Chapter 9

“ What I tend to do when it comes to you

I see only the good, selective memory “

I can’t remember to forget you, Shakira Ft. Rihanna

Scrolling and tapping lifelessly on her touchscreen phone, Yoona heard a car engine stop in front of her house, but she still continued, uninterested on whoever or whatever that was.

Minutes later, energetic knocks came echoing in her premises, Mario wasn’t threatened or anything instead he rushed for the door and scratched the door knob open.

As if Mario and Yoona had the same nerve wiring she wasn’t threatened as well with intrusion, she only gave the tall and dark unnie of hers a glance and then back to her business.

“ well – well – well – what do we have here? – 10 messages, 7 missed calls and you didn’t even have the decency to put in on voice mail! “

Yoona only scratches her head and bows at her unnie.

“ what the heck is the matter with you child?! “

Sooyoung huffed for a bit whilst looking around the living room where Yoona lounges in at the moment, and it wasn’t neglected at all, surprisingly it was the opposite, tidy.

“ so let me get this straight – oh wait you ain’t straight any more cause – hahaha – “ she thought starting off with an inside joke would lighten up the atmosphere, unfortunately it didn’t.

“ ……… “  Yoona glanced at her motionlessly again then back to whatever that is on her phone.

“ – alright….bad joke.bad joke – “

Sooyoung ran out of motivating words to give, she went along with Yoona’s silence instead, mimicking her every move, staring at her phone, shifting in her seat for a comfortable position, alas

“ UGH “ It didn’t take long, she slumped her back and rolled her eyes in severe boredom.

“ I’ll be talking in all honesty here kid so listen well “

“ this …..Yuri ..person…. “

Mentioning such a name, suddenly gave life to Yoona, finally gazing at her unnie with all her apparent attention.

“ …what made you …..uhmmm …like her this much…? “ great, just as Sooyoung needed to form the right gentle approaches and she is having a hard time, probably half of it was karma, from all her sweet scrutiny towards her friends.

Yoona still had her attention to her trying unnie, only her unnie was becoming frustrated of herself.

“ ..like…, uhmm…, TSK… “ she was gesturing around with her hands, still in apparent loss of the accurate words.

“ Ben – you broke up with him – result.nothing.you didn’t give a crap, BF2 – broke up with him.nothing again – BF3, brokeup.nothing – what I’m trying to…uhmm say here is.., Kwon Yuri, been with her for a few months? Weeks? Days? then – first time we see you relapse – “

Yoona slumped as well, seemingly in deep thought.

“ ..so what..is it…that – caused all this…dead.carcass.zombish Yoona…”

Yoona looked around once more, this time around thoughts just came pouring in,

The fact that she isn’t mine …..?

Nor I’m hers…..

Fear that she’ll never see me the way I wished her to be…

Yoona  finally came up with a response, although with an apparent silent anxiousness plastered on her whole being “ …I don’t ..know..unnie…. “

Silence broke out for a bit, with Sooyoung trying to grab another attentive reply

Alas –

“ you know what I don’t even know what I’m trying to instigate here, but my stomach is starting to grumble “

Yoona pointed sluggishly to the fridge; “ there’s a whole pizza – “

“ oh good! “ without even acknowledging the bottom of Yoona’s sentence Sooyoung had already raided the fridge and straight for the pizza box, opening it and chomping on a cold slice of pizza.

BUUURPPPP!

Sooyoung crudely shaped her full tummy.

“ now that my pit’s full – I think my brain has a go “

“ keke get it? go? “ she playfully elbowed her lifeless dongsaeng, till she gave up on sliding jokes on her again.

She sighed exaggeratedly before patting Yoona’s back.

“ ..I don’t really know what’s going on with you and Yuri, but my dad has this wonderful quote – he only said it once but it left a mark in my heart and ..tummy? I guess “

Mario barely reacts to his master’s unnie’s but this time around he felt obligated –

“  ..meeeerrrrrgggghhhhhhhee “

*goes a dogs apparent sigh of exasperation

“ – hey! – I know what you mean by that! “

Even the lifeless Yoona glanced at the two, wondering if ever she had mistaken her unnie Sooyoung for a human for so long.

“ alright – alright – so this is how the quote goes; “

“ whenever you’re in  a rift with someone you love  or like, always remember, and treasure the first moment that made you love that someone “

Yoona left her phone alone and stared at the emptiness of the table in front of her, seemingly in deep thought.

“ ..ermm get my drift? “ Sooyoung wasn’t sure she delivered it right.

“ uhh – an example is…..me and Taeyon, even though were a bunch of bad influencing unnies, you stuck yourself with us “ who knew she knew all along what they were to Yoona.

Yet Yoona did still not fully understand her quote, probably from being too disturbed with her example.

*Bark! Mario was trying to say something? You see even the narrator doesn’t understand canine talk.

“ – aah got it! “ Sooyoung had a light bulb idea reaction with Mario’s bark.

“ like this furry pest ridden idiot – “ she pointed at Mario right on his face, in between those innocent and adorable eyes.

Surprisingly Mario stretched out one of his front paws, seemingly pointing at Sooyoung as well.

“ it poops – you clean it, it makes noises at night or whatsoever when it’s scared of lightning, thunder or bad weather, you comfort it, it’s hopelessly a home for pests and whatever you do with it pests just appear to cling unto it – YET you spend, clean, comprehend with it over and over – “

Yoona’s infamous doe eyes was now pasted unto Sooyoung’s face, who was starting to get in to the groove of being a responsible, listening, loveable unnie –

“ alright kid! – what I’m saying is – whatever you do… Mario will always be Mario….since first day you’ve fallen for him cause of …uhmmm…maybe his…loyalty? Or …attractive ..drool..? ugghh ~ “

“ and this Puppy will always be your Puppy…. “

A moment of silence from both parties, and then Yoona finally sprung up.

