🐿️ Seokjin: I'm back. Boys... I bought some snacks back.

🐰Jungkook: Hyung. Awesome! Cool, there's ddeokbokki too. Anyway, who did you vote for?

🐿️ Seokjin: Don't you know, voting should be kept confidential.

🐿️ Seokjin: Yoongi, Hoseok and Namjoon is still not back?

🐰Jungkook: No... they are not back. Jimin and Taehyung went to PC-bang too. Now, all the ddeokbokki is all mine!

🐨Namjoon: We're back.

Jungkook is playing the video game on the bed. Seokjin is in a shower. Jimin and Taehyung, nowhere to be found.

🐴Hoseok: Jungkook ah, where's the rest?

🐰Jungkook: Jin Hyung is in the shower. The rest... don't know.

🐨 Namjoon: Didn't Yoongi Hyung went to the voting venue with you?

🐴Hoseok: We did. After that, he said he has some errands to run. That's why I called you for dinner together. That's weird, he's such a homebody. Where could he be away for so long?

The summer night of Seoul is filled with humid moisture, waiting for a heavy rain pour anytime soon. Yoongi is outside XXX building for the third time of the year. He is also unsure what is the rationale of doing it. He has not even seen her once, from all these waiting. Perhaps, that's why he can't even bring himself to give up. At least once, just let him see her once.

The sky starts to pour. He was about to take his leave. He saw a couple running towards the building. The guy, one hand holding an umbrella. The other arm wrapped on the girl's shoulder. The girl is holding to a pet carrier, with meowing sound coming out from it.

The two of them stopped outside the entrance of the building for some conversation. Not long, both of them entered the building.

Yoongi smirks coldly, as the rain is hitting hard on him.

Jihye prepared two cups of hot tea, and serve one to Taeho.

🦉Jihye: Sunbae, thanks a lot for helping me to rescue the kitty and send me back on this rainy weather. Now the kitten is in good hands, I will bring it to the vet tomorrow.

🐯Taeho: Are you going to keep the kitten?

🦉Jihye: You know that I always like cats. I don't think I would bear to leave it in the shelter. Now that I am staying on my own, I think it is the perfect time to have a companion at home.

🐯Taeho: So what are you going to name the kitten?

🦉Jihye: Emmm... he's all white. Seol-tang (Sugar).

After a while of silence,

🐯Taeho: What do you think about me?

🦉Jihye: Sunbae. I really just like you as a friend. No more than that.

🐯Taeho: Don't you need a human companion as well? I can be ...

🦉Jihye: Stop it. You're going to ruin our friendship if you persist. The rain has stopped, you should go.

🐨 Namjoon: I was thinking of changing the lyrics to this so it rhymes better. What do you think?

Slow rabbit: I think it's good.

Yoongi drenched, enter the studio. Totally ignore the two persons, grabbed a piece of scrap paper, sat down at the back of the couch, and start writing furiously.

Namjoon look at the obviously upset Yoongi and turn back to Slow rabbit and whisper;

"What's wrong with that Hyung?"

Slow rabbit looked at the drenched Yoongi, and also started filling up with lyrics on his notebook.

The tears that were flowing down my heart

With that strange feeling, I looked outside and it looks like my situation

The rain that falls like a melody makes everything seems andante

------

After five minutes of writing, Yoongi just threw the piece of scrap paper on the table and left the studio.

Namjoon picked it up and with Slow rabbit, they look at what Yoongi wrote.

Interviewer: Shall we start?

🦉Jihye: Ne~.

With the click on the button, the voice recorder's red light in on.

Interviewer: Once again, thank you for accepting the interview. Just a brief view of your achievements. Your current webtoon series trended number one for three months. What is more amazing is a large number of readers outside South Korea. That includes China, Japan, Thailand, Russia, and even Europe. Since then, your webtoon has been translated into various languages to meet foreign readers' needs. How do you feel about it?

🦉Jihye: I really never expected to receive so much love from the readers, much less to say to be known outside the domestic market.

Interviewer: What do you think, is the charm of your webtoon that captivates so many foreign readers?

🦉Jihye: Frankly speaking, the high school mystery thriller concept is pretty common in the webtoon and comic industry. Using the concept to speak about the underlying societal problem such as class system, school, and cyberbullying is not new too. I would say the twist to my content is through the eyes of feminists.

🦉Jihye: Gender inequality is deeply rooted in the South Korea culture that sometimes we would brush off discrimination against females easily. So the feminist concept may be new and refreshing for domestic readers, but it is more accepted and embraced in foreign cultures. This probably explains why I received so much love for the storyline.

Interviewer: So do you consider yourself a feminist? Where do you get the inspiration from?

🦉Jihye: Rather claiming myself to be a feminist, I advocate for gender equality and disapprove of gender stereotype. For inspiration, I love to watch foreign indie movies, read books about gender differences, and of course music as well.

Interviewer: Maybe you can share with us your favorite artist? Or a favorite movie.

🦉Jihye: Bangtansonyeondan (Bulletproof Boy Scouts) is my favorite boy group.

Interviewer: Oh, Kpop? I'm surprised.

🦉Jihye: Despite their idol identity, they actually write really good music.

Interviewer: Oh yes. Are you aware that one of the members in BTS likes your webtoon as well?

🦉Jihye: Yes. I heard one of the member Jungkook mentioned my webtoon. Because of him, the webtoon received a lot of attention.

Interviewer: So from then on, you started paying attention to their music?

🦉Jihye: No. I was their fan at a start. ARMY is the name of their fans. I follow then since pre-debut times.

Interviewer: Ahh~ BTS does seem to be quite popular recently. Who is your favorite member then?

🦉Jihye: Every member is talented. Although I adore the maknae line; Jungkook, Jimin, and V. But, my favorite is SUGA.

Interviewer: So when are we expecting a new webtoon series, and will it be a different concept?

🦉Jihye: I'm preparing right now. Hopefully, I can release it by before Chuseok (Korean New Year). As for the concept, let's keep it a secret first.

The interviewer clicks on the recording button again, to stop the recording.

Interviewer: Okay. Thank you for much for accepting the interview.

🦉Jihye: You're welcome. Thank you for asking me as well. I really look forward to the column.
