** Flashback - Part 2**

Tell Me

The next day, at the Kwon’s residence

“RING! RING! RING!”

“Urghhh.. who the hell is calling me at this early, huh?”, Yuri groaned while pulling the cover down. He slowly opened his eyes while looking at the alarm clock. “You’ve got to be kidding me! It’s 5:00 in the morning for god’s sake!”, he mumbled as he took his phone from the side table.

“Yoboseyo?”, he weakly answered the call.

“Yah! Kwon Yuri! You better come here and take Yoona home. She’d been crying the whole night! I can’t sleep at all because of her! I need to go to work too, you fool!”, a familiar voice yelled over the line, causing Yuri to pull the phone away from his ear.

“Haishh.. can’t you see what time it is now, Sica? It’s still early in the morning, for god’s sake!”, Yuri grunted.

“What the.. yah! You told me yesterday to call you if she acted beyond her sanity. Indeed she acted like one. I need to sleep too!”, Jessica snapped. Yuri sighed.

“Arasso, arasso. I’ll be there soon”, he said as he ended the conversation.

“You better, Kwon Yuri, or else, I won’t help you anymore”, Jessica sternly said before she ended the call.

“Haishh.. why can’t these girls let me live in peace?”, he grunted while ruffling his hair. He immediately got up from the bed, heading to the bathroom to take a shower.

After taking a shower and get dressed, he took his backpack guitar case, and went out of his room. He headed to downstairs, passing by the kitchen without noticed that his mother was there.

“Yul, it’s still early. Where are you going?”, Mrs. Kwon asked while walking towards him.

“Oh, good morning, mom! I’m going to meet my friend. She kinda need a help”, Yuri said as he walked to the main door.

“What happened to your friend? Is she in trouble?”, his mother asked in concern.

“Ermm.. y-yeah. She’s actually didn’t bring her car, so she asked my help to pick her up somewhere”, he said as to give reason. Mrs. Kwon just nodded her head as she believed on what Yuri has told her.

“Don’t you want to have a breakfast first, sweetie?”, his mother asked.

“It’s okay, mom. I need to hurry”, Yuri replied while putting on his shoes.

“Alright, drive safely, okay?”, Mrs. Kwon said.

“I will. Goodbye, mom!”, Yuri replied while kissing her cheek before he went to his car.

“Haishh.. Im Yoona..”, Yuri mumbled. He then started the car’s engine and slowly drove away from the house.

At Jessica’s apartment building

“DING! DONG! DING! DONG!”

Yuri pressed the doorbell several times.

“Yah! Kwon Yuri! Stop abusing my doorbell!”, Jessica shouted from inside. Yuri just chuckled. A few seconds later, the door swung opened. Jessica put her hand on her hips while giving her famous icy stare at him. Yuri just giggled while looking at her pissed face.

“Sica, I think you used to live at the jungle before with Tarzan and Jane. Just stop yelling and shouting, will you? Geez!”, Yuri said gigglingly.

“It’s not funny, Yul”, she said sternly while crossing her arms.

“Where’s your patient?”, he asked soon after he entered inside. Jessica then closed the door, and both of them headed to the living room.

“She’s still sleeping”, she said as she slumped herself on the couch. She looked exhausted with dark circles under her both eyes.

“I’m sorry for causing you trouble, Sica. I thought she will be okay after she met you. I never thought it would turn the other way around”, Yuri said as he smiled apologetically.

“Yeah, because of her, I have to cancel an appointment with my client this morning”, she said.

“I’m sorry, okay?”, Yuri apologized again.

“It’s okay, Yul. Anyway, I managed to talk to her yesterday about her problems. She seemed like slowly could get over it. But, I don’t know what will happen in the future as I’m afraid she will tend to repeat the same action. So, I suggest if you can find her close friends or relatives that she can stay with. By that I mean, someone need to watch over her. She can’t be left alone”, Jessica explained.

“B-but.. I thought she will stay with you..”, Yuri was about to continue his words when suddenly Jessica cut him off.

“I can’t, Yul. Besides, I’m working, and I have my own clinic to look after too. By that I mean, someone who could watch over her 24 hours. I can’t do that!”, Jessica said.

“Haishh…”, Yuri sighed heavily while scratching his head. He leaned his back on the couch with his one arm on his forehead, thinking of how to find a solution for Jessica’s suggestion.

“Alright!”, he said as he sat up straight. “I need to ask her first. But, what if she hesitate to follow on what you’ve suggested? Do you think we should bring her to see the psychiatrist?”, he asked.

