Chapter 58

Let's talk about love

Walking up late on a lazy Sunday seems like the most wonderful thing to do. That is if you don't share a dorm with 4 other noisy and hyperactive girls. After our movie date last night, I had stayed up to do some revision until 3am with the intention of waking up at noon the next day. But like I've said earlier, it seems impossible when you're living with those girls.

"Yah!!! Choi Sooyoung!! Why do you keep finishing up the pancakes that I had made for the other girls too?" I heard Taeyeon's voice from outside.

"That's already her 6th. I saw her taking another two earlier." Hyoyeon shouted out before I heard some shuffling sound and soon enough, running steps could be heard around the dorm.

"Yah!! Kim Hyoyeon!! Stop running away. There's no place for you to hide." Sooyoung's voice was heard before I heard Taeyeon's panicked voice.

"Yul, what happened to you?"

It was silence for a few seconds as I heard someone running across the hallway before a loud sound of slammed door was heard, causing me to sit up straight. I looked towards my door and instantly, it opened as Taeyeon's head popped out.

"Emergency. Yul's room. Right now!!!"

I jumped out from my bed and rushed out to join Taeyeon, Sooyoung and Hyoyeon who were already standing in front of Yuri's room. I whispered to Hyoyeon and asked her what happened but I guessed the choding was busy goofing around with Sooyoung earlier to notice anything as she shrugged her shoulders.

"Yul, is everything okay?" Taeyeon asked as she knocked on the door but there was no response from the inside. "Yuri-ah, can we all come in? Gwenchana?" Taeyeon continued to knock on the door, hoping that Yuri would at least give us a response.

"Leave me alone. I just need time to be alone." Yuri's voice was heard but from the sound of her cracked voice, it was obvious that she was crying.

Taeyeon looked at me as I gave her a signal to just enter the room. Taeyeon twisted the doorknob and all 4 of us rushed in, shocking the tanned girl who was seated at the corner of her room while hugging her knees. When Yuri looked up at us, all of us saw how swollen her eyes were. It seemed to me that Yuri had started crying way before she entered our dorm.

"Omo, your eyes are already swollen. Since when did you start crying?" Ssoyoung asked as Yuri looked down to avoid any more stares.

"I thought you said that you're going out for a morning jog with Yoona?" Hyoyeon asked as she sat down on the floor with a confused look.

I saw Taeyeon frowned as all of us took a seat on the floor, surrounding Yuri. None of us asked any further questions as we waited for any further reactions from Yuri. Soon, we saw Yuri's shoulders started to moved and trembled as a sign that she was actually crying softly.

Taeyeon put her arm around Yuri's shoulders and rubbed it in a comforting way. I whispered something to Taeyeon and stood up as Sooyoung and Hyoyeon looked at me with a confused look. Walking back to my room, I grabbed my phone and called Jessica. I looked up at the clock and saw that it was only 10am. 'Hopefully Sicababy is already awake.' I said to myself as the phone continued to ring.

"Hello...." A sleepy voice answered the phone as I imagined Jessica answering it without even opening her eyes.

"Sicababy, it's me. Sorry to disturb you but there's an emergency." I replied her softly as I told her what was happening at the moment.

"Jinjja?!" Jessica said as she sounded more awake right now. "I need to go out and find Yoona first. I'll keep you updated and you do the same too, okay." She said as I agreed to her suggestion.

After hanging up the phone and putting it in my pocket, I walked back to Yuri's room and saw that she's already staring up the ceiling and no longer crying. I saw Taeyeon gesturing to me to sit down as I took my seat opposite Yuri.

"I'm sorry for causing all of you unnecessary worry. I... I was just... Earlier.." Yuri sighed as she had difficulties trying to form a proper sentence. Looking up the ceiling again, she tried to compose herself once again.

At that moment, my phone beeped to indicate a message from Jessica.

To Jaegi:

Yoona is not in the dorm. Sunny and Tiff said that she's still not back from the morning jog with Yul when I asked them about her. I'm not sure if I should inform the rest of the girls about it. Should I, Jaegi?

To Sicababy: 

Let me find out the story from Yul first. Don't tell the other girls yet. Just keep me updated once Yoona is back. Thanks, Sicababy.

