Once again wattpad likes to test my patience and not do what I tell it to, so text parts are not as clear as I wanted them to be. You will see what I mean.

..........................

I was rummaging around in the cupboard for some cereal for breakfast, low and behold it's bare minimum. I need to go shopping. It was too early so I just grabbed whatever and poured it into a bowl adding some milk.

Just as I sat down with my coffee ready to eat my phone rang. Seriously who rings this early on a weekend. I glanced at the caller ID it was one of my close friends Chaeryeong.

"If you're not ringing me this early to tell me there is a 50% off sale at Costco then I'm not interested." I answered without greeting her properly.

"Close but no......" Chaeryeong replied lightly.

"Alright Chaer what is it?" I asked sceptically.

"Well.....a good friend of mine is moving house, you remember I've mentioned Y/n before right?" She started and I hummed my eyes glued to my breakfast, I just wanted to eat.

"Nayeon has back spasm and can't help out anymore so we are a woman down. We could use your strength. If you join I'm sure there is something in it for you......you can decline though, it will just take more time if we are a person down." My friend explained and I grumbled to myself.

"Sure.....can I eat my breakfast now?" I agreed reluctantly I heard a tiny squeal from the other line before she spoke again.

"Yayyyy!......wait so you were already up anyway? You made it seem like I woke you up you ass!" She playfully scolded me and I rolled my eyes.

"I was, doesn't mean I want people to contact me though." I replied in a monotone voice.

"Whatever monkey......I will text you the details. Bye bitch." Chaeryeong said down the phone making me chuckle. "Love you too bye bye." I responded amused hanging up and returning to my breakfast.

By the time I finished Chaeryeong texted me the details and I didn't have much time before I needed to meet them.

Putting my stuff in the sink and rushing to brush my teeth I left the house just in casual clothes, a t-shirt and some cargo pants as we were going to be moving stuff around and potentially get a little mucky.

It was around 9.30am when I reached the first location which was Chaers friends house, there was a moving van, objects and some furniture already packed already.

I wandered over after parking my car, the house was like a family home. I wonder why she is moving? My thoughts were interupted when Chaeryeong shouted my name and came over to greet me giving me a hug.

"Glad you could join us, we got started already. The others are already here and you can come meet Y/n."

She grabbed my hand and lead me into the house full of beans, way too much energy. All I could see was boxes upon boxes, the walls and shelves bare of any decoration or ornaments, it was no longer a home but merely a shell.

A mammoth task of getting all the boxes and bigger furniture into the van. Hopefully there is enough of us. We soon reached the others, Jeongyeon, Momo and Jihyo I guess were roped in. "Hey guys, long time no see." I happily greeted as they grabbed a set of drawers together.

"Oh hey Ryu."
"Hi Ryujin, I see she convinced you."
"Hiii!"

"I will take you to meet Y/n." She gestured for me to follow and lead me upstairs to the main bedroom. "Y/n, I have someone for you to meet she's the one I asked to help us." Chaeryeong interupted the woman's packing, she turned around and she was pretty no doubt.

"Y/n this Ryujin one of my closest friends and Ryujin this is Y/n who I've mentioned a couple of times." Chaeryeong introduced us and I got a little shy.

"Hi Ryujin, thank you for helping on short notice. I'm sorry if you have had to cancel plans." Y/n spoke apologetically and bowed briefly. I waved my hands at her." No its no problem really, nice to meet you." I bowed back.

"As if you had any plans in the first place....." I heard Chaer mumble under her breath beside me which I heard and elbowed her in the side. "Shut up." Glaring at her and I glanced my eyes back to Y/n who was smirking slightly. Great now I look like an idiot.

"Anyways I've got to get back to the study I'd almost organised everything. See you guys in a bit." Chaeryeong announced and left us two and now I was standing there kind of awkward, trying to keep my relaxed stance. "So uhh.....what do you need me to do?" I asked, it seemed like the main bedroom was for her to sort, understandable it's a private area.

"Oh right! Would you mind helping those 3 with the bigger furniture? Chaer said you were pretty strong?" She proposed which I didn't mind doing some heavy lifting.

"Sure anything no problem.....I will see you in a bit." I replied politely, she gave me a small smile and I left her to it.

