LOVE, JOSHUA - H.JS

[ lipstick ]

- 5 years later -

"Yebin!" I exclaimed as music was blaring from her room.

I got so fed up that I just walked towards her room and opened it without any warning.

"Mum! You were supposed to knock," Yebin scolded me.

"The music is too loud," I scolded Yebin back.

Yebin then said something, but I couldn't hear her.

I shook my head and went to her speaker to lower the volume.

"Hey, don't do that," Yebin snapped at me.

"Yeah, don't do that," Yejun agreed with Yebin. "It was some good music."

I looked at the two teens and realised that Yebin was wearing lipstick.

"How much lipstick are you wearing?" I asked Yebin in shock.

"Mum!" Yebin exclaimed and threw a pillow at me.

I immediately got out of her and closed the door, not wanting to argue with her any longer.

"Have you gotten your passports?" I asked my parents as the two were eager to leave to go on a vacation.

"Yes," my mother replied.

"Alright, what about your extra clothes," I asked as Yebin closed the gate of my parents' house.

As I continued asking them questions, feeling worried about them, my father just turned around and hugged me after placing his bad into the taxi.

"Lilia, calm down," my father said with a smile. "We're prepared. Okay?"

"Okay," I replied as we broke the hug.

"Bye!" My mother exclaimed as she got into the taxi with my father following after.

As Yebin and I waved goodbye to the moving taxi, I looked at Yebin to see her wearing lipstick - again.

"So, as my parents happily leave to go on a vacation, I'm stuck here and nagging to a 13 year old about her lipstick," I complained as I cleaned the floor while ranting to Seungkwan. "Like how fucked up is my life?"

All of the sudden, I heard footsteps stopping in front of me. I looked up and saw the one person I hated in high school - Kang Kyungwon.

"Kyungwon!" I yelped in surprised.

"Lilia Lee," Kyungwon said. "You work here?"

Damn, she's definitely more fashionable than she was before. Well, she is a model, what else am I supposed to say.

"Yeah, I just got promoted to reception," I boasted.

"Awww, congratulations," Kyungwon said in a fake voice that was supposed to seem happy for me.

"Oh, but you," I changed the topic. "Your success, it's amazing."

Kyungwon sighs and began to boast about all the places that she'll be going. "I just arrived from Morroco, I'm flying out again tomorrow: Daegu, Seoul, Busan - nightmare."

"Oh, god bless," Seungkwan said as he fixed his hair.

"Yeah," Kyungwon agreed and looked back at me.

"Seoul? You should look up Joshua," I suggested.

"Really? Joshua Hong?" Kyungwon said with a small smirk. "You guys still keep in touch?"

"Of course! You can do it with a friendly face."

"Yeah! I'll get his details from you later," Kyungwon said and took her hotel card from Seungkwan. "Thanks. Oh yeah, can I get some Evian sent up to my room? It's the only water I can drink. Three bottles and room service twice a day. Thanks~"

As Kyungwon walks off, I looked back at Seungkwan to see him already staring at me. "That's how fucked up your life is," he said with a really pity face.

Miju : That's all from me for today :] I hope two chapters was enough xD
