Chapter 19: She's.. Gone..?

Yoona's POV:

I wonder what is up with Yuri and Taecyeon?
They seem to be hiding something from me.
Hmm, maybe I can ask her while I fetch her from her house!

"Please head to Yuri's house Ajusshi(Uncle)!" I asked the driver to head towards Yuri's house.

It's been a while since we have headed to school together.

I soon arrived at Yuri's house.
I quickly stepped out of the car and approached the door.
Raising my hand to ring the door bell.

"Ding-Dong" The sound resounded in the house.

This is weird..

Normally I would hear Yuri's voice shouting "I'm coming!" 

But there wasn't anyone doing that.

I was soon interrupted as the door opened revealing Yuri's mother.

"Imo?(Auntie?)" I asked slightly shocked.

She smiled slightly at me "I was expecting you to be here."

She was expecting me? 

I frowned slightly "Neh?"

What has exactly happened? Where is Yuri?

"Yuri.. She left." Auntie spoke trying to hold back her tears.

Left!? Where did she go!?

"What? Imo?(Auntie?) I don't understand." I exclaimed feeling extremely shocked by the news.

I couldn't absorb anything.

Yuri had left? Why?

And why did she not tell me anything at all?

"Here, I believe this letter will let you understand more. And pass these to the others." Auntie passed me a letter with "Yoona" on it and the
other two with "Nichkhun" and "Taecyeon" on it.

"I know you must be really shocked and confused, but I believe you will respect her decision as her best friend. I am sure she will contact you
when she is ready." Auntie smiled at me and held my shoulder.

I was speechless. I could not comprehend what had just happened. 

"Yoona, you have to stop spacing out, you are gonna be late for school if you do." She joked slightly smiling sincerely at me.

I could only nod at her and walk off reluctantly.

As I got into the car, I took out the letter that had "Yoona" on it and opened it.

"Dear Yoona,

You must be shocked eh?
I'm so sorry for not telling you anything before leaving. 
I know you must be angry with me too.
I know it is too sudden that you can't comprehend.
I'm sorry that I couldn't tell you face to face.
But! Don't worry about me, I am just going to further my studies!
And I will be back as a much better person!
I hope you will stay happy!
I will also await good news from you about your love Yoong!

With lots of love
Your best friend,

Yuri

Ps: Please help me to take care of my family. I love you.  "

I couldn't hold my tears. 

Yuri-yah, what have you been suffering?

Why did I not know that you are suffering!?

What kind of best friend am I?

I hope you will be fine there.
 

Please be fine.

We soon arrived in school.

I quickly wiped my tears and got off the car.

I dragged my feet towards the lecture hall.

Nichkhun's POV:

I saw Yoona entering into the lecture room.

Why is she looking so gloomy?

I raised my hand to signal to her that I was here but she didn't even turn to look at me.

Did something happened?

I quickly stood up and shouted "Yoona! Here!" 

She slowly looked towards my direction and smiled slightly at me.

I quickly walked towards her.

"Hey Yoona, You look gloomy. What is wrong?"

Yoona's POV:

"Oh? Nichkhun? Ah.. Yeah. Take this." I passed to him the letter Yuri wrote for him.

"What is this?" He asked.

"Yuri.. She have withdrawn herself from school and this is a letter from her." Tears welled up again thinking of her.

Nichkhun's POV:

I quickly tore open the letter.

" Hey Nichkhun!

Thanks so much for being such a great friend to me!<