“I’m not crazy that you need to bring me to see the psychiatrist!”, a voice suddenly snapped which made both Jessica and Yuri startled, and immediately turned to look at the owner of the voice. They were surprised to see Yoona was standing not far from the couch with her yesterday’s clothes.

“Y-yoona ssi, it’s not what Yuri..”, Jessica was about to continue to speak when suddenly she cut her off.

“I’m sorry for troubling you two. I know how to handle myself. Thank you so much Jessica ssi for letting me stay at your place. I’ll pay back for what you’ve done. I’m leaving now”, Yoona said as she bowed. She didn’t look at Yuri at all. Yuri could sense that she’s angry at him because of what he had said just now. Yoona then headed to the door. Jessica and Yuri quickly got up from the couch and walked towards Yoona.

“Yoona ssi.. wait!”, Jessica said as she managed to grab her arm. Yoona then stopped walking, and stood still. She didn’t look at them at all as she was in a state of anger.

“Yoona, listen. I’m sorry if my words hurt your feeling just now. I didn’t mean it. I just worried about you”, Yuri said as he felt guilty. Yoona just kept silent.

“Yoona ssi. Yuri was right, he didn’t mean to hurt your feeling. We just worried about your condition right now. You need someone to look after..”, Jessica’s words being cut off again by Yoona.

“You don’t have to worry, Jessica ssi. I’m fine now, and I promise I won’t do anything stupid after this. I know how to take care myself”, she said as she smiled bitterly.

“Arasso. But, please, at least let Yuri send you home. By that we know that you will arrive home safely”, Jessica replied. Yoona then let out a sigh. She was actually didn’t want to be together with Yuri because she still felt hurt with his words just now. But because she didn’t want to be an ungrateful person after what Jessica had done to her, she just complied.

“Okay”, she replied nonchalant. She then pulled the door knob, and walked out of the apartment.

“Alright, Sica. Thanks for everything. I’ll see you later”, Yuri said while standing at the doorstep.

“You’re welcome, Yul. Drive carefully, okay?”, Jessica replied. Yuri just raised his two fingers, making a peace sign.

“Thank you Jessica ssi”, Yoona said as she bowed slightly at her.

“You’re welcome, Yoona ssi. Please take a good care of yourself, okay? Just call me if you need someone to talk to”, Jessica replied with a smile. Yoona just nodded her head in return. Yuri waved his hand at Jessica, and slowly headed to the elevator, followed by Yoona from the back.

He then led Yoona to enter inside the elevator first. Both of them were silent until the elevator reached the ground floor. He let Yoona went out first before he walked out of the elevator. Yuri was about to call Yoona when she suddenly stopped walking, and turned to face Yuri.

“You don’t have to send me home. I’ll go by myself. Th.. thank you for saving me”, she said as she bowed with a faint smile. Yoona was about to walk when suddenly Yuri grabbed her wrist, and makes her startled.

“Yoona, please. I know you’re still mad at me. I’m sorry, okay? Please, let me send you home. I would feel bad if I let you go by yourself. Please..”, Yuri begged. Yoona was silent for a while. She then slowly let out a sigh.

“Alright”, that’s the only word that came out from . She quickly released her wrist from Yuri’s hand.

“Sorry”, Yuri muttered. He then quickly opened the car’s door, and let Yoona went inside. Yuri slowly closed the door, and rushed to the driver’s side and quickly slide inside. He then started the car’s engine, and immediately drove away from Jessica’s apartment building.

40 minutes later, in front of Yoona’s apartment building

After driving for about 40 minutes, finally they arrived in front of Yoona’s apartment building. None of them uttered any single words along the way except when Yuri asked Yoona about the direction to her place.

“Alright, we’re here”, Yuri said as soon as he stopped the car. Yoona then immediately unbuckled her seatbelt, but she failed to do so as it got stuck.

“Let me help you”, Yuri said while trying to unbuckle the seatbelt. Yoona just sat still while watching Yuri tried to unbuckle the seatbelt. She didn’t know why, but she suddenly felt her heart beats fast the moment Yuri leaned his body closer to her.

“Alright, it’s done”, Yuri said.

“T-thanks”, Yoona thanked him. Yuri just smiled in return.

“Do you want me to send you to your apartment?”, Yuri asked.

“No, it.. it’s okay. Thanks once again”, Yoona replied as she immediately opened the car’s door and went out of it. Yuri also went out of his car, and rushed towards Yoona. He then grabbed Yoona’s hand, and placed his name card on her palm.

