Soo Ah stared at her phone in disbelief. Ha Dong Jae, her best friend from when she was in high school, was calling her after what seemed like ages. She hesitated but clicked the green answer icon.

"hello? Is this Kim Soo Ah?"

The sound of the boys voice flooded Soo Ah's mind with memories of how much they used to talk over the phone. Hearing his voice again brought a warm smile to her face.

"Omo! Ha Dong Jae it's been forever! I've missed you so much!" She practicality yelled into the phone.

"It has been forever huh Soo Ah?" He chuckled softly. "It's nice to know that you're still as loud as ever."

Soo Ah's face turned a bright pink as she pouted in embarrassment.

"I am not! But how are you? I haven't talked to you since.."

"Since the day I left for college.. yeah I know."
Ha Dong sighed and his voice became low. "I wanted to talk to you, I really did, but it was hard for me to talk to you after I made you cry like that. It hurt me knowing how much pain I caused you. I didn't want you to miss me like I missed you.."

Soo Ah sat there in silence, realizing how much of an unsupportive friend she was.

"Ha Dong.. I didn't mean to make you feel that way. I'm so sorry. But look at the bright side! You're studying and pursuing a career and that's great and I've always known you could do it."

He smiled softly. "Actually Soo Ah, I kind of stopped going to college. A small clothing company in Seoul took interest in me and asked me to become one of their models for their social media, so like I wear their clothing and advertise it. It's pretty good but they're lacking photographers and people to work with the companies' accounts."

Soo Ah was at a loss for words at this point, her friend could allegedly become Insta Famous.

"Ha Dong Jae that's awesome! I knew that pretty face of yours would finally pay off!" Then she realized the entirety of what he just said. They're looking for photographers! "Wait you said they needed photographers?! And here in Korea?! That means you're moving here?!" Her voice became high pitched and squeaky as her emotions took over her mouth.

"Y-Yah..! I'm going to become deaf at this rate Soo Ah. But yes I'm going to move there and hopefully somewhere nearby, I was actually thinking of staying with you for a while until I found somewhere to stay..? Only if it's okay with you of course! I'd help out with all of the bills too."

Soo Ah's smile grew wider than ever, "Of course you can stay here! Oh and since you said that they're in need of photographers, I can apply for a job! I know how to work the basic camera and adjust all the settings to the right amount, I just need some practice. I've been looking for a job for the longest and this could be it!"

"Well listen it's kind of late here so I'll call you tomorrow so we can talk more about the moving situation. And don't worry, I'll make sure you get that job Soo Ah, but yeah I'll call you tomorrow."

"Oh okay..! I'll wait on your call then, bye!" Soo Ah said in a bit of an awkward tone. She smiled excitedly and got up from her bed, deciding that it'd be nice to go get some coffee.

Soo Ah slipped on her pair of checkered vans and made her way around the block to the Starbucks. As she walked inside she witnessed a struggling Hansol trying to explain to a lady that they were out of muffins.

She walked behind him and hugged him from behind, scaring the bejesus out of him.

"Yah! Soo Ah! Why would you do that?!" He yelled in a feminine tone. Soo Ah laughed and ordered what she usually gets, a green tea matcha latte, and sat down at a table in the corner.

Hansol brought Soo Ah her drink and sat down in front of her, staring into her bright eyes.

"So what ya doing here in the middle of the day?" questioned Hansol, resting his chin on the palm of his hand, sipping some water from a cup.

"Well I have some news my dude! My best friend from high school is coming to live with me and I might get a job this time!"

"Oh really, thats awesome! Is she a model or something that needs a camera girl?"

"Yeah! Ha Dong Jae got asked to be a model for a clothing company and they need photographers." Explained Soo Ah happily.

"That's great she's going to be insta famous. But how come you've never told me about her?"

"Hansol I did! Ha Dong is my boy best friend from high school remember?"

Hansol choked on his water, realizing Soo Ah was going to live with a guy who could potentially be her boyfriend and of course it would be because they're closer and he'd lose her forever and-

"Hansol? Haaannnssooooll??? If you don't get your kimbap kidding face ass back to reality I'm going to kick you." Soo Ah threatened as she repeatedly snapped her fingers in the poor boys face.

"..you're going to live with a guy who isn't me.."
