"My bitch!" It is the first thing that Nicha Yontararak shouts as she exits the private jet, throwing her arms up and opening a wide animated smile.
Her dark hair has purple highlights now, her breasts are covered in a patterned bikini and her arms in a short denim jacket, and there are brown boots on her feet, plus sunglasses in her hair and shorts on her hips. Her exaggeration makes Soyeon ask herself why she even invited her — begged is the right way to say it.
"Minnie, I'm your boss," Soyeon remembers, accepting quietly the older girl's arms squeeze.
"You're also my best friend, so stop ruining the moment," she walks away and takes a good look at the producer. "You look old."
The blonde rolls her eyes, but ends up sighing. "You have no idea of all the things that already happened since I got here."
"Tell me all about it!"
And so she does, narrating everything that happened since she arrived on the island until the present moment as they walk to the red truck, and a little more during the ride hours, which are not so many as before because Soyeon drives faster than Yuqi — to not be unfair, Minnie commented too long between Soyeon's lines and that's why it took that much.
"So, to sum it all up, your cousin is gay and is getting married to a girl, with all the support of the same homophobic as fuck town that made you run away years and years ago?" Nicha says as she gets out of the car, slamming the door behind her. "Man, that's pretty fucked up."
"I know!" The other widens her eyes, too grateful for finally have someone who understands her there. "I mean, it's great that Soojin is getting all the love and attention, but why am I the exception?"
"That is so fucking ridiculous. I swear to God, these people are all crazy."
"Yeah, tell me about it."
They get inside the house and Byeonghwa, who had taken the day to cook for the girls and receive a second artist under his roof, introduces the house to Minnie while sharing some shameful stories of when his daughter was younger as they pass by a meaningful object and his forty-something years old lets him remember; he had met the singer at Soyeon's birthday party last year, so there's already some intimacy there.
When the little tour ends in Sunhee's room — which actually never really belonged to her because, after the divorce, she chose to stay with her mother, so the room was just figurative and the teen version of Jeon Soyeon used it as a personal studio throughout her third year of high school —, the man leaves them to give them a little privacy and returns to the garage, where a problematic car part is waiting for him on the counter.
Like the hostess, the rapper helps Minnie to unpack her things and put them in the empty lockers, since her stay is no less than a whole week, and she ends up doing everything by herself because her friend is too busy taking everything old out of places to 'take a look', snooping through her old notebooks and notes and going to her room now and then.
"This is so cute, what is this?" The Thai girl asks.
Soyeon looks up from the clothes she is just folding to catch Minnie with her old music notebook in her hands, passing page by page like a curious five-year-old.
"It's nothing, just the lyrics I used to write when I was younger."
"Wah, Producer Jeon first hits?" Her eyes glow.
"Not even close to it, you clown."
Minnie laughs and puts the notebook back in the drawer, making a mental note to take a look at it later and see what can be recycled from there, before approaching the window and peeking at what is happening outside because the noise of a car parking attracted her.
