Yuri was having that kind of a week, where her parents are gnawing at her for closely failing school again, where her allowance for next week have already run out, and lastly how unsure she was of what might happen to her in the future.

People might define it as the worst week of someone’s life, but for Yuri it was simply the best.

It was all because Yoonhee was with her. And Yuri couldn’t help but get fascinated with Yoonhee each second. No matter how tough or how people seem to pull Yuri down, Yoonhee have always magically raise Yuri up. And Yuri would forever be thankful, that Yoonhee chose to be in her life.

Their first kiss was followed by a hundreds more, there wasn’t a moment that Yuri didn’t feel she wasn’t happy. She found a friend and somebody to love in Yoonhee. But it was strange that even if she was damn sure about how she feels for the doe eyed girl, still she couldn’t find the right time to say it.

She wanted her first I love you to Yoonhee to be more than just a confession. She wanted it to be a lasting memory, something that could make Yoonhee smile when she remembers. And hopefully, something that could make Yoonhee says those 3 words back.

“What you doing?”

Yuri crawls in the space between Yoonhee…

“I’m just looking over your sketches. I just want to say how talented you are.”

Yoonhee turns to Yuri her eyes full of pride for the tanned beauty. And the cute blush on Yuri’s face looks quite adorable that Yoonhee couldn’t help but kiss the other girl softly on the tip of her nose. That didn’t help the situation at all and Yuri have to cup her cheeks to hide her blushing face, too bad it couldn’t hide her goofy grin.

“Have you tried to show your works over to the Art department?

“Ummm… I don’t know…” Yuri starts to fiddle with her shirt. “I’m a bit…”

“Hey… hey” Yoonhee knows Yuri well by now, and she took Yuri’s jittery hands, squeezing it gently until she felt Yuri’s calming down. “I’m not saying it’s going to be easy, I know you’re scared but you got to start somewhere.”

“I know… I’m just… well… You’re right, I’m scared, because I guess this is what I love to do so if people tell me that I’m not good at it…”

“You can’t please everybody, Yul…”

“I know…”

“But were not going to stop until we find that person who does…” Yoonhee smiles at Yuri reassuringly. “I’m always here, ok?”

“Ok…”

After reassuring Yuri with a smile, Yoonhee leans closer to secure her promise with a kiss.

*

Yuri could only chuckle when she sees the beat up expression in the sleeping Yoona. Yuri buries her head in the pillow and continue to chuckle.

“I’m sorry for making your baby cousin drunk, Yoonhee…”

Yuri softly brushes the hair out of Yoona’s face.

“You’re right Yoonhee, Yoona is something special.”

*

Yoona was still busy dreaming when the feel of the bed moving, shot her back up to reality. But when the dreaded hangover drifted at Yoona, Yoona fell back into bed.

“Ugghhhh…”

“I got you some Tylenol for the pain, just try to sleep through it.”

Yoona pouted, she wished that Yuri would stay to take care of her, but instead Yuri looks like she’s about to go somewhere.

“Where are you going?”

“I’m going to workout.”

Yoona pushed herself off the bed.

“I’m going with you…”

This was the girl who could barely stood up by now, and now she’s getting off the bed.

“What?!”

“I want to work out too…”

Yoona hates to exercise, but she hated being apart from Yuri worse.

If there is one thing that Yuri learned with her time from Yoona, it’s that never bother arguing with the girl.

“Fine… now let’s go”

*

After making Yoona suffer in the threadmill, looking like a hamster running in her hamster wheel. Yuri decided to ask the girl’s forgiveness by taking her to a smoothie shop. But they didn’t even step in yet when Yoona wouldn’t take one step inside the door.

“What?”

Yoona scowls as if Yuri have just put her into torture chamber.

“I’m not into fruity stuff…”

“You don’t like veggies, at least eat your fruits…” Yuri was about to pull Yoona in but Yoona wouldn’t budge. Yuri growls pulling the stubborn girl but Yoona fights back, kicking Yuri in the shin.

“WHAT THE FU- ?! DID YOU JUST KICK ME?!”

“I can punch you too…” Yoona pulls out her fist… “I want chocolate not fruits!”

“Chocolate is good in moderation. Eat your fruits.”

“Hmmp!”

Yoona just hmmp, staring out angrily at Yuri and Yuri just growls in defeat. Since when did she became helpless to Yoona’s stares?

*

And Yuri was close to committing homicide when Yoona wouldn’t even sniff the chocolates she bought her.

“I don’t like this brand.”

“Oh really? What do you want then?”

“Godiva. It’s my favorite.”

Yuri didn’t bother arguing. “What flavor do you want?”

“Everything.”

