Y/n's p.o.v
Tick tock, tick tock, tick tock. That's all I hear as I lay down on my bed and stare at the ceiling. I ready didn't know what to do today, so I thought I could just be a potato and do nothing, but you see how that ended up. I sit up and look at my clock on my phone. It's already lunch time. I thought for a second before getting up. (I could call the girls and see if they want to hang out!) I then went straight to our group message called "Artzy Popzy", and started texting.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Me:
Hey everybody!
I have nothing to do today, so I was wondering if you guys wanted to go out to eat with me for lunch.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It took a while for one of them to respond back.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Bae:
Hey y/n!
I would love to hang out!
I have be working on an art project, and now I need a break.😫
Chin-sun:
👋🏻
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Chin-sun would always answer in emojis if there was an emoji that showed what we were talking about.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Chin-sun:
Sure, I would love to come out to eat.
My 🐱 is being a pain in my butt, so I'm going to try and escape the dungeon. 😆
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I laugh when I see her message. She always talks about her crazy cat. I remember the time she told me that the cat knocked over her bowl of cheez-it's and chin-sun went nuts.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Areum:
I guess I'll come.
There's nothing for me to really do, and besides, my brother is annoying anyway.
Chin-sun:
😳
How dare you call your 🧑🏻 annoying!!!
He's a really nice 👨🏻!
Areum:
You say your cat gets on your last nerves...
Do you call your cat annoying???
Chin-sun:
....
Ok....
Maybe I do...
Areum:
See what I mean.
Not everything is cupcakes and rainbows sunshine.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We have nicknames for each other. Bae's is bae bae or baby. Areum's is diva dil. Chin-sun is sunshine. And last but not least, mine was y/nickname.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Me:
Kk
I'll see you guys in a little while at our spot!
Bae:
Kk!
Chin-sun:
😊👍
Areum:
K what ever.

I put my phone on the nightstand next to my bed and head into my bathroom to take a shower. I stayed in the shower for a few minutes, then I dried myself off and put on a light blue crop top with jean shorts that are short, but not too short. I then did my hair into a high ponytail and left the bathroom. I'm not really a person that puts makeup on. I only do it if I'm going somewhere important or popular.
I texted everyone to let them know I was on my way and got into my car. We all like to meet up at a small café in our home town Seoul, South Korea. We have been here for ages it feels like. We know everything here, what to do, and even all the Kpop group that work here. I would usually pass BigHit studio on my way to the café or to our art studio we go to. We all love to do art and listen to music. Nothing gets me through the day better than that.
I pull into the parking lot of the café and get out my car and lock it. When I walked in, I saw that Bae was already here at our normal spot. I can tell you that we have been here so many times that the waiters know what to get us. Especially by our moods. When I'm in a happy mood, our favorite waiter gets me a Carmel frappe, but on my sad/bad days, they get me a mocha with whip cream and hint of their love.
"Hey y/n!" Bae yells as I walk to the table. "Hey Bae. How is your art project going?" She playfully rolled her eyes. "Still in progress," She says with a big sigh, "but it's getting somewhere." I smile at her. "How far have you gotten into it?" "I only have a little left, which will take me only 5 minutes, and I'll be done."
As we continue to talk, our waiter gives us our drinks. "Are the others coming?" The waiter says. "Yeah, they should be on there way. In fact, here is one now."
I point to the door to see Areum at the door. The waiter went straight to getting her drink. "Hey diva dil!" Bae says to Areum, making Areum roll her eyes. "What have I told you about calling me that in public?" Bae puts on a smile that lights up the room. "I don't know. I forgot." Areum rolls her eyes again and sits next to me.
"How are you Areum? Everything going ok?" I ask her. "It's ok you can say. My mom and dad are still unhappy people. Don't know how I could get it through their skulls that I'm not going to college. I have no reason for having to go. It's my choice!"
She puts her hand under her chin and sighs. I rub my hand on her back to soothe her anger. "It's ok, I get how you feel. Living with my parents was a nightmare for me, that was until I moved into my own home." Areum looks at me. "Can I live with you!?" I laugh and pat her head. "You would have to help me pay rent." She still looks at me with her puppy eyes that get me all the time. "I'll do anything, I just want to get out of that hell hole." Me and Bae laugh really loud. Areum's drinks some of her drink before laughing along.
20 minutes later, we were all talking and were drinking our drinks, when Areum got a call. She sighs and looks at us. "Sorry guys, but it's my mom. She says that we have to talk about why I'm not going to college." "They still haven't let go yet?!" Chin-sun says. "Yeah, that's a pain isn't it?" We all nod our heads. "Well I'm off. Bye you guys!" We all wave good bye and she leaves.
"I feel bad for her," chin-sun says, "she deserves to have a fun life and not have to go through this." She puts her head on the table and pouts. Bae looks at her and pats her head. "She'll be fine. It's Areum we're talking about here. She could beat a popular girl in a gossip battle. She's got this!" I nod my head, agreeing with Bae. "And besides, she won't have to go through that for long." Chin-sun looks at me confused. "Areum will be living with y/n for a while, before she finds a place." Bae tells Chin-sun, causing her to "awww" at me and make me blush. "That was sweet of you." I put on my sweet smile. "I never asked you about you and your dad, how are things going between you two?" I look down at the floor. "Still bad?" Chin-sun asks. I nod my head slowly.
Me and my dad don't get alone good after what happened with my mom. She and him got into a big fight when I was 14, and I couldn't stand the fact that after one fight ended, another one started. My mom then disappeared out of the random and left me. When I was 15, I saw that she was killed by my own father. He was sentenced 4 years in jail, but I still to this day think that he should still be in jail.
After I picked him up from the jail house, he would always get mad at me and get drunk. He would treat me like I was trash and hurt me. He would force me to do drugs, but when I refused, he would whip me. I would always fake-taking the medicine just to make him happy and leave me alone. After I moved into my own house, I haven't seen him, but only called him, just to make sure he was ok. "I just want to help him. He needs some help with his issues. If I don't get him help, he's going to hurt someone."
They look down and frown. Then Bae says something. "How about we go to the art studio and do some painting!? That will clear the air, right?" We both look at Bae with excitement and leave the café.
When I get to the studio, the girls were already inside the studio. I put my stuff down near my little desk that they gave me and the girls, and went over to my canvas. Me and the girls work at the studio, and we earn a lot from our art work, that's how I got my house. My art called "the lonely girl" made me $200 dollars in only 3 days. "Hello Mrs.Chin." The owner said to me. "Hello there." I sat down one my stool and started to paint.
After a few hours, I finished working on my painting, and so was the girls.
"Well done ladies," the owner says. "I gotta say, I'm impressed. I hope these pieces can go out to the gallery and you guys can get some money off of them." We all smile at her and nod. "Ms.Park, how is your project you've told me about?" Me and chi-sun laugh as Bae rolls her eyes. "That piece of art is a monster." The owner laughs. Well, we'll see you later Mrs.Chung!" Chin-sun says. We wave to Mrs.Chung and left the studio.
We all went our separate ways, which means I headed back to my house.
When I got back to my house, I went straight onto Zepeto and started to do some pics with me and the girls. Every time we left from being with each other, we would all get on Zepeto when we got home and started to do pictures on Zepeto. I was minding my own business, when all of a sudden I got a message on my Zepeto app. "Kim Namjoon added you on Zepeto" was what it said in my message box, which then caused me to drop my phone once I saw the message. How could he add my Zepeto!?!?
