Chapter 32


                          
"Noona, ice cream?" Chenle asked.


                          
The girl shook her head and just buried her face in her hands. Her friends looked at her with worry.


                          
The moment Mark went to his room, they immediately took Eunmi out so that she wouldn't think about it for a while. Well, they tried.


                          
"Yah, it's okay..." Yeri hugged her.


                          
"It's m-my fault... I didn't know that he l-lost his job just because I-I... I... practically ignored him... I-I... never knew..." She sobbed.


                          
Winwin handed her a bottle of water which she gladly took. "Th-thanks, oppa..." She tried to smile.


                          
"What happened back there?" Taeyong asked, sitting in front of Eunmi.


                          
They were at an ice cream parlor, but this time, it wasn't the one that was inside their school premises. 


                          
"I left you guys for a while to talk about things and I came back with you two crying..." Taeyong sighed and looked at the girl who was currently looking down. "I'm sorry if he's being an ass, Eunmi-yah..."


                          
She just nodded, "I... understand... it was my fault, oppa... and even if you say that it's not... it's clearly my fault..." She buried her head in her palms.


                          
"Noona, ice cream." Chenle placed a bowl of chocolate flavored ice cream in front of Eunmi. The younger smiled sheepishly, "I know you badly want your comfort food, noona... it's okay."


                          
Eunmi smiled at the younger, "Thanks, Lele." She said, taking the spoon that Chenle is handing her.


                          
She ate the ice cream quietly while looking at her phone that was on the side. It lit up when an app notification popped up and saw her wallpaper. She just sighed, not bothering to think about it anymore.


                          
"Yah." Seulgi called her and sat on her left.


                          
She looked at the girl and tilted her head on the side, "Why, unnie?" She asked.


                          
Seulgi sighed, "I can't believe I'm saying but... you're the most suitable for Mark..."


                          
Wendy laughed and quoted the words "most suitable" in the air. Seulgi just glared at her.


                          
"As I was saying, you two..." She sighed. "You've been through a lot... and I suggest that for now... just breathe... and let loose..." She smiled at the girl who was busy eating ice cream.


                          
"Thank you, unnie." She hugged the older and sobbed.


                          
"Hey, don't cry... don't think about him now... just... relax and try to forget about it even just for a little while." Seulgi rubbed the younger's back.


                          
She pulled away from the hug and nodded while wiping here tears away.

"Karaoke? Seriously, Haechan?" Eunmi asked while laughing.


                          
They were at the arcade, and they were standing outside the karaoke. Luckily, it was big enough to fit all of them.


                          
Haechan just laughed and opened the door. "I know you want to express yourself through songs... Mark-hyung used to do it too, but—" He covered his mouth when he realized that he's been talking too much. "I'm sorry..." He apologized.
