Byulyi wasn't dumb. She had an IQ of 144 for screaming out loud. But somehow that hadn't prepared her to deal with real life social situations. She could blame her lack of social skills for almost all of her previous break ups. Not that there were that many to begin with. 

But she was definitely not ready for a phone confession from a woman who she definitely liked. Usually it was her taking the initiative, this time she was caught off guard. She was someone who planned such things to the T. So yea she was definitely not ready for this.

A brief moment of silence. 

The sun was setting and it was getting cooler, Yongsun was still as a statue till she shivered a bit at the falling mercury levels. 

"So that's a yes?"

Byulyi nodded. She giggled as she saw Yongsun punch the air. She was always cute but this was especially endearing.
