Light in my Dark

CHAPTER 35

Soohee

Is it really you?

Bang Chan

Yeah. Hi.

Han Jisung

Put it on loudspeaker.

Soohee

Why?

Han Jisung

So I can hear him.

Bang Chan

*laughs* Is he still doubting me?

Soohee

I think so. What made you call?

Bang Chan

Well--

Han Jisung

Hey you didn't put it on loudspeaker yet

Soohee

Han, you don't need to worry about anything and I'm right here aren't I?

Bang Chan

I'm glad he's protective of you though.

Soohee

Yeah. Super. What were you saying again?

Bang Chan

I just wanted to check on you, and it seems like your... relationship with him is alright.

Soohee

Why? Are you expecting it to be rough or something? *laughs*

Han Jisung

Hey what do you mean rough?!

Soohee

Nothing. Shh.

Bang Chan

And umm...I wanted to thank you, for giving me chance to be your friend at least. I'm glad I can still have your back.

Soohee

I'm glad, and I'm really happy to hear you say that. Thank you.

Bang Chan

I just wanted to thank you, that's why I called, since Christmas is coming.

Soohee

Oh, you're not going back here to spend Christmas?

Bang Chan

No. My parents planned to have Christmas here.

Soohee

Oh okay...so...how are you?

Bang Chan

If you wanna ask my progress with the "moving-on" thing, don't worry about it. *laughs*

Soohee

You can't blame me from asking though, and you didn't answer the question!

Bang Chan

I'm good. I promise. I'm getting used to it.

Your POV

I can still tell that he's lying, but I'll let him off this time. And Han keeps on pouting in front of me and I can't take it anymore!

Soohee

If you say so. Thanks for calling Chan. I really hope you're doing alright.

Bang Chan

Thanks Soohee. I'll call again soon...umm..bye.

Soohee

Bye.

Han Jisung

Do you really have to be friends with him?

Soohee

What's wrong? I'm friends with your buddies and you don't seem to mind.

Han Jisung

Chan's different because he's your ex. You had a history together!

Soohee

Aww you're jealous. Don't think about it.

Han Jisung

I can't help it. But you can help me take my mind off it though.

Your POV

Han smirks and wiggles his eyebrows. I already know what he's thinking.

Soohee

Why are you so flirty?

Han Jisung

Whaaat? You are my girlfriend so I don't see what's wrong with that. *laughs*

Your POV

That day where Han and I made it official was one of my top favorite memories with him...and my best birthday yet.

08:00 AM

FLASHBACK (SOOHEE'S BIRTHDAY)

Your POV

Pancakes...how I love the smell of it...

Your POV

I slowly opened my eyes and saw Soomi holding a plate of pancakes in front of me.

Soomi

Wow it worked! Happy Birthday eonnie!

Seungmin

I told you she'll wake up.

Soohee

Aww you made these for me Soomi?

Soomi

Yeah. Minnie helped!

Your POV

I bursted out laughing because my little sister just called our brother Minnie 😆

Soohee

Nice job Minnie Mouse hahaha

Seungmin

I'll forgive you just because it's your birthday. Come down stairs, mom and dad are waiting.

Your POV

Seungmin walked over and ruffles my hair.

Seungmin

Happy birthday lil sis.

Soohee

Eww don't be sweet.

Seungmin

Trust me, I didn't want to. Mom insisted.

Soohee

Heh. Thanks anyway.

Soomi

Do you like my pancakes eonnie?

Soohee

I love them Soomi! Thank you.

Your POV

I kissed Soomi's cheek and headed down stairs with her.

Your POV

I checked my phone for a moment. Weird. No good morning message from Han. He usually sends one everyday.

Mom

There's my birthday girl~

Dad

Happy birthday Soohee!

Mom

Happy Birthday, she~

Your POV

Mom and dad both hugged me at the same time.

Soohee

Thanks mom..thanks dad.

Mom

Should we show her now?

Dad

After breakfast.

Soohee

Show me what? No surprises please.

Mom

Trust me... you'll love this surprise.

Soohee

Hmm. Okay. I'd better *laughs*

Your POV

Mom and dad looked at each other and giggled. I quickly finished breakfast because I'm already curious.

Your POV

Then I checked my phone again and there's still no message from Han. Maybe I should text him.

Soohee

To Han: Good Morning squirrel boy. Are you still sleeping?

Mom

Alright you all done?

Soohee

Hey! What's with the blindfold?!

Seungmin

Hold still dummy!

Soohee

Mom!

Mom

Hold still Soohee. Alright take her outside.

Soohee

I hate blindfolds and surprises you know!

Dad

You'll love this one don't worry!

Your POV

They pulled me outside and stopping upfront. Why am I nervous?

Mom

Okay. Hold this little box Soohee. Now I want you to open it and guess what's inside.

Soohee

Fiiine.

Your POV

I opened the box carefully and ran my fingers inside...wait is this a key?!

Soohee

No...way... don't tell me--

Soohee

Soomi

Mom

Dad

Happy Birthday and congratulations for being the top of the class!

Seungmin

Mom

Seungmin

Will I get mine on my birthday too?

Mom

Maybe...if you'll be the top of the class too. *laughs*

Soohee

This is amazing! I don't have to borrow your cars anymore!

Your POV

I hugged mom and dad, blinking back my tears of joy.

Soohee

Your POV

I was about to get in but Ryujin called..
