My Happy Ending

Chapter 8

:::Sooyoung and Yoona’s house (morning):::

*Scribble, scribble, scribble, scribble.*

Sooyoung tapped her ball point pen thoughtfully on her desk as she screwed up her face in concentration.

“Ideal guy....Tall? Hah! With a girl her height, it won’t be a problem looking for a guy taller than her...Hates cucumbers? Meh. I’ll just make them lie about that....”

Yoona, who has busily munching on her cereal looked over her friend’s shoulder. “A list of the ideal guy....WOAH! And here I was thinking that you just hook-up with anyone available regardless of trait.”

“It’s not for me! We’re supposed to find the perfect partner for Jessica remember?”

“Oh yeah! I forgot you made a deal with her. What’ve you got so far?”

“Uhm...aside from tall and hates cucumbers...I don’t really have anything...” Sooyoung said sheepishly.

“You mean you’ve been sitting there for three hours and that’s all you wrote?!”

“Yah! With you chewing away at the background it’s hard to concentrate! Close your mouth, would you!? Besides, I made a drawing of Jessica, see?” Sooyoung showed a stick figure that barely resembled a person.

“Oh wow. What talent! You’ve obviously exerted a HUGE effort in drawing that.” Yoona said her voice dripping with sarcasm as Sooyoung went back to doodling.

*Scribble, scratch, scribble, erase.*

“Yah! This is too hard!” Sooyoung pulled her hair in frustration.

“You're only drawing, dummy! Why don’t you just ask Jessica yourself?” Yoona inquired stating the obvious.

Sooyoung suddenly perked up as she snapped out of her trance, “I know! Why don’t I just ask her myself?! I’m so brilliant!”

“Biggest lie of the century, that.” snorted Yoona as she rummaged through their cupboard for some cookies after inhaling her box of cereal.

“Let’s see....Sica’s number...There!” Sooyoung dialed and waited for the other line to pick up.

“Yah Jessica! Oh hey Tiffany! Is she there? Busy? Too busy for me?! Tell her to meet me at the SoNyu Cafe in an hour! Tell her she’s about to have a date with the most awesomest hottie ever!”

After much cajoling and a laughing Tiffany, Sooyoung ended the call casually looked over at the other shikshin.

“By the way, Seohyun called last night, you two need to plan the set for the wedding photoshoot.”

“Huh!? Why me?!” Yoona shouted in alarm dropping her cookies with her appetite gone in a few seconds.

“Because! I need to take Sica out on a “date.” Plus she specifically asked for THE Ms. Im Yoona. I think she’s into you.” Sooyoung said seriously before succumbing into a fit of giggles.

“B-b-but! You can’t leave me alone with her! She goes on and on about health and other scientific stuff that I haven’t even heard of! My brain’s leaking whenever she’s in front of me!”

“Come on! You two had a blast at Taeny’s wedding! She’s good for you! Keeps you from hooking-up with every damn girl you meet.”

“Says the girl who couldn’t even remember the names of her flings.”

“Hey! Names are so long nowadays.”

“I wouldn’t take your word for it. *Sighs* Okay...I’ll go with her...IF you give me that tub of gummy worms candy that you’ve kept under lock and key.
