Months have passed and something has changed.

Jeongyeon is not always at home, she prefers to be in NaMoSa's or with Byul and Solar. Mina is always at Chaeyoung's place while Jihyo is busy with her work.

The home they have doesn't feel like home anymore maybe because they find home somewhere.

Jihyo plops down to the sofa as soon as she reached home.

"Damn, it feels like I'm living all alone" she heaved a sigh as she scan the area.

She is busy scrolling on her instagram feed when she remember that Jeongyeon's birthday is already coming.

She immediately dialled Jeongyeon's number.

"Why did you call? Is there a problem?" Jeongyeon asked on the other line.

"It's your birthday on Friday. San tayo? What do you want?" Jihyo cheerfuly asked.

She heard Jeongyeon's chuckle from the other line.

"Sa bahay? I don't know. I probably won't celebrate this year. Matanda na ako para jan" Jeongyeon replied.

"Oh come on!!! Napaka-KJ mo naman! Let's celebrate! Teka, asan ka ba? Umuwi ka nga dito sa bahay! Hindi ko na kayo nakikita ni Mina ha, nagtatampo na ako!" Jihyo whined.

"Pauwi na ako, wait for me. Kumain ka na? I'll bring you foods" Jeongyeon sighed.

After telling Jeongyeon what she wanted to eat, they both ended the call. Jihyo waited for Jeongyeon.

"So, ano ngang plano?" Jihyo asked, with her mouth full of tteokbokki Jeongyeon brought for her.

"Everyone is busy, so it's impossible for me to celebrate. Ayoko makaistorbo sa sched ninyo and besides, matanda na ako to celebrate. I'm fine with staying at home" Jeongyeon replied without even looking at Jihyo.

Jihyo looked at Jeongyeon with guilt on her face.

"Drama mo, basta magcecelebrate tayong tatlo. My treat. Kahit san mo gusto" Jihyo reached for Jeongyeon's hands.

"Bili mo ko hamster na din, may nakita ako sa pet shop kanina eh" Jeongyeon smiled like a kid at Jihyo who just chuckled and nods in approval.

"Mina, are you busy this Friday?" Jihyo followed Mina on her room.

"Chaeyoung is planning to have a roadtrip this week but I don't know if it will be on Friday. Why?" Mina answered, looking at Jihyo. Curious on why the eldest is asking her.

Jihyo heaved a deep sigh, sad at the thought of Mina not remembering that day.

"It's Jeongyeon's birthday. I'm planning to throw her a celebration, just the three of us. But if you are busy that day, it's fine. We'll understand" Jihyo gave her a faint smile before leaving her alone.

Mina's mouth went agape upon the realization. How can she forget her bestfriend's birthday??

She decided to go to Jeongyeon's room.

"Yah!!!! You'll give me a heart attack!!!" Gulat na sigaw ni Jeongyeon habang nakahawak sa dibdib.

Mina also flinched in surprise. They both opened the door at the same time.
