7 April 15

~MALL~

"Hey, I'll just gone go to the comfort room, okay?"

Said Yeonae to Hayden, Danica and Jihun as she walks towards the comfort room. As soon as Yeonae was out of sight, Danica quickly looked at Hayden with a smirk on her face.

"Let's go hide from her again."

Said Danica to both Hayden and Jihun as she walks away from the comfort room. Hayden quietly followed Danica while Jihun was left standing there alone.

"Why do I always have to come with the two of you whenever you want to hide from Yeonae-ya?"

Asked Jihun to Hayden as he rapidly ran towards him. Hayden quickly stopped from walking, looked at Jihun and walks back to him.

"You want to be close to Yeonae-ya, majda (right)? Then do what we tell you to do because we know her so damn well than you do."

Answered Hayden to Jihun as soon as he stands in front of him then walks away and continued to follow Danica. Jihun sighed as a sign of defeat.

"For Yeonae-ya, I'll do everything."

Said Jihun to himself as he rapidly ran towards Hayden and Danica. A few moments later, Yeonae walks out of the comfort room and starts to look for her cousin and her friend.

"There they go again playing pranks on me. HA. HA. SO. FUNNY."

Said Yeonae to herself as she began to walk around then giggled to herself all of a sudden. She must be nuts.

"Never gets old."

Said Yeonae as she took her phone and began typing on her conversation with Danica that she'll be waiting for them at the food court inside the mall. But before she finished typing on her phone, she suddenly bumped into a tall young man wearing a white polo shirt and pants.

"J-joesonghabnida (I'm sorry)! I-I didn't m-mean to."

Apologized Yeonae to the tall young man that she bumped into as she bowed and looks at him.

"Gwaenchanayo (It's okay). No one got hurt."

Replied the young tall man to Yeonae then smiled at her sweetly. Yeonae smiled back at him awkwardly.

"Oh. I got to go. See ya."

Said the tall young man to Yeonae, smiled at her then began to walk away. Yeonae bowed to the tall young man once again then waves her hand to him. The young man waved back at her as soon as he saw Yeonae waving at him then continued to walk. As Yeonae began to walk around again…

"Does that scenario already happen my dreams? Why do I feel like I'm experiencing Deja vu?"

Asked Yeonae to herself as she continues to walk around. After winding up herself, Yeonae found four empty seats at the food court and quickly takes a sit there. She then took her phone from her pocket then texted Danica that she's already waiting for them at the food court. After Yeonae sent Danica her message, she pressed her writing app and continues to write her story just to entertain herself.

"Well, look who it is writing her story again while trying to bond with her friends."

Said Danica to Yeonae as she, Hayden and Jihun walks closer to Yeonae.

"Hey there eonni (older girl *female to female*)."

Said Yeonae as Danica hugs her from behind while Hayden quietly takes a sit in front of Yeonae. Jihun wants to sit beside Yeonae but he wasn't able to because Danica quickly takes a sit beside Yeonae who now locked her phone and puts it down on the table.

"Mwo (What)? Just go sit beside Hayden-ah."

Said Danica to Jihun as she shooed him and quickly pays all her attention to Yeonae. Jihun subtly glares at Danica then takes a sit beside Hayden.

"So... How's your walk around the mall? Anything interesting happened?"

Asked Danica to Yeonae as she leans towards her more. Yeonae pouts, looks down then looks back at Danica.

"I think I'm experiencing Deja vu."

Answered Yeonae to Danica seriously as she holds both her friend's hands. Danica quickly narrowed her eyebrows as she continues to look at Yeonae, Hayden raises his eyebrow as he looks at his cousin and Jihun also narrowed his eyebrows.

"Jin-jja (Really)?"

Asked Danica to Yeonae as she continues to look at her and both her eyebrows are now raised. Yeonae nods as answer while Hayden subtly leans in as well.

"What' the scenario?"

Asked Hayden to Yeonae as he continues to look at her. Yeonae quickly looks at her cousin then removes her hold from both Danica's hands.

