Chapter XV

"Jang Aera!"

"Uhm-Ah, Soah!" The screams of the girls was what could be heard in the hallway, when the short-haired girl threw herself at the black-haired one and was on her back, they began to force themselves without a goal in reality. Soojin, who was behind SooAh, watched the two girls complain as they continued to shout at each other. "Soojin, tell her to let me go!"

"If I do, you'll go to bully's Seojun again!"

"Seojun is not a bully!"

"You didn't deny that you're going to go with him!" Her friend yelled at her, making the other respond, creating another wave of screams that Soojin just looked at before stopping them, approaching her friends.

"Come on, we'll eat tteokbokki. And I don't want ifs and buts". She said in a serious tone, Aera pouted before being dragged by SooAh, both of them walking behind Soojin. "What's going on with you lately?"

"What?"

"Yes, before you left us because Suho because you had planned movie night and that and now you leave us for Seojun, I thought we were priorities". SoAh complained like a child, even pouting at the girl, Aera smiled, denying.

"We haven't seen you with Suho lately either, are you fighting?" Soojin asked doubtfully, intertwining his arm with the girl's, just like SooAh.

"Suho and I broke up". Aera revealed and the shout in unison was heard loudly in the corridors of the place, the black-haired smiled, she knew that would be the reaction they were going to have.

"What? Why? How long? Did he do anything to you? He did it, right? I knew you couldn't trust that idiot with the good boy face and--"

"He didn't do anything to me". Aera calmed her friend down, denying, she knew that SoAh was capable of going to Suho and hitting him for her if something happened. "Ours is simply no longer ... It didn't feel like it used to, that's all". She ended with a small smile, wanting to avoid saying Jukyeong's name because she knew that she was her friend too, besides, the girl was not to blame for liking her ex-boyfriend, she was not going to make her the villain of a story that does not have one.

"But... I thought you would both go to California when you finished school".

The black-haired one shrugged, she hadn't thought about it, actually, she hadn't thought about anything related to her future lately, she was just living, which she didn't know she would enjoy so much. "Everything in its own time, maybe one of us will change their minds or maybe we will both continue to see each other at university too".

The two girls who were with her looked at each other before smiling mischievously, scaring Aera a little. "Do you know what that means, SoAh?"

"What have I been waiting for since Aera told us she had a boyfriend?"

"What?"

"Girls' night out after a breakup!"

"SEE YOU LATER, MAYBE NEVER!"

The track of the song that SoAh had wanted to sing since they proposed a karaoke at the Jang house, continued to play, joining it, the voices of the three girls who had a mask scattered all over their faces, their hair tied up with small pigtails or some hooks to prevent the hair from reaching their faces, their matching pajamas that they had bought several years ago.

SooAh's idea, she liked sleepovers.

In the living room of the house there were open pizza boxes, cans of soda and juice, pillows lying on the floor, the armchair in a mess with messy blankets on it while the only lights that could be seen at that moment were the multicolored ones that the huge screen of the living room provided.
