#3

Hyejin places her empty plate on the kitchen counter.

She walks out of the kitchen and trudges up the stairs into her room and plops on her bed.

Grabbing her phone, she searches for Taeyong's contact.

"Taeyongggg" she says as soon as the ringing stops.

"Yessss" Taeyong copies her.

"Guess who's back in town,baby!"

He laughs.

"Yeah,my mom told me you were here"

"Anywayssss...are you free today? We should meet up"

"Oh yeah! I'm actually with the rest of the boys right now. If you can, I'll send you my location and your aunt can drop you off. Or do you want Mark to pick you up?"

"Mark can just pick me up,I'm at my aunt's house by the way"

"Yeah, I know. He'll be there in 20 minutes"

Hyejin gets down from her bed and opens up her suitcase. She's already unpacked a few clothes and put them in the closet yesterday,so her options are limited.

"Ok... let's see what we've got here" she she glares down at her half-empty suitcase.

She pulls out a t-shirt,on it was something random written on Japanese.

To pair with it,she just grabbed some blue jeans.

Hyejin starts contemplating whether to bring a jacket or not.

"Jowoon-ah!" she calls back to her brother's bed.

He hums in response.

"What do you want?" he replies, eyes not leaving his phone.

"What's the weather today? Hot or cold?"

He finally looks up from his phone,"Umm....I don't know,why?".

"I'm going out to meet the boys and I don't know whether to wear a hoodie or not" she says, looking back to her, now, even more empty suitcase.

"Meh,I don't know. Just wear one just in case, you can still take it off later, anyways"

Hyejin nods before grabbing her pile of clothes and heading out to change.

Hyejin comes back in the room with a grey hoodie over her shirt.

She grabs her bag and flashes a smile to Jowoon.

"Bye, Jo!" she says, exiting the room.

Ring ring.

Hyejin fishes out her phone out of her jeans to see who was calling her.

She swipes on the green button beaming on her screen upon seeing Mark's name.

"Hey Mark" she says as she walks down the stairs.

"Hi Hye, I'm like....ten minutes away,just letting you know" he replies, one hand on the wheel and eyes focusing on the road.

"Ok,I'm already downstairs" she says before hanging up on the boy.

Hyejin walks into the living room and plops on top of the grey couch. She sighs and closes her eyes.

Ding dong

Right when she was about to fall asleep, the doorbell jolted her awake.

She sits up and walks to the front door.

Hyejin pushes the door open to reveal 17 year old Mark Lee, standing at her doorstep.

Back then, the two were around the same height; but over the years, Mark's gained a few inches and is now around half a head taller than Hyejin.
