2006

Cause we were just kids when we fell in love 

Not knowing what it was 

-Shuhua this are our new neighbors the Seo´s

Mrs Yeh said as she fixed the tiara on Shuhua´s hair, Shuhua peeked around her mother to see an older couple with a toddler on her mother´s arms and a little girl. 

-Hello Shuhua, my name is Misuk, this is my husband Doyun and these are our daughters, this one is Yejin, say hello Yejin

The toddler giggled and hid her face in her mother´s neck

-And this is our eldest daughter, Soojin

Shuhua's curious eyes landed on Soojin, she appeared to be a little older than Shuhua and looked at her with a mixture of curiosity and shyness

-Nice to meet you

Soojin said in a small voice as she bowed to the Yeh´s

-Louder Soojin, don´t mind her, she is a little shy

Shuhua´s father smiled 

-Don´t worry, our Shuhua will speak for both of them

The adults laughed while Shuhua approached Soojin who was now staring at the ground

-Hi

Soojin looked up and saw that Shuhua was staring at her.

-You have a mole under your eye, it's so cute

Soojin immediately turned red but smiled

-Thank you, I liked your dress

Shuhua smiled and twirled to show her dress to Soojin.

-I am a fairy

-It's a beautiful dress

-You can borrow if you want

-Really?

-You are my friend now and friends borrow things

-Friends? I like it

2018

Baby, I'm dancing in the dark 

With you between my arms 

Barefoot on the grass 

Listening to our favorite song 

When you said you looked a mess 

I whispered underneath my breath 

But you heard it 

Darling, you look perfect tonight 

Shuhua stared out across the sky as she let the breeze ruffle her hair, and she had just escaped from her graduation party

-I knew I would find you here in our secret spot

Shuhua gasped as she saw Soojin approaching, it had been a few months since she had last seen Soojin

-What are you doing here unnie?

Soojin shrugged

-Your mother invited our family to your graduation party but when I arrived I couldn't find you.

-I just needed to breathe a little.

Soojin nodded and sat next to her, she understood very well what Shuhua was going through because a year ago she was in the same situation

-The university is not so bad

-I know

-And we will study at the same university

-Yeah but you have Hui and we're not friends anymore, are we?

Soojin immediately became quiet, everything Shuhua had said was true, she distance herself from Shuhua when she started dating Hui, the two never got along and Hui had always complained about the strong bond between them, Hui was jealous of Shuhua and deep down Soojin knew he was right that's why she started to ignore her best friend, but now everything was different

-We broke up

Shuhua immediately looked at her in surprise.

-Why did you break up with him? I thought you liked him

Soojin shrugged

-I think I never liked him, at least not as I should

-And why did you agree to date him?

-He is a good guy

Immediately Shuhua made a weird face

-I'm serious, Hui is a good guy and I thought that in time I would feel something deeper for him so I did my best to be a good girlfriend

-Including ignoring your best friend for months?

-Ouch... but I deserved that, yes I had to stay away from you too

Soojin sighed as she saw the hurt in Shuhua's eyes.

-Why would you do that? I thought it would be you and me against the world, forever

Soojin lowered her head

-I just wanted to be normal...

-Jin ah...

-I know, it was naive of me to try to pretend to be something I'm not, I thought that if I really tried I would start to like Hui and all the confusion I felt inside me would be over

-And it´s over?

Soojin fixed her gaze on Shuhua

-It hurt like hell but after a while I finally managed to face my feelings and realize who I really was

-And who are you, Seo Soojin?

-I am Seo Soojin, a lesbian who is in love with her best friend…you

Shuhua gasped while looking at her not knowing what to say or think, she always dreamed that one day Soojin would declare herself to her but now that she had said it she didn't know what to do

-Shu? did I ruin everything?

Soojin's eyes filled with tears and Shuhua started shaking her head frantically.

-You didn't do anything wrong, I was just surprised

-Why? Is it so weird that I like you?

-It's actually a dream come true.

-Shu...

A car with a loud stereo parked near where they were and Shuhua immediately stood up and held out her hand to Soojin.

-Would you like to dance milady?

-I thought you were a fairy not a knight
