Eunji and Hanna embarked on an exhilarating week-long journey to Los Angeles, their hearts b with anticipation and excitement. Their purpose? To discuss the final details for their upcoming shop, a dream they had nurtured and meticulously planned for. It had taken some time to settle on the perfect location and building, but with the invaluable expertise of their friend Chanjin, everything had fallen into place seamlessly.   As they navigated the bustling hallways of their hotel, Eunji couldn't help but remark with a chuckle, "Chanjin couldn't take his eyes off you earlier. If my parents didn't need him, he would have happily joined us for lunch." Her voice carried a playful tone, hinting at the subtle yet undeniable connection between Hanna and Chanjin. "I still can't believe you two ended up together. It's a good thing, though."   Hanna's smile radiated warmth as she pressed the elevator button, summoning their descent. "Yes, he mentioned having dinner with me tonight," she confirmed, her voice laced with a blend of contentment and gratitude. "Despite all that has happened between you and Jiyong, and me and my cousin, I'm glad things worked out. Jin is finally maturing."   Eunji laughed, the sound filled with affection and fondness. "He better grow up; we left him in charge of the shop back home," she teased, her voice filled with playful banter. "Should we start panicking?"   A curious glint danced in Hanna's eyes as they stepped into the elevator, the soft hum of music enveloping them. She couldn't resist asking, her voice filled with intrigue, "By the way, what's this rumor I heard about you being engaged? Were you planning on telling me?"   Eunji rolled her eyes good-naturedly, her finger pressing the button for the ground floor. "Jiyong is just blabbering nonsense," she reassured Hanna, a playful smirk playing on her lips. "I'm not engaged. He's only engaged with the idea, though."   Hanna shook her head, amusement dancing in her eyes. "Leave it to Jiyong to stir up rumors. I should have known better than to take his words seriously. Well, I'm relieved to hear that you're not engaged. We don't need any more surprises right now."   As the elevator doors slid open, they stepped into the bustling streets of downtown Los Angeles, bathed in the warm glow of the California sun. Eunji‘s gaze softening as she let out a sigh. "Honestly, with everything going on, I can do without any more surprises myself. Planning this new shop has been challenging enough."   Her friend nodded empathetically, brows furrowing slightly. "Tell me about it. But hey, at least we have each other to navigate through all this madness," she remarked, her voice filled with unwavering support. "It's incredible how far we've come since our college days, isn't it?"   A nostalgic smile tugged at Eunji's lips as she took in the bustling scenery around them. "It truly is. From late-night study sessions to building our dreams together, we've seen it all," she mused, her voice tinged with a hint of sentimentality. "And despite the hurdles, the setbacks, and the unexpected twists, we've managed to stay strong."   Amidst the vibrant sidewalks and the kaleidoscope of sounds and scents that defined downtown Los Angeles, Eunji and Hanna continued their stroll, their conversation b with excitement, laughter, and plans for their future shop. Hanna's eyes shimmered with curiosity, unable to suppress her inquisitiveness any longer.   "Eunji, I can't help but wonder if there's more to this 'not engaged' situation," she confessed, her voice tinged with gentle curiosity. "Has Jiyong proposed to you? I mean, considering everything you two have been through, it must have come up, right?"   Eunji's steps faltered for a moment, her gaze drifting to a distant point as she contemplated Hanna's question. With a mixture of sadness and determination, she let out a heartfelt sigh. "Honestly, he has brought up the idea a few times," she admitted, her voice carrying a touch of vulnerability. "But I haven't given him a definitive answer. Right now, everything is going so well between us, and I don't want to disrupt the harmony we've found. Besides, it's too early to even think about engagement, especially when his fans are still getting accustomed to the idea of us being together."   An understanding gaze held a touch of empathy as Hanna absorbed the weight of Eunji's words. "I see where you're coming from, Eunji. It's important to cherish the progress you've made and prioritize the stability of your relationship. Rushing into an engagement could complicate matters further, especially when external factors are still at play."   Eunji's eyes softened, grateful for Hanna's unwavering support and empathy. "Exactly," she agreed, a note of determination resonating in her voice. "Our love deserves to grow and solidify naturally, without any external pressures. When the time is right, when we're both ready and the circumstances align appropriately, I believe we'll have that conversation and make a decision together."   A warm smile conveyed Hanna’s unwavering support. "I have no doubt that you'll navigate this with grace and make the right choice for both of you," she assured Eunji, her voice filled with confidence. "What about you and Dara unnie? How are things progressing?"   Eunji's face lit up, a soft smile gracing her lips at the mention of Dara. "It's going well," she shared, her voice filled with a mix of
