What Are They Doing In The Closet

Hey there! Just a quick heads-up - I completely forgot to update this part earlier.

My parents and I arrived at the Kim' place at exactly seven-ten in the evening. We were dressed formally, just like in church this morning but in different attires. My teeth chattered from the cold and I danced on the front porch to keep myself warm as we wait for someone to open the door.

I held the book that Minji wanted to borrow and stared at it seeing as it looked a bit old. I've read it a few times already, and I swear that somewhere in that book had wrinkled pages due to my tears falling from a dramatic scene.

"It's so cold!" I complained as I grabbed my mom's arm and pulled her closer to me. "I can't feel my legs."

The windchill hit my face and the impact made it sting a little bit. Finally, someone opened the door, and Minji's grandma welcomed us into their home. She's a surprisingly tall woman with a full head of white hair that's cut short just below her ears.

"Come on in, coats hang over there." Then she shook hands with my parents, and pulled my mom for a hug. They talked for a bit, and then my mom introduced me.

"Yes, yes, I've met your daughter in church this morning. A friend of Minji's?"

"Yes ma'am." I replied, nodding my head.

Then we made our way inside, where a great hall with marbled floors shone like never before, a chandelier placed on the middle of the ceiling and looking bright and elegant, then the people who attended reminds me of a British movie. I was in awe. Their house is beautifully designed, as if it's made for a movie.

I stepped further inside, and immediately saw Danielle with her parents who happened to talk to Minji's grandfather. As if she felt my presence, she turned her head and saw me, giving me a small smile as she excused herself and approached me.

"Hanni." My best friend Danielle greeted, her black dress looking very pretty on her and her blonde hair loose hanging around her shoulders.

Suddenly, what Jake told me about cutting her off of my life was reminded, and I got so terrified that I instinctively pulled her for a hug.

"Hi." I said, wrapping my arms around her hips and kept tears from falling. "Hi, Dani."

"Oh Hanni, can we talk?" Her voice soft and low in a comforting way.

"We can, and we will." I said, now pulling back and holding her hand.

And so we did.

Danielle talked about how she doesn't want to break up with Sunghoon, and that she's happy with him. But then she brought up that she knows that I dislike Sunghoon, and that she hoped that I can be civil around him. She also brought up that I should accept the fact that she's dating Sunghoon now, because it hurts her that I don't support her in a way.

Then I talked about Jake, and how her relationship with Sunghoon deeply hurt him, and the betrayal that has been done. Danielle then said that she was truly sorry, and that she couldn't do anything about it anymore. She tried hard to get along with Jake, but it seems as though that Jake has been ignoring her.

It made me feel a little bad because our friendship squad is again, falling apart. But then it made me wonder why Jake would all of a sudden be angry when he told me that he's 'over it' a few days ago. I'm over it. He had said. I frowned, now having suspicions that Jake isn't telling me everything. I respect that he wants to keep stuff all to himself but he's acting weird again.

"I hope you understand." Dani said, now sighing and looking so sad. "I don't want to fight."

"I don't either." I told her. "We'll sort this out, don't worry."
