"Oppa, you'll come right?" Sooyoung asked me with a friendly smile. "You can spend Christmas with us. You know that father likes you a lot. Also, Jessica and Taeyonnie will visit, too."

"How about him?" I asked all of a sudden.

"Ey, of course he'll come!" She poked my right cheek teasingly. "You don't have to be awkward around him. He's nice."

"Tsss, you won't like him if he's not." I faked a smile.

She chuckled. Today is December 23. SM practice rooms has been packed with every artist for a brief celebration of Christmas.   "I should be spending Christmas Eve with my family, not yours." And your boyfriend, idiot.

"Tssss. Okay!" She pouted. She looked around and saw Taeyeon drawing near us. "Taeyeonnie, I have to go now. Mom would need help for preparing for tomorrow. Promise me you would come, eo?"

I didn't hear what Taeyeon said anymore since I, also, started moving to a more unusual spot. Frustrations. I get frustrated every time she turns her back at me without saying goodbye, or anything at all. Since when did we become this far? Since when did I become this far from her? She's close yet so far.

I felt my phone vibrate in my pocket.
