Baby Good Night [GD&TOP]

"O...Ouch! O-Ouch!" Ji Yong cringed in pain.

"Yah! Stop moving! If not, how am I suppose to be treating your wound?!" Yoona stopped applying the medicine on his lips and pouted at him.

"But it's really painful! Can't we just let it heal on its own?" Ji Yong uses his tongue to push the corner of his lips out.

"That will take forever. So, please stop moving now. Serves you right." Yoona continue to clean his wounds and finally, pressing a bandage down on his wound hard. "Done!" She clapped her hands together, keeping the first-aid kit.

"Yah! What's that for?!!!" Ji Yong groaned in pain at the final ''blow''.

"This teaches you not to get into fights anymore!" She stucked her tongue out playfully, turning around to keep her first-aid kit. 

"Chinjia. I wonder why am I befriending such a violent girl. I think in this whole wide world, you're the only girl that uses violence on me. The rest of the girls would go crazy upon seeing my wound. They would definitely treat it GENTLY. And here you are, making me in pain. You really don't know how blissful you are to be able to treat my wound, Im Yoona~" Ji Yong touched his wound and smirked.

"Yeah Yeah. Then go ahead and find the others~ Let them treat you with love and CARE." Yoona replied nonchalantly. "You're always so full of yourself~"

"That's because I have the qualities anyway. And, how many times must I say. This is not pride. This is confidence." Ji Yong said proudly as he crossed his legs, resting his arm comfortably on Yoona's couch.

"Hmmm. If only Seung Hyun Oppa could have the confidence like you~" Yoona mumbled to herself as she joined Ji Yong on the couch.

"Mwuh?"

-----

"Who is Seung Hyun? And why are you calling him Oppa? I thought so far, you only called me and Young Bae, Oppa? Since when do you have another Oppa, Im Yoona?" I immediately looked at Yoona when I heard what she was saying.

Oh right! That's what I'm suppose to be telling you! I almost forgot!" She clapped her hands together, forming an 'O-shape' with .

"Hmmm. I think you got some explainations to do too. I thought someone promised to only call me Oppa. But then, as year goes by, Young Bae became an Oppa too, then LeeTeuk... Then Taecyeon... I thought that after Taecyeon is gone, there will only be me and Young Bae left. Who knows there is another Seung Hyun guy that appear. Hmmm. How creditable is your words, Im Yoona~" I folded my arms across my chest and spoke with jealousy.

"Yah yah. Are you jealous? You aren't that great yourself either. When LeeTeuk Oppa said that he will marry me when we grow up, you totally beat the hell out of him, chasing him away." She challenged me back and smirked.

"O...Of course I'm not jealous! Come on, that LeeTeuk is a bad guy! I'm just doing you a favour. If he back away just like that, it means that he doesn't love you as much as he claimed. So, it's better off without this kind of guy that only knows how to talk~" I explained to her.

"Oh well, if you insist. Actually, I can still continue with Taecyeon Oppa's incident. But, I guess I should give it a rest~ I'm afraid that you will be lost for words." She hugged the pillow tightly to her chest and rest her head on top of it. 

"Yah. What about that? You know I had never lost to you in debate, Im Yoona~"

"That's because I ALWAYS let you. Just to save you some face." She stuck her tongue out playfully at me. "Araso. Since you want to challenge me, then I have no choice but to accept it. How about Taecyeon Oppa? He didn't ran away when you beat him up. He even got into a fight because of me. I seriously thought I would last with him you know. But SOMEONE just went to tell him that I can only be his bride and I already accepted his proposal. And we are getting married right after we finish our high school! This is ridiculous." She pouted.

"As for Taecyeon, he just isn't the right one for you. I'm protecting you. He has the looks of a casanova seriously. I don't want you to come crying to me when he broke up with you. I did that just to chase him away and I succeeded just like that. This shows that he doesn't have marriage in his mind at all. I bet you don't want to be a girl who would never get a chance to put on a wedding dress right?" I waved my finger at her to rebut her points

"But we are only in high school now! Who would think so far seriously!? Ha! Taecyeon Oppa, a casanova? Look who is talking, Kwon Ji Yong~ The number of girlfriends you change in a year is even more than the numbers of my fingers and toes~" She laughed hysterically.

