"Wait, wait!" Now Yeseul was laughing really hard. "She actually threatened to kill his dog?"
She glanced sidelong at the girl sitting beside her. When Park Suji had unexpectedly burst into the cafe two hours, she had looked miserable and soaked to the bone.
She had cried almost the entire time, until Yeseul offered her a ride back up the mountain. Now her face was dry and positively radiant, with a glimmer of a smile on her lips. "I wish I could say I was joking."
Yeseul almost let go of the wheel. "That's inhumane! I swear, the woman is not human."
"I wouldn't be surprised. I had no idea she could be so evil. Oh, it's right here."
Yeseul pulled the Jeep up in front of a large house, with white Greco-Roman columns on the front porch. "Wow," she said flatly.
"Yeah." Suji seemed slightly embarrassed. "My parents are both big hot-shots at Apple, so...we move around a lot, but I always get free stuff." She waved her i0S.
"Are they home right now?" Yeseul asked, eyeing the darkened windows.
Suji shook her head. "They're on a business conference right now, so uh, yeah. I've got the house all to myself."
Yeseul glanced over again, studying her face. Suji's eyes were dim. Smiling slightly, Yeseul reached over and nudged her. "We should host a party sometime."
A small smile appeared. "Yeah, sounds like a plan."
As Suji prepared to get out, a thought occurred to Yeseul "Hey, do you want me to drive you down to school tomorrow?"
Suji blinked, like she hadn't thought of that. "I guess so. Could you?"
"Yeah, sure. I know where your house is now, and I've got an extra seat in my Jeep. I drive Nari, Saeron, and Mia every day anyway."
"Thank you." For the first time that night, Suji's face broke into a full-fledged grin. It almost took Yeseul aback, the girl really was lovely. "You're so kind, Yeseul"
"Ah, no," Yeseul blushed, waving her hand. "Just doing my civic duty, haha."
"No, I mean it. You and the other girls, and MiraeUnnie and her sister, and Gowon, all of you were so nice to me. I can't thank you enough."
"Well sure you can!" Yeseul leaned on the steering wheel. "Hang out with us from now on! We can do, like, a friend trade or something with Hyunji"
Suji laughed. Then Yeseul leaned a little too far on the wheel, causing the horn to honk and both girls to shriek. Giggling, Yeseul waved goodbye as Suji headed up the front steps and disappeared behind the door.
The familiar beep of her Nokia that signified she had an email made her jump, and she reached down to flip open the phone.