Making my way back downstairs I went to help the older ones with the furniture. "Alright guys, you can relax a little Ryujin is here to save the day." I cockily made myself know while they were getting ready to lift a book case.

Jeongyeon scoffed. "Save the day my ass! We were doing just fine without you."

I quirked my eyebrow. "Oh is that so? Let me just sit on the couch and put my feet up and I will just observe."

"Ryujin don't listen to her, all this lifting is already making me hungry. The sooner we get the furniture in the sooner I can stuff my face." Momo interupted.

"Seriously any extra help is a bonus, it's like furniture tetris getting everything to fit in the van. Luckily not everything is going as the house is smaller." Jihyo stated, my brief stay on the couch came to an end and I got up to grab onto the bookcase.

We managed to tilt it on its side with 2 people at each end slowly carrying it out of the house careful to not strike against the walls or doorways.

We went back to the living room to get the next piece of furniture. "The couches are staying apparently, so we only have the coffee table and that other cabinet for this room. The TV will go in later." Jihyo was basically being chief organiser which I appreciated, I guess she was closest to Y/n.

"Me and Momo will grab the coffee table quickly." Jeongyeon told us as they maneuvered themselves to pick it up and take it away.

The two left and it left me with Jihyo as we stood and waited by the cabinet it was probably going to take three of us atleast. "So why is she moving? And to a smaller place?" I curiously asked killing time as we waited.

"Ohh....Y/n broke up with her long time partner, they are both moving to smaller places. That's kind of why we are trying to get this done quickly." Jihyo explained bleakly.

"That's rough, hopefully she can get a fresh start." I said optimistically and she gave me a weak smile.

"Yeah I hope so too, it's been a hard few months." Jihyo trailed off and I had kind of killed the mood with my question.

Luckily for us those two came back full of mischief as jeongyeon walked behind Momo she flicked her foot out towards the dark haired girl clipping her foot and knocking her leg into her other one almost making her trip. She stumbled slightly then stood up straight glaring hard at Jeongyeon who ran over to us giggling.

"Honestly you two, you are like elementary kids." Jihyo chuckled, Momo eventually made her way over to us pouting.

We swiftly carried the cabinet which was empty ofcourse and slotted it into the van.

*Third pov*

After a an hour or so of heavy lifting most of the downstairs was sorted as far as big items go, there was still numerous boxes around in each room ready to put in the van after the upstairs furniture was in.

With a quick break Ryujin and the others took the time to rehydrate in the kitchen. "Where's Y/n?" Chaeryeong questioned.

"She's been upstairs all this time, she better have been sorting and not sulking. I don't want to be the bad guy." Jihyo answered sighing.

"Right! I get it but please! Her ex was an asshole." Jeongyeon added.

"Hey Ryujin, what have you been up to lately its been a while since we saw you?" Momo changed the subject.

"Not much really, just bits and bobs in the house. Work you know and cruising through life I guess. What about you guys?" She replied casually shrugging.

"Well pretty much same, although Nayeon is kinda mad at me because I'm partially at fault for her back hurting." Jeongyeon answered rolling her eyes, Nayeon could be overdramatic.

"Ooooo I see.......was someone too rough in the bedroom?" Ryujin teased.

"If only, nah she wouldn't be mad if that was the reason. It's really dumb I was teasing her as usual and then long story short she tried to fight me and fell off the sofa landed on her back weirdly. So ofcourse it's my fault." Jeongyeon explained grumbling. The others chuckled as it was typical of those two.

"I've started seeing someone.....just I've kept in on the down low. I didn't want to upset Y/n you know...." Momo told them feeling a little guilty that her life was super good right now when her friend was struggling.

"Ahhh really.....cute, you will have to introduce them sometime." Ryujin happily said and the others quietly squealed making Momo blush.

"What about you Ji?"

"Same old for me, nothing really going on." Jihyo nonchalantly answered. After that they went back to work now on the upstairs.

It took another few hours to move the rest of the furniture items that Y/n was taking to the new house, doing their best to stack it so they could fit the boxes in after.

While the others had gone on ahead upstairs to begin picking up boxes of clothes, object, decorations and personal items Ryujin had snuck off back downstairs to get another drink.

The day was wearing her out, she hadn't done this much physical exercise in a while. As she was drinking down a glass of water, she heard noises coming from the front door area yet she hadn't seen anyone go past with anything.

