“And she was like you got sauce in your face, you dork… and she was like wiping it and I was like…hihihihihi… and she was like hihihihihihi… so we were both like hihihihihi…”

Sooyoung have to stop sipping her frappuccino or else she might throw up from her bestfriend’s cheesiness.

“So, what are you going to do about it?”

Cheesy Yul stares at Sooyoung with her cheesy eyes… “What you mean?”

“Like after your hihihihihihi lunch with her” Sooyoung giggles mockingly at Yuri “What’s the next step?”

Oh… Yuri was too busy hihihihi about her lunch date, she didn’t have time to think about the next step. She was having so much fun thinking of her past, that she didn’t think of what she wants to happen in the future.

“Did you text her at least?”

“What?”

Why is Yuri so clueless? But don’t worry, because Cupid Soo was ready to shoot her arrows right at Yuri’s head. She yanks Yuri’s phone and shoves the phone right at Yuri’s chest.

“Text her…”

Yuri usually don’t have problems with texting girls, but this isn’t just any girl this is Yoona…

“B-but… W-what will I say?”

“Just tell her thank you, you had such an awesome time.”

Yuri’s brow scrunches seriously as she text…

“Ok, ok, ok…So, listen to this Soo… here’s my text… Hi Yoona smiley face…”

Sooyoung roll her eyes…

“Thanks for spending lunch with me, I had such an awesome time… smiley face…”

Then she turns to Sooyoung with a questioning look…

“Or should I put a merong face? What do you think is much better, a smiley face or a merong face?”

“You should put a derp face. Cause that’s what it is! A derp text. I had an awesome time?” Sooyoung gives Yuri an incredulous look “Geez Yul… any guy could just text that.”

Sooyoung didn’t do anything but deepen the frown in Yuri’s face. She put her whole heart and brain in that text.

“You have to text something that only you and Yoona could get. Make it special you know…”

Sooyoung slaps Yuri on the back…

“Don’t think so much about it, just text her how you feel… just Chillax dude… chillax…”

*

Despite staring at the computer monitor for hours, Yoona couldn’t help but have a goofy smile on her face for quite some time now. She was still feeling a lightheaded, her head totally in the clouds as all she could think about was her lunch date with Yuri.

Vibrate. Vibrate…

Taeyeon jumps up from her desk when she heard someone let out a squeal at the desk behind her.

“Hey! What’s with you?!” Taeyeon peeks her head in curiosity.

“Oh my God… She just text me…”

Taeyeon have never seen Yoona smile this much…

“Who?”

“You know who?”

“No… I don’t…”

Yoona smiles sweetly “Lover girl did…” Yoona clears out before reading her text out to Taeyeon. “Hi Yoona smiley face… Thanks for making something as simple as lunch really special… smiley face…”

Taeyeon sips her drink noisily as Yoona starts to squeal again…

“You and your brownies are both awesome… merong face…” Taeyeon roll her eyes as Yoona squeals again… “They’re worth getting a few extra pounds in… lol”

Yoona was squealing the heck out of herself that day…

“Unnie… What am I going to reply?”

“Tell her to give me a discount in Yoona’s…”

Yoona gasps at Taeyeon then turns back on her phone.

“I can’t do that… she doesn’t know that I know… I want her to tell me…”

“Geez Yoona, you’re overthinking it… the girl name her restaurant after you… you probably could tell her you have poop in your pants and she would still like you…”

Yoona gasps.. “Unnie! You’re not helping here…”

“No, I’m just saying… chillax…”

Yoona takes a deep breath…

*

Sooyoung was so close at yanking the phone of Yuri’s hand and lunging it at the wall after seeing Yuri check her phone for the millionth time in ten minutes.

“Soo, it’s been ten minutes! She haven’t replied yet…”

“Well… if she replies to you, then wait for ten minutes too before replying back…”

“Yeah… you’re right Soo, I should… I need to play hard to get…”

Beep.beep.

Yuri scrambles to get her phone and starts punching Sooyoung in excitement…

“She text me…”

“Aigoo…”

“Ahem ahem… Hey Yul… Accckkk… she called me Yul…”

Sooyoung frowns “I call you Yul…”

“Shuddup… anyways… she text me… Hey Yul smiley face… I had a great time too, smley face… you’re still the best chef ever smiley face… So, maybe next time you could bring the brownies merong face.”

“SOO! SOO! SOO! What am I going to text back?”

Cupid Soo taps her finger thoughtfully on her chin before saying...

“Hmmm… I think it’s time to take it to the next level…”

Next level? But Yuri didn’t even came out of this level alive…

“Whoah… what do you mean next level?”

“I think it’s time to bring her to the Tigers basketball game”

“Whoah…”

That’s all Yuri could say is whoah… This was definitely the next level.