"Earlier, I bumped into a tall young man, I apologized to him and he said that it's okay because no one got hurt then he hurriedly goes. I am a hundred percent sure that it already happened. But I can't recall exactly when that happened and the person I bumped into."

Answered Yeonae to Hayden as she looks at the table. Hayden nods as a response while Danica looks at her friend with wide eyes and Jihun crosses his arms and lean his back on the chair.

"In case you bumped into a young handsome man... Would you feel that lucky?"

Asked Danica to Yeonae with a smile on her lips. Yeonae slowly showed her smile to Danica then nods as an answer, making her friend squeal.

"I mean who wouldn't, right? If the man is handsome, I'm pretty sure that most girls will feel so lucky bumping into one."

Answered Yeonae to Danica as she shrugs her shoulders while still smiling to her friend. Hayden scoffed as he leans on the chair and crosses his arms while still watching both Yeonae and Danica.

"Kya~! You really are my bestie! We both have the same brain cells and that is why I love you so much!"

Said Danica to Yeonae as she kissed her friend on her cheek while Hayden looks at Danica with his poker face and Jihun rolled his eyes as he continues to cross his arms.

"Ya! For your information, I have more brain cells than you eonni (older girl *female to female*)."

Said Yeonae to Danica as she gently pushes Danica away from her and Hayden quickly brightens up and laughed because of what Yeonae just said to Danica.

"Nice one, Yeonae-ya."

Compliment Hayden to Yeonae as he grins at her while holding his thumb up. Yeonae quickly looks at her cousin and smiled at him then looks back at Danica who's now pouting while still looking at her.

"Aww~ Eonni (older girl *female to female*) is sad. Do you want Hayden oppa (older guy *female to male*) to comfort you, eung (huh)? Eung (Huh)? Eung (Huh)?"

Said Yeonae to Danica as she began tickling Danica's chin as if she's her pet while smiling to her friend. Danica slapped Yeonae's hand under her chin, crossed her arms then looks away from her friend.

"Aww~ Eonni (older girl *female to female*) is mad at me. Wae geuleonji gunggeumhae (I wonder why)."

Teased Yeonae to Danica as she touches her temple with her index finger as if she's thinking while still smiling. Hayden continued on laughing as he keeps on watching his cousin and his friend and Jihun keeps on watching them too, but with irritation in his eyes.

"Geumanhae (Stop it)."

Said Danica to Yeonae in a serious tone as she looks back at her. Yeonae continued to smile at her then opened her arms.

"I'm sorry bestie."

Apologized Yeonae to Danica as she continues to open her arms waiting for her friend to hug her while she's still smiling. Danica cannot hold herself any longer so she hugged Yeonae with a smile on her face.

"Already forgiven."

Said Danica to Yeonae as they continue to hug each other with smile on their faces.

"Ya. What food do you guys wanna eat?"

Asked Hayden to both Danica and Yeonae as they let go from their hug.

"Oh~ Oh~ Churros and carbonara, please~!"

Answered Yeonae to Hayden happily as she quickly looks at her cousin with a huge grin on her face, making Hayden chuckle because of her.

"I want spaghetti and mango graham cake or maybe mango graham shake! Wait... Is it your treat, Hayden-ah?"

Said Danica to Hayden as she looks at him. But before Hayden can even start to talk to answer Danica's question, Jihun interfered.

"My treat!"

Said Jihun to Danica happily as he quickly looks at Yeonae then smiled at her. Yeonae slowly looks at Jihun disgustedly and sighed.

"Ij-eo beolyeo (Forget it). I'm not hungry anymore."

Said Yeonae as she stood up, took her phone from the table and puts it inside her pocket and began to walk away, while Danica, without any second thoughts, quickly followed Yeonae.

"Yeonae-ya! Hintayin mo ako (Wait for me)! Ay, hindi pala 'to nakaka intindi ng Tagalog (Ah, she couldn't understand Tagalog). I FORGOT. Naleul gidarisipsio (Wait for me)!"

