“Jess, did you see the picture I uploaded on Instagram?”

“I did, but why did you have to choose THAT picture of us? Gosh, that was so embarrassing! Hey, stop giggling! It’s seriously not funny!”

“But, it was. Did you see those picture comparisons of us? I totally cracked up when they used our past and present photos.”

“Yah! Stop laughing!”

“Hehe. Why not, Jess? Admit it, I’m taller than you now and you look more like a dongsaeng despite our .”

“Hey, I’m still THE UNNIE. I’m still older and yet I can still be in a picture with you and not look old. It’s good enough to look ever so youthful, don’t you think?”

“Pssh. You’re seriously going with that excuse again. Just like Taeyeon-unnie. Oh well, I’d have to admit, you do look young and we look a lot like each other now, Jess. By the way, is being timeless a Girls’ Generation thing now? I mean you all look so young, the nine of you. You guys could still stand next to the new groups and still look like same aged debutant artists.”

“Hahaha! Well, I’m not sure whether it’s a SoShi thing or not, but if you put it that way, I guess I’m fine with it. Uh, did you just see those JungSis jokes our fans have been pulling off?”

“Oh my gosh, hahaha! Of course! I totally laughed at their silly jokes about your overly happy and excited expression in our pictures. God, they were right, you were squeezing the life out of me back then, Jessie. Like, seriously!”

“…”

“Jessie, I can totally imagine you pouting now. Please stop that.”

“But… Whittle Kwistal ish making fun of me…”

“Hey, unnniiieee~ Stop. Like, really.”

“Waeee?”

“Stop that, please. And I’m sorry. Gosh, I can’t really stand your aegyo voice. So please, spare me?”

“Okay. Hehehe. You better bring me a present when you get back home, Krys.”

“But I don’t know how long I’ll be staying here in New Zealand. We barely had the time to relax and shop here.”

“Then, I won’t bring you some hitsumabushi fresh from Nagoya. It’ll only spoil if you’re not coming home.”

“Jessie, unnie… our manager just told us that we’ll be back home before your birthday. I’ll try to grab some souvenirs for you and mom and dad before we head to the airport.”

“Really? Oh…Wait…”

“Unnie?”

“Oh, hold on, Krys.”

“…”

“Hey Krys, you still there?”

“Yes. What was it, Jessie? Where are you at, anyway?”

“Oh. We’re in the middle of a break, before we continue with our rehearsals here. Yoona just asked who I’m talking to, on the phone.”

“Say hi to Yoona-unnie for me!”

“Okay, sweetie. Hey! Yoona-yah! Krystal said ‘hi!’ Oh...Yoong said hello and she’s asking if you could buy her some souvenirs, too, from New Zealand. And… Tiffany just signaled me to include her as well. I think you’ll need a list, Krys. The girls are beginning to crowd me right now and they’re all asking for something from New Zealand.”   

“Aigoo. Unnies, I’m not a gift shop! How will I manage to drag all those presents back home?”

“Oh, uh, Tiff said not to worry. She suggested that you have them shipped to our dorm or to the apartment we’re currently residing in, if you don’t want to bring them along… And Seo-baby said, if it isn’t too much of a trouble, they’ll pay for the excesses on your luggage.”   

“Uh, Jessie, why do you have to have nine members? I’m going to be bankrupt here with all the requests.”

“Oh, uhm, you’re actually on speaker now, Krys, so all of us could hear you…”

“What?! Yah! Jessie!”

“Hahaha! Krys! It’s Tiff! How’s New Zealand? Did ya find some hot guys? You should totally introduce me to some. And please, ask for their numbers for me…”

“Soojung-ah! Can you buy me some plushies the
