PARK JIHYO

"Irene unnie... Can you tell me where Dahyunie's room is?" I asked after putting on one of my Airpods and before driving towards her family's hospital.

[I'll just wait for you at the entrance. I also need to visit him. Anyone you're with?]

"Chaeryeong and the others." I answered as I placed my phone on the dashboard.

[What about...]

"I don't think they know. Yet. But I bet Momo unnie already knows and is debating on whether to tell them or not." I answered.

"Unnie... Sorry to interrupt, but I think they already know." Chaeryeong suddenly said, turning towards me since she's sitting with me in front.

[How?]

"How?"

"Mina unnie's sending me text messages asking where the boys are." she said.

"Sana unnie's also texting me." Ryujin said.

"Nayeon unnie too." Yuna also said.

"Mine and Yeji's phones are off unnie. We also told them to turn their phones off, but they wouldn't listen." Lia said.

"We knew it was gonna happen." Yeji added.

[Should I asked Chaeng if we can tell them?]

"Okay unnie." I said.

[Okay, I'll be right back.]

After that she hung up and looked at the girls through the mirror.

"Have any of you three answered them yet?" I asked.

"I haven't." Chaeryeong said.

"Me too." Yuna said.

"Was about to." Ryujin honestly answered.

"Well don't. Put your phones on silent mode for now. Oh... After you do that, you guys can sleep." I told them as I fixed my position to get a more comfortable one.

"I'll keep you company unnie." Chaeryeong said, smiling at me.

"Okay then."

***

Chaeryeong ended up sleeping, leaving me all alone. One thing I did notice while being left with them, was that, Ryujin and Yuna seem to be close.

Too close to just be best friends.

A few minutes before, Yeji and Lia fell asleep first, followed by Chaeryeong while I just watched the remaining two intertwine their hands and smiled at it. At first I thought that it's normal since they've always been like that and didn't pay I attention to it, but when I noticed through my peripheral vision that Ryujin kissed Yuna's temple while the latter closed her eyes while smiling through it, I knew it wasn't what best friends do.

They thought they could hide it, but I got some big ass eyes. Big enough to see right through them.

***

We arrived at the hospital and I parked the car before me and the girls went out. As we got to the entrance, Irene unnie waved and walked towards us.

"Hey..." she said, her eyes sad and tired.

The girls and I bowed before also saying hello.

"So... Let's go?" she asked, smiling making us nod our heads in return.