“ you’re ..damn…right unnie…. – she will always be that Puppy I first saw sitting..lifelessly outside of my neighbor’s porch…. “

Sooyoung’s face was starting to brighten up, feeling all so proud of herself for the advices she gave – or was it -

“ – but wait… SHE? “

She looked around if Mario had a SHE treasure, jewels, seed bag or whatever people call it these days as an urban/lousy informal term for …….......*narrator looks around as well for an urban/lousy informal term for – alright! Female Dog Hoohah’s, pooter, poonanie, lovebox, Fruit cup, rosebud, jewel box, choochie pop, cha cha, Conch Shell – good heavens! The names are just too much for my headache – enough! I am asking forgiveness in advance for the other readers who are still guiltless to such names, or readers who find it offensive in some way.

 And so concluding Sooyoung’s query – Mario did not have any…..

“ aha! I sooo knew it Mario! those are just …tie ons…? And you’ve been hiding you’re jewels all along! “ but her stupidity blinded her.

Mario and Yoona sighed in unison this time around; at least for Sooyoung’s silliness Yoona’s mood had changed.

After a crazed night of eating, shouting, chasing (Sooyoung and Mario only, or worse Sooyoung and an inanimate object), playing board games, chit chatting, all had fallen asleep in the living room.

= = = =

The following morning the gang at present; Yoona, Sooyoung and Mario all geared up for a mountain trek, all necessities were transferred to Sooyoung’s suburban van, and the last thing to do was lock the main door of Yoona’s house.

“ well whatta lovely morning! “ Sooyoung announced she was still overwhelmed with what she did to her dongsaeng, lifting up her spirits.

Sooyoung had stationed Mario in the car, after doing so she walked back to Yoona who was currently locking the main door.

Birds chirping, bees buzzing, neighborhood cat’s and dog’s fighting, just about every regular urban noise echoing about was at present – except for one, which took Sooyoung’s attention, normally she wouldn’t give a crap about two strangers arguing since it gives such music to her ears, but this particular bantering duo was familiar – the other one, to be exact.

“ hey…Yoong, is it just me or the gal across the street looks like Yuri… “

Yoona literally stopped on her tracks as she was just about to turn around and walk into the car, she knows very well her Unnie loves playing pranks on her, but the her unnie has several tones, and this one was pretty confused, and oddly a confused tone on Sooyoung was more reliable than a serious one.

She slowly turned around but just a very simple action seems to be hard for her, anxiousness and fears are simultaneously attacking her, piercing her wounded heart.

“ come on Yoong have a look – “

Her mind couldn’t believe her eyes, it was her, judging on her agitated gestures she was indeed arguing with whoever that woman was.

“ kekeke – they look like they’re speaking in high valyrian – basing on how their mouths get so distorted kekeke “ AND her crazed unnie had to be ….crazed again right in the moment of Yoona’s heart ache warfare.

“ and who’s the stick thin gal? – man ..then I thought I was worse – ohohoho silly me, here I am projecting my fitness unto you, criticizing myself for me to look more attractive than anyone else – “ She was being sarcastic, and sadly laughing by herself at the moment, since no one was paying attention, Yoona’s eyes were glued on the arguing neighbors.

Dugeun – goes her heart, as she couldn’t help herself from probing what Yuri was doing exactly, she looked like she was holding back from bursting out, she was seemingly proving a point to the petite woman she was talking to, who was looking and gesturing at her with anger and disbelief.

Moments have passed and Yoona thought she could handle looking at Yuri like that, it hurts more as she was acting like she wasn’t there, like Yoona wasn’t very visible enough to be standing on her porch, sadly Yuri was too busy reasoning out to her neighbor across.

Yoona felt like her heart was going to gush out, she didn’t know she was holding back her tears, feeling constrict and her eyes slowly turning pinkish.

…well.. this is what I get….

The truth…right in front of me…..

Fact that she can never be mine…

Every thought lapsed for Yoona, was a lapse of Yuri apparently walking out of the house across and straight to the street.

Sooyoung was too busy, finding herself arguing with Mario again, gesturing at Mario like he was that Italian Plumber Super Mario.

…the fact that I can’t even tell her …how I feel…

But then Yoona’s thought looping made her somewhat blind, not seeing who was walking straight to her,

It was none other than an oddly attractive annoyed woman with jet black hair and a couple of naturally curved – arcs, including her lips.

Continuing the topic about her lips, which went straight for Yoona’s naturally pink lips at present, Yoona was totally caught off guard, eyes widening at her ill – blamed heart breaker’s intimately close face, both hands gently clasped unto her jaws and finally her lips tenderly grasping hers, feeling what she just did, Yoona was absolutely sure it was Kwon Yuri kissing her and it wasn’t and imagination nor a dream.

Everything was real, and there were several steps to double check the authenticity of the moment, one was, reacting to the kisser by canoodling them back, which Yoona didn’t do yet, as she was still too anxious and skipping to step one and moving to step two, which was to pull back and interrogate the gorgeous awesome kisser, Kwon Yuri –

“ Yuri….? “ that was good enough as an interrogating step, since Yoona was too weak to get mad at her or she was just too smitten to do so.

“ I had to prove something …. To myself and to the world “ she finally spoke.

Since step two had been executed, step three comes next, which was to react to the explanation of the gorgeous assaulter,

“ – just kiss her back already! “

“ and accept her feelings!  Geez – Mario and I are going to chase that Ice cream truck while you two patch things up! “ at least on this particular realm Sooyoung wasn’t a blocker but more of an instigator.

Yoona glanced at her crazed unnie and smirked then quickly wrapping her arms around Yuri’s neck and finally kissing her back.

Eyes were daggering at them from across the street –
