Clear Glass

The light from the doorway gives a glimpse to a figure inside a small room that in closer inspection of its surroundings is a bedroom consisting of a small library in the corner and a desk where in the figure is seated. There is a silhouette of a young woman hunched over an illuminating screen of a laptop. The silent night gives emphasis to the sound of tapping coming from the keyboard as the woman types fervently on the device. The clock on the wall reads two o' clock and the sound of its hands moving seem to mix well with the keyboard's like that of a mixed and synchronized beat.


Suddenly the typing of the woman slows down and in just a few minutes, completely stops as the only sound left in the otherwise silent room is that of the ticking clock. The young woman sighs contently and in relief as if whatever she was doing was finally finished. Brown locks fall loosely to her face as her messy pony tail comes loose. Her eyes, beautiful and usually compared to black pearls, are covered with a pair of glasses which disguises them effectively. Slowly she puts a hand up to her temples and rubs them off and she closes her eyes in hopes of releasing the tension in her muscles. When she opens them she shuts her laptop off but she doesn't leave from her seat.


She knows its late and that she should try to get some sleep but somehow her mind is filled with thoughts. She tells herself that they are merely thoughts but the more accurate word to describe them is flashbacks. She fingers the rim of her glasses as she ponders and almost hesitantly she takes them off as sets them on the table facing her. She looks at the frames as if they were the most interesting thing in world and the whole world around her fades as she lets her fall back into her mind.


Slouched over her study desk, Hyomin was so utterly engrossed in the novel that she was reading that she was unaware of the sudden presence of a small blonde-haired girl entering her room. Unknown to Hyomin, Sunny had decided to pay a visit to the T-ara member that day since she didn’t have any schedules and heard that the she was the only member that had the day off .As soon as she got to T-ara’s Dorm, Soyeon had told her that Hyomin was in her room and apologized as she told her she had to leave for a schedule. As the girl walked towards Hyomin’s room, she thought about how she ended up being here.
About two years ago, she had participated in a new variety show called “Invincible Youth”. It was a show where in idol girls from different idol groups experience how it is to live and survive rural life in a Korean village.


That was when she met her

Her first impression of her was that she was pretty. Of course most girl idols were, but for some reason Sunny couldn’t shake the feeling that there was something different about her. Unconsciously, she’d find herself keeping an eye on the girl.
Being a rookie, she was shy and a bit clueless to how things worked in a variety show. Sunny couldn’t help but feel bad for her and somehow tried helping her out a bit as subtle as she can. Everything changed, however when the girl had figured out that sticking to Sunny meant more camera time.


What started out as an act of pity for the girl who was nicknamed CEO (completely edited out) became the well-known Sunbyung couple with Hyomin as her folding screen. It was inevitable that with all the time spent together that they would soon become close friends.


Knocking on the door, there wasn't any response so she slid herself silently inside the room curious to see if Hyomin was asleep. When she made her way into the room she was surprised with the sight of Hyomin with her nose in a book. This wasn't what surprised her though, Hyomin(she discovered) was what you'd call a closet bookworm. Contrary to her image that portrayed her to be a bit ditzy, Hyomin was actually smarter than what most people thought.


What really surprised her was the presence of thin black rimmed glasses perked on top of the other girl's nose as she was reading. She made her way towards the bed and sat down on it never once leaving her gaze from the other girl.
Sunny was a well-spoken person. Everyone knew that. She always had a way with words, spoken or in written form. She knew that she should say something to alert the other girl of her presence. However, at the moment Sunny found that words would somehow shatter the fragile moment she had graced upon.


She was entranced. Never had she found Hyomin to be more beautiful than she was at that moment. Studying the brunette’s relaxed demeanor and the expression of passionate eagerness that lights up in her eyes, Sunny found it endearing as she tried so hard to commit the image to her memory.


Hyomin was always beautiful...especially to her...everything about the other girl amazed Sunny...but what amazes Sunny the most is that its only when the brunette girl's walls come down and her face pure of any make-up that masks her that her real beauty seeps out… and that she knows that she's damn lucky that she was one of the few people that could see her this way.
Realizing that it could be considered creepy to be staring at the other girl all this time, she finally decides to speak.


"You’re wearing glasses. Are those real or are you just using them to look cute?" she says giving emphasis to the words as she delivers them with a teasing tone.


Hyomin's unwavering attention faltered as she realizes she had company and recognizes who the owner of the voice is. She turns to find the amused gaze of brown chocolate eyes lit up with mischief.


"Sunny! what are yo-" The girl fumbles as she closes her book and tries to form a coherent sentence as embarrassed as she was for being caught off guard. She clears as she composes herself.


"Sunny, What are you doing here? and why were you sneaking in my room?"

"I knocked but you didn't hear me so I decided to come in. I was going to call your attention but you seemed quite fascinated by your book and If I had to admit.. I was quite fascinated by something as well."

"Oh, I'm sorry about that...I didn't realize. It's bad habit I guess, I usually completely zone out when I'm reading."

"I noticed. But you're ignoring my question. Are those real?”

"Oh...yah...I’ve had them for a while now. I usually wear contacts when I’m out. My eyesight isn’t that bad though, I usually only need them when I read."

"You look lovely you know...""

"What?"


"With your glasses...you look lovely...but..." Sunny trails off as she slowly makes her way to the brunette. Hyomin had been wearing a confused expression in the short talk that Sunny had instantly found cute and adorable. She really couldn't help but tease the girl. When she reaches Hyomin, she bent down until her face was merely inches away from Hyomin's. Her gaze didn't falter as she studied the intense black eyes with dilated pupils. Moving her hand to the girl’s face and never stopping the sudden starring contest between them, she slowly lifted the frames off the other girl's petite nose.


Moving closer till her breath was merely an inch away from Hyomin's lips she whispered "But it’s quite sad that they cover my most favorite part of you..." she trails of and she slowly moves her lips to the shell of the other girl's ear...

"wha-at would that be?"

"your eyes..."


Suddenly whatever spell Hyomin was in was broken as she immediately turned her gaze to meet the blonde's and after a second she feels a pair of lips smashing into hers with passion.
...
..........
.................

A moan interrupts Hyomin's thoughts as she blinks and gathers her wits realizing she spaced out.

"Hyomin? What are you doing? Come back to bed." A sleepy voice echoes from the bed as the vision of the slim figure of Sunny covered with only a thin blanket across her smooth pale skin makes its way to Hyomin's ever eager eyes.

"Yeah, I'm coming."

Hyomin didn't wear her real glasses aside from when she was home. She didn't because somehow she felt embarrassed wearing them in front of other people. But for once...she didn't really mind being seen. Not when wearing them gave her the girl she's been dreaming of for the longest time.
