...I'm wondering
Are you my best friend...
You snuggle deeply into your fluffy bed covers. It's Saturday a wonderful rest day. You decided to sleep in today. Lui Mei was the early bird today taking care of your laundry and general upkeep of your dorm room.
As she was wiping the worktop desk a phone was ringing non-stop. Liu Mei looks around where the source of the noise is coming from. It's your cell phone. A missed call from Aunt Seulgi, your mom. Hopefully nothing bad.
She continues with her dusting and wiping. A few minutes later the phone rings again. Liu Mei grabs the phone to place it on silent then she sees the caller ID. Mr Annoyer. She decides to answer it.
"Good morning Mr Annoyer to what do I owe the pleasure of hearing it speak?" Liu Mei asks in a dull tone, slightly annoyed that her cleaning time was interrupted.
"Morning to you too Ms 'I'm too good to this world'. Why are you answering Yunru's phone?" Dylan responds in a sarcastic voice. Liu Mei rolls her eyes at Dylan. How can a person still be annoying at this time of the day? "Her majesty is sleeping the sleep of the righteous. Please call again after 2 hours-" She chuckles at as she looks at your sleeping form.
"Why? It's already 12 pm!" Dylan's unexpected shout causes Liu Mei to move the phone a few centimeters away from being damaged. She shakes her head and clicks her tongue.
"You insisted that she goes to that stupid park with you, so she had to pull an all-nighter for her assignment that is due on Monday,"
Dylan sighs. "...I'm sorry ...I'll let her sleep ...can I make it up to you, I' 'll buy you lunch?" He asks apologetically.
"Well if you want Y/n to cherish you more buy us American food. From the food, drinks, desserts, and snacks. We are hanging out with Sana and Dahyun later," Liu Mei smirks. She prefers it when Dylan is trying to show his apology by buying food.
"Can't I just buy from our cafeteria," He asks.
"Seriously Dylan, don't be a miser...I'm going to have a 21st coming-of-age birthday party and you'll be invited," Liu Mei clicks her tongue again.
"Ok...send my girl, my love-"
"Ew! ..bye!" She hangs up quickly. Disgust covers her facial expression. Liu gets back to cleaning.
...
You wake up a few minutes later, well-rested. Lui Mei informed you about the miss calls and Dylan. You decided to quickly call your mom. Mingmei misses you and you spoke to your sister and mom for a few minutes.
You texted Dylan and went to wash and dress up in something comfortable.
Lui Mei is on her laptop looking up party venues, her Dad wants her to send him her preferences. She is so excited. You don't really want a party, only dinner with a few close friends and family. Then again it's not your birthday party that is coming so soon, so you rather accept the choices that Liu Mei decides.
You also recently found out that Dylan's grandparents who live in the Philippines want him to visit them on his birthday.
....
The girls were all lounging in Sana and Dahyuns'room munching on the food Dylan sent and watching fancams of the USA and Brazil concerts. The "real" ARMY " in the room were exuberant with joy as they watch the lucky ARMY's fan cams.
They read articles about the concerts, the reception in these countries, and even the interviews and the news media. Liu Mei shouts when she saw an article about death threats against the boys in the US.
"Army will not stand for this..." Lui Mei viciously does hand gestures. She is livid that she only finds this out now.
Sana saw something on her laptop an announcement, she squeals, jumping up and down. You all look at her with confusion. "What!" Dahyun and Liu Mei asked curiously.
Sana turned the laptop to them. "Our boys have been nominated by Billboard for the "Top Social Artist Award for 2017," There are screams and shouts of joy. You cover your ears from the noise. You are happy for BTS, you just pray and hope that you don't become a squealing fangirl.
"It's in May a month from now," Liu Mei states with excitement clouding her.
The girls talk about how they will vote for the boys. You hope they win. You are half an ARMY and a Blink, Bangpink. You love your girl band Blackpink and you learned earlier that it's better to stay quiet because the Army's and Blink's fandom are always butting heads. They can engage in huge fandom wars on social media. The members you like most are Jisoo and Lisa.
Lui Mei doesn't realize that you downloaded the group's debut song Boombayah, you placed them with your favorite Bts songs on the playlists you made. Shockingly you even know the lyrics, and dance steps and secretly dance when you're alone in the dorm room.
