“Ah.. What a tired day!” It was a tired day for Yuri as she pulled down the shutter of her café and was about to lock the shop when she heard sobbing not far from her.

“Ghost?”

It was already late at night, she was afraid she might hear or saw something that she was not suppose to see. She closed her eyes tightly and slowly stood up after she locked the shop. Cold sweat ran down by her side burns as she made both her hands into fists tightly, afraid of what might happen next. She carefully opened her eyes to see a young lady trudging pass her, sobbing.

“Wait, isn’t that… Er.. Who’s that.. Sulli! Sulli right?!”

“S-sulli?” She called out, hoping who she figured was correct.

The young lady turned around, she looks worn out. She had that egg poignant smell that totally made Yuri want to puke. Her uniform had little holes at sides and was some parts were smudged with black ink. Yuri tilted her head to an angle to clarify whether she was the one sobbing and crying while she closed her café earlier, and much to her relieve, she was right.

“Oh.. Annyeonghaseyo Yuri-sshi,” she bowed and wiped her tears swiftly, as if Yuri couldn’t see what she was doing. Sulli actions were quite slow, must be from the tiredness, Yuri thought to herself.

“What is a young lady like you doing here? Shouldn’t you be home?” Yuri replied, walking towards her and softly took her wrist and shaking it lightly.

She didn’t say anything but just look on the road, spacing out.

“Where are you heading to? Sulli? Hello?” Yuri waved her hand directly at Sulli’s face, hoping she would come to her senses.

“Oh, sorry.. I’m just taking a walk around here,” she muttered and avoids Yuri’s eye contact. Yuri sensed that something was amiss, she raised her right eyebrow and knew in a split second that she was lying. Weirdly enough, she had some sense that she is lying. The only people she could tell that they were lying are people like Jessica, Taeyeon, Yoona and a little bit of Tiffany. And to read someone’s mind that fast is only by having a close friendship or relationship. That what shocked Yuri, at that moment, in a blink of an eye, she knew that Sulli was lying.

“Well…‘Since you are walking around,’ you should eat. Are you hungry?” Yuri gave a warm smile, trying every way she could to comfort her and make her feel comfortable around her.

“I’m not, thank you anyway, Yuri-sshi,” she rejected the offer but seconds after that both of them heard a stomach growling and it was obvious that it was from Sulli herself. It was awkward and embarrassing(for Sulli) at first, but Yuri couldn’t help but to stifle a laugh and brought her in to the café, insisting that she should since it’s cold outside too.

Yuri directed her to a sit and pulled out a chair for her. She then proceed the kitchen and shouted across the kitchen.

“Anything that you crave for currently?” Yuri shouted, heating up the pan with oil and tied her apron as fast as she could.

“Anything’s fine,” Sulli stood up, making sure she could hear what she said, she felt half happy that her own sister was taking care of her and half sad that what Yuri was doing were just friendly intentions.

Twenty minutes later, the aroma of the food filled the café, Yuri gracefully brought out the food she cooked and served Sulli just like a customer. She ran back to the kitchen and brought two glasses which was for wine but also brought our a bottle of soda. Sulli was puzzled at first but as soon as Yuri placed it on the table nicely, she explained that Sulli couldn’t drink alcohol yet for her age. Sulli couldn’t help but laugh at her explanation.

It was awkward at first, but what broke the silence was Yuri’s phone which vibrated in her pocket.

“Excuse me for a minute,” Yuri politely smiled at took out her phone. Jessica was calling, she wanted to pick up the phone but the phone stopped ringing.

“Crap! 21 miss calls from Sica, I’m dead!”

She dialled Jessica’s number but halfway the ringing tone was cut off as she found out her phone battery died and she couldn’t on it back.

“What happened, Yuri-sshi?” Sulli stopped eating and gently put her fork and spoon, looking at her straight in the eyes.

“Ah… nothing. My battery died on me,” Yuri gave the warmest smile, that made Sulli feel all tingly inside, that warm smile, she thought, her sister’s smile is the only one that makes her secure, no one else. Not even her parents.

Out of a sudden, Yuri reached for her hands. It felt so warm to her, she learnt that the people with the warmest hands are those who are the kindest. Her sister’s hand, who she have longed for, makes her feel more secure than ever, those hands, were the warmest of all she have touched. Sulli jumped a bit at first at the sudden contact, she noticed that Yuri did that as if they were close.

