AUTHOR’S POV

 “Daydreaming again, Ham Eunjung?” 

Eunjung was startled, the voice was very familiar to her. A very good looking girl with long blonde hair approach Eunjung with her big laugh. She takes a seat beside Eunjung and peck Eunjung’s cheek.

“Yah, Park Jiyeon! Stop freaking me out like that. Luckily I don’t have heart attack. U don’t love me, are u?”  She pouts while rubbing her chest.

“Miane Unnie. I will never do that again. I promise. ” Jiyeon give a swear gesture and makes her puppy eyes.

“Aishh this beautiful Maknae.”

Eunjung give Jiyeon a hug and kiss her forehead. Jiyeon giggle, she loves the way Eunjung treat her, like a real sister.

“Where are the others?” Eunjung ask Jiyeon as she releases her hug.

“Qri and Rambo Unnie on their way, Hyominnie and Soyeon Unnie will catch us later. They got something to do at the office. Wae?” Jiyeon said. She was trying to open the drinking water bottle but the seal seems like trying to play hard to get.

Watching Jiyeon struggle herself out, Eunjung grab the mineral water from her. She successfully opens the seal at the first trial. Jiyeon makes ‘I’m so proud’ face. ‘Daebak!’

“Well.. I got some news for us.” And she handles the mineral water to Jiyeon.

“Gomawo Unnie.” Jiyeon portray her wide smile to Eunjung and have a big gulp before she continue her words.

“So, what’s the news? Does it bad or good news?”

“Both”. Eunjung simply answered Jiyeon but her face doesn’t look so good.

“Mwoh. What kind of face is that Unnie?”

“Because the bad new..” Jiyeon stop her before Eunjung finish her word,

“At least we still got good news. It was better than nothing, right?” She chuckle a bit then Eunjung draw a smile and pat Jiyeon’s head.

‘But I’m still worry about you Jiyeonnie’. Eunjung talk to herself.

“Aigoo this Unnie. Please be optimistic okay. I love you so much Jungie Unnie.” And she lean on Eunjung’s shoulder.

“I love you too little Dino.” She pinch Jiyeon’s nose. Their beautiful laughter conquers the atmosphere.

“Did we miss the special part here?” both Jiyeon and Eunjung turn around and saw Boram,Qri,Hyomin and Soyeon standing behind them with  their hand cross at their chest.

“Unnie, since when all of you standing there? I didn’t hear any sound. Don’t tell me you were a ghost?” Jiyeon ask them and furrow her eyebrows.. Eunjung giggle over Jiyeon’s word.

The other members take their seats together with Eunjung and Jiyeon.

“Yah Jiyeonnie!. How could you say your unnies was a ghost? Do we really look that creepy to you?” Boram pout. She was so cute.

“It’s ok Rambo ah. If we were ghost then you was the cutest ghost ever.” Soyeon tease their oldest member and pinch her cheek. The other just smile as they see their ‘Tom and Jerry’ couple. They sometimes fight with each other but always they know how to make each other feel better.

“Eunjungie.. You love me too right?” Hyomin lean on Eunjung’s shoulder and do her aegyo.

“Hyominnie. You are too old already. Don’t make any aegyo again. It doesn’t suit you anyway.”

All of them laugh. Qri rarely speak but if open, her words for sure a little bit mean but they are already used with it because it just a tease. Well, all of those thing that tighten their bond. Not as a friends but family.

“Wa. Qri unnie. Your face looks innocent but sure you have sharp tongue like Soyeon Unnie.” Hyomin release Eunjung hand and pout again.

“Aigoo.. Hyominnie.. That face make you look like an ahjumma already. Nomu nomu chuwa Hyominnie. My y Unnie.” Eunjung hug Hyomin and give her a kiss on her forehead. Hyomin’s face draws a big smile. She already knows the answer but she love the way their friends shows their love. By silly fight and by warm touch.

“What about me, Jungie ah?” Qri try to get Eunjung’s attention too. She makes an aegyo that no one can resist. She is cutie pretty right?

“Yah! Was today an aegyo day? I’m going to sick sooner or later watching all of my unnies like this.” All of them laugh with Jiyeon’s word. They smell a jealousy in her word.

“Seems like Dino mode has already. We better watch out. You are not jealous right Jiyeonnie?” Soyeon giggle. Their laughter breaks the moment again.

“Ani.. Eunjung Unnie. Why don’t you tell them about the news?” Jiyeon try to avoid their Unnies’s tease again by changing their attention to Eunjung. Their mode turns to serious. No more smile on their face just curiosity playing in their head.

“What is it Jungie?” Boram broke the silence.

“I don’t know whether all of you were ready or not to hear these especially Jiyeon.”  She sighs. There was a little bit shaky in Eunjung’s voice. The other just gave their most attention to Eunjung’s word but their curiosity gains more as Eunjung hug Jiyeon and caresses her long hairs.

“W..wae..Unnie?” Jiyeon stuttered. She takes a look at Eunjung and the other members. They just shook their head and give ‘I don’t have any idea’ face to Jiyeon.

“It’s okay Jungie ah.. Just spill the words.” Soyeon approach them as she leaves her seat. The other members follow her. Hyomin laid her hand at Eunjung’s back and give her a nod.

“Actually we got a mission. It was a series killer case.” Eunjung release a big sigh.

 The other was startled for a second but then they just get into themselves after that.

“Jungie, u makes me scared to death earlier. No need to make that face over this mission Pabo ya.!”  Qri’s tone was a little high.

“Qri is right. We already got into these kinds of cases before this right? So, what’s the problem Jungie ah..” Hyomin don’t like this kind of situation. All of them look at Eunjung.

 “The crime’s place was in high school. Kirin Art School.” Eunjung faced down to the floor. She can’t face Jiyeon at that time.

All of them lost their words. Soyeon grab speechless Jiyeon into her arm. Boram was sediment beside Hyomin and they were looking at each other. Qri approach Eunjung and give her a hug.

“Mianne Jungie. I wasn’t angry with you, I’m just worried. Mianne.” Eunjung hug Qri back. “Ottoke Unnie”. Tears start falling down on Eunjung’s cheek. Qri caresses her short hair.

“It’s gonna be ok. Ssshhhh..” Qri try to comfort Eunjung with her word but unexpectedly her warming tears also streaming on her cheek.

Hyomin grab Boram’s hand. Both of them can’t resist their tears. For years they never drop tears but today seems like exception to them. There is no word. Only sobbing sound heard in the space.
