Ara walked around the busy street of Gangnam, searching for Christmas presents. She passed by a small park and found someone familiar. She stopped and looked at the person feets away from her; back facing her. She titled her head and trying to turn her brain to remember. The person looked side; causing Ara to take a look at the side profile. Her eyes widen and a grin appeared.“MINJI-AH!!!!!”, Ara shouted and threw her arms around the girl’s figure in front of her from the back.The girl said jumped in shock and looked at her back and found the grinnng Ara. Her eyes rounded and hurriedly turning around, hugging Ara. “Ara-ah!!”, she giggled and pulled away.“Yah! Why didn’t you call me if you are back?”, Ara scolded her and hit Minji’s arm playfuly.“I wanted to go to your house later and give you surprise. But, I think I won’t be able to do that”, Minji pulled Ara toward a bench and pulled her down sat beside her.“You would. Surprising Luhan”, Ara winked at her and laughed. “When you arrived? I could pick you up, you know”.“I don’t want to cause any trouble between you and Luhan oppa anymore, Ara-ah”, she flicked Ara’s forehead and earning a pout from the girl in front of her. “Yesterday. I know you could pick me up, but I don’t want you to”, she stuck her tongue out at Ara.“YAH!”, they both laughed and catch each other’s life since the went separated.“How’s you and Baekhyun oppa?”, Ara suddenly asked; made the silence air between them. “Sorry”, Ara mumbled and mentaly cursed herself for asking such a weird question.Minji smiled and shook her head. “We never contacted each others. I went away and changed my number, and he didn’t know anything”, Minji looked up at the cloudy sky and sighed, causing a fogs appeared from her mouth. “I think it’s for the better”.“Minji-ah, I’m sorry”, Ara looked down; feeling guilty. If she didn’t come to their life, maybe everything wouldn’t turned out this way. Maybe, Minji would be happy with Baekhyun. And her, she wouldn’t married the man she loves right now.“Why are you sorry? It’s fate, Ara. Maybe, we aren’t meant to be together, and I’m alright with that. We need to move on”, Minji nudged Ara’s shoulder and grinned.Ara smiled and nodded. “You are right”.Another silence took the air. But now, it was the comfortable one. The enjoyed their friend beside each others. Both of them smiled, watching the people walked back and forth in front of them. Ara glanced at her side; watching Minji smiled at the kids running around the park; catching their friends with laugh.“Look at that kids! They looks so innocent. I want to go back to my chilhood and fixed everything that I did wrong, including us. I wonder what’s on their mind. Maybe nothing except playing”, Minji looked ahead and smiled, somtimes she would giggled at the kids’ cuteness.Ara followed her gaze and soon, smiled to herself. She nodded and humming an agreement. “They must be really happy”.Minji looked at Ara in awe. “Yah, are you going to have a baby soon?”, she smiled playfuly and looked at Ara’s tummy. “Is any baby there?”“W-What? Y-Yah!!”, Ara stuttered and slapped Minji’s arm. Her cheeks redden.“Why?”, Minji whined. “You two are married and it’s almost a year. So, why not?”“I-I-“, Ara stopped mid sentence and thinking. Maybe, Minji’s right. She wondered if Luhan ever thought about having a baby with them, brightening their house with their cries.Minji raised her eyebrows at Ara. “You- what?”“Ah, nothing. Forget it!”, again, Ara fell deep in her thought before Minji waved her hands in front of her.“Why are you dazed out?”, Minji asked.Ara shook her head. “When will you go back?”, she channged the topic.Minji looked at Ara, knew that she was trying to change the subject. “The day after Christmas. I’m here just to spent my Christmas with you, since I think it will be better to spent Christmas with you. I’ve done wrong to you in the past”.“I know it would be about me”, Ara joked and they both laughed. “Hey, want to come to my house tomorrow?”Minji thought for a while. “With the boys?”Ara shrugged her shoulder. “I don’t know. Luhan didn’t tell me if they would have any schedules or not tomorrow. So, it would be better if I have someone with me if they have, and if they didn’t, we can partying all night together”.“That’s why you two needs a baby or even babies”, Minji placed her index finger on her chin, acted like she was thinking about something.Ara facepalmed herself and whined. “Don’t talk about it!” = Luhan and Ara cuddled on the couch, watching the TV.
