I Like Her

Yoona’s POV

My name is Im Yoona, and I’m 24 years old. I’m the youngest daughter of two. My older sister has already married, and having two children, and she lived near to my father’s house. Me and my sister lived without a mother for a long time because my parents got divorced when I was six years old. My father got custody for both of us because my mother was not working on that time, and she's already remarried and having a new family. Although I felt sad, but I’m glad that I still have my sister and my father with me, and for over the years, we’ve tried to move on, living without a mother until I had already get used to it.

My father always encouraged me to study hard during my school time, and gladly I always managed to get good grades, and has been accepted to further my study at Dongguk University. Starting on that day, I never looked back, and strived hard in order to prove to my mother that my father raising us well. That's what I always wanted to do, to make my mother felt guilty for leaving us, for the rest of her life. And, I also promised to myself that, if I have my own family someday, I will never let them down, and will always fight for my family’s happiness, and will never do of what my mother has did to me, and to us. I know, it seemed like I'm holding a grudge against my mother, but that’s my promise, that I don’t want to have a broken family again, like I used to have.

After I graduated from university majoring in theatre and music, one day, I have tried to apply an open casting audition, organized by a famous entertainment company, and luckily I was chosen to become their trainee, and debuted as an actress and model few years later. All my hard work over the years paid after I started to receive lots of offers from drama productions to star in their dramas, and also endorsements from various companies. Not to mention, I also won several awards for my drama and film acting which makes me became an A-list actress nowadays.

One day, my manager told me that he received another offer for endorsement from a well-know company which producing skin-care products for women. After discussing about the offer, I decided to accept it, and I was told that they’re going to shoot a commercial film too. And, a representative from the company said that I will be paired up with a rookie actress to shoot the CF together. They said the name is Kwon Yuri. Well, I really don’t mind about it, as long as the pay is good, I will give my best for them.

The day of the CF shooting has come, and I was in the dressing room of the studio, being prepared by the grooming team for the shooting. While the makeup artist was busy putting my makeup on, suddenly I heard a voice greeting the team.

“Annyeong haseyo, sorry I’m late!”, the person said.

“Annyeong, Yuri ssi. It’s okay, we still have time. Please follow me”, one of the team members said, and led her to the chair next to me. Instead of heading to her seat, she walked closer to me

“Omo..Yoona ssi?”, she said in surprise. I turned to look at her.

“Yes?”, I replied with a smile.

“I can’t believe I will be working with you, Yoona ssi. I’m a big fan of yours. Nice to meet you!”, she said excitedly as she bowed to me.

“Nice to meet you too, Yuri ssi. Looking forward to work with you too”, I replied, and bowed slightly to her. She was smiling brightly and was about to continue her words when suddenly the team member cut her off.

“Yuri ssi. Please have a seat first. We need to get you ready”, the team member said. Her face suddenly changed, pouting, which I found it cute.

“Dae”, she replied as she headed towards her seat.

“I will talk to you later”, she mouthed to me, and immediately sat on her chair. I just smiled, and let the makeup artist to continue put on my makeup, and fixing my hair. After we had done with makeup and wearing suitable outfit, we’re ready for the shooting.

***************************

“Alright, Yoona ssi. You need to put your arms around Yuri ssi’s waist. You girls need to look more intimate, like besties. Yeah, like that”, the director instructed. Gosh, I don’t know why, but I felt so awkward and shy to do the pose in front of them. Well, all this while I used to shooting with male models, but with a girl, this is a first time for me.

“Yoona ssi. You need lean closer to Yuri ssi, and caress on Yuri ssi’s cheek, to show that her skin is soft after using the product, okay?”, the director instructed me again. Oh, god! Can’t you just kill me right now? Do I have to do this to her? I just followed on whatever the director had instructed to show my professionalism. The moment I leaned closer to Yuri’s face, I felt my blood rushed to my face, feeling the heat. Yuri just stared into my eyes, and let out a smile, the most beautiful smile that I’ve ever seen in my entire life. I froze up at that moment.

