Chapter 3 - Friends

Coming up the next morning, I woke with the sound of birds chirping and sun rays hitting my face, which made me open my eyes, besides the fact I never wished to wake up in this environment but it came off hard to rewrite my fate.

While I breathed and stretched my arms in the air with a tired body, I got a notification sound,

"Who is it? Texting me early in the morning?" I grabbed the phone from the nightstand and looked for the person who just disturbed my morning.

I couldn't hold back my brimming smile as I read the text.

My Life just texted me and I gonna count it as my good day because a good start brings a good ending.

Oh I forget to introduce my life: my friends

Bae)

Mi-Sun)

Min)

Eric)

Today was Eric's birthday so they chose to hang out, I was a little excited because I gonna meet them after a week which felt like a decade.

In excitement, I jumped off from the bed and due to which I didn't see the couch before me and panned out with minor harm on my ankle.

"I guess everything would not sound good today."

Taking steps carefully, I made my way to the bathroom for following the morning routine before meeting them.

After one hour,

I stood in front of the mirror and checked myself for the last time before leaving the house. I wore a simple off-shoulder dress which was in red. Everything was set my hair, my makeup and my dress sense.

"Let's go Jin-Ae before I face mom," I chuckled at my words and grabbed my purse from my closet.

"Oh shit, keys?" I slapped myself and came back to my room to pick the keys.

I was making sure to check my mom's presence in the living room but I saw Jee-ho aunt approaching me with a smile on her face.

"I know what are you searching for?" she seemed to read my mind but I looked at her with raised eyebrows, raising the question.

"Mrs and Mr have already left for the work, don't worry," I took a deep breath of fresh air and thank her by kissing her hands, I always made sure to make people smile with my presence around me.

As I moved forward, the voice of my brother dropped in my ears and which made me catch him in my sight.

"Where is my little going? Oh, wait lemme tell mom about this?" he teased me by addressing her name in front of me, and a happy expression on my face took a change of sadness all over.

Noticing my sudden change in expressions, he came near to me while giggles at my state.

Wrapping hands around my shoulder but I yanked his hands and moved away from him.

"Aww, my sister got angry. Alright, I'm not telling but tell me where are you going? I won't tell her, you know and what's with this new habit of pout? huh?" I knew he would not tell her but I just played around with him, pretending to be angry and then I looked at him from one corner of my eyes and the sight of him smiling caught my attention.

"I know my big brother and I'm going out with my friends for the celebration of Eric's birthday."

"Oh, today is his birthday, I forgot. Wish him from my side." Yes, he knew him after I invited them to his wedding so from that he seemed livable around them.

"Alright, I gotta go otherwise I would be late, bye and take care," I waved at him and rushed out of the big mansion but it didn't give me the feeling of love.

"Have a good day," I heard him shouting from inside and a small smile crept on my lips.

"S-U-R-E," I did the same thing, shouted enough loud to make him listen.

"Is breakfast ready?" the brother asked Jee-ho,

"Yeah, please come, I will serve you,"

"Did she had her breakfast?" he made sure to ask about Jin-Ae.

"She didn't,"

"Where are all other members?"

"They all left for the work early in the morning, and Mrs Ari also left with Madam," she informed him about the whereabouts of all the members and got surprised by Ari's actions because she always left with him for the work but what happened to her today, he thought and instantly he grabbed the phone to ask her if something is wrong as she never left without informing him wherever she went outside. But his cold behaviour towards Ari stopped him from texting her.

"She would be fine," he affirmed this statement just to satisfy himself from caring for her. He always played a role of a cold husband for her, never showed any kind of affection, no care for her. It wasn't because he disliked her but he liked someone else(Mi-Sun, a friend of Jin-Ae) before getting married to Ari and this was the main reason for him to play the role of a cold person around her.

"I will leave," he whispered after having his breakfast.

"Have a safe drive," Jee-ho spoke and continued to do the chores.

***************

"Hello my friends," I shouted after seeing them at Eric's farmhouse, whenever we had to celebrate any event, his farmhouse was the best place.

Stepping near to them, I hugged them one by one but hugged Eric a little tighter because he was the birthday boy.

"Happy Birthday, my handsome boy," I wished him and presented him his gift, he was so handsome that whoever gonna meet him for the first time, would compliment him about his looks.

"Here's your favourite brand's watch," I noticed his expression as he widen his eyes after seeing my gift, he loved wearing a wristwatch and I knew this so without any further thoughts I brought him a watch of his favourite brand.

"Oh my God, I never expected this. Thank you so much, Jin-Ae. I love you," I was happy to see him this much happy after having my gift.

"Okay, enough of you two, let's go inside,"

Min was done with our behaviour so she moved inside without waiting for anyone else to company her.

She was of a savage type girl and yeah hard to get, but she mentioned her love for her friends means us.

"I'm happy to see you here, Jin-Ae," I heard the voice of Mi-Sun, my brother's ex, she was so beautiful and intelligent at the same time.

"How are you doing?" I raised a question and crossed my hands with hers and went inside the farmhouse.

"Good, How's he doing?" not wishing for the same question I prayed to God but she asked again. She never missed a chance to ask about my brother whenever we met. She loved him so much and even now but nothing could be changed according to us, what is written down in our fate.

"He is good," I made sure to make her satisfied with my words and relaxed on the couch.

"So what's your plan for today?" Bae seemed to come up with a question and yeah it was still not decided that what we gonna today before he cut the cake in the evening.

Bae was a kinda bad girl because she went through a lot in her life which made her cold towards people and bad for some specific persons in her life.