I put my phone aside quickly when I realised that Yuri was about to talk again.

"I went out for a morning jog with Yoona earlier. The truth is, lately there seem to be a little problem in our relationship. Yoona kept questioning me about my closeness with Hyuna and Hara." Yuri stopped talking and Sooyoung took the opportunity to ask Yuri something.

"But you are only close to them during practices right?" Sooyoung said but it shocked all of us when Yuri shook her head.

"Both of them are in the same faculty as us. School of Sports Science." Hyoyeon answered even before Yuri could do so. "Both of them will always find time to disturb Yul. I don't know how the 2 of them seem to know our time-table because me and Yul seem to be bumping into them quite often. After classes, along the hallway. They're practically everywhere. Sometimes, even when Yoona is around, they will still bother Yul for a while." Hyoyeon explained further.

"If they're always hanging around and bothering you, no wonder Yoona is irritated. She must be having a hard time trying to keep you to herself. It doesn't help that Yul is the type of person who doesn't know how to reject others, especially when they say they needed her help." I said as I looked at Yuri who then pouted and gave me a guilty look.

"But what actually happened earlier that cause you to cry, Yul?" Taeyeon asked as all of us looked at her.

"Yoona said that we're are over."

"Mwo??!!!!" All of us were shocked to hear Yuri's answer.

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

(Flashback a few hours earlier)

Yuri was all set to start her usual morning jog that she usually does on Sundays. She was about to start her warm-up in her room when her phone rang. Seeing Yoona's name on the screen, she quickly answered it.

"Morning, Yoongie. Did you sleep well?" Yuri asked with a cheerful tone.

"I did. Are you getting ready for your morning jog, Yul?"

"I'm just about to start on my warm-up first. Wae?"

"Is it okay if I join you for your morning jog?" Yoona asked. The truth was, Yoona felt bad for her cold attitude towards Yuri since last night so she wanted to apologise by spending the morning with Yuri.

"You want to join me?" Yuri was shocked because this was the first time that Yoona actually wanted to follow her for a morning jog ever since she started staying in the dorm even though Yuri had asked her to do so a lot of times before.

"Yes. If that's okay with you." Yoona asked as she bite her lips nervously.

"Of course. You know that I've always wanted you to follow me during my morning jog. Is 30mins enough for you to get ready?" Yuri asked in excitement.

"I'm actually all ready to go but I've not warmed myself up yet."

"Wow, it seems that you've got this all planned. In that case, let's meet up first and we can warm up together later. I'll see you in a minute okay."

After hanging up the phone, Yuri quickly went out of the room and almost bumped into Taeyeon who had just walked out from the room.

"Yah!! What's with the excitement? Where are you rushing to so early in the mowwwning?" Taeyeon asked as she yawned while talking.

"I'm going for my morning jog with Yoona. Bye." Yuri waved as she walked out from the dorm.

As the YoonYul couple enjoyed their warm-up at the park behind the school cafetaria, they began their slow jog together. Both of them were enjoying the quiet moment beside each other as they jogged for an hour. Yuri then suggested for them to take a break at one of the bench.

"How was it, Yoongie? Is it too tiring for you?" Yuri asked as she smiled widely at Yoona who was wiping her sweat with her hands. "Aishhh.. Don't do that. Here, use my towel."

Yuri took out her towel and slowly tapped it on Yoona's forehead as Yoona turned her body sideways so that she can face Yuri.

"I miss having you around." Yoona suddenly blurted out as she felt Yuri stopped her actions. Both of them then just stared at each other's eyes without saying anything. "I'm sorry. For always nagging at you. For showing as if I don't trust you."

"You don't have to apologise. I'm the one at fault. I don't know how to say 'no' to others, causing them to take advantage of my kindness. But please don't ever doubt my love for you." Yuri said sincerely as she held Yoona's hands.

Yoona nodded her head and smiled. "Do you want to get a drink, Yul? I'll get us some snacks and water while you rest here, okay." Yoona then stood up and walked towards the cafetaria after Yuri nodded her head.