“Here, just call me if you need someone to talk to, besides Jessica.. heheh..”, Yuri said as he chuckled awkwardly. Yoona just nodded her head while still staring at the name card on her palm.

“Oo.. okay.. I need to go now”, Yoona said hesitantly as she immediately walked to the building’s main entrance.

“Y-yoona.. wait!”, Yuri called her, but the latter was already disappeared from his sight. “Haishh.. how can I forget to ask her phone number? Stupid Yuri!”, he mumbled as he smacked on his forehead. He then slowly walking back to his car, and quickly slide himself inside before he drove away from the building. Without Yuri realized, Yoona was hiding behind the wall next to the main entrance, watching Yuri’s car slowly leaving her place.

“Hmm..”, she sighed softly while glancing at Yuri’s name card that was still on her palm.

Later on that morning, at The Star Agency building

Yuri arrived in front of the office building where his besties, Sooyoung and Taeyeon were working. He wanted them to have the pre-hearing about his almost completed song composition for their upcoming CF project while having discussion about the concept. He parked his car in front of the building foyer.

“Good morning, Eunji!”, Yuri greeted to Sooyoung’s personal assistant soon as he entered the office.

“Hey, good morning Yul oppa!”, Eunji immediately stood up from her chair, and greeted him back excitedly. “It’s been awhile since you’re not coming here. Where have you been?”, she asked. Eunji always excited whenever Yuri came to their office. She’s kind of having a crush on Yuri ever since she knew him. But, Yuri didn’t notice about it at all as his passion and dedication only on his work.

Yuri had never have a girlfriend before although he had a good looking, and plus he came from a wealthy family. Girls often threw themselves up at him, but he’s not interested as like what he told his besties, he will not easily falling in love with any woman until he will found his soulmate. It’s not that he had any bad experience in his love life, he’s just not interested to have one like his besties. Because, he thought that his besties girlfriends were also his best friends, that’s why he easily got acquainted with Jessica and Taeyeon’s girlfriend when they introduced them to him for the first time.

“Oh, I was in the middle of completing the new project which your bosses had given to me”, he replied. “Is he in?”, he asked.

“Yes, Sooyoung oppa is with Taeyeon oppa, they’re in the middle of having a discussion”, Eunji replied smilingly. Eunji, or Jung Eunji is actually Jessica’s cousin, that’s why she called Sooyoung and Taeyeon ‘oppa’. Jessica is quite a possessive and an easily got jealous girlfriend since her boyfriend is working in the entertainment world, so, she asked Sooyoung to appoint her cousin as his personal assistant, so that the cousin of hers could monitor and reported to her if her boyfriend will do anything stupid behind her back.. LOL!

“Alright, I’ll go straight to his room. Thanks, Eunji”, Yuri said while flashing his charming smile which made Eunji’s heart melted.

“O-okay”, she stuttered while watching Yuri walking towards her boss’s room.

“KNOCK! KNOCK!”

“Come in!”, a voice shouted from inside. Yuri immediately pulled the door knob, and entered inside.

“Good morning buddies!”, Yuri greeted his besties soon after he entered inside the room

“Hey, Yul! Come on in. We’re just talking about you”, Sooyoung said as he got up from the couch.

“Hey, buddy!”, Taeyeon said as he gave Yuri a hug, and patted on his back. Yuri returned the hug.

“What are you guys talking behind my back, huh?”, Yuri asked as he released the hug and then walked towards Sooyoung to give him a hug. Sooyoung returned the hug while ruffling his friend’s hair into messy.

“Yah! Don’t touch my hair!”, Yuri exclaimed as he immediately released the hug and fixing his messy hair. Sooyoung and Taeyeon just laughed while looking at him amusingly. Yuri was so possessive with his black and silky hair, that’s why Sooyoung and Taeyeon liked to . That’s how they are since their college time.

“Sorry, buddy. So, what have you got so far?” Sooyoung asked as he sat back on the couch, followed by Taeyeon and Yuri.

“I was almost 95 percent completing my work, until.. you know..”, Yuri replied as he leaned his back on the couch.

“Oh, yeah. Talking about that, how’s the girl that you saved yesterday? Sica told me that she didn’t get enough sleep because of that girl”, Sooyoung asked in curious.

“Who’s girl?”, Taeyeon asked as he’s a bit left out.

