“Are you sure you’ll be alright alone?”

“I’m a big girl. And I’m a big wolf too, like you.

“But what if you get attacked again?”

“I’m going to the hospital, not forest. Nobody is going to attack me. There’s plenty people there and nothing to be worried over. It’s gonna be fine.”

The two girls were arguing, or rather Yena insisted to come along with Yuri, wanting to accompany her everywhere she goes like magnet pulling each other by its nature. Clinging and watching the girl almost 24/7, not wanting to lose the sight of her, to the point that it began to bother Yuri with possessive eyes glued on her. So she decided to visit the doctor alone. Besides, knowing the doctor looks like Yena’s late friend causing Yuri to consider of not letting them meet often. Things might go wrong again. Seeing Yena get sad or feel guilty over the past once again is the least thing she wanted to happen in her life.

“Fine then, just be careful, okay? Call me soon if you need me and I’ll run to you fast,” Yena groaned, she was all ready to go along but letting Yuri leave apparently. She let go of her hands that has been gripping Yuri’s arms from around ten minutes ago.

Both the girls are hard-headed and it takes them a while once they start bickering. But most of the time, Yena lose. Just like now.

After Yuri’s leave, she took out her phone out of her pants’ pocket. Dialing a certain number afterward until the other person picked up the call after around four or five beeps. “Chaewon? Are you busy right now?”

“Not at the moment, why?”

“Can I ask you a favor? Please follow Yuri, she just went out alone and I have uneasy feelings about this…”

“… Why don’t you follow her yourself if you are this concerned?”

“It’s not that easy, she won’t let me to tag along and I’m so gonna be dead if she find me out later. Also, I trust no one beside you and Hitomi, so please?”

There was a sigh on the line before Chaewon finally reply her. “Okay, I’ll take this as a job from you so you better pay me well.”

“Wha– Aren’t we friends?”

“Pardon?”

“I-I said send me your account number,” Yena shook her head but eventually come to an agreement with Chaewon. If it means to guarantee Yuri’s safety then she’s more than willing to pay rather than to letting her go somewhere unprotected.

Yena is still the same old she is, a safety freak. Probably even more than a freak after all the things they went through.

On the other side, Yuri set her foot out from taxi. She brisk walks in the brilliant sunlight that braces her skin with its warmth, cascading onto her silent eye. She was enjoying her alone time outside which she rarely find nowadays, while her feet continue heading to the hospital building.
