Yoonchae is your best friend. You live in Seoul, South Korea, and Yoonchae has been your best friend since elementary school.

You grew up attached to the hip, practically inseparable all the time. That was, until Yoonchae moved all the way across the world to L.A to achieve her dreams as an idol.

When she told you the news, you were distraught. You were proud for her, of course, knowing how hard she’s been practicing and how much she wanted to be an idol, but you couldn’t help that fear that settled into the pit of your stomach. That voice in the back of your head telling you that you would never see her again.

Today was your 18th birthday. You had moved out of your parents’ house a few months prior, so you were stuck celebrating alone. That was, until you heard a knock on the door.

Curious and confused, you got up from your couch and went over to the front door of your apartment. You opened the door to see Yoonchae standing on the other side with a cake in her hands. The second she saw you, she smiled and started singing “Happy Birthday” in Korean.

“생일 축하합니다~…”
