3 days before the premiere night

There was a knock on Chaewon's door.

"Sino ba 'yan, walang yelo dito" Dinig na dinig ni Minjeong ang annoyance sa boses ni Chaewon, She laughed because she was used to it before.

Chaewon had just seen her Ate Taeyeon's message na may guest daw ito na makikituloy sakanila.

"Sino ka nanaman ba at ano mo si Ate Taey–" Chaewon dropped her phone noong makita kung sino 'yung nakangiti sa kanya ngayon.

"What the !" Sigaw ni Minjeong when Chaewon slapped her all of a sudden.

"Totoo ka nga, dahil diyan isa pa ulit" Halos maluha si Minjeong dahil umisa pa si Chaewon at malakas talaga manampal ito.

"Parang kulang pa–"

"Tama na gago" Pigil ni Minjeong sa kamay ni Chaewon na nakataas

"Kapal naman ng mukha mo na magpakita after mo kami iwanan"

"I'm sorry" 

"Why did you leave?" Malungkot na tanong ni Chaewon

"Halika ka nga dito" Chaewon pulled Minjeong in her arms, She haven't seen her in so long, It feels like they were kids again.

"I missed you Minjeong"

“So final na? You’re going talaga?” Tumango si Minjeong, She just told Chaewon na Jaemin invited her sa premiere night ng movie nito that also happens to be the movie that Karina is directing.

“She deserves to know why I left” Umiling si Chaewon at tinawanan siya.

“Mabuti alam mo” Her sister placed down the sizzling plate in front of her, nasa condo sila ni Chaewon at Ate Taeyeon niya ngayon sa 18th floor.

She was the guest they were expecting.

"So bakit si Ate Taeyeon ang tinawagan mo at hindi ako? or si Ate Jennie?" Tanong ni Chaewon

"Siya unang nagmessage saakin, apparently kakilala niya pala 'yung captain ko and he told Ate Taeyeon"

"Ano sabi?"

"He told her na dito na ako sa pilipinas magtatrabaho"

"So you'll be here for good?"

"Yeah. It's about time I guess?"

"Do you have a place na?"

"Yeah, I'll be moving there in a week, ayos lang ba kung dito muna ako?"

"Bakit naman hindi?"

"Uuwi ba si Ate Taeyeon ngayon? si Ate Jennie?" Tanong ni Minjeong

"Hindi uuwi si Ate Taeyeon ngayong gabi kasi night shift siya, si Ate Jennie mukhang hindi dahil kasi kasama niya girlfriend niya at malayo ang bahay niya dito" 

"May girlfriend si Ate Jennie?"

"Oo"

"Bakit hindi niya sinabi sa'kin?"

"Eh hindi ka nga nagpaparamdam saamin, you barely even text back tapos holiday greetings at birthday greetings lang mga message mo at bago pa kami makapagreply ay deactivated nanaman account mo" Chaewon sighed "You're far and you don't check your phone, and also alam mo naman na si Ate Jennie lang ang hindi itinakwil nila mama so it was hard for her, she was pressured and she needed you by her side, close na close pa naman kayo"

"Did you know why pati kayo tinaguan ko?"

Chaewon looked at Minjeong, she sensed the sadness on her voice.

"Noong naghiwalay kasi kami ni Karina siya 'yung kinampihan niyo"

"Minjeong…"

"Gets ko naman na nagkamali ako, pero kailangan ko din kasi kayo, kasi nahihirapan din ako, pero wala kayo kasi nandoon kayo kasama ni Karina"

"I'm sorry…"

"Kaya nagalit ako, pati kayo tinakbuhan ko, at noong hinahanap niyo na ako ay ayaw ko na kayong kausapin dahil masama ang loob ko, pero noong tumagal narealize ko na ako 'yung may mali, you guys just didn't want to tolerate me kasi hindi naman ganun ang ugali niyo" Minjeong smiled warmly

"It took me such a long time to accept na ako din naman ang may kasalanan" Minjeong laughed.

"Sorry, kasi we neglected you"

"Okay lang. I realized din na if ako 'yung nasa situation niyo magagalit din ako sainyo. Tinakwil man tayo ng parents natin dahil baluktot ang mindset nila, hindi naman baluktot ang mindset natin na mga anak nila"

She was right. Tinakwil silang tatlo, apat actually ng mga magulang nila, si Ate Taeyeon niya na itinakwil nila dahil nalaman nilang nagsisinungaling ito na nakapagtrabaho na sa ospital pero sumasideline pala as a singer sa isang bar dahil 'yun naman talaga ang gusto niyang gawin.