“If you two are going to try it, you need to introduce her to Kwon Yuri the ultimate Tigers basketball fan.”

*

“Is there an Im Yoona here?”

Yoona turns away from her computer and looks at the delivery man holding a package.

“I’m her… why?”

“Ok… just sign here” Handing Yoona his clipboard “And here…”

As soon as the delivery man left, everyone in Yoona’s office gathered around Yoona’s desk trying to peek in the box.

“What do you think it is?” Taeyeon asks excitedly as Yoona was unwrapping the box… “It’s from lover girl, could it be food? Jewelry? Oh I know… “It’s lingerie”

Knowing Yuri’s byun personality, there was a huge chance that Yuri could have sent her one. The only thing Yoona could do now is pray silently that Yuri had the decency not to give her one, or if she did at least send it to her house.

Yoona let out a sigh of relief when she saw what’s inside the box…

“A Tiger’s basketball jersey?”

After seeing the smile Yoona has after reading Yuri’s note, Taeyeon couldn’t help but jump in curiously to see what it’s written in it. But Yoona was ninja enough to hide the note away…

Yoona
Be my good luck charm for the game?

Yuri

*

“Hi…”

Whit whiw… those cheerleaders would look like grandmas compared to how hot Yoona look in the Tiger’s basketball jersey. She looks so good, it rendered Yuri speechless.

“Ummm… you look good in that jersey…”

“Thanks for getting it for me…” Yoona’s eyes twinkle and it blinded Yuri for a bit.

“It was money well spent… here…” Yuri hands Yoona a foam finger “You have to cheer loud, okay? Like this… LET’S GO TIGERS LET’S GO!!! LET’S GO TIGERS LET’S GO!!!”

Yoona couldn’t help but chuckle at how adorable Yuri is… It was definitely a new side of Yuri and Yoona can’t complain one bit, she likes this Yuri more…

*

“YES!!!! THANK YOU JESUS CHRIST!!!!!”

“WHY GOD WHY????!!!!”

Yuri’s faith in God changes every time there is a miss or made shot… And Yoona couldn’t help but be more into the girl than the game…

“WHAT THE HELL?! THAT WAS OBVIOUSLY A FOUL!!! ARE YOU EFFING BLIND???!!! BOOOOO!!!!! BOOOOO!!!!!”

Yoona bites her lips to keep herself from laughing at Yuri who was screaming her heart out…

“Scream louder, Yul… I don’t think they could hear you…”

Yuri plops back to her seat and starts to nibble on Yoona’s popcorn… Yoona turns and sees people exiting the building…

“People are leaving, Yul…”

“LET THEM! THOSE PEOPLE ARE NOT REAL FANS…” Yuri cups her hand around “DON’T WORRY TIGERS I WILL STAY WITH YOU TIL THE END!!!”

And Yuri and Yoona stayed until the last buzzer.

*

“Hey… hey…”

Yoona nudges a lifeless Yuri as they were walking back to the parking lot.

“It’s okay Yul…”

Yuri just remains quiet, her head wasn’t in the right place right now, all her mind could process was the heartbreaking loss.

“Yul?”

Yoona asks in worry as she sees Yuri’s eyes b in tears and Yuri’s lips quivering…

“Yul? Are you…” Yoona peers in to see Yuri’s face “Are you crying?”

Yuri couldn’t hold out the pain that was stabbing her chest and pour all of her frustrations out…

WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH

Yoona took a step away when Yuri starts to cry, but not a few seconds pass and Yoona took the sobbing girl around her arm, letting Yuri cry in her chest.

“They fought so hard, why is life so unfair?”

Yoona tries to soothe Yuri’s broken heart, by cooing softly at her.

“That’s how life goes… Yul…”

“But still” Yuri sniffles “I can’t believe it… is there a God? Is God cheering for the other team? Why can’t he let the tigers win?”

“I wish I knew Yul…” Yoona pats Yuri on the back… “I wish I knew…”

*

“OMFG YOU CRIED?!”

Yuri couldn’t even dare look at Sooyoung in the face after she reveals what happen to her.

“I couldn’t help it… I was so emotional that time…” Yuri defended herself…

“I should slap you for being such a WUSS!!! You know what I’m going to call you now? I’m going to call you Kwon Wussy! Cause that’s what you are, a wuss…”

Now Yuri really regrets telling Soo…

“Whatever… Soo…”

“So, what are you going to do about it, Wussy?”

“What?”

“Does Yoona plan to see you again? I mean if I were her, I won’t date such a wussy. Pffft…” Sooyoung drinks her frapuccino noisily “All talk and no game… that’s you Kwon Wussy!”

“YAH! I thought you’re my buddy?”

“no… sorry, I divorce you Kwon Wussy…”

“Stop calling me that!”