Dylan even became a fanboy of Blackpink. He likes Jennie, but he insists that you are more beautiful. As if...
...
After half a day of BTS indulgence and a full meal of the boys, you all decided just to rest and talk about random college things. Sana takes a sip from her drink.
"Did you guys apply for any Internship at any companies? I'm waiting for an answer from a few photography studios. Lots of aspiring photographers want to work there. I just hope I'm lucky. If my portfolio wins at the exhibition, I'll definitely have a chance," Sana passionately places her hand on her chest.
"Did you get a model for your main focus?" Lui Mei asks Sana while looking through her phone. Sana nods and takes another sip from her drink.
"Yes I went to a famous modeling agency and they referred me to four girls, but their daily rates are very high and they are well-known models and very snotty with bratty attitudes. If I could get one of them it would be a guaranteed A+. I'm waiting for the call from one of the models I've chosen, her name is Cho Song. My project partner Jing Li already arranged and booked the campus studio. He said he's going to call me tonight to finalize the time. We shoot on Tuesday," Sana informs everyone.
You pat her on the back. "Don't worry ...You will have an awesome portfolio. What about you Dahyun?" You turn to the purple-pink-haired student lounging on the bed. Dahyun shrugs. "I applied to five major graphic design studios...but I'm not so sure if I want to go there. I thought about entertainment companies and applied for a part-time job instead, as a stylist assistant," You hum in interest. You turn to your best friend.
"What about you Mei?" Lui Mei is quieter on that because she's busy with a secret mission that involves you.
"I'm still deciding ...will let you know, did you get an email from that Tv studio Yunru," She waves you off absentmindedly. You shake your head at her. This piques Sana's interest.
"Where did you apply to?" Sana asks you. You smile at her.
"I've always wanted to go and work for Shanghai Television Studios. I applied for a video editing assistant or assistant director. But I'll see if I'm successful in getting an interview first," You really hope that they hire you, but you first need an email of gaining an interview.
"Wow, Yunru... out of Beijing. What did your parents say?" Dahyun asks, impressed that you want to work in Shanghai.
You just ate a few snacks and said "They don't know yet...I'll tell them once I'm successful. We still have to pass their interviews guys, Lui Mei didn't you say you'll want to go to that fashion house in Shanghai as a stylist?" You turn to Liu Mei who seems a bit distracted.
"They emailed me but I didn't get the interview. They only take 5 candidates per year. Most of them are fashion majors so-" Liu Mei fixes her sleeve.
"I'm sorry Lui why didn't you tell me?" You pout, it saddens you that your best friend didn't get the interview. Lui just laughs it off "it's ok, I got it this morning but forgot to tell you, now you know," Your mouth makes an 'O' shape. You narrow your eyes at her.
You felt bad because the whole year Lui Mei was so sure she'll get the internship there. She was so looking forward to going with Lui Mei to Shangai for three whole weeks as an adult. All by themselves You girls decide to watch a movie.
...
It's 8 pm, You and Lui Mei head to your dorm. Lui Mei looks very tired and you choose to do some finishing touches on your assignment. Lui Mei just throw on her t-shirt and jumped under the covers with a quick good night to you.
You went to your desk to unplug your cell phone from the charger since you left it in the dorm. There are several text messages from Dylan. Why is he blowing your phone up like that?
3:00 Hi Yunru darling ...are you up for an early breakfast tomorrow morning?๐๐
3:15 Yunru...
3: 20 Yun are you ignoring me...๐
4:00 Yun... answer, please๐
4:15 ok I see your friends are better than me now...๐ณ
4:20 they are stealing you away from me...๐
5:00 it's official ...I hate your friends๐ ๐
6:00 Yunru are you there...knock knock...urgh! ๐
6:10 ..ok enjoy your girl's day...love you.๐
You just giggle at the clinginess of Dylan and the stupid emojis. You really hope you don't turn out as Soulmates he'll drive you crazy with his jealous antics. It's pretty late but you decide to quickly text him back.
8:13 Hi dork...ok only If Lui Mei can join us. She feels a little off because of some news."
8:13 Thank you, Lord! Yunru is alive and well.
8:14 I'll cancel now.
8:14 Don't it's ok...bring Lui with you. You not mad at me for last night about...you know...
