*Monique*

Monica, wakey wakey! Monica sensei wake up, don't you miss me? Mina said while shaking me.

I miss you dude, I really do but let me sleep, please.

Don't you have work today?

I don't work on weekends. I said groggily.

Let me check your phone to make sure. Anata wa konshū-sue ni shigoto o shite imasu (You do work on weekends now). Mina continued.

Dōiu imidesu ka? (What does it mean?) I asked still eyes closed.

Anata no mēru o chekku, baka! (Check your email, idiot!) Mina said throwing my phone in my stomach.

Ouch, Mina! I swear, one of these days Am gonna kill you. I said while checking my inbox.

Damn it. I cursed. Did you eat breakfast?

Not yet, I am waiting for you. Let's go and have breakfast. Mom and dad and the kids are in the dining already.

Joh-eun achim nae salang! (Good morning my loves!) I shouted while entering the kitchen. Mina smacked my head, why did you do that?

Stop shouting, too early for that. She commented.

You're speaking Korean now? My mom asked.

Nope, that's the only Korean I know. I chuckled. My dad shook his head. Once I am done kissing everyone, we started eating breakfast. Mina and Mom cooked fried rice, bacon, eggs, and sausages with hot coffee and hot chocolate for kids.

This is the best breakfast ever! I shouted.

Unnie, you are too noisy. Zoe complained.

See, even Zoe is annoyed with you. Mina said while giving a high five to Zoe.

You don't have school?

No, Unnie. We are on break. Emma answered.

When are you going back to the US?

Dad said you will travel with us before school starts.

I am what? When did I agree to that? I looked at my Mom and Dad.

Just do it, it's your brother's request. Dad commented.

Mom, Dad don't you have work today? I asked.

We don't work on weekends. They said in unison.

But, why do I have a schedule today? I asked them and everyone is laughing at me.

Stop complaining, go now, and start working. Dad said still laughing.

You're making fun of me. I pout.

Honey, no one is making fun of you. You don't want to be late, right? Mom said.

Fine, I said still pouting.

Move your lazy ass now, I will drive you. Mina said. Don't ask me the same question, I don't work on weekends and besides, I am now the CEO I can do whatever I want. She said with a smirk on her face.

Where is your car? Dad asked.

Lisa used it last night. She was here.

Why she was here last night? Does she know? Mom asked.

Because she is my friend? And no she doesn't know.

Are you asking us or are you telling us that she's your friend? Dad said chuckling. You have other cars, let Mina rest.

It's fine Dad, mom. I need to see Monica in action. Mina said wiggling her eyebrows.

Everyone here in the house is annoying, except for Emma and Lukas. Bye guys! I love you.

I love you too. They all replied in unison.

What is the schedule today? Mina asked.

10 am to 12noon dance practice with IKON. 1 pm break and then 2 pm to 5 pm dance practice with Blackpink. We have an hour to spare, lets's go grab a coffee in the cafe. I said.

Again??

Coffee is life, remember that. I said while dragging her inside the cafe. After we order, I dragged her again on our way to the studio. I was on call and Mina is playing while we are waiting for the 10 am schedule.

*Jisoo*

Geu Monikeu-inga? (Is that Monique?) I asked the girls. They all turned to where I am pointing at where Monique dragging someone to go with her while holding a cup of coffee. Geunyeowa hamkkeissneun salam? (Who is with her?) I continued.

Ne, Monikeu unnie ibnida (yes, that is Monique) geuligo geugeos-eun geunyeoui gajang chinhan chingu-ibnida (and that is her best friend), I think her name is Mina.

How did you know? Rosé asked.

Remember, I was there last night and she let me drive her car. Lisa commented.

Her best friend is the CEO? Come on, let's follow them, said, Jennie.

We found Monique and Mina in studio 10. Monique is talking to someone in French, while other is busy playing in her PSP. We got their attention when Lisa suddenly shouted, "yah, I miss you Monique unnie!" We are embarrassed about what she did. Monique and Mina both look in our direction and the four of us wave mostly at Monique. She ended her call a few moments later and she walked towards our directions.

Hey guys. She greeted us shyly. What are you doing here?

We saw you outside the cafe and Jennie said we should follow you. Lisa said directly.

Rosé smacked Lisa's head. Ouch! She said.

We just wanted to say hi. Jennie immediately commented.

Neo yeogiseohagoiss-eo? (What are you doing here?) I asked her. She looked at us helplessly and then turn her head to Mina.

You are hopeless. Mina commented while laughing.

Jisoo unnie is asking what are you doing here. Rosé translated.

Oh, thank you Rosé. I have a dance practice today until 12noon with IKON. I am sorry, I am not good with my Korean. She said blushing.

Yeah, you sucked. Mina remarked still laughing.

Why don't we have lunch together after your practice? Right Jisoo unnie? Lisa suddenly suggested.

Eh? I said confused.

Right, see you later at lunch Monique unnie, said Rosé.

Sure, I would love that.

See, she loves having lunch with us, Jisoo. Jennie said wiggling her eyebrows. Monique smiled and waved at us while walking away from the studio.

What just happen? I mutter to myself.
