"Sica you smeared ice cream on your cheek.."  unresponsive.. was the blonde girl staring miles away from their table. The other girl can't help but to raise a brow at her dull friend,

" aaand your digging holes at the wall, now that's interesting"

the latter turned to the direction to where her friend was so focused on, only to find what she expected.. a pale painted wall. She turns back, slumping deep unto her cushioned seat and crossed her arms, 'Jessica seems pre-occupied ever since we've got here' she observed her friend's uncanny behaviour. Jessica was rather modest and well-reserved, cold and pompous which is appealing in a way. But judging at her current state, it was purely none of it.

The blonde girl was was thinking, real hard. And she rarely does that, unless she's bothered or frustrated. Just when questions kept sprouting in her mind, and made her subjective of how things should work out. Making her grow confused and anxious. Flashback filled the blonde girl's head, ignoring everything around her at the moment.

 

"Unnie when I grow up, I'll meet my prince charming right?" 

"ahh yes, you will Soojung" she caressed her younger sister's hair

"How 'bout you unnie? You found yours already?" as innocent as a young deer, the younger girl asks



'..Had I?'



"Jessi that jock guy actually asked me out!!" her bubbly classmate shrieked loudly

"wow that's good to hear" she flatly replied after covering her ears from the outburst

"seriously.. prom is in three days, heard you haven't had a guy to go out with" the girl crossed her arms and stared judgingly 

"no one deemed fit" she shrugged 

"Because you clearly rejected each and every one of them!! Could you just give them a chance??" her classmate retorted back



'Should I?'



"A man and a woman is bound to be together, both doesn't serve its purpose without the other.."  the lecturer continued  "so when you guys get married, make sure both sides work together for your own family.." he added more

the blonde situated at rear end was in trance, spacing out. But she heard the discussion clearly.



'Would I?'

All of these questions, a certain person fills her mind

Her feelings towards the person made her think of these things. Just too much.

 

And it was then clear for her, what society expects. How society works, how it could manipulate one's life through choosing what's normal and what's not.

But why was she so troubled about it? 



-----------------



"I like you.. Kwon Yuri" she confessed to her bestfriend, a direct and honest confession


The girl across the table was bewildered when she suddenly heard the latter. The blonde girl could only stare much deeply unto the wall, mind was more occupied than before.

"What do you mean Sica?" uneasiness was clear on her bestfriend's actions, as she starts to shift a good distance away from her
  

'So.. you're like everbody else'  disappointed at her bestfriend's reaction, but far more disappointed at her decision. She must've startled the poor girl in this casual 'friendly-date' they're in

She hoped her bestfriend was on the same side as she was in, thought she felt the same as she did. But unfortunately the other girl showed detest etched on her face


"This is crazy.." Yuri muttered, eyes now fixated on the floor. She can't even look straight unto Jessica right now.


'As crazy as it sounds.. I really do'


The blonde then shifted her gaze at her now mute bestfriend who is staring blankly on the floor. Silence engulf their atmosphere. Both just stared and contemplated whether what to speak next.

 

Both was just equally disappointed at each other.



'I guess you're no different' The blonde girl slowly shook her head in dismay. Crushed by the fact that her bestfriend is like other people, who are troubled by her kind. 


And so right there and then, Jessica thinks their friendship will never be the same again. 

--------------------

She was startled when a hand brushed her cheek. 

 

"There.." 

 

Brought back to reality, she immediately stares intently at Yuri

 

"Woah.. I just cleaned your cheek. Wouldn't want to be called 'stupid' would you?" hands raised, claiming innocence at the fierce stare the blonde is giving

Jessica's eyes grew wider, realizing that everything that happened was all inside her head. And that nothing has really happened ever since she finished off her ice cream.

"You sure stare a lot today huh?" Yuri who is now propping her face on her palm staring back at the blonde

Jessica now blinked a few times, still absorbing the situation. She can't also help but admire her bestfriend's cute actions.

 

Her bestfriend that she fell for.

 

Yuri finally gets up from her seat, "Hey.. If you're worried about Hani I'll find her sooner of later" the tanned-girl smiled faintly, clearly missing her lost dog

 

"I'll help you, let's look for her together.." Jessica speaks for the first time after the immense staring a while ago

 

"Really?!" 

 

Jessica nods, as she stood up and held Yuri's hand. 

 

 

'You're too precious for me to risk it' she held tighter

 

 

She then drags her out the shop back facing the tanned-girl

 

"Well.. That's what bestfriends are for" Jessica replied, deciding then and there to just keep it all to herself. Leave all things tacenda..

 

 

 

"Yeah.. Bestfriends" Yuri whispered, with a dejected expression that little did the blonde know 

 

 

 

 

A/N: 

Tacenda (pronounced ta-chen-da) - things are better left unsaid

I think that's it, I don't know if I was able to portray my idea or the story well.. I don't write much so I might lack on this one. /90degree bow

If you read all the way down here, I'm thankful :D

Please tell me what you think about it.
