I sat up in my room, contemplating Yuri's words. Don't you think she's more than just a friend to you?

"Well, maybe she is...." I said to myself. Downstairs, I heard the front door open. And a voice. It was all too familiar.

"I've missed you, too, Baekkie-oppa," she whimpered, burying her face in my shirt.

"You missed me? I thought you were always with Chanyeol," I said.
