"What?" Minjung looks at me in confusion. "Are you serious?"
"I need time to get away from all of these. I want to be stronger by staying here but I can't. I keep remembering everything that I did with him." I put food into my mouth and look at Minjung. "This is why I'm only told you. I'm going to leave for an indefinite duration. I cannot tell you where I'm going since I believe Jisoo, Lisa and Chae will come to you once I leave. I don't want to put you in a bad place so I'll just tell you that I'm leaving without the exact location. I can continue my work from where I go, so you don't have to worry."
"Okay, as sad this sudden decision, I try to understand. I never been in your position, loving someone these deep and these long so I cannot commented about this." Minjung sighs softly. "As your friend and co-worker I'm going to force you to stop working while you're in this healing journey."
"But -"
"No, Jen, listen. I want you to really focus on your life at wherever place you'll go later. at least for a month, you stop worrying about Distrax. I'll send you an email as soon as I need your help in something. But if you don't see any email from me it means I still can manage it. Do you understand?"
"Okay. I'll follow your suggestion."
"Good, then. When do you plan to leave?"
"The day after, I already finished my work for tomorrow since I will be having a slumber party with the girls before I leave. Please keep this a secret."
"So fast?" says Minjung in surprise. "Of course, I'll keep it a secret." We finish our foods then go out from the restaurant. Minjung already booked a cab.
"So this is the last time I'll see you?" Minjung asks me while putting her bag into taxi.
"You'll see me again, soon." I look at the woman who already been through thick and thin since we start Distrax. "Thank you, Minjung."
"I hope you achieve whatever you want to do by leaving Seoul. I'm wishing you all the best luck." We hug for the last time. I watch as her taxi goes away before I go back to my own place.

"So, why a sudden slumber party?" Jisoo asks me once we all gather in my living room. We already changed to our onesie sleepwear. Jisoo wears Pikachu, Lisa teddy bear, Chae rabbit and I wear unicorn onesie.
"I just want to. Why? You don't want too, Unnie?" I squint my eyes at her.
"No, no, that's fine. It's been a while since we have a onesie slumber party as well."
"Let's eat, then play game, then watch movies!" Lisa shouts excitedly. Chae who was sitting beside her immediately looks at her with annoyed gaze.
"Don't shout!"
"Heheh, sorry. So what do we want to order for dinner?" Lisa looks at her phone that shows the menu from our favourite restaurant.
