Chapter 60

Let's talk about love

"Do you think YoonYul have settle their problem by now?" Tiffany asked as she looked at her watch which was showing that it was already 9pm. When there was no reponse, she looked up and sighed.

Taeyeon, Hyoyeon and Sooyoung were playing around with their chopsticks, using them as drum sticks and hitting them against the table. Seohyun was reading a book while Sunny was playing her game. Jessica and Hyun Jae had went off to get ice creams for everyone.

"Yah!!! Did anyone hear what I said?" Tiffany asked with a slightly raised voice as everyone turned to look at her with a confused look.

I was walking back to the table, holding on to a plastic bag of ice-creams in one hand and Jessica's hand in another when I heard Tiffany's question. "What did you say, Fany?" I asked as I sat down.

After Tiffany repeated her question, Hyoyeon, Sooyoung, Taeyeon and I quickly took out our phones. One by one, all of us shook our heads.

"Why are the 4 of you doing the same reaction? Checking your phones and shaking your heads." Sunny asked as she ate her ice-cream.

"We made Yul promise us to message if things get out of hand but so far, none of us had received any messages so let's cross our fingers and pray that everything is going fine." I said as I passed an ice-cream to Jessica after opening it for her.

"Speaking of the devil." Taeyeon said as she jutted out to point to something behind my back.

As I turned around, I was shocked to see Yuri with swollen eyes but my frown quickly turned into a smile when I saw her walking towards us, holding on to Yoona's hand.

(Flashback  a few hours ago)

Yuri took her seat opposite of Yoona. After Yoona gestured her to start eating, silence filled the air as both ate without a word. 30mins later, Yoona had finished eating while Yuri was almsot done. Seeing that Yoona had finished her food and was just sitting there sipping her drink slowly, Yuri panicked. She started gobbling down her food until she almost choked.

"Yah!! Are you in a rush or something?" Yoona said as she quickly went over to Yuri's side and patted her back before giving her a glass of water. "What're you trying to do, pabo Yul?"

"Mianhae. I saw that you were done so I didn't want to make you wait any longer." Yuri explained herself after she calmed down as Yoona went back to her seat.

"You always eat slower than me, Yul and I always wait for you to finish. What's so different about tonight?" Yoona asked.

"I'm scared. Scared that you won't wait and leave me again. I really want you to hear me out." Yuri answered as she sighed.

"Fine. Then explain yourself now." Yoona said as she folded her arms and looked straight into Yuri's eyes.

"I didn't kiss her, Yoongie. She forced herself on me. Please believe and forgive me." Yuri looked back into Yoona's eyes.

"If you didn't kiss her, why are you apologising?" Yoona asked.

"Because I allowed all this to happen. I allowed her to take advantage of my kindness. I should have just let her get up on her feet on her own. If I didn't pulled her up, she won't have kissed me. And all this while, when you kept saying that you don't like how close I was with Hyuna and even Hara, I didn't consider your feelings and just brush it aside. I'm sorry for being insensitive to your feelings, Yoongie. But please believe my love for you. Please don't leave me." Yuri looked up the ceiling when she felt her eyes getting hot as she tried to control her tears.

Yoona saw what Yuri did and she knew that her girlfriend was on the verge of crying. "Then why didn't you ran after me that day? Why did you allow me to walk away?"

"I was too shocked to react. Do you know how shocked I was? I couldn't even move from the spot. Firstly, I didn't expect Hyuna to kiss me. Secondly, I didn't expect you to see it." Yuri was starting to talk very fast. "And lastly, I didn't expect you to say...to say..that we.. that we.." Yuri bite her lips as she remembered the words that Yoona said on that day.

"That we are over." Yoona completed Yuri's sentence with an emotionless tone.

Hearing Yoona repeating the same sentence especially with that tone of voice, Yuri finally broke down as she looked down and cried. The only sound that can be heard in the dorm right now was Yuri's soft crying and the word 'mianhae' coming out from Yuri's mouth on a repeated mode.

