jihyo does not report to work the next day with the excuse of being sick. yoongi knows it really isn't the reason why, but he does not text or call her— fully knowing that the reason is simply him.

yoongi slumps on his office chair, feeling unmotivated on going through the day. he sighs before standing up and grabbing his coat, making his way out of the office.

the workers just followed him with the eyes due curiosity, once he was out of sight they had started gossiping.

"woah. he just got here and he's leaving again. what's up?" one said. some of them shrugged. "maybe he had to meet kim jennie." another replied.

mina also wonders for a moment. jihyo isn't here, and he's going somewhere just a few minutes after his arrival.

mina pondered deeply until momo snapped a finger in front of her. "hey hey. you alright?" mina shakes her head. "yeah, i'm fine."

she smiles at momo before glancing at the door one last time, her focus going back to the monitor and the files that she needs to submit later in the day.

jihyo groans as her alarm clock rings for the third time. she got up on her first alarm to tell mina she won't be going to work today, ignored her second alarm, and finally got up at the third.

she drags her feet to the bathroom, a warm shower would be nice to drown your sorrow.

after half an hour of zoning out, and ten minutes of actual bathing, she got out of the shower.

jihyo glanced at the mirror, her eyes looking very puffy. she grimaces at how horrible she looks because of all the crying last night.

she plans on staying in for the day, not really in the mood to do anything. she orders food for brunch, and lazily flops on the sofa while switching the channels of the tv.

all channels seemed to have romance movies showing. jihyo scoffs, are they trying to tell her something? she switches channels until she's done and angrily presses the power button.

luckily, the doorbell rang.

"good morn-" she intended on greeting the delivery guy first, just like she always does. except for this one.

jihyo closes the door in a hurry.

"this isn't the delivery guy." jihyo whispers to herself. she shuts her eyes and pinches her nose bridge. "oh god." she can sense a headache incoming.

the doorbell is rung again, and jihyo's trying too hard to compose herself before opening the door a little.

she peeks out only to see the person she wanted to avoid today just a step outside her house. "errr, i believe i called in sick today?" she asks timidly.

"yeah? but you look fine." he retorts, making jihyo press her lips together. yoongi sighs, "is it because of-"

"no it's not!" jihyo slams the door shut one more time before retreating to her room. she ignored all of his calls and headed straight to the bedroom.

the girl bites her nails while thinking of something. and an idea came to her mind. she reaches for her phone and dials a number.

"hello?"

"jaebum! can you please do me a favor?"

yoongi has been staring at jihyo's door for half an hour. he'd knock occasionally, but he knows jihyo will eventually go out.
