I was lying on the cold hard floor of my apartment living room, just staring at the ceiling, and inside my head was a chaos. It was 11pm and I still couldn't sleep. So yea.. a lot of rubbish events had happened during those times. They were actually nothing for me. I knew everything will be over sooner, but there's really one thing I couldn't just shrug off of my mind. The thought of her. It kept on bothering me.

 

Since the day I had realized my feelings for her, I really couldn't help but assume about Yongsun-unnie having a thing for me too for the way she treated me. She was really nice and we get along really well. But, I really didn't know what she really felt towards me. Another thing was that, I don't even know if she liked girls too.

 

I felt so agitated and just wanted to roll myself around the living room floor for the whole night. But yea.. this stupud-stupid girl (a.k.a. ME) couldn't keep herself from sending a message. I just felt like I really need an answer from her about this.

 

To: Yeba<3

   –Unnieeeee~ I feel so uneasyyy. A lot of random things are messing with my thoughts. Heeeelpp. *crying emoji

 

Yongsun-unnie and I were very close. Unfortunately for me, I fell for her really deeply even though there was a thought that she wouldn't like me more than friends do. I accidentally confessed to her a year before. It was fine for her since we've developed a very close relationship but since then, I haven't heard about what she really thought about that.

 

I was really afraid to ask because it was risky and might ruin our friendship. She was the most amazing person I knew and I wouldn't really like it if I couldn't have her even as a friend.

 

*Ka-talk~*

 

Few moments later, a message has arrived.

 

From: Yeba<3

   – Byul-ahhh. What's the matter?? Have you been drinking a lot these days? Since when are you feeling like that? Tell me what happened.

 

Her reply made me smile like a fool. I can easily tell that she was really worried.

 

To: Yeba<3

   – Silly. You know I don't drink too much. But unnie.. I really don't know.... It feels weirdddd. 

 

I know, i know... That was stupid. I knew what my problem was, and it was about her. The thing is, I couldn't directly say it to her of course, so I had to say stupid excuses and wait for our conversation to actually get 'there' eventually.

 

In less than a minute, Yongsun unnie replied.

 

From: Yeba<3

   – You . I'll call you later. I have to finish my paperworks first.

 

My eyes widened as I saw the word 'call'. Like... oh my gosh.. I couldn't really talked to her about it through a phone call. My coward would just melt and my voice will tremble when we actually talked about that. Regardless of my thoughts, I still replied with an "Okay!"

 

So yea.. I decided to think of sentences I could say to her about my concern. I actually made a mental list of questions I might ask during the call:

• Hey unnie. So I was thinking.. Are you still aware for my feelings towards you? Or again, you thought that it's already gone?
• I just want to ask you about how you feel towards this.
• Do you remember the time I told you that I like you? I still feel that way until now.
• I'm kinda desperate for an answer, unnie. It really bothers a lot.

 

All of those plus some other silly remarks and question were invading my mind that moment. What the am I thinking?! I'm not this type of persoooon!! I thought to myself. I was really messed up. The floor was almost polished because I was rolling myself vigorously onto it. *sigh....

 

-------------------------

 

*Ka-talk~*

 

From: Yeba<3

   – Hey I'm back, you stupid . I'll call now.

 

It sent kinetic energy all over my body and I jolted up to sit. The rate of heartbeat increases as i thought of it.

 

*bzzzzz... bzzzzz....

 

Ohhhkaaay... She's calling. I'm chill. I'm chill. Moon Byulyi, get a hold of yourself.

 

Few rings later, I answered.

 

"H-hi Yongs-sun unnie.."

 

"Moon Byulyi!! You sound terrible as hell! What happened?!"

 

I froze as her voice lingers through me holistically. It sent chills to my spine. Yongsun's voice really sounded like the most beautiful music in my ears even whether she's furious or calm. To get rid of being tongue-tied, I decided to just laugh it off so I won't sound agitated. But, Yongsun didn't buy it.

 

"Ha ha ha your face. You thought you can hide it with your laugh?"

 

"No.. Haha okay, so yea.. I guess I just need someone to talk to right now and maybe because I'm bored and lacking attention so here I am, bothering you."

 

"Very reasonable indeed.", she said in a very sarcastic tone. "Why won't you just say it Byul-ah, I'm listening."

 

"Ehehe.. So Yongsun-unnie, how's your day?"

 

I tried to divert the topic. There was a long silence before she answered.

