Third Person

"Mom, I won't be eating dinner today," Leia told her parents who watching drama on tv with her dad.

"I'll be going out to see someone." She walks back to the kitchen to get something to eat before bumping to Ryujin who just walks out of her room.

"Good morning unnie!" Leia quickly greeted.

"Good morning!~" Ryujin greeted back with a warm smile.
"Ah and who are you seeing?"

"Just my internet friends from here," Leia replied. A thought then comes to her head.

"Do you want to come with me?" Leia asked. She thought that it would be cruel if she just left the older at home alone.

"Sure." Ryujin agreed. Ryu didn't know what friends Leia is meeting but there is a chance that a male friend might be there. She figured it might be not safe for her to go alone.

Leia scampered out of her room and skidded into a stop in front of Ryu's front door. Leia cleared first, fixed her hair and clothes before nervously knocking on the door. As Ryu swung the door open, Leia was then greeted by Ryujin who looked as handsome and pretty as ever in her casual wear.

"Ready?" Leia asked.

Ryu nodded before answering "Let's go.".

They exited the house and began walking side by side on the streets as Leia try to keep safe a distance between the two. But every time she took a step away, Ryu took a bigger step closer.

"Hey aren't we sort of matching today?" Ryu asked, looking at their somewhat similar clothes.

"Oh... we do." They were both wearing ripped jeans, a black sweater, and even have the same color shoes. 

"You look pretty like that." Ryu shamelessly stated and Leia shyly bit onto her bottom lip as she unconsciously fidgeted in embarrassment as Ryu's stare.

"Thank you."
Pretty? Leia thought to herself. It's funny how Ryujin used to call her by the name 'ugly' before. Such a drastic change that she wonders if she's still the same Ryujin anymore.

Inside the cafe, three people were grouped together in the table as they chatted amongst each other. They were Leia's internet friends back in Gwangju. Johnny, Sungjae, and Aera.

Aera turned her head and immediately saw Leia and another girl entering the place together. The two were walking pretty close and seems to be comfortable with each other.

"Leia's here," Aera told the guys, stopping them from talking any longer. Beaming, they raised their hand and waved at the two girls. "Hey, guys!" They greeted happily

Ryujin was taken aback to see it was only 3 people, but two of them are guys. Good looking ones too.

Leia's eyes sparkled when she approaches the three people whom she had been waiting to meet.
"I missed you guys!" Leia excitedly stated as she was greeted by the embrace of all her friends.

"My little Leia hasn't changed one bit!" Johnny ruffled her hair with a happy smile on his face.

My little Leia? Ryujin scoffed secretly inside of her head at the way the other guy call her. Ryu doesn't like the words little and even hate it more when the guy uses the word my.

"Oh, nice to meet you. You must be Ryujin, right?" Sungjae offer and handshake and Ryu received it.

"Hi, unnie! I've heard a lot about you, nice to meet you!" Aera said as all of the group sat down. 

"Nice to meet you." That Johnny guy greeted and Ryu respond with a half-ass smile.
