Chapter 11
Stupid CupidSeulgi woke up with the unfamiliar weight above her stomach. She can't tell if it's an arm or something because it sure is heavy, she can't see it clearly because her sight was still a bit blurred so she let them adjust first.
'it's too heavy for an arm' she thought to herself, and that's when she realized that it was a leg
Yeri's right leg. She is now laying vertical to them, making it hard for Seulgi to move. 'Yeri is like a clock when sleeping' she thought to herself
She looked at her surrounding to see if everyone is sleeping. She saw Wendy, hugging her pillow, sleeping. She then looked at Sooyoung who's sleeping comfortably beside Wendy, hugging 'a mirror?' she creased her eyebrows in confusion and jolt when she suddenly hears a mumbling sound. She turned to whoever it is and found the sleeping Joohyun, with creased eyebrows as she mumble something that she cannot understand. It looks like she's having a fight with someone and Seulgi chuckles as she finds it 'cute'
Wait. What?
'No Seulgi, No!' she shook her head and closed her eyes before returning her attention to the leg in her stomach.
She slowly lifted her upper body, so she can carefully remove Yeri's leg off of her as she does not want to wake the other girl. She was having a hard time because she can't move, and any wrong move can wake the girl in the other side of her. She successfully remove it by carefully sliding Yeri's leg off of her. She smiled with a contented sigh and was ready to sleep again when
'Oww! Ok. That hurts. A lot she whimpered
as she felt the same weight being put above her stomach once again, but with a little force this time.
She removed Yeri's legs off of her once again, and wait for a minute to see if it will come back. But thankfully, it didn't. She laid back comfortably and smiled while closing her eyes, finally going to have her goodnight sleep.
But no. She didn't.
For she felt something wrapped around her waist.
She was sure that it was an arm this time.
She quickly shot her eyes opened and found Joohyun's arms wrapped around her waist. Her breath hitched and quickly looked at Joohyun with panicked eyes.
'Was she aware that she's hugging me?' she thought to herself nervously. Even though deep inside her heart says that she wants it, her brain was telling her that she mustn't, so she carefully removed Joohyun's arms off of her. She was a half-way there when Joohyun forcefully put her arms back to the Seulgi's waist, and the hug was tighter this time, making it hard for Seulgi to breath.
She wants to check if the other girl was awake but can't because Joohyun's face was so close to hers that she can even feel Joohyun's eyelashes against her cheek and her breath against her neck and she will accidentally kiss Joohyun if she ever tries to turn her face to the other girl, so she didn't.
Her thoughts were put to a stop when she felt Yeri's legs, yes her both legs, forcefully put themselves above Seulgi's legs, making the latter stare at the ceiling and cry for help.
'Maybe being clingy runs in their family?'
Leaving Seulgi with another sleepless night
-----
Joy and Wendy already head home after lunch since they both have things to do this weekend. The trio was left once again and were now lounging in the couch watching some k-drama re-runs.
Joohyun was sitting at the edge of the couch while Seulgi is in between her and Yeri. She was not focusing in the drama at all since she have never watched the previous episodes and was having a hard time to follow the story, and staring at the blonde beside her is much more interesting than the drama after all.
She chuckles when Seulgi were to crease her eyebrows whenever she sympathize the character, and when Seulgi jolts whenever she was surprised and when Seulgi's eyes brighten whenever there were happy moments.
Joohyun smiled at her adorably but frowned when she noticed that Seulgi was continuously caressing her stomach for a long time now.
"Seulgi-ah" she called her softly as she lightly taps her shoulder "Are you ok?" she quickly asked as the latter brought her attention to the older girl
"H-Huh? I-I'm fine" Seulgi smiled and immediately stopped herself from caressing her stomach
"I noticed that you're caressing your stomach, does your tummy hurt? Or maybe hungry or something?" Irene asked with worry
Yes. It hurts.
It still hurts.
