I sat down at the dining table eating my pancakes with the girls - Irene, Yeri, Seulgi, and Joy. They were my best friends as well as my roommates. We have known each other since high school and vowed that we will keep in contact and lived with one another when we have the money. And indeed we accomplished this goal of ours 10 long years after graduating from high school, we moved into this beautiful house just last weekend and this is the first time that the 5 of us sat down as a whole to have a meal together.

Irene, the leader of our group raised her glass of orange juice and we followed suit. "Cheers to us living together!" We all said in unison and drank our glasses filled with orange juice.

"Who wants more orange juice?" Yeri asked and everyone put their hands up. She sighed and took the empty glasses from us placing it on a wooden tray so that she could carry all of them at once, as expected from a Barista.

"Have you cleared all your belongings and packed into their right compartments?" I asked and everyone nodded all eating without lifting their heads up.

Joy raised her hand up. "I have not, half of my shoes are still in the box."

"Seriously, when are you going to fully unpack them?" Seulgi asked.

"Who knows, perhaps when I have the mood? You do know that I have like 40 pairs of shoes and taking all of them out is such a hassle."

"Then why buy them? Because it is on sale right? Buying 1-for-1 coffees would be a better choice." Yeri said placing each of our glasses in front of us.

"When it comes to shoes, Joy is the queen. Don't forget that she works for a retail chain store selling designer shoes." Irene said and all of us nodded.

"That's right, call me Cinderella you guys. With me around, I can assure that I can bring back the latest trends for every one of you."

My eyes gleamed up upon hearing that we would get the designer shoes for free. "Really? I want." I said and everyone chuckled.

I got out of the house wearing a plain white shirt and skinny jeans carrying a laptop case with my personal laptop in my hand. I wore my headphones playing my favorite songs. It was noon when I stepped out of the house. All of them have already gone to work early in the morning except for me.

My job doesn't require me to get out of the house as what I do is just to write stories and occasionally write scripts for dramas. I am also an award-winning youngest writer for 4 years in a row. But I have to get out of the house in order to get some inspiration for my story or else all my stories will have all the same storylines.

I looked at my bank account while walking down the subway. I don't have a driver's license and I don't have the desire to have one so I would have to take public transportation then. I will be able to save money at the same time as I don't really earn as much as all of them who either is an owner of their store, an office employee, a shoe store sales assistant or a painter.

125 600 won banked into your account.

I smiled but can't they give me the full amount all at once? I tapped the card on the reader and the gates open. I got down to the edge of the platform and there I waited for the train to arrive. The train arrived after a few minutes and I stood for the whole ride although someone offered her my seat in the middle of the ride, I rejected her and she is elderly. I can't be selfish and take her offer so I rejected her.

I arrived at the art museum first, there's a new exhibit that had just opened and it is all about love. I paid for the ticket and entered the exhibition. There is also a tarot card booth, I have wanted to try that for the longest time. I want to see my fortune and perhaps my love life. I wonder how accurate is it?

I looked at the paintings on the wall, they are very well drawn. Seulgi would be so jealous that I went to such an exhibition. I had asked her to come with me so that she could also find inspiration for her next artwork but she couldn't make it as she had to rush to her work. It is for a customer and he wanted it to be done by Friday so Seulgi had no choice but to go to work to finish up on that.

Maybe we can come again but it would be a different exhibition next time. This exhibition is only until Friday so she has no chance to see it. I would snap a few photos to show her, that would work as well. I arrived at the 'Love Myths' section of the exhibition and almost laughed out loud. The reason - there are all too ridiculous.

What is this wearing red would increase your chances of making someone fall in love? It is weird and cheesy but I can use it for my books, my readers need to learn about new knowledge as well. They can't always read the old things and not know the new ones. A particular line attracted me so much. It said, 'If a guy and a girl wear the same T-shirt and meet each other on the same day, they will be destined to be together forever.'

I looked at my outfit and then looked around for any guy that wears the same outfit as me. No one. Everyone here is either wearing shirts with long sleeves or dress shirts. No one was wearing a white shirt and skinny jeans like me.

Aye, as if wearing the same shirt as someone else will make you fall in love with him instantly. No wonder they are called myths, not facts. I'm too desperate finding that special someone. I shook my head and left the exhibition to go to the next location - the park. Before I left the exhibition, I nearly bumped into someone who is wearing all black, covering himself with a mask and wearing a black cap to top it off. He apologized to me and I did too. I left the place without realizing that I dropped something that I shouldn't have.
