Sisters before misters

┏━━━━━━༻♔༺━━━━━━┓

The girls laughed as soon as they were splashed with water while I let out a cry for help. I wanted to throw Temperance into the water for recommending water park as one of the stops for our outing. They were having fun but I wasn't. I missed my swing on the clouds.

"Anhye!"

Chastity shot me with water gun and I yelled louder, glaring at her. She cackled and ran away from me while I searched for my water gun and dashed after her. She kept laughing as we fought with each other, shooting water endlessly and getting absolutely drenched. The others joined as well and shot whoever was closer. It was a mess. Well, good thing that we were wearing waterproof swimsuits.

"Girls, time out!" Chastity screamed when Kindness sprayed water all over her face. "Stop! Stop!"

Temperance bolted at her and jumped into the water with her, making us all laugh. It was such a comical view that I couldn't help but laugh.

"Somehow I'm getting tired," Charity sighed, stretching. "Can we go eat already?"

"Agreed," I said, throwing the water gun away, and Kindness echoed before walking over to the other two in the water to help them out.

After drying off and changing clothes, the five of us teleported to an alley and walked through the bustling street to find a restaurant. Some people were blatantly staring at us and I scanned our outfits. Simple jeans, blouses and skirts. Then, I looked up and realized it was because of our hair colors. Except brown which was Chastity's hair color, there were blue, orange, white, and mine, pastel pink. Well...

"Here! There's a buffet," Charity exclaimed, excitedly pointing at a place with the sign 'Eden buffet'. "I heard there's different types of meat dishes here. I want to try kebab."

We followed Charity as she skipped to the restaurant and walked into the brick building, and a mix of lively chatters and warm atmosphere engulfed us. The girls cheered at the various mouthwatering dishes, attracting attention from the other customers there, and I collected my food a few feet away from the four, acting like I wasn't acquainted with them. Still, we sat at the same table and started eating before engaging in conversations.

"I was so hyped about tasting good food but why can I barely taste anything," Charity complained with a deep sigh.

"Exactly," Kindness said, crying out in disappointment. "I tried adding spice but it doesn't work, like the fuck?"

"Language, please," Chastity chastised her but the orange haired girl shrugged. "You're always cursing. Don't you get into any trouble for that?"

Kindness shrugged again with a sheepish smile. "Still safe for now."

"Diligence will come to bite you soon," Temperance laughed. "Man's not gonna let any of us live."

"Humility and him are strict with us even if we're all the same Heavenly Virtues," Chastity said, rolling her eyes. "We should stick together to withstand their jabs. Sisters before misters."

"Speaking of misters," Temperance drawled, looking at each one of us with a sly smile, "we're all around the same age, right? Who was in a relationship when they were alive?"

"Seoyun was in a relationship," the others said at once, looking at the orange haired girl who stared at the table in silence. It was quite tragic, her story. I wouldn't be able to witness someone I loved going to hell and becoming my enemy forever. The less people I would get involved with, the better it was.

"I was never in a relationship," I said, trying to take away their attention from her. All of them looked at me with wide eyes and gaping mouth.

"Wow. And you were, what, nearly thirty?" Chastity rubbed salt on my wound, making me suck in my cheeks.

"I was twenty eight, fyi, miss," I sassed her, flipping my hair. "What about you yourself?"

"I was engaged and nearly married," Chastity said and I could see sparkles in the girls' eyes. "But my fiancé had someone he loved. His mistress. I never knew about that and I felt so stupid when I got to know about it after dying at his hands."

"W-Wait... dying at his hands?" I gaped at her in shock. "So the person who murdered you was your fiancé?"

She nodded with a smile and the girls looked as shocked as I was. I froze trying to comprehend what I just heard. How could someone who loved you do something so horrible? It was too cruel and mad.

"But it's already done and passed and I'm here, so I'm forgetting that," she said, making me even more shocked.

"Oh no no no, that piece of shit has to be punished for that." Kindness was aggravated, clenching her jaw and balling her fists on the table. "That bitch must be in hell then. Is he dead yet?"

"Lust is taking care of him," Chastity chimed, taking a sip from her green tea with such delight. "I'm sure she's doing a great job. From what I could see, she can be very ruthless with sinners like him."

All of us stayed silent. I couldn't find anything to say in response to that. As long as she was fine, my words were unnecessary anyway. Temperance simply nodded.

"I was betrothed as well," she confessed to fill in the silence. "Arranged marriage. It was for our kingdom. Just saying."

We all knew about it already. She was in Heaven for the longest time out of the five of us, waiting for us to come while the former Heavenly Virtues were still existing.

"Where is he now by the way?" Charity asked, now diving into her desserts, scooping her bowl of ice cream. "He must be reborn already, right? Unless... he was sent to the other place...?"

The blue haired girl giggled. "It's a secret."

"What the heck?" Kindness gave her the stink eye, nudging her sides as she was sitting beside her. "You ask others about their relationships but hide yours? The heck? Right, Anhye?" She turned to me, making me choke.

"Uh- I-I guess? I don't really care though."

Kindness pouted at me for not backing her up and it made me chuckle.

"Who cares about dating? Single life is the best. We're all single now anyways," the white haired doll looking Virtue beside me cheered, bringing up her glass of juice for a toast. "Let's never stop doing hangouts like this! Girl power!"

"You don't make any sense," Kindness laughed, making her blush, but brought up her glass as well. "But I agree!"

"Sae for president!" Temperance clinked her glass of coke as well.

"The fuck? What president-"

"Sae for president," Chastity agreed, raising her glass of wine.

I chuckled and clinked my glass of coke against theirs as well. "Sae for prez! Raise our salary and cut our taxes!"

Charity jumped up in glee and we all yelled out our cheers with broad smiles. Laughter erupted between us when someone else from the restaurant also yelled about making Charity the president.

"As your new president, I urge you all to go to karaoke with me!"