Said Danica as she continues to follow Yeonae, while Hayden and Jihun are the only ones left at the table.

"Plain great, Jihun. Nice work."

Said Hayden to Jihun as he sighed then stood up, followed both Danica and Yeonae and left Jihun all by himself.

"What was I doing wrong?! I've already done almost everything just to have her! What was it that she really wants that I can buy her?!"

Asked Jihun to himself as he hits the table, making other people whose sitting near him looks at him with shock.

"What was he talking about?"

Asked a person to the other.

"Moreugesseo (I don't know). Maybe he likes a girl but she doesn't like him back?"

Said a person to the other.

"MAYBE HE'S NOT THAT GOOD IN BED. IF I WERE THE GIRL, I WON'T LIKE HIM BACK EITHER."

Guess a person and told it to the other person she's with.

"PFT. STOP IT. THE GIRL DOESN'T LOOK LIKE YOU CAN EASILY BRING HER IN BED."

Replied the person to the other as the others continued whispering about Jihun while glancing at him. Jihun hit the table once again, making them people shut up, stood up from his sit then walks away.

"HE COULDN'T TAKE A HINT! I ALREADY TOLD HIM THAT I DON'T LIKE HIM FOR A THOUSANDTH TIME BUT HE JUST DON'T GET IT!"

Complained Yeonae as the three of them are now walking around the mall. Danica looks at Yeonae and caresses shoulders to calm her down.

"Take it easy, Yeonae-ya. I think he's already driving his way home."

Said Hayden to Yeonae as he tries to calm her down too. Yeonae ignored what her cousin said and walked faster than both Danica and Hayden, making herself bumped into a young handsome man wearing black cap and blue t-shirt.

"Yeonae-ya! Neo gwaenchanh-a (Are you okay)?"

Asked Danica to Yeonae as soon as she comes near her and the young handsome man that her friend bumped into.

"J-joesonghabnida (I'm sorry)! I-I didn't m-mean to."

Apologized Yeonae to the young handsome as she bowed and looked at him apologetically.

"Gwaenchanhseubnida (It's okay). No one got hurt."

Said the young handsome man to Yeonae with a sweet smile on his face as he looks at both Yeonae and Danica.

"Joesonghabnida (I'm sorry), but I got to go. Have a good day."

Said the young handsome man to both Yeonae and Danica as he continues to smile at them and began to walk away from them, while Hayden walked towards them as he looks at the young handsome man that Yeonae bumped into.

"Who's that?"

Asked Hayden to both Yeonae and Danica as he looks at the two of them.

"An angel from up above."

Answered Danica to Hayden as follows the young handsome man with her dreamy eyes while smiling stupidly, making Hayden roll his eyes at her.

"Someone I bumped into and now I feel like I'm experiencing Deja vu once again."

Answered Yeonae to Hayden as she looks at him with a trace of confusion in her face. Hayden looks at his cousin confusedly while Danica continues to look at the young handsome man with her dreamy eyes.

"Let's just find a restaurant so that we could eat."

Said Hayden as he began to walk, leaving Yeonae and Danica behind. Yeonae quickly followed him quietly, leaving Danica behind, who's still looking at the young handsome man like an idiot.

"Oppa (older guy *female to male*), look at eonni (older girl *female to female*). She looks like an idiot back there."

Whispered Yeonae to Hayden as they both looked back at Danica who's still standing there all alone while staring at the other way where the young handsome man went.

"Let's just leave her there until she's back with her senses."

Said Hayden to Yeonae as he continued walking while his cousin keeps on looking at their friend and Danica is still standing there, daydreaming about the young handsome man that Yeonae bumped into.

"Good afternoon, sir. May I take your order?"

Asked the cashier in a fast-food chain to Hayden as she looks at him with a welcoming smile on her face.

"I'll have one carbonara, one spaghetti and one burger please."

Answered Hayden to the cashier as he looks at her with a sweet smile on his face.

"With drinks, sir?"

Asked the cashier to Hayden as she keeps on looking at him with her dreamy eyes.

