Jiyoung

Jinri tugged at your sleeve.

'H-How do you know Park Jiyoung?'

Jiyoung was at the counter of the cafe, choosing what to order the 3 of you.

'Jiyoung-unnie is Yeollie's older sister'

'Chanyeol-ssi's?!'

You nodded, laughing at your friend. She had the look of shock on her face and it was like she had just been slapped with a wet fish.

'I love this place' Jiyoung said, sitting down and joining you and Jinri.

Jinri nodded, unsure of what to say.

'They serve English tea here so I just ordered scones, jam and clotted cream as well as a few cakes. Is that okay with you guys?'

'That sounds amazing, unnie!' you said.

Jinri nodded again and you nudged her. Jiyoung laughed.

'Ah, I suppose I should introduce myself. I'm Jiyoung, annyeonghaseyo'

'Annyeonghaseyo, Jinri imnida' Jinri replied, bowing her head slightly.

'You're very pretty Jinri-ah... Oh, do you mind me calling you that?'

Jinri shook her head, 'May I call you unnie?'

Jiyoung laughed again, 'Of course you can! Jinri-ah, have you ever thought of being a model?'

'Me? A model? Ah, impossible!'

Jinri turned a shade of scarlet and Jiyoung laughed once more.

'I think you'd be perfect. My agency is looking for new faces so tell me if you want me to put you up for it, okay?'

Jinri nodded, 'Araso'

Jiyoung turned to you this time and took out a small box from her black Prada handbag.

'Unnie...'

'It's for you, just something I picked up in Paris last time'

'When you went for Paris Fashion Week?'

'Mmhmm. Open it! I think you'll like it... Jinri-ah, I'll bring you something next time'

'Oh no, it's okay, unnie!' Jinri said quickly but you could tell she was happy.

You opened up the box and inside were two things; a necklace and a lipstick.

'Lipstick?'

'There's a famous Chinese actress called Fan Bingbing who I met at the Cannes Film Festival just before I got my big break. Do you know what she said to me?'

'What did she say?'

'She said 'lipstick is a very important beauty product because I find that the lips are the most beautiful feature of anyone's face'. I wasn't wearing any lipstick and she passed me hers and told me to put it on. Then she posed with me for some photos and after that, I became a famous face in the press overnight. They called us the 'Asian supermodel duo'. How funny? It was the first time I had met her and she just did that massive favour for me'

Jiyoung giggled and Jinri stared at her, open mouthed.

'You've used Fan Bingbing's lipstick?'

'She's one of my best friends now! I see her whenever I can. I can never forget how she helped my career just by doing that small thing for me.'

'She sounds like you, unnie' you said.

'In what way?'

'You're both generous people, giving me gifts like this'

You opened the lipstick. It was a pinky orange shade.

'It's quite an 'in' color at the moment. My make up artist friend was telling me that it'd be perfect for you because it's quite sheer so you can build up the color if you want to or just wear it as a sort of light tint. He said that it's one of the best formulas of lipstick because it doesn't dry out your lips. Plus, it'll make all the boys fall for you!' Jiyoung joked.

'Ah, I should get a lipstick like that then' Jinri said, laughing.

'I'll pick one for you the next time I see my friend and I'll pass it to Haneul for you'

'Unnie, you're the best!'

'Try the necklace, Haneul. I want to see if what I chose is good!'

You carefully unwrapped the tissue paper and the necklace was just a simple gold chain with a pendant on it.

'It's tiger's eye. Those gemstones are supposed to be protectors so that no harm will come to you. It's been used as a talisman by merchants for years to keep them from both physical harm as well as curses.'

'Unnie... This- This... It's beautiful. You shouldn't have.' you stuttered.

You lightly the necklace. It was delicate and slipped around. You clasped it around your neck.

'It was being sold by an old lady at the Sunday vintage market, just a few minutes away from the Eiffel Tower. I thought it'd suit your eyes.'

She admired the necklace that was now hanging around your neck and pretended to take a photo with her hands.

'And it does! Ah, Jiyoung. You've really outdone yourself. Honestly, I get everyone the perfect presents'

You grinned and nodded. Jiyoung poured out another cup of tea for you and Jinri but stopped when she noticed you starting to panic.

'Aish!'

'Haneul? What's wrong?'

'I was supposed to buy presents for everyone!'

'Presents? What for?... Did something big happen whilst I was away that Chanyeol didn't tell me?! Ah, that boy!'

'Ani, ani... It's just... Erm...'

'What is it, Hanuel? You can tell unnie'

'Everyone's been working hard'

'Surely that's okay though. It's university after all'

'I mean like... Kai-oppa and Suho-oppa hard'

Jiyoung inhaled, knowing exactly what you meant. She pinched the top of her nose bridge.

'Aish, those boys. When will they ever learn?'

You nodded sadly and Jiyoung cupped your face.

'Unnie?...'

'Listen Haneul-ah. Let's go and buy them presents now. Unnie is here so we can buy whatever you need, okay? Money is no issue now.'

'B-But... Unnie, you can't waste your money on us!'

'Don't worry about it okay, Haneul? I want to buy a present for them just as much as you do. I hate seeing them overworking themselves. God knows what Chanyeol is doing though, that lazy brother of mine.'

You shrugged, 'Actually Yeollie's been pretty busy too. He's not as lazy as he was when I first met him. He even puts his dish in the kitchen now instead of leaving it for D.O to do'

'Wow. Haneul-ah, you must have really changed him'

'Ah what are you talking about, unnie? Me? Yeollie's just growing up now, I have nothing to do with it'

Jiyoung smiled.

'Come on, we've got a ton of shopping to do and not much time! I want to have dinner with you all too! Ah, I'm so happy to be back in Seoul!'

So you all missed Jiyoung-unnie? Ah, so did I! AND NOW SHE'S BACK! There'll be another chapter of Jiyoung focused goodness and then we'll get back into the EXO babies.

btw, I think I'm ill. I've been these little seizures. Like. Heart attacks.

I mean

DEAR GOD HOW DO I LIVE