“It’s called favorite for a reason, there should only be one.”

“Well… I haven’t tasted it so I don’t know.”

Yoona and her ridiculousness again is going to drive Yuri to jump off a cliff.

“Wait! You haven’t tasted any of it and you say it’s your favorite?”

“Well… I tasted it in my head and it was deliciouso…”

Yuri could only growl. “Sometimes I wonder why I even bother.”

But before Yuri could grumble some more, her phone started ringing.

“Hello?”

“You’re having so much fun back there, you hardly call us anymore.”

“I…” But before Yuri could continue, she shot a death glare over the girl trying to listen in on her phone conversation… Yoona almost tipped over trying to hear but when she realize that she got caught. She sat up quickly like a cadet in front of her officer.

“I knew there was a good reason why you’re back there…”

Yuri could almost hear Jaehyuk asking her for something. “What is it Jae? Enlighten me”

“Two words Yul, Park Gyuri.”

And Jaehyuk doesn’t need to elaborate, the name Park Gyuri is a definition in its self.

“The fashion model who we have been chasing after?”

“Yes. And she’s planning to go relax back home after the fashion week. So we were thinking this is a good way to lure her in. Of course you’re doing the luring.”

“I’m a fashion designer, don’t you pay people for that job?”

“We do. But the thing is, Gyuri personally requested for you.”

“but I’m…”

“It’s just a weekend thing, Yul… Knowing you, you could probably win her over in an hour.”

“I…”

Yuri’s eyes search for the girl beside her, but when it realized that Yoona wasn’t beside her anymore. She shot back up, her eyes roaming every inch of the park for the girl. And Yuri finally let out a sigh of relief when she spotted Yoona, helping the gardener water the flower beds.

“Hey Yul.. you ok?”

Yuri’s eyes remained glued to what they wanted to see.

“Ahhh yes…”

Her eyes, her heart, her everything find calmness again knowing Yoona was just right there.

*

“Hey… you better come back, okay?”

“I will. It’s just a weekend work thing that I need to do…” Yuri’s gaze is in every face in that room bidding her farewell, but why does she feel slightly disappointed to not see Yoona there?

“She’s upstairs…”

Tiffany don’t need to say the girl’s name, in a way both her and Yuri and every girl in the room knew who that she meant.

“Why don’t you go up to say goodbye to Yoona?”

Sooyoung of course have no problem saying the girl’s name. Yuri pretended to check her watch.

“I have to go… it’s no big deal” Yuri shrugs it off even though she knew that she was practically lying to herself. It really was a big deal, simply because Yoona have become a big deal for Yuri.

*

Yoona could only let out a frustrated Huff to the ceiling.

“You are right unnie, Yuri is hard to say goodbye too…”

She sighed again, hoping her unnie could shed some light to her.

“Why do you even like her unnie? Yuri is so ugh… so cocky and thinks she’s so cool. When she’s not, she’s a losah! Kwon Yuri losah!”

Yoona then starts whimpering, beating the heck out of the pillow. Yoona’s ear then popped up when she hears her phone ringing.

From: Yuri
What you want from Seoul?

And Yoona’s face was about to break with how wide she start to grin, then she frowns before replying.

From: Yoona
Nothing.

From: Yuri
Ok.

Yoona’s frown got deeper. Ok? Ok? Just ok? Does this mean she’s done texting?

From: Yoona
Don’t text and drive.

From: Yuri
Yes boss

Yoona giggles…

“She called me boss.”

Yoona frowns like a boss.

“I must act like a boss.”

From: Yoona
I said don’t text and drive just text me when you get there.

From: Yuri
Alright then, I’ll text you in an hour.

Yoona struggled for a reply…

Ok. Take care

Ok. Drive safely

Ok. TTYL

Until Yoona finally settled with.

From: Yoona
Ok. take care. Drive safely TTYL.

Yoona let out a sigh again. It’s going to be the longest hour of her life.

*

Yuri lets out a frustrated sigh before setting her phone in the coffee cup holder. It’s going to be the longest hour of her life.

*

Out of all of Yoonhee’s stuff, the one thing that Yoona felt was the most precious was her unnie’s diary.

But it was more than just a diary, Yoona felt like it’s more of love letters to Yuri.

The Yuri that Yoona would read in her unnie’s diary, felt like a whole different person. The Yuri she red about was sweet, romantic and adorably shy. The Yuri that Yoona knows now is cocky, heartless and just the complete opposite. And Yoona wonder if the old Yuri that her unnie knew and loved was still underneath all the arrogance.

Yoona have always felt giddy reading the first part or the happier part of Yoonhee’s relationship with Yuri. She didn’t knew that Yuri had this cheesiness in her, her texts to her unnie, the little surprises and her sweet words.

