chiyo
weeeee never finished our
conversation miss ma'am

niko
shit i forgot

niko
something important came up

chiyo
MORE IMPORTANT THAN
TELLING YOUR DEAR SISTER
ABOUT YOUR MAGICAL EVENING
WITH A ROCK STAR?????

niko
yes

chiyo
valid

chiyo
OKAY now tell me

niko
well, we saw one of my favorite
movies in this theater near his old
dorm

chiyo
coraline?

niko
no, the nightmare before chrismas

chiyo
ah

niko
and then we walked back to his car

chiyo
kiss?

niko
held hands

chiyo
WAIT THATS A PRETTY BIG
STEP FOR YOU 👏👏👏

niko
there's more though

chiyo
oh???? 😏

niko
yuta told me that vybe's album is
releasing and showed me a physical
copy he had in his car

chiyo
hmph. vybe.

chiyo
im guessing there's an and?

niko
and my name was all over it.
IS all over it

niko
nearly every song on that damn
album was either completely or
partially written by me, and now
i have this dumb album to show it

niko
it doesn't make up for the years
of missed opportunities, but it's
something. it's a start.

chiyo
no more mark

niko
no more mark

chiyo
niko that's great!! i'm so happy
for you what the fuck

chiyo
FINALLYYYYYYY YOU
GET YOUR RECOGNITION

chiyo
too bad it happened after you
became your own rock star

chiyo
you're such a good role model
to people niko and you don't even
realize it

niko
i'm not a role model..

chiyo
you are. you're mine <33

niko
aw chi :(

chiyo
i'm sorry if i caused any tension
between you and haechan. i was
just upset that all the people around
me were starting relationships and
the one guy i liked slept with my
(ex) friend

niko
it's okay

niko
i mean, it's not okay and you
should still apologize to him,
but with me, it's okay

niko
there will always be another guy.
and who knows, maybe haechan
will come around in the future

chiyo
you're rightttttt i just feel bad

chiyo
reading back i sound like gaeul
which is just 🤮🤮🤮

niko
you could never sound like gaeul

niko
it was an off day for you i get it.
apologize when you're ready

chiyo
literally what would i do without you

niko
i don't even want to think
about that lol

niko
have i ever told you the story about
chiyo and me in high school?

yuta
i don't think so. why?

niko
idk i was just thinking about it

niko
it's probably not something you'll
have to know, but i feel like talking
about it if you feel like listening

yuta
i always feel like listening when
it comes to you and your stories

niko
thank you 😌

niko
so, as you know, our mom died
when i was in high school

niko
at the time, chi was still fifteen
and our only living relative was
our father, who wanted nothing
to do with us

niko
so when i turned eighteen, i legally
adopted and became chi's guardian

yuta
wait. at 18?

niko
crazy, right?

niko
anyway, that's why i didn't sue
mark or vybe right after your debut.
i literally could not do it after all
the money i'd spent fighting for chi,
as well as saving enough to keep up
with bills and food for her

yuta
for her?

niko
it was a really awful time

niko
i hardly ever talk about it.
in fact, i never do

niko
i don't know. i was feeling
nostalgic today

niko
anyway, it was a long time ago

yuta
nik, you can always come talk to me
about stuff on your mind. even if i
don't answer right away, i'm here

niko
i know. and i appreciate that

niko
oh hey, i wanted to ask

niko
do you want to be my plus one to
eunbin and woozi's wedding?

yuta
i actually got my own invitation..

niko
right, i forgot eunbin works at vybe

niko
what seat are you in?

yuta
8A

yuta
why, what's yours?

niko
since i'm a bridesmaid i'll be
standing the whole time

niko
BUT my after party seat is in the
front away from the bar. i can switch
your name plate if you'd like 😏

yuta
oooooo i didn't know
you had it in you 😏

niko
surprise surprise

niko
oh also

niko
sorry, i feel like i'm talking a lot

yuta
not at all 🖤🖤

niko
i have my first interview tomorrow

yuta
really? congrats nik that's huge!

niko
i'm nervous

niko
i have a team telling me what to wear
and say but i'm not sure how to act

yuta
just relax and be yourself

yuta
it's okay to be nervous. they'll
understand since it's your first,
and if they're a good interviewer,
they won't leave you hanging

niko
i hope not

niko
okay, i've got to go look for
wedding gifts with haechan,
taeyong, and ami

niko
thank you for listening to my rants

yuta
anytime. it's my pleasure 🖤

chiyo

chiyo
im sorry

haechan
for calling me a bitch orrrr

chiyo
for all of it

chiyo
i treated you like such scum for
no reason. i was upset and i took
it out on you when it wasn't your
fault. so i'm sorry

haechan

haechan
i forgive you

chiyo

haechan

impression