"Yah! I'm just trying to find the right person for me! So, of course I have to experiment out. Didn't you know that Thomas Edison had conducted lots of failed experiments before he actually invented the lightbulb? I'm just following his theory~" 

"I knew it. You and your ridiculous reasonings. That time you told me about Eienstein. And this time, it is Thomas Edison. How many more noble people are you going to bring up to conceal your casanova behaviour?" She chuckled.

"Yah. I'm stating the facts alrights. Don't you want your best friend to find the right girl too? And besides, I didn't hurt those girls anyway. We all had a peaceful breakup. No harm done."

"Araso araso. You're the most gentlemanly guy in the entire universe~ I'm so proud to have you as my best friend, the NOBLE Mr Kwon Ji Yong~" She laughed sarcastically. "So now, do you wanna hear my story or not?" 

------

Hence, Yoona started telling him whatever that had happen during lunch. Ji Yong listened to her intently as he noticed that her eyes sparkle with amazement when Seung Hyun was mentioned. He doesn't know why but just by hearing Yoona's story, he already didn't have a good feeling about this Seung Hyun guy. His heart felt sour upon hearing Yoona singing full of praises about him.

"Yups. So, that's about it. Mianhae Oppa... I caused you guys to worry about me.. I was so engrossed that I didn't notice my phone ring..."

Ji Yong gave Yoona a knock on her forehead and frown.

"Ouch! What's that for!" Yoona pouted as she rubbed her forehead.

"You also know that it's painful? Pabo! How could you stand against that bastard all alone! What happens if he really did chase after you? Do you know that you are putting yourself into danger!?" Ji Yong frowned.

"Araso araso. Calm down~ I'm safe and sound aren't I? But you aren't..." Yoona pouted. "Oppa, seriously, no more fighting next time. Araso?"

"I can't assure that if you go missing like today again."

"I promise that I won't go missing like today again. Alrights? Pinky promise." Yoona smiled and stretched out her pinky.

"Aishh~ Not this again~ We are all grown up already!" Ji Yong groaned.

<<< FLASHBACKS >>>

"Yoona ah. Next time, no matter what happens, you must let me know. I don't want to see you hiding in a corner, crying to yourself anymore. Araso?" Young Ji Yong was sitting by the river with little Yoona.

"N..Neh... Kamsahaminda Ji Yong Oppa..." Yoona sobbed. "But Yoona wants Oppa to promise something too..."

"Mwuh? If we ever quarrellled with each other, let's not quarrel for more than a day ok? Yoona cannot live without Oppa... Yoona already lost Appa and Umma... Yoona cannot lose Ji Yong Oppa too..." Yoona's eyes filled with tears again. 

"Omo. Don't start crying again!" Ji Yong immediately wiped off Yoona's tears before it even reaches her chin. "I promise. Even if the sky falls down, I won't forsake you. You have my words." Ji Yong ruffled Yoona's hair.

"Pinky promise?" Yoona looked up at Ji Yong and stretched out her little pinky. 

"Promise." Ji Yong broke into a smile as he hooked his pinky with hers too and shook it.

<<< END OF FLASHBACKS >>>

"Promise." Ji Yong Oppa, like always, hook his pinky with mine. He always does that no matter how much he grumbles. That's our promise.

"Oppa, you really got to meet Seung Hyun-sshi. He is a really nice person!" Instead of calling Seung Hyun Oppa, I called Seung Hyun-sshi. I don't want Ji Yong Oppa to misunderstand that I'm really close with him.

"Oh. Chinjia? I see..." He just nodded. He doesn't seems to be interested in him. Looks like I'm really boring him out...

"Oppa, aren't you going to the club today? A day of cooling is over. Time to go out to carry out some experiments again rights?" I quickly diverted the topic of Seung Hyun Oppa, fearing that I would agitate him further.

"Yah. Do I really look like a casanova to you?"

-----

"Yah. Do I really look like a casanova to you?" I asked her. Is she chasing me out of her house now? Omo. Why do I sound so frustrated?

