Venice: Have you heard from Jin?
Monica: umm....no.
Venice: It's been almost a week. I feel like he's ignoring us.
Monica: What do you mean we saw him yesterday.
Venice: No we didn't.
Monica: Yeah when me and Charlie went to the movie theater with him....oh....
Venice: Is he ignoring me?
Monica: What of course not.
Venice: You guys went to theater's without me?
Monica: noo...we just saw him at the café.
Venice: Monica!
Monica: Fine! We hung out but you were with Leon.
Venice: We all could have gone.
Monica: Well I'm sorry next time we will bring you two.
Venice: So is he ignoring me?
Monica: No he's not.
Venice: I mean come on we used to talk, now for almost two weeks he hasn't even said hi. Did I do something to him? What could have I done.....wait.
Monica: (Oh Oh)
Venice: Did you tell him?
Monica: No....
Venice: Monica...
Monica: I didn't tell them.
Venice: Them!?
Monica: Fine I did.
Venice: Why would you tell them!!??
Monica: I'm sorry it just slipped out.
Venice: Wait then why is Jin avoiding me? Were just friends right?
Monica: He thought that you two shouldn't hang out because it will make Leon upset.
Venice: It's not Leon's decision on who I get to hangout with.
Monica: Well then you talk to Jin. I don't know what to say.
Venice: That Leon! I'm gonna go talk to him!
Venice left and slammed the door.
Monica: geez...I really can't keep a secret.

Venice
…..
Leon: You told them!?
Venice: My sister did. I'm sorry about that.
Leon: Our relationship problems are our problems.
Venice: Yet you don't want me to hangout with Jin.
Leon: Fine yes! I don't like you hanging out with him!
Venice: He's one of my closest friends, you have no right!
Leon: I'm afraid he's going to steal you from me!
Venice: How could you think that?
Leon: You guys are just so much better together. I feel that the more you guys hangout the less you are being drawn away from me.
Venice: Babe...I fell in love with you. You don't have to be so intimidated by Jin. I chose you. We are just really close friends.
Leon: Huh....your right I'm sorry.
Venice: Please call him for me? I don't want to lose one of my dearest friends.
Leon: Your right.
I kissed him on his cheek.
Venice: Thank you so much!
Leon grabbed his phone.
Leon: Jin?
Jin: Wassup man?
Leon: Monica told me about what happened.
Jin: Oh...what did she say?
Leon: She told us that you stopped hanging out with Venice to not hurt my feelings.
Jin: (Thank god!) But I'm really sorry. I didn't want to make you feel uncomfortable.
Leon: Naww man it's no big deal.
Jin: Thanks man.
Jin hung up.
Leon: There you go.
Venice: Thank you.
Leon: Your birthday is coming and I am taking you out somewhere nice.
Venice: Can't wait!

Jin
…
Jin: That brings a load off. I really do hope Venice likes this.
Someone was knocking on my door.
Jin: Hold on, I'm coming.
Lee: Sup bro.
Jin: Hey come in. Let me get you a drink.
Lee: thanks. So what are you working on?
Jin: Venice has been bugging me about singing together so I bought us some studio time at a music store.
Lee: that's good...
Jin: What's up bro? You alright man?
Lee: ummm....here.
He handed me a letter.
Jin: What's this?
Lee: Read it.
I started reading it.
Jin: "Dear Jin and Lee, it's your father. I know that this isn't easy to hear and I know it's been a long time but I would really like to meet you guys again. This might sound rough to hear but I left and started a new life, and you two have a little a new brother and sister. I would like for you guys to meet. I know that I don't deserve to ask for this request but I'm really sorry for what I did. Please forgive me." Sincerely your dad.``
Lee: so?
Jin: So what? We're not doing it.
Lee: What do you mean?
Jin: What? You're not serious about meeting him?
Lee: I am....
Jin: Lee, Why would you ever want to meet him again?
Lee: He's our dad. We have to give him a second chance.
Jin: Dad? No, a dad is someone who is there for their son. A dad is someone who teaches their son how to drive. A dad is someone who is there for their son when he's up all night crying and wondering what he did wrong for disappearing!!
Lee: Why are you being selfish! He wants to see us again.
Jin: Why do you want to see him? He left us. You and I struggled so much to get to where we are now.
Lee: I know...look. I'm going to meet him. I'm going with or without you.
Jin: You've been more of a dad to me than him! Why would you give him a chance!?
Lee: Because you didn't know him. When taking care of you all I could think was what would dad do.
Jin: The reason why we lived like that was because of him! He couldn't handle mom's death and he left! He has another family!
Lee: I know it's hard to hear but....im going to see him in a week. Are you going?
Jin: Just leave.....
Lee: You going to the twins birthday Friday?
Jin: I don't know....
Lee: I hope you change your mind.
......
Venice
......
Venice: Hey where's Jin?
Lee: It's kind of a long story.
Venice: oh...well I'm glad you both made it.
Taylor: Thanks for inviting us!
Leon tapped my shoulder.
Leon: So did you enjoy our dinner?
Venice: I did....
Leon: Well happy birthday babe.
Venice: Thank you.
I went to talk to Monica and Charlie.
Charlie: Still haven't seen him?
Venice: No.
Monica: Look I know you're worried but it's our birthday and enjoy it.
Venice: Your right hehe. Everyone thank you for coming!
Taylor: Come on now let's party!
Everyone: Yeah!!!