“Yoona ssi, please caress Yuri ssi’s cheek now”, the director’s voice echoed again through the studio, instructed me to do as he said.

“D-dae”, I stuttered, and immediately brought my hand to Yuri’s face, and caressed her cheek gently. It felt like electric shock runs through my vein as my body slowly became limp, it’s just my hand that caressed Yuri’s cheek was still moving, like it has been programmed, just like a robot.

“Cut!”, the director’s shouting startles me, bringing my sense back into the real world again. Yuri who noticed on my awkward act immediately grabbed my hand, and stared into my eyes in with a concern look.

“Gwenchana?”, she asked.

“Y-yeah”, I replied as I smiled sheepishly. Gosh, why I’m acting like that again? This is so embarrassing!

“Alright girls, good job! Thank you Yoona ssi, Yuri ssi!”, the director thanked to both of us as he bowed. We thanked him and all team members in unison before we went back to the dressing room to change our outfit.

After I finished changing my outfit and cleaning the makeup, I thanked the grooming team, and took out my phone from my handbag to call my manager to pick me up. After I finished making a phone call to my manager, Yuri slowly approached me. She seemed like getting ready to leave the studio.

“Yoona ssi,  ermm.. it’s really nice to have a chance working with you. I hope we can work together again in the future”, she said as she held out her hand to shake hands with me.

“Yeah, me too. Sure, why not?”, I replied smilingly as I shook hands with her. Gosh, I couldn’t believe I said that to her. But, this girl, I really like her cheerful side.

“Ermm.. Y-Yoona ssi..”, she stuttered.

“Yes?”, I replied, biting my lips while anticipating for her to continue to speak.

“Ermm.. if you don’t mind.. c-can I have your number?”, she said shyly as she dared herself to ask my number. I was surprised at first, but eventually I smiled when I saw the eagerness through her eyes.

“Sure. Give me your phone”, I said. I almost wanted to burst into laughter when I heard a small squeal coming out from . Without waiting for any seconds, she quickly handed her phone to me as fast as a light. I took her phone, and punched my number before I saved it under my nickname, Yoongie. I handed the phone back to her, and she gleefully took it. She was about to open to thank me when suddenly she’s frowning while staring at her phone screen.

“Yoongie?”, she asked me as she looked like a lost kid. I let out a soft giggle.

“Yup, that’s my nickname. Only certain people can call me with that”, I replied with a smile.

“Oh god, Im Yoona! Are you trying to flirt with her?”, I thought. She suddenly covered , and her eyes widened in surprise.

“Am.. am I included in your certain people list?”, she asked for assurance. I just smiled and shrugged. There, I heard her small squeal again. This Kwon Yuri is really something.

“Alright, I need to go now. My manager is waiting for me. I’ll see you again, Yuri ssi”, I said as I waved my hand at her.

“Y-yeah, see you later, Yoona ssi”, she replied, smiling shyly while waving her hand back at me. I just chuckled at her, and walking to the exit door of the studio.

***************************

“Urghh.. god… I’m so tired!”, I groaned as I plopped my body on the couch. After the CF shooting with Yuri earlier, I had another schedule of photo shooting for fashion magazine at another studio until late evening. Gladly that my manager took me to have our dinner at one of the small restaurant nearby the studio. The restaurant owner was generous enough to give us a private dining room for privacy, so that people will less noticed about me being there. Glad that I didn’t have any schedule on tomorrow, and I could have a rest for the whole day.

I was about to close my eyes when suddenly I heard a beep sound from my phone. I lazily grabbed my handbag that was on the coffee table, and opened it to take out my phone. I looked at the phone screen, and click the message icon. My eyes widened in surprise as I looked at the sender’s name. It’s from Yuri. I immediately sat up straight, and read her text message.

From: Kwon Yuri

Hi, Yoona ssi! Sorry for disturbing you. Are you already asleep?

