homecoming

... 1 year & 6 months later ...

Lily-Fold it to this side.., and then this side. I made it!

Lily exclaimed

Lily-Mama look! I made a bird origami
Naeun-You surely did! Where did you learn that?
Lily-From my origami book. Isn't it pretty? Can I put it in my room?
Naeun-Of course, do as you please honey

Zass!

Suddenly there was a bright light flashing through the window. Naeun almost dropped the things she was holding

Lily-Mama, isn't that..,
Naeun-Yy.., yes baby, I think so too. But I'm not sure

Naeun said lowly

"Everyone, they are here!"

Bomi screamed from downstairs. Naeun shot up from her chair right away and marched to down quickly

Chorong-Bomi, what is going on?
Namjoo-Right, I was startled for a moment
Bomi-You won't believe me
Eunji-What is it Bomi?
Naeun-Just tell us!

Bomi-I met Chanyeol!
All-What?!
Namjoo-Stop fooling around
Bomi-No, I'm not! He came to give this

Bomi handed a piece of invitation card

Chorong-What is this?

Chorong took it from Bomi and read the content. She gasped

Eunji-What is it about?
Chorong-Apparently all crisis in Ingrith are resolved, thanks to the flower that had been return

Everyone exhaled calmly

Naeun-Nothing else? What about Prince Kai?
Chorong-I bet he is fine. The Ingrith Royals are throwing a homecoming party this weekend. And we are invited

Creak!

Everyone turned around to the door. Hayoung walked inside a little bit flustered when everybody was staring at her

Hayoung-I., I'm home
Bomi-Hayoung ah!

Bomi ran up to Hayoung and clung on her arm

Bomi-You must be the happiest to hear about this
Hayoung-What is it?
Bomi-The Ingrith Royals invited us to their homecoming party. They finally open the door to everyone on earth!
Eunji-We should all go. It must be fun!
Hayoung-Uhm, no thanks

They were taken aback by Hayoung's cold response

Naeun-Are you not excited? You could see Seh..,
Hayoung-I don't think I am invited anyway. You guys can go, don't mind me

Hayoung strolled up the stairs to her room. The others only could look at each other, sighing

Hayoung just lied on her bed when someone knocked on her door. She called for the person to come in. Namjoo shuffled into Hayoung's room, sitting on the corner of her bed

Hayoung-Unnie, why?
Namjoo-You really don't wanna go?

She pouted like a baby, as if she was sulking with Hayoung

Hayoung-Oh, I don't want to
Namjoo-Hah, fine. Then I shouldn't go too. Good night then
Hayoung-Wait, why would you not go?
Namjoo-Because my dongsaeng said so. Nothing is fun to do when there's no you

Hayoung sighed

Hayoung-No, no, you have to go with the others
Namjoo-Then what? I was all by myself? Naeun and Lily would definitely be with Kai. Bomi even got special invitation to Chanyeol's house. Chorong? Eunji? They will definitely be with Suho and Baekhyun. I would be all alone then
