Chapter 12 - Perfect coincidence. (1/2)

When Sara woke up the next morning, she saw a little brown face hovering above hers and was slightly startled.

”Sis? you're awake?” Joreen asked with a smile. Revealing her two missing front teeth.

Sara gently sat up. Thanks to her Father's help last night, she was not suffering from a hangover that much but only felt slightly weak.

The window was wide opened and the bright sunlight stinged her eyes. She had to shield her eyes with her hands as she tried to adjust to the sudden brightness after being asleep for a long time.

The room was quite small. There were only two bedrooms in the apartment. One she shared with Joreen and the other one was her father's. Sara and Joreen both shared the same bed as the room wouldn't fit an extra bed except it was a really small mattress which wouldn't be a good idea since Joreen was a rough sleeper.

”Sis, what happened? Was it really them?”

Unlike her father, Joreen was a rather nosy little girl. She was still too young to know the type of questions she was supposed to ask or not. Sara nodded while yawning.

”O.M.G!” Joreen exclaimed then covered her agape mouth. Sara couldn't help but laugh at her dramatics. She could see the evidence of all the Korean dramas Joreen had been watching.

She was really grateful for having Joreen by her side. Joreen's mother was her Father's younger sister, Cixi Wang. She had gotten pregnant for an African man she met during one of her volunteer job outside the country.

He later abandoned her and since then, she hadn't heard from him. When she finally had Joreen, she made sure Joreen bore the surname 'Wang'.

Since she was still always busy with her volunteer work as a doctor, which required moving from one country to another often, she had to leave her daughter with her only brother, Jianjun Wang and his daughter, Sara. But that did not stop her from calling everyday except she was really busy. They gladly agreed to it. Sara loved her aunt a lot. Joreen also, was a sweet little girl. Although she had a brown skin and afro black hair, which was very different from how most kids around country B looked like, she was not so easily bullied because she was a bully herself. And also had Sara to back her up! Sara didn't know how the past year would have been if not for the dramatic Joreen beside her.

Joreen had been waiting for Sara to wake up for a long time. She had waited last night tirelessly and finally fell asleep. When she woke up this morning and finally saw Sara beside her sleeping, she didn't want to let go of this opportunity to have a good gossip. So she had been waiting for her to wake up.. ”Did you hit them?” She asked curiously while acting all angry. ”No.” Sara answered.

”Why? See why I should have followed you!” She said disapprovingly.

”....” Sara

”I never liked that Jinyong” Joreen said.

Sara looked at her and cocked her head to the side while raising a brow Joreen seemed to understand what she was trying to say by her actions and suddenly blurted out.

”Well, maybe I did like him just a little bit” She used her fingers to show the tiny degree of 'like' she had for him. Sara laughed again.
