From the Diary of Son Chaeyoung

Chapter 22

Dear Diary,

Why is my breathing so heavy? I am afraid that I am not doing better in taking care of myself. I am scared.

We are in the middle of playing Krystal's console when Tiffany and Mina showed up with their business attires which made Krystal and myself drop our jaws. I nudged her and she  just shrugged, the both of us are not aware where these two are going.

"Where are you going?" Jisoo, who happens to be in the kitchen, eating some of my oreos asked the two on our behalf since Krystal and I were too busy checking them out.

"I may be a doctor but I have a career in fashion and I decided to help Mina with hers." She even made Mina turn around and show-off her cute dress.

I couldn't help but burst into laughter at Tiffany's response. "You, a doctor and a fashionista? That's quite the combination!" I teased, nudging Krystal playfully. She joined in on the laughter, shaking her head in disbelief.

Tiffany gave us a sly smile, twirling a strand of her perfectly styled hair. "Well, you know what they say, Chaeyoung. I'm a woman of many talents. Saving lives by day, slaying fashion by night."

Mina, who had been quietly observing our amusement, chimed in, "And I'm the lucky one who gets to have Tiffany as my fashion consultant. With her impeccable taste, my career is bound to skyrocket!"

I pretended to gasp dramatically. "Oh no, Mina! Are you saying you're going to leave us all behind and become a world-famous fashion icon? What about our gaming nights and late-night snacks?"

Tiffany raised an eyebrow mischievously. "Don't worry, Chaeyoung. I'll make sure to dress you up in the most fabulous gaming attire. You'll be the trendiest gamer around!"

Krystal joined in with a grin. "Yeah, Chaeyoung. Soon you'll be rocking designer headphones and couture gaming jerseys."

Jisoo, who had finished devouring my oreos, finally caught up with the conversation. "Wait, does that mean you'll dress up as a doctor too, Tiffany? We can have themed gaming nights! Medical-themed gaming marathon, anyone?"

I couldn't hold back my laughter anymore, doubling over and clutching my stomach. "Oh my gosh, Jisoo, that would be hilarious! Tiffany, can you imagine us all playing video games while dressed as doctors and fashion icons?"

Tiffany giggled, joining in the contagious laughter. "Absolutely! We'll be the most stylish group of gamers ever. Who needs conventions when we have our own fashion show right here?"

As we all continued to joke and laugh, I couldn't help but feel grateful for the incredible friendships I had. No matter how ridiculous our ideas or endeavors were, we always managed to have a good time together. And in that moment, I realized that the laughter and joy we shared were worth more than any career or fashion statement.

"Wait a minute," I said, trying to suppress a sudden wave of jealousy and paranoia. "Where are you two really going dressed like that?"

Tiffany exchanged a mischievous glance with Mina before leaning in closer to us, as if about to reveal a secret. "Well, Chaeyoung and Krystal, prepare yourselves for the shocking truth. We are actually secret agents!"

I exchanged a bewildered look with Krystal, unsure whether to believe her or not. "Secret agents? Are you serious?"

Mina nodded, a mischievous glint in her eyes. "That's right. We've been leading a double life all this time. By day, we're doctors and fashion enthusiasts, but by night, we fight crime and save the world!"
