JAE'S POV
(translated)

12:32PM KST

I can't deny that everything still feels fake. I have transcended into a person I wouldn't have ever known only a few months ago. Overall, it is a bizarre feeling. I feel like I've lost and found my identity all at the same time.

I mean— I climbed into a car with Jungkook and Jimin as if it isn't a big deal. It isn't one. I'm going to have to get used to that.

Looking out the tinted windows and seeing what's surrounding me almost feels like a dream. I take out my phone and record some clips that could possibly be used for some form of a video and try not to dwell on the surrealism of it all. I'm in South Korea. The home of my heritage, and my boyfriend.

I glance at Jungkook who is sitting next to me. He's been acting strange since we left the recording studio, and I can't help but think it's because he's regretting the fun we had. He keeps dodging my eyes and using his phone as an escape route.

I turn my head more and Jimin is lounging in the back seat. He has just locked his phone and we make eye contact. He stares at me with some knowing smile that I can't quite decipher. I shift my legs to face him fully.

Jungkook's head darts up from his phone at my movement.

"What's wrong?" I frown at him.

He looks at Jimin and then me. I'm still staring at him expectingly but for some reason he has become shy again. His rounded eyes look so innocent and he gives me a blank expression.

Jimin reaches his hand over to Jungkook and squeezes his shoulder, "He's embarrassed of me."

"Hyung—"

"I get it, I get it. I'm just too Korean for your American relationship."

"What does that mean?" I let out a confused laugh.

"He's just being annoying," Jungkook says.

It should be jokingly, but instead his eyes are digging into Jimin's soul. The two share another expression with each other and suddenly I feel out of the loop. Jimin is smiling smugly to himself.

I'm relieved when the car stops in the parking lot of a massive apartment complex. I can't say I love the feeling of the hot, summer air against my skin once I step out, but I'm glad that conversation has ended.

It's been only seconds but yet my skin is already perspiring. I'm going to look so ugly, and Jungkook is going to have to witness it. Oh boy.

I glance around the setting of their home life and notice the remarkable security measures instilled in the place. It's so calm and collected here. I wish I was living lavish like so.

I must seem intimidated by what I'm witnessing, because Jungkook grabs ahold of my hand.

I mentally note that Jimin is walking ahead of us, and now my boyfriend is acting like his usual, clingy and attentive self.

Interesting.

"I am so hungry," I grumble. I lean into Jungkook slightly.
