Yerim immediately rushed to Seulgi and threw her body to her. She hugged her tightly while dramatically whining.


"Omg, it really is you! I missed you so much, pops! Where have you been all this time?"


"Hi...Yeri. Uh.. I missed you too."


The three of them went in with Yerim still clinging onto Seulgi while the people inside rushed to the sala to greet their long lost friend.


"Seul we missed you!" Jisoo and Wendy then ran to Seulgi to hug her and with Yerim still clinging onto her, she lost balance and now the four of them are all on the floor. Everyone laughed at them.They stood up and the other girls each greeted Seulgi, except for Irene who was still near the table, seemingly shy of the new presence while looking at the scene.


"Hi everyone, I missed you all." Seulgi shyly greeted them back.


Irene then walked to the sala to also greet the newcomer. She didn't want to be hostile around the other woman. Also, she couldn't deny the fact that she really missed her.


"Hi, Seul" Seulgi looked at her and smiled politely. "Hey"


"Ehem"


This caused them to stop their intense staring.


"So I uh, I got presents for you guys" Seulgi then took out the gjfts inside her bag and handed to each one. "Here".


"We'll open it later. For now, let's eat first. The food's ready." Wendy said.


"Seulgi your body looks leaner, it makes you even more attractive." Jennie stated, while walking with Seulgi.


"Huh? Uh, thanks" Seukgi responded albeit shyly



They're now seated at the dining table. Their seating arrangement was Wendy at the head of the table. Jennie, Lisa, Jisoo, and Rose' on one side while on the other are Joy, Yeri, Seulgi, and Irene. Irene didn't have a choice on her place as she was the last one to arrive at the table. Plus it seemed like they did it on purpose because Yerim literally dragged Seulgi to her seat, which left the only available seat next to Seulgi


They ate melodiously while telling stories about their busy lives. They also asked Seulgi where she went to, etc., etc. which she answered with no worries.


After eating and cleaning up, they all sat down at the sala, each one opening their present. Yerim's was a PS5 with video games, same as Lisa's and Jisoo's. Wendy received a case full of emergency tools and a Kate Spade emergency bag which caused laughter from everyone, teasing her for being a 'tita'. Joy, Rose', and Jennie each received a chanel bag and skin care products. Lastly, Seulgi gave Irene La Femme Prada perfume, an ampersand design Cart
