Chapter 3
The heart never lies
"Unnie, open this for me please?"
Joohyun felt a nudge on her arm, but ignored it and continued closing her eyes.
"Unnie"
Joohyun felt another nudge, causing her to groan and scoot away from the person sitting beside her.
"Baechu unnie"
Another nudge. Harder this time.
Joohyun cursed and opened her eyes.
"Kang Seulgi! If you don't stop-"
"Argh! My head is hurting again." Seulgi held her head and closed her eyes tightly.
Joohyun pursed her lips and muttered another curse before sighing in defeat.
"Fine. Give me that thing"
Seulgi's expression quickly changed. She smiled and handed the bag of chips to Joohyun.
Joohyun rolled her eyes before tearing the bag of chips open. She then handed it back to Seulgi, who happily took it.
"Now, can you please stop bothering me? I'm trying to sleep here" Joohyun said tiredly.
Seulgi just nodded while happily eating her chips.
"Thank you" Joohyun said sarcastically before closing her eyes again.
But instead of sleeping, Joohyun's mind went back to what happened earlier, that landed her in this situation.
flashback
Joohyun blushed while gripping the front side of her bathrobe tightly. She couldn't believe that that happened.
Seulgi. On. Her. Chest.
Joohyun shook her head and glared at the unconcious girl, lying on the floor next to the door.
She wants to leave Seulgi just like that, but since she still have a conscience, so she decided to check on the younger girl instead.
After making sure that Seulgi was still alive. Joohyun dragged her inside and then brought the girl's bag inside aswell, before closing the door.
She hoped no one saw her, because she don't want them to think that she murdered someone.
Joohyun sighed and then ran her fingers through her wet hair.
"Sh!t! I still have to prepare."
She pursed her lips and then looked at the unconcious girl again before leaving her and running back upstairs.
Joohyun quickly got dressed and blow her hair dry. She then tied her hair into a ponytail first before putting a light make-up on.
Once she was satisfied with her appearance. She grabbed her luggage and dragged it downstairs.
"Joohyun unnie?" Seulgi, who had just regained consciousness, looked at Joohyun and then looked around in confusion. "Why am I on the floor?"
"Don't you remember?" Joohyun raised her brows as she walked down the last set of stairs and walked towards the younger girl.
Seulgi slowly stood up and frowned. "Well.. I remembered uncle telling me to come here, to make sure you won't just leave without me.."
Joohyun rolled her eyes, but let the younger girl continue.
"..And then when I rang the bell, no one answered. So I leaned on the door to listen if someone was inside, but then the door opened and-" Seulgi gasped before looking at Joohyun's face and then at her chest.
Joohyun blushed and quickly covered it with her arms. "Yah! What are you looking at?!"
Seulgi blushed as well and looked away. "Nothing"
Joohyun cleared and brought her hands back down. "Are you okay, now?"
"Huh?" Seulgi looked at the older girl in confusion.
Joohyun pointed at Seulgi's head. "Didn't you hit your head hard earlier, that's why you fainted?"
Seulgi tilted her head, trying to process the older girl's words. She blushed again when she remembered the real reason why she fainted.
"Yeah. It's soft- I mean it hurts. Yeah. My head hurts. Arghh" Seulgi groaned and held the left side of her head, while slowly walking towards the couch.
Joohyun looked at the girl suspiciously. "Didn't you hit the other side of your head?"
Seulgi paused, eyes wide in panic. She blinked a few times before continuing with her act.
"My whole head hurts, actually. And I feel dizzy." Seulgi sat down on the couch and continued groaning in pain.
Joohyun just observed the girl. She felt like Seulgi was lying to her.
When Seulgi acted like she was going to vomit, Joohyun quickly reacted. She ran towards the kitchen and grabbed a bowl.
"Yah! Don't do that here!" Joohyun said in panic while placing the bowl near Seulgi's mouth.
Thankfully Seulgi didn't vomit and just coughed.
"I'm alright unnie. I just thought something was going to come up for a second there" Seulgi chuckled weakly and then leaned back on the couch with a groan.
Joohyun placed the bowl on the small table. "Let's just go to the hospital. To make sure you're not-"
"No!"
Joohyun jumped a bit at Seulgi's loud voice.
Seulgi realized what she did and cleared .
"I mean.. no, please unnie. I'm scared they might need to inject me with something. I'm scared of needles."
Joohyun stared at the younger girl for a few seconds before sighing in defeat.
"Fine. I'll just go get an ice pack"
Seulgi gave her a small smile before leaning back on the couch again and closing her eyes.
Joohyun texted her friends first, to inform them that Seulgi and her will be a bit late.
They asked her what happened, she lied and told them her mother needed her to do something real quick.
They believed it and told her that they would wait for them.
Joohyun sighed and got the ice pack. She went back to the living room and handed it to Seulgi.
"Here"
Seulgi opened her eyes and took it before placing it on the bump on her head. "Thanks unnie"
Joohyun sat down next to the girl.
"I'm sorry"
"Huh?" Seulgi looked at the older girl in confusion.
"You hurt your head because of me. I'm sorry"
"Oh. It's alright. I'm sure you didn't do it on purpose. I'm sorry too for accidentally landing on your...you know" Seulgi blushed again while looking away.
Joohyun blush as well. "It's okay. I've forgiven you already."
"So... we're okay now?" Seulgi asked without looking at the older girl. Still embarrased.
"Yeah. We're good"
They got into a comfortable silence.
Joohyun leaned back on the couch and closed her eyes.
It was the first time Joohyun didn't feel like strangling the younger girl.
She thought Seulgi wasn't that bad after all, and maybe they would be closer eventually.
That was if Seulgi doesn't blurt out stupid things.
"Unnie?"
"Hmm?"
"What's your bra size?"
Seulgi yelped when a hard smack landed on the back of her head. Making it hurt again.
end of flashback
Joohyun didn't feel guilty at first for smacking the younger girl. But when she realized that Seulgi was literary her ticket to busan, she changed her mind.
She apologized to Seulgi, but the younger girl didn't accept it.
Seulgi even said that she would just stay at home to rest her aching head, away from Joohyun.
In desperation, Joohyun promised the younger girl that she would do what Seulgi wanted for a whole month. Just so the younger girl would accompany her.
Seulgi thought about it for a moment, before finally agreeing and accepting Joohyun's apology, with big and devilish smile on her face.
And it was that moment Joohyun knew she made a huge mistake.
Joohyun sighed and shifted on her seat.
She still couldn't believe, that she was now stuck with the girl, she dislikes the most, for a whole month.
"Is she still sleeping?"