And Yoona wished she could have seen how cute they are together. Every word in that diary speaks volumes of how much they truly adore each other.

But Yoona could only guess that it wasn’t just Yuri who changed. She felt a part of her changed a lot too. Because for sure she wasn’t feeling giddy anymore when she reads it, she would whisper a forgiveness to her unnie for getting jealous.

Yoona leafs through the pages, trying to skip the happier parts until she ends up at almost the last pages of the diary.

Sept 23

I couldn’t have been prouder than anybody when I see how Geun’s suk usual sullen face, suddenly melted into admiration as he looks at Yuri’s portfolio.

“You did this?”

“Oh no… ummm… my friend did it”

“Well, your friend is pretty good.”

“I know. She’s unbelievable.”

I could guess that the slight flush on my face gave it all away, that Yuri wasn’t merely just a friend.

“But you know Yoonhee. It’s not only talent that could help someone get somewhere, connections is what takes people to get notice.”

“Oh…”

That’s all I could say, here I was believing that I could finally surprise Yuri but it looks like I was going to come up empty handed. But I wasn’t going to give up.

“Do you ummm… know anybody in the fashion business?”

Geun Suk lets out this arrogant chuckle. “Of course I do.”

“Really? Do you think you could help out Yuri?”

“What is it in for me?”

I knew Geun Suk wouldn’t let this go without something to benefit him.

“What would you like?”

*

And Yoona shuts the diary, she don’t need to read any further to know what Geun Suk would have wanted.

Her sordid thoughts were interrupted when her phone starts vibrating.

From: Yuri
Hey, I’m here…

From: Yoona
Wow… you’re there already? But it wasn’t even an hour yet.

From: Yuri
Lol… I know.

That was the advantage of texting, because Yuri was just halfway to Seoul, she just text a little white lie so she and Yoona could text earlier.

*

Park Gyuri live the kind of life where people would beg for her to even look at them. So, what Kwon Yuri is doing right now, is nothing short of an insult.

“I didn’t knew you had someone Yuri?”

Yuri finally looks away from her phone

“What?”

“Obviously if someone is that glued to their phone, then they must be texting someone hella special”

When Yuri realize how ridiculous she was acting in front of the potential client. She quickly stuffs her phone back in her purse.

“No. just a friend.”

“Must be a very special friend. You ok?”

“Huh? Yeah… why did you ask?”

“You have been rubbing your ears, do they hurt or something?”

Yuri’s eyes widen at the realization, lowering her arms down to her waist.

“No, I wasn’t…”

“Yes, you were”

“I was not”

Yes. You were. There is nothing wrong with rubbing your ears, if you want Yuri, I could rub it for you”

“NO!” Yuri almost jumps out of her seat and covers her ears. “My ears are just for her. You can’t touch my ears.”

Gyuri’s eyes just roll out of their sockets, if she knew that the irrepressible Kwon Yuri is nothing more but this huge dork, then she might not have agreed to this dinner. But Gyuri could just find herself smiling again, Kwon Yuri redefined the meaning of the word cute.

*

Yoona’s unnies watch as Yoona didn’t even finish her dinner before getting up from the table.

“I’m done.” Even if all her food was still there. “Thank you unnie…”

The unnies waited until Yoona went back upstairs to wonder what have happened to her.

“What is wrong with her today?” Sunny finally aired out what everyone is thinking about.

Tiffany just smile, looking at the two empty spot in the dinner table.

“I think she just misses someone.”

*

Yoona returns back to her bed, reading her Yoonhee unnie’s diary almost religiously.

*

Oct 3

I avoided Yuri for a week after that…

Yuri never approaches me in public, but I could feel the hurt that I put her through when I wont even return her gaze and her smile. But she would be faithfully waiting outside my dorm door and for one week straight I would come up, a lame excuse one after another just so she could go away.

But she didn’t give up, it was during my finals week and she was waiting outside my class with a homemade kimbap and a hopeful smile on her face. And I hated myself for it, for taking away her smile, for breaking her heart. But Geun Suk made it perfectly clear, if I wanted Yuri to have a chance with the fashion industry. I must give up what we have and take him instead.

Yuri was just too talented for someone to just dampen her dreams out like that. I was just someone, she could easily find someone to replace me. Though I could barely accept that thought.

Yuri took a few steps toward me, her smile getting weaker by the inch she draw closer. But once again, I turned away instead choosing to be with my so called friends. And I didn’t have to stare back to see that I just left Yuri once again standing there.

*

That night Yuri was once again waiting outside my dorm room, sitting patiently by my doorstep. I didn’t even look at her as I hurried to the door.

