NOTE: took me long to update..I did not know where my supposed to be chapter 21 went >.< so I had to make a new one.
EXTRA: first part is Soojin's pov :)

"Jin?" Soojin heard Shuhua's voice call out for her, "Jinjin, we're home now." the voice continued to say and so she slowly opened her eyes.
"hi, Jin~ah." Shuhua greeted her with a smile that made her eyes grew wide, surprised because Shuhua's literally near her face.
"oh God!" she yelled as Shuhua just chuckled.
"we're now here Jinjin, you can go inside now and catch some sleep..after you eat dinner, do your assignments and write back to her that is." Shuhua told her that made her feel a bit sad. More than her, Shuhua's more curious as to who's the letter sender and it makes her think as to why as well.
"okay." she decided to say, clearing her throat while holding her bag close.
"thanks for sending me home Shu." she added and was about to open the door when Shuhua stopped her.
"by the way." Shuhua said, stopping her, "good night ahead Jinjin~ah." Shuhua continued, placing a kiss on her cheek.
did she? did she really kiss me?! Soojin's mind almost went blank but she shook her head and collected herself.
"good night." she then left after saying that, she did not even bother to look back at Shuhua before she entered her house.
"unnie, what's with your face?" her younger sister asks.
"hmm? nothing!" she says, laughing at nothing, "I'll just head to my room and be back in a while! bye!" she continued, running towards her room.
Dropping her bag on the floor and locking her room, she then went to get a pillow and there, she started shouting.
"OH MY GOD!!!!!!!!!!!! SHE KISSED ME!!!! OH MY GOD!!!! OH MY GOD!!!" she says, voice muffled by the pillow.
She rolled over her bed like a kid and then continued to yell in to the poor pillow, hugging, squeezing and punching it due to her excitement.
"good night ahead Jinjin~ah."
"good night ahead Jinjin~ah."
"good night ahead Jinjin~ah."
She smiled remembering how Shuhua said those words and she smiled even more when she remembered how Shuhua kissed her cheek.
Touching her cheek, her smile couldn't be gone from her face.
+++++
The next day.
Soojin hadn't seen Shuhua today, not outside her house, in their school entrance, or even school hallways. And because of that, Soojin has been frowning half of the day.
So as soon as Shuhua showed up inside the cafeteria during their lunch break, she immediately smiled, unknown to her, the two pairs of lovers saw her do that and they could only shake their head.
They know Soojin wouldn't do anything about her relationship with Shuhua and so they want Shuhua to do the first move, thus they started creating the fake letters.
"hello everyone!" Shuhua happily greeted as she sat beside Soojin.
"hi..what's the sudden hype?" Minnie asks, she thinks Shuhua's acting weird.
"hmm, nothing..anyways, Jinjin, can we just share lunch?" Shuhua asks as the girl looks at her.
Soojin felt herself blush when she saw how Shuhua is closer to her than usual.
"sure." she answers, deciding it's best to answer a single word than to say nothing at all.
They then all started eating. Both Soojin and Shuhua fell to a routine of feeding each other.
"why aren't you two together yet?" Soyeon decided to boldly ask.
"hmm? why would we be?" she asks.
"yes, I mean..Jinjin and I are best friends." she heard Shuhua say, in the process of feeding her.
Now, she knows she herself asked that because she's trying to hide her feelings but Shuhua? She knows Shuhua's telling the truth and it hurts her.
"okay..by the way Soo, what's your plan about her?" Soyeon asks, changing the topic.
Shuhua's ears perked up, "her? as in the letter sender?" she asks and Soyeon nodded.
"yes, she sent another letter today.." Soyeon answered.
But Tzuyu said no one was there?! wait, did she noticed Tzuyu?! is that why Tzuyu did not see who she is because she waited for Tzuyu to go away before slipping the letter in? Shuhua thinks.
"what does it say?" she decided to ask.
"well, she gave me her number and told me I can text her if I want." Soojin answered, feeding Shuhua.
"hmm..did you?" Shuhua asks, chewing her food.
"not yet." she said and Shuhua noted the word yet in Soojin's words.
Suddenly, Somi showed up.
