EPISODE 12: Hello and Goodbye

The sun shines so bright outside the cave. Almost as it indicates also for both younsters to open their eyes.

Yoona's head was in the bag while Seohyun's are still in her lap. Unknown to them, Yoona's left was intertwined over Seohyun's right. Both are unaware. Both love the warm they're getting until both of them too realize their two hands.

Yoona immediately let go and looked away, and as for Seohyun, she get up right away and walked over outside almost like a speed of a Thunder's light.

"Otoke. What happened? why am I... wait... No. She did it? It's not a dream?" Seohyun keeps on walking back and forth outside the cave, holding her right hand. "No wait, it's just a dream. Yeah it is. But why-"

"Hey, Uh... are you Okay?"

Seohyun jumped in surprised, hisses to see Yoona behind her. 

"Are you not feeling well?" Yoona slowly approaches her but she step back. "Waeyo?"

"umm... Yoo... Yoona... ssi... " Seohyun gulped, holding her nervousness. Yes, she really did feel her kiss on her, but she wasn't sure if it was a reality or not. She remembered the feelings but she couldn't say if it was true. 

"Yes?" Yoona step forward slowly, trying to reach out for her.

"Yoona... you... I mean, how... how I ended up in your lap?" asked her, like it was the only words that came to her confuse mind.

"Uh... yeah. I'm sorry about that. You sleep so early... and... you... out balance so I need to assist you. Resting your head to my lap is the only thing I can do. Why? Did I hurt you?"

Seohyun sighed in defiance. Base from what she can see from Yoona, the latter was blushing. That means, it was indeed a real kiss. She did like me? She thought. 

"Miss... Seo..." Yoona calls out softly, noticing her silence. Seohyun snapped it out, smiled to her simply as she walked passes at her. Yoona was puzzled but later did she follow her back to the cave.

She saw her checking her camera. 

"So I really did it." Seohyun mutters with a contempt smile.

"What? did you say something?" Seohyun almost instantly tilted her head up to Yoona.

"Umm nothing... so... aren't we going back now?"

"Going back? Uh, yeah... we should." Yoona bend over and grabbed the younger's bag for her to carry. The latter closed her own bag, carried it for her instead.

"Are you sure you are going to carry that?"

Seohyun nodded in proud. "I wouldn't like to see you in difficulties for the last time. let me help you." she carried it with difficulties, so Yoona had to alert and support her for carrying it.

"Tch, just tell me if you can't carry it on, Okay?" 

Seohyun smiled. "No worries."

"Fine. So let's go?"

"But wait, I'm hungry. Kindly bring two bananas out for us?"

"Oh yeah, me too" Yoona giggles, opens her bag pack almost immediately. She then brought two bananas out insides Seohyun's bag, happily handling it to the younger who also had a bright smile accepting it from her. Yoona was all smiling watching the latter was in such a good mood.

"So let's go?" Yoona almost out balance as she found herself in a tight hold from Seohyun who had grabbed her arm and dragged her out without warning. She was more than surprise when the latter was locking her arm to hers right away.

“Uh, Mi-Miss… Seo? What… are you… “

“Let’s get this started. I’m excited!” Seohyun just couldn’t contain her self, continuously hugging Yoona’s left arm while she also eat her banana.

Yoona simply smile, allowing herself being drag in a forest where fresh air is miraculously giving the younger such a bright mood. Her smile was even brighter than the sun shine up above.

She was there only to support as well as they walk back to their pathway.

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

Yoona’s POV

After like I think half an hour, I and Seohyun finally had the view of some staffs that provides the camp sites all over the mountain. It was such an exhaust journey as we laid our back against a tree nearby our hotel. But honestly? It’s much exhaust if I am climbing down the mountain without her.

You read it. Seohyun. My celebrity crush that I have no idea why on such matter she was so enjoying having me here by her side.

Her bright mood was surprisingly undeniable. And I have to say, it was so good to see her like that.

I thought she’ll not consider my bright mood as well, but whoa! I don’t know what was with her that throughout our journey down, she was hugging my arm, she was conversing to me so brightly, and moreover, her sweet smiles, her pinching on my cheeks were just too unexpected.

And no matter how I tried not to deny it, I’ll always find myself fluttering and blushing to every actions she is showing to me.

Such a cute girl.

“Aigoo.” I smiled to myself, remembering the entire journey I had with her. The girl beside me who was also drinking her water. Her sweats are all over her face which I had to wiped in concern on how uncare she was.

“Thank You.” she said in a small voice, grabbing the handkerchief I used.

I looked at her with a smile.”No problem.”

