Eunchae
To say I was surprised by his sudden apology would be an understatement. Seeing how worried and concerned he was when I struggled to breath really caught me off guard. I know that he wasn’t very pleased with my sudden appearance in their chilling area and that I spent time with his friends and I really thought that I annoyed his guts but his actions showed otherwise. He wouldn’t behave like that if he really hated me, right?
“What’s up with you? You’ve been zoning out for the whole time!”, Chaewon mustered me.
“Nothing, I just had an interesting day”, I smiled at her, not really keen on telling her that I had breathing struggles again due to running around school, as I knew that she would scold me for it.
“If you say so”, she shrugged before looking at her phone.
We were currently on our way to my home as Chaewon planned to sleep at mine again, both of us sad that we couldn’t spend much time together due to her shooting.
Unbuckling my seatbelt as we had arrived in the driveway of the Lee mansion, Chaewon opened the door for us. I quickly stepped out, my bag in the tight hold of my left hand.
Entering the big building, we were greeted with faint voices coming from the dining hall. Shortly sharing a glance with Chaewon, who looked as confused as me as my parents and brothers were usually at work at that time of the day, we still headed towards the said room. Stepping through the enormous door, a beautiful woman with siren eyes, who was sitting at the table, smiled at us. My parents, who were sitting on the opposite side of the table, turned around and greeted us.
“Oh kids, you’re back! How was your shooting Chaewon?”, my mom smiled at us.
“It was good, thank you!”, Chaewon returned the same gesture.
“Would you please go to Eunchae’s room now? We’ll send some maids to bring you food”, my dad softly said, not wanting to let their guest wait.
Both of us nodded with a smile and shortly glanced at the unknown woman, who was still sitting at the same spot, before turning around and heading towards my room.
“Roselyn Paramaanantra”, Chaewon closed the door of my bedroom.
“Bless you”, I put my bag onto my desk and plopped myself onto the soft pink colored bed, which was placed in my room.
“That’s her name”, she rolled her eyes and sat down next to me.
“Roselyn who?”, I asked again, not remembering what she had said before.
“Paramaanantra. Roselyn Paramaanantra. She’s well known here in Thailand and also in some other parts of Asia too.”
“Wait, that name’s familiar”, I furrowed my brows, trying to remember where I had heard it before.
“She’s Thyme’s mother”
My eyes widened at Chaewon’s sudden statement. What the hell was Thyme’s mother, a well known celebrity, doing in my dining room? Were they going to do some business contract or collaboration?
“I don’t like her. She’s an asshole. No wonder that Thyme behaves like that at school”, my best friend rolled her eyes again.
“You know her personally?”
“Yeah, she wanted to make a deal with my parents but they declined and she did some really shitty stuff after it and even tried to make up some rumors and ruin our reputation.”, she sighed and laid down.
“But Thyme’s not that bad”, I exclaimed, thinking about our encounter of that day.
“I love you Eunchae, I really do. But not everyone is as nice as you are”, she sat up, taking my hand in hers.
“But F4 is really not that bad, trust me!”
“Maybe you’re right. I shouldn’t judge people like that without knowing their real character. It’s just that I have a weird feeling about them and hearing those rumors wasn’t making it better”, Chaewon sighed.
“But I’ll try to give them a chance, if you like to hang out with them.”, she softly smiled at me.
“Thank you!”, I engulfed her in a hug, happy that she agreed to give them a chance.
We changed our clothes into pajamas, Chaewon taking one of mine, while waiting for the maids to bring our food, which arrived soon after. Finishing our meal, we both decided to take a quick nap and rest a bit as my parents were busy with Mrs. Paramaanantra anyway.

My eyelids started to flutter as I heard some noises coming from the hallway. Fully opening my eyes, I saw an empty spot next to me, meaning that Chaewon already stood up. Curious where she went and why those noises still hadn’t stopped, I stood up and headed towards my door, still a little sleepy from the sudden wake up.
Rubbing my eyes with one hand and opening the door with the other one, I was greeted with silence. Removing my hand from my face, I started realizing what happened. Chaewon along with all of the F4 members were standing in the hallway in front of my door and argued about something.
My cheeks started to blush, realizing that I was still in pajamas and everyone was staring at me. Looking down at my white sleeping clothes which were printed with cute brown teddy bears, and then looking up again, I started covering my face and turned around, heading back into my room. Closing the door, I still heard a few chuckles coming from behind me. Embarrassed that they saw me in my pajamas, I quickly changed into different clothes and opened my door again.
Not even wondering why Chaewon hadn’t worn her sleeping clothes anymore as we shared our clothes all the time, I let her and the other four into my room, who instantly sat down on my couch. Feeling the need to ask them why they were even here, I remembered that Mrs. Paramaanantra visited my parents, so I just closed my mouth and sat down next to them. But why were they arguing?
“We’re here because your parents and my mother are making a deal, if you wonder”, Thyme said, leaning back, a cold look being plastered on his face again, being back to his old and usual self.
A little surprised by his sudden cold behavior, as I thought he would act differently towards me after the incident in the cafeteria and the one a few minutes ago, I just nodded and looked at Chaewon, who mustered all four of them with a serious face.
“What did you discuss in the hallway?”, I asked, not being able to stop myself from doing so.
