[Chekov hasn't so much as heard from Korra since the nineteenth when Naga died at the hands of the monster-that-was-Hei that came perilously close to killing Lucy. He had looked for her at the Welcome Center; going to the Beach House had seemed... too desperate, almost, because he's always the one seeking her out to talk about things.
And the monster ordeal needs to be talked about. Both Chekov and Lucy came close to dying that night and, had Korra come with him like he had asked, it wouldn't have been such a one-sided fight. Although he understands her connection to Naga and the need to grieve, that was not the time. Any of his other friends--Sulu, Ginny, Harry--would have set their feelings aside long enough to fight with him. They wouldn't have let him go after a monster alone.
Being friends with Korra involves a lot of being alone. Chekov hadn't realized that until he had a decent number of other friends, but now, in retrospect, their friendship seems remarkably one-sided. He was always the one to apologize or offer comfort when someone left the City. It was always him.
The final straw was the balloon curse. Chekov had needed friends on that day more than any other day in the City and Korra hadn't been around.
He deserves better. Maybe he is being selfish, but Chekov's other friends give as much as they take and he doesn't want to continue nursing along an ailing friendship that's all taking. It's with this thought in mind that he approaches the Beach House, looking for Korra and Naga.]
