Jolie Is My New Best Friend

Pure Pain, Undiluted

Mi Nyu woke up early, feeling confused. Does she still love Hyungnim? Or what is she feeling for Shin Woo?

Good thing Shin Woo was not in the kitchen, so she drank water in peace. Then she went out and greeted the dog. Jolie was already up and about and wagged her tail in delight.

"Jolie, I think you are the only one here who listens without reservations," she told the dog.

The dog blinked its eyes and continued panting.

"Oppa, Jeremy, and I watched a heartbreaking movie last night," she narrated. "It's so sad, do you know?"

Then Jeremy ran towards them and hugged his dog.

"Jooolllliiiiieeeee!!!!!!" he childishly cried to his dog.

Mi Nyu looked at Jeremy, whose eyes were all puffy from crying. She asked him if he was all right.

"Anio. I researched for the lines of that movie, and I found out that the Basha girl, Bea Alonzo, is half-British, like me!" he said. "Ah, Mi Nyu-ya, I have never heard those lines before."

Then Jolie her master's face.

"Jolie, be good to your boyfriend all right? Don't let the time come when he will tell you, 'She loved me at my worst, you had me at my best. And you chose to break my heart'. Be a good dog, Jolie," he said as he her fur.

Mi Nyu laughed at Jeremy's choice of situation to use the lines. It was not fit for a dog.

"Why are you all here gathering around Jolie?" a deep manly voice boomed.

"Hyungnim," Mi Nyu answered.

"Is it her birthday?" Tae Kyung asked.

"Ani.... Remember that Jolie and I have the same birthday," Jeremy explained.

The leader looked at the dog, then at Jeremy. 

"I got a call from the president, and he said we need to be there early,"

"Oh?"

Tae Kyung raised his eyebrow at him. "You mean, you did not know?"

"Ah... O, I forgot to check my phone!"

"Aish, forget it. Shin Woo and Mi Nam already went to the studio. We'll be leaving in 10 minutes flat."

"B-b-b-b-but Hyung! I have not taken a bath yet!"

"Ga (Go)!" Tae Kyung instructed him.

As the blondie ran inside, Tae Kyung smiled at his girlfriend and knelt beside her.

"Pig Rabbit, have you eaten breakfast yet?"

"Ani, Hyungnim. I am on my way to prepare breakfast," she said.

"I guess I could not eat your cooking then. Jeremy and I had to be on the go."

"Arasseoyo, Hyungnim."

"Will you be around the house the whole day?"

"I guess so. I will help Aunt Mi Ja do the house cleaning."

Tae Kyung smiled at his girlfriend. Was she practicing to be a good housewife?

"Then, cook something delicious for me."

"Ye."

Hyungnim leaned forward ang kissed her lips. Then, he stood up and walked away.

"Hyungnim's kisses still makes me blush. But why don't I feel the giddiness I usually feel?" she thought.

Then, looking at the dog, she told her. 

"Jolie. For today, I will be your bestfriend."

As if she understood what was said, the dog rolled on her back. Mi Nyu smiled as she looked at the friendly dog.

*******

Mi Nyu and Aunt Mi Ja were busy the whole day, doing the household chores. Later that afternoon, she took the dog for a stroll near the lake.

"Look Jolie, the birds are pretty," she told the animal.

Jolie barked happily and wagged her tail. She was indeed happy to see other animals. Then, she saw a collie nearby, and she hid behind Mi Nyu.

"Oh? Is something wrong, Jolie?"

When Mi Nyu looked up to see, the collie was asleep beside its owner. Then, Mi Nyu noticed that the owner came to her.

"Awww.... your dog is totally adorable!" she said.

Jolie panted and wagged her tail. She allowed the other lady to caress her fur.

"By any chance, are you Nana of After School?" Mi Nyu asked.

"Ne. Oh, you look like Go Mi Nam."

Mi Nyu blushed. "He is my twin."

Nana squealed. "I am a fan of AN Jell. But too bad I could not ask for Mi Nam-oppa's autograph."

Mi Nyu felt sorry for her.

"I could not even visit the AN Entertainment because we are busy. This is the only hour that I am free."

Then, another girl approached Nana.

"Yoo He Yi?"

"He Yi" looked at Mi Nyu weirdly, then she broke into a smile.

"Ah... Anio... I am not He Yi-ssi. I am Uee," Uee explained. "He Yi-ssi is taller than me."

"Ah... you look like her," Mi Nyu explained.

Then Uee noticed Jolie and patted the dog. Jolie shut its eyes in happiness.

"What's her name?" Nana asked.

"Her name is Jolie. Jeremy named her after Angelina Jolie."

Uee and Nana laughed heartily. "Jeremy-ssi is a total genius. We really adore the dog."

"Aw...  how about that dog?" Mi Nyu asked about the sleeping collie.

"Ah, it's Kahi-eonni's dog. We took her out for a while, as Kahi-eonni had a dental checkup," Uee explained.

Mi Nyu did not share that Jolie was afraid of the other dog.

