Back For You

Prologue

"I'm back, South Korea."

I sighed and smiled to myself as I wandered around the city of Seoul once I stepped inside the Bentley my mom asked our driver to fetch me with in the airport. It's been 6 years, I guess.

6 frustrating-yet abundant years.

6 years since I left this country to reach my dreams in New York and finally, I'm now a freelance fashion designer with my designs being used in Chanel, Dior, and Jacquemus. My life in New York was the best, fashion really shaped and helped me get to know myself better even if that means leaving some people behind to get to where I am now.

Only time will tell but hopefully, I get to finish working on my own boutique and make my own clothing line in the future. But currently, the way I am busy designing for these luxurious brands hinders me from working on it.

But again, one step at a time, I'll get there! Jennie Kim will get there.

"Ma'am, won't you answer that call of yours?"

I was cut off from my daydream when the driver called for my attention. My phone has been ringing nonstop and I wasn't aware? God, was I thinking too much?

"Oh, right. Thank you." and smiled through the mirror.

"Yes, Rosie—"

[Oh, my god! Jen! Shocks, I fucking missed you bitchass!]

I laughed as I moved my phone away from my ears, my longtime high school best friend is being hysterical right now and I bet she already knew I got back already.

"How did you even know I arrived already? Jesus, it was supposed to be a surprise, you ruined it!" I teased.

[Uh, hello?? You posted a picture on IG and forgot to turn off the location on your post. You're still as superficial as ever. Now tell me, where are you?!]

I facepalmed as I realized my stupidity. I licked my lips and smiled.

"I'm on the way home to rest, I was planning on visiting you tonight—"

[Uh no, sissy! Go straight here in Stylenanda Pink Pool Cafe like right now! Got it? If not, you don't value the 12 years of friendship we have.] she demanded and I can just imagine her smirking right now.

Oh, my bestie Rose Anne..

"Wait, what's going on? Why are you there?"

[WAF omg, are you really my bestie?? Kidding, it's just a get together of all the people part of the entourage for my wedding in a few months. So come here now to meet the guests and all that. You'll design the gowns and suits for my wedding remember!]

My eyes widened as my mouth formed an "oh". Exactly, I would be styling the gowns and suits especially for the bridesmaid and groomsmen as well as the sponsors. My job, exactly.

[Hello? Still there, Jen? You coming or are we ending this friendship we've worked hard on?] she guilt tripped and I could seriously hear her fake tantrums to make sure my appearance will be felt in a few minutes.

I laughed, "Expect me in a few minutes, you know I can't resist you lucky girl."

She kissed me through the phone and I laughed as we ended the call.

"Change of plans, please drive me to Stylenanda Pink Pool Cafe now. I'll just message mom about it. Thank you."

My driver nodded as he immediately turned the car around and followed the new route going to the said cafe. I texted my mom about the sudden change of plans and she gladly agreed in no time given that she knows how I'm here for Rosie's upcoming wedding.
