"Minji, I know you listen well so call me if one of you gets in trouble."

"Yessir."

I saluted at him and he hugged me as well, waving his hand and taking off with the car. I turned to look at Yoohyeon and smiled, holding her hand and leading the way inside the airport.

We made our way inside the lobby and immediately noticed two short girls jumping and waving, identifying them as none other than Bora and Gahyeon.

"There you two lesbians are! We almost thought you ditched us here."

Bora went up to Yoohyeon and gave her a hug. She turned her head to stare at me and stood right infront of me. I gulped and smiled, not knowing what was going on.

"We have some unfinished business from yesterday, don't you think so Kim 'Buy a good quality microphone' Minji?"

Bora pat my shoulder, tilting her head and giving me her creepy smile. I turned to Yoohyeon, asking for help with my eyes, but she blew me a kiss and ignored me while walking towards Gahyeon and Siyeon. Traitor..

I slowly turned my head back at Bora and pretended to be shocked and pointed at somewhere behind her, saying that Siyeon got in trouble. She instantly turned her head, falling for my lie. I took this opportunity to make a run for it and hid behind Dami. Bora angrily shouted after being tricked and ran after me, both of us circling and laughing around Dami, who seemed unbothered by her surroundings.

"Just what exactly is wrong with you two.."

9:56 AM / KMJ

After a while of waiting, it was our turn to check in and we all safely made it through security and baggage handling. We made our way to the departure lounge and waited for our plane.

Yoohyeon sat next to me and took her camera out, snapping a quick picture of me. I didn't get to pose on time and Yoohyeon laughed the moment she saw how it turned out.

"You look adorable! I'm going to print this out."

"Oh c'mon! Take a new one, I looked funny in that one."

"Nuh-uh! I'm keeping this forever. But I'll let you take one as well."

She handed me the camera and I located the snap button, accidentally taking a picture of my shoes. Yoohyeon suppressed her laugh which made me scoff but I got an idea. I turned the camera towards my face and pulled Yoohyeon into a kiss and took a picture of us. I smiled at her dazed expression and showed her the picture.

"We look cute, don't you think?"

Yoohyeon didn't say anything but nod, still shocked by what I did. Her face turned red and she shyly coughed, excusing herself and not so subtly smiling.

I looked back at the camera to smile at the picture but felt the terrifying aura of two eyes pierced on me from afar. The shivers I felt that moment weren't explainable, as I felt threatened on the spot. I cautiously moved my head to find those eyes, and I found the person who was eyeing me and a sudden drop hit my heart.

"D-Dad?"

I whispered to myself the moment I saw the man who caused me pain my whole life. He had an undefined look on his face but I could tell by his aura that he was pissed off, very pissed off. He frowned while switching his gaze to someone else - that being Yoohyeon.