Monica opened it and it was a nice picture of her and Charlie.

They hugged each other.

Leon: I have too haha!
I opened it and it was a watch.
Venice: Aww thank you honey.
Leon: Of course.
Charlie: And this one from me.
Charlie got us both tickets to a musical that we've been wanting to go to.
Monica: Thanks babe!!
She jumped on Charlie.
Charlie: Your welcome haha!!
Lee: And these are the last ones.
Charlie: Whose presents are those?
Taylor: It's Jin's.
Venice: Go ahead you open it first.
Monica opened her present.
Monica: Oh my god!
Everyone: What is it?
Monica: He remembered. When I first helped him with his YouTube channel I showed him what kind of camera we wanted and this was what I needed.
Charlie: Wow that's amazing.
Lee: Kind of things that he does hehe.
Venice: Wow that's amazing.
Leon: Open yours bae.
Venice: Okay.
I opened it and it was a letter.
Venice: Dear Venice. Sorry I couldn't make it. But happy birthday to you both and ever since meeting you two my life has gotten so much better. And Venice this is for you.
I opened it and almost cried.
Leon: What is it?
Venice: He bought me studio time at a music company....
Taylor: Aww that's so sweet.
Charlie: Wow that's amazing.
Venice: It is.
Leon: looks great...
I could tell that he looked bothered.
Venice: I think I should get going. I got to clean my house.
Monica: Yeah thank you guys for everything really.
Leon: Yeah I got to work so see you guys tomorrow.
Leon came and kissed me.
Leon: Happy birthday.
Venice: See ya.
Leon left.
Venice: Really wish he was here so I could thank and hug him.
Monica: Me too.
Lee: Actually....it's my fault he's not here.
Monica: Oh. What happened?
Lee: Just some stupid fight.
Taylor: Wait you haven't apologized?
Lee: It's not my fault.
Taylor: Well tell them.
We all were looking at Lee and Taylor.
Lee: This is awkward.
Lee told us all about the card and everything.
Charlie: woah...
Venice: You're gonna see your dad?
Lee: yeah but Jin won't go.
Charlie: I'm sorry to hear that.
Lee: But to be honest I kind of don't want to see my father as well.
Taylor: Why not?
Lee: Well without Jin, There's no point. We do everything together.
Venice: Call him.
Lee: Huh....
Lee grabbed his phone and was talking to him.
Lee was talking to him for a while.
Taylor: I love him but this whole issue is hurting him so much.
Monica: Yeah...it's okay. We've been through so much as well.
Charlie: Wow this birthday got depressing.
Venice: Hehe my bad. Let's enjoy ourselves.
Lee came back in.
All of us were looking at him.
Lee: It's okay we're fine.
Taylor: I'm glad.
Venice: Is he coming?
Lee: Naw sorry he said he's training.
Venice: What!? He trained without me?
Monica: Aww we all were supposed to train together tomorrow.
Lee: Well....we can still go.
Charlie: Yeah! Gym is still open.
Venice: Let's do it!
I ran into my room to change.
Lee: Wanna go?
Taylor: Sure let's all meet up at the court.
We all arrived at the court.
Venice: Is it closed?
Lee: I don't get it. He told me he was still here.
Charlie Hello!?
A worker walked out.
Monica: Excuse me are you guys closed?
Worker: Yeah except one guy. Wait are you Venice and Monica?
Monica and Venice: Yeah.
Worker: Have fun!
The worker left.
Venice: What did he mean by that?
Monica: Oh...I don't know.
We all walked in and the courtroom light was on and there was a cake with candle on a table. Jin was on the other side of the table.
Jin: Happy Birthday!
Venice: What's this?
Jin: Felt kind of bad that I wasn't there for the birthday.
Monica: That's so sweet.
Charlie: That's amazing.
Lee: Sup Jin.
Jin: Hey bro...maybe in time we can go see him together.
Lee: Your right.
Venice: Thanks for the presents.
Monica: Oh yeah the gift was amazing!
Jin: Well you two have been working hard and you deserve it. And besides I rented the place all we have to do is close and clean up after we're done.
Venice: Yay!!!
We blew the cake.
Jin walked up to me.
Jin: Okay before we play the last gift.
Venice: Really another one?
Jin: Open it.
Venice opened the letter.
It was a list of songs that were duets.
Venice: What is this hehe?
Jin: A list of songs we could cover.
I felt so happy.