She was about to go investigate when a small child burst through the door shouting excitedly "Mommyy!!"

The child hadn't realised that the adult she had ran into was not her mother. Ryujin was curious, she doesn't remember Chaer mentioning Y/n having a child at all if she was brought up in conversation.

"You.....you aren't my mommy...." The child's demeanor changing and becoming timid.

Ryujin chuckled smiling kindly. "Hi kid, no she's very busy upstairs. I'm sure she will be down any minute."

The child didn't get a chance to answer before another body rolled into the kitchen, a man of medium build, he had a cap on hiding his hair, a simple t-shirt, bomber jacket and jeans. His facial expression didn't give anything away as he cast his eyes over Ryujin.

Meanwhile Ryujin was clueless. "Umm hi....can I help you?"

"Ah....Great....so she didn't even tell you who I am. Rather rude. I'm Mingyu" He said seriously not being particularly polite and already Ryujin took a dislike.

"Am I supposed to? Like what...." Ryujin replied cooly earning a small scoff from the man. I mean Ryujin wasn't stupid she assumed he was either a family member or Y/n ex but because of how he's approached Ryujin she's just going to be stubborn.

"Guessing you are a new girlfriend or something? little something to mask the loneliness? Anyways I came here to see what she was leaving for me to take to my new place." He spoke condescendingly.

"So what if I am? What does it concern you?" Ryujin quipped back she's not going to let this guy walk all over her.

On the otherside of the door the rest of them were standing listening in, they had every intention of entering earlier but Jihyo had stopped Y/n. She knew Y/n was still holding on to a little feeling that her ex was nice however Jihyo knew better. So eavesdropped one knowing Ryujin can handle herself and two to try and make Y/n see the reality and for it to sink in that she is better off without Mingyu. They were kind of surprised by their friends responses.

"What kind of example it sets for my child.....no matter I'm sure you are just some kind of rebound." He commented as eyed up some of the furniture in the conjoined living room.

"I'm sure you set a wonderful example for your child with attitude like that." Ryujin bit back calmy which seemed to aggravate Mingyu as he growled going to make his way over to the woman in the kitchen.

Suddenly Y/n burst through the door pretending to be oblivious to the tension and atmosphere surrounding the room. "Hey I'm sure I heard someone shout mommy....." Y/n let out in a bright voice and Ryujin was actually relieved at the interruption.

"Mommy! I missed you!" The child excitedly let out running to hug her. After giving a loving smile and hug to her daughter Y/n expression changed as she took a look at her ex.

"Hi Mingyu, I wasn't expecting you so soon." Y/n said blankly. Mingyu gave a fake smile.

"I came to see if any of the furniture you were leaving was suitable for my place and.....?" he gestured over to Ryujin.

"Ryujin."

"Ryujin and I were getting acquainted." He spoke neutrally while Ryujin rolled her eyes subtley.

"Right. Well make it quick I have to finish packing the van." Y/n bluntly told him.

"Come on Minji, let's go get the rest of the boxes." Y/n sweetly spoke to her daughter and Ryujin swiftly followed behind leaving Mingyu to his task.

Out of the way and out of earshot Jeongyeon grabbed Ryujin slinging her arm around her shoulder. "Wahh.....look at you acting all cool."

"That was hella awkward what do you mean. Wait a second......you guys were eavesdropping the whole thing?" Ryujin rebuked cringing at herself.

"Nah I think you've helped Y/n see the light, I think you squashed that final bit of hope she had. Honestly Mingyu is an asshole he has been for a while. So it was for a valid reason.......maybe its time she came back to our team." The taller one explained.

"Huh? What?" Ryujin questioned confused.

Jeongyeon chuckled. "Why do you think Mingyu assumed you and Y/n had a thing? She had an ex girlfriend before she ended up with him, he's still salty about it."

A look of realisation hit Ryujin. "I guess that makes sense on why he didn't seem so fazed by it but more so annoyed. Anyways he was rude so I was being an annoying asshole back." She snickered at the end.

"We knew you could handle yourself." Jihyo appeared coming down the stairs joining the other two. "Speaking of......you're totally her type as far as the female gender goes." Jihyo pointed out wiggling her eyebrows at the younger one, she had caught the tailend of the conversation.

"You should totally make her forget all about Mingyu." Jeongyeon smirked.

