Broken

So, returning to Korea wasn't as easy as Nayeon had planned. Leaving Jihyo again was already bad enough, now she had a possibility of her getting a boyfriend and it didn't sit well at all. Momo waiting for her at the airport helped a little, but the girl was just there to take her home, before having to leave for whatever else she had to do with her dad. So here we have it, Nayeon, a worrying mess, overthinking about her little baby sister and not even moving to wash the plane away before bed, she just sat there and stared into nothing.

Mama Im had enough and came up to kick, quite literally, her daughter to the bathroom and demand she showered before coming down to dinner, giving the girl half an hour to be sitting on the table and eating her dinner, otherwise there would be more kicking. Nayeon went, begrudgingly, but she did it anyways, she just didn't want any more kicking and knew her mom would definitely do it.

She tells them about the time together with Jihyo, the friends she met there and the possibility of a boyfriend, papa Im was a bit agitated, but his eldest calmed him down (they wouldn't put it past him to board the very next plane and bring his youngest back). Momo shows up for dessert, with a duffel bag, saying she was spending the next three days over, even though they were back to school on monday, she argued she still had the entire next day to be with her girlfriend and that was that.

"So, how was it?" Momo asks, after they settle for the night. "The truth, please."

"You know how she was always stunning, right?" Nayeon asks, cuddling up to Momo on her bed.

"Obviously. I mean, I do have eyes that still work."

"So, she is like, totally toned now, and has a tan, and her hair is purple. I might have ruined my pants a little when I first saw her."

"First of all, ew. Second of all, don't ever tell that to anyone else. Also, I'm guessing the photos don't do her justice?"

"You have no idea. And I was really surprised by the friends she found there."

"Were they nice?"

"Very nice. Her roommate isn't all there, but she is great, I think you two would be great friends."

"Hey!"

"Not sorry. Oh, and there is a possible boyfriend."

"What? And you just let him?"

"Calm down, maybe? He has a bad love story too, sadder than Jihyo's, if I might say so."

"Do tell."

"So, his name is Christopher, and his flower withered when he was a baby, then he fell in love with his childhood friend, cliché, I know, but the friend isn't interested at all, like, not even considered."

"Sounds tough. But he is alright, though?"

"Seems like it. And he said he wanted to try it with Ji, so I decided to give him the chance."

"I'm so proud of you, being all big sisterly and all."

"Shut up."

"I love you too, Yeonnie." And Momo kisses her silent before an argument breaks loose.

She knew Nayeon enough to be certain the girl would talk the entire night if allowed to, and Momo just missed her in this week apart, she wanted cuddles and kisses and for her girlfriend to get some sleep, she knew a tired face when she saw one. So they just get their attention back to the movie they had on and lowered the volume enough for it to become a lullaby to them. In no time, both were deep asleep, thank Thanos for modern technology that turns things off by themselves.
