A few knocks sounded at her front door, causing the girl to smile at the familiar pattern. Hoisting herself up from her couch, she walked over to her front door and opened it, almost immediately being pulled into a hug.

"Eun! I missed you!" Hyein cried out, as Eunhee let out a small laugh.

"I missed you too, Hyein.. anyways, come in!" The girl pulled away from the hug, stepping aside to let the five girls flood into her apartment.

As Eunhee walked further into her apartment, the five were girls still near the front door as they were taking their shoes off. Minji suddenly called out, "woah, Eunhee! Since when did you get a new coat? It looks so nice!"

The girl furrowed her brows in confusion, before it suddenly clicked in her head. She had hung up Jungwon's coat on her small coat rack at the entrance of her apartment, and of course, they had to notice it.

"Oh, I didn't. Jungwon let me borrow it today since I left mine at home." She retorted, watching as her friends soon enough made their way into her living room, making themselves comfortable.

They all had been over multiple times, so they were past the awkward first time over at someone else's house stage.

"Woah, he let you borrow his coat? That's so cute..!" Danielle sighed out, a pout on her lips as she placed a hand to her heart.

"Ahh, young love.." Hanni muttered, flopping down on the couch beside Haerin.

"Hanni, you're literally younger than me.."

"And? What does that have to do with anything?" Hanni raised her brows, sending the slightly older girl a playful glare.

"Wait, so if he let you use his coat, what did he use? Did he have like, a jacket or something?" Haerin questioned, tilting her head in curiosity.

"He had a sweatshirt on, that's it.. at first, I said no to taking his coat but he insisted, and then let me keep it and told me I could return it next time we see each other if I wanted." Eunhee explained.

"If you wanted?" Hyein smirked, giggling slightly as she hugged a random throw pillow tightly to her chest.

"No because, that's literally so romantic.. why can't I experience something like that." Minji groaned, pressing her lips together.

Eunhee rolled her eyes and chuckled at her friend's behavior, "I really don't think it's that romantic.. he was just being nice. And also, you act as if you don't get asked out by someone everyday at school."

"Okay, but they're just asking me out for my looks. I don't want that, I want someone who genuinely likes me for me, not just if I look pretty." Minji mumbled, as Danielle nodded in agreement.

"You'll find someone, just give it time." Danielle smiled, giving the older girl a thumbs up.

"Alright, enough boy talk, can we watch a Christmas movie?" Hyein called out, catching the attention of her five friends.

"Yeah, but shouldn't we order something to eat first?" Haerin suggested, as Eunhee nodded.

"Ooo, I could go for some fried chicken.. oh, also steak! And tteokbokki.. and-- you know what, I don't really care what we get, I'm just hungry and want food." Hanni cut herself off,. earning a laugh from her friends.

"I'll pay for food!" Minji spoke, pulling her phone out as she opened door dash.

"No, no.. you all are technically my guests, so I'll pay." Eunhee intervened, earning a snicker from Minji.

"I don't care. You're literally letting out stay at your place, the least I can do is pay for dinner." Minji rolled her eyes, gently pushing away the girl who was currently trying to grab her phone in order to prevent her from buying food.

Eunhee groaned, puffing up her cheeks.

Hyein, who was now next to Eunhee as the older girl had moved, patted the girl's shoulder in a comforting manner. "Don't stress about it, Eun. You pay for everything like, everytime. Let someone else do it this time." The youngest comforted the girl.

"Can we watch Christmas with the Kranks? I loved that movie when I was younger." Danielle questioned, eyes filled with hope as looked at all of her friends.

"I'm fine with that. I don't think I've ever seen that, anyways." Haerin shrugged, pulling her knees to her chest.

"Okay, but like... You've gotta admit, my outfit was drippy even back in the day." Minji pointed out, zooming in on her outfit. Currently, out of boredom, she had started going through her gallery, finding photos from her childhood aging back to the early 2000s.

"Oh my god, bro look at the shoes..!" Hanni gasped, a giggle escaping her lips as she pointed towards the very nostalgic looking sneaks on a seven year old Minji.

"I swear, the shoes back then all had the same design." Eunhee laughed, clasping a hand over her mouth.

"For real.. I'm pretty sure I owned a pair of shoes just like that. My mom probably still has them stored away or something." Danielle spoke, leaning her head on Minji's shoulder.

A soft buzz caught Eunhee's attention, as she pulled her phone out from her pajama pants pocket and unlocked it.

"Who is it?" Haerin asked from beside the girl, head perking up in interest as she noticed a growing smile on Eunhee's lips.

"Hm? Oh, it's Jungwon." She replied, clicking on the notification and watching as it led her to her messages app.

"Ayy, you're all smiley because he texted you..!" Hyein teased, a cheeky smile spread across her face.

"No I'm not!" Eunhee denied, shaking her head side to side.

"Eun, you totally are." Minji smiled before adding on, "anyways, what did he say? Let me see."

"Did he just send you a heart!?" Hanni gasped, eyes widened in surprise as a smile settled on her face.

*Oh my god, I can't believe it.. Eun, you've finally found the one!" Minji exclaimed, squealing in excitement.

"Guys, it didn't mean anything! Calm down!" Eunhee quickly spoke, pressing her lips together in a thin line as she watched her friends freak out in front of her.

"You say that, yet you're a blushing mess." Danielle pointed out, earning a groan from the girl who stuffed her face in a pillow out of embarrassment.
