Wiping the lens of my camera before keeping it in it’s case, I felt light taps on my shoulder making me turn my head on the side to check who it was 

I saw Yuju leaning towards me with a smile on her face. She had already changed back to her casual clothes after the photoshoot for the magazine of the company

“Do you have a minute to talk?” She asked with a slight hint of uncertainty. My brows furrowed and tilted my head out of curiosity

Just why would she want to talk? And what would it be about?

I have always be anxious about her... and afraid that she might talk about Sojung and maybe even would want her back now that they have met again.

And I know that she already have Eunha but I couldn’t help have that kind of thoughts because after all, they were madly in love for a long time and have known each other for like forever. Apart from that, they were each other’s first love

As the saying goes, you can’t easily forget the feelings and memories you had with your first love

“So... do you have time or you have another schedule to attend to?” She asked once again making me snap from my thoughts and shake my head

“Nope. I’m free today, what’s the matter?” I took of the camera lace on my neck and placed it inside the black bag. I heard a deep breath from her and as I turn my head to her, I laced the bag on the shoulder

“Want to go get some air first?” She pointed her thumb on the glass door and I couldn’t help but think that she would be talking about something the both of us could feel uncomfortable with, Kim Sojung

I nodded and I let her take the lead and I could help but stare at her tall figure. Her figure was so similar to Sojung but the difference was that the older girl was taller and slimmer than her but overall Yuju’s figure was indeed admirable

Just how would the two of them act as a couple? Based on what I see during their photoshoot together, they had this special chemistry that I couldn’t help but feel a pang in my heart. The smile Sojung gives towards her makes me mad for smiling like that even know she was just doing it for work and professionalism

Was it out of jealousy that I was feeling that? Am I threatened of Yuju?

“Childish” I muttered making the taller girl stop her tracks and look at me

“What?” She asked anxiously that made my eyes widened that I unknowingly said something out of my thoughts

“I was talking with myself” I shook both of my hands in front of me and laughed nervously. She slowly nodded and went back into walking

We walked in silence the whole time, it wasn’t an awkward silence—well for me, since I was so lost with my thoughts—until we reached the park outside the building.

We sat on the nearest bench and I couldn’t help but get distracted at how she fidgets her fingers on her lap while she looks at them

“So, what is it you want to talk about?” I asked as I look up at the dark vast sky with the half moon shining brightly despite of the thin clouds protecting it

She didn’t answer my question and that’s when I was slowly starting getting anxious that it may be really about Sojung. I have always been the type of not getting nervous when it’s about her but this time it was different. I was feeling like a hand gripping my heart that it was making me hard to breath

“I-is it about Sojung?” I said trying to hide the fact that I was scared that she might agree and say things that I wouldn’t like

She bit her lips and stopped fidgeting her fingers and with that, I knew exactly that I was correct

“What about her?” Silence was the only thing that was heard after that and I slowly was feeling like dying due to how it was hard to breath

I waited and waited for her to speak up but by the time that I was at my limit, I said “If you’re just gonna stay silent, it’s better for me to leave instead of wasting time. I still have better things to do than this”

I grabbed my bag and stood up and started walking but as soon as I reached my few steps away I heard a loud “Wait” from her that made me stop and turn around

She was already on her feet by the time I turned and both of her fists were clenched “I... Can you help me?”

Her voice was pleading and full of desperation. My heart started beating rapidly out of nervous and cold sweats started running to me

“What?” I unknowingly said it sternly and my eyes narrowed. I shouldn’t let myself get carried away but why doesn’t it want to calm down?

“I-it’s not like what you think... I want her forgiveness”—She looked on the ground but I saw a glimpse of her eyes getting all sparkly because of the water that had wanted to come out of them—“I know that I messed up big time. And I know that her, acting all kind and fine in front of me is nothing but an act”

“How sure are you about that?” I said and I saw hesitance in her expression

“I know her better than you think. I... I know when she’s only acting and lying”

After she said those words I could help but feel mad. I feel mad because she was right. She knew Sojung more than I do and yes, she was only acting and lying in front of her at first but now.... I don’t even know anymore

After all she had said and promised about me, I’m not quite sure anymore if she’s mad at Yuju because of what she had done or she still have feelings for her

“Look, I’m not the one you should be talking about this” I said and before I could walk away she shouted something that made made me stop and think

“I saw how she looks at you, Sinb. I saw the eyes and smile of Sojung which was more brighter and colorful than she had when she was with me. You might be doubting her because of me but trust me I know the eyes of someone who’s in love and I’m certain that she will listen to you”

“I’m sorry to say this Miss Choi, but I don’t want to meddle with your issue with her. If you want forgiveness, go to her and not me. Because who knows? She might’ve already forgiven you but was just afraid of everything once she saw you again”

Yuju was left speechless at what I had said and she didn’t stop me anymore from walking away like what she did a while ago which was getting on my nerves

==============================================

I opened the door of my car and threw my things at the back and started the engine. As I drive, I couldn’t help but remember what Yuju had said about Sojung

“Brighter and colorful than when she was with you, huh?” I mumbled as I tap the steering wheel and as I approach the last turn to my home, I stopped the car due to the headlights

I kept thinking about what just had happened. It caught me off-guard that she wanted my help for them to reconcile but I still am doubting if I should since it would be a huge mistake that I would regret if I do help her. I know that she truly love Eunha but I just couldn’t remove that possibility in my mind

I tapped my passcode of the door and removed my shoes and placed my coat at the rack

“What a heck of a day” I stretched my arms up in the air and was about to step inside the bathroom to clean myself until my phone rang. I saw Sojung’s name as the caller and answered it

“Hello?” I said and I heard loud music on the other line. Is she at a party? And why is calling me?

