"Ella!!" Miran screamed her best friend's name when she spotted the figure of the red-haired girl walking with a suitcase.

"Maple!" Ella's eyes went wide and she ran to Miran to give her a big hug. They both laughed when they made the contact.

"How are you? How was the flight?" Miran asked as she pulled away from her and grabbed the suitcase from her.

"It was tiring!" Ella groaned and threw her hands in the air as she dragged her feet. "I'm so thankful I landed."

"That's great." Miran smiled while walking in the parking lot.

"How did you come?"

"I came in my grandparents' car." Miran unlocked the car and opened the trunk to put the suitcase.

"I'm so excited to meet them!" Ella clapped her hands and ran to sit in the passenger seat. "Oh, how I missed being your passenger princess?"

"True. I also missed my princess." Miran sat in the driver's seat and closed the door. She started the car and pulled the gear. "You sure you are comfortable in staying with my grandparents?"

"Of course!" Ella pulled down the belt and buckled it up. "I'm getting a free place to sleep and they also own a restaurant? Wow. Free food. Also, they are your grandparents. I'm sure I'm excited."

"Just be careful of my grandmother." Miran drove the car outside the airport's parking and on the road. "My grandfather is more chill."

"I see." Ella nodded and turned on her phone to connect with the car radio. "So, how's life going here?"

From then, they started catching up with their things. The car was filled with loud laughs and inside jokes at which they almost cried from laughing.

"When are we going to arrive?" Ella whined. "I thought your grandparents lived near the airport."

"We are going to my house." Miran glanced at her for a moment with a smile.

"What..."

"I'm living on rent."

"NO WAY GIRL-"

"Welcome!" The three girls greeted the foreigner that just entered their house.

"H-Hello." Ella blinked in surprise and bowed to them. "My name is Ella Smith."

"You know Korean?" Eunseo gasped and went to her. "That would be very easy for us!"

"Miran's mother taught me the basics." Ella smiled and went to sit on the sofa. The three of them introduced themselves to her.

"You are so beautiful, especially your red hair." Hyunmi complimented her. "Are they naturally red and curly?"

"Yes!" Ellla nodded.

"She looks like Merida. She is so pretty." Eunseo giggled as she sat beside Ella.

"You all are so-" Ella grabbed her cheeks while smiling shyly.

"We Koreans don't hesitate to compliment a beautiful person." Hyunmi sat down on the ground. "We threw compliments on Miran for her eyes as soon as she entered the dorms."

"I see." Ella nodded.

"Are you here to travel?" Hyunmi tilted her head.

"I'm here to attend a fan meet event!" Ella looked at Hyunmi with wide eyes. "I happened to her hands on the tickets. I also got an excuse to meet Miran."

"She is here to go to the event, not me." Miran rolled her eyes.

"Come on, don't say that! You know I also love you!" Ella poured.

"Whose fan meet are you attending?" Isak raised her hand.

"Seventeen."

Silence.

"Oh-" Eunseo covered her mouth as the three girls looked at each other.

"Is there something wrong?" Ella tilted her head.

"N-No. We are also Carats but couldn't get our hands on the tickets." Hyunmi managed the situation like always.

"Guys, I'm going to meet Wonwoo." Miran was still standing and was looking at her phone.

"Where?" Ella turned to Miran.

"That friend I told you about. He is very busy and barely gets time to even say hi in person. We are meeting just in the convenience store. I'll buy some snacks. Bye." And she disappeared.

"Wow, look at her ditching me like this." Ella sighed and crossed her arms.

"You know about that friend?" Hyunmi's smile dropped a little.

"Jeon Wonho?" Ella spoke the same name that the other three heard from Miran. "Yes, she has talked about him."

"Listen!" Eunseo suddenly stood up and went closer to Ella. She leaned forward. Ella moved back. Eunseo grabbed the sofa head and trapped Ella in between her arms.

"Are we going to kiss?" Ella nervously looked at Hyunmi.

"That person is not Jeon Wonho." Eunseo said with a serious face. "He is Jeon Wonwoo."

"Oh? What a coincidence. There is someone from Seventeen named-" Eunseo cut Ella in the middle.

"Yes, Jeon Wonwoo from Seventeen. He is the person that she is meeting him."

Another round of silence.

"WHAT?!" Ella screamed and covered her mouth in shock. "What are you talking about??" She shouted in English.

"Speak in Korean." Hyunmi pointed.

"What are you talking about?" Ella repeated her words but in Korean.

"That girl just doesn't have any idea that he is an idol." Eunseo pushed herself away and sighed. "Don't speak a word and let us talk."

"Okay."

Hyunmi, Eunseo, and Isak explained what happened on the day of moving in. They also told them about what they had discussed earlier.

"You got a point." Ella nodded. "Fine. I won't say a word about it to her."

"Thank you." Hyunmi and Ella sighed.

"And Wonwoo likes Miran romantically." Isak dropped another bomb.

"OH MY GOD! LET ME REGISTER THE OLD INFORMATION FIRST!" Ella stood up and screamed. "You are saying that THE Jeon Wonwoo is going to date my best friend??"

"We don't know about the date. Miran's feelings are still unknown to us for now but Wonwoo made it obvious because of his eyes." Isak pointed at her eyes. "I have sharp eyes."

"You are Lee Isak, right? Miran has told me about you." Ella sighed and grabbed her head. "That's too much information."

"Take your time." Hyunmi gave her a thumbs up.

"By the way, I'm surprised you speak Korean so well." Eunseo clapped her hands. "Wonderful."

"Miran's mom mostly talks in Korean to keep her culture going. I've been friends with Miran since elementary school because we were neighbours. I knew Korean even before I knew about K-pop." Ella laughed.

"COOL!"
