*** story set without pandemic***

The girls left the meeting with their main manager excited, they would have 2 weeks off during the end of the year and the foreigners could visit their families, Shuhua, Yuqi and Minnie were excited on the phone researching ticket prices while the others celebrated the well-deserved vacation , the return to the dorm was full of calls, plans and complaints about plane ticket prices and when Soojin arrived at the dorm the only thing she wanted was to lie down on her bed and rest, it didn't take long and soon Shuhua entered her room accompanied of Haku and Mata

-Jin ah

-What is the matter baobei?

Shuhua sat on Soojin's bed and looked at her apprehensively

- Will you come home with me? To meet my family and celebrate Christmas with us? It would be a great opportunity for them to meet you

Soojin looked at her surprised, they had been dating for a few months and she knew Shuhua wanted to tell her parents about them, the Yeh knew their daughter was a lesbian for a few years now, Soojin wanted to say yes but something, however, held her back, deep inside Soojin knew that meeting Shuhua's parents would mean admitting to people other than the group that they were together and she wasn't prepared for that.

-Shu, I can't

-But Jin ah, I found cheap tickets and your parents are traveling with your sister so they wouldn't mind you traveling too

-I can't Shu, I'm sorry

-You can't or don't want to?

Soojin just lowered her head

-Oh... alright

Soojin hated Shuhua's tone of voice but she couldn't help but imagine other people knowing they were dating, and if the media thought it suspicious her going to Taiwan? What if the company found it too? She couldn't risk being outed

-Shu...

Soojin reached out to her but Shuhua just got out of bed and walked towards the door

- I just thought that you would like to meet my parents, do you know? We always talked about visiting Taipe together...but I understand...

Shuhua sniffed and left the room before Soojin could speak, leaving the Korean to her fear and her doubts.

--/--

The dorm was empty and practically quiet if it wasn't for the TV on playing a movie that Soojin barely paid attention to, she looked at her cell phone worriedly, Shuhua hadn't sent her any more messages since arriving in Taipe, a feeling of guilt filled her heart

-You look pathetic

Soojin yelled when she saw Moonbyul standing beside the sofa

- What are you doing here unnie? You should be traveling to Paris with Solar unnie

Moonbyul stood in front of her

-I'm not Moonbyul, at least not the one you know, you may call me the Ghost of Christmas Past

-What game is this unnie? It´s a prank? Where is Solar unnie? It´s a Solarsido challenge?

-I'm not kidding, I took this form because I know you value her opinion a lot

-So what are you doing here?

-All you need to do is take my hand

Moonbyul instructed while offering her hand and Soojin held it, Moonbyul snapped her fingers and the room and everything changed around them with instant

-Remember this?

Soojin looked around and noticed it was their old dorm.

- Why did you bring me here?

-I'm bringing you here to show you how you got to where you are today, to understand your actions

Suddenly a much younger Shuhua appeared running and crossed the two

-What the

-We're just here to observe

They saw when Shuhua handed a younger Soojin a gift, Soojin noticed that the wrapping was very sloppy, typical of Shuhua, but she couldn't help but smile at her excitement

-Unnie I bought you a gift

-Shu, you shouldn't spend your money, I know your parents send you little money

-I saved unnie, I wanted to give you something special, I hope you like it

Soojin opened the box and found a beautiful red scarf

-It's perfect, thank you

Shuhua hugged her and Soojin allowed herself to be embraced by the younger girl, taking the opportunity to savor her sweet peach scent

-See? I told you there's something wrong with them

The voice of the other trainners who shared their dorm with them woke Soojin from her frenzy and she pushed Shuhua hard

-It will be perfect with the outfit I will wear on my DATE WITH  HUI

Soojin spoke a little louder so the trainners could hear without noticing Shuhua's hurt look

-Are you going out with Hui?

-Yes, he's kind my boyfriend, did you forget?

-But you promised that we would spend Christmas eve together

-I'm sorry Shu

The present Soojin hated what she saw

-Why did you do that?

Moonbyul asked

-I was afraid, I was afraid of what other people would think, I was too afraid to take that chance to see where our future could go, I was afraid of failing again in another company, that's why I dated Hui

-Was it worth it?

Before Soojin could respond Moonbyul snapped her fingers again and Soojin found herself standing in the living room of a colorful home, the s
