Im Nayeon and Myoui Mina. The two were a package deal, where one was the other was not far behind. So, when the two doctors walked into the venue for their reunion, no one was surprised.
"Im Nayeon!" Jeongyeon spots her cousin, waving a hand, "Over here." She smiles.
"I see Jeongyeon hasn't changed." Mina whispers and Nayeon chuckles, the two weaving through the tables, greeting some old classmates along the way.
"Long time no see Jeong." Mina greets Nayeon's cousin.
"Minari! It's been a while." Jeongyeon gets up hugging the girl, "I heard you and Nayeonnie are working at the same hospital."
"Yeah we are." Mina begins to talk to Jeongyeon, the two catching up after not communicating since high school. Jeongyeon had moved back to South Korea for college and over time the two just lost contact.
"You two actually came." A woman smiles at the two, taking the empty seat in front of Mina and Nayeon.
"Oh Lalalisa!" Nayeon greets happily pulling the girl in for a hug.
"Surprise!" Lisa greets, letting Nayeon go and then pulling Mina in for a hug too, "I missed you two dorks." Lisa pulls them all in again for a group hug this time.
"You told me you weren't coming when I texted you." Nayeon whines.
"I wanted it to be a surprise." Lisa chuckles.
"Ah so that's why you were so pushy about me coming." Nayeon looks at Jeongyeon who throws a peace sign up with a wide grin, "See, told you it'll be fun."
"Are you here for vacation or are you moving back? Ahh it's been so long Lisa-yah." Nayeon and Mina were so happy to see the tall girl.
"I'm here for work but depending on how things are it might be a move back."
"Really!" Mina speaks up, excitement in her voice.
Lalisa Manoban or Lisa as she liked to be called, was aside from Jeongyeon, the only other person that Mina and Nayeon let into their small circle. The girl moved from Thailand to Japan in high school and with Mina being top of the class was tasked with helping the new girl adjust.
Lisa was the exact opposite of Mina who was soft spoken or Nayeon who although friendly and bubbly mostly spent her free time with Mina, Jeongyeon, or both. Lisa on the other hand, was energetic, bubbly, she made friends with everyone. After a few days at school, Lisa practically knew everyone by name, but still Lisa would spend her lunches, breaks, and any extra free time outside of class with Mina and Nayeon. They're best friends.
"Wahh look at our Minari so excited." Lisa coos, reaching over to pinch Mina's cheeks, "Ahh...let go of my cheeks Lalisa." Mina glares and Lisa chuckles, eventually letting go after a few more light tugs, "Maybe you should just go back to New York." Mina deadpans while rubbing her cheeks.
"Ouch, what happened to my softy, Nay what did you do?" Lisa playfully side-eyes Nayeon. While the three joked and caught up with each other there was another person at their table who was staring intently at Mina.
"AH! MYOUI!" the girl slams her hand on the table, practically screaming the name causing the others to look their way.
"Yes?" Mina turns to the girl, her face familiar, but couldn't quite remember her name.
"Uhm nothing, I just...it's good to see you."
"Yeah. uh. I'm sorry, but."
"Jihyo. Park Jihyo. I don't think our schedules matched up, but how can I forget the Myoui Mina, our class's one top genius." Jihyo chuckles.
