Matchmaker: BOOK I [Y/N X KAI]

✨ Chapter 66 ✨

"Wait, was that seriously what you were gonna say? Because if I had expected that, I definitely wouldn’t have just make a joke about it," I shrug.

"I know you wouldn’t. But that's the truth. Remember how anxious I was about this weekend? But I don’t think I've had this much fun in years. It's all thanks to you!" she smiles.

"You know what, Piyuu? We make a perfect team!" I toss my hair.

"Exactly, where have you been all my life?" she grins.

"Oh, I was stuck behind a desk, babysitting a 68 years old toddler named Lee Soo Man. But at least, it's a new day for both of us," I sigh contently.

"This weekend's been better than I imagined it to be," she comments.

"And I suspect your imagination's a little wilder than the most. As I've seen your song writings," I say.

"Wait a second, this compliment was meant for you. Why the hell are you turning it back to me?" she pouts.

I giggle, "Because you deserve it. Now listen, as much as I don't want to, Piyuu, I think it's time for us to go back."

She nods, "You’re right. I know I said I didn't want to go home just yet, but-"

"You miss home?" I ask.

"More like I've had a million new ideas I'll need my sewing room for. And I might forget them if I don't start yet."

"Then let's get going. I wouldn't dare stand in the way of your next masterpiece! See you at work, huh?" I raise my hand for a fist-bump.

"Yes, partner!" she says and accepts it.

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

After dropping off Piyuu and getting my car parked, I open up my phone to see a text from Siyaah. She's been back for a few weeks, but betwen her catching up on work and my getting ready for the convention, we haven’t had time to hang out. I call her as soon as I get to my home and flop on the bed.

"Hello!" her voice beams from the other side of the phone "So the expo's over today, right? You should come over this afternoon. Chanyeol and Sehun will be there too!"

Hmm, Sehun will be there. You know what it sounds like?

"Can I bring my friend Piyuu as well? You know that dressmaker girl I told you about?" I ask. I remember Piyuu said she doesn’t have any emergency task going on. Just some ideas she need to list out. And if she can't make it anyways, it's not like it's gonna be the end of the world or something like that. So it shouldn’t hurt to ask.

"Oh yeah, your new friend. Of course you can, maybe we'll become good friends too like you two!" she says. Wow perfect. I need to do something about Piyuu and Sehun.

"Count me in! You need to tell me all about the honeymoon. I've been stalking your pictures on the Facebook all week. I'm so jealous that you got to pet a dolphin," I complain.

She laughs, "Oh my god, I almost forgot about that. You'll get to hear all about the dolphin. But I've got some other news too!"

"Wait a second, what is it?" I ask with my voice full of curiosity.

"It's a surprise. But you may wanna come up with a list of your favourite names!" she says teasingly.

"Could you be any less subtle, Siyaah?" I sigh.

"What? I don't know what you're talking about! I'm an open book! I'm, like, the most straight-forward person in the world!" she says.

"Siyaah...." I let out a deep, disappointed sigh.

"Okay, okay, but seriously come over. I've got a big news that I wanna tell you in person," she adds.

"Um, okay..see you at 4?" I ask.

"That sounds perfect. See you soon!" she exclaims and declines the call before I can say anything else.

What the heck does she want a list of names for?

Wait, she did just come back from her honeymoon. No way!!

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

By the time I get to Siyaah's apartment, I'm all ready for this pregnancy announcement. I've got a list of cute and sweet baby names, a bottle of non-alcoholic cranberry juice, a picture book, special gift for the baby. I'm waiting downstairs for Piyuu.

I've to admit, I was a little taken aback when I first realized Siyaah was pregnant. But now that I think about it, I'm so ready to be the cool aunt Niki.

After a few minutes, Piyuu arrives. Hurrily rushing over with a soft toy in her hand.

"Hey, I picked this up from the shop next street. It was just so sudden and I had no idea!" she mutters while panting. I told her all about Siyaah and Chanyeol and also told that they're having a baby.

"Calm down!" I squeeze her shoulder, "I wasn’t prepared for this either. And this toy seems perfect. Now let's go."

She nods, "Congratulation on being Aunt."

"Not just Aunt, I'm the cool aunt Niki," I toss my hair, "Now hurry up!"

I forget all about that the minute I step into the apartment and realize who's waiting for me.

Vivi sits in the middle of the living room floor, two puppies curled up with her. Siyaah and Sehun are sitting on the couch and they're all staring at us.

"Well, hello there! Aren’t you two the cutest little things on the planet?" I say in an adoring-tone. "And hey to you lame humans as well," I chuckle.

Chanyeol appears from the hallway, holding another puppy.

"Hey Niki and Niki's friend..? I'm sorry I didn’t catch your name. I know you as the talented dressmaker," Chanyeol grins.

Piyuu laughs, "It's Piyuu. Nice to meet you too Chanyeol. Niki told me about you and Siyaah."

Sehun suddenly stands up and glances behind Piyuu and then back to me. Piyuu starts to tremble the moment he looks at her.
