366 Food was more important than her boyfriend (1/2)

However, Ryn did not say anything. Instead, she just adjusted her seating to her comfort, too tired to even chat with Mika. It was better stealing the time for napping rather than trying to reason with a daredevil called Mika.

Mika did not complain when she wanted to chat but Ryn went straight closing her eyes to sleep. She knew her best friend was still exhausted from her work and then still agreed to accompany her shopping. This kind of loyalty was hard to get even among friends. No wonder she was reluctant to get more friends after she met Ryn. For her, Ryn was enough. Ryn and Jason, the love of her life.

She was driving happily toward Ryn's apartment when she noticed the ring coming from Ryn's phone. She frowned, thinking who was the caller. She waited for Ryn to wake up to answer the call but her best friend was too exhausted to notice the call.

Mika pursed her lips. Should she answer it for Ryn? It might be important.

She used one hand to get Ryn's bag to answer it but the ringing stopped. Mika waited for the phone to ring again, but it didn't. Instead, her own phone rang. As her phone was connected to the car's audio, Mika could see the name of the caller. She pursed her lips. This time, she decided to play deaf and ignored the call.

It was so obvious the one calling Ryn was him and when he could not connect to Ryn, he called her instead. He wanted to check Ryn's location. And then, her pretty pajama party would be canceled because he wanted to spend time with Ryn, leaving her alone.

No. She would not allow that to happen. She would not allow him to steal Ryn away from her.

It took him several calls before he gave up. But then again, Ryn's phone started to ring again. Well, it seemed like her big brother decided that Ryn was not with her and hence tried calling Ryn again.

She won't let it from happening. Hmph. Mika kicked the accelerator harder to make the car even faster. Once they reached the apartment, she would quietly silence the phones so Jeremy could not contact any of them. He should just focus on the company instead of trying to 'steal' Ryn from her.

To her relief, not once did Ryn wake up from the non-stop ringing. The anger in her heart built up as that stupid brother did not even know the meaning of giving up. Luckily, throughout the time not once did it wake Ryn up. Her best friend was so exhausted from all the work and shopping. Poor Ryn.

”Hmm…?” Ryn asked sleepily. She looked around and rubbed her eyes again. Did they arrive at her place? ”You're coming?”

”Of course. We're having our pajama party tonight,” Mika said cheerfully. She shut the engine off and pulled the key. Then, she tried to grab Ryn's bag from Ryn's hands. She was worried that the stupid brother of hers suddenly decided to call again and her naïve and innocent best friend would answer the call automatically. It would ruin her perfect plan.

”I can carry it. You carry whatever you need to use tonight,” Ryn replied with a chuckle. She was still drowsy but managed to feel funny seeing how desperate Mika was trying to get her bag. She did not find it weird at all, thinking Mika was being her playful self again. Mika was, after all, still a childish girl in Ryn's eyes, and needed to always being pampered or she would feel neglect. This was stupid, as Mika was the baby in the group and everyone loved and pampered her.

Mika tried again but failed. In the end, groaning loudly, Mika went to open the bonnet to grab some paper bags to carry with her into Ryn's apartment. She followed behind Ryn while grumbling under her breath.

”What are you grumbling about?” Ryn asked when she noticed what her best friend was doing.

”Nothing,” Mika mumbled.

Ryn did not poke too much into it. She just shrugged it off and entered the elevator. She pushed the button to pause the door from closing in order for Mika to enter the small place without rushing.

”What are we going to have for dinner?” Ryn asked suddenly as she watched her best friend leaning toward the elevator's cold wall. She was about to press the button to close the door when she heard someone asking to keep the door open. She quickly pressed the open door again.

Three men came in breathlessly. One of them quickly thanked immediately once they entered the elevator but when he saw Ryn, the voice trailed off. The other two were ogling at Ryn as well, their jaw almost dropped.

Mika cocked an eyebrow seeing their reaction.

She looked at Ryn but was taken aback seeing her best friend was leaning toward the wall comfortably with her eyes shut. Great, Sleeping Beauty did not notice the look from the men. Sigh.
