Day 4 - 11:45 PM

/ V: Zai, it's you. /

/ V: How are you holding up so far? I realize that I might have been somewhat hasty in inviting you to join the RFA, but the opportunity of being able to host parties again was too great to pass up. /

/ Zai: I'm good, thank you for asking. I appreciate you looking out for me. /

/ V: It's my responsibility to make sure you're doing well, but besides that, I came to announce the date for the party. /

/ Zai: Oh, already? /

Of course, she'd already known he would tell her the date today, same as every other time.

/ V: Yes, I thought it would be best to start small since it's your first party. /

Thinking back to the dozens of guests she'd already invited, as well as the many parties she'd hosted in her previous routes, Zai stifled a laugh.

/ Zai: That's very considerate of you. /

/ V: You don't think you'll be overwhelmed? /

/ Zai: I have the other members of the RFA helping me out, so I'm not worried. /

/ V: That's good. Families should rely on each other. It isn't good to do everything on your own. /

/ Zai: Do you consider the RFA to be your family, V? /

/ V: Yes. I consider every member of the RFA to be a part of my family. It's why I hope that you'll take good care of them for me. /

/ Zai: Why? Are you planning on going somewhere? /

/ V: Perhaps. /

Every time V had vanished, Zai was just as concerned as the others over his whereabouts. However, there was always one who worried more than the others.

/ Zai: Jumin will be sad to have missed you. You should stay until after the party so you can help us with preparations! /

/ V: I'm sure that the other members will provide you with enough assistance. /

/ Zai: Maybe, but from what I've heard, you've been quite distant from them recently. I feel like it would have a more positive effect on them if you stayed. /

/ V: ...I have been neglecting my duties more often than not these past months. You might be right. /

/ V: But this is an important trip, and I'm not sure if I can postpone it. /

/ Zai: Then maybe we should hold off on the party until we're sure you can attend. /

/ V: You're... quite determined to get me to stay, aren't you? /

/ Zai: Very! /

/ V: Alright, then. I didn't have anything planned except for the trip so I suppose I'll have to ask Jumin if I can stay with him for the time being. /

/ Zai: Nice! I can't wait to plan this party with you, V. I feel like it'll be one of the best ever. /

/ V: You're quite confident. I have faith in you. Talk to you soon, Zai. /

/ Zai: Later, V! /

V has left the chat room.