 

"Fine."

 

"Oh really~ Doesn't seem like it. Bad day, unnie?"

 

"Ohh you bet......."

 

With that, Yongsun-unnie started talking about how exhausted she was because of work. She really is a type of person who shares a lot about her daily life, but only to her closest friends. It was really heartwarming to hear her various types of voices; excited, anxious, irritated, cheerful, gloomy.. everything. They all sounded like a beautiful melody to my ears. 

 

We shifted from topic to topic and didn't have any dead air. I love how she never let awkwardness dwell in between us. I'm actually a good listener, but a terrible talker. An hour had almost passed and I still didn't open up my concern. I was afraid of what might happen to us after.

 

Suddenly, I didn't realize that she became quiet. No one was talking. I heard silent breathing from the other line so I know she's still there. My heart, once again, began thumping really fast like it wanted to breakfree from my chest.

 

Should I start talking about that?! Should I??? I kept asking myself. It seemed to be a great mood and opportunity for that. So.... 

 

"Byul-ah".. ("Yongsun-unnie")

 

"Why?".. ("What?")

 

"Unnie, you go first."

 

"No. It was nothing. Go on."

 

I sensed something different with the way she talked. Like she was expecting me to say some important thing to her. I heaved a sigh. Okay...

 

"Unnie.. Uhm.. What i was trying to tell you is that..."

 

"Go... Say it."

 

 

"I hope you don't mind but..."

 

 

"Uhhumm..."

 

 

"Yongsun-unnie.. I haven't taken a bath yet. I feel itchy. I'll take a shower now.", I said those with my jolliest voice. My scaredy-cat self was showing herself again.

 

 

"...."

 

 

"Unnie, are you still there?"

 

"Byul-ah."

 

"Yes?"

 

"...... Whatever it is, I'll listen to you and try my best to understand. I don't really like if you're keeping the burden to yourself. We're not bestfriends for nothing."

 

Bestfriends... It kept on repeating on my mind.

 

Yes, we are indeed bestfriends. Why should I ask for more? Friendships last longer than most of romantic relationships out there. I should just be thankful for this. Opening about my romantic feelings for her was too much of a risk.

 

The line became silent for a short while. I smiled before letting my thoughts be heard by Yongsun unnie.

 

"Don't worry, unnie. I think I'm fine already. Thanks to you, hahaha. You made me feel better with all your silly stories. So yea.. I'll go take a shower now, then I'll sleep after. Thank you, unnie. Goodnight. Love you."

 

"...."

 

"...."

 

"You sure you wouldn't say something?"

 

"Uhm.. Yep. Pretty sure."

 

"....."

 

"..."

 

"Byul-ah"

 

"Hmm?"

 

 

 

"I love you too! Goodnight!"

 

 

 

*beep

 

-----------------------------------------------

 

 

Sswwsshhhhhhhhh!!!!!

 

 

I let the water drip all over my body. I was standing with my arms folded across my chest.

 

I love you too.

 

We were really used to saying those things to each other casually so I really wondered why at that moment, it sent chills all over my body. Once again, I felt hopeful. I thought it wasn't right feeling that way though. I've already made up my mind, and that is to stick with our friendship.

 

It took me more than an hour inside the bathroom. I put my bathrobe on and began drying my hair. When I checked the time on my phone, it was already half past 2am. I decided to send a message for Yongsun-unnie.

 

To: Yeba<3

   – Yongsun-unnie! I've just finished washing myself. Thanks again. I hope you're now having a good dream. Goodnight! :">

 

.......

 

*Ka-talk~*

 

From: Yeba<3

   – Thank goodness I was able to help. :)

 

To: Yeba<3

   – Oh! You're still awake? Hahahaha No, unnie. I was just pretending. You really made it worse. HAHAHAHAHAHA nah. Just kidding.

 

From: Yeba<3

   – You bastard. HAHAHAHAHAHA Oh.. and no, I'm not really awake. It's just that I'm sleep typing now. -_-

 

To: Yeba<3

   – Well that was rude. You're always rude unnie *smirking emoji* You need to sleep already though. You'll be late for work.

 

From: Yeba<3

   – I still have something left to do. I'll go sleep later.. 

 

 

 

I was still typing my reply to her when suddenly..

 

 

*bzzzzz

 

My phone vibrated once again. I was so puzzled for I wasn't prepared for another call. With my heart beating incredibly fast, I managed to answer it.

