Byeol tells the girls about everything going on
"Yugs, you need to leave! They're going to be here soon." Byeol chided as Yugyeom moved slower than a sloth to get his things together. He scoffed, rolling his eyes. "I don't understand why I have to leave my home just so your friends can come here."
Byeol narrowed her eyes, crossing her arms. "Because you make me leave my home when your friends come over." Yugyeom bit his cheek but didn't say anything. That was not a fight he wanted to get into right now. "Whatever. Where am I even supposed to go?" Byeol threw her hands up in frustration.
If there was one thing she'd ever have to say Yugyeom was the best at besides dancing, it would be driving her up the wall. "Go hang out with BamBam! Or Jaebeom! Or Jinyoung! Go dance! Just get out." Yugyeom groaned, picking up his bag and keys before winking at her with a smug smile.
"Fine, fine. I'll be home later and I don't care if your friends are still here." She rolled her eyes. "You just want to flirt with them and that's weird." He laughed, shrugging his shoulders. "I'm a growing boy, Moon. I have needs." She smacked his arm with a sharp glare and he laughed. "I'm leaving, I'm leaving! Call me if you need anything."
She nodded, pushing him out the door with the promise to call if they were in crisis. She sighed, blowing her bangs out of her face now that she had finally got him to leave. She straightened up a little, pulling out bottles of wine for Seulki and drinks for the others. She needed to keep moving right now to help her nerves.
She still had yet to apologize for the last time they were all together. She had snapped at all of them and she felt bad. She wanted to let them know everything that was going on. She just hoped that they would be as supportive as the rest of her boys. Her doorbell rang and she jumped. She cursed herself for still having the min panic attack every time that happened now.
She looked at the camera and saw the smiling faces of the four girls she was slowly starting to let herself befriend. She buzzed them in and a few moments later she opened the door to four happy girls. "BYEOL! IT'S BEEN SO LONG I THOUGHT YOU MOVED COUNTRIES ON ME!" Nari screamed, tackling her into a hug.
She tensed a little and Nari backed off, raising and eyebrow before Byeol smiled and hugged her back. "Sorry—I just wasn't expecting that." Nari flipped her hair, making her way to the couch. "You should never expect anything less from me." Byeol laughed and Harin just rolled her eyes, offering her a small smile.
"It's good to see you all again." Byeol said as they settled in on the couch, drinks in their hands. "So, I wanted to apologize." Byeol said quietly and the others looked at her, confused. "For what? None of us have talked you in almost a month. What could you possibly be sorry for?" Seulki asked and Jane elbowed her in the side.
"For the last time we all hung out. I sort of—well, I did—snap at you all. It was out of line and I just wanted to apologize." They all made a face that they remembered and Harin smiled, patting her arm. "It's fine, unnie. We had all forgotten about it anyways." Byeol let out a shaky laugh, running her fingers through her hair.
"But that's not all, right?" Jane asked, cocking an eyebrow and Byeol nodded. "I actually—I want to tell you all what's been going on. And why I snapped that day." They all nodded, waiting for her to continue. "I mean, we've seen the articles. So, if you don't want to talk about it you don't have too." Seulki said then winced. "Sorry—that sounded bitchy. I didn't mean it that way."
Jane ruffled Seulki's hair and she glared at her. "My little baby growing up." Seulki rolled her eyes. "You're not even that much older than me." Jane snorted and Nari rolled her eyes at the two. They'd been closer the past few weeks and she couldn't sort it out. It didn't bug her, but she also wanted to know what changed. They would barely look at each other before.
Byeol started talking. She told them about the articles and how it had gotten out. She told them the full story that was getting easier to tell the more she talked about it. She took that as a good sign. She told them what happened afterwards and what's been going on now. She let out a deep breath after she finished talking, looking at the silent girls in front of her.
"Where does that bitch live? I'll kill her." Jane said and Seulki hummed in response. "I'll break her damn nose." Nari and Harin widened their eyes. "When did you two get so rough?" Harin asked and the girls shrugged. "She fucked with my friend. That's not okay. I'd do the same for any of you." Seulki said and Byeol felt her cheeks heat up a little.
"You don't—thank you." She breathed and the others smiled. "Thank you for telling us, unnie. I don't really know what to say, but we're all here. Whenever you need us. And I mean, I guess I can have Seulki teach me some boxing moves if we have to fight someone." Harin said and Byeol laughed.
Nari clicked her tongue. "Screw that. I'll bring Jongho and you bring Yoongi and you bring Soobin and you bring Jackson and Mark and then we'll really show them you don't fuck with our friends." Byeol laughed again, shaking her head. "It's not necessary, but thanks. I appreciate it. I'm doing much better now." They all hummed and murmured in response and then Seulki stood up, clapping her hands together.
"Now that all that heavy talk is out of the way, it's time to watch bad movies and paint nails." She moved to grab another bag that Byeol hadn't seen her bring in that was filled with cosmetics and she only widened her eyes. "Those are really all yours?" Seulki nodded, not seeing the big deal. "Pick a color, I'll do yours." Byeol picked one, smiling.
"Hey," Nari said quietly as the others got to work on picking colors. Byeol looked over and Nari smiled, giving her arm a gentle squeeze. "We're your girls, no matter what. We'll kick anyone's ass who wants to mess with you." Byeol smiled, nudging her with her shoulder. "Thanks, Nari-ah. Go get your hands pretty."
She looked around as they all talked and joked. They really were her girls. And she felt that this time, she could open up completely without having to worry.
