~Jin-Ae's POV~
"How you came around this?" I was beyond astounded, seriously it didn't just blow my mind with amazement like literally Brother didn't contact me for the whole day for which I was still holding a grudge against him, actually not just him Dad and Ari too.
"Bae, you are kidding right?" straddling on the couch, watching a movie in the living room while having popcorn. The sudden appearance of Tae-Hyun and Bae showed, which not only felt a bit surprising but also the look they had on their faces.
"Happy Birthday, beautiful writers," they whispered in unison and which instantly helped with the wide smile on the exteriors, I choked up considering to control the laughs that showed unexpectedly noticing the dress, the heels, and all makeover in the hands.
"What is this?" I asked, once managed to swallow the water beside me.
"That's a surprise!" Bae mumbled and pushed me towards my room, forcing myself with the steps.
I tried to ask her multiple questions however, being Bae, she interrupted with her stupid coming everything.
"Just shut your mouth, if don't want any scolding from me," she whispered and I kept quiet. But before entering the room, I peeped at Tae-Hyun, who was now the one to enjoy the movie with the popcorn.
"YOU BITCH, THESE ARE MINE," I yelled at him, as I watched him eating up all those leftover popcorn.
"Stop it!" Bae scolded but I didn't budge from the spot, all I noticed was him, smirking in the common direction.
"I ate," he taunted.
"I will see you!"
"Alright," again he threw the taunt, and unfortunately, at the present moment I couldn't help it otherwise I would have shown him better.
"Let's go otherwise you will be late," she said out at the moment, but observing her expression I realised that she regretted her sayings, as she instantly covered her mouth with her palm.
"Wait! What?" I said, catching up on the words she let out. With joined eyebrow, I revolved to confront her suitably.
At first, her thinking expression grew up with some excuse but being me, I titled my state at her state. She tried to make up some excuse but soon she closed, stretching the face, and without further delay, I understood that it was pissing off her.
"I meant to say like, getting ready," I knew that she was making up however, I didn't want to piss her off more, so I agreed without any questions.
"Alright!" I whispered!
And after one hour, she whispered into my ears, instructing me to open my eyes.
"See, you are such an angel in this dress!" she said, and indeed she was right.
But the first thing I noticed in the mirror was the dress. Form-fitting, strapless, gold sequin dress. I could tie it in with what I looked like in it, did it accentuate some good feature, like curves or waist, did it seem to make me look confident, comfortable, restricted, did it match my shiny blond hair, or my pleasant smile (other comparisons with shiny yellow or gold things, summer), that sort of thing.
I couldn't get another sight of something else, but me. For the first time in my beings, I couldn't repudiate the certainty that I was actually beautiful today, and for conclusive no one could suppress that.
"You are beautiful, I wish that Sung-Ho was here to see such a beautiful lady tonight," her words made me grin, but mentioning his name, immediately made me upset, and the grin disappeared when encountered those memories with him in the past.
I moaned, not wishing Bae to notice the sudden change in my attitude. So, pretended to wish for him.
"I wish he could be," I almost muttered, but somewhere my heart was hoping for the same, wishing for his presence, however, I knew he couldn't make it and the same was the situation with me, being in three years, I changed a lot, as well regretted my attitude back then, I would have made everything perfect as before but that scenes everything dominated my mind with negative thinking.
"Jin-Ae? Come with me!" Bae whispered, for the last time I peeped in the mirror, glancing at myself.
And then respond with the head in her direction. "Yay! everyone would love you like this," again she complimented me, enhancing rosiness to the cheeks.
"Stop it!" I jokingly hit her arm, wanting to stop her from throwing so many compliments.
She laughed however soon the atmosphere was interrupted by the phone ring, hinting it was Bae's.
"Hello," she greeted.
After the conservation of almost two minutes, she hung up the call with "okay"
"What happened?" I asked, considering her expressions of worry and tension. She looked at me with an apologetic look.
"I have to go urgently, please come with Tae-Hyun!" she uttered and soon she went away from space in a matter of seconds.
"Alright, but be careful," I said, laughing at her clumsy figure.
After passing of few minutes, I walked downstairs, watching him standing by the support of the table, with a crossed arm over chest. "You take so long," he said being exhausted while waiting for me, like the clicking sound of my heels gathered his attention promptly.
I moaned before reaching the floor.
"And I'm so sorry for that, now what's?" I said arrogantly, not glancing at him as the anger of popcorn still sounded dominating for me.
"Oh miss, it's your birthday otherwise I would have paid equally," I chuckled at his adorable tone, but not wanting to hold it for further, I crossed hands with his arm.
"Let's go, man," I said, smiling at him brightly.
"Alright, let's go!" he whispered, and then we started walking towards the front door, switching all the lights, I turned off everything before walking out of the mansion with him.
"Please Miss!" he let out as such a gentleman, opening the passenger door for me, I grinned and got inside with thank you.