"O...Of course not! It's just that you always love to have some fun at night..." She immediately become flustered upon hearing my cold tone.

"Mianhae... It's just... I'm a little under the weather today..." I apologised upon seeing her expression. I always felt guilty when I see her apologetic expression.

"Anniyo. Gwenchana? Do you need to go to the hospital? Are you hurt somewhere else?" She immediately touched my forehead, asking worriedly.

"Gwenchana... I think I just need some rest...."

"Hmmm. Then why are you still sitting here for!? Hurry up and get home! Go catch a warm bath and sleep early! Bbali!" She pulled me up from the couch, hurrying me out of the house. "Don't call me tonight already. Just rest well, alrights?" I stood outside the door as she bid me goodbye. Well, actually, we have a habit of talking on the phone every night before she fell asleep. I only go to club after she had fallen asleep. I guess, that's why alot of people in school thought that we are a couple.

"You can fall asleep without hearing my charming voice?" I smirked.

"Yah! Of course I can! Sometimes, you even forget to call anyway.. When you are TOO occupied with your 'experiements'." She pouted. Ahhhh. She made me felt guilty again. Sometimes, I really think that I'm a bad friend. I have to admit that I tend to neglect her when I met someone new... But that's what best friends are for right?

"Come on~ Don't talk till as if I'm some kind of ungrateful person! Araso araso. You had a long day too. Catch a bath and get some sleep! No more organizing of events or studying tonight." I lectured her. She always burn midnight oil to rush out some projects or she can simply just revise her work without even knowing that the time is already 3AM in the morning.

"But..."

"I'll tell Young Bae to plan the schedule himself for this year's annual ball. He is the student council president. He is so lucky to have such a hardworking secretary like you that does all the work for him, so that he could have time to go for dates. You even helped him find his girlfriend. Such a kind-hearted secretary you are~" I interrupted her before she even finish her sentence. I know what she is going to say anyway. She is always putting herself in front of others.

"That's because the VICE-president aren't contributing anything too. He is just enjoying the fame~" She chuckled. Right. Did I mention before? I'm the vice-president of the student council. Actually, I was elected to be the president. But I wasn't interested in such things so I pushed the work to Young Bae. There are two vices. Initially, there was only one. But after I know that Changmin got into the council in order to get closer to Yoona, I decided to be in it too. To protect her. So, we ended up having two vices because none of us want to take a step back.

"Ahhh. See you tomorrow~!" I pretended to yawn to avoid that topic. "I'll come and fetch you tomorrow again. Ok?"

"There you go again~ Hahaha. Araso araso. Goodnight Oppa~" She hugged me goodbye.

"Nights my alligator Yoong~" I chuckled as I called her the nickname that I gave to her. That's because when she laugh, she always opens so big like an alligator.

"Yah! Kwon Ji Yong!" And like always, I got hit because of that.

-----

After sending Ji Yong off, Yoona smiled and headed to bath. Ji Yong never fails to put a smile on her face. He really meant alot in her life. She never want to live without him. To put it in a crude manner, perhaps, she is dependent on him. She really loves him alot. Things had always been awesome between the both of them. In fact, the chemistry between them, their intimacy, always gets people misunderstanding that they are a couple, if not for the fact that Ji Yong had lots of relationships. It didn't bother them at first. But as Yoona grows older, she began to wish that all those rumors are true. It would be perfect if Ji Yong is really her boyfriend. But of course, Ji Yong only treated her as a dongsaeng and a best friend of him besides Young Bae. But as long as she is beside him, she is contented already...

On the other hand, Seung Hyun is pacing to and fro in his room, holding on to his phone, with Yoona's number reflected on his screen. He had been staring at that for more than an hour already. He had exchanged number with Yoona just now before they parted. He hesistated. Should he call or not? Everytime he wanted to press the dial button, he held back again. After doing that numerous time, he still didn't have the guts to call her.

"HYUNG!" Daesung barged into Seung Hyun's room and laid onto his bed.

"Yah yah! You are getting more and more ridiculous, young man. Shouldn't you at least knock?! I'm your Hyung!" Seung Hyun glared at Daesung.