8:15 No why should I, I kiss you back didn't I? I was just mad at the whole soul-bounding process but I'm ok Dyl.
8:15 So does it mean we can have passionate make-out sessions now and then...
You pull a face. He makes it sound really uncomfortable and disgusting.
8:16 Don't push it...and no definitely not!!! Ew Dyl. That's gross. I'm not into face-eating ...
8:17 Lol ok..just joking. You are so adorably innocent.
8:17 Let's keep it like that. I'll see you tomorrow not before 8 am, please.
8:18 Ok, I'll pick you guys up by 10 am. Is it enough time to make yourself luscious for me...?
8:19...good night.
You just shake your head. You don't have time for Dylan's perverted nature. You took out your laptop and with determination, you start working on your paper. The plan is to ace it with another A+
Meanwhile in Sana's Dorm room.
Dahyun smiles while wiping off the table " I'm so glad we befriended Yunru and Lui Mei...they are too adorable," Sana nods her head at her best friend's words.
"True...Yunru is a lot more reserved than the quirky Lui Mei. Total opposites," Sana helps clean up.
"But it seems that the campus heartthrob Dylan is smitten with Yunru. He likes her a lot. Do you think they'll turn out as soulmates," Dahyun asks with curiosity. Sana shrugs.
"I really don't know...they have good chemistry as friends now..so anything is possible. But Tao has a huge crush on Yunru I saw it yesterday during the study session" Dahyun laughs. " Dylan even asked her out. Poor Tao got the message loud and clear," Sana shakes her head, remembering yesterday's study group session.
"That's sad... she is effortlessly beautiful. Lui mei said a lot of boys like Yunru. She just ignores them. I think Dylan scares them away. A pity she's so fun size, her face is pretty enough to be an actress or model," Dahyun mentions.
Dahyun also swept the floors while Sana got rid of the trash. She quickly went out to take it to a designated area in the hallway for trash deposits. Dahyun decided to get herself ready for a quick shower when she heard the door open with a bang. Sana looks livid.
"Urgh, that two-faced cow...how dare she!!!" Sana stamps her foot with fury. Dahyun looks concerned at the mad antics of the usually composed Sana.
"What happened... Sana!" Dahyun shouts. Sana throws her cell phone with fury on her bed, her eyes are wild with inner turmoil.
"San..." Dahyun approaches Sana cautiously.
Sana with her hands in her hair. " I just got a call from Li, he said our model Cho decided to go with Bey Wei. Bey apparently has better prospects. Her photoshoot will be on her father's yacht and she got outfits from a top designer for her portfolio. She .. practically stole our only model... the audacity. Li is livid," Sana plops down with tears in her eyes and started to sob.
"That witch ...She always played you with underhand tactics. She just thinks because she's our department's campus bell she can get away with everything," Dahyun seethes in anger.
Sana sniffs. "We even paid upfront to book the studio and hired outfits. Cho said we aren't professional enough and she can't be photographed in cheap outfits. She's got an image to uphold. She couldn't face me who got her. Instead, she lays it on poor Li," The money she saved went for nothing.
" What are you going to do now? You need a model asap. What about the other.." Dahyun rubs Sana's back soothingly. "I have to think fast now...all the good ones are booked out by the other students. Even the studio canceled our booking, apparently, we were supposed to confirm yesterday afternoon. I didn't even know that. I think Bye Wei wants to sabotage my work," Sana sighs.
" you won't fail this final task. You will exhibit your photo portfolio in our gallery and you will win the first price place okay ... wipe your tears...just give me a minute," Dahyun states with confidence and a determined look.
Dahyun sprints out the door. Sana feels defeated, she knew why Bey Wei hates her. She's soulmates with a young successful Japanese CEO. She and Bey grew up together as rivals at school. She also stole Sana's only boyfriend in year 1 at high school. It's just like her to sabotage all Sana's projects and Sana is sick of this immaturity.
Just then Dahyun runs in with you beside her, your face holds complete confusion. You just remember Dahyun running into your dorm and grabbing you by the wrists. Dahyun has a triumphant look on her face.
"Ta-da..presenting your new model," Dahyun gestures her hands to you with the brightest smile on her face.
"What!!" Sana and You shout.
A/ N. Thank you for all your support. Hope you enjoyed the chapter.
