A sigh of relief escapes Chaeyoung's mouth when she finally sees the ending credits showing that the movie has ended there. Jungkook who is beside her the whole time giggles at her action making her turns to him with a glare on her face. He stops giggling and says sorry in case she feels offended.

"That movie is scary, okay? You can laugh at it?", she asks him as she closes the movie and turns to the normal TV channel.

"It's not...scary enough..for me. Please don't be mad.", he replies while looking at her changing one channel to another looking for something interesting to watch. "Are you mad...Chaeyoung?", he asks as he does not receive a reply from her.

She stops changing the channel and chooses to watch National Geographic of all other channels on the TV. Then, she puts down the controller beside her and looks at Jungkook.

"I'm not mad at you. In fact, I'm thankful to you. If you're not here, I don't think I can watch that movie.", she says to him.

The movie title is Z and it is about a boy who has an imaginary friend that terrorized his family. It is a horror mystery movie which is Chaeyoung's favourite genre to watch. But, she really cannot watch those kinds of movies alone.

"What you mean by you can't watch the movie, Chae?", Jungkook asks curiously.

"Well, these kinds of movies tend to trigger my alters to appear.", Chaeyoung answers. "That boy being an outcast at school and have some weird behaviour in him reminds me of myself. I was somewhat similar to him if you want to know. So...my alter which is Rosé could appear out of nowhere and might do something stupid later on. Jisoo unnie and Jin oppa don't allow me to watch these kind of movies when I'm alone.", she adds with a little preview to her life in the past.

Jungkook nods slowly knowing that she is telling him something that is personal to herself.

"Rosie could be triggered too.", Chaeyoung continues.

"Rosie too?", he asks since he knows Rosie is known to be a cute, bubbly kid unlike Rosé who is tough and intimidating lady.

Chaeyoung nods, "She has imaginary friend like the boy."

Once again, Jungkook nods as he slowly gets to know more information about her alters. He really wants to know about them much more but he still is hesitant on asking her. He is worried if she is not willing to share about them to him.

"Chae...", he stops when he hears her phone is ringing.

"I'm sorry, Jungkook.", she excuses herself to answer the call which Jungkook sees a man's name on the screen. It is not Seokjin's name that he saw on the screen.

A smile crept on Junhoe's face when his call is answered with the sweet voice of Chaeyoung on the other end. He is still holding the tickets he just got from Youngbae with a high hope to hear a 'yes' from her. When she asks why he calls her, he clears his throat before he proceeds to ask her something.

"I have two tickets of Peninsula, the sequel to Train to Busan. Would you like to go watch it with me?", he asks her.

"Oh...it's that zombie movie, is it?", Chaeyoung asks him back as she looks at his house through her room window.

"Yeah, the tickets are for tomorrow night. Are you free, Chaeyoung?", he still tries his luck.

"Umm...I think no, June. I'm sorry but I have work to do and need to submit on Tuesday morning.", she declines as she remembers that she has designing work that needs to be done within two days.