"Come on Hyung~ We are brothers for so long already! Cut the act~ So, what are you thinking about? I saw you staring at your phone for like ever. You look like you're about to choke." Daesung chuckled.

"A...Anniyo! Just go to sleep. Didn't you have school tomorrow?" Seung Hyun quickly hide his phone behind his back.

"Hyung, what's that on your window?" Daesung pointed his finger towards outside.

"Mwuh?" Seung Hyun didn't pay attention and turned his back.

"Ahhh! A GIRL'S NUMBER!!! Mwuh? YOONA?!!! Omomomomo! Is this Yoona, your childhood sweetheart, Im Yoona?!!" Daesung, taking advantage of this chance, quickly took the phone from Seung Hyun and saw what's on the screen.

"Yah! Choi Daesung! GIVE ME BACK!!!" Seung Hyun shouted at his brother upon knowing that he was being tricked. Again. He is always being tricked by his two witty brothers.

"Just call her!! And how do you get her phone number? What on earth happen? Is she the reason why you came back with this kind of style? How could you hide all these from me Hyung!!" Daesung ran around the room like a kid to avoid Seung Hyun's catch.

"Yah! Just give me back alrights!" Seung Hyun shouted desperately.

"Hmmm. Araso araso~ Here~" Daesung threw the phone back to Seung Hyun.

Seung Hyun caught hold of the phone and felt like suffocating. That idiot Daesung. He actually dialled Yoona's number and the call was through!!! GOSH!

-----

"Thank me for that, Hyung~" That idiot smirked and left the room before I can caught hold of him. That guy is soo dead.

"Yubbosaeyo? Yubbosaeyo?" Right. Yoona is on the other line!

"N...Neh!" I immediately stuttered.

"Oh! Seung Hyun Oppa! Annyeonghaesaeyo!" Ahhh. Whatever that had happen just now is not a dream afterall. She really DID call me oppa...

"Oppa? Are you still here?"

"N..Neh!" I quickly snapped out of my thoughts. "Why...Why do you call me?" ! What did I just say?!!!

"Hahaha! Aigoo~ Oppa! You're so funny! You're the one who called me!" She broke into peals of laughter.

Damn. Why are you always screwing yourself up in front of her, Choi Seung Hyun?!!

----

"Why...Why do you call me?" He stuttered.

"Hahaha! Aigoo~ Oppa! You're so funny! You're the one who called me!" I couldn't help but broke into laughters. He is so funny! He is acting so shy and awkward.

"O..Oh right! Hahaha. I forgot..." He chuckled nervously.

"So, why do you call me, Oppa?" I laughed as I tried to calm him down.

"Oh... Nothing... Just to check... Er... If you have returned home safely..." From his tone of voice, I think he means it. What a gentleman he is.

"Of course~ Safe and sound. How about you, Oppa?" I spoke to him while drying my hair.

"Yeahs. It's getting late... Aren't you sleeping?" Hmm. He is warming himself up already.

"Yupps. I'm turning in soon. How about you?"

"Haha. I don't sleep that early. I think I'm going to revise some of my work first.." Like I say, you can change a person's style but it's hard to change his personality.

-----

"I used to do that too! But I just promised someone that I'm not going to burn any midnight oil today. If not, he is going to nag at me again~" I could hear the tinge of happiness in her voice. I think the 'him' should be Kwon Ji Yong? Just like in the past, he still meant so much to her...

"I see... Then you should listen to that person. Burning midnight oil is no good for health.."

"Araso~ You too Oppa! Oh Oppa, I forgot to ask you.. What faculty are you in?"

"Hmmm. Arts and Music..." I'm in the same faculty as you, girl. It's just that you never did notice me..

"Omo! Jeongmal?!! I'm in it too!!" She became excited.

"Yeahs... I know... But I'm a year higher than you." I couldn't help but have a smile on my face. I could totally imagine her excited face now.

"Oppa, does that mean that you are in the same class as Ji Yong Oppa? Opps. Mianhae.. I mean Kwon Ji Yong?"

