It was Saturday, a day before Christmas, and Nova was part of the lineup for the typical Christmas day festival, so the company decided to rehearse early morning so the girls could, at least, have the Christmas Eve afternoon free. To take advantage of their precious time, each girl planned to do something different.

Haneul was visiting a childhood friend since her parents were not able to come down to Seoul, Jenn went out with some of her idol friends to a trendy place every teenager goes to and Misuk was having her parents and Jiwon over since no one was going to be at the dorm.

She had everyone's gifts placed underneath the christmas tree Hana put up for the girls and she was all prepped up in some nice decorative pajamas. That was one tradition her family adopted from living in the US.

"Your elevator is scary as fuck" Jiwon said as soon as she walked inside. "And happy Christmas Eve!"

The only thing difference between teenager Baek Jiwon and adult Baek Jiwon was her hair. Long black hair to a blonde bob. She was the same witty girl as always.

"Happy Christmas Eve" Misuk whispered to her parents as she hugged both of them at the same time. "I missed you."

Misuk gets extremely nostalgic every time there's a holiday that requires a lot of people she loves being together. So like every single one of them.

Leaving America was not fun for her and since she had no one else to relate to as a result of being an only child, her parents always tried their best to give her what she deserved, not only material stuff. The Kim family was small but their bond was like no other.

"Mother, Father, come here! Look at your daughter's room! It's a mess!"

And Baek Jiwon strikes again.

"I swear to God" Misuk mumbled. She was bringing the food her mom brought to the kitchen. "Jiwon! Stop whatever you're doing!"

The girl ran to her bedroom and found the trio going through her stuff, staring intensely at everything she owned. Misuk noticed her mom glaring into a very recent photo booth strip of Sunghoon and her and she knew exactly what was going to happen next.

"Isn't this the guy you were in love with in high school!? The figure skater! He's an idol also, right?"

"Yes!" Jiwon answered for her, taking the pictures out of Mrs. Kim's hand. "Don't they look like a couple? So cute."

Misuk's dad rolled his eyes. "We haven't even met the guy, what do you mean couple?"

"We don't need to meet him, my love" Mrs. Kim stated. "I think I know everything about him. Hasn't Misuk been in love with him for like, what? 6 years?"

Misuk wanted to be suck by a black hole.

She has been ignoring Sunghoon since the phone call happened so hearing her mom said that really hurt her pride. She was too embarrassed to even apologize, how can she ever confess?

"You still haven't talked to him, right?"

"I can't" she said, kissing Jiwon's cheek. "I'm glad you are here."

Jiwon was a very busy girl. She was fully dedicated to her academic life, especially since her practices were about to start. Studying medicine wasn't for the weak so whenever they had a chance to be together, Misuk was extremely clingy. Like the old days.

Misuk wanted the afternoon to feel exactly like the old days. These were some of the only moments where she was just Mimi, a normal girl from New York and she missed that from time to time. She couldn't believe how fast it went by though.

"Oh my god, I told you! Everyone is still here, hello!"

A very excited Jenn turned around and signaled for someone to come close, Misuk had no idea what was about to happen. Her eyes widened up like saucers when she saw Sunghoon and Haneul next to the British girl.

Haneul mouthed an "i'm sorry" while staring at the oldest but Misuk wasn't even looking at her. She was fully concentrated on the guy, but he was completely avoiding making eye contact so she thought the worst. He finally hated her.

"Sunghoon-ssi, are we finally meeting you?"

That's when she remembered her parents were still present.

Well, this was going to be an eventful night.
