twenty eight

hyejin lies down, sinking into her bed as she stares up at the wall. hearing her phone ding, she immediately gets up to reach for it. smiling at the text she received from the older.

the blue haired girl however looks at her in disgust. "that's ugly, it's been 5 months since you've two have been dating and you still act like that."

"oh! don't be jealous wheeinie~" hyejin playfully shoves her shoulder into wheein's.

the shorter rolls her eyes, speaking in her natural whiny voice. "i am not jealous and will never be jealous of a relationship, yuck."

"you can't stay single forever," hyejin rests her chin in her palm, staring at her best friend. "don't you want a little bit of feelings in your art?"

wheein looks at the tv. "just because my art commissions aren't doing the best right now, doesn't mean i need to change my art strokes."

"what's the reason why your clients change last minute after seeing the outcome?" the younger asks, lying back down into her bed.

the shorter sighs softly. "that it doesn't depict their feelings for their partner but each person is different!"

"i know that wheein-ah but as an artist you're supposed to also satisfy their requests too." hyejin softly speaks, looking back up at the ceiling. "byulyi and i are hanging out, wanna tag along?"

wheein gives hyejin a dirty look. "and third wheel? no thanks, i think i'll just hang out here for a few hours and leave to fix a few of the pieces i've been working on."

"suit yourself."

"where are we going?" hyejin excitedly asks, seeing that the two of them are still in the car, passing by a few signs.

the older softly smiles. "you'll see when we get there."

the shorter of the two slightly pouts, slushing back into her seat.

"eat these and take a nap after if you'd like," byulyi pulls out a bag from behind with one hand still on the steering wheel. "i'll wake you up when we arrive."

'don't mind if i do,' hyejin smirks, grabbing the bag of snacks from byulyi, her face brightens up seeing her favorite snack. "thank you for the snacks!"

"of course baby."

the younger opens up a bag, munching on the chips. "do you want some?"

"not at the moment, thank you though," byulyi smiles. "you eat up!"

the black haired shrugs. "you know, since dating you, i've been gaining a ton of weight."

"and i love your weight." the older says in a greasy manner as her indian dimples appear out of its habitat.

hyejin shakes her head in disapproval. "no, no, no, that means dating you is bad for me."

"what's wrong with that?" byulyi raises her eyebrows, surprised. "that means i'm healthy and good for you."

the shorter tsks. "you wouldn't understand, you have a high metabolism."

'ahn hyejin, you're going to be with me for the rest of your life, so be prepared for all the healthy weight gain you'll get!' byulyi smiles as she continues to drive.

and by the time you know it, hyejin is already sound asleep from the quiet atmosphere and soft music playing in the background. byulyi quickly looks at the girl in the passenger seat.

quickly dialing sandeul on the phone, she connects her airpods to it. "sandeul-ah, could you also make a reservation for me at the jewelry place next to the restaurant as well?"

"right on it byul!" the man on the other line excitedly replies. "did you already get the ring ready?"

"i'm not a monster, of course."

sandeul laughs. "ahn hyejin is lucky, isn't she?"

byulyi looks at the sleeping girl next to her. "i'm more lucky to have her."
