"I see a lot of things have changed while I was gone," Jun Li Na remarked as she gazed at the pair of four couples sitting opposite of her.
"Right! Let me introduce you... That one besides Jian-Ge is Zhao Mi'er. And..." Xu Mey had started the introduction with excitement bubbling inside her eyes. But Wu Wang stopped her from continuing.
"And the one you can see beside me is a crazy girl. She's a blockhead doctor but to not hurt her feelings, we call her Yang Ziyi." Jun Li Na had to say that introduction from Wu Wang was a bit... unique?
"Hey, who are you calling a blockhead doctor?" Yang Ziyi glared at Wu Wang.
"Is there any doctor here other than you?" Wu Wang retorted.
"Dr. Shen is here," Yang Ziyi pointed towards Lin Shen who was languidly sipping on his tea.
"And is your Dr. Shen called she?" Wu Wang asked again with a bit of amusement dancing in his eyes.
"No..." She drawled her words out while pouting in confusion.
"Who else is a 'she' doctor here?" Hearing Wu Wang's question, Yang Ziyi immediately pointed at her own nose. Wu Wang rubbed her head gently and said, "That's what I was saying. Presenting our blockhead doctor."
"You!" Realizing how she was just made fun of by Wu Wang, she hit his chest in annoyance while puffing up her cheeks.
Jun Li Na laughed out at their antics. Well, she wasn't the only one laughing.
"Shen, what did you do?" Jun Li Na shifted her attention to Lin Shen.
"What did I do?" Lin Shen asked in confusion.
"Well, I left three sole and sane friends by your side. How come you turned them from sole to pairs of soulmates?" Everyone shared a laugh again.
"Anyway, Mi'er and Ziyi, that's Jun Li Na. Xiao Mey's childhood friend. She's also very close to both of your partners. As for Yu Kim, I don't need to brief you about anything at all." Sun Ju gave the introduction and a casual greeting was shared.
"Where is your husband?" Jun Li Na inquired about Jie.
"Brooding in the kitchen." Xu Mey answered a bit uncertainly. Jun Li Na frowned but didn't comment.
"I should go and say hello to him," Jun Li Na excused herself.
In the kitchen, Jie was really brooding but not in the way Jun Li Na expected him to. Jie was doing something on his cellphone with a frustrated look.
Feeling someone's presence, Jie looked up and was a bit surprised to find Jun Li Na standing before him. "Wow, you came silently," Jie said with a strange expression. "Didn't Jun see you yet?"
"He's the one who opened the door for me." Jun Li Na answered.
"Really? Then why is it still so quiet?" Jie mumbled to himself.
"I don't understand..."
"The way he was missing you for months now, I thought he'll just scream it to the world that you are back. But well... He definitely disappointed me this time." Jie sighed out showing his disappointment.
Jun Li Na chuckled at his words and said, "He missed me? He just ignored my existence. He's even avoiding my gaze now."
This time Jie laughed out. "That sure is my Jun. He's playing the cold-shoulder game. Haha... Silly brother. You don't think that he forgot you, right?"
"No, I don't. I know he's trying to get back at me for leaving without a word. I think I deserve that." Jun Li Na was more understanding than Jie originally thought.
"Yes, it's not like you did the right thing." He wasn't against her leaving but he thought she should have said something to Jun before going away. But thinking again, she had made her intentions clear, Jun would have never agreed to let her go. Jie stayed silent afterward and the tip of his pointer finger kept tapping at his cell phone's screen in a steady manner. "Can I ask you something?"
"Sure."
"Why are you here? I mean... Are you back for Mey or Jun?"
"If I say Jun, would you believe me?" She asked rhetorically.
"Try me..." Jie answered with a smile.
"Haha... I think you got my answer already."
"Really? I didn't even realize it." He feigned ignorance. "It's good to see you back. For both my Mey and my Jun." Jun Li Na gave him a reassuring smile.
They both shared a moment of comfortable silence. Jie got the answer he needed. If she was here for Jun then he couldn't ask for anything else. She was his brother's dream, how could he possibly question that?
Knowing that she was back for Jun, he felt relaxed. It wasn't like he couldn't see Jun's loneliness. It was his loneliness that brought that little minx to his house every other day just to piss him off.