I smiled after reading her text, and immediately replied it.

From: Yoongie

Hi, Yuri ssi! Not yet. I just came back from work.

Why are you still up? It’s already late.

A few seconds later, I received a reply from her. “That’s fast!”, I said.

From: Kwon Yuri

I always sleep late. Besides, I don’t have any schedule on tomorrow.

I was actually want to ask if you’re free on tomorrow.

I furrowed my brows. “Is she going to ask me out?”, I mumbled. I quickly typed the reply.

From: Yoongie

Coincidently, I don’t have any schedule on tomorrow too. Why?

“BEEP!”

“Yah! That’s so fast!”, I exclaimed while laughing.

From: Kwon Yuri

I would like to invite you to have a breakfast with me, if you don’t mind.

“Assa! I knew it!”, I said. This Kwon Yuri, so easy to read her mind, huh? I decided to stop texting, and instead I dialled her number as I was too lazy to type the text.

“RING! RING! RING!”

“Y-yoboseyo?”, she answered as she stuttered. I bet she must be surprised to receive an unexpected call from me.

“Hi, Yuri ssi. I’m sorry for calling you at this late of night”, I said.

“Hi, Yoona ssi. I-It’s okay. I’m the one who supposed to apologize”, she replied.

“Gwenchana, Yuri ssi. And, stop calling me Yoona. I have already set my phone number under Yoongie’s name, so you should call me by that name”, I said. “Heh, Im Yoona… flirting much?”, I thought. I heard a chuckle from the other line.

“Arasso, Yoongie”, she said. I couldn’t help but to smile even wider.

“And, you should stop calling me Yuri ssi too. Just call me Yuri, or Yul”, she said.

“Yul.. is that your nickname too?”, I asked.

“Yup, that’s my nickname. Only certain people can call me with that”, she replied. Wait.. wait, why the words she said just now sounds familiar, huh?

“Ah.. geu-ro-kun-yo (I see)”, I replied smilingly as I just remembered I was the one who used to say that to her earlier. “So, any idea about the place and time for breakfast tomorrow?”, I asked.

“Ermm… well, if you don’t mind. Can we have a breakfast at my place? I.. I mean, there’s a cafe next to my apartment building here”, she replied as she stuttered. I tried to stifle my laugh when she said ‘my place’ earlier. I thought she wanted to invite me to have a breakfast at her apartment, which I thought ‘too daring’ for her to ask as such in the first place. So, I decided to a bit.

“Sure, I really don’t mind. Whether at ‘your place’, or cafe, I don’t mind at all”, I said as I tried to hold my laughter.

“Yah, Yoongie! Are you trying to mocking me?”, she replied with annoying tone. I burst out into laughter.

“Yoongieeeee…”, she whined. Aigooo.. that was just.. too cute to hear that from her.

“Mianhae.. it’s not my intention to do that. I’m sorry, okay?”, I apologized.

“Apology accepted. Alright, you should get your rest now. It’s already late. Thanks for calling anyway. I will text you my apartment address and time shortly, okay?”, she said.

“Okay”, I replied. “Good night, Yul. I will see you on tomorrow. Sleep well”, I said before I hung up.

“Good night to you too, Yoongie. Yeah, see you on tomorrow. Sleep well too”, she replied.

I smiled as I pressed the end button, and put my phone on the coffee table. I got up from the couch, took my handbag and dragged my heavy feet to the bedroom. After freshen up, I made myself a hot milk, and drank it before I hit the bed.

***************************

I set the direction on GPS according to the address which Yuri had texted me earlier on last night. I decided to drive my car since her apartment building located just ten blocks from mine. After driving for about twenty minutes, finally I arrived near her apartment building. I fished out my phone, and dialled her number.

“RING! RING! RING!”

“Yoboseyo? Yoongie? Are you already here?”, Yuri asked.

“Yes, I have already arrived near your apartment building”, I replied.

