Visual goddess Minju

Minju: Jahoon! Come here!

I sat up on the couch and rubbed my eyes. I didn't get really much sleep last night because of my individual schedule and since I don't want to disturb Minju and Yujin, I decided to sleep on the couch in the living room. I dragged my feet to the dressing room, to receive a black dress right in my face. Her sweet smell was on it.

Jahoon: hhhmmphfh.

Minju: What did.... OH! I'm sorry, I'm so sorry.

Jahoon: That was actually fine, it smelled nice.

Minju: Pervert...

Minju slapped my arm lightly. A pink tint appeared on her cheeks. She turned around fastly on her heels, going back to her mess of clothes. I took one of her scarves, the one that I gave her for our first Christmas together, and wrapped it around my neck. I sniffed the scarf and smiled to myself. Minjoo had this vanilla and rose scent, that I love and would never be tired to smell the scent.

Jahoon: Why did you call me all of sudden?

Minjoo: Do you remember what date today is?

I pulled my phone out and looked at my home screen. The home screen said 7 a.m. 20 august 2020... 20 august....

Jahoon: We met each other today 5 years ago! Is it our friendship anniversary. We met each other in the 8th grade in elementary school. Since I just moved to South Korea alone, I didn't have any acquaintances. No one wanted to be my friend since I was a lot older than them, since I had to go some extras years in school to smoothen my korean. You were my first friend I made here and I'm happy that it was you.

I hugged Minjoo tightly and closed my eyes tightly. I didn't want to cry in a happy moment but in the end, tears fell down my cheeks. Minjoo hugged me even tighter, comforting me by combing my hair with her right hand. She turned her face slightly to the right to kiss my right cheek. Then all of sudden, the door to the dressing room flew open, revealing Yena standing confidently straight up with her hands on her hips. Before she could say anything, I threw her over my shoulder and walked to the living room. I threw Yena onto the couch before running back to Minju and locked the door behind me. I sighed and leaned with my back onto the door. I and Minju made eye contact before we burst out laughing. I shook my head and walked back to Minju's embrace.

Minju: Do you remember the first gift you ever gave me?

Jahoon: Of course I remember. How could I ever forget it?

I showed Minju my right hand and pointed on my ring finger, smiling lovingly at her. The first gift I had ever given to Minju, as well to another mankind, was the gold and silver ring with our initials on it. A ring that I had given to her after only meeting her for 3 months. A ring that I have never taken it off since then. A precious memory that I cherish with my life. I intertwined my right hand with hers, feeling the ring connecting like the last piece in a puzzle.

Minju: Since we don't have any schedule for today, I want to go out and create some more memories with you. Only you... but I can't find any nice clothes to wear.

Jahoon: Minju, you amazingly, stunning beautiful in any kind of clothes.... even witho- ouch!

Magically a pillow appeared in the bedroom and made face to face with me. I looked at her with wide eyes and my mouth agape before chuckling. I walked over to the fort of clothes and began to dig into it. After a while, I took an outfit out and showed it to Minju with the brightest smile ever.

Jahoon: Do you remember this outfit Minju? This was the first casual outfit you had on, on our first outing together. Why not wear this for today's outing since it is our friendship anniversary after all.