"Soojin~ssi." Shuhua's eyes immediately turned from the calm looking ones into a deadly gaze directed towards Somi while Miyeon, Minnie, Soyeon and Yuqi shot Somi a glare as well, Soojin's facial expression is unreadable.
"yes?" they all heard Soojin asks.
"can we talk?" Somi asks, smiling.
Shuhua removed her gaze from Somi's smiling face, she hates the view, so she then went back to eating.
"sorry Somi~ssi, but Soojin is busy now..you can maybe talk next time." Soyeon was the one who said that, looking at Somi with a smile.
"oww, ahm." Somi started, a bit awkward, "sure..sorry, bye everyone!" Somi said instead.
When she's gone, Yuqi was the first to speak.
"the nerve!" she says and Shuhua curiously looked at her.
"hmm?" Shuhua asks.
Soyeon nudged her girlfriend, "I mean..it's obvious that Soojin's busy." Yuqi said, smiling at Shuhua.
Soojin shot Yuqi a look. She thinks the girls doesn't like Somi because of the lies she told about Shuhua but their reason is more than that, and the girls didn't want to tell her about it. At least not yet. They don't know how Soojin would react about it plus, it would affect their plans on making Shuhua jealous.
What they need to do is to play their roles and protect Shuhua and even Soojin at the same time.
"well, maybe she missed you Jinjin~ah." Shuhua said, hiding the fact that she herself even hates what she's saying.
"we're not even close to begin with, no reason for her to miss me Shu." and Shuhua's smile is visible upon hearing that, but Soojin didn't see it, she was busy eating.
Their conversation later on went to their upcoming vacation break, a week before New Year.
"will you go back to Thailand with Lisa?" Soyeon asks Minnie.
"yep, but I'll be home right after New Year..we have to go on that roadtrip we talked about right?" she asks and the girls nodded.
"after New Year? so at January 2nd?" Yuqi asks and Minnie nodded.
"hmm, then I'll have to be back by then as well." Yuqi says. She's going home to China for awhile after all.
"how about you Shu?" Miyeon asks Shuhua.
"January 2nd? sure..I can arrange that. We can also have our chat conversations during our break so we'll be able to discuss where to meet and what other details there is." Shuhua said as the others agreed.
"it's settled then..nobody should cancel plans, okay?" Soojin said, eyeing everyone.
Ironically, all of them answered at the same time with each other. "I won't." and then they all laughed after that. Just how much in sync can they get?
+++++
While Shuhua's busy preparing the food to feed Soojin, the latter noticed Shuhua's phone light up. The number below the name is obviously not from Korea.
El <3 calling....
"Shu, someone named El is calling." she said just before Shuhua feeds her.
While Shuhua did so, she then turned her head to check her phone.
"ow." she said after feeding Soojin, "wait Jinjin.." she then said as she picks her phone up, answering the call.
"hello?" they all heard Shuhua say as the two pairs of lovers paid attention to whoever Shuhua is talking to as well.
"you don't have to do that El." they heard Shuhua say, voice sounding relaxed.
They then noticed Shuhua nodding and smiling to herself before answering, "okay, okay..text me when you're here, I'll pick you up." Shuhua said.
Automatically, four pairs of eyes looked at Soojin's reaction about the call.
They saw how Soojin frowned, obviously thinking in wonder as to who Shuhua is talking to.
"bye~bye.." they heard and so they turned their attention back at Shuhua who sighed and rolled her eyes.
"fine, yes, bye~bye..I love you too." they almost had their mouths down the floor when they heard those words leave Shuhua's mouth.
Just who is this El?! Soojin thought as she immediately went back to eating when she saw Shuhua end the call.
"who was that?" Minnie asks curiously, all of them waiting for Shuhua's answer. Though Soojin's trying to act calm as she feed Shuhua's waiting mouth with food.
"my fiancée." Shuhua simply answered with a smile on her face.
"WHAT?!" Miyeon, Minnie, Soyeon and Yuqi yelled all at the same time, too loud that everyone in the cafeteria turned their heads to look at their table. Shuhua's laughing at them now.
Soojin, though shock, she apologized to everyone and kindly asked them to not mind their side of the table.
"your what?" it's now Soojin's turn to ask Shuhua, facing her.
"my fiancée." she repeated and unknown to her, Soojin's world came crushing down.
