It was New Year and Eunbi haven’t heard anything about Hyewon for almost 2 months now.

Has the man been dead or what?

She was sure she spoke in her usual angry manner but not to the point that “Go away and never exist in my horizon anymore”

Hyewon is the kind of person that needed some push. And Eunbi did so.

“Aish..” she threw the balloon packet she bought for Sakura.

“Oii don’t have to do that to my balloon. It’s not named Hyeloon” Sakura complained.

“But still, thank you unnie for taking me out to buy these.. urm.. items” Sakura looked around at the scattered floor. 

The living room has turned upside down with all the balloon and confetti Sakura accidentally popped.

“I’m sorry Kkura ya.. I’m just so stressed”

“He hasn’t wish you anything I see.”

Eunbi puffed her cheeks. Sighing.

“I take that as no Christmas wish too then.”

“Aaaaa he’s so stupid Kkura ya.” Eunbi kicked the air.

“I i... I mean, I fricking miss him so much! Woohyun is so happy with his fiancée and I’m here just listening to him rambling and Myeon Soo. And that makes me feel 1000 times lonely. And now helping you witht your girlfriend birthday, I’m feeling 1000000 times lonely! (Count those 0 by yourself 😏)”

Sakura squinted her eyes “Ooo you’re complaining now.. Now that you’re ‘single’ you don’t want to help me anymore eh? Fine unnie. Fine.” Sakura pouted.

“Yaa! It’s... Not really what I meant. I..you know..”

“I don’t wanna know” Sakura pouted and turned her cheeks away.

Eunbi can’t help but find the girl cute being sulky like that.

She usually pranking people and has not being this clingy.

But guess something change.

She threw the balloon packet at Sakura. It landed directly onto her T-section.

“Nice shot!” Eunbi hooray-ed.

“Unnie!!!!” Sakura threw the packet back but Eunbi nodged it away.

“Hahahaha missed!” Eunbi laughs.

Sakura just scoffed. “You’re childish unnie”

“Rich, coming from you, the one who can’t even drink alcohol LEGALLY”

Sakura rolled her eyes.

“No one will know if I drink it in this house”

“Try me”

Sakura pulled up her poker face on. 

“Forgot I have you as my neighbour. And also, unofficial housemate.”

“Well, I’m not gonna be one tonight. I’m off sleeping at my own house. Don’t wanna hear some weird sounds coming from next door.”

“Unnie! We’re still kids! And we’re innocent! We won’t do that! Yet.....”

Eunbi looked at her “I didn’t say anything. What do you mean by ‘do that’?”

“I..I..well I.. I mean...”

Eunbi smirked “ERT!”

“No I’m not!” Sakura denying the accusation.

“Yes you are!”

“No!”

“No to No!”

“Yes to No!”

Sakura pouted, fuming.

“But ain’t it normal for couples to do it though?”

“I think...”

“Have you.. nevermind” Sakura hesitating. 

“Don't. Don’t even imagine it” Eunbi glares at Sakura.

“I’m not saying anything” Sakura protested.

“Yaa, do I look like I won’t get laid.”

“You do look like you will. But I never seen anyone you clicked on. Except......”

“Shut up. Don’t even dare to say the name”

“I won’t” Sakura pursed her lips.

Silence fill the room.

Smirking, Eunbi “Don’t forget to wear protection” 

No Miyawaki will put up no fight “Unnie. Chaeyeon doesn’t have a . I don’t too. We are not a Hyewon”

Eunbi gasped “Oh you! Going there. You”

“Me” Sakura smirked. Ready to run.

“MIYAWAKI SAKURA!!!”

And the balloons were left to deflate.

‘Hmmm.... Poor us’

**********

Yena, Yujin, Minjoo and Yiren arrived after lunch.

They brought Sakura katsu don and some fruits.

The clique had planned this celebration very smoothly.

Somehow it feels like having their own sorority party at Sakura’s house.

Minjoo amd Yujin will be sleeping at the guest room while Yena already took Nako’s room for herself.

And Yiren by the side. Of course.

No this won’t go M-rated. 

We’re keeping them as school kids now okay.

Sakura and Chaeyeon will sleep together in Babachan’s room that is now Sakura’s.

As Sakura old room has now become Eunbi mini room.

Huhu. The perk of being left living alone at your home.

“What about the cake?” Yujin asked. 

“Eunbi unnie will send it to us. Since, I have no car. No, we all have no cars.”

“Eunbi unnie?” Yiren asked.

“Yes. Miss Kwon Eunbi. Our principal. She’s Sakura god-sister” Yena explained. Clearly making up the term god-sister.

“Oh wow. I just know” Yiren seems a bit whelmed.

Minjoo looked at Sakura. And Sakura is not oblivious to it.

“Yes Minjoo, what is it?” she walked closer speaking very slowly.

“Oppa. Oppa is already back. Won’t they, won’t they meet each other?”

“Ahhh” Sakura just remembered.

“Don't worry, I’ll take care of that” Sakura patted Minjoo’s back. Reassuring her.

“Okay.. I just hope they can get back together. Oppa is.. urm.. kinda coward. Despite he looks soulless and very carefree” Minjoo fidgetted.

“We both knew that” she added.

“I got a plan” Sakura smiles.

Minjoo shakes her head “You really love playing cupid. Don’t you? You set me up with Yujin and now you’re setting my brother up too. Are you human?”

Sakura put her fingers up “Minjoo, that’s my line”

They laughed together.

Minjoo will never forget how Sakura captured her hearts with that one punch line “Are you human?” when Sakura came and helped her up after she fell at a playground.

They both had that little monkey business during their junior years.

And despite having feelings left behind, they both knew it best, they don’t clicked together.

Feelings can be treasured since young age.

What matters is how you manage your feels.

“Yujin ahhh stop popping the balloons!” Yena shouted at the puppy.

I don’t pop it. They popped by themselves!” Yujin defended herself.

She did nothing but the balloons around her keeps popping.

It felt like a little paintball warfield echoing in the house.

“Use your height to hang this. Make some good use of that long pole.” Yena shoved her the banner. 

“Hang it at the wall” Yena pointed to an empty space on the wall at dini
