'This is Saki the famous mermaid, I may not be around at this moment so leave your message after the beep…. Beep…..’

“Sakura… this is Zhang… let’s meet.  Teddy Bear Museum, 9 am.” And then the line broke. Sakura instantly opened her eyes only to shut them close again.

“What the heck? What does she wants?” she murmured as she stepped out of her bed. It was Saturday and she was planning to go out with Rei since they never have the chance before but with all the people wanting to speak to her, going out that day with her sister will be impossible.

“Why would I meet that ?” she talked to her self in the mirror. Her eyes were seriously puffy because she slept late that night. She had to pour out her convincing power to Yunho’s friend.

She chuckled at the thought.

Yunho, her Oppa has a girl and he never told her about it.

“Jaemi?” Yunho was shot frozen and simply pulled Sakura’s hand away from his arm, like he don't want the pretty girl in front of them to get jealous or something.

“Sorry.” The girl suddenly bowed. “I’ll go now.” She then started to walk her way to the door.

“Wait.” Yunho’s senses came back and pulled her arm close to him.

Changmin and Sakura just stood in front of them, watching. She didn’t have a clue of what was happening neither the maknae.

“You came…” Yunho whispered. Sakura saw some sparkle in his eyes, something that she couldn’t explain.

“And I’m going.”

“No.”

“Oppa, let me go.” The girl said but Yunho didn’t even flinch.

And their stares were like they were going to eat each other. So Sakura stepped in the scene.

“Hi there.” She smiled. “I’m Sakura.” She reached for her hand but the girl just looked at them with a sudden changed of expression. She suddenly went sad and Sakura didn’t know why. Her friendly gesture didn’t help to lighten the mood that night.

“S...Sakura?” she stuttered and looked at Yunho afterwards.

“Yes… Sakura.” Her friendliness never left.

“I’m going.” She forcedly pulled her arm away from Yunho’s tight grip and headed for the door.

“Wait! It’s not what you think!” Yunho yelled witch made the girl stopped. Her back was on them.

“We just talked about something. You didn’t inform me that you will come today.” He looked down.

“That’s why I’m going. Sorry for the sudden gate crash.” She said sarcastically but Yunho didn’t back down.

“Saki and I…” he took a deep breath and Saki saw all the seriousness Yunho’s eyes could offer. It was like he was begging for his life. “We’re friends.”

 And Sakura had begun to understand the situation.  The girl was actually jealous. And that gave conclusion to her confusion. The girl in front of her was no ordinary. If she can make Yunho, the great leader act like that, she must be something and Sakura found it interesting.

“Let me talk to her.” She said to Yunho.

“Huh?”

“I’d like to have a talk… a girl talk.” She said.

“Okay.” But Yunho just stood there with arms crossed.

“Just the two of us?” she shooed him away.

“But…?”

“Oppa? I will not eat her alive!” Yunho pouted and turned away but what he did made Sakura grimaced.

“Wait!” she stopped him.

“What?”

“Did you just pout?”

“Me?” he pointed himself.

“Who else?”

“She does that… always.” The girl behind them batted in.

“What?” Sakura couldn’t believe it. She never once saw Yunho pouted that cutely and it actually sent shivers down to her spine. “That’s disgusting.”

The girl silently giggled.

“Ah yah!” he turned away and went to Changmin who was also laughing silently. He turned serious when he saw his hyung coming.

“Okay!” Sakura turned to the girl and smiled. “Jaemi right?”

She nodded.

“Look, Yunho Oppa and I, we’re friends. Just friends.”

“You are his ex-girlfriend right?”

She almost choked with that.

“Is that what he told you?”

Jaemi shook her head down. “But he kept on talking about you. He said you’re special.”

That made Sakura blushed. She was touched with what she said.

“Come on, let’s sit.” She took her hand and headed to the couch at the middle of the huge but slightly messy living room.

‘Guys.’ She hissed under her nose. ‘When will they learn how to be tidy?’

Jaemi followed her and sat.

“I used to like him.” Sakura started.

“Really?” she was amazed by the girl’s honesty towards her.

“And I will not lie to you about liking him so much.”  She smiled when she remembered the day she daydreamed about DBSK’s leader. “But that was before!” she quickly added.

Jaemi nodded.

“You believe me right?” she was actually starting to get nervous. She didn’t want to get in the way between the girl and Yunho’s relationship or what ever they call it.

“I guess.” There was still doubt in her voice and Sakura couldn’t help but sigh.

She got dressed and texted Rei to cancel their date. The two girls were disappointed but Sakura had a feeling that what Zhang will tell her will determine their future and she have to change her plans afterwards.

She sat on one of the bench in front of the teddy bear museum and waited for her so-called foe. She looked at the place, it didn’t change a bit, it still gave her the same excitement she had when she first visited that place… with Zhang, when they were still friends.

And just like the first time, Zhang was an hour late but it didn’t made Sakura angry or what so ever. She enjoyed watching the children plays in front of her and heard the birds sing. She didn’t even notice her when she came.

“Saki.” She almost squirmed with that voice. “I’m sorry I’m late.” She bowed to her and that made her raise one of her eye brows.

“What’s new?” she started with a kick. Zhang chose not to talk. “How professional of you.”

“Are we just going to sit like this forever? I don't have all the time in the world so you know. I gave up my day out with my sister so you have to make sure that what you’ll going to say is important.” She sounded like a boss. She didn’t want Zhang to treat her small like she used to.

“Ah...” Zhang suddenly stuttered. She was trying to make eye contact with her but Sakura was looking away. “I want to say sorry”

Sakura chuckled.

“For what, for stealing my boyfriend? “

She looked down and took a deep breath.

“What is this drama?” Sakura finally looked at her. “Where is that dark side of you? I’m not actually used on seeing you this gentle.”

“Like I said, I want to apologize. But I wont give him up.” And there was still determination on her voice.

Sakura smiled.

“Who told you to give him up?”

“You can say whatever to me, do whatever you want but please not Junsu, I love him so much.”

“And the Chinese is afraid.” Another victory for Sakura.

“How does it feel now that you’re guy is being taken away from you?”

“Saki we’re friends right? So please, not Junsu.”

“Used to be....We are friends before you stole him away from me. That day, you turned into my biggest foe.”

“He will not be coming back to you.” Zhang’s voice returned to natural, she couldn’t pretend anymore. She will not allow Sakura to step on her that easy, she decided to fight back.

“Says who?” But Sakura will not break so easily, not to anyone… not to her. “His kiss said he still loves me.” She wanted to spit on her. She wanted to pull her hair from her scalp but that would be less painful. She wanted to hurt Zhang inside, like a knife that is slowly stabbing her heart, leaving no space for her to breathe.

Zhang hissed with what she said. That kiss made her world split into half. She cursed her down to her bones.

“You are with Kyu Hyun now. You don't need Junsu.”

“Says who?” Sakura said once again. She wanted to piss the girl and she will do it slowly.

“Saki!”

“It’s Sakura for you. Is that all? Tsk… tsk… nonsense. Don't waste your time convincing me to stop because guess what? I’m just getting started and stopping is not included on my list.” She stood and started to walk away but Zhang yelled at her.

“I will do anything!”

She faced her and smirked. “Anything?” that sounded so good to her.

Zhang nodded.

“Come to my house on Tuesday… and I will give you what you want.” And left.

“You made the biggest mistake of dealing with this .” Sakura hummed while walking away.
