"Hey" Rae says in a hushed tone, hands behind her back, one on top of the other, her hair gathered in a ponytail.
"Come on in" Cara pulls her hand and drags her inside to her living room. Rae had never been to her place before. Well, she had shifted here just one and a half year ago and she'd been absent for double that time.
Cara's tastes were clearly displayed in the way her house was arranged. Bright colors all over the house. The walls, curtains, furniture. Everything had a vibrant light to it. Even her kitchenware was unusually bright.
She brought two big glasses of water and passed one to Rae as she sat on the opposite side of the table set amidst sofas on two adjacent sides of it.
"You should've said you didn't have a place to go to" Cara sits beside Rae and asks her to remove the coat she is wearing.
"I haven't been in touch with mom and dad. Joon is out of town too. Thought I could go to a hotel but they were rather too expensive or rather too risky to spend the night alone in." Rae takes a sip of water from the glass but then drinks the whole glass at once.
"You want more water?" Cara asks looking at Rae gulp down the water.
"Will ask when I need" Rae replies.
"You can tell me anything you know that right. No judgements." Cara smiles touching her hand gently.
"I know babe. That fucking wedding was such a traumatic experience." Rae rolls her eyes sliding down on the sofa to lie on it with her legs placed hanging on the side.
"Don't even mention that. Jungkook's just fulfilling his milf kink or whatever. She's like much older than him. Well, he did it with his conscious mind, he shall bear the consequences if any." Cara says sitting with Rae's head on her lap. Notices the red on the ends of her mixing with the black. Her smudged eyeliner and the faded lipstick. Rae was in her truest form.
"May I ask" Cara says with a smirk forming on her face. Rae mutters a 'sure'. She notices how Cara's fake eyelashes shimmer with the remnants of the glitter shadow that must've fallen down from her lids which were now bare.
"What were you doing with Jimin? Had you two been in touch?" She asks making Rae sit up with her legs folded underneath her.
"No. Absolutely no. I haven't been in touch with anyone. Jimin was just talking with me. Before I left I became his best friend. And he lost me suddenly I know he must've been hurt. Why do you ask?" She raises an eyebrow, her jaw tenses up.
"You should know something. I know I can share this with you." Cara pulls the lint from her jumper as she speaks.
"What is it?" Rae asks head rested on her palm and her elbow resting on the back of the sofa.
"Me and Jimin... we hooked up a couple times last year" She says blinking her eyes too many times. Doesn't looks up.
"Did you have fun?" Rae asks scratching the fabric of the sofa cover.
"Yeah." Cara affirms.
"Then good for you" Rae chuckles.
"It kinda messed with our friendship. We try to avoid any situations which might have us in proximity. Whatever... Are you back for good now?" Cara asks. Tries to not think about Jimin and the nights they spent together. It was special to her so so special. She had found an intimacy with him which she had never had with another but for him it was just a way to release pent up tension. She felt used.
"Hmm... Until someone doesn't fucks with me again." Rae purses her lips and her dimple makes an appearance.
"Who did?" Rae asks.