 

Okay here it goes. "Hi Yongsu---"

 

"Byul-ah."

 

I was cut off when I heard the most wonderful voice there is. Her voice was serious and was on a lower range than the usual. Being somehow intimidated by that, I couldn't reply immediately. 

 

Holy crap. How should I deal with this?!

 

"Uh.. Eh... uhm--", I was stuttering as hell.

 

"Moon Byulyi."

 

"Oh uh.. Wh-why did you call, unnie?"

 

"Just wanna say something."

 

"Okay, unnie.. Go on."

 

 

"Byul-ah... I wanted you to know that.. YOU'RE THE MOST INCREDIBLY DUMBEST PERSON I'VE KNOWN IN MY ENTIRE LIFE. YOU IS AN INSENSITIVE ONE TOO. I REALLY WONDER WHY I'M FRIENDS WITH YOU THOUGH. ARGHHHHH!!! YOU STUPIIIIID !!!!

 

"Woah wait-- Unnie.. Uh.. Why are---"

 

"Byul-ah......."

 

"Y-yes?"

 

 

 

..........

 

 

 

"Open the door for me. I'm here."

 

 

 

Without a second thought, I rushed to the front door and furiously opened it only to see the most ethereal girl in the universe. She was still holding her phone up against her ears as she stared at my eyes deeply. I saw her dark brown orbs getting all teary, so I dragged her to my embrace while closing the door behind.

 

"Y-yongsun-unnie. What b-brings you here?? At this hour? Are you serious?!?"

 

"It's because you're stupid!! You call me Yeba, but you're the one who's actually dumber.", she said those things while pounding against my chest.

 

"Ow ow... Unni--- wh---"

 

In a spilt second, I found myself being mesmerized by something nice. So nice that it melted my whole body. Her two brown orbs were only few inches away from mine. They were staring directly in to my soul. She closed her eyes and I felt her lips brushed against mine. Unconsciously, I closed my eyes too. It was glorious. Her soft, tender, honey-sweet lips moving along with my own ones... It certainly was the best thing I felt in my entire existence in this world. I felt her arms wrapped around my neck without breaking our lips apart. She then caressed my right cheek as she pulled my face to deepen the kiss. I couldn't help but smile in between those steamy kisses. It felt really marvelous. I can feel the outburst of her feelings through that. Yea... I was really stupid.

 

Few seconds later, she broke the kiss and we both gasp for air, smiling. I hugged her once more.

 

"That feels so good, unnie."

 

"Byul-ah.", she inched away slightly to meet my gaze. "I love you. I love you so much, you dumbest ."

 

 

I hugged her again to hide my tears. I didn't want Yongsun-unnie to tease me being a cry-baby. 

 

"I love you too, Yongsun-unnie. I love you so so so muuuch!!", I exclaimed as I wiped my tears away.

 

As we broke the hug, I examined Yongsun-unnie's face. I really couldn't imagine that a beautiful girl like her would like me. I felt eternally grateful.

 

 

--------------------------

 

 

"So unnie, would you like something to eat?"

 

"Actually, I'm sleepy, Byul-ah. You won't mind if we share a bed, will you?", Yongsun said while smirking.

 

"Uhm uhh.. NO ha ha. Of course not."

(Moon Byulyi, get a hold of yourself. Chill, man.)

 

 

"Okay then!! Leggo.", she yelled while dragging me by my hand towards the bedroom.

 

Yongsun unnie flashed me a really bright smile, a very radiant smile that can overpower all the darkness dwelling in me. I thanked all the deities of the world for letting me have her; she who can sustain my entire life by sharing her love with me, she who can make any day brighter than the sun, she whose cheeks are fluffier than the clouds in the sky, and she whom I'll treasure every single day of the rest of my existence.

 

 

 

What happened in the bedroom was history. ;)

 

 

 

'*'*'*'*'*'*'*'*'*'*'*'*'*'*'*'*'*'*'*'*'*'*'*'*'*'*'*'*'

 

A/n: Hi guys. I'm back with this one shot.

 

About the very last part hahahaha. Nothing special really happened. Yongsun just slept and was snoring really loud which made the sleepless byul stare at her until the morning came. Hahahaha. Nah. Just kidding. I'll leave that up to your imaginations guys. ;)

 

Anyway, I'll be updating Words don't come easy before this week ends.

 

Thank you so much for reading. :">