"Whoa.....hold on. Time out." Ryujin became a little flustered while the two ganged up on her. "Pretty sure that's the last thing on her mind right now with the stress of moving and what not. What makes you think she would anyway?" Ryujin countered wondering where this is suddenly coming from and she was suspicious.

"Well right now I'd say......she in stage 5 of grief cycle. You are the key to stage 6 and 7......probably." Jeongyeon was practically talking nonsense she was amusing herself.

"Ease that stress Ryu.....hmmm?" Jihyo hinted giving Jeongyeon a knowing look.

..................

*Flashback to a few days ago*

Y/n had invited over her friends that were going to help her move and wanted to organise so she had them all come over to her house.

In the midst of all the organising as Jihyo, Jeongyeon, Momo, Chaeryeong and Nayeon sat there listening to Y/n. The five of them decided to team up and propose an idea to Y/n which could backfire, nevertheless the intention behind were good.

"Are we almost done with everything?" Nayeon asked boredly, Y/n looked up from the sheet she was holding seeing they were losing interest.

"Yeah I guess so, we can do the rest on Saturday. Seriously thank you guys for helping me." Y/n sincerely told them.

"We're all behind you Y/n." Jihyo said giving a reassuring smile.

"Actually.......we wanted to propose something." Nayeon hesitantly started speaking looking at the other for encouragement.

Y/n interest had been peaked. "Shoot."

"You can totally decline but we want to do this for you and I think you might be interested. Soo.....our friend Ryujin bats for our team....." Nayeon gestured toward herself and Jeogyeon briefly then she hesitated again.

"Basically we want to set you up with our friend. Not necessarily for a relationship just some fun and to make you feel good about yourself again. It's been a few months now and the house move is ready so why not....?" Jeongyeon overtook and blurted out what Nayeon was getting at.

Y/n shifted uncomfortably panning her eyes to them all who looked at her hopefully.

"Y/n, Ryujin is really nice. Her cool aura and style make her seem a little unapproachable but she's a great friend and a kind soul. Just think about it?" Chaeryeong added.

Y/n groaned running a hand through her locks, she knew she was certainly not ready for a serious relationship yet. Plus she had Minji to think about aswell, maybe a bit of fun was on the cards.

"Fine. But. If I'm not feeling it don't push me okay?" Y/n answered sighing in defeat while the others faces lit up and high fived in celebration.

........................

Ryujin ran a hand through her sleek shoulder length hair, unaware of the plan her friends had come up with a few days ago, the fact that Nayeon had actually hurt her back was mere coincidence yet it was the perfect excuse to get them closer when she had to take her place.

"Okay maybe, just don't push it okay?" Ryujin accepted.

"Whoop. Go get her." Jihyo giggled teasingly.

Ryujin felt a bit of pressure, she was normally pretty good at talking to women amd flirting, people often said she had an effortlessly cool aura. Now she had to live up to it.

With what happened earlier in the kitchen, Ryujin took it upon herself to go make sure she didn't overstep.

She knocked on the bedroom door which was ajar and heard a 'come in', Y/n attention immediately going to Ryujin with a faint smile.

"Hey."

"Hey, came to see if everything is ready up here? Majority of the boxes downstairs are loaded. Also......I hope I didn't overstep any boundaries before with Mingyu, I know you guys overheard." Ryujin spoke calmy further entering the room which was now all packed up.

Ryujin took the opportunity to take in Y/n appearance, she couldn't deny she was easy on the eyes. Although she was around the same height as Ryujin she had long legs, a pale but flawless complexion. Ryujin could see faint dark circles under her eyes probably from lack of sleep and stress she thought, however it didn't take away from her pretty facial features.

"No don't worry about it Ryujin, it's still hard to see him but we have a child together so it's inevitable and something I need to get used to. I'm glad you kind of stood up to him, he needs taken down a peg or two sometimes. As far as upstairs goes yeah....I think we are ready to start loading." Y/n responded reflecting on the incident as she picked up a box ready to head downstairs.

"Okay good, we've just met and I don't want to give a bad impression, hey careful with that it looks he-" Ryujin started speaking again only to cut herself off and jump forward preventing the box Y/n was holding from falling by grabbing the otherside.

"Heavy.....and you're going to drop it......" Ryujin let out quietly and chuckled, now the two stood facing each other with a big box
