Wednesday night...

“What do you mean pack up? Where are we going?”

“Just pack up right now. I'm on my way. I'll tell you everything later.”

“Alright, fine. What am I going to bring?”

“Just casual clothes, Momo. Good for 2 weeks.”

“Two weeks?!?! Jeongyeon I can't stay out for that long.”

“I got you, Momo. Believe me.”

“What are you planning to do?”

“It's a secret, but I know you'll love it.”

Jeongyeon hung up, leaving Momo so frustrated because obviously, Jeongyeon decided what Momo has to do without even asking her personally. She couldn't stay upset though, instead, she did what she's told and packed almost all of her clothes inside her closet.

She's so pushy and I hate it sometimes.

Minutes passed by and Jeongyeon arrived at Momo's apartment.
“Hey, good evening, Momo.” She greeted her. “Good evening, Jeongyeon.” Momo let's Jeongyeon go inside her apartment. “Momo, I have a few questions before we go.” the younger latter gave her a what-is-it look. “You're Japanese, right?” she nodded. “You have your passport?” she nodded again. “Do you have any conflicts with your parents?” she shook her head. “Your parents are in Japan?” she nodded.

Don't tell me she's actually doing this.

“Then it's settled.” Jeongyeon carried Momo's luggage to the car.

I'm really going to do this.

“Get your passport, we're flying to Japan in an hour.” the older said after putting her luggage at the back seat. Momo's eyes widen and her mouth is wide open. She wasn't able to go to Japan back then since she was so busy and didn't had the time to. “Are you fucking serious, Jeongyeon?” The blonde haired girl chuckled and showed her 2 plane tickets to Tokyo, Japan. “I have a friend there who can let us stay in about 3 to 4 days, I'll also bring my car.” Momo couldn't react to what Jeongyeon has been doing for the past days, and this, this has shocked her the most.

“Jeongyeon why are you going so far just for me?” the older shook her head.
“Momo, I'm not only doing this for you, but I'm also doing this for myself. It's been a while since I had a long break like this. Also, this friend of mine wants to see me so bad that she even bought tickets back to Seoul for us.”
“Jeongyeon, I don't know what to say—”
“If you say yes we'll be on our way. Oh and by the way, this trip to Japan is our next step.” she cuts Momo off.

It's like I have much of a choice.

“Then let's go to Japan.” Momo said, nothing made Jeongyeon happier than this. 

Thank you, Momo.

They drove to the airport just in time. Jeongyeon let the staff bring her car inside the airplane while they wait in line.

“When did you planned this?” Momo asked. “Just the other day. We were just suppose to go to Jeju, but my friend from Japan told me to go there for something important.”
Momo still don't get the point why she still wants to go there with her.

I mean, we can go to Jeju after her trip.

“How do you know that I was Japanese? Or why did you brought me with you if you just planned to go to Jeju?” Jeongyeon grinned at her. She thinks way too much. But then again she understands, Momo hasn't fully trust her and she gives way to much for her even if they're just 'friends'
“I know your surname is Hirai, so I figured you're Japanese. I also want to tell you where are your parents while we're in Jeju so we can go there after, but I guess fate has other plans.”
“So you just guessed that I'm Japanese?” Momo asked, she nodded. “That's a big risk, Yoo.” The older latter laughed “I'm made to take risks, Momo. I wouldn't be so successful if I didn't risk all.”

Yet I can't risk to tell you I love you.

Few hours had passed and they finally arrived Japan. Jeongyeon has the address to her friend. They drove from the airport, to Shinjuku.

This is a big house for a crowded city like this.

Jeongyeon stopped in front at the house that is said in her message. “I guess this is it.” Jeongyeon parked her car and went outside.
“Stay here, I'll check if it's the place.” Jeongyeon closed the door and went in front of the house. She rang the doorbell and someone opened the door.
“Yes? What is it?” The girl said in Japanese, Jeongyeon didn't understand her at all.

I'm not good at this.

“Lee Chaeyeon.” That was the only word she could say. The Japanese girl gets it and called for Chaeyeon.
“Wait.” the Japanese girl said in Korean.

Man, why didn't she spoke Korean.

“Unnie!” Jeongyeon's friend burst out and hugged her tightly, Jeongyeon hugged her back.
“Chaeyeon, it's been so long.” she said. “Unnie, I want you to meet Sakura, my wife.” Chaeyeon held the Japanese girl's hand. She was the one who opened the door for Jeongyeon. “Nice to meet you, Sakura.” Sakura bowed at Jeongyeon, the older latter felt embarrassed.
“Wait, I'll just get my friend.” Jeongyeon ran to her car to get Momo.

“Chaeyeon, Sakura, meet Momo. My friend.” Momo shook Sakura and Chaeyeon's hand.
“Let's go inside.” Chaeyeon invited the two to go in. Their house was even bigger inside. They all sat at the couch in the living room.

“What's so important that you made me fly all the way here, Chaeyeon?” The younger latter gave her a smile. “I heard you have a business? You see, I work on the real estate now, and there's this lot I'm selling near the city, Maybe you want to expand your business there then I can sell the property in the cheapest price I can give. How about that?” Jeongyeon gave a thought of it. “I'll talk to Chaeyoung about this. Also, we're expanding on various places in Korea, maybe after that we can negotiate about my business going here?” Chaeyeon nodded. “It's a deal, Ms. Yoo.” they shook hands.

“We're gonna go now, hope to see you again, Chaeyeon.” Jeongyeon hugged her. “Yes, Jeongyeon-unnie. Also, if you don't mind me asking, where are you guys going?” Chaeyeon asked. “Kyoto, why?” The younger shook her head, “It's going to be a long ride, unnie. Take care, okay?” Jeongyeon smiled and nodded.

“What's the next step?” Momo asked.
“The next step is Enlist and contact your support system. bond with your closest friends and with your family, open up to them.”
“Jeongyeon. I have a problem about that.” the younger said, the Korean girl tilted her head. “What is it?”
“My family doesn't know about Sana.”