Yoona stood up and walked towards Yuri before squatting down. "Yuri-ah..  Do you love me?"

Yuri looked up and Yoona saw how swollen her eyes had become as Yuri nodded her head vigorously. "I do. I really do. I love you a lot. Really.. a lot." Yuri said with sincerity with her cracked voice.

"To tell you the truth, I actually saw everything that happened in the park. I was already thre when you suddenly stood up, causing Hyuna to fell. I saw how angry you were, glaring at her. I don't know what happened before you stood up and was about to walk up to you when I saw you pulling her up and that kissing incident." Yoona said as she stood up. "The past 3 days that I was at home, I did a lot of thinking. About what happened, about us and about my outburst on that day. I realised that I let my anger overtook myself."

"Let me tell you what really happened that day." Yuri said as she retold the whole incident. "I did ran to look for you but I couldn't find you. I'm sorry for my late reaction. I was just too shocked."

"I'm sorry too. For making a rash decision. For avoiding you the past few days. I should've at least allowed you to explain yourself." Yoona caressed Yuri's cheeks with both hands. "I heard you skipped meals and I can see that you've lost some weight. Don't do that again. No matter what happened to us, please take care of your health."

"I'm sorry, Yoongie. For hurting you. For being insensitive. I won't be friendly to any other girls anymore." Yuri said as she stood up and hugged Yoona. "Please don't leave me again. I really can't do well without you by my side."

"I'm not asking you to change yourself, Yul. I've known your character since middle school. You've always been the friendly one among the 3. Taeng and Jae don't even come close to your level. I just want you to be more aware of the people around you. You can be kind and friendly to others but you need to let them know their limit." Yoona said as she returned the hug.

"Gomawo, Yoongie. For giving me a chance to explain myself and believing in me. So does this mean we're still together?" Yuri arched her back so that she can look at Yoona's face when she asked that question.

"Anni.. we're not back yet because your dinner meal is incomplete. Where's my dessert?" Yoona replied with a smirk.

"Dessert is best serve cold. Let's get some ice-cream from the cafetaria now." Yuri said as she grabbed Yoona's hand and walked towards the main door.

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

"How come all of you are here?" Yoona asked the moment both she and Yuri arrived at our table. "Wait... Did all of you plan all this? Having a date with your girlfriends together and leaving me and Yul behind at the dorm?"

"To be honest with you, we did plan to bring our girlfriends out but we went out to different places, except for JaeSica and TaeNy. The 4 of them went on a double date to catch a movie. Me and Soo went to the arcade nearby. I'm not sure where this two went to." Sunny said as she pointed her fingers to Hyoyeon and Seohyun.

"We actually stayed in the library. Hyunnie wanted to do some revision for her political science course." Hyoyeon replied. "We left the library at 7.30pm to grab our dinner at the school cafetaria. That's when we saw SooSun here."

"We came here about 7pm. My Shikshin was already hungry after only playing for 1hr so we just proceeded to the cafetaria to eat dinner. The 4 of them came about 15mins before the both of you." Sunny explained as she looked at the YoonYul couple. "I thought Yul were going to prepare dinner for both of you?"

"I did. We're here for dessert actually. Yoongie, I'll go and grab us some patbingsu. You just stay here with them, okay." Yuri left after Yoona nodded her head.

As Yoona took a seat, everyone was looking at her with anticipation. Understanding the looks, Yoona smiled. "We've settled our problem and are back together."

"Yeah!!!!" Hyoyeon and Sooyoung gave each other a high-five.

I felt Jessica leaning her head on my shoulder and wrapped my arms around her waist. "Sleepy?" I asked softly as I felt a slight nod from Jessica. "Close your eyes and rest then. I'll carry you home later."

Yuri came back with a bowl of patbingsu so while Yoona was enjoying her dessert, Yuri was the one who had to retold the story about what happened in the dorm earlier.

"Since everything is back to normal, we can have our party time again. Welcome back, KkabYul." Hyoyeon said as she started to do some random moves with Sooyoung while both of them were still seated.