"Ahhh. Anniyo. I'm in the class next to his..."

"Hmmm. So this means that you are in class 2B?! I have a module that clashes with that class! How come I never did notice you in the class?!" Yeahs. I'm in the same module as you, Im Yoona. But you are always surrounded by people.

"Yeahs... I saw you the other time..." I tried to keep my cool.

"Omo! Mianhae Oppa! That class is just for an hour. And in that hour, I got so much things to do. I never really did get to know some of the classmates. I wished I had known you earlier!" She cried.

Wow. That totally made my day again... Just that simple sentence from her is enough to keep me smiling for the entire day already~

"Ahhh. Jeongmal? Me too..."

"Oppa! Don't be formal with me! Banmal will do~" She chuckled. "Oppa, why not let's meet at the school gate in the morning tomorrow? Since coincidentally, we have that class tomorrow morning."

"Eh?" I couldn't believe what I was hearing.

"Mwuh? You are going to be with your friends? If that's the case, then it's alrights...." She sounded a little disappointed.

"A...Anniyo! How could I have friends?" I chuckled nervously. "Of course I can meet you..."

"Jeongmal? That's soooo great!!! Araso. See you tomorrow then Oppa! Goodnights!" She cheered.

"Neh~ Oh.. Yoona ah...." I took a deep breath and plucked up all my courage.

"Neh?"

"Er... I can fetch you to school .. I mean, provided if you want to..." I gulped down my saliva hard.

"Oh... Mianhae Oppa...My friend is coming to pick me up already... Jeongmal mianhae..." Aishh~ My heart sank. But then again, don't get too carried away, Choi Seung Hyun. You just become her friend. Let's take baby steps at a time.

"Oh... Araso..." But still, I couldn't help but sounded disappointed. I guess that friend should most probably be Ji Yong...

"Ahhh. Oppa, how about next time? I'm sure we will have many more chances to come by!" She seemed to hear my disappointment and tried to cheer me up.

"Jeongmal?" Of course, I lighted up.

"Neh! But provided you stop being so formal with me!" She chuckled.

"Araso araso." I laughed too. "So, I guess... I will see you tomorrow morning?"

"Neh! Tomorrow morning at the school gate! I want to introduce someone to you too! Annyeong!"

"Neh~ Have a good rest. Goodnight~" For the first time ever, I said 'goodnight' to the Goddess in the school. Over the phone...

"Goodnight!"

-----

"Yubbosaeyo?" Finally the phone got through.

"Oppa~" I heard her yawn over the phone.

"Finally your phone got through. It was engaged for the past half an hour. I almost decided to head to your house to see what was going on."

"Ahhh. Anniyo. I was talking on the phone.. My friend... called." Her friend? Yuri? Ahhh. It couldn't be. If it is, she would just say that it's Yuri. I mean, come on, I know ALL of her friends. And she knows mine too.

"Friend? Who is that?" I couldn't help but asked.

"Er... Seung Hyun-sshi..." She hesistated for awhile and decided to just tell me the truth.

"Oh..."

"We were just casually talking only. Nothing much!" She quickly explain herself.

"You guys exchange phone numbers already? You only met him once!"

"Ahhh. He is not a bad guy, Oppa." She tried to defend him, much to my jealousy.

"How do you know? Never judge a book by its cover~"

"I just know that he isn't a bad guy. And he seems really familiar... But I couldn't recall who is he..."

"Ahhh. Everyone just seems familiar to you~ You are too easily taken in, Im Yoona."

"Yah! Am not! Why do you call anyway? Shouldn't you be sleeping?"

"I call to check on someone first before I sleep. But apparently, that someone is not obeying my words. She is still not in bed. And therefore, I couldn't sleep too." I smirked.

"Chinjia. I just finish drying my hair! Araso araso. I'm going to sleep~ Oppa..."

"Hmmm?"

"Can you do me a favour?"

"Mwuh?"

"Sing me to sleep~ I miss your singing! It's been ages since you last sang me to sleep... These few weeks had all been sunny days..." 

"Ahhh. Chinjia. You're so troublesome!" I chuckled. In front of others, she is the flaweless, formidable Im Yoona. But in front of me, she acted like a child sometimes.  But, she is still as cute anyway.