Yuri was feeling so happy that she decided to close her eyes for a while and leaned on the bench. A few minutes later, Yuri felt someone sitting sideways on her lap. Thinking that it was Yoona, she hugged the person around the waist but she felt something was not right. Her doubts were proven when the voice that called her name doesn't belong to Yoona.

"Hi Yuri. It's so nice to be in your arms."

Yuri opened her eyes immediately and saw Hyuna's face very close to hers. From afar, it looked as if they were about to kiss. Yuri automatically stood up, causing Hyuna to fall down on her .

"What the hell was that for?" Yuri glared at the pouting Hyuna as she crossed her arms.

"Can't you at least help me up first? I saw you from a distance so I thought of giving you a surprise." Hyuna said as she lifted up her hands in the hope that Yuri would help her up.

Yuri sighed and reached out for Hyuna's hands to pull her up but what happened next was something she didn't expect. Hyuna leaned herself forward and pecked Yuri on her lips when she was being pulled up. Yuri's eyes popped out but before she could say anything, the sound of something dropping caused her to turn to her right.

"Kwon Yuri, we are OVER!!!"

The image of a crying Yoona who turned and ran away was the last image that was stuck on Yuri's mind as she stood frozen on the spot. Seeing the broken plastic bag with a bottle of water and some sandwiches spread around it, Yuri walked slowly towards it and pick it up.Tears started to fall as Yuri held on to the food and drinks. When she stood up, her vision was already blurry due to the tears.

"Yuri, I'm sorry. I thought you were always alone during your morning jogs. I didn't mean to...." Hyuna came up to Yuri and placed her hand on Yuri's shoulders.

Pushing Hyuna's hand away, Yuri looked at the girl. "Save it, Hyuna. I think you've crossed over the limits this time."

Yuri started to walk away as her eyes tried to scan through the direction to where Yoona had ran off but there was no sight of her girlfriend. Breaking into a run, Yuri moved to the direction of their dorms. As she stood in front of her girlfriend's dorm, she contemplated about knocking on the door. In the end, she didn't and just left the sandwiches and the bottle of water on their doorsteps before making her way to her own dorm. As Yuri struggled to open the door, the tears continued to fall. Once opened, she stepped in only to be greeted by a shocked Taeyeon.

"Yul, what happened to you?"

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

"I really didn't expect Hyuna to kiss me. I only wanted to help her up." Yuri said as she looked at everyone in the room with sincerity in her eyes.

"The problem is Yoona saw that and she might have misunderstood the whole situation." Sooyoung replied.

"I don't think Yoona really meant what she said, about breaking up. She must have said it in anger." Taeyeon added on.

"Let's go next door and explain everything to Yoona." Hyoyeon said as stood up quickly followed by Sooyoung.

"Yoona is still not back yet. Since Sica has yet to inform me about it." I said as everyone turn to look at me with a confused expression.

Taking my phone out and showing everyone the messages and explaining to them about my conversations earlier with Jessica, everyone seem to be in deep thoughts right now. I saw Yuri quickly took her phone out and dialed a number. No one seem to be answering though.

"I don't think she's going to answer your call, Yul. Especially in her condition right now." I said as Yuri looked at me with a worried face. "Let's head over to our girlfriend's dorm. Maybe they can give us some suggestion to settle this problem."

As all 5 of us walked out from our dorm, we saw the sandwiches and also bottle of water that Yuri had placed earlier just like how she had told us. Sooyoung picked it up and rang the bell.

Jessica opened the door with a shocked face to see all 5 of us standing at the door as she gestured us to come in. Tiffany was lying on the couch with her legs on top of Sunny's lap as both of them were watching the tv. Both of them were also shocked to see us, especially with our solemn face.

"Is Hyunnie in her room?" Hyoyeon asked as Jessica just nodded her head. "I'll go and get her."

Once Hyoyeon made her way to her girlfriend's room, the rest of us gathered at the living room. No one dared to say anything as our girlfriends seem to understand the seriousness behind our faces. When Hyoyeon came back with Seohyun and took their seats, I nudged Yuri who was sitting beside me.

"Tell them what happened and I hope everyone will listen first without any interception until Yul finish her story. Agreeable?" I asked as I looked at everyone who nodded their head.