"Party time? You guys go out to party without us?" Sunny asked with a frown as she glared at Sooyoung.

"Anni... We don't go out to party. We just do it in our dorm. It's just some random things we do when we needed a break from studies. Taeng will sing. Jae will play her guitar. Me, Hyo and Yul will dance." Sooyoung explained as she suddenly laughed. "We even came up with a group name. SHY. Stands for Soo, Hyo and Yul."

The 5 of us laughed at each other as our girlfriends just shook their heads except for Jessica who seemed to be peacefully sleeping without any disturbance.

"I think I'll make a move 1st. Sica needs to sleep properly. Fany-ah, can you help me for a while?" With Tiffany's help, I managed to carry Jessica in a bridal style and was about to make a move when everyone stood up. I noticed that Yoona had finished eating so everyone wanted to leave together.

After tucking Jessica into bed and kissing her forehead, I left their dorm and head back. The other 4 girls were dancing around in the living room with Taeyeon holding on to a speaker. The music was not really loud to disturb other students but loud enough if you're standing in the living room with them.

"Hey, Jae. Come and join us. It's only 10pm. We need to celebrate Yul's happy occasion." Hyoyeon said as I just smiled at them.

 "We'll be meeting Hara and Hyuna during practice tomorrow. Did you guys come up with any plans just in case the two of them started to disturb Yul again?" I asked as everyone stopped dancing and Taeyeon stopped the music. As if on cue, everyone turned to look at Yuri at the same time.

"I didn't actually thought about it. I didn't even remember that we'll be seeing them tomorrow. But don't worry. I'll make sure that I'll keep my distance from them." Yuri said as all of us sat down on the couch.

"Keeping a distance from them might create a friction in the team. No matter what, we're teammates. As the team captain, I don't want this to affect our teamwork but as the captain, I can try to help to reduce their reliance on you. Maybe whenever they ask for your help, I can ask the others to help them too. So Yul don't have to face them alone." Taeyeon replied as we all nodded our heads.

"The best is if you can straighten things out with them. Tell them that their actions might affect your relationship with Yoona. If they really treat you as a friend, they will understand." Sooyoung added on.

"I think I should have a talk with them in Yoona's presence. So that everyone is aware of the situation." Yuri said as everyone agreed.

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

Everything was back to normal after that incident. Just like what Yuri told us, she did had a talk with Hara and Hyuna but it was only two weeks after that. That's because on the next day, Yuri came down with stomach flu and didn't attend the practice. Yuri brought Yoona along and the 4 of them had a long chat after practices. Yuri told us that Hyuna kept apologising for what happened and admitted that she did have a little crush on Yuri but she didn't plan to break their relationship.

Hyuna must have felt really guilty since she decided to drop out of the team even though Yuri did asked her to stay on. Hyuna said that she still have feelings for Yuri and said that it was better if she kept her distance. So since we only have 8 members left in the team, Sunny volunteered to join in the practices as a back-up goalkeeper, replacing Hyuna's position. When Sunny informed everyone about her decision, we thought that Sooyoung was going to be very happy about it but then we saw her frowning as we watched Hyomin getting very excited and kept hugging Sunny.

Two more weeks and summer break will begin for most of the girls but for me, Sunny and Seohyun, we will still continue to have summer classes until the end of July.

"What am I suppose to do for the whole month of July when you're having classes? Why can't your break start at the same time as us which is at the end of June?" Sooyoung whined and pouted at Sunny as the rest of us just watched.

"Stop whining, my dear shikshin. I've already told you before. The classes are for my business management courses. We need to attend during the summer break so that we can finish up the syllabus faster. Which will allow us to concentrate more time on our main degree courses." Sunny replied as she fed Sooyoung a spoonful of bibimbap. "Anyway, I don't see Sica or Hyo complaining about it to their girlfriends."

"Maybe because Sica is going on a Europe trip with her family for 3 weeks. Without me. Leaving me all alone. There's no way she's going to complain when she's preparing to go on a shopping trip." I said as I felt Jessica punching me on my shoulder.

