"Yah, I've been waiting for more than an hour. Where are you guys?" I asked over the phone.

I hear laughter from the other side. "Calm down, Jiwoo-yah. Got stuck in the traffic because Taehyung decided to go for a drive thru," Somin told me.

Then in the background I hear Taehyung shout, "You can't blame a man for being hungry!"

Despite my irritation, I laughed. Damn, I missed my friends. I've been in Australia for nearly two years, and that's already too long.

"Whatever, get your butts in here fast or I'll make sure to cut them off myself!" I threatened. They laughed as if I was joking. Oh boy, they're wrong.

We ended the call and I remained sitting in one of the cold benches here in the airport.

Once in a while I stand up and buy food from the pastry shop a few meters from the benches.

By the time they got here, I already spent over $30.

"Pigging out on your first day back home," Somin approached me as I ate my last piece of croissant, ten more empty wrappers stacked on the seat beside me.

I scoffed. "I'm simply enjoying the wonders of life, thank you very much," I said and stood up.

Then suddenly I was pulled into a hug. "Jiwoo-yah!" Taehyung even lifted me off my feet.

"Aish, Taehyung! Put me down!" I slapped his side, or atleast tried to because his arms were wrapped around me.

Eventually, he did put me down because Somin smacked him on the head. "Yah! I was supposed to be the one to hug her first!"

They bickered around. Somin saying that I like her better because she's a girl, and Taehyung's saying I like him better because I've known him longer and that Somin shouldn't be sexist.

I smacked them both. "I'm jetlagged. Somin-ah, throw the wrappers. Taehyung-ah, carry my luggage," I said and walked past them.

Somin scoffed. "What makes you think we'll do what you say?"

I looked back and winked, "I'm cute, you can't say no," I said and went back to walking.

I hear Taehyung exaggerate a sigh, "She's right. We're hopeless, Somin-ah."

I chuckled silently as they catch up to me. Somin took a little longer because the nearest trashcan was to the opposite direction.

Taehyung slung my backpack over his shoulders and pulled my luggage. My other things will be shipped later this week.

Taehyung took the lead because it's his car that he brought today. We reached the parking lot and I immediately slumped on the backseat. Somin helped Taehyung
load my bags in the trunk, and then sat on the passenger seat.

"Omg Jiwoo-yah, we have a lot to talk about!" Somin said excitedly.

Taehyung groaned. "Girls and their boy talks. Keep it in until I drop you off, please?"

I saw Somin roll her eyes from the rear-view mirror. "Anyway, have you seen someone in Australia? We've been video calling but you don't mention anyone."

"That's because I don't have anyone to mention, Somin-ah."

"No one worthy mentioning? Or is it because you're still not over he-who-must-not-be-named?" Somin asked. Somin calls him that because I haven't told her his name yet. I don't think I ever will. I sighed.
