"Unnies, thank you so much for coming! I'm so happy that you are all here to celebrate with me, even though tomorrow was the original celebration," Hyunseo tells us. The party just ended and everyone else already went home. Wonyoung then went to hug her.

"Awe. We would never miss it, kiddo," she broke the hug then suddenly looked at me. "Well, except for Rei over there of course," she added, making the rest of the girls laugh.

"Yah, I'm here, oh?" I sulked and glared at Wonyoung.

"Yeah, but if the celebration proceeded tomorrow instead, you'll definitely miss it," Gaeul-unnie joins then ruffled my hair. Yujin-unnie then came to my side and side-hugged me.

"Guys, don't make fun of Rei. She's gonna sulk like a baby until she goes home. Speaking of, how about I drop you at your house later on?" She asked and raised her eyebrows at me, as if wanting me to say yes.

"Uh...." I glanced at Liz who seem to not like the idea but kept mum about it. I turned to Yujin-unnie again and smiled a bit. "I think I'll have to pass for now, unnie. Thank you for the offer though."

That seemed to lighten Liz's face because she smiled widely while looking at the other direction, probably to hide her relieved facade.

Yujin-unnie pouts at my response, "You sure? But why? It's late, I need to make sure you're safe."

"You don't have to worry about me, unnie. Anyway, Liz will take me home."

This time, Liz snapped her head towards my direction as soon as she heard my words, her eyes wide open, probably because she was surprised that I said that. I winked at her and she began blushing hard. I chuckled. Human tomato Liz is back.

"Really?" She absentmindedly said but recovered in an instant, "Oh, yes! That's right! Plus, auntie is expecting me there as well, so... yeah, it's all good. Rei is better off with me tonight," she started sputtering words like a machine gun. I could only close my eyes tightly as she said those.

I heard Wonyoung and Hyunseo snicker at how much of a babbling mess Liz is right now.

"Okay?" Yujin-unnie utters slowly while looking at me and Liz back and forth with a confused face. "I guess Gaeul-unnie and Wonyoung should enjoy the service of the one and only An Yujin then?" She regained her self and smiled widely at the two girls.

"I won't say no to that, Yujin-ah." Gaeul-unnie says with a smile.

"Sorry, I'm staying here for tonight. Me and Hyunseo are gonna watch the new Barbie movie," Wonyoung shrugged and held a thumbs sign up to the maknae.

Then they all went back to help tidy up the place before going home. I went towards the living room and help the unnies but then a hand stopped me from doing so.

"That was kinda random, Rei-ssi," Liz turned me around to face her. She was grinning widely as if she just won a lottery. I made an annoying expression and shrugged.

"I knew you'd be oozing with jealousy if I agreed to what unnie offered. So, I just ended your misery," I smirked.

She pinched both my cheeks and cooed at me, like I'm some sort of baby.

"You made the right choice, little one. Because of that, I'll take you somewhere later before we go home." With that said, she disappeared towards the kitchen where Wonyoung and Hyunseo are tidying up. I breathed out and shook my head because of her dorkiness before helping the unnies at the living room.

Liz insisted that we leave earlier than the unnies, reasoning that we are just gonna walk home. Yujin-unnie once again offered us a ride, but this cat girl stubbornly refused.
