Let's go shopping!
Anna Kim
Where are you guys? Bai Xue and I are already at the Shopping Center's gate.
Ma Lia
I'm getting off of the taxi.
In front of the gate.
Ma Lia, Bai Xue and Anna Kim are still waiting for Chen Ge.
Ma Lia
Where's that girl? She's always late...
Anna Kim
I bet that she'll find excuses like she had some problems with her siblings, there was a terrible traffic jam or she forgot her wallet at home and had to go back home.
Bai Xue
Or she didn't look at the time.
Anna Kim
I bet all of my money that what I said was true.
Chen Ge is rushing over, but at the worse moment, a guy passes by and pushes her. She falls down.
Anna Kim
Wow. That must've hurt.
Ma Lia
No! Just let her be.
Ma Lia
That guy over there is eye-catching. Let's see if she can be friends with him... It's perfect for her!
Ma Lia
He's helping her and bowing... maybe to apologize. She's smiling... The guy is blushing, meaning that he finds her cute. Good...
Anna Kim
The worst is to come.
Ma Lia
...She's saying goodbye and approaching... What a fool!
Chen Ge is finally with her friends.
Chen Ge
I'm sorry... I'm late.
Anna Kim
What is your excuse?
Chen Ge
The thing is that... my siblings wanted to tag along, and I had to convince them not to. Then, I didn't see the time. When I could take a taxi, there was a terrible traffic jam and I found that I forgot my wallet at home... So I had to pick it up...
And just now, a guy pushed me and I fell down...
Anna Kim
...Nobody wins then.
Ma Lia
Do you know that you are a fool?
Ma Lia
The guy that pushed you was attracted by you but you just left like that! Not to mention that he was actually handsome, yet you didn't take this opportunity...
Chen Ge
So you saw everything? And you didn't help me??
Ma Lia
If you were smart enough, you could've made a guy friend! Even just one!
Chen Ge
And why should I have a boy friend?
Ma Lia
Because you don't have any. And you two were so perfect together... You could've got a boyfriend later~
Chen Ge
I- I didn't even think of that!
Ma Lia
What a pity... You're pretty, but because you're not smart enough, you could've got a boyfriend earlier...
Chen Ge
And you two, who's side are you on?
Ma Lia
Well, forget it. Let's go inside before someone snatches the dress away!
The four girls entered the center and... actually bought almost every dress.
Chen Ge
...Why did you guys buy so many dresses? Weren't we supposed to buy only my dress?
Ma Lia
Yes! But it's no fun if we bought only one dress and then head home right away!
Anna Kim
It's been so long since we all went shopping! How long has it been?
Bai Xue
We didn't have time at all since we got boyfriends.
Ma Lia
I couldn't agree more! Since I had my boy, it's like I only got him in my mind that I always forget how nice friendship is...
The three of them laughed, but Chen Ge didn't, at least she would smile. At this right moment, she felt envious. Why? Because she was the only one who didn't have a boyfriend. She wants to experience that thing called "love", thinking about her boyfriend, spend time with him when possible, being jealous of girls who approach him and so on... But it's like God didn't want her to find her soulmate.
Anna Kim
You spaced out for a moment.
Chen Ge
Sorry... I- I just don't feel well...
Ma Lia
Do you have a headache?? Do you want to go home??
Anna Kim
Maybe we should call a doctor!
Chen Ge
No no! It's not that serious! Just... a minor headache.
Chen Ge smiled at them. She regretted being envious of her friends. They are so kind and they worry about her, even if it's just a headache. Maybe she was envious of their boyfriends? Because they had such lovely girlfriends...
Chen Ge
I think... we should hurry up! Let's go find that dress and go home!
Ma Lia
Really? If you can't take it anymore, just tell us and we will send you home!
Anna Kim
Yes, don't force yourself!
Chen Ge
Choosing home or you... I'd rather choose home!
Bai Xue
See? You actually want to go home but you just forced yourself!
Chen Ge
Who said I wanted to go to my house?
Ma Lia
But didn't you say-
Chen Ge
I said I wanted to go home. And my home... is you guys!
Anna Kim
...What a romantic person you are.
Ma Lia
It's the most touching sentence I've ever heard...
Ma Lia
If you were a guy, I'd have fallen long ago for you.
The four of them laughed like they've never done so and continued walking around the center.