"Ne (Yes)."

Answered Hayden to the cashier as he continues to smile at her sweetly then gave her his payment. The cashier slowly takes Hayden's payment as she continues to look at him and finally come to her senses and began counting the money.

"I receive ****."

Said the cashier to Hayden as she presses the monitor and puts the money inside the cash register while blushing in front of Hayden.

"Yoo Yeonae!"

Called Danica to Yeonae as she walks towards the table where Yeonae is sitting while looking at her friend furiously. Yeonae burst out laughing as soon as she sees Danica.

"Why didn't you call me earlier, eung (huh)?! I looked like an idiot back there!"

Complain Danica to Yeonae as she takes a sit in front of her friend while she's still looking at her furiously. Yeonae laughed even harder than before because of Danica's reaction.

"If you girls aren't hungry then there's more for me."

Interfere Hayden to both Yeonae and Danica as he places the tray he carries with carbonara, spaghetti, burger, two forks and three huge drinks on the table between his cousin and his friend.

"Finally! I am starving to death!"

Said Danica as she quickly took the spaghetti and a fork from the tray. Hayden quickly looked at Danica with his eyebrows narrowed as he places the carbonara in front of Yeonae.

"Oh, so now you're looking at me like that after leaving me all alone like an idiot back there instead of apologizing to me."

Said Danica to Hayden as soon as she glances at him, looks on her spaghetti and starts to mix it. Hayden and Yeonae quickly looked at each other with both their eyes wide open.

"JUST SIT NEXT TO ME AND YOU'LL BE FINE."

Mouthed Yeonae to Hayden as she takes her fork from the tray while still looking at her cousin. Hayden nods as his response then quietly takes a sit beside Yeonae as she slides the tray in front of him.

"So… who paid for these?"

Asked Danica to both Yeonae and Hayden as she took a bite of her spaghetti.

"Hayden."

Answered Yeonae as she took a bite of her carbonara, making Hayden choke and quickly sip from his drink to help him swallow his food while Danica quietly looks at him.

"Jinjja-ya (Really)?"

Asked Danica to Hayden as she now looks at him with her eyes wide eyes open. As Hayden finally swallowed his food, he clears his throat and sips from his drink again.

"Wae (Why)? You don't want?"

Asked Hayden to Danica as he took a bite from his burger. Danica didn't answer Hayden, instead she took another bite from her spaghetti making him chuckle while Yeonae watch them quietly with a huge smile on her face.

"So... Where do we go next?"

Asked Yeonae to both Hayden and Danica as soon as she finished eating carbonara, making her friend looked at her plate with wide eyes.

"How is she a fast eater?"

Asked Danica to herself as she took another bite of her spaghetti while still looking at Yeonae's plate.

"Do you guys wanna go to a *coka (Korean slang - coin karaoke)?"

Asked Hayden to both Danica and Yeonae as soon as he finished eating as well, making them both quickly gave him all their attention with a huge smile on their faces.

"Is it your treat as well?"

Asked Danica to Hayden as she continues to look at him while grinning.

"Eung (Yes)."

"Kol (OK)!"

Answered both Yeonae and Danica to Hayden happily as they raise both their arms in the air, making them people look at the three of them.

"Then hurry up and finish your food if you don't wanna be left behind."

Said Hayden then wipes his mouth with a tissue while Yeonae sips from her drink as she now scrolls down her phone.

"I'm talking about you, nuna (older girl *male to female*)."

Said Hayden to Danica while smirking at her as he now sips from his drink again but cannot sip any.

"Who sipped on my drink?"

Asked Hayden to both Yeonae and Danica as he now looks at both of them while holding his huge cup. Yeonae slowly looks away from both his friend and his cousin as she continues to sip from her drink and locks her phone to put it back from her pocket.

"I'm busy eating here, so it's not me."

Answered Danica to Hayden as she took the last bite of her spaghetti, making him glare at Yeonae who's still sipping from her drink.

"All finished! Let's go!"

