Haerin

Last night, a number not registered on my phone called. He introduced himself as Hyein's adviser and told me that today will be their distribution of report cards.

I asked him if it's alright even if it's not her parents that will get her report card since Hyein's parents are busy with their business and are far away from the city.

Well, there's just one thing I'm worried though. "After you see her grades, I would like to talk to you about it" what he said was not clear. I don't know if her grades improved or not. But let's just see.

After scrolling through my phone for a while, I slowly peeked below my bed to check on Hyein. "Still asleep eh?" Seeing her sleeping peacefully again made me a little happy since for the past weeks, she had no choice but to wake up early in the morning to go to school.

Before telling Minji-unnie to come with me to Hyein's school. The latter's blanket was a little bit off her, revealing her belly. So I pulled it up again to make sure that her whole body's covered and that she stays warm. "Sleep tight" I murmured and then kissed her forehead. If you're wondering why, I just did it since she looks cute while sleeping, nothing else.

Meanwhile, seeing Minji-unnie at home especially during the morning is a sight we don't see often since most of the time, she's outside for promotions and attending shows or even talking to people who has an offer for her. Of course our manager is with her all the time.

"Haerin? you're up early, you should sleep while there's still have plenty of time" Minji-unnie told me the moment our eyes met in the living room.

"Unnie, I'm sleeping for the whole day yesterday" I know that she's just worried about me. Our three oldest members especially Minji-unnie always treats me and Hyein like a princess. I don't know but there are times that she's giving us a mother-like vibe.

"I'll cook something for all of us, mind helping me here?" She asks while heading to the fridge.

"I don't mind, but how?" I hate to admit this but I don't know how to cook anything. Well, eggs and canned foods aren't counted though since I can cook those pretty well.

"For starters," Minji-unnie pointed behind me. "see the rice cooker there? Cook four cups of rice"

"Alright"

Ever since the incident of Danielle burning the rice happened, Minji-unnie immediately ordered a rice cooker the next day. Well, I don't see the point with cooking rice on the stove anyways. Using a rice cooker is always the best option for me.

So I'll just press the switch right? "Unnie, I'm done" doing this one simple thing makes me proud with myself.

Since it'll take some time before Minji-unnie finish cooking, I just went to the living room to watch some shows. It's boring anyways, and there's nothing left for me to do to help her. If only I could cook like her then I will have something to flex too. But, yeah.

Is there really no decent shows to watch during Saturdays? It feels like I already went through all of the channels but there's nothing good to watch. Almost all of them are variety shows and news which is so boring. I mean, who cares about news nowadays? People can see the news on their phones so easily.

Alright, if this next channel is also bad, I'll just turn this TV off.

"I gave a second chance to cupid" Oh, it's music bank and the group performing is.... Fifty Fifty? Is that a new group? The girl with the pink dress looks beautiful though.

"Cupid is so dumb" Dude, this song is so catchy. Might as well download it later. Wait, maybe streaming it will be better to support the group too since they look underrated. Time to follow them on my social media accounts.

Never thought that their twitter account doesn't even have a hundred thousand followers. Meanwhile, as I look for the names of the group's members, I suddenly felt someone's head on my shoulder. This scent, there's no doubt, it's Danielle.

"You're stunned by Aran right?" Asks Danielle as she starts to move her head from my shoulder to my lap. Did she ate something bad last night? Out of the blue, she's acting sweet with me again.

"Which one's Aran?" The two vocalists looks a lot like each other.

"The one with the pink dress, she's the same age as Minji-unnie" she lazily answers and then proceeds to close her eyes. "Let's stay like this until Minji-unnie's finished cooking. I had trouble sleeping last night"

"Why though?" Then I start to caress her hair. Thankfully, our hairstylist didn't make Danielle dye her hair again. Her natural black hair looks so good on her.

"I had a bad dream last night. When I looked at the mirror, I saw myself bald"

"Come on, that's hilarious" I can't contain myself from laughing. I guess she's worrying about her hair too much that it even made her dream about it.

-

After the five of us had finished eating, other than me, only Minji-unnie who's taking her vitamins and Hyein who's washing the dishes were left in the dining room.

"Hyein, why didn't you tell us that today's your school's card giving day?"

"How did....you know?" Hyein said as she slowly faces me. So she intentionally hid it from us then. Now I'm sure that she has a failing mark in one of her subjects.

"Card giving day? Do they need me to go to her school?" Minji-unnie said after drinking her water.

"If you want to, I can come with you"
Of course, I like to see Hyein's grades too. Danielle and Hanni-unnie were helping her study after knowing that she had bad grades last semester. There were even times that all of us stayed up all night just to help Hyein finish her piled up assignments which she ignored for a whole week. Although she was scolded by them after.

"Unnie, you two don't have to get my card. I know that all of you are busy and you should just focus on other things. Going to my school will be a hassle. Don't worry, I know that I aced all of the subjects so there's nothing to wory about" Hyein then gave us an awkward smile.

"What time is the start?" Minji-unnie straight up ignored what Hyein just
told us.

"Unnie, I told you, there's no need to-"

"What if, NO?"

"I'm done for" Hyein mumbled but it was loud enough for us to hear.

"Fine," Minji-unnie sighed. "If you get at least one B+ on your card, me and Haerin will grant you one wish"

What? Me?" Oh hell no! Who knows what Hyein will make me do. The last time I lost to her on a bet, she made me kiss her on her lips for ten seconds. Crazy right?

"That's a yes then, come one Haerin just this time. Please?" Well, it's not like I can reject Minji-unnie, she's too beautiful to receive rejection. Also, I don't think Hyein can get a B+ Last semester, her highest grade was a C- and had a lowest grade of D.

"Fine, I guess"
