Food and Them

Chapter 57: Back again

Suddenly,Sandy's phone vibrate. Somebody wants to facetime with her but it is from an unknown number. Sandy answers and her tears automatically spills.

"SALLYYYYY!!!!"

Everyone stop walking and turn to Sandy.They ran to her. It is Sally facetiming them.

"JINJJA?! SALLY-ahhh!!!" shouts DongWoon.

"Annyeonghaseyo!" a tearful Sally greets them.

All of them didn't say anything at first because they are overwhelmed by their feelings.

"Sally-ah...bogoshipoyo..." sobs Sandy.

"Mianhaeyo...I miss you too...I miss all of you..." cries Sally.

SeungHyun placed his hands on her arm. Sandy is sobbing hard and she look down so that her bestfriend will not see her tears.

"Sandy-ah...look at me...jebal..." says Sally in between her sobs.

Sandy lifts up her head and look at her bestfriend. She cries harder and she ran off. The boys were shocked and quickly ran after Sandy. They stopped running when they saw Sandy hugging somebody beside B2ST's van.

"Annyeong Oppa..." says Sally with a sad smile.

Sandy didn't let go of her best friend. Sally walks towards them. The boys stun and just look at Sally.

"I know..I am suppose to lose weight but nope.."

All of them smile hearing that. DongWoon approaches her and hugs her tightly.Slowly,one by one hugs her. The last two,Yoseob and JiYong were crying like nobody business. They did a group hug. All of them still can't believe that Sally is back.

"Shall we go to my house and talk?" asks JiYong.

All of them agreed. Sandy pulls her bestfriend towards SeungHyun's car. The boys grumble.

"Let them be. All of us are going to the same place,aren't we? We will have our turn,"says DooJoon.

"I am angry at you but I miss you so much!" says Sandy.

Sally smiles and starts to update Sandy what had happen for the past 5 months. SeungHyun listens to their conversation and laughing to himself hearing his girlfriend's nagging. After an hour of journey,they reached JiYong's place. After settling down and wiping off their tears,they sat down and talk. B2ST and BigBang and HyunSeung filled her in with things that had happen in the last 5 months.

"You won't be leaving us again right?" asks Seungri.

"Wae?"

"JiYong hyung went crazy when you left. It takes Yoseobie and DooJonie to calm him down..." before he finishes his sentence,JiYong punches him on his arm.

"Hopefully I won't be doing that...again..."

"What happen?Why didn't you reply our messages?You promise to update us when you reach Singapore!Why leave us hanging for 5months?"bombards GikWang with questions.

Sally smiles as the boys look so eager to know the answer.

"Firstly, my handphone decides to plunge into the water," says Sally calmly.

"But you can DM or PM us or Sandy on social media using computers at any internet cafe," says JiYong in frustration.

"Yah! She was in hospital! How can she do all that when she is recuperating!" shouts SeungHyun.

SeungHyun sudden outburst made everyone stun. Sandy calms him down.

"SeungHyun Oppa,gwaenchana. Indeed I was recuperating but I promise to update all of you,didn't I? I'm sorry. After the operation,I was well and able to move. I even went to Singapore theme park. But after that, the pain started again and I went back to the hospital. And I was warded and I went into coma. I am sorry for not updating all of you as I promise," says Sally calmly as her tears forming up.

Silent. Trying to brighten the situation,Sally reached for something from her bag.

"Actually...I got this for all of you," says Sally as she pass a customise bracelet and a postcard.

Sally excuse herself to the kitchen. When she enters the kitchen,her tears flow freely. The experiences she had in Singapore were bitter sweet. Telling them about it makes her feel that she is weak. She do not know how to stop her tears and she don't want anybody to see her tears,not again. She felt a warmth arms hug her back.

"Let it out if it helps," says Yoseob.

The same sentence she said tonhim before. Tears gushes out. Yoseob turns her around and hugs her tightly. Sally hears his heartbeat.It calms her down.

"Let's go before it get worse outside,"says Sally.

She washes her face and make her way to the living room. Everybody are wearing the bracelet. She sits beside JiYong. Knowing the boys have schedule tomorrow,Sally decides to leave early.

"Sally-ah,stay here for awhile with me," says JiYong.

Sally declines nicely but JiYong persisted. Sandy whispers to Sally to just stay. Yoseob stayed behind out of willingness. After everybody left,JiYong breaks down. Sally wanted to coax him but Yoseob tell her to let him cry.

"He's been like that for awhile now.Crying and drinking at night..." says Yoseob.

"But why...Oppa...waeyo?" Sally embrace JiYong.

"Because my heart hurts..."

JiYong hold on to Sally's arm. Sally look at Yoseob to seek for help because she is clueless. Sally pats his back while humming to their latest song,Last Dance trying to calm him down.

"I love you..."