Said Danica as soon as she stood up while wiping her mouth. Hayden and Yeonae stood up as well and began walking out of the restaurant, making Danica follow them as quickly as possible.

"20 songs please."

Said Hayden to the staff of the coin karaoke as he gives him the payment.

"This way, sir."

Said the staff to the three of them as he guides them to their karaoke room and they excitedly followed him. After arriving at the karaoke room, the staff quickly arrange the karaoke then leaves as Danica quickly picked a song.

"091402"

Said the karaoke as Danica press the numbers. Once the song began playing, Danica starts singing as well.

"Hmm... oh, this one."

Said Yeonae as soon as she found the song she wants to sing then gave the song book to Hayden and press the numbers at the karaoke while Danica is still singing.

"Yeonae-ya, go press the numbers 040601."

Said Hayden to Yeonae as he looks at her while still holding. After pressing the numbers for her song, Yeonae also pressed the numbers that Hayden told her then takes a sit beside him.

"Who's gone sing next?"

Asked Danica to both Yeonae and Hayden as she reaches out the microphone in front of them two. Hayden quickly points at Yeonae using his index finger. Danica, without a doubt, gave the microphone to her friend. As the song began playing, Yeonae also began singing the song Without Me of Halsey.

"FOUND YOU WHEN YOUR HEART WAS BROKE~ I FILLED YOUR CUP UNTIL IT OVERFLOWED~"

Began Yeonae as Danica and Hayden cheered for her gleefully.

"TELL ME HOW'S IT FEEL SITTIN' UP THERE~ FEELING SO HIGH BUT TOO FAR AWAY TO HOLD ME~ YOU KNOW I'M THE ONE WHO PUT YOU UP THERE~ NAME IN THE SKY~ DOES IT EVER GET LONEY~ THINKING YOU COULD LIVE WITHOUT ME~ THINKING YOU COULD LIVE WITHOUT ME~ BABY, I'M THE ONE WHO PUT YOU UP THERE~ I DON'T KNOW WHY~ THINKING YOU COULD LIVE WITHOUT ME~ LIVE WITHOUT ME~ BABY, I'M THE ONE WHO PUT YOU UO THERE~ I DON'T KNOW WHY~"

"WHOO! GO YOO YEONAE!"

Cheered Danica to Yeonae as she now plays the tambourine.

"THAT'S MY COUSIN Y'ALL!"

Yelled Hayden as he watches Yeonae sing. As the song keeps on playing and Yeonae keeps on singing, both Hayden and Danica continue to cheer for Yeonae.

"I DIDN'T KNOW THAT YOU HAD IT IN YOU!"

Compliment Danica to Yeonae as she made the tambourine her bracelet, touches both her friend's hands and made her stand to jump around the karaoke room together. Yeonae grins at Danica as they keep on jumping around the karaoke room then Hayden took the microphone from his cousin because his song already began.

"So... is Halsey your role model?"

Asked Danica to Yeonae as they take a sit beside Hayden who's now singing his heart out.

"Ne (Yes). Her songs really reflect herself. Raw, encouraging, unique and has strong impact."

Answered Yeonae to Danica's question as they continued on searching for their other songs to sing from the song book together.

"GO HAYDEN AGORA!"

Cheered Danica happily to Hayden, making him wink at her while Yeonae continued on searching on the song book.

"What's the first song of Halsey that you listened to?"

Asked Danica to Yeonae as she looks back on the song book and continued searching for other songs.

"Hmm... Ghost."

Answered Yeonae to Danica's question as she stood up from her seat then press the numbers of the song that she chose.

"Could you sing it for me Yeonae-ya? I'm not familiar with that song."

Asked Danica to Yeonae as she looks at her while still holding the song book. Yeonae nods as an answer. A little while later, after Yeonae finished singing the second song that she chose, the song Ghost of Halsey began playing and she began to sing as well.

