YOONA - - -

“He’s infuriating! He talks to me like I’m not older than him! Ugh, the nerve of that little creep.”

I knew the moment I woke up this morning, that it would be a beautiful day. I loved my husband and our friends were gathered with us on a sunny day. I laughed, shaking my head as I patted Yuri’s arm. “Minho doesn’t seem so little to me, Yul. He’s actually almost Changmin’s height.”

Yuri was given Changmin’s position in MacShim after their non-wedding day. I’ve heard from my sources (Changmin’s dad) that her work was impeccable and spot on. She was strict and strong in her opinions – it was so unlike the cute and cheerful Yuri I have coffee with every weekend. Six months ago she needed a partner for a project and Changmin had recommended a young associate named Lee Minho.  They don’t get along very well and heads every time we invited them for dinner.

“Oh you know what I mean! I’m going to be alone forever. Sooyoung has Donghae, Yeonhee has Kibum and you have Changmin-oppa. It’s not fair!” Yuri complained, flinging her arms on my lap and faked sobbing.

Sooyoung laughed from her seat. “Don’t worry, Yul. It’ll be okay. I mean look at Yoong, she waited it out and it turned all right for her.” Donghae nodded, patting her head comfortingly while his girlfriend leaned back against him. The two had gotten together just two months ago, after I got them to take each other as dates for one of MacShim’s parties. They’ve been inseparable since!

Yuri pouted at their display of affection.

“Why did I have to end up with a child? I’m the noona here. He shouldn’t be so annoying.”

“So he’s kinda like you used to be, huh?” Changmin remarked, earning a slap on his arm from Yuri and from me. “Ow! I was kidding!”

“But you love him, don’t you?” I reasoned, raising an eyebrow. Changmin and I burst out laughing when we heard her murmur an incoherent ‘Yes’ as she buried her face into her hands. “Aww, that’s so sweet Yul!” w