Yuri took a deep breathe before repeating the story that she had informed the 5 of us earlier. I could see the shocked expression on the other girls as there were times that they frowned before turning into a worried look.

"Is that why you were asking us about Yoona's whereabouts earlier, Sica?" Sunny asked once Yuri ended her speech.

"Yes but I didn't know about the full story. Jae only told me that Yul had came back crying so I couldn't tell you girls about anything." Jessica explained.

"I can't believe you actually kissed her in front of Yoona, Yul. I'm really pissed off at you at the moment." Tiffany glared at Yuri as she folded her arms.

"I didn't kiss her. She forced herself on me. I'm innocent." Yuri replied with a crack voice, on the verge of tearing up. "I love Yoona. I really do. Why can't anyone see that? I know it's my fault that I allowed Hyuna and even Hara to take advantage of my kindness but please don't ever doubt my love for Yoongie." Yuri choked on her on sentence as she covered her teary face.

I put my right arm around her shoulder and her head with my left. "We know you love her, Yul. We trust you. The problem now is Yoona is still not back yet and it's almost noon." I looked up to face the others. "Yul tried to call her but she's not picking up her call. I was thinking that maybe you girls could give her a call and hope that she'll answer it." I suggested.

"But if we call her and ask her about this, I'm afraid that she'll just switch off her phone. Yoona likes to keep things in her heart." Seohyun commented as everyone realised the possibilities of not being able to find Yoona at all.

"Can I at least eat the sandwiches while thinking?" Sooyoung asked with a dorky smile as she showed us the sandwiches in her hand. The ones that Yoona had actually bought for Yuri.

"No. That's mine. Yoongie bought it for me." Yuri said as she snatched it from Sooyoung, making the shikshin pout as Sunny just shook her head.

"I think the best person to call her is Sunny. Just ask her if she's coming back for lunch or something. Since it's almost noon." I said as Sunny asked me why it has to be her. "Well, Seohyun can't lie, Tiffany can't control her excitement and Sica should still be sleeping at this time." A slap landed on my thighs as Jessica glared at me as I gave her a dorky grin.

"That's true. Fany's tone of voice will go up everytime she's panicking or trying to cover her nervousness." Taeyeon added on.

After discussing for a while and promising to be really quiet, everyone waited in anxiety as we watched Sunny dialing Yoona's number.

"Yeoboseyo. Yoona-ah. It's Sunny. I just want to ask if you're coming back for lunch?"

We could see Sunny swallowing her saliva as she seemed to be listening to Yoona's answer. When Sunny suddenly shook her head, I quickly whispered to her about what else to say.

"You're going out for lunch with Yul, is it? I'm going over to look for Soo in her dorm." Sunny said as her expression suddenly changed as she frowned. "You're not with Yul? You're at your own home?" Sunny's voice suddenly changed a bit as I quickly gestured her to calm down.

Luckily Sunny managed to control the situation as she kept on nodding her head and after a few minutes, she hanged up the phone after saying goodbye to Yoona. By then, everyone's attention were now focused on Sunny.

"You guys probably already heard what I've said. She's at her home right now and she says that she's staying the night there. She said she missed her family."

"Does she sound okay?" Yuri asked with a worried expression.

"Well, she did try to sound okay but I can detect a tint of sadness in her voice." Sunny replied as Yuri bite her lips and frowned as her eyes showed signs of constraint tears.

"Otteoke? She's not answering my calls, or even replying my messages. How am I suppose to explain things to her? Sunny, did she say when she's coming back?" When Sunny shook her head, Yuri started to panic and stood up abruptly. "I can't lose her. I don't want to break up. I don't agree. It's not my fault. What if Yoongie starts avoiding me without listening to my explanation?" Yuri started to pace around the room.

"I think we should let Yoona calm herself down first. Yul can continue to try to message her but avoid calling because I don't think Yoona will answer it anyway." Seohyun said calmly as everyone else just nodded their heads as the room became silent until the growling sound of Sooyoung's stomache caused everyone to laugh.