“I…Yoonhee… I made you kimbap.”

“I already ate, thanks…” I start to fidget with my keys, but she quickly stilled my hand.

“Is something wrong? Did I do something wrong?”

I couldn’t bare look at her, because it wasn’t her who was wrong it was all me. I did this to us.

“Nothing. Ok?”

“Then, why do I feel like you’re avoiding me?” Yuri’s voice didn’t sound louder than a whisper but I perfectly heard it.

“I’m not, ok?! I’m just tired!”

Yuri stepped back, I have never raised my voice at anyone, especially not at her. But my frustrations were getting to me.

“Oh ok…” Yuri move closer to me, she was about to give me a kiss but I turned away…

“Let’s not do this anymore, Yul…”

“W-what?”

“I get nightmares about this. About us. The stuff that people would put us through when they found out. I just don’t think this is worth it. I’m sorry for leading you on like this. ”

I thought Yuri just disappeared because of how quiet it has been, but when I look up, she was still there, silently crying.

“Here.” She pushes the lunchbox to me and forces a smile through her tears. “just in case you might get hungry tonight…” She smiles weakly before turning to walk away.

I wish you knew how much I love you…

*

And Yoona wished that she knew what have happened next, but the words stop there, the next pages were empty.

*

“Yuri, why don’t you stay over for the night?”

Gyuri was not giving up on Yuri, trying one more attempt before the night is over.

“Sorry… but I don’t sleep on the couch.”

“Who says anything about sleeping?”

Yuri could hear what Gyuri was insinuating, but she acted dumb and she learned this dumb act from the best. Yoona was a great teacher.

“I can’t, someone is waiting for me back home.”

“I’m sure she could wait for one more day…” Gyuri lips curves in a y smile.

“She probably could.”

Yuri scoffs as a realization suddenly hit her.

“But I miss her too much already…”

*

“KWON!!!!”

Yoona quickly bolted up the bed and run out of the room, but she tries to remain cool as she steps out. Not wanting Yuri to see how badly she missed her.

“I thought you’re going to come back tomo- WHOOO CHOCOLATES… Mmmm…”

Sooyoung didn’t even get to finish what she was about to say, because all her mind was registering was in the pure delight of the hershey’s chocolate bar she received from Yuri. Everyone in the room, received one large bar of Hershey’s milk chocolate inside their paper bags.

Yuri was thankful she was wearing her dark sunglasses or else everyone would see how her eyes were just locked up at the girl walking down the stairs.

“Here’s yours…” Yuri handed Yoona a paper bag similar to the paper bag that everyone has. “I’m going to sleep…” Yuri stretches herself… “I’m beat. I’ll see you all in the morning.”

That’s it? Yoona grumbles to herself disappointingly, Yuri didn’t even ask how she’s been. And Yoona just grumbles watching the heartless girl walking up to her room.

Yoona grumbles some more but at least she got chocolates, or should she say chocolate since Yuri is a cheapskate and won’t give anything more but one Hershey bar.

Yoona blew out an air of frustration and digs into her paper bag, she was about to wolf down (she’s a stress eater) on her hershey’s bar, when…

“What the?”

Yoona stares down at her chocolate bar, before looking back at her unnies chocolates.

“Hey… Yoona you’re not going to eat your chocolate?”

“I’ll eat it upstairs…”

Yoona runs upstairs to enjoy her Godiva chocolate.

*

While the world reads stories to help them sleep, Yuri have unconsciously found a new habit to help her sleep. She would unconsciously read back to her and Yoona’s every text message.

“YOU!”

The goofy grin on Yuri’s face disappeared when the idiot storm into her room.

“I’m tired, Yoona…”

“Ummm… I…”

“What is it?”

“Thankyou…” Yoona grumbles under her breath.

“What? I can’t hear you…” Yuri did, she just enjoyed teasing the other girl.

“I said… thankyou…”

Yuri mockingly stuttered, Yoona feels herself turning green and bursting into a Yoona-hulk with how pissed Yuri is making her.

“MEANIE!”

“GO AWAY AND LET ME SLEEP!”

“HMMMMMPPPP!!!!”

Yuri chuckles triumphantly before waving the girl away.

“Good night Yoona…” Yuri mocks Yoona in a singsong voice.

“ARGHHHHH!!!!!”

Yoona says good night to Yuri with a loud slam on the door.

*

Yoona stomps angrily to her room, grumbling so much more until she caught sight of the thing on her bed.

Yoona's chocolates


She slowly approaches it, as if it was a bomb ticking away…

Yoona picks up the little note.

Yoona,

Try each one and tell me which one is your favorite. :p

Yuri
