Chapter 49
the thin line between love and hateThe grass was covered with a thick layer of snow that made squeak sounds as Shuhua walked around the car parked behind her as Soojin admired the view; The place was far off the main city, there was a few trees around and they had a beautiful view to the buildings and the lights from where they were; The older girl could only wonder how the taiwanesse found out about this place and could only assume it was from mindlessly walking or driving around. Still, she never thought Shuhua would just randomly drive this far away and she admired the younger's courage to just go around without an actual destination. The total opposite of Soojin.
"Do you need help?" She finally asked, turning around to see Shuhua leaning over the backseat and pulling a thick blanket from there, the older girl arched an eyebrow. "What are we doing exactly?"
"Miyeon always has those blankets in the backseat," Shuhua said. "and I thought it would be perfect for some outdoor snuggling and stargazing." She said before gently smacking the roof of the car.
"Stargazing in winter? If I end up with another cold I know who to blame"
"Unnie, where's your romantic spirit?" Shuhua teased. "And if you get sick I'll take care of you" She said placing the blanket on top of the car before grabbing the other one, climbing up right away while Soojin walked towards her.
"How do you know Miyeon keeps those blankets in the car?"
"Baobei, pick the snacks on my backpack for me?" The younger asked and Soojin arched an eyebrow as she leaned over the backseat and grabbed her backpack.
"Snacks? You've planned this?"
"Maybe. But I actually bought those at school" She admitted while Soojin passed the food to her, eyes then noticing Shuhua's diary at the bottom of the bag, She picked it up without thinking twice, noticing the locker on it, which wasn't there before; Suddenly it was taken from her hands and she looked up and saw Shuhua with it pressed against her chest.
"I just asked for snacks, not for you to be noisy" She almost felt bad if it wasn't for how Shuhua smirked right away, letting her know she wasn't actually upset. "Your letter is in here by the way" She added, pointing at the diary before helping Soojin to climb up the car as well so they could sit next to each other.
"My letter?" The older girl asked, confused and Shuhua nodded.
"You asked me for a letter so I'm writing you one"
Truth be told, Soojin doesn't even remember asking for it and it was likely she was mostly joking with the younger yet to think she took her words seriously and was now actually writing something for her made her eyes burn a little and she reached for the taiwanesse and gave her a hug, caughting Shuhua off guard but even then she hugged Soojin back, placing her diary aside.
"What's wrong?" The younger asked, worried. "You wanted something besides the letter because I can-"
Soojin silenced her with a kiss, just their lips pressed together in what was probably one of their most gentle and innocent-like kiss, Shuhua had her eyes open as she was caught by surprise yet again by the older girl but soon enough her eyes closed and she touched Soojin's cheek with her hand; Neither of them tried to deepen the kiss, and soon enough moved apart, touching foreheads right after.
"I didn't know you liked letters so much," Shuhua whispered and Soojin giggled.
"You're so sweet" She looked into Shuhua's eyes. "And cute"
"Just sweet and cute?"
"Stop fishing for compliments"
Shuhua laughed before kissing the other again, picking the other blanket to cover them both up as they laid down and stared at the dark sky, Soojin never really went on an actual date but this was something along the lines of a dream date.
"How did you find this place?" She eventually asked, curiosity getting the better of her. "It's so far away"
She watched as Shuhua seemed to think if she was going to be honest or not but eventually sighes.
"Last year, I… huh-" She offered Soojin a potato chip as she tried to find her words. The other took it and started to eat it. "I had made my plan to run away from home, for real this time" She confessed, feeling as Soojin had tugged at the sleeve of her coat and so she kissed her forehead gently before bringing her closer. "I got Minnie's car-"
"You stole Minnie's car?!"
"I- Details." She said. "Long story short, I ran out of gas and ended up stuck here instead, until Minnie eventually came to pick me up" She said quickly, not wanting to focus on that too much. "I would give her car back-"
"That's not the issue here" Soojin said which made the younger chuckle. "Why did you want to run away?"
"Do you like stargazing?"
Soojin pinched her cheeks, ignoring Shuhua's whine.
"Stop changing the subject!" The older girl accused which only made the taiwanesse laugh even if she knew her girlfriend was annoyed. "If you don't wanna talk about it then just say it. No need to pretend I didn't ask."
"Fine, Fine. I just don't wanna ruin the mood" Shuhua said and then moved closer. "I'll tell you some other time, what about that?"
Soojin narrowed her eyes. "Ok, that's fair. Now, why stargazing?"
"It's romantic. Just me and you, watching the stars, eating potato chips and drinking soda" Shuhua said. "With a high chance of getting a cold, But is fine because we'r
