[Yuri’s point of view]

I seemed to be smiling the moment I woke up. We planned to get wedding dresses for Sunny and Hyoyeon today. We have been talking about boyfriends and marriages and whatnot for so many years. And now, two of us are already married, I’m one of them, and two of them are getting married soon. Time passes really fast, isn’t it? The music player in my car was playing our songs again, as usual. Sometimes I don’t even believe how long it has been since we first started out. We were so young and fresh, and then most unexpectedly, we made quite a success and continued for 10 long years. Eventually, we disbanded, even though we once said we would never separate. Honestly, it was a bittersweet feeling. We are all still as close as ever, even though we have some obvious pairs who are closer to each other than the others. Many times, images of our past stages flash across my mind and I find myself wanting to be back on stage with those exact 8 other girls. But again, it was heartwarming to see them settling down one by one. That’s why, it’s really a love-hate feeling we’re all having, I believe.

I was driving smoothly when a honk behind me startled me. Feeling absurd since I didn’t do anything wrong, I looked into the rear mirror to see what caused it. Turns out, it was Sunny. I broke into a wide smile the moment I saw her puffing her cheeks and smiling. I raised my hand to acknowledge that I had already seen her. We reached the place after a while. While we were parking, my phone rang.

*Phone call – 수영이 (Sooyoungie)*

Yuri: “어 수영아 왜? (Eo Sooyoung ah why?)”

Sooyoung: “어디야? (Where are you?)”

Yuri: “주차장. 넌? (Carpark. You?)”

Sooyoung: “이미 여기 있어. 효연이도. 둘이 빨리 와. (I’m already here. Hyoyeonie too. Come quickly you two.)”

Yuri: “어~ (Eo~)“

“Helloooooo!” I greeted Sooyoung and Hyoyeon. “왜 이케 늦게 와? (Why are you girls this late?)” Sooyoung looked a little frustrated. “미안… 교통 체증 때문에… 미안.  (Sorry… There was a traffic jam… Sorry.)” Sooyoung didn’t like people being late so I was actually a little guilty. “됐어. 자 얘들아 let’s go! (Forget it. Ja girls let’s go!)” Sooyoung let the matter slip and we started helping the girls choose their wedding dresses.

Hyoyeon: “이게 예쁘네… (This is pretty…)”

Yuri: “에이… so-so. 이게 어때? (Aish… so-so. How’s this?)”

Hyoyeon: “내 스타일이 아닌데… (It’s not my style…)”

Yuri: “그래? 괜찮은데… (Really? It looks fine…)”

Sunny: “와 귀여워! (Wa cute!)”

Sooyoung: “어! 근데 그게 더 예뻐. 천사처럼. (Eo! But that’s prettier.)”

Sunny: “이게야? (This?)”

Sooyoung: “음! (Mm!)”

Sunny: “진짜네. 난 이게 좋아해 ㅎㅎㅎ (You’re right. I like this hahaha.)”

Hyoyeon: “얘들아 이게 어때? 유리가 이게 so-so다고 (Girls how’s this? Yuri said this is so-so)”
Sunny: “음… 다른것 있어? (Mm… Do you have any other dress?)”

Sooyoung: “그래 있어? (Yeah do you?)”

Yuri: “진짜 so-so… (It’s really so-so…)”

Hyoyeon: “이게이게 (This this)”

Sooyoung: “음… 또 다른것? (Mm… Another one?)”

Sunny: “음… (Mm…)”

Hyoyeon: “헐… 이게? (Heol… This?)”

Sooyoung: “좀… 음… (It’s a little… Mm…)”

Yuri: “야. 이게 예쁘다고. (Ya. I said this is prettier.) *Swinging the dress I picked*”

Sunny: “ㅎㅎ 효연아 미안하지만 유리의 말이 맞아… (Haha Hyoyeon ah I’m sorry but Yuri is right…)”

Sooyoung: “나도 그래… (I think so too…)”
Hyoyeon: “헐… (Heol…)”

Yuri: “거 봐! 말했잖아. (See! I told you.)”

Hyoyeon: “아니 근데… (No but…)”

“Hi 얘들아! (Hi kids!)” We were initially so into our discussion when a familiar voice interrupted us.

Sunny: “태연아! (Taeyeon ah!)” *smiles*

Taeyeon: “Yep!” *smiles back*

Yuri: “왔어? (You’re here.)”
Taeyeon: “Yep. 어떻게 됐어? (Yep. How did it go?)”

Hyoyeon: “태연아 이게 안 예뻐? (Taeyeon ah this isn’t pretty?)”

Taeyeon: “어…? 뭐… 괜찮은데 그냥… 뭐… (Eo…? Erm… It’s okay just that…erm…)”

Yuri: “태연아 이게 예쁘지? 효연이랑 잘 어울려. 얘가 날 안 믿어 정말… (Taeyeon ah this is pretty right?