"MY GHOST~ WHERE'D YOU GO~ I CAN'T FIND YOU IN THE BODY SLEEPING NEXT TO ME~ MY GHOST~ WHERE'D YOU GO~ WHAT HAPPENED TO THE SOUL YOU USED TO BE~"

Sang Yeonae, leaving Danica speechless because of the angelic voice that she has.

"Your... Your voice. Oh my god. Your angelic voice Yeonae-ya. If only the world could hear and appreciate it."

Compliment Danica to Yeonae as she now touches both Yeonae's cheeks and smiled at her, making her friend smile back at her.

"Who's next?"

Asked Hayden to both Yeonae and Danica as he looks at both of them while he's holding the song book.

"I am!"

Answered Danica to Hayden's question then quickly raises her hand as she removed her hands from Yeonae's cheeks. Yeonae gave Danica the microphone then took her phone out from her pocket.

Few more songs were sang and they finally finished hanging out with each other at the coin karaoke.

"Aaahh! I wish I had a voice like yours Yeonae-ya! I'm so jealous!"

Said Danica as they walked out of the coin karaoke, making Hayden roll his eyes as Yeonae suddenly feels shy then blushed.

"Aw~ Why are you being so shy? You have an angelic voice! So don't you dare be shy because of your talent!"

Said Danica to Yeonae as she quickly holds Yeonae's hand.

"She's right, Yeonae-ya. You shouldn't be shy because of your voice. You should let other people hear it, too. Like Danica, for example. She let us hear her uhm… that kind of singing voice. Is that even considered as a singing voice?"

Said Hayden to Yeonae as he now looks at Danica with a smirk on his lips just to tease her, making his friend glare at him. Yeonae bites her lower lip due to second thoughts that runs around her mind.

"Stop thinking about your second thoughts Yeonae-ya. It'll just keep on blocking you from reaching your childhood dream to become an idol."

Said Hayden to Yeonae as he now looks at her and place his arm across her shoulder.

"Bu-..."

Said Yeonae but couldn't be able to finish the word because Danica quickly touched her mouth with her friend's index finger.

"Don't be discourage of what others say or might say to you, bestie. You don't need their freaking approval to reach for your dreams."

Said Danica to Yeonae as she removes her index finger from her friend's lips while smiling and looking at her.

"Because in the end, you are the only one who can make yourself happy. You can freely choose who you want to be and this is your life to live."

Added Hayden to what Danica said to Yeonae to encourage her, making his cousin sigh.

"Ya. Don't follow other's dreams for you. Follow your own dream. Be whoever you wanna be. Jaeho, Hayden and I will stay right beside you to support you and for you to lean on to. We'll always here to support you no matter what you choose, okay?"

Said Danica to Yeonae as they continue to walk around the mall. Yeonae slowly looks at Danica and smiled at her as she tightens her hold on her friend's hand then looks at Hayden and grin at him, making her cousin grin at her as well.

"Okay!"

Said Yeonae all hoped up as she raises her head high while still smiling and holding Danica's hand, making both her friend and Hayden smile and hope with her.

"We will help you achieve your dream to be an idol!"

Said Danica to Yeonae as she jumped then walk again while still holding her friend's hand, making Hayden and her friend giggle because of her.

"Mwo (What)? Gaja (Let's go)! Let's celebrate!"

Said Danica to both Hayden and Yeonae as she lets go of her hold from her friend's hand and began to jump around the mall happily, making them people look at her strangely.

"How did we became friends with her again?"

Asked Hayden to Yeonae while the both of them are still giggling as they watch Danica to jumps around.

"I already forgot but I'm glad that we have a friend like her. She's so supportive and all. It's like she's a total package for a best friend."

Answered Yeonae to Hayden as they happily followed Danica wherever she goes or jumps. Hayden suddenly pats Yeonae's head while smiling.

"Don't forget to stay humble when you become an idol one day, okay? Attitude and personality are the most important quality of a person. Also, don't judge others just because of their appearance. Always remember that."

Said Hayden to Yeonae as he now put his hands inside his pockets while still smiling. Yeonae nods as an answer and smiled at him.
