Chapter 31:..Happy Ending...

Chapter 31:HAPPY ENDING.!

3 years later

Joanna’s POV

I smiled till my jaws hurt at seeing Seoul for the first time in three years. I spent one year in Spain with Travis, another year in Los Angeles and we just returned from a year in London. What can I say? I surely missed this place! I missed the authentic Korean food that I’ve been craving for so many years!

I felt a pair of rough hands cover my eyes and my smile widened some more. I pulled the hands off and turned around, intertwining my fingers with them.

“Travis Rivera, the ‘never’ in never coming back here was only three years, huh?” I sarcastically said as he gave me a peck on my forehead.

I have to say, I don’t get what Andrea couldn’t see in Travis but saw in Shane. I didn’t expect this kind of ending between us but it just naturally came to us. At first we didn’t like each other, I often neglected him but then I realised I was playing another Shane and he was playing me. It was wrong and it was mean for me to treat him like that, especially when I understood how he was feeling even if we didn’t like each other that way. We then became friends and then friends with benefits and started to become attached with each other and eventually… well, it’s obvious.

In a time span of three years, I wonder if anything has changed. Of course feelings for Andrea and Shane still lingered amongst us, but we can live. We can get through it together.

“So, did you manage to get Nicole,May or Cindy’s numbers and addresses?” I asked as we walked towards COEX, hand in hand. It had been ten years since we last met, and I really missed them.

“If I managed to dig out so many secrets, what makes you think I can’t get that sort of simple stuff?”

I shrugged.

He always had his way with things, and even though I didn’t know how he did this stuff… I’m sure he only used them for good intentions.

“In fact, I actually called and arranged a meeting – and I’m sorry to say, they will be there too.” Siwon said with a cheeking smile plastered on his face. I laughed in return. “So when is it?”

“Right now!” He stood behind me and rushed me towards the closest Korean restaurant and waved to a couple of familiar faces. The rest of the restaurant was empty though, they probably reserved it for only us.

It was them all. The old crew and some fresher faces that I still recognised. Gabby,May,Mark,Nicole,Shane,Andrea,Matteo,Kylie,Tiffany,Chloe,Ryan, Yoona and Misty. There were also three unfamiliar faces. One was a teenage girl, couldn’t be older than 13 years old, another was a baby, maybe two or three old? And a man, which I supposed was the teenage girl’s dad because he seemed… old.

We approached them and Travis pulled out a chair in front of Nicole for me. He tucked my chaired in as I sat down and took the seat beside me before they all popped the party poppers.

“JOOOAAANNNNNAAA! It’s been so long, we missed you so much!” Nicole screamed with overwhelming aeygo with Cindy. I laughed at her never changing childishness. I really missed her.

“How can you guys of have just left us all hanging like that?” Gabby said, banging on the table as he attempted a scary face but it turned out relatively adorable.

“Whatever, our leave worked out well,” I said as I indirectly spoke about Shane and Andrea who sat side by side two seats away from me on the other side.

“Okay, let’s forget the past! We met each other, well most of us, when we were seven and then we drifted when we were seventeen, and finally we meet when we’re all twenty seven. Okay, minus the few… old people who had to just be twenty eight and ruin it all!” Cindy eyed Matteo and Shane  and we all laughed as the three got into a glaring battle.
