Chapter 2
Unexpected Fate--
It was warm evening in Italy, but it was gloomy on this particular pension. There were two couples surrounding one woman who was hyperventilating.
"Shh.. Sooyeon please take a deep breath. Please I'm begging you Sooyeon.."
Tiffany, although she was a mess too with all the tears, she was trying her best to take care of her best friend.
"M-Minjoo. What about M-Minjoo.. Oh god my poor baby.. S-She must be--"
"Sooyeon, Minjoo has Soojung. I'm sure Soojung is there for her okay? Please, take a deep breath.."
Sunny, who was beside Tiffany, trying to help the brunette to take care of their broken hearted best friend. She turned her head to look at her boyfriend, who was trying to make a phone call. Soo, realizing Sunny was staring at him, shake his head.
"I can't reach Amb's phone. Yul hyung was trying to call Soojung as well but no answers."
Sunny sighed and rubbed her best friend's back. Tonight was supposed to be the day they celebrate Sooyeon's fashion brand, Blanc & Eclare, for getting "Outstanding Achievement Award" from The Fashion Awards. But right before they head out, Sooyeon got called by her uncle. Sooyeon's parents got into an accident. A truck run over their car when they were on the way to pick Minjoo, Sooyeon's youngest sister, from her school. Her dad passed away on the site while her mom was still in the hospital. Sunny got teared up. Sooyeon lost her dad, twice. She consider her bestfriend's parents as her own so it hurts. Suddenly, Sooyeon's phone ring. All eyes on Sooyeon's phone.
- Our Maknae -
Sooyeon grab her phone fast but she was shaking too much. Sunny help her to answer the phone and put it on loudspeaker. They could hear a sniffle from the other side.
"Unnie.."
"Minjoo, baby? W-where are you now? Are you with Soojung?"
Minjoo didn't reply her immediately. She was having a hard time as well. They could hear someone was with her but they were sure it wasn't Soojung.
"Minjoo? Baby?"
Sooyeon called her sister's name again but all she could hear was her baby sister's wailing. All the adults heart that were present in there just broke. Since Minjoo was born late, they consider her as their youngest too. They keep babying her, eventhough they lived far away from her. Sooyeon was trying hard not to cry. Then, they heard some shuffeling.
"Uh.. Hello? Soojung unnie? This is Yuri.."
"Hello.. Yuri. This is Sooyeon, Minjoo's oldest sister. Where's Minjoo? Is she okay? Where are you guys now?"
"Oh! Hello Sooyeon unnie. We were in school right now. We just got back from practicing when we saw Minjoo's crying. We were worried because she keep crying. She don't have club today and school ends three hours ago. Auntie still not here and we couldn't reach her."
Sooyeon's heart just scattered. Her baby sister was still on the school. No one picked her up. Not even Soojung. She can't blamed Soojung as she might be on the hospital too right now. But, did she knew? Did her baby sister knew about their father? Sooyeon cleared .
"Yuri, honey. Could you please stay with Minjoo until someone picked her up? ... Something happened with our parents so.. Please, could you.. Could you stay with Minjoo?"
".... Okay unnie."
"Thank you. I will call someone to pick her up. Thank you.. Yuri."
The call ended. Everyone look at each other while Sooyeon is trying to call everyone she knew in Korea. After waiting for awhile, someone is finally picking up.
"Are you in Seoul now? I need your help."

Two were trying to console one of their friends who is having a hard time to stop her tears. The two were worried, as they have no idea why this bubbly friend of their was crying lik
