Girl, Get up.

Chapter 28

Jin was right. The next few months for Minji were hell. After her parents had left a few months ago, Jin explained to her everything that her father wanted her to do at the company. She had to drop from a few of the clubs that she was in to make time for her new schedule. She's even had to cut her hang outs with Hanni and Yunjin because of the work that she has been doing.

Minji has been on autopilot for a few months now and finally has some down time on her hands, she stretches and looks at her phone, a few more weeks and she'll be done with her first year of high school. She looks at the calendar again and sighs, the months before her flew by. She missed her brother's graduation in February and has missed Hyein's first day of High School that started in March.

Minji remembers calling Taehyung two days before her flight to Korea to apologize that she wasn't going to make it.

Jin's company has struck a deal with a major Japanese company and her father wanted her to be part of the milestone and for her to show face to the other executives that are coming. She explains to Taehyung that she really wanted to be there but she couldn't because of the deal. She could hear her brother sigh as he told her that he understood and that she better make it up to him when she comes to visit during her summer vacation.

Another important event that Minji missed was Hyein's first day of High school, she was on a group call with Hanni, Yunjin and Hyein as her little sister excitedly tells them her first day of High School.

"I wish I was as excited as you when I started high school" Yunjin tells Hyein on the phone.

"It's a trap. Don't do it" Hanni yells on the phone

"I still can't believe that Hyein will be in the same grade as us for a few months though, Man, I need to move to Korea. This is ass" Yunjin says as she continues to complain about still being in her first year of high school out here when she could've been in her second year already if she was in Korea.

"With the way you study? You barely passed middle school out here, imagine if you were in Korea. Dani told me that they go hard there" Hanni says to Yunjin. Hanni and Dani have rekindled their friendship after Hanni explains to her what happened. She recounts as Hanni told them that the box that she had where all of Dani's letters contained were left at her house in Australia and were never packed with the moving truck. She had asked one of the caretakers of their house if they had seen the box and they immediately gave it to her, they had even put some of the letters that Dani sent out that Hanni never received. Hanni thanks them and immediately calls up Dani to tell her that she has found the box and she finally received her letter.

"Oh yeah? Did Dani also tell you that you're whipped for her?" Yunjin snarky tells Hanni

"I still can't believe that you just finally asked them about the box after all these years, you could've rekindled your friendship a long time if you had just asked them. With the amount of times you've gone back to Australia too" Hyein says to Hanni, she remembered when Dani told her her side of the story and how Dani was furious at Hanni for not even looking for the box in the first place when she would visit her old house.

"In my defense, i didn't start going back to Australia until recently and also I didn't know if she wanted me to contact her after all these years, she could've forgotten about me" Hanni tries to explain her side to the girls.

"I literally had to listen to you cry about your childhood crush for years. I don't want to hear it" Yunjin tells Hanni, Hanni just whines at Yunjin to shut up.

"Distance makes the heart grow fonder" Minji finally says to the group, she's been quiet this whole time. They forgot she was even on the call.

"Is that what you tell yourself so you could sleep better at night while you're missing Haerin?" Hyein asks her sister, Hanni and Yunjin both laugh and Minji frowns.
