Yerim meets me outside the museum wearing the biggest coat i've ever seen. Yerim came to America a little over two years ago now when her parents both got jobs at my father's company. At first I wasn't too sure we'd become friends but now she's my best friend.
"What's with the coat?" I laugh
Yerim narrows her eyes, "My mom wouldn't let me leave without it."
"What's next, sandwiches?"
My blonde friend grunts and takes out two zip locked bags with sandwiches, I burst out laughing when I spot the my little pony stickers on the bags. Yerim eventually cracks up and we head inside together.
The museum turns out to be some modern art museum filled with pastel coloured canvas',word art and statues looking like they belong in the Roman Empire era.
Yerim, unlike me is impressed with it all and manages to help me 'understand' it better. But my eyes dart around the room, looking for three girls in a group. But right when the doors open Yerim tugs me away to look at a sculpture.
I hear someone call for her. I hear them say her name. But I don't turn around. Instead I just listen to Yerim blab on about how pretty the colours splattered on the sculpture are. Yerim has other ideas.
She leads the way outside to have lunch, my eyes look left and I see three girls from the back. I know she's the second tallest one. Her hair is shorter now than in Joy's picture. I look away in fear she knows. As we leave I can hear obnoxious laughter from who I assume is Joy, followed by a smack by Irene. Seulgi says nothing.
I can't focus on Yerim and her precious 'Pinky Pie' or 'Rarity' or 'Rainbow Smash' or was it dash?
The sandwich is good but my mouth can't register the flavours and it's difficult to swallow. But I smile so Yerim won't see.
"Woah, dude. She's got a Rarity badge- and is that Bubbles from PPG? Ohh,man."
Yerim and I whip our heads towards 'Joy' who is checking out Yerim's back pack. Yerim excitedly begins talking to Joy while I smile and nod awkwardly. I notice Irene with her arms crossed beside the tallest female. We share a smile before both turning to our best friends.
"C'mon, Joy. Seul's waiting."
Joy frowns and quickly adds Yerim on Facebook. She turns to me and smiles.
"Hey. Wendy,right?"
I nod with a kind smile,"That would be me."
"We're friends on Facebook too!, I'm gonna make us a group chat because I need all the help I can get on this 'Art Museum' project I have for journalism."
"Uh, sure thing! Talk to you later then!" I reply, while Yerim screams "bye bye!!" and Joy screams it back. They keep repeating this until Joy and Irene are out of sight.
Yerim and I walk home arm in arm and she stays at mine until her dad comes to pick her up.
I open Facebook to '1 new message'
chat with: Kang Seulgi
were you looking for me today? delivered, 6:34pm
Shit. Of course she knew. How could she not? I obviously stared at her for too long.
Not originally, but I heard someone say 'Seulgi' and I really thought it was you. read,8:55pm
I've decided on what I want from you. read,8:56pm
I smile a little bit. So it was her. It really was my Seulgi.
What is it? :) read,8:56pm
Stop looking for me. read,8:57pm
My heart feels heavy and I type quickly in fears she won't reply.
Why? read,8:57pm
I'm not worth your time. I don't deserve to get accustomed to your pretty voice or have you look at me. Don't waste your breath on someone like me. read,8:59pm
I don't understand, Seulgi. What's so bad about you? Why can't I know you? read,9:01pm
Everything,Wendy. If you're the sun, I'm the moon. Do you get it? read,9:02pm
Before I can think about her metaphor she cracks it for me.
You're the sun, Wendy. Everyone needs you, you light up their lives. I'm the moon. I shine during your darkest hours so you don't have to, so you can breathe. So you don't have to put on your best fake smile in front of me. read,9:04pm
Tears well up in my eyes and I have to take a minute to calm down because I'm too choked up to reply. Even after I've calmed down I'm unsure of what to say. I can't hug her like I can with everyone else. I can't let my face do the talking for me either.
I want to keep looking for her, but I'm scared she'll leave.
// this chapter was longer than intended and kinda deep oops. the blooming friendship between Wenri + Joyrene is based off me and some friends :^) also added my little pony bc i used to love the show and knew the theme song off by heart (still do lmao)

also I edited the picture of Wenri to show what they look like in the fic. I ended up doing Wendy's makeup a little bc I think if she was living in the us it would be like that. Also Yeri has blue eyes bc I edited them for the lolz and forgot to un-do them so they're just gonna stay lol rip @ the quality tho \\