Hyoyeon and Taeyeon then volunteered to cook lunch for everyone. I saw Yuri walking towards Yoona's room that was beside the kitchen and stood in front of her opened door. I walked up to her and put my arm on her shoulder.

"She won't leave me, right Jae?" Yuri asked without turning her head as she just stared into her girlfriend's room.

"She won't. She loves you and you shouldn't allow her to leave since you love her too." I said as I patted Yuri's shoulder.

"If only I didn't allow myself to be close to other girls and let them take advantage of my kindness, this won't happen." Yuri sighed as she looked down to the floor.

"Learn from your mistakes and don't hurt her anymore, Yul. In the mean time, we're here for you." I said as Yuri said thanks.

I heard Jessica calling my name as I turned to see her telling me that she's going off to her room. Yuri nudged and gave me the signal to go ahead and follow Jessica, saying that she'll be fine by herself. I ran towards Jessica who was already opening her bedroom door. When I entered, she was already lying on her bed and yawning away.

"Sleepy?" I asked as I grabbed a chair and placed it beside her bed. Jessica just nodded her head as she pulled up her blanket to cover her and took her phone to play with it.

Seeing Jessica so cosy on her bed, suddenly made me feel sleepy again. I must have doze off without realising since the next thing I know was Jessica shaking my shoulders.

"Do you want to lie down beside me? You look tired." Jessica said as I covered my mouth while yawning. "What time did you sleep last night? 3am?!" Jessica was shocked when I lifted up 3 fingers to answer her question.

"It's okay. The bed will be too small for the both of us. I want you to sleep comfortably."

"Wait. Help me to put that chair back to the computer table." Jessica said as I stood up and did what she told me to do. When I turned around to face her again, she had pulled down her mattress to the floor. "Now we can share. The floor is wider than the bed."

I chuckled as Jessica took two of her pillows and placed it side by side on the mattress. She placed her blanket below the mattress.

"Our upper bodies will be on the mattress and the rest of it on the blanket." Jessica explained as she lied down.

I joined her on the floor when she tapped the pillow beside her. Jessica quickly wrapped her arms around my waist and leaned into my shoulders. I kissed her on the top of her head and took in the scent of her shampoo.

"I miss this. Having you in my embrace, smelling your scent and hearing your heartbeat." I said as Jessica looked up and we stared into each other's eyes. "Saranghae, Sicababy."

"Nado saranghae, Jaegi." Jessica smiled sweetly at me and pecked me on my lips. "Time to sleep."

I was awaken again as I opened my eyes to see Taeyeon smiling at me. I looked at the time and realised that I've been sleeping for the past 1hr. I looked to my left and saw that Jessica was still sleeping with the same position earlier.

"Do you still want to eat?" Taeyeon asked as I nodded my head. 

After she left, I turned to my left slowly so as not to disturb Jessica's sleep. Looking ag her sleeping face, I smiled at her angelic face. I kissed her on her forehead as I notice Jessica stirring in her sleep. A few minutes later, she opened one of her eyes and smiled at me. 

As the 2 of us walked to the dining table, we saw that TaeNy, SooSun and HyoHyun couple were watching the tv. I asked them about Yuri and they said that she went back to the dorm to get some rest after eating her lunch. The girls then told us that they've all eaten and didn't wake us up earlier as they wanted us to sleep longer.

"Jaegi, who do you think is at fault in this case?" Jessica asked as I scooped some rice for her while she poured a glass of water for me.

"Both. In every problem, both parties are always at fault. Remember that you need two hands to clap. Yoona is at fault for not trusting Yul and making a rash decision. While Yul is at fault for allowing Yoona the opportunity to not trust her. You should have asked, who's at a greater fault. In this case, I think Yul is at a greater fault because she could have avoided all of this." I said as I saw Jessica staring blankly at me as I just chuckled. 

"You sound like an expert in relationship. Are you sure you've not been in a relationship before?" Jessica looked at me with teasing eyes.

"Are you not trusting me too?" I said as I pouted before the two of us giggled at each other.

"YAH!! Can the two of you stop being so cheesy to each other? There are other couples in here too." Sooyoung half shouted from the living room as both me and Jessica just meronged at her.
