So it wasn't as bad as I expected it to be. Umma and appa took it more lightly than expected. Because in that next day, I am moving my stuff into my new home.

"Are you sure that you are ready to move?"
"Umma I will be fine, I promise!"
"But you are so far,"
"Umma this house is only 30 minutes away from your home!"
"But still..."

My umma is moaning like a child whereas I try to reason out with her. My appa is just staring at the brown boxes which were piled up and were placed in the corner of the small living room.

"Umma she will be fine," says Minsuh as she pops out of nowhere.

"And she is not a little kid, anymore," says appa as he mumbles the word 'anymore'.

"But she will always be a little kid to me," says umma as she pulls me into a tight hug nearly killing me. 

"Umma, appa, you will be late for your meeting," I pointed out as I look at the brand new clock which hangs above the living room door.

"Okay. Sweetie, we will go" said umma as she grabs her purse and applies the light pink lipstick.

"Bye umma, bye appa" I shout as I watch them head toward their white car.

"Bye!" shout Minsuh from behind as she stands next to me.

"Don't forget the promise," shout appa.

"Wouldn't,"
"Bye! Sweetie!
"Bye umma! Bye, appa!"

I shut the door close and watch them go from the window.

"What did he mean the promise?" asks Minsuh as she seats at one of the sofas.

"Well, for me to live here, there were some rules," I reply back.
"What were they?"

"Well, the first one is that I have to visit them every once a week. Second, no party until they are informed. And lastly, no boys."

"No boys?"
"Yeah, I can't have no boyfriend"

"But a boyfriend has nothing to do with the house!"

I shrugged my shoulders, as I didn't know the relationship between the house and a boyfriend myself.

"So when should we start?" ask Minsuh as she looks at the pile of boxes waiting to be unpacked.

"What about now?" I suggest as I head toward one of the boxes and unpack it.

"Okay. But first, let me put some songs on," she says as she turns her phone on and clicks on the melon app and heads toward her playlist. The first song which played was;

My blood, sweat and tears
My last dance
Take it away

BTS Blood, Sweat and Tears which has become my ultimate favourite after 'E', BOYs24 new song.

We sang as loudly as we could as we unpack the boxes and soon one by one those boxes starts to become empty. By the time, we have finished unpacking the boxes, the time was already 5 pm. Nearly, time for Minsuh to go.

"Here take this," I said as I hand her a can of drink
"What is it?"

"Vitamin drinks. It will boost your energy right up," I reply back as I sat on the sofa opposite of hers.

"So when are you going?"
"In about 30 minutes"
"Sorry for making you work"
"It's okay. After all, I owe you for allowing me to copy your notes  after I come back,"

Then it was a silence. But that was before a loud noise came from the next door. I got up and so did Minsuh as we stare out from the window. The next door seems to be having new neighbours moving in as well as trunks come in and unload their boxes and their suitcases. And one by one someone comes and collects the boxes and takes them inside. A total of 15 boxes!

"Wow, you are going to be having new neighbours,"

I nod slightly.

"They look hot"

I nod again.

"Maybe you guys could accidentally bump into each other and then a new friendship starts to bloom and then before you know it, boom, you guys are in love and then another guy comes in and tries to ruin your love life and that's not all but your lover is also hiding a deadly truth which could have an effect on your relationship. What are you going to do? Love him like you always did, or leave him because of the truth."

I turn my attention away from the window and look at my best friend who is just talking rubbish now.

"No more fan fiction for you," I command. 

"Come on, it could happen,"
"No way! And you need to stop with your fan fiction,"
"Never!!"

Then the next thing I know I am chasing after her and tackling her on the ground and giving her tickles which are her weakest point.

"St-op! S-t-o-p!" she manages to say in between them torture but I didn't stop and continue.

"Minsuh you have received a message!"
"Minsuh you have received a message!" 

"Soohee let go. I think it's my manager," say Minsuh.

I let her go and watch her as she picks her phone up and quickly types her password in and calls someone.

"Annghaseyo, unni.."
"Okay. You will be here in 10 minutes."
"Yeah, I am at Soobin new address"
"Yes, the one that I messaged you,"
"Okay. Thank you!"

"Unni is going to be here in 10 minutes," she says to me after she hangs up.

I nod.

"You got your suitcase packed?"
"Yeah,"
"You better bring me back something from Busan,"

"Promise!"

And like that the 10 minutes fly past and the front doorbell rings.

"It's time for me to go," she says as she grabs her suitcase and drags them to the car. A total of 3 2 suitcases and one handbag.

"So I will see you next week," I say as she pulls me into a hug.
"Yeah.."
"Bye! Have fun!"

"Sure. I will" and with that, she heads off and I watch her go. A whole week without her. But it's nothing new. I look at the house next door to see the trunk not being there anymore but there were still some boxes outside.

Then after a whole few minutes of staring, I headed inside.

Inside my new home.