*

Yuri smiles thankfully at the receptionist who was making googly eyes at her. But it didn’t stop at the receptionist, everyone in Yoona’s office are giving her the I’m going to rip you out of your clothes look. And Yuri quickly went to the safest looking one among those creatures, the elementary school girl.

“Hi…”

“Oh lover girl hi…”

“Huh?” Yuri looks surprise cause she was sure she haven’t met the girl before…

“Yoona has a meeting with the bosses, but just wait on her desk… she’ll be out in…”

And just like it was on cue…

“Oh there she is… Look Yoona, lover girl is here…”

Yoona’s eyes widen as Taeyeon just spurted out her nickname right in front of Yuri.

“W-who’s lover girl?” Yuri asks…

“Are you crazy?” Taeyeon scoffs “You’re lover girl… that’s what Yoona calls you… lover girl…”

“Wae?”

Yuri looks at Yoona trying to figure out the stuff she just learned but Yoona was blushing too hard to care.

“Ummm… let’s go Yul…”

Yoona quickly pulls Yuri away from everyone’s maniacal looks.

“I’m sorry to barge in like this, but I brought lunch would you like to eat it with me…”

AWWWWWWWWW….

“GO GET YOUR LOVER GIRL YOONA!!!”

Yoona swore to God, those insoles are going straight to the trash…

*

It was pretty quiet during their whole lunch. Both girls suffering after their ultimate humiliation, none of them knew how to even start a conversation.

“I’m sorry I cried…”

It was Yuri who spoke up first…

“What?”

“I’m surprise you still want to hang out with me after what happen…”

Yuri’s gaze was stuck on her bento box and Yoona couldn’t help but admire how adorable the girl is, more and more each second.

“I think it was cute…” Yoona confessed

And just like that, the frustrated pout turned into a hopeful grin. “Ummm… you did?”

“Yeah… I think I like this side more than the cocky Kwon Yuri, I first knew…”

“But you like that cocky Kwon Yuri, right?”

Yoona leans back in the park bench before letting out a sigh. It was almost two years ago, but Yoona remember every second of their moments together from the first time they’ve met until the time where she picked Seo over Yuri.

“It was a different kind of like…” Yoona then looks teasingly at Yuri “I think we both know what kind of like it was…”

Yuri answers Yoona back with the same teasing grin.

“Well… we did something I like… so maybe this time, we should do something you would like… do you still like to travel?”

“Well… I stop traveling after ummm…” Yoona didn’t want to say when she and Seo were together “Anyways, I can’t travel as much too because I work…” Yoona pouts thoughtfully

“Well, I’m part of a book club.” Yoona says excitedly.

“Whoah… you know how to read?”

Yoona punch Yuri playfully in the arm…

“No… this is good Yoona, were knowing things about each other… and I like it… I like a smart girlfriend…”

Both Yuri and Yoona had a teasing smile after hearing the word girlfriend…

“I like reading books, like when I’m waiting for my flight or I’m on the plane… but since I’m not traveling anymore, I could finally sit down and spend time reading… I like it because I get the chance to talk to other people what they think about the book and it’s good because I get to see different points that other people have.”

Yuri just felt herself falling more for Yoona each second.

“We’re having a meeting in my place.”

“Could ummm…”

Yoona turns at the nervous looking Yuri.

“Could ummm… could I join the meeting?”

“Of course…”

“COOL!” Yuri then had a brilliant idea “I could prepare something for them if you want…”

“Really? You’re ok doing that?”

“Of course… I’m the one who offered… So, yeah…”

“I would love for you to join…”

*

Yoona tries to sneak in behind the gorgeous chef, she was about to wrap her arms around Yuri’s slim waist but she caught herself before she could do it. She likes the pace that they’re going through now, she doesn’t want to rush it at all.

“So, did you read your book?”

Yuri didn’t know how to say it, she wasn’t into books but she did red the summary in wikipedia…

“Ummm not really… But I know that the guy dies in the end.”

“Well, maybe you would learn more about the book during the meeting…”

“Maybe…” Yuri shrugs… “Here, try this…”

Yuri feeds Yoona a fudge brownie…

“How’s my brownie?”

Yuri was definitely an awesome cook…

“Makes my brownie taste like crap.”

Yuri smiles proudly before continually stirring what’s brewing in the pot. Yuri might now be into books, but she took the time to research what kind of recipes works best for a book club. She wanted to make Yoona the best one out there.

*

While Yoona have the nickname of making people fall for her in 3 seconds, Yuri has a nickname too… She could make clothes fall off in 3 seconds. Yoona was beautiful while Yuri was just devilishly charming. She knew the right words to say at the right moment.

The book club should just change their name into a Yuri club because in one night, she got those girls twisted around her pretty little finger.