“Sooyoung didn’t tell you anything?”, Yuri asked him back as he furrowed his brows.

“Yah! Why are you didn’t tell me anything?”, Taeyeon snapped as he smacked on Sooyoung’s arm.

“Oww..! I did, though! You’re busy talking lovey dovey with your pink princess on the phone at that time, that’s why you didn’t hear me clearly”, Sooyoung exclaimed.

“Am I? Oh, sorry.. heheh..”, Taeyeon chuckled nervously which earning a sharp glare from Sooyoung.

“Cut it out, you guys! She’s fine, I guess. I sent her back to her place this morning before I came here”, Yuri said as he sat up straight.

“So, did you happen to know that girl?”, Sooyoung asked again as he’s interested to know more about the girl, rather than their work. LOL!

“Huh? Sica didn’t tell you?”, Yuri asked in surprise.

“Nope. She never told me anything about her. She said when it involves her client’s case, it’s confidential”, Sooyoung replied.

“Well, since she said that, that means same goes with me. It will violate her work ethics, you know”, Yuri innocently said.

“Yah! She’s not even her client, though! She’s just a random girl that you’d saved and brought her to my girlfriend’s place for shelter!”, Sooyoung exclaimed.

“Geez! Just calm down, you silly!”, Taeyeon said annoyingly.

“Whatever it is, shikshin, I can’t reveal who she is. All I can say is she’s a somebody, that’s all. I’m afraid if this news spread out, Jessica will kill me, and that girl will repeat the same thing like what she did on yesterday. We don’t want that to happen again”, Yuri explained.

“You’ve got a point there, buddy”, Taeyeon said.

“Arasso, arasso. Alright, let’s get back to work”, Sooyoung said. The three of them then continued to have their discussion.

Meanwhile, at the same time at Yoona’s apartment

“Haishh..”, Yoona sighed as she dragged her heavy feet to the door of her apartment. She was about to open the door when suddenly the door slowly swung opened.

“B-babe.. you’re back! I’ve been looking for your since yesterday!”, the person exclaimed while dashing forward to hug her. Yoona quickly stepped back, and…

“SLAP!”

“How dare you come to here again! I told you to get out of here!”, she yelled. The person was shocked.

“Y-yoong.. I..”, the person stuttered.

“I said get out from here, Taec! I don’t want to see your face ever again, you cheater!”, she yelled again.

“Heh? I’m a cheater? What about you, huh? You slept with countless of men..”, Taecyeon, Yoona’s ex-boyfriend said sarcastically, and was about to continue his words when suddenly..

“SLAP!”

“You !”, Taecyeon exclaimed while grabbing her wrist harshly. He was about to slap Yoona on her face when suddenly got interrupted by someone.

“Excuse me, Ms. Im, is there anything wrong here?”, the security guard asked soon after he approached them.

“N-nothing’s wrong, Mr. Lee”, Yoona replied while stuttering. Mr. Lee, the security guard then looking at Yoona’s hand and Taecyeon back and forth suspiciously.

“You’re lucky this time, Im Yoona. I’ll get you back”, Taecyeon leaned closer to her ear, and whispered with a smirk. Yoona tried to fight her urge to slap him again since the security guard was there. Taecyeon slowly released her hand from his grip, and glared at Mr. Lee. He immediately left them, heading to the elevator. Yoona then slowly collapse on the floor.

“Ms. Im, Ms. Im, are you okay?”, Mr. Lee frantically asked while grabbing on Yoona’s shoulder. Yoona suddenly fainted. “Oh, lord, what should I do?”, he said while looking at Yoona who was lying motionless on the floor. He then noticed a name card on the floor near Yoona’s hand. He quickly took out his mobile phone from the pants pocket, and dialled the number.

“Yoboseyo?”, he said soon after the call answered.

“Err.. are you Mr. Kwon Yuri?”, Mr. Lee asked.

Back to The Star Agency building

“Yes, I’m Kwon Yuri”, Yuri said. He was still in Sooyoung’s office room.

“Sorry to disturb you, Mr. Kwon. Are you Ms. Im’s friend?”, Mr. Lee asked.

“Ms. Im? Ms. Im who?”, he replied in confuse state.

“Ms. Im Yoona”, Mr. Lee said.

“Oh, yes.. yes.. I’m her friend. Can I know who’s this?”, Yuri asked.

“ I’m Lee, the security guard at Ms. Im’s apartment building. Can you please come here? Ms. Im suddenly collapse and fainted”, he replied.

“Mwoh?”
