present (2019)

"how's my main bitch doing there? seen any hot papi yet?" miso grinned at the screen of her laptop

"i ditched my org meeting just to videocall by my clingy bestfriend who's thousand miles away asking for a hot papi instead of giving her bestfriend a proper hello"

miso snickers at her bestfriends dramatic reply "you don't deserve a proper hello when i just found out that you brought my favorite sweater with you without any permission"

"oh this?" mandy points at the sweater that she's wearing "it's warm i like it and excuse me sis i picked it out for you so it's technically mine"

"but i bought it with my money" miso deadpans

mandy shut up and smiled as if she didn't hear anything "anyways got some news for me?"

mandy flew all the way to the city of love which is paris just to pursue her dream and passion, fashion designing. mandy stood up like a sister to miso ever since their family migrated to los angeles. the wang family are immigrants from gwangju south korea, hoping to have a better life in the states.

miso was bullied for being asian but mandy adored her a lot. they grew up together.

mandy stayed by miso's side since they were kids. she saw all of the phases of miso's fangirl life, from one direction to her present...love

the most difficult phase was the time when zayn decided to leave the group, miso was getting out of her mind, she cried her heart out for god knows how long but good thing is mandy was there to calm her down.

miso's life revolves around her idols and make-up.

there's something about make-up that gives her satisfaction and calmness until one time she decided to post a picture of herself on instagram and it surprisingly received tons of likes and comments saying how pretty she looks.

it gave her a boost of confidence so she continued making make-up looks, not only for her followers but also to make herself feel better inside.

"why aren't you posting something on your ig?" the girl on the other side of the screen asks

"i can't think of anything to post" miso groans as she sat up from her previous position, massaging her sore back with a grouchy face

"you lazy ass" mandy laughs "jungkook should see your ugly ass right now"

"hey! i look decent and stop dragging my baby into this, i'll be seeing him soon" she straightened her posture as reached out for her phone "here look! i managed to snatch a spot for the pit!" miso showed her purchased ticket to the webcam

"'managed to snatch' my ass" mandy mockingly air-quotes with her fingers "i bet you refreshed the page nonstop before the day of the selling so you could get a good spot. i know you miso so stop thinking as if you're fated to meet jungkook"

"not gonna lie anymore but i agree with that" mandy smirked and raised her brows, a look that says 'i told you so'

"except for the fate thing. we both know that it's going to happen" mandy's smile disappears by miso's reply

"here she goes again" mandy groans in annoyance

"remember what you said to me 5 years ago? i still hold onto that and it's going to happen s-"

miso was cut in between her sentence when her little siser opened her bedroom door

"eonnie, mom's calling you downstairs"

sohee happily said and ran towards to tackle her big sister in a big hug

"is that mandy eonnie? hi eonnie we miss you!" the little girl smiled to the camera, showing her missing 2 missing teeth smile

"hi sohee! you're getting big now! you're prettier than your sister" mandy praises the little girl who returns a loud giggle while miso gives mandy a fake smile behind

"okay i'm hanging up bye mandy, let's talk again soon love you bye" miso ended the call before mandy could say another word and shut her laptop close

"mommy wants to talk to you downstairs" sohee says as she looks at her sister with her big doe eyes

"okay baby" miso pecked her chubby cheeks

since sohee and miso's age gap is quite big, miso adores her little sister so much. sohee was born on the 3rd year of them living in the states, miso was 15 when she met her baby sister and it was one of her best memory of living in the states so far.

"miso come here" her mother pats the empty space of sofa beside her

she obediently sat beside her mom but when she was about to lift her sock covered feet, she felt a harsh slap

"no feet on the table" her mom scolds

"no need to slap my thigh" she massaged the sore area "what do you want to talk about anyway?"

her mother's mood suddenly shifts to excitement, it's clearly seen on her eyes

"remember my cousin sujeong?" her mother turned her body towards her so she's facing a bored miso

"yes your cousin/bestfriend that you talk about nonstop?" miso said with a monotone

"right she's pregnant and she's giving birth soon!" her mom claps in excitement

"okay that's it?" miso asks her joyful mother "well congrats to her bye bye" she stood up and was about to leave when her mom pulled her back down

"wait, that's not really the news" her mom calmed down as she takes some deep breaths

miso looks at her mom weirdly, waiting for her to drop the bomb

"since she's pregnant, she has to stop her job so she's looking for someone to replace her for the mean time" her mom obnoxiously wiggled her eyebrows at miso who looks confused

"she's a kpop make-up artist, i don't know what group it is but i'm hoping that you would agree since you're good with make-up?"

kpop. make up. the two words that makes her heart flutter so without any hesitation

"i'll do it"

why not grab the opportunity quickly right? this is my chance to show everyone where i'm good at.

"um what company does she works in?" miso nervously asked as she tightly twist her middle and pointer finger behind her back wishing for some kind of luck

"hmm" her mom thinks as she feels her sweat build up on her hairline

"bigtime? bigcity? i forgot but it has the word big on it" she mumbles and she took her phone "wait lemme che-"

"is it bighit fucking entertainment!?" miso blurted out still being shocked and excited

"yes that's it! without the...f word of course" her mom slap her arm

miso didn't hear what her mother said when her mind drifted off to different possibilities that could happen in the future. she's going to see bts, not only on stage but also backstage wearing an authorized staff lanyard as she puts make-up on the member's face. she can finally admire their faces up-close and to prove if they have pores or non. a dream she's dying to have is finally coming to her.

mandy dear, i told you it's fate.
