<OST: It's You - Chungha>
"I'm gonna kill that man."
Jieun laughed as she held Byulyi back from charging after Seokjin and beating him up. "Why do you hate him so much? Maybe the last time he was wrong, but he was just trying to help you out this time. He's actually a really nice guy."
"Did you not hear what he said to me earlier?" Byulyi tried her best to calm down. "Nothing much to look at? Excuse me? I have a great figure - if not for my love for writing, I would have gone into modelling a long time ago. Still remember all those name cards I received back when I was in uni?"
"Yeah, yeah, of course I remember-" Jieun laughed as she patted Byulyi on the shoulder. "Okay, it's my fault, alright? I'm sorry, I should have told you that I was coming home with him even if I thought you were out. Speaking of that... you came back just to help me pack?"
"Mm-" Byulyi lightened up a little as she pointed at the half-filled luggage in the corner of the living room. "Packed you some banchans, some toiletries and some of your favourite snacks. You just need to put in your clothes and you're ready to go."
"I love you so much?" Jieun pouted as she hugged her friend gratefully. "You're literally the best person in the world. Thank you, unnie."
"I knew you'd barely have any time to pack after work, so I thought I'd help-" Byulyi grinned as she patted Jieun's head. "After all, you're my main source of inspiration, aren't you?"
Jieun's eyes flared.
"I'm kidding, or maybe I'm not-" Byulyi laughed. "So remember to keep me updated about your relationship with him. But most importantly, stay safe at all times and don't hesitate to call me if you need any help."
Jieun frowned as she held Byulyi's hands in hers and pulled her into a warm hug. "Thank you, unnie. I don't know how long I'll be there, but I'm definitely gonna miss you so much. I'm so sorry for leaving you here all alone."
"Nah, don't worry about it-" Byulyi laughed. "I'll try to convince the landlady not to find another tenant so that you can come back any time you want."
"Are you sure she'll agree?" Jieun sighed. "She might want the income."
"I'll try my best," Byulyi said as she pulled away and smiled at Jieun. "All you have to do is go there and do a good job, to get your promotion. Go and pack now, the jerk is waiting for you outside."
"Unnie..." Jieun hesitated a little before she slowly glanced up at Byulyi. "Are you surprised that I decided to make this decision...? That is, deciding not to give up."
"Nope-" Byulyi said without hesitation, with a small smile on her face. "The Lee Jieun I know may be clumsy at times, but she's also the type who is extremely determined and who goes all the way. I knew you'd push through regardless of your doubts, Lee Jieun. While you're there, try not to think so much. Just focus on what's at hand - that is, digging for information about him. Alright?"
Jieun swallowed hard. Even though she had eventually made up her mind, she still felt uneasy. Something in her gut told her that she shouldn't be doing this, that something bad was going to happen.
"Alright, unnie."