“Baby Hwang, wer are wu?” Her voice sounded like she was tipsy and already lost it. And I couldn’t help but pray that what I’m thinking wasn’t true... I don’t want to go out again and handle a drunk giraffe

“Gimme that” I heard a familiar voice and a loud thud was heard—probably someone snatched it from her

“Hi. It’s me Yerin, do you have a spare minute to come and get her?” No wonder she got drunk. She’s with Yerin and I could hear Sojung’s voice beside her “Yenni, give me back ma phone”

“What? Don’t tell me you made her drunk?” I asked with my voice rising. And I couldn’t help but get frustrated at what was happening. Just when I was about to relax and sleep, they call me?

“I didn’t make her drunk ok? It’s a party so what do you expect? Even you had been drunk the last time I knew you attended one” She said defensively and I couldn’t help but twitch my lips because she made me remember what was the outcome of that...

“Can you stop bringing that up?” I annoyingly said and I suddenly heard sobs on the other line who was telling Yerin to give her phone back

“Yenni, I just want to talk with my baby...” I felt my face heating but upon hearing the ‘baby’ part. How messed up could she be to be able to say that cringe-worthy word?

“Is she crying?” I asked as I hear continuous sobs on the other line and I just heard Yerin sigh making me know the answer already

“Where are you, anyway?” I surrendered and asked because I don’t want her to make more trouble and moreover, I don’t want people laying her hands on her. I would murder whoever will do that

“I’ll message you the address. And thank you because this girl has been making a scene ever since she lost it with the liquor—“

“Yenni, gimme back my phone”

“Can you stop it? I’m talking here” I heard Sojung growl making me chuckle at how cute it sounded like and the call was ended before I know it. Probably so that I wouldn’t hear any more of Sojung’s childish acts

I wore my sneakers and grabbed my coat and sighed “This will be trouble” and started heading to the parking lot to go get my car

I drove as fast as I could due to how the club is a little bit far fand I didn’t want Sojung to cause more trouble in the place and with someone...

The place was near my place, I estimate a couple of minutes ride, with that I should be relieved that I wouldn’t have to drive longer than I should have. 

I parked the car at the lot that is nearest the door and as I enter, laser lights were everywhere and loud music were playing nonstop.

Here I am back with one of the place I hate the most

I squeezed through the dancing crowd and heard Yerin’s voice calling my name at the left side of the place. Turning my head to their direction, I saw Sojung crying and shouting at Yerin

“Thank god you came to pick her up”

“She’s causing so much trou—“ before I could finish Sojung ran to me and hug me tightly then squished my cheeks

“Look wu it is... it’s my Baby Hwang” I glared at her but instead of getting intimidated, she adorably smiled then pulled me into a short kiss on the lips making me blush

“I missed you... let’s have fun” She grabbed my hand tried pulling me into the crowds but I stood still making her pout

“No. Sit there” I pointed at the sofa of their table and she was about to fight back buy I glared at her making her zip and whiningly sat at the sofa

“Wow... you actually was able to command her?”—Yerin looked at Sojung who was still smiling at me like an idiot—“You two really match up”

“Pardon?” I asked because I wasn’t able to hear it due to the loud music

“I said you two have the same habit when drunk”

“What? No, we don’t I’m not that bad” She then laughed, like really laughed that her hands were on her stomach

“Really? What about the time that you were about to call someone but Eunha snatched your phone away that made you end up crying on the sofa the whole night” She still remember that? That was like ages ago? She really has a sharp memory when it comes to events that happened

“Whatever” I rolled my eyes and walked up to Sojung and grabbed her hand to start getting out of this hell-like place

“Where are we going, babe?” She said as she poked me

“Home” I timidly said and she replied “ohhhh, what would we do there?” And my face started heating up, just what is she thinking on doing?

She never have stopped poking my arms the whole time we were headed to the parking lot and it was hard to control myself from exploding out of anger because of how naggy she was

 “She’s drunk so don’t get mad, Eunbi. You don’t want her to cry or do something may trigger her inner sensitiveness”

The drive wasn’t long like I expected, it was just a ten minute ride. I gave her a piggyback ride and I almost collapse due to how heavy she was

Just how much do you weigh to be this heavy?

“Bi, do you know how much I missed you?” I kept quiet and continued walking (and stumbling) towards my condo

“I missed you that I wanted to go with you wherever you go” I rolled my eyes and as we reach my condo, I entered my passcode. The door automatically opened and I opened the lights

I slowly laid her to her bed and I was gonna go to the kitchen to make some coffee and cold water to put on her head until I felt a hand grab my hand

“Don’t leave”

“I’m not leaving. I’ll just get you some coffee and cold water” I tried removing her hand from mine but instead, she placed both of her arms on my waist and hugged me from the back and I laid her head on my back

My heart was beating so fast like it could explode anytime. She really does makes me feel something that I haven’t felt before and I couldn’t help but be confused in the past about what I was feeling

I loosened her grip and turned around and hugged me more tightly and placed her head on my chest and pleadingly said “Don’t leave... Sinb... please...”

Hearing those words from her, calling out my name even when she’s drunk... I couldn’t help but smile because it may be a sign that she’s indeed sincere and what Yuju had said about her feelings were correct 

“I won’t leave you” I placed my left hand on her back and the other on her head to tap it and reassure her that I won’t

“I love you and please stay by my side, Hwang Eunbi” she said, barely understandable and I felt hot water on my shirt. Is she crying?

I placed both of my hands on the sides of her head and kissed the top of her head “I love you too”

She may not remember that I have said those words when she wakes up but at least now my heart loosened up because I was able to say my feelings. The feelings which I was so confused about for a long time
