"Hana!"
The young woman turned in the direction of her name being called and smiled at the girls. She then waved as she made her way over to them.
Although her name was Chae In Ha, she has gotten attuned to being called Hana since it wasn't too far off and she couldn't blame her foreign friends who couldn't pronounce her name properly. She couldn't count the number of times she burst into laughter when they attempted it, it sounded so funny.
"Hi, girlfriends!" She leaned over, hugging all three of them, before turning to the fourth girl who had a party hat on her head.
"Happy birthday, Rachel!" In Ha screamed and threw herself on her. She hugged the girl tight and Rachel didn't seem to mind because she embraced her in return.
"What took you so long?" Rachel pouted, "We were tempted to begin the party without you."
Today was Rachel's birthday and they were currently at the club to help her celebrate it. Tonight, they were going to drink as if tomorrow doesn't exist.
"Why do you think I'm late? Of course, I was getting your gift!" In Ha announced, pulling the wrapped box that she had been hiding behind her back and handing it over to the birthday girl.
"Oh my God!" Rachel screamed in delight while accepting the gift, "Thank you so much, Hana!" She hugged her once more, pecking her on the cheek.
"No, it's nothing," In Ha giggled and went to sit beside her. Seeing the happiness on Rachel's face made her feel at peace and satisfied.
It was a long story but the girls, Allison, Gwen, Helen, and Rachel helped her survive in this foreign country after her family banished her here and they became friends ever since.
All four of them had different personalities and came from rich family backgrounds with Rachel being the most affluent since her mother's sister was the wife of the president of the country. But even at that, there was one thing they shared in common, the life of the party!
Even with their powerful background, each of them had their demons to face, but even at that, they were there for each other. They depended on their friendship and strive for it to thrive. So here they are, having fun together as usual. In one word, they were not just friends, they were family!
"Thank you so much, Hana," Rachel thanked her, her tears almost ruining her makeup. The girl was a softy.
"Come on, open it. Let's see it!" Her other friends urged her, curious to see what Hana had gotten her.
Seeing that she has no choice, Rachel began to unwrap the gift and in the end, pulled out a sexy black lace lingerie. Rachel went red in the face while the others screamed in approval, and Hana giggled mischievously.
"Oh no, that is naughty, Hana," Rachel chided her playfully, her cheeks still flushed.
"No, that is the best gift, Rachel! You're twenty-three this year and it's time someone popped that cherry!" Allison supported Hana's gift.
Out of the five of them, Rachel was the one with her V-card intact, and for a good reason. As someone from a political background, Rachel was supposed to adhere to manners and upper-class demeanor befitting her aristocratic upbringing. This means no whoring around or bringing a bad stain to the family name especially with the elections around the corner.
But then, Rachel hardly sees her ever-busy parents and spends almost all of her time with them, the "black sheeps" as they are fondly called. Hence, it wasn't hard to be influenced by them.
While Rachel was dealing with a lack of attention from her parents; Alison had to compete with a smart and overachieving sister and was seen as inferior in the family; Gwen was torn in between separated parents; Helen had to live with an abusive father who couldn't be brought to law because he had power.
And as for In Ha? Well, let's just say that her problem was numerous. Being sent away by her parents because they were ashamed of her careless lifestyle was the tip of the iceberg. She liked it here anyway and hoped nothing ever brought her back home.
"No, you're definitely doing it tonight," Helen added, "And with that lingerie, which means you have to put it on!" She suggested and the others cheered her on.
"No, no, this is embarrassing," Rachel complained.
"Oh please, can you be flexible for once? It's not like your parents are here to see you neither did they give a f*ck," In Ha was sorry for bringing up such a sensitive issue but it was time the girl loosened up.
Rachel stiffened but didn't say anything, she just bit her lips nervously. In Ha sighed and leaned closer to her, throwing her arm around her shoulder, "You have nothing to be afraid of, popping that cherry is the best feeling in the world. Moreover, we are not leaving your side." She reminded her of their undying support.
"Fine, let's do it then." Rachel finally gave in and the girls cheered, giving each other a high five. Although Gwen was the quietest and didn't talk much, it was not hard to see that she supported this idea as well.
"Let's go!" Allison was the first to be on her feet and came around Rachel, grabbing her on the shoulder and began to lead her in the direction of the restroom.
The restroom was a bit occupied at first but the girls waited and as soon as it was empty, they put out the "Temporarily Not In Use" sign in front and went in.
"Quick, change into it!" They pushed Rachel into one of the toilet stalls and waited. They couldn't wait to see how she looked in it.
Not long after, the stall door opened and Rachel stepped out, tugging shyly at the garter belt strap around her thighs.
Gwen whistled low in her throat while Allison snapped her finger at In Ha saying, "You do have an eye for good things." Rachel looked incredibly sexy in that two-piece underwear set.
"Thank you," In Ha did a ceremonial bow that caused them to chuckle.
"All that remains is the sexy male to put our effort into good use," Helen said.
"I still feel uncomfortable," Rachel complained, squirming like a fish out of water.
"Don't worry darling, you'd get used to it," Allison told her, smoothing her hair,
"Our problem at the moment is getting you the perfect male lead,"
"Oh don't worry, leave that to me," In Ha said proudly and the girls didn't argue with that. Out of all of them, In Ha was good at attracting the opposite sex.
That was her superpower.
Yep, people, that's our female lead right there. How are two people with polar characters going to exist?
