Chapter 57
Department XYoona screamed at the top of her lungs in frustration as everyone in the cafe turned and looked at her with a puzzled look on their face. Yuri hurriedly reassured the guests that everything was okay as she ran over to Yoona and tried finding out what had happened. Sunny and Taeyeon were out on a surveillance mission and had left the cafe in Jessica and Yuri's care but a last minute solo mission brought Jessica to Uruguay leaving Yuri to tend to the cafe alone. Since Yuri was currently on a one week break before her final test, she reluctantly agreed to help them out after a slight persuasion from Jessica in the realms of their bed.
Yoona looked up as the tears slowly welled up within those doleful eyes of hers and her lips quivered when she spoke "Unnie, it's been the third day now and I still cannot get in contact with Sooyoung. I am afraid of something happening to her." A fat drop of tear rolled down her cheek as Yuri gently reached out to brush it away. Taking a seat on the arm rest of the couch Yoona was in, Yuri smiled as she wrapped an arm around Yoona's shoulder drawing her close. "I am sure Sooyoung is fine. Maybe she is just busy with something and is currently uncontactable as of this moment. I am sure she will contact you once she's free" Yoona sniffed as she drew in her lower lips, gently biting on them. Blinking back the tears that were threatening to spill out she slowly nodded as she leant her head onto Yuri's chest and allowed the warmth of Yuri's embrace to comfort her.
A growling sound interrupted the affectionate moment they shared and Yuri broke into a cheery laughter when she realized that the source of the noise was Yoona's stomach. Standing up, she stretched her taut muscles as she mischievously ruffled Yoona's hair. Yoona faked a snarl at Yuri who smilingly extended out an hand to her"let's go see what we can whip up together."
The egg rolled around on the counter top for a second or two before dropping onto the kitchen floorings and got itself smashed. Yoona tried saving the egg before it could drop but it fell between her fingers as she landed clumsily onto the ground together with it. Yuri rushed over to the source of noise and shook her head with a smile on her facs as she helped Yoona up and brushed the egg shell pieces off her face. Yoona rubbed at the bump on her head gingerly as she turned to face Yuri while pouting. Yuri smiled as she held onto Yoona's arms and gently turned her around pushing her out of the kitchen and into the dining area. Sitting her down by the dining table, Yuri ordered her to stay as she re-entered the kitchen to resume her cooking. Yoona made a face in the direction and bleahed as Yuri's voice floated out from inside the kitchen "I heard that."
Yuri exited the kitchen with a pot of reddish looking stew and two bowls of rice. Yoona tucked in immediately with gusto as she slurped at her food and smiled happily at Yuri. Yuri disappeared into the kitchen again and returned with a plastic bowl and towel. Yoona observed her closely as she took a hard boiled egg out from the bowl and wrapped it inside the towel. Holding the towel up to the bump on Yoona's forehead, she firmly held the squirming Yoona down as she gently rubbed the egg on the bump. Yuri spoke gently as she kept on rubbing and rubbing "I know it hurt and it feels really hot now. But I learnt this method from the natives there during one of the times when I went to south east Asia and it really does work miracles. So stay still ok?" Yoona nodded and tried her best not move allowing Yuri to work her magic with the egg. She felt the pain slowly dissipate and as the heat decreased to a lukewarm temperature, it actually felt pretty soothing to her. Closing her eyes, Yoona slowly fell asleep as the comforting feeling of Yuri's hand on her face, the fullness of the lunch she just had and the warmth of the egg all blended together into one enjoyable feeling of euphoria.
