SPLIT (COMPLETED)

good to see you're alright

As usual, Chaeyoung will watch Jisoo leaving the house to go to work with Seokjin and get back inside to continue to sleep. That is how her routine is on a Saturday morning except when she has to go to the convenience store to buy some food for the week. So, today she walks to the store to get some food and walks back after half an hour to see the house next to hers seem to be getting a new owner now.

The house has been vacant for more than a year after the family that lived there moved to the States. She wonders who the person that bought that house because it is pretty big and has many rooms as she recalled. She used to be a friend to the previous owner's daughter and played at the treehouse in their backyard.

"This new neighbour must be rich.", she says as she walks in to the gate of her house.

Jungkook checks his phone for a while when he arrives at the training camp that morning. He is waiting for Chaeyoung's message after he informed her that he cannot see her today for he has a match later evening. He has told her that he will bring the cats to her house for the weekend but he cannot do that now.

Chaeyoung: That's okay, Jungkook. I understand you have to train for the match later evening. I'll see you tomorrow maybe. 🤗

He smiles seeing the message she just sent to him.

Chaeyoung: Good luck on the match later! Hwaiting! 🤞🏻

Another message just came in and it is from Chaeyoung again. His smile goes wider seeing her wish with the fingers crossed emoji. For a girl who is hard to approach, she seems to be more open with him now. The way she always have emojis in her messages make him wonder if she does it to everyone in her contacts or just to him.

"Damn, why am I thinking about this?", he mumbles before his shoulder is patted by someone.

"Oh, Sanghun hyung. Annyeong.", he greets the goalkeeper that just arrived with a smile while putting his phone back in his jacket.

"Ready for the match?", Sanghun asks as they both walk inside the changing room.

Jungkook nods, "Always ready, hyung."

Chaeyoung looks again at the calendar and back to the trending topic in the online news portal, NowNews. There is an article about the match that Jungkook's team will have today and the title is 'JK to have an advance birthday present if his team wins today!'.

"It's his birthday tomorrow.", she goes on to read the article to the end and finds out that tomorrow is 1st of September. It is also Jungkook's 25th birthday as the article said.

"Should I get something for him?", she asks herself thinking that he might come tomorrow to her house if he is free. If he does and she acts like she does not know about his birthday, surely it will hurt him. "I'll just look for it online.", she thinks of buying a gift online for him so she starts to search for what he might like through his Instagram account and other sources on the internet.

Jisoo is surprised when Chaeyoung sent her a message telling that she is going out to the mall alone. She tries to call Seokjin when Chaeyoung does not answer her call. Then, she asks him if he is free to check on Chaeyoung at the mall they usually go together.

"I don't think I can go, Jisoo. I have a stakeout now.", he tells her from the other end.

Jisoo sighs as she looks briefly at her watch, "I can't leave the cafe too. If I go there now, I will be late to come back here. Mrs Hwang will scold me if she knows I come back late from lunch."
