I stood in front of the body length mirror checking out my outfit. Black Vans, skinny jeans, white long sleeve shirt with two buttons undone leaving some of my cleavage exposed. My loosely curled hair flowed over my shoulders and mom had added light touches of make up to ‘bring out my cheek bones’. As I studied myself the ringtone I have set for Jennie went off and I rushed to answer it.
“You good?” I asked instead of giving a proper greeting.
“Yea.” she chuckled. “I just wanted to see if you were good.”
A tiny smile formed on my face as I sat down on my bed.
“I’m nervous, I’ve got the bubble guts, I’m all sweaty, I think this was a mistake.”
“Dahyun you can’t think like that. It’s just dinner.”
“Yeah dinner with my parents and girlfriend.” sighing dramatically I flopped down on the bed.
“Have you talked to Sana about how you’re feeling?”
“No the only time I’ve spoken to her was to send that text about tonight. Plus I don’t want her to worry.”
The doorbell rang and I groaned feeling the butterflies nose dive to the bottom of my stomach.
“I take that as my cue to get off the phone. Keep me posted okay?”
“I will.” Sana's laugh drifted upstairs sending an array of tingles throughout my body. “Oh and Jennie?”
“Yeah?”
“Happy New Year’s Eve babe.”
“Happy New Year’s Eve to you too Hyun. Love you. Now stop stalling and go see your fucking girlfriend.”
We laughed for a minute poking fun at each other before we said goodbye and I hung up just in time to hear a knock on my door.
“Come in.” I answered sitting up while I attempted to fix my hair. It cracked open and dads strong build slipped in my room. In black button up shirt that showed off his muscles, jeans, and dress shoes he stalked over to my bed and paused when he was a few feet away.
“She’s here.” he said with a smile.
“Yeah. I know.” I sounded less than enthusiastic.
Pulling his eyebrows together dad stepped closer to me with his hand stretched out. I took it, standing up to embrace him in a hug.
“It’s going to be fine.” he whispered against my hair.
“I know it is, I’m just nervous.”
“Somehow I think you’ll forget all about that once you see her or maybe not, it might make it worse.”
“What do you mean?” I asked, bringing my head back to look at him.
“You’ll just have to come downstairs and find out.”
I put on the chain with the key to Sana's place and without another word dad led me out of my room and down the stairs. I could hear Sana and mom talking in the kitchen and my heart sped up in my chest. She laughed again sending a series of shivers down my spine. It’s been so fucking long since I’ve seen her, heard that deep voice, watched her laugh, kissed her lips, that it feels like I’m meeting her outside of school for the first time again.
“Oh, I think I hear them.” mom said only growing the anxiety building inside of me.
“Hey.” dad whispered. My eyes met his and his smile was contagious. “You are going to be fine, we love her already.” and after placing a short kiss on my forehead we continued our descent.
