"Ryujin sweetie, can you run some errands for me?" Mrs. Shin asked one of her daughters.
"Sure eomma, what do you need?" Ryujin asked as she puts her phone in her pocket.
"Can you buy these for me? I can't go to the grocery today because I have work to do. Is it okay Ryujin?" her mom asked
"It's fine mom, anything else?" Ryujin asked
"Oh Ryujin, I thought you were supposed to hang out with Chae-" their dad got cut off when Yuna showed up and covered her dads mouth
"Don't mention it appa" Yuna whispered and her dad just chuckled and nodded
"I'll go with unnie" Yuna said as she gets her wallet
"Great, you two can get whatever you like okay? Is Rosé around?" their mom asked
"She said she went on a date with Jisoo unnie, she might be back by 8:00" Yuna said and their parents nodded
The two went our and Yuna just sighed. Her sister looks lifeless, all Ryujin could do all day is stay in her room, today they visited their parents since they got half day of school and no one else will be staying in their dorm.
Ryujin would go out from time to time, only if Yeji asks her to play with her or its either she is forced to go out by Lia or Yuna.
"You know you shouldn't have done that" Ryujin suddenly said
"What?" Yuna asked confused
"Telling appa to keep quiet" Ryujin said
"But unnie its about-" Yuna was cut off by Ryujin
"Can we not talk about it Yuna, I've been in a bad mood recently" Ryujin said
"Arasso" Yuna responded sadly and then just followed her sister to the grocery.
They were going through every aisle, making sure that the list their mother gave was all done. When they got finished, Yuna asked Ryujin if they can have a quick snack outside since its just the two of them today. Ryujin didn't mind, it was her sister after all.
When they got inside a small café Yuna noticed that Chaeyeon and Chaemin were there s she decided that she and Ryujin should join them
"Why did you dragged me here?" Ryujin whispered to Yuna
"Just shut up and order something" Yuna said back and Ryujin just went off and ordered for them.
"Hi Chaeyeon unnie, Chaemin" Yuna greeted
"Oh hi Yuna, well, what's with Ryujin?" Chaeyeon asked
"She's having a bad mood again, since last week" Yuna said and sighed
"How about Chaemin?" Yuna asked
"Same as well, trying to cheer her up but she just won't" Chaeyeon said and sighed
Ryujin then came back with their order and then just listened to Chaeyeon's and Yuna's conversation.
"I mean like, its very hectic again, I was tired from all those school works" Yuna complained
"Well, life is that way, you still have about next year Yuna, still have a lot of time to get ready" Chaeyeon said and Yuna nodded. Agreeing with the elder's words.
"Look at the time, its almost late" Chaeyeon said
"Come on Chaemin, we have to go home" Chaeyeon said
"No! not until Chaeryeong unnie comes, she promised me" Chaemin whined
"Lee Chaemin, I don't want you to be throwing a fit in public, we're going home with or without Chaeryeong" Chaeyeon said with a hint of anger.
"But unnie, Chaeryeong unnie promised that whenever they have half day she would spend time with us just like Yuna unnie and Ryujin unnie. We should have sisters time and why isn't she coming today?!" Chaemin reasoned.
Chaeyeon felt bad, she knows that Chaeryeong would know better but she went out with Minjun.
"I'm really sorry Yuna, Ryujin, Chaemin is just having a bad day, she needs some rest already" Chaeyeon said and the two nodded. Understanding the elder.
"Sorry Chaemin okay? your Chaeryeong unnie is just busy, I'm sure she'll be home later to hang out with us" Chaeyeon reassured her sister
"Okay but can we hang out with Ryujin unnie and Yuna unnie for a while?" Chaemin asked
"Is it okay girls?" Chaeyeon asked
"It's fine unnie" Ryujin said, at last she spoke for the whole time they were together.
They all went out of the café and walked around the park. Since Chaemin wanted to play around with the mini game stalls, Ryujin volunteered to be with Chaemin and Chaeyeon and Yuna just followed them.
"Come on Chaemin, we can have sister bonding next time" Chaeyeon said and sighed
"Thanks for hanging out with us Ryujin and Yuna" Chaeyeon said and smiled
"No worries unnie, see you at school" Yuna said and waved goodbye.
"Are you going somewhere else Ryujin unnie?" Yuna asked
"Probably going to Rosé unnie's studio. I'm gonna chill there for a while" Ryujin said
"Can I come along?" Yuna asked
"Eh, sure, but don't mess with me that much" Ryujin said and Yuna nodded happily.
When they reached the studio, Rosé was there just chilling as well.
"I thought you were on a date?" Yuna asked
"She just dropped me over here, we got done with the date" Rosé said and smiled
"I'll just chill here and watch you guys" Yuna said
Ryujin then took the vacant seat and grabbed her guitar.
"Want to sing?" Rosé asked and Ryujin nodded. She wanted to let out her worries again, you can say that this was one of her safe places.
(let's pretend Ryujin is singing this)
(title of song: Without You by Aj Rafael)
Ryujin let out a big sigh after singing the song but she closed her eyes for a while trying to calm herself more. Rosé just smiled and was goad that her cousin was able to let out some stress.
"That was nice" Ryujin heard which caused her to open her eyes looked at the person by the door. It was Yeji and Lia.
"The hell?! why are you guys here?" Ryujin asked
"I know this place okay?" Lia said and chuckled as she stepped in
"Hey girls" Rosé said and giggled.
"You were great unnie" Yuna said with a thumbs up while smiling at her older sister
"Thanks Yuna" Ryujin said and let out a small chuckled
She thought that even though Chaeryeong doesn't spend that much time with her, there was still Yuna, Yeji and Lia there to be with her when she needs to, even her cousin Rosé
"Let's try different songs, Yeji knows how to play the guitar as well" Lia said
"You know how?" Ryujin asked and Yeji nodded.
They all gathered around and started playing and singing to songs.