The pain from Yeri's forceful leg lingered on her stomach. She can't tell Joohyun the truth because she was afraid that the older might scold Yeri so she decided to think of a lame excuse
"Umm.. I j-just have a stomach ache, that's all" She said with a reassuring smile "And it's not that bad after all, so no need to worry"
"No. You need to take a medicine" Irene insisted and suddenly stand up surprising both Seulgi and Yeri
"Where are you going unnie?" Yeri confusingly asked while munching a bowl of popcorn
"I'm gonna go buy some medicine for Seulgi" she said while wearing her cardigan and shoes
"But you don't have to! I-I'm really fi--" but before Seulgi can finish her sentence, Joohyun was already out of sight making the blonde feel guilty 'maybe I should've said the truth' she thought to herself
The sound of the door being opened was heard making Seulgi and Yeri turn their heads onto the front door. Yeri's eyes sparkled the moment she saw who it was, and suddenly ran to give him a big hug
"DAD!"
-----
"So Dad, how was your business trip?" Yeri enthusiastically asked while sitting next to Mr.Bae
"It was tiring as usuall but it's fun nevertheless" Mr. Bae said with a smile while ruffling Yeri's hair
"Fun, because that Miss Gayoon keeps on flirting with you" Mrs. Bae muttered across them with crossed arms making Yeri chuckle
Yeri and Joohyun knows that Miss Gayoon is a fine and kind lady that makes her Mom completely misunderstood her actions. Her Dad and Miss Gayoon was just business partners and it's true, it's just that her mother keeps on getting jealous over nothing whenever they're together, like a petty teenager.
Seulgi in the other hand was just sitting beside Mrs. Bae, confused and completely clueless
"I told you a million times already that she isn't" Mr. Bae replied calmly as he does not want to put gas to his already fuming wife
"She isn't?! Then why does she keeps on bringing you coffee even if it's not part of her job?!" Mrs. Bae abruptly stand and forcefully threw a pillow to her husband before stomping her way upstairs
Joohyun saw that the moment she opened the door, making her creased her eyebrows
"I'm sorry Seulgi, that you have to see that. It's just a habit of hers whenever she gets jealous" Mr. Bae chuckled and just shrugged it off
"Yeah, Mom is like that to every woman that approach Dad" Joohyun explained before hugging Mr. Bae as to welcome her back . She then proceeded to Seulgi's side and hand her the medicine with a smile
"Dad, I'm gonna go talk to Mom" Joohyun informed before making her way upstairs
"But why do you all act like you're not worried about Mrs. Bae?" Seulgi innocently asked while tilting her head
"It's not that we're not worried about her, it's just that we're used to it already because it keeps on happening again and again. But of course I will talk to her and maybe make it up to her later after she calmed down" Mr. Bae gave her a reassuring smile making Yeri do the same but both were surprised when Seulgi suddenly said something that might be true
"But don't you think that this keeps on happening because Mr. Bae keeps on using the same method like talking whenever you make up to her?
I think that you have to make her feel loved Mr. Bae, not just by talking to her, give her flowers maybe? In that way, she wouldn't think that she is replaceable, and will start to feel that you still love her like how you used to, Mr. Bae" Seulgi said it all naturally with an innocent smile
Seulgi's words made Mr. Bae realize that he is indeed lacking on showing her affection towards his wife and he thanked Seulgi for that.
-----
"Mom! Joohyun unnie!" Yeri shouted while knocking loudly as if she was in a hurry. Joohyun quickly opened the door, revealing a teary-eyed Yeri
"W-what is it?!" The older girl asked in worry
"Why baby? Why are you crying?" Her mother her cheeks softly to calm her.
Yeri fakes her sobs and wiped her fake tears "D-dad.. " she stuttered making her mother hug her while caressing her back. Joohyun in the other hand isn't dumb to not understand what was going on, smirking in the process.
"Why? What about your Dad?" Mrs. Bae asked softly
"H-he... "
"He what, baby?"
"He left" and Yeri's last word made Mrs. Bae stand abruptly. She didn't waste a single second and quickly head downstairs leaving a smirking Yeri and a laughing Joohyun
"What a love struck fool" Yeri giggled at how her mother acts like a teenager looking for her lover
"Well. I guess we can never know what love can do to us" Joohyun smiled as she stared at the descending figure of her mother
Mrs. Bae was running downstairs when she realized that darkness filled the entire house. She heard Yeri and Joohyun come down as well but paid no attention for she was
