Dahyun POV :

"You're FINALLY here" Momo said as she opened the door.

"Haha yeah, mianhe Momo-ssi"

"Oooh nope, none of that, we're all friends now" Sana answers with what I could swear is the most adorable smile I've ever seen and a small giggle.

"I hope you guys didn't get too hungry" she walks in.

Nayeon nudges me, signaling to make some space between us for Sana. I do as my unnie instructs. Sana will be sitting next to me...

She smiles at us and places herself on the sofa between the both of us. Nayeon wraps her in her arms. Ugh.

"So what were you up to ?" I ask.

"Uh, it's uh, it's personal" oh wow okay. I can't help but feel vexed by that answer.

"Oh okay then" I guess we're not that close, but I thought we would be.

"I'm gonna get the food, Dahyun can you help me please ?" Sana asks me, eh ? Why me ?

"Uh yeah sure" she grabs my hand and leads me to the kitchen. Isn't this supposed to be my home ?

"I can't tell you everything right now, I hope you can find it in your heart to understand that" what?

"Uh, yeah okay?"

"My father and I don't have a good relationship. I ran away from home to get away from that toxic environment and to start fresh doing what I wanted, which is why I'm here in Korea. He wants me to become CEO of his company and has been forming me for that position since I was a child which means... that he's looking for me"

Wow, now that's toxic. "Uh why don't you want the position?"

"It promotes values that I don't believe in" good enough reason.

"Why are you telling me all of this ?"

"You said you don't trust strangers, so I'm trying to be as transparent as I can with you" wow I don't know what to say, this makes me so, so "but like I said" great, ruin everything with your buts "I can't tell you more then that or go into details, I'm not free of his grasp yet, he's still looking for me and ..." and what ? AND WHAT ?? She's looking at the floor. What other great things have you got to tell me huh ? "And he found me"

*ringtone*

You'd think I live in a drama with this type of cliffhanger. She takes out her phone and answers.

"Yes ?"

" *inaudible* "

"I know"

" *inaudible* "

"Are you alright ?!"

" *inaudible* "

"What did he say?"

" *inaudible* "

She's fidgeting hard as she opens her mouth she looks at me, remembering I'm here suddenly and speaks in Japanese. I hate secrets... I keep preparing the plates trying to get my mind off of things.

I feel a hand on my shoulder, it snakes it's way down to my arm, forearm and hand, intertwining our fingers. Now her body is pressed against mine and I can feel warmth and comfort building up in me. How can this feel so normal with someone I've known for three days...

"I'm sorry for switching to Japanese, I just... there are some things I can't say" I turn around and face her looking straight into those beautiful eyes.
