what you said to them...

how you made them feel.

It was the best timing to boost Louise's mood in seconds and drag her out of a depressive mood.

"AYYY where's ma favorite girl at?"

It was Rachel on the phone!

A wide smile formed over her lips hearing the beautiful voice of her best friend.
"Holy girl, I missed you so much!!!! Where are you right now?"

"I came back from the Dior fashion show, so I'm back in town... Do you have some time, I gotta decorate the hours with your presence" Rachel suggested.

"Is that even a question? I always got time for you! Always!" She cried happily while jumping into the car.

"Ok, ok, I see, you missed me pretty much... Umm how about we meet up in that one new German bakery! I'm super hungry and want to stuff my mouth full of new, sweet, delicious dough creations~! You just can't imagine how much I've been starving!"

"Sure, just wait for me" Louise replied and the driver started the engine.

"Yeah let's meet up in two hours or something..."

"Ya make sure that I won't need to wait for ya!" Louise pointed out

Rachel laughed heartedly
"Pff... Not when I'm hungry!"

|•~{[]}~•|

As the main character opened the front door of her house she was attacked with a bright warm hug and kisses.

Louise was overwhelmed with feelings "I couldn't get a better surprise, honestly!" She smiled and chuckled while her eyes were filling up with small tears.

Rachel made some space between them "Hey, that's what best friends are there for!"

"You're honestly the best medicine for me at the moment..."

Rachel wiped the tears out of her dearest friends face with both of her hands carefully.
She looked at her now more seriously and was confused by Louise's sudden flow of tears.

"Did something happen?" She cupped the face of the sulking girl and even more tears started to gush out of that small face.

Rachel once more hugged her and patted her back, giving the girl a warm feeling of understanding.
"Oh, baby, it's ok... Just let it out" A soft comforting voice left Rachel's mouth.

Louise slowly broke the hug and made some space between them. She invited Rachel into the living room.

"What would you like to drink? We have some lemonade and other soft drinks..." The host looked back from her shoulder suggesting the variety of  beverage.

"Coke would do if you got some"

Louise came back with two cold Coke cans and a big bowl of Ben and Jerry's Peanut Butter Cup ice cream.

The sound of opening a can of a soft drink rang through their ears.

"No matter how she feels, she will still care for others, pushing her own feelings aside...

That's so about you, Lou..."

The sulking lady with a little bit puffy eyes wiped the remaining tears with her fingertips off and put the cold can against her soft cheek.

Rachel couldn't sit still as too many thoughts were bothering her concerning the unusual behavior of her bestie.
"Now tell me, what happened? Whom can I punch in the face?" She asked while adding a big spoon of ice cream into her mouth and regretting what she did right away.

"Pfff- HAHAH!" Louise couldn't hold back her laughter after seeing Rachel's hilarious face.

She was still holding onto her tummy giggling.
"No matter how bad my mood can be... You never fail to make me burst out in laughter!"

"Well, that's ma pleasure sweetie~"
She made a satisfied gesture with her long slim arms.

"The thing is..." Louise started slowly while holding unto her can and staring at it.
"You won't believe me, but... ... I just met Jay..."

"WHAT-... You don't say-!"
The model screamed, her eyes rose in astonishment and disbelief. She stopped in her actions holding her spoon up.
"I mean... How...?"

"We met at a bar randomly... As if the heavens had to collide the meeting between us... I don't know what to say, Rachel... Anyway.." The girl explained her story.

Rachel was still not satisfied with the explanation her friend just gave her.
"Ok... But... Did that jerko do something to you? Did he attack you? Be honest with me, Lou!" She added nearly in a threatening tone pointing with the spoon at her.

Louise's friend cut a piece of her ice cream and put a spoon in Louise's mouth, feeding her, before the girl could go on with further details.

"No," she started mumbling.

"I just told him that I love somebody else..."

"Wait... That's it? That's everything, nothing happened?"

"Yeah..."

"Thank God and the Holy Spirit! Jesus Christ! You don't know how worried you got me there!"  Rachel preached exhaustedly and held the sides of her forehead with her palms on each side.

"But damn girl... FINALLY you punched him right in the face! Hell yeah! HA! He deserves it!"
She jumped and made a punch movement in the air.

"He isn't even worth one tiny tear of yours, believe me, darling..."
The girl plopped back onto the couch and shoved another spoon of the delicious ice cream into her mouth.

"So..." She gave Louise an mischievous look and nudged with her arm against Louise's shoulder.

The earlier sulking lady was sitting there dumbfounded, resting her face on her right palm.
"What's the matter?" She turned her face to the left looking at Rachel who was pleading for more further information.

"Who is that special Mr you told him about...?"

"Nobody-"

"Ay! Come on girl!" She punched her shoulder.
"You can't hide things from me! You know that I can sense that something's going on!"

"Umm.. Well... it's quite complicated..." An uncomfortable look was seen on that girl's face.

"Get to the real thing, FINALLY!"
Rachel gave her an unamused 'are you kidding me' look.

Louise then looked at her with a stern expression in her eyes.
"His name is Kim Taehyung..."

Rachel was shocked at first but then broke out in laughter.
"Hahaha! Please stop! You must be kidding me! Julying to me it's still June!" She wiped a tear out of her eyes.

"Rache... You're making me feel uncomfortable... I'm being hella serious right now..."

"Oh- I'm... I'm sorry..." she chuckled "I mean: isn't he about to marry Jung Taeri? There's no chance he would betray her! Hell he had a crush on that woman since high school and it's an arranged marriage!

Wait a sec..." Rachel became finally serious to the core, narrowing her eyes and looking into space.
"That means that you were the one involved into that paparazzi crap?"

The young lady sighed dropping her head.
"Rachel... Yes..."

"Girl... You know what?"

"Huh?" She looked up from her gloomy and embarrassing condition.

Rachel leaned back and gave Louise a satisfied look, saying her sentence deliciously:
"You got some good jackpot~"

"What do you mean?"

"The rumors will arrive earlier than you can imagine."

"What rumors...?"

"That she is cheating on him and just needs the power of his family name to become even more wealthy, believe me lots of people say that she is craving for money and wealth... Rumor has it she is a workaholic and well a... Lust addict..."

Louise slapped her friends arm with her hand.
"How can you assume somebody to be one, if you don't even know her?"

The young lady hated it if people started to assume some things just because of some stupid rumors. That's why before she would judge over somebody she needed to get to know a person first and build her own opinion about that human being.

"Louise, everybody knows that! And everybody has been talking shit behind her back. Why do you even feel responsible for her? If you just knew how much trash she has been talking about others throughout her whole career. Hell! She was always the one making up rumors and backstabbing her friends... I don't even understand why that Taehyung has been clinging onto her? Honestly he deserves better!

_______

But does he deserve Louise?

_______

By the way I think you two would make a great couple to be honest...
You gotta save him from that wench, girl...

Gosh this whole thing got me again so furious... If you just knew how often she betrayed him for some cheap guy... Holy shit... " She put her hands on top of her head.

_______

But still...
He was the one enduring it...
