My Fake Boyfriend

Aeri was chilling on the living room's couch, occasionally kicking her sister with her feet, a bit curious to know who Taehee has been texting for so long.

"Who you talking to?" She asked, lightly  poking Taehee with her toe nail.

Taehee looked up at her with a small smile, "No one."

Aeri looked at her for a while, "I swear if you are-" "I am just talking to Yoongi." Taehee interrupted before Aeri could finish.

"Oh," Aeri said, "What are you talking about that got you all smiley?" Aeri sat up straight, propping up her head on her palms.

"Nothing," Taehee replied, an annoyed expression forming on her face as she looked at Aeri, "We are just discussing when I could come to his house for the synthesiser practice."

Aeri laid back on the couch, "I thought you had already decided that." 

"Well, I am just telling him that I might be a bit late."

"Why," Aeri asked nonchalantly, "It is Friday. You don't have your class today. Nor do you have anything else to do."

"Oh, I am pretty sure I have something to do." Taehee said over the doorbell.

"What do you mean?" Aeri asked as she looked at Taehee walk upto the front door. "Don't tell me- What did you tell them?" Aeri shouted at her older sister before burying her face in a pillow, not prepared for the things she was about to face as soon as the door was opened, filling the room with the presence of four extremely excited girls.

"Why the fuck did you not tell me?" Seoyeon protested, getting her head smacked by Minjee, "Lower your voice idiot, her mom must be upstairs."

"Oh my god. I can't believe that you are going on a date," Eunmi jabbered.

Areum threw her keys on the table, "With Taehyung. I mean. who would have seen that coming."

Aeri lowered the pillow to glare at Taehee, "You caused this," she mouthed.

"Oh, stop blaming her," Minjee said as she moved Aeri's feet to make space for herself, "Don't you dare put them on my lap," she warned when Aeri started to move her feet back up again.

"We would have known one way or another," Areum said.

Aeri looked at their faces, occasionally shooting Taehee a glare who just responded with a wide smile, "Are you just going to gush about it?" She asked.

Seoyeon gasped with happiness, "So it is a date." 

"No. It is not. I am just meeting up with an old friend, just to talk about random stuff and catch up on each other's lives. That is it." Aeri declared.

"Where are you meeting?" Taehee asked with a raised eyebrow, a smirk displayed on her mouth.

"A coffee shop."

"It is a date." Areum answered lazily, every other person agreeing with her, "And we will help you with it."

"What? No. Why?" Aeri blurted.

"Because you are not a people person." Seoyeon stated, walking upto Taehee as they looked out the window.

"Speaking of people person, where is Jiyeon?" Eunmi asked, mentally doing a headcount of the people in the room.

"Oh," Taehee turned around, "She will be here in..." She trailed off as she looked at her watch.

"There she is," Seoyeon voiced as she pointed towards the window, the short figure of Jiyeon visibly walking towards the door.