“Just park your car at the open parking lot there. I will come by to fetch you”, she said as she hung up. I just followed her instruction, and slowly drove my car to park at the said parking lot. I wore my sunglasses, and put on my red hoodie before I got out of the car. I just wore a simple outfit today, a grey v-neck t-shirt inside, and a blue skinny jeans, with a pair of black Converse.

I leaned on my car while waiting for Yuri to come. While I was busy checking on my phone, suddenly I heard someone called my name. I turned towards the source of the voice. I immediately smiled when I saw the person who was running towards me.

“H-hi, Yoongie!”, Yuri greeted me while panting.

“Why are you running?”, I asked. She inhaled a deep breath before she speak.

“I don’t want to make you waiting for too long. Kaja!”, she said as she pulled my arm like it was nothing to her. It’s like she have known me for a long time. I just complied, and let her pulled my arm as she led her to the cafe.

***************************

“What do you want to eat?”, she asked while looking at me. I was busy scanning through the menu.

“Ermm.. tuna sandwich with chicken ham, blueberry and banana muffin. Oh, another one, mango pudding for dessert. For drinks I would like to have Iced Americano, that’s all”, I said as I placed my order. I put the menu on the table, and glanced at Yuri. She was dumbfounded while looking at me, looking mesmerized. The waitress bowed to us after taking the order, and immediately heading to the ordering counter.

“Jeongmal? Are you going to eat all that?”, she asked in disbelief.

“Yup. Why?”, I asked, furrowing my brows.

“N-nothing.. it’s just.. that.. too much..”, she said in hesitancy tone. I chuckled, knowing that she must be surprised to know about my hidden talent today.

“Don’t worry, Yul ah. I used to eat more than this”, I replied. Her eyes widened in surprise.

“Jinja? But.. but you didn’t gain weight”, she said, still looked disbelief.

“That’s because I have a big hole in my stomach”, I said as I patted my stomach proudly, and then giggled.

“Yah!”, she exclaimed, and smacked on my arm. I laughed as I felt amused teasing her. Not long after, the waitress came with a tray of foods and drinks that we have ordered earlier.

“Jal meokkesseumnida! (bon appetit)”, she said and bowed before she left.

“Kamsahamnida!”, we thanked her in unison. We starting to eat our food while chatting, and getting to know each other. From that moment, I grew my interest on her as we both shared the same career and dream. After awhile, I have become more comfortable to be with her. We didn’t realize we had already finished eating breakfast as we were busy chatting with each other.

“Yul ah, thank you for the breakfast treat”, I said after Yuri has done settling the bill. She looked at me and smiled.

“Don’t mention it, Yoongie. But, next time, it’s your turn, okay?”, she replied. I didn’t know whether she was joking, or she really meant it.

“Arasso. I will treat you lunch or dinner on next time”, I said without hesitation. Honestly, I really wanted to meet her again. We then headed to the parking lot where I parked my car earlier.

“Alright, I guess this is it then”, I said soon after we reached at my car.

“Yeah”, she replied in short. I guess, she didn’t know what to say as she lost for words. Without I realized, I leaned closer to her, and hugged her.

“Thank you”, I whispered into her ear. I could feel that her body stiffen. I patted on her back gently before I pulled of the hug. She just stood still, maybe still felt shocked from my unexpected action just now. I chuckled, and patted her cheek. She startled.

“Gwenchana?”, I asked. I noticed her face reddened. She shifted her gaze on the ground and nodded her head slowly.

“D-dae”, she stuttered. I felt like wanted to pinch her cheek, and laughed on her cuteness. I unlocked the car’s door, and opened it, and entered inside slowly. I lowered the window, and looked at her.

“I’ll see you later, okay?”, I said smilingly.

“O-okay”, she replied, shyly. I the car’s engine, and waved my hand at her before I slowly drove away from the parking lot. I glanced at the rear-view mirror, and could see her was jumping up and down. I laughed as I shook my head.

“This girl.. I like her”
