Birthday Gift
Psychological Love
Eunji unlocked the door to her large house, closing it behind her as she walked in. "I'm home," she called out, a small smile forming on her lips as she chuckled to herself. It was a stupid thing she did whenever she got home. A sort of dark joke. Slipping off her shoes, she made her way up the stairs to her room, passing several empty rooms along the way. Eunji had desperately wanted to move somewhere else. The large, empty house wasn't exactly a nice place to live in by yourself, and anyway, it was sort of creepy at night. But of course, her parents refused, and she was stuck living in the house by herself. Eunji's parents had lived with her until she was twelve. They had been nice, caring parents, and had brought Eunji up to be a polite, and proper person. Her parents had told her one day that she would have to live alone from then on, and it had broken Eunji's heart. The first few months had been the hardest, as both fear and loneliness constantly assailed her. After school started, Eunji had met Bomi, making her forget about all of her woes, focusing on how to befriend the cold girl. So, in a sense, the two had found each other at their worst points in life. Eunji was brought out of her thoughts when her phone gave a ring. She grabbed her phone an unlocked it.

Eunji felt a bitter smile tug at the corner of her lips. She hadn't expected much anyway. It was always the same thing, empty words on a screen. She tossed her phone onto her bed and tried to ignore the pain in her heart. Suddenly, the doorbell rang and Eunji immediately stood up. Was her gift here already? She quickly made her way down the stairs and with a heavy heart, opened the door and froze. A goddess-like girl was standing at her door. Long, black hair made it's way in waves down her shoulders, complimenting a small, and undeniably beautiful face. And her body was to die for. Eunji just stared open-mouthed at the girl in front of her.
"Hello. You're Jung Eunji, right?" Eunji snapped out of her thoughts and then did the first thing that came into her mind. She slammed the door shut. What the hell? A muffled ring sounded from upstairs, and Eunji ran up the stairs and unlocked her phone.

Did you meet her? She's a daughter of one of my colleagues. She's one year younger than you, so I expect you to take good care of her. I know how lonely you are by yourself, so I thought that this would be a good idea. Happy birthday baby.

Had her parents gone insane? Was this some kind of joke? After collecting herself, Eunji went back downstairs and opened the door again to see the girl still standing in front of the door, a calm expression on her face. The girl had two suitcases beside her, and when Eunji opened the door, she straightened up. "I'm...sorry for my actions earlier. I wasn't expecting...a person," Eunji apologized, her proper choice of words slipping out instead of her usual vocabulary.
"No, it's okay, I understand," the girl said, the smallest of smiles gracing her lips. "My name is Son Naeun by the way, nice to meet you," Naeun said, putting out her hand.
"Jung Eunji, thought it seems you already know me," Eunji said, shaking hands with the taller girl and returning the small smile. "Come in." Eunji grabbed one of the girl's suitcases and brought it in, ignoring her protestations. "Rooms won't be a problem. You can choose which one you want," Eunji said, lugging the suitcase up the stairs. It seemed that she had grabbed the heavier of the two because while she was having some trouble with her suitcase, Naeun didn't seem to be having much trouble. After they got Naeun's room situated, they made t
