chapter 6.

1:28pm

The bell hanging by the front door of the small korean mart rings as a brunette figure enters the place. A bright smile crept up on the blonde's face as the image of Nai wearing a furry bucket hat and oversized clothes gave such a cute look to the woman.

"How many packs of banana milk do you want?" Aurelia asks her best friend beside her as she looks at the colorful array of drinks displayed in front of her.

"I'll take five" the woman replies, a wide smile on her face as she places the packs of banana milk in her tiny cart.

The two walk through the back part of the store, Nailea picking between all sorts of cabbage for her Haejangguk (Korean Hangover Soup). Alongside her is Aurelia humming along to the catchy song that was playing in the store as she organizes the things in their cart as she waits for her friend. As the brunette looks at the vegetables hand in hand, she feels a light tap on her shoulder.

"Hey Miss, can I have your number?" A masculine voice questions the woman. "Go away you creep." The girl says distastefully before turning to face the man.

"How mean of you to say to an old friend." The boy says, pouting at the woman in front of him. Nailea's mouth opens wide from shock as she realizes who the man standing in front of her is.

"Do you miss your best boy, Sunghoon?" He asks the female with a big eye smile, arms wide open, ready for a hug.

Nailea quickly embraces the boy as tight as she can, remembering the memories she shared with the male when they were little. She steps back to take a look again at the man, face still shock.

"NO FUCKING WAY! You looked so devastatingly ugly when you were little! " She says lips quivering as she tries to stop herself from laughing, failing miserably. The boy gives the brunette an offended expression, stopping shortly after tears began to fall from his eyes from laughter at his friend's straightforwardness.

"Now who's this wonderful lady right here? Sunghoon says after reclaiming himself as he turns to look at the blonde facing their direction.

"Oh hi!" "I'm Rae." She introduces herself with a soft smile, her hands nervously playing with her phone.

"Can i have your number?" he calmly says with a cute smile.

This bitch smooth, Aurelia thinks to herself as she looks at the guy with a surprised yet beaming face.

"Nice one bro." Nailea says as she gives her male friend two big thumbs up.

"I'm sorry but I don't give numbers to strangers." The blonde replies half-heartedly, earning a cute pout from the boy.

"Aww, at least I tried. Anyways, my brother just texted me and I gotta' go. See you again ladies, enjoy your day!" The male says as he waves goodbye to the women, an eye smile plastered on his face.

"Rae, you lost your chance at having a love life." The brunette sighs, pinching the bridge of her nose with a disappointed look on her face.

1:53pm

As they go through the place looking for the last of the ingredients for Nailea's soup, Rae takes a few steps towards the end of an aisle to get her favorite chips. As she reaches for the snack, another hand suddenly reaches at the same time. The blonde turns her head to meet the eyes of a young girl with a beautiful dark complexion, whipping up a few laughs as they make eye contact.

The younger one places her bag of chips into her cart as the woman holds hers in her arms, smiling at the girl once again. Turning her head towards her best friend, a loud voice suddenly came from an old woman who was standing next to the young girl.
