Eunbi swings the cafe door open and scans the room looking for a familiar figure, when she didn't find her, she felt somewhat relieved. She wasn't sure why she agreed to meet her. She could've just made up an excuse and locked herself up in her apartment or go MIA until the wedding ends. Or better yet, fly to the west and get a new identity and forever forget Kwon Eunbi and her love for Miyawaki Sakura. She still had time.

 

"You look like you want the strongest coffee we can offer" Eunbi looks up to the barista who was smiling at her and was clearly doing more than just what her job description entails her to. Eunbi offers a small smile completely forgetting the thought of starting up a new identity, "Thanks," Eunbi says and squints to read the imprinted name on her tag, "Sian."

 

"So you'll really take the strongest coffee we have to offer?" Sian smiles at Eunbi geniunely but Eunbi's thoughts were far from where she was and she didn't even care what coffee she would take, as long as it would distract her from who she was going to meet, so Eunbi nods mindlessly.

 

"I'll bring it to your table" Sian smiles and Eunbi returns the gesture and picked a seat near the corner. She didn't know why she picked the furthest seat, but maybe she was hoping Sakura wouldn't see her and leave, and then she'd tell her that she had been there the whole time and that it wasn't her fault they couldn't meet because it was Sakura that left. Yeah, it was Sakura that left but in truth, it was her that left.

 

Eunbi fidgets on her seat while nervously glancing at the store's entrance. There was this odd feeling of being excited of seeing Sakura and knowing what she was here for. She picked up her phone and saw that it was already a few minutes past their meeting time and a part of her sighed in relief thinking Sakura might not be coming afterall but a part of her was also disppointed for not seeing the younger girl.

 

"You have a face that says you don't want to meet me" The soothing familiar voice made Eunbi slightly tremble as she slowly looks up to finally see Sakura again. And whatever idea she had about not meeting Sakura was swept away when the japanese woman smiled at her.

"You look great, Eunbi-unnie" Sakura says after she took the seat right across Eunbi.

 

"If I'm great then someone who's getting married should be looking greater." Eunbi forces a smile and she hates herself for saying that. She hates it even more to see that it was the truth. Sakura certainly looked better than when she left her bawling at the airport before. She knew it would be appropriate to congratulate Sakura on her engagement but she didn't want to. She couldn't. She doesn't think she'll be able to force down her tears when she sees Sakura's bright smile when she accepts her congratulatory remark. So she didn't say it.

 

"Don't say that, unnie. If you just look around, I know you'll be able to find someone for you. Besides, you'll always look great to me." Sakura pouts and looks away at how Eunbi puts herself down and the older girl notices the pink blush tinted over her cheeks and since Sakura looked away,  she didn't notice the same blush on Eunbi's cheeks.

 

The complement had suddenly changed the tension between the two women. Both weren't sure why they were blushing at a simple complement, one they get a few more than enough everyday. Eunbi was sure why but she wasn't sure what Sakura's reason was for blushing over a simple comment, although to Eunbi, the words she spoke was as genuine as it was.

 

"One Biohazard Coffee for Eunbi" The barista named Sian stands beside Sakura and Eunbi's table with a drink in hand. Eunbi smiles as the girl places the coffee in front of her and Sian casts a glance at Sakura before winking her way away from the two.

 

"Point proven." Sakura looks at Eunbi with a smug grin and it confuses Eunbi on what Sakura was talking about.

 

"Exhibit A." Sakura continues when doesn't see Eunbi answering anytime soon. The younger woman reaches out to touch Eunbi's cup of coffee and spin the cup towards Eunbi.

 

Eunbi wasn't sure where Sakura was going with what she was saying but her eyes still follow what Sakura was trying to do with her coffee. As Sakura retracts her hand and nudges her head towards it, Eunbi realizes that there was something on the cup 'Call me, 245**23214' and she finally  realizes what Sakura was trying to say. Eunbi couldn't help but bite back her laughter which caused a coupling laugh from Sakura as well.

 

"If you just look around, I'm sure you'll find someone, unnie. I mean it." Sakura says seriously after she stopped laughing. Eunbi couldn't help but adore the younger girl on she cared for her. But she wished she cared about her more than how she did and more like how she does. Eunbi's heart flutter with how Sakura's eyes look at her and hurt when she remembers that the woman before her will never be hers.

 

"I know. I'm just..." Eunbi pauses, thinking whether she should concede to her heart's desire of telling Sakura how she feels. Hoping everything will change but she knows it's too late and telling Sakura about her feelings would probably break her heart more than how it already is. So she continues, "not looking around yet."

 

Sakura nods at her understandably and Eunbi takes the time to ponder whether she should tell her about her feelings and move on or continue to sulk and move on. She thinks either way, she should just move on. Either way, she would just get hurt. So she bites back the feeling of regret and the words she would surely regret and act as if she was happy for her bestfriend slash love of her life.

 

Eunbi thought it was easy to finally talk with Sakura because she had convinced herself that she was okay and that she was happy for Sakura.

 

They talk and Eunbi hates how Kim Wooseok's name pops out of nowhere in there conversation. She hates how bright Sakura smiles at the thoug

Chapter 2: I feel frustrated every time Mr. Kim Wooseok appears in all fics I read. Oh god knows...why don't you two just talk and stop torturing each other. This frustrates me the most.
Thanks for continuing this story, but I still can't handle the pains ㅠㅠ

Chapter 1: Nuuu, I don't want it to end this way, please fix it. :'(
Eunbi with the Sprite though, I was able to imagine it pretty well. But Eunbi, you got to do something. I don't think it too late, just crash her wedding or something.