"It's so nice to see you, Go Mi Nam's twin," Nana said.

"Aw, my name is Go Mi Nyu," she introduced herself.

"Nice to meet you, Mi Nyu-ssi," Nana and Uee said.

"I am so happy that in my limited and precious one hour, we got to know you and Jeremy's dog," Nana said.

"Ne, we are," Uee said.

Both of them bid her goodbye, and they went away with Kahi's dog. Mi Nyu looked at them walk away.

"Jolie, I think it is also time for us to get ready and go home."

**************

It was past five when Aunt Mi Ja was gathering her ingredients for dinner. Mi Nyu came in and offered to cook dinner for them instead.

"Oh, my niece is practicing to be a wifey!" Aunt Mi Ja .

Mi Nyu only blushed and nodded happily. She was definitely going to cook something delicious for Tae Kyung.

**************

Tae Kyung, Jeremy, Aunt Mi Ja, and Mi Nam felt that their stomachs were reprimanding them for not giving in to the Italian-style cooking in front of them.

"Whoa, I thought only He Yi was fond of spaghetti," Mi Nam said.

"No room for words," Tae Kyung said. "Let's start dinner."

"Jal meokgetseumnida," they chorused.

Jeremy and Mi Nam were fighting as to who should get spaghetti first. Tae Kyung settled for the other food on the table.

"Are you sure there are no shrimps here?" he asked Mi Nyu.

She shook her head, knowing that he is allergic to shrimps. "Not even sesame oil, Hyungnim."

Tae Kyung let out a smirk and feasted on the food on his plate. Jeremy slurped the pasta until it was out of sight.

"Mashisseo (delicious)!" Jeremy exclaimed.

Aunt Mi Ja was enjoying her niece's cooking.

"Mi Nyu-ya, this is the third time I ate spaghetti in my entire life! Gomapda...."

"You're welcome, Auntie."

"Mi Nyu-ya, you should cook for us everyday," Jeremy said.

Only Shin Woo was eating his dinner silently. Mi Ny did not notice it because she was busy teaching basic manners to her brother and to the drummer.

"Oh, Shin Woo-hyung, what do you think of the chicken cacciatore?" Jeremy asked.

"Mashisseo," he calmly replied, though he did not want to make a big deal out of it.

Mi Nyu looked at him and smiled a bit. Even if Shin Woo was not smiling, it was all right with her that he ate the food that she cooked.

*********

"Jolie, can I make you my living diary?" she asked the dog.

Jolie was scratching herself and not paying attention.

"Jolie, eotteokhaji? What will I cook for tomorrow's breakfast?" she asked.

Then a female voice replied.

"Ham and eggs. That is the usual breakfast, right?"

Mi Nyu looked at the dog.

"Am I hallucinating? Jolie, did you just tell me to cook ham and eggs?"

Jolie replied. "Why of course! That is our breakfast menu for tomorrow."

"Oh, I did not know Jeremy had been telling you on what we eat."

"Jeremy? Told me? Mi Nyu-ya, I am the one always preparing your breakfast."

Mi Nyu stopped. Jolie in the kitchen preparing breakfast? It was always Aunt Mi Ja doing that. Then she turned around.

"Auntie!" she gasped.

"Aigoo, this kid. Why are you talking to the dog? I am the one talking to you."

The ajumma laughed and went to her niece.

"You thought you are talking to Jolie?"

"Ye."

"Ahahaha.... Don't think you are getting crazy, my dear. Just serve Jeremy with the usual ham and eggs, and he will be all right."

"Ye."

Mi Ja hugged her niece tight. She was proud to have a loving and good niece. She was proud of her twins.

Chapter 22: I'm conflicted. Ri Ja's death is a sad ending, and I would have liked to see more of Shin Woo and Mi Nyu's relationship evolving. They haven't really been close since she went to Africa.

Chapter 20: It has to be a happy ending, because just when I thought "Mi Nyu will stop crying know, she sees to be ok now..." she's crying again and I'm crying with her. Though I cannot blame Shin Woo for loving another person, really

Chapter 15: Ok, so finally a nice moment between Shin Woo and Mi Nyu (even if she's still harboring those hopeless feelings) and Tae Kyung finally is starting to see what's going on with her girlfriend. Also,Shin Woo's girlfriend is just so nice.... Uff, this whole situation is just sad and complicated.

Chapter 13: I hope that, just like Basha and Popoy, Mi Nyu and Shin Woo could get one more chance. Meanwhile, I'm also praying to see a more resilient Mi Nyu... I don't like to kow she's crying and hurting in every chapter until now.

Chapter 10: I'd love to see Mi Nyu and Shin Woo together, but I'm not really liking Mi Nyu now. I mean, she's still Tae Kyung's girlfriend and it's not fair to him that she's crying over his bandmate when they are together.

Chapter 23: Did Shin Woo really love Ri Ja? Or was his love for Mi Nyu just being suppressed inside him? I'm a bit bothered that he fell in love with another girl even though in the end he ended up with Mi Nyu...
