Happy Easter to those that celebrate it! I'm going to get my 2nd covid vaccine this afternoon, so I wanted to publish a couple chapters. I felt so awful after the 1st one, so I'm sure I'll be down for a couple days! I hope you're all doing well, and thank you for reading my story!!

~~~~~Jimin

It was painful to watch Haerin scream at Naeun Noona yesterday. She seemed so different when she first walked over. There was a confidence, bordering on cocky, when she questioned what was happening. We were all surprised to see her, and I couldn't quite wrap my head around the voice she was using.

Haerin had always been soft spoken, almost shy. But this woman, wrapped in a sexy red dress was anything but shy. She was angry, and her voice was loud and deep. The lost look on Jeongguk's face was alot to handle. He'd just found out he is a father, and was still processing that, when she showed up, expressing only rage at his presence.

When he tried to get some information about what she was talking about, she suddenly seemed weak. I'm glad Jeongguk acted fast, or she would have face planted. So many questions are swimming through my head, but there are no answers. We went back to that tiny apartment, and she didn't wake up at all.

When Hobi Hyung and I got home, we talked about what happened, but it just caused more questions. Who was the man Ye-Jun was talking about? Where was he? Why was Haerin working in that club? What's wrong with Mi-Hi? There are a million more things I want answered, but it hurts my brain, and my heart, thinking about the 5 years that have clearly changed my best friend drastically.

When Jeongguk didn't come back last night, or even this morning, the Hyungs became worried. Hobi Hyung and I didn't say much because it's for Jeongguk to share. I hope he was able to speak to Haerin about things, and not have to face the angry version we saw first. Naeun Noona is holding alot back, and I wish she'd let us help. I know we screwed up, and hurt Haerin, but we're here now, trying to help. Hopefully it's not too late.

"Jimin-ssi... Jungkook is home finally."

Taehyung pops his face into my room to let me know. I get up and head to the living room where everyone is seated. Jeongguk looks beat, but he just sits on the chair waiting for the inquisition. He knows that when he disappears like that, it upsets the Hyungs, especially Jin Hyung. Jin has helped him more than anyone else, and supports him unconditionally. Because of this, when Jeongguk keeps things to himself, or disappears, Jin takes it the hardest.

"Where were you Kookie-ah?"

"Ummm... I was with Haerin, Jin Hyung."

"What?!? You found her?!? How? Where?"

"Well... It's alot to tell..."

"We're listening... Is she living is Seoul? Did she get married?"

"Hyung... Please... "

"Sorry... I'm just curious. It's been a long time that you were looking... And my guy not being able to find her... She's married isn't she?"

"No Hyung... She's not married."

"So you guys spent the night together? That's good then... Are you back together?"

"Oh my God! Please stop it Hyung!"

Jin Hyung looks upset when Jeongguk gets irritated. Namjoon Hyung steps in, and tries to calm everyone.

"Jungkook... We were worried... To hear you were with her, makes us happy. But can you tell us why you don't seem like it's a good thing that you found her?"
