Inner Child
"Don't tell me you're the one going to play this makeup table set."
Hyeri chuckled, admiring the toy in front of her as Sooyoung gave her a strange look whilst crossing her arms with her one eyebrow quirked up.
Gowon entered the room and stood beside the older girl, "Who's this for, Hyeri?"
"It's for my niece," the panda explained, her face lit up with a smile. "I just thought it would be nice to give her a gift because it's been a long time since I last saw her."
The crunchy-voiced girl gasped in surprise, "Your brother has a daughter already? I remember you once said that they just got engaged..."
"Nope! It's the daughter of one of my cousins. I'd like to have a niece or nephew from my brother, but they're taking things nice and slow."
"Aww, I wish I had an aunt like you," Gowon says.
"In other words, Gowon wants a RICH aunt like you," Sooyoung deadpanned, receiving a teasing look and a light smack on the shoulder from the short girl.
Gowon shook her head no and crossed her arms to refute Sooyoung's claim. "It's all lies, this eonni over here should never be tolerated."
Sooyoung returned the stare before shrugging her shoulders. "Anyway," she deadpanned, "You seem to have a good relationship with your niece to the point where you're giving her gifts for no good reason."
Hyeri sat up straight, her attention now focused on Sooyoung and Gowon. "Actually, I used to babysit her last year when she was still a six-month-old baby," she said.
Before continuing, she smiled "Remember how I'd go out of sight in the dorm and then reappear? I'd go over to their place and look after Hayeonnie. I miss her very much, and I'm sad I won't be able to visit her right now."
"So, Hayeon is her name. She must be so cute that you'd give up your profession as an idol for her," Sooyoung's words elicited a wide grin from the panda. "Surprisingly, she got my large puffy cheeks from when I was a baby!"
"Well, aren't you still a baby?"
Gowon once again gasped, "Don't even say another word or else Jinsoul eonni would suddenly come knocking you down the floor," she warned, giving the older girl a side hug.
Sooyoung snickered, raising an eyebrow once more. Why should she be worried about what Jinsoul intends to do? She has her own set of rules to follow.
"What about that betta, huh? I could simply summon Olivia."
"You can't be serious, you're placing two cockfighting birds in the same cockpit. It would be a literal war we never wanted to happen," the younger girl playfully rolled her eyes at Sooyoung.
Meanwhile, Hyeri looks at the two with her head tilted in bewilderment and her brows arched up.
"I don't understand what you two are talking about"
For a second they forgot Hyeri was there, listening to everything they had to say about Hyejoo and Jinsoul's war. The panda, you see, still has no idea that the two girls were once fighting over her.
Gowon and Sooyoung both restrained a laugh, relieved but also can't believe that Hyeri was still so dense when everything and everyone was screaming the truth.
"Anyway, I'm repacking this and wait for my brother to come pick it up. I'm still disappointed that I won't be able to give this gift to Hayeon in person, but I hope she enjoys it!" Hyeri exclaimed as she stood up from the floor, placing her hands on her hips.
Gowon grinned like a proud mother, "She'll love it. I'm sure she will."
"Oh nevermind, while I wait for my brother, I'll play with this with Yeojinnie for a while instead. I can't stop myself from playing it since it seems so appealing." The two were taken aback as Hyeri skipped out of the room to go look for her playmate.
Despite their facepalms, the two older girls exited the room as well.