She didn’t do it on purpose though, she was just that good…

While Yuri went back to the kitchen to check on the dessert, the members of the book/Yuri club took this opportunity to hound Yoona about the girl.

“You two aren’t dating, right?”

It somehow worried Yoona, that Yuri was just a natural flirt who enjoys toying with people’s emotions. She totally drew all the attention to her. Even if she knows Yuri’s attention was on her, judging by Yuri’s stares, still she couldn’t help but worry.

Once a player, always a player? Is that the same case for Yuri too?

“Us? Ummm well… why?”

“Good… cause I think I would go for her.”

Yuri broke the silence when she announce…

“Ok… I got dinner all set…”

“So, ummm… Yuri…“

“Yeah?”

But before any of the book club members can make a move on Yuri, Yuri have already stop them by affectionately wrapping her arm around Yoona’s waist. As if proudly announcing that Yoona was her girl. Yuri have cling on to Yoona the entire night, her arm around Yoona’s waist or her hand wrap around Yoona’s hand…

The whole club could have all their attention at her, but her attention was all on Yoona.

The night ended with the girls saying their good night to Yuri rather than Yoona.

“Good night Yul, you should come to the next book club meeting…”

“Yes…” Another girl step in “We’re having it in my house next…”

A few more flirtatious advances and jealous stares at Yoona and finally Yoona and Yuri were left alone.

“Hey… I think your book club likes me…” Yuri says casually…

“A little too much, don’t you think?”

Yuri have been itching to pull Yoona close to her the whole night and now that it’s just the two of them, there wasn’t anything stopping her. She wraps both her arms around Yoona’s waist and presses herself closely to the girl.

“Could you tell me what the book was about?”

Yoona snake her arms slowly around Yuri’s shoulders. “Huh?”

“I couldn’t concentrate because I was too busy staring at you…”

Yoona slaps the girl playfully in her arm, before Yuri buries her head in the nook of Yoona’s neck. The two remained quiet for a little bit, swaying softly to the imaginary song in their head.

“I hate it when reality distracts me from thinking of you…” Yuri softly whispers…

“What are we going to do about that?” Yoona whispers back…

Yuri smiles before leaning her forehead against Yoona. “Ummm… be in my reality too…”

Yoona pouts cutely… “I thought I already am?”

“It’s not enough…”

“What do you mean?”

“I want to do everything with you, I want to hold your hand, to kiss you good morning, good afternoon and good night, to be the first person you would text when you get up and the last one before you go to sleep, I want to pick you up and take you home…”

Yuri traces feathery kisses along Yoona’s neck after every confession.

“I want you to be the girl that I would wake up to, be the girl that I fall asleep with…”

Now Yuri’s gentle kisses, turned sensual as she nibbles along Yoona’s jawline...

“Be the girl I could call mine, be the girl that own me… Yoona, stop staying in my dreams and be my reality…”

And Yoona have enough of Yuri’s teasing, crashing her lips on Yuri’s…

The bedroom was just a few steps away, but it’s a few steps too far and they have waited two long years to be with each other again. So, right now the living room rug is just perfect. A few frustrated grunts was let out by both girls when buttons and zippers were taking longer to work, as if teasing them more that eventually Yuri just ripped the everything out.

Yuri was ready to take Yoona again, the girl trapped underneath her, both her wrists lock on top of her head while Yuri’s hand tiptoes down Yoona’s flat stomach. But just as Yuri was about to take her, she saw the smile on Yoona’s face and the animal in Yuri tamed down.

This wasn’t just any girl, this was her girl and Yuri will take care of her girl.
She let go of Yoona’s wrist and pressing her forehead against Yoona, leaning closer to lay kisses on Yoona’s lips. Every kiss longer than the once before, Yoona wraps her arms around Yuri’s neck, pulling her close because all she needed was one kiss, one kiss they could get lost in forever.

And for once in both their lives, everything just felt so right. Their tongues searching for more, it eas only when Yoona felt Yuri touched her that their kisses stop, because just like before Yuri’s touches renders her senseless. Yoona felt so helpless as Yuri took over her, but it was a beautiful kind of helpless, something she didn’t mind getting trapped in. She needed Yuri to take her deeper, but before she could even say it, she just let out a smile because it was as if Yuri knew exactly what she needed, giving her even more than what she craved for.

Moans have erupted across the room, fingers digging deeper to whatever it could hold on to… But Yuri didn’t just want Yoona like this, she wanted to hear it… she needed to hear it…

In the middle of their lovemaking, Yuri finally pleads…

“Be mine…”

And Yuri thought that Yoona didn’t hear, cause her eyes were still shut, only thing coming out of were pants and gasps… But just as Yuri was about to ask again, Yoona finally opens her eyes, smiling back between her gasps, and finally managing to let out those words.

“I have always been yours…”
