed him so he could make sure that he eats.

"Yah! Do you think Eun Byeol wants to see you not eating?! Stop mopping around! It's not like she's dead!"

"I miss her, hyung."

He tried calling her phone number a plenty of times already, sending a private message on her social media account and even sending her a gmail just so he could hear from her but nothing. It looks like she disappeared suddenly. Jungkook cannot help but to worry, What if something happens to her?

Or what if she got tired of you and she doesn't really like talking to you? She left you remember? his negative side will always counter but he doesn't believe it. He knows she doesn't want it. No matter what happens, he will always believe on her. He won't jump into conclusion without hearing her side and that's the reason why he keeps contacting her.

Currently inside their dance practice room, just when Hoseok called for a breaktime, he pulls his phone from his training bag, pushing the on button on the side. Eun Byeol's smiling picture greeted him. His lockscreen was the one he took when they hike a mountain in Hawaii.

He swiped the screen and enter his password, the date of their first meeting. He was greeted by another picture of Eun Byeol but this time, she was smiling widely to the point that her eyes turning into cresents in front of the camera, her fingers forming a V while Jungkook was pouting his lips. Their faces were beside each other, literally squashed together. It was one of the random moments that he couldn't ever forget.

"Byeol-ah, I realized we don't have any pictures together."

"I don't really like taking a picture. I'm ugly."

"But you took a picture with Jin hyung, Tae-hyung and Jimin hyung. It's unfair and no, you're not ugly! Don't say that!"

"Fine!"

"Let's use my phone!"

"Yah! Our cheeks are practically smushed together!"

"I know, it's cute! Smile!"

Jungkook smiled at the memory. He went to the gallery, scrolling through the album he created just for Eun Byeol. Tons of selca, candid photos, impromptu photos with them. Tons of memories that he doesn't want to let go.

"You're whipped, bro." Jin commented, sitting beside Jungkook and looking to the latter's phone screen.

"I know and I can't help it." he agreed, chuckling as he saw the mirror selca of him and Eun Byeol wearing animal print face masks. When Jungkook found out that the lass is obsessed with skin care, he would always force her to do it together, ending up being a routine for them.

"She'll come back. She wouldn't resist us for so long." Jin assured, patting the maknae's shoulder in comforting manner.

Jungkook was about to answer when Hoseok exclaimed, "Jungkook! Jungkook!" dashing towards Jungkook with a wide eyes and phone clutch in his hand.

He immediately shows the screen to Jungkook, whose doe eyes widen in surprise, love and anticipation. He snatches the phone from Hoseok, staring at the screen in front of him.

It was a picture of Eun Byeol, wearing a white off shoulder mesh dress, pearl necklace adorns her pale neck. Her dark hair was straightened and swept to the side. She was sitting on a bed, her left palm's resting on the bed as she slightly leans backward, her right hand holding tree different colors of tulips, red, white and variegated. Her pink lips slightly parted as her cold gaze pierces right at the camera.

Right at the top of her picture was the title written in bold letters.

Marié Gabriella has introduced their new face and she's not just an ordinary model. it says.

Jungkook scrolls down, reading the article below;

CEO and Fashion designer, Gabriella Cheon had introduced the new face of her brand and she immediately took the whole fashion industry with her innocent face and cold eyes. But who is she?

20 Years Old Silver Asphodel Cheon formally made her official debut in Fashion Industry as the new face of Marié Gabriella, a famous clothing brand that is known for their elegant and innocent looking dresses. Her innocent face suits the concept and style of the brand really well.

But the new model isn't just your ordinary model. She's actually the only daughter of divorced couple, Mrs. Gabriella Cheon and Mr. William Blackwood who owns one of the biggest airlines, hotels and resorts in US and has a couple branches of casino scattered around the world. Mr. Blackwood also owns and co-founding a promising private security agency named SIA.

There's no news about his father and his company but we can believe that she will be handling the Blackwood Corporation soon.

There's no further information about the new model and she refuses to do an interview. In a meanwhile, you can check the other photos posted by Marié Gabriella on their official site.
