"Hello crazy woman, what's up?"

My face brightens when I listen to my best friend's voice through my phone.

We have been best friends since diapers. We literally share the same braincell. But unfortunately I don't spend the same time as I used to spend with her since she has moved in to another town because of college.

It was hard for us to get used to being apart from each other at first but we still get in touch everyday.

Despite our personalities being like the moon and the sun, we somehow magically stuck with each other and we are still inseparable.

How I miss her right now...

We always laugh our lungs out when we are together.

It's been a year since I last saw her, I believe.

"Well hello there stranger. I've been good. How about you, babygirl?", we both laughed at the nickname.

We always call each other the weirdest nicknames.

I don't know why but it's fun so why not?

"I've been good too, babe. But guess what I wanted to tell youuu?", I can imagine her wiggling her eyebrows right now with a smirk formed on her lips.

"Mmm I don't know. Please enlighten me, miss."

"I'm coming over for some days! Since we are having a break from my college I thought of coming there to see you and my parents. I'll be there to celebrate the local festival this year!", she screamed from her excitement.

Rip my ear.

"Heck yes baby! I wanna see you so bad bish! When are you planning to come here?", I squeaked from my excitement as well.

Maybe too loud...

"Hopefully in about five days? Maybe less? I'll text you before I leave tho so don't worry."

"Sweet! I'm looking forward to hug the shit out of you.", I joked.

"Yeah me too. Imma bug you 24/7 just so you know! I have to go now. See ya later sugarplum."

"Okay! See ya girl. Love you!"

And with that, I hung up the phone.

I'm so excited to see her again! I've missed her so much.

"Well someone's awfully happy today."

As I stepped in the kitchen I came face to face with Chan. The rest of the group is sitting either in the living room or in the kitchen table nibbling.

I look up to him and smile widely.

"Heck yes, I'm happy! My best friend's coming back for some days! I haven't seen her in so long.", I exclaimed excitedly.

"Aww I'm happy for you! When is she coming?"

"She doesn't know for sure but she said in about 5 days or so. She'll be here for the festival!"

"What festival?", Jeongin popped out of nowhere startling me.

They have to stop that at some point.

"Um there's a local festival every year where all the locals here celebrate and stuff. There's food, music and some games you can play there. It's actually pretty fun."

"Oh that sounds really fun! Can we tag along pleaseee?", Jisung entered the conversation.

I don't know...

Can they?

I mean it wouldn't hurt right?

"Sure why not? Either way I don't think anybody here knows you guys. So it won't be dangerous for you to go in public here."

"That hurt but in a good way.", Hyunjin stepped in to the kitchen.

"So we will be coming with you then. Great!", Jeongin added.

He's so cute when he gets excited

UwU

"And what are we celebrating?"

Felix stepped it the conversation as well.

"Well if I'm being honest... I don't know. It's a tradition that it's been kept for many years in our little town. That's all I know."

It's funny and sad at the same time that I don't even know the reason of my town's celebration.

But it's my fault because I never asked my Nanny for that.

"When will it be?", Changbin asked afterwards.

"Next Sunday noon. Near the lake. It's in the middle if the town if you are curious."

The all formed an 'oh' sound and nodded. I smiled and looked at the clock.

Shoot.

I'll be late for work!

Shitshitshit

"Shit. Gotta go guys. I have to work. See ya later!", I said and waved at them as I went out from the door.

They all waved back with sad smiles.

"Come back soon!"

"Take care love."

"Bye-bye!"

"Have a nice day to work Rosa"

"Bring pastries!"

I turn my head and face Jisung while laughing.

"Sure thing squirrel. Bye now."

And with that I started walking to work.

I walked through the empty streets looking around the beautiful view. The birds are chirping and the sunlights are stroking my skin while the cool breeze is giving goosebumps.

Thank God I wore a hoodie.

Again.

Well hoodies' my life so don't judge me.

It's around spring and I still wear hoodies. I just love them too much to wear anything else.

I especially love the oversized ones. That is why sometimes I wear the boys' hoodies.

Sometimes.

The other times they just offer them themselves. They know already how much I love it.

And besides

HOw cOuLd I sAy nO tO thAt OfFer hUh?

It's been already 2 weeks since they are living with me and we are basically best friends now. They now tease me ten times more but I just smack them on their head to make them stop.

Heh

They still don't know for how long they're gonna stay at my place but I have realised that they don't mind staying with me. Like, at all.

They actually really enjoying themselves here. They go to the forest almost every day for a run and on the week days like today, they cook instead of me.

It's so cute.

"Good morning miss Emily! Sorry for being late. I was... Running some errands...", I awkwardly coughed and smiled.

"It's okay dear. No worries. Goodmoring to you too. How's everything going?"

"Oh you know the usual",

thE UsUaL

"Vicky is coming back for some days and she'll be here for the festival as well!", I added excitedly and made my way to the cash desk to wear my apron.

"Oh that's great news! I haven't seen her in so long."

"I know right. I've missed her so much.", I smiled.

"So that means I'll be seeing you both at the festival next Sunday? Hopefully this year you won't be hiding behind a wall eating the muffins."

I awkwardly coughed as she gave me her piercing gaze.

"NoOo why would I ever do that..?", I smiled sweetly trying to hide my laugh.

"I don't know you tell me. I'm not the one going there only for the free food."

Ahaha...hah..

Busted.

I mean come on. Who wouldn't go there for the free food? I know it's fun and all, dancing and playing games with the locals but food is better than that. Periodt.

"Ah you know me too well. But I won't hide this year, I promise."

Either way I'll have to babysit 8 boys so there will be no time for free food this year.

Sad.

As I tied up the apron around my waist, I grabbed a small notebook and a pen and walked through the tables to take orders.

"Goodmorning sir what would you like to orde-"

"Oh Rosalynn it's you. Long time no see."

I look up from my notebook and stare at the man who was speaking.

That voice seemed awfully familiar.

My eyes widen when I finally saw the face of that person.

A person that I wouldn't necessarily want to see again.

Like never.

My ex.

How great.

Note the sarcasm.
