Athary, Frin
Bam.
"Ahhh~~" Ruby exclaimed as she closed the door, stepping into the comfort of the place she had called home ever since she started school; the studio apartment given to her by Diamond.
It has been another long day of studying, doing assignments, interacting with friends, and, above all, making herself popular.
Thinking about the last things she did for the day, a helpless smile appeared on her face.
Ruby went straight to the bedroom and freshened herself. She had eaten already, so there was no need for her to go to the kitchen.
Wearing her lightweight pajamas since it was hot, she threw herself on the bed and lay on her belly with her legs kicking in the air while holding her tablet in hand.
She needed to do something very important, and now was the perfect time—or so she hoped. After all, she was about to call Diamond.
The time zones were different, so she needed to be careful about the time that she called.
Ruby logged into ChatLine and went straight to her sister’s chat and dialed the video call icon.
The phone started ringing, and it did so several times before the call was answered.
[Hey!] a cheerful voice sounded from the other side, a familiar face coming into view.
Upon seeing that face, a smile blossomed on her face, thinking how much she loved seeing her sister.
"Hey, Sis! Where are you?" Ruby greeted and asked curiously as she saw the background of where Diamond was.
She didn’t seem to be at the hotel, but outside. And the place that she was in was a bit noisy with people speaking in Gesalsi, making it hard for her to hear what they were talking about.
[Oh! Just sending something to this place. Anyway, why did you call? Did something happen at home?]
Seeing her changing the topic, Ruby could only bite her tongue and not ask further. However, hearing the curiosity in her tone, she couldn’t help but feel helpless.
Can’t a sister call a sister for no reason?
Unfortunately, that wasn’t the case. After all, she had a reason to call.
"Everything is fine at home. I just wanted to ask you about your birthday. What are your plans?" it’s been a while now, and there wasn’t any news from Diamond.
It was as if she wasn’t planning on doing anything at all and that was giving her pressure. Especially with the super fans, who were busy with the birthday surprises for Diamond.
There should be something, right?
Even if it’s not for the fans but for the family as a whole.
When was the last time they sat together and celebrated a birthday?
She wanted to celebrate one for sure. She just hoped that Diamond would organize something.
There was silence on the other side of the call and after a while, a response came, [I almost forgot about that, actually. How about this? I will make some plans this side and tell you once I am done.]
When Ruby heard that, a sigh of relief escaped her lips. At least there was something despite the forgetting.
"Is it the family kind of fan kind?" she asked in addition, curious about it.