"Yah! Come on~ Pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeee." She whined.

"Araso araso! I hate to hear your whine. Are you in bed now?" I smiled as I laid in my bed too.

"Neh~ All ready. Blankets covered too." She chuckled.

"Ok. Here goes~" I cleared my throat and started singing.

Baby good night~ Baby good night~

-----

"Yah. Alligator Yoong?"

Ji Yong sang through the song and finally, called for Yoona. But Yoona didn't reply. She was soundly asleep already, smiling in her sleep. Ji Yong hang up the call and shook his head with a smile on his face, laying in his bed, falling asleep too.

-----

"COMING~!!!" I shouted as I heard the doorbell rang. I had such a good night sleep yesterday night after hearing Ji Yong Oppa's song that I overslept this morning.

"Morning Sleepyhead~" He flashed his charming smile the moment I opened the door. Gosh. Even as his best friend, my heart skipped a beat upon seeing his smile. Not to mention that I am his secret admirer too...

"Ahhh. Morning~ It's all your fault. Who tell you to sing such a romantic song!" I stuck my tongue out playfully at him, heading towards his Bentley. 

"Just admit that you love to sleep alrights? Stop pushing the blame to my charming voice~" He smirked as he opened the car door for me, allowing me to get in and then closes the door after I settled in. Seriously, who wouldn't fall for such a sweet guy?

----

"Oppa, dropped me off in front of the school gate. I want you to meet someone too." Yoona told Ji Yong as they approached the school gate.

There was a little commotion gathered in front of the gate already. Seung Hyun was standing there as promised, waiting for Yoona. The girls that walked past the school gate were all awing in amazement at his charisma. Actually, Seung Hyun hesistated about his style for the entire morning. He was deciding whether or not to just wear back his spectacles and put on the old clothes. He felt more comfortable in that way. But then, he remembered what Yoona had told him....

"Remain in this style. This style brings out your other character. It boosts your confidence level. Don't let others bully you because of your look. Pardon me for being this frank. From the incident just now, I guess Changmin only bullied you because you look like you're a push-over. But actually, you are actually quite charming. So, do NOT go back to your old self. I hated to see my friends getting bullied..."

This gave Seung Hyun the courage and he put on the contacts and clothes that he had bought yesterday. Yoona is right. The moment he stepped into the school, he had pairs of eyes staring at him, with looks of admiration. He felt really estatic. He had never felt that way before. People always gave him a disgusted look. But now, people eyed him with admiration and girls even smile shyly at him!

"Wow. What's with that little commotion over there?" Ji Yong spoke up as he saw girls smiling and pointing to a guy. Usually, only him and Changmin will get that kind of treatment. That guy don't look like Changmin though.

"Oh Oppa. Let's stop here for awhile shall we? I want you to meet him." Yoona smiled as she got off from the car.

-----

"Seung Hyun Oppa!" Yoona got off the moment I stopped my car and walked towards that guy that everyone is talking about.

"Hey...." That guy waved his hand and smiled brightly at her.

"Ji Yong Oppa! Come here!" Yoona shouted for me, ignoring the many glances from the other students that are now glancing at us. They couldn't really stop because the discipline master will punish whoever who is late for class. Well, except for me of course. I mean, come on. My family is of some influence in Korea. And besides, I'm an excellent student that don't break the school rules. Except for that time when I beat Changmin up. But I didn't regret that at all anyway. 

"Mwuh?" I walked towards the both of them.

"Seung Hyun Oppa, the friend that I want you to meet is him, Kwon Ji Yong. Ji Yong Oppa, the person that I want you to meet is him, Choi Seung Hyun." Yoona introduced the both of us.

"Annyeonghaesaeyo... Choi Seung Hyun immida..." He stretched out his hand, signalling for a handshake.

I hate to say this, but he looks rather charimastic. And Yoona is right. He really did seems familiar...

-----

"Annyeonghaesaeyo... Kwon Ji Yong immida..." He shook my hand firmly. He looks the same as last time, that handsome, that charming...