Then she did looked at me again giving an empty battle already. Suddenly the wind blows, messing our hair in process. I did is only to fix mine but much to my surprise, I felt another hand fixing my hair.

“The wind is cold. Will it be another rain?” she asked me but I was lost as I only nodded. Ugh, seriously this girl has been so unpredictable. Earlier, she carry my bag, she wiped my sweat in the middle of the forest, she also brought a tiny yellow flower for me and most especially, she keeps on talking about her future plans after this.

“I’m afraid I can’t go back home early.” 

She was pouting. Maybe it saddens her.

“No worries Miss Seo. I’ll drop you home. Is it alright?”

“You do know my home?” she was surprise.

“Eh? Uh…” and it snapped me. Yes I do know because of my constant research of her address. Yeah, before I forgot. I did know it which I haven’t shared from her. “Ummm… of-of course… it flashes in the television when your home was featured?” so I lied.

“Did a network show it?”

“Umm, yeah. I think you miss it?” Oh gosh. Her comes her stare on me. She was confuse or rather trying to remember anything.

Not long after, she smiled a little. “I guess it was feature. Oh well, do you really want to drop me?”

I nodded enthusiastically. “Why not?”

“I was just… surprise.” she giggles. “Okay. I’ll be anticipating then?”

“Hehe… “ I awkwardly smiled to her and looked away immediately.

“But Yoona-ssi… do you really do want? You might have to do something after we arrive?” she asked, quite concerned. Her eyes are somehow giving me insurance.

“Yup. I think I will just lie down the moment we arrive.”

“O-Okay… “ she looked away and smile to the great view of mountains before us. I followed and took my battle of water yet again.

“I love this day so much.”

“Me too.”

“Do you know why?”

“Hmm?”

“Because of you.”

I just look at her dumbfounded. Really! I don’t get why she always said that to me. does she knows my feelings for her, or what? because if so, I don’t think it’s really right. But if she does, would’ve confronted me or something. She would’ve avoid me.

When she heard nothing from me, she moves closer as her eyes were still in the mountains before us. “Yoona-ssi… I actually wanted to ask something. Is it alright?”

“Sure. Go ahead.” I simply mutter.

“Umm… what… what-was… with me that you-you… like-I mean, idolize me? out from other celebrities?” she stutters, much to my surprise. she’s still can’t barge to look at me while I am watching her side profile.

I smile a little and answered her, “Honestly? Except from your skills being an actress and singer, I like your personality.”

Seohyun chuckles hearing my serious response, finally had her eyes on me. “Really?”

“Uh… why?” I was puzzled, giggling.

“Normally people would say they idolize me because I am pretty and… that, they were inspired to be prettier than me?”

“So it-“

“You’re exceptional.” She praises, staring back to the view ahead to us again. But it didn’t last long as she stood up.

“I’m hungry again, I think it’s lunch time?”

My stomach suddenly feels groaning upon hearing her offer me. And so I happily accepted her hand on me as I get up. We search for any restaurant around, and thankfully, there was this small restaurant. Again, she lock her arms on me as we entered the small restaurant.

For the nth time, eyes were on us the moment we entered the restaurant and sat down in an empty table.

“Was that her, Miss Seo Joohyun?”

“Omg! She’s so pretty in reality!”

“I wonder who’s with her?”

“Oh gosh. I really want to touch her hand somehow.”

“Me too. Her hand are I think so soft.”

“Quick, take some pictures.”

I sigh as I heard it. It’s worst than I had heard from the camp we gone into. Maybe because some of the campers were focus of having fun than to see a celebrity.

Sigh.

 My two hands makes way to me face and covered from the continuous flashes of camera here and there. I’m a photographer, but I don’t like to be the one to be caught like they are doing to us.

“Hey, what’s wrong?” But surprisingly, Miss Seo doesn’t care. She took my hand off of my face instead.

“Your fans. It’s quite, uneasy for me.” I whispered, lowering my head a little. I heard her giggle as I felt her finger on my chin too. She made me looked up to her.

“You don’t need to do it. I think it should be me.” she giggles, correcting my words.

“But I know you were already use to this. But How can I pretend that I like what they’re doing to us?” I whispered back.

“You know what? you change.” she answered me different instead.

“Change?”

“Yeah, because… you seemed… to know how to be serious, now?”

“Ugh! Forget about it.” I shrug her and just motioned her to order any food already.

“But seriously. You did. In a… good way of course.” She giggles and comply, ordering her own. I was once again dumfounded after hearing her said that to me. did i? really? But I’m still the bubbly girl. am i? oh well.

Sigh.

“Hmm… ramen?”

“Ramen?” and yet again, this girl are getting so strange. For how many times will she eat ramen?

“Yes.
