Devotion (Oh Sion)

Soojin walked through the bustling university campus with her friends, the cool autumn breeze tugging at her hair. The sun cast a golden hue over the pathways, students chattering and rushing between buildings, but the conversation in her group was far from lighthearted.

"You need to break up with Ji-ho," Natty groaned, dragging her feet dramatically as she shot Soojin a disapproving look. "I swear, if I have to hear you complain about him one more time, I might actually combust."

Soojin chuckled, shaking her head. "I will, I will. Soon."

NingNing, who had been scrolling through her phone, narrowed her eyes at Soojin. "Define 'soon.' Because your version of 'soon' is starting to sound like a lifetime subscription to his bullshit."

Xinyu raised an eyebrow. "For real. What, are you waiting for him to fully convince you that you're 'meant to be' and that he's the perfect 'boyfriend'?" Her voice dripped with sarcasm as she made air quotes.

Soojin giggled, lifting her hands in surrender. "Okay, okay. I'll break up with him in, like, two months."

The group stopped walking.

Natty, NingNing, and Xinyu turned to stare at her as if she had just declared she was moving to Mars.

"TWO MONTHS?!" they shouted in unison, making a few passing students glance their way.

Xinyu placed a hand on her hip. "Do you... schedule your breakups or something?"

Soojin laughed, covering her mouth. "No! It's not like that. I just... need to do something first before I break up with him."

Natty narrowed her eyes suspiciously. "Please tell me you're not planning a murder. Because, girl, you are way too pretty to be in jail over that piece of shit."

Soojin frowned deeply, looking genuinely offended. "Excuse me? You think I'd go to jail for him?!" She placed a hand over her heart, gasping dramatically. "Natty, I'm hurt."

Xinyu snorted, shaking her head. "At least you know what he is."

NingNing smirked. "So... what are you actually planning? Some reputation-ruining stunt? Exposing his cheating ass?"

Soojin tilted her head, thinking for a moment. "Hmm. It's... kinda similar to that. But let's just say, it'll definitely ruin some of his family relationship."

Natty let out a loud cackle, clapping her hands. "Finally, some sense is entering your brain!"

NingNing grinned. "Oh, I like where this is going."

Xinyu smirked. "This is the kind of character development I love to see."

Soojin beamed. "Thank you, thank you. I appreciate the compliments."

Natty linked arms with her, dragging her along as they continued walking. "Alright, spill. What's the plan? Are we involved? Because I hope we are."

NingNing nodded eagerly. "I second that. It's about time we put that idiot in his place."

Xinyu sighed dramatically. "You guys are acting like we're in some K-drama revenge arc. I love it. Let's keep going."

Soojin laughed, shaking her head. "Patience, my friends. All will be revealed in due time."

As they walked off, their voices filled the air with excited whispers and mischievous giggles, plotting what was sure to be a satisfying end to Ji-ho's so-called 'perfect family'.

Soojin rang the doorbell to Sion's apartment, standing outside with her arms crossed as she tapped her foot impatiently. She wasn’t sure who would open the door, but after a few seconds, it swung open to reveal Jisung, who blinked at her in confusion.