“What happened to you, Sulli ah?” Yuri sounded reluctant, she didn’t want to ask about someone’s personal problems, especially to an acquaintance. But she figured that since Sulli is just a school girl stranger, she might help out with family problems, though she don’t have any memory of them.

“Well,” Sulli sighed.

“My parents have been fighting about another daughter they used to have. And I don’t even know her whereabouts, and each day, they fight about it. It’s annoying, but everytime they quarrel,” though Sulli know her sister was just right in front of her, she had something planned out in her head already.

“And it makes me want to find them,” she finished off what she said and ate the remaining food with her free hand.

“Oh,” that’s all Yuri could say, she let go of Sulli hands so that depressed schoolgirl could finish her food comfortably. Yuri looked down on her own shoes, feeling guilty and regretted asking in the first place.

“I’m sorry you had to listen to my pathetic story,” Sulli played with her fingers and looked downwards.

“You know what?” Yuri stood up out of a sudden and looked around her, embarrassed at her sudden action and sat back down. Sulli giggled quietly and waited for Yuri to continue what she has to say.

“I’ll find your sister for you!” Yuri clasped her hands together and felt proud that she was doing the right thing, helping someone.

“Are you sure? I mean you don’t have to. I just needed you to listen to my problems, that’s all. You really don’t have to..” Sulli said, but inside her heart she was celebrating about the fact that her own sister is agreeing to help her.

“Unnie, I’m doing this because I want you to remember who I am again, remember Omma and Appa. And everyone who lived in your past. I can’t stand living alone without you and hearing Omma and Appa’s never ending quarrels,”

“Uh-huh! No worries, I’m not doing anything big currently. So I can help you out, so what are you planning to do first?” Yuri asked, making sure she take note of all the things she should know.

“I’m planning to find her at all the places she used to go, all the favourite places and the places she goes when she’s sad or had things on her mind to clear.”

“Ara, ara. Don’t worry, I’ll help you with it! I’ll be there for you till the end, we’re friends!” Yuri said cheerfully, as they entangled their pinkies together, as a promise that Yuri would help her out.

“So this is your house?” Yuri looked at the white coloured mansion which look super clean and there were no creepers, algaes or black smothered dirt on the house. It was all white, with pretty flower prints near the windows. This two storey mansion is like a doll house, Yuri thought.

Sulli just nodded her head, slightly disappointed that she has to go home since her own sister forced her to because it was already 1:30 in the morning and ‘a girl like her shouldn’t be out in the streets at such late nights’. That’s been Yuri’s phrase, Sulli noticed.

“Aish, don’t be disappointed! Rest well and takecare, I’ll see you on the weekends okay? My place!” Yuri gently ruffled Sulli’s fringe and waved goodbye when she went down from the porch of Sulli’s house.

Sulli bowed for the last time before she quietly sneak into her house.

“I’m so tired,” Yuri yawned and unlocked the door of the house, dragging her feet, making her way to her room.

She slowly and quietly opened the door, trying not to wake her girlfriend up, but to her surprised she saw Jessica in her bathrobe, sitting on the bed, floded her arms and sulking. As soon as she saw Yuri at the door, she gave a death glare that scared the hell out of Yuri.

“Heh.. H-hi, babe… I’m home!” Yuri quickly walked to her and sat behind her, hugging her girlfriend at the back, by the waist, placing her chin on Jessica’s shoulder.

“Hm,” That’s all Jessica said as she turned her head away to the opposite direction.

“Babe, I’m sorry.. I bumped into a friend and my battery was flat that’s why I couldn’t call you back,” Yuri tried to explain the easiest way she can, so that her girlfriend won’t flare up.

“Let go. Don’t touch me!” Jessica dug her nails in Yuri’s forearm and pushes it away as she screamed at her face.

Yuri was too tired to even get back up, though her forearm hurt she couldn’t be bothered and her eyes were half closed already, the tired tears at the corner of her eyes had blurred her vision too, and her brain were silently screaming to beg for some sleep since she was already comfortably lying on her bed.

“Yah, Kwon Yuri. I waited for you for so long. I wanted a special night tonight! Look! I’m wearing a bathrobe and inside them are nothing but those expensive lingerie I bought with Tiffany!” Jessica shouted and took off her bathrobe.

As soon as she saw Yuri, her anger was already up to her head.

“YAH KWON YURI! HOW CAN YOU SLEEP!”

Yuri was already sleeping soundly, snoring.