"Don't pretend to whine. You were the one who suggested me to spend more time with my family so don't pretend to complain." Jessica said as she rolled her eyes.

"I did say that you should spend more time with your family especially Uncle Ken but I wasn't expecting him to take you on a 3 weeks long vacation to Europe. Aishhh.. I should have suggested to Uncle Ken to bring you for trips, restricted only in Korea." I replied as I folded my arms and sighed.

"What's the difference between trips around Korea and Europe?" Taeyeon asked.

"At least if she's still in Korea, no matter how far she is, I can still drive to where she is. If she's in Europe, I can't go to her whenever I miss her." I said as I heard complains coming from Taeyeon, Yuri, Sooyoung and Hyoyeon while I noticed Jessica blushing as she bite her lips.

"Aissshhhh... I should have expected that you'll come up with a cheesy answer. Why did I even bother to ask?" Taeyeon said as I just meronged at her.

"How about you, Hyo? What do you plan to do for the whole month while Seohyun is having her summer classes?" Yuri asked as everyone's attention shifted to Hyoyeon.

"I might be going to Bangkok." Hyoyeon replied as she ate a spoonful of rice.

"Really? With your parents?" Seohyun suddenly asked with a shocked expression.

"Anni.. With Min. But we've not confirmed anything yet since she need to get approval from her parents." Hyoyeon replied with a poker face as everyone looked at each other.

"Ooouuhhhh... okay. Enjoy your trip then." Seohyun replied as Hyoyeon just nodded her head and smiled at her.

"I'm getting some desserts for everyone. Anyone want to follow?" Seeing the slow reaction from the other girls, I had to glare at them. "I think Yul and Taeng should help me out."

When the two of them saw my eye signal, they quickly stood up and nodded their head. We were standing in front of the counter and looking at the different type of patbingsu when I started to voice out my concern.

"Don't you guys find it weird that Seohyun seem to be unaware about Hyo's plan to go to Bangkok?" I asked.

"Honestly, I was shocked too. Seohyun looks like she was caught offguard with Hyo's remark." Taeyeon said.

"The important thing is, should we be concern about her going there with Min? I mean we all know that Min is her bestfriend but won't Seohyun feel jealous or anything?"Yuri added her opinion.

"Even if she's jealous, Hyo will be oblivious about it." Sooyoung suddenly appeared behind us as we gave her a confused look. "I went to the Ladies earlier after you left. You should come back to the table soon before our girlfriends start to be suspicious."

We quickly ordered the dessert while Sooyoung headed back to the table first. 1hr later, all of us were back to our dorms after saying our goodbyes to our girlfriends. Playing scissors-paper-stone, we decided the sequence of who will be using the bathroom to shower first. While Hyoyeon was in the shower, the 4 of us gathered around in the living room to continue our discussion.

"Do you think we should let Hyo know about it?" I asked as I took my towel and dry my wet hair. Both me and Sooyoung had already taken our shower.

"What if Seohyun is actually okay with it?' Sooyoung asked as she stood up to walk to the kitchen to grab a bag of chips while the rest of us just looked at her in disbelief. "Wae?"

"I thought you just ate a bowl of bibimbap earlier. You even help to finish up Sunny's ramen." Taeyeon said.

"She even ate a bowl of patbingsu by herself." Yuri added on as Sooyoung walked back to us and sat down.

"This is just my midnight snack." Sooyoung replied while the rest of us just shook our head. "So, like what I said earlier. Seohyun even told her to enjoy her trip."

"I think Seohyun is being too nice about the whole thing. It's obvious that she was shocked and a bit upset about it if you watch her expression. It's just too bad that Hyo couldn't detect it." Yuri replied. "I used to be insensitive towards Yoongie's feelings but I've learnt my lesson and nowadays, I will pay more attention to her facial expression and gestures everytime we communicate."

"Anyone will be unhappy about it. Soo, imagine if Sunny did that with you. Suddenly declaring that she's going on a trip with Hyomin. How do you feel about it?" Taeyeon asked as Sooyoung stopped eating.

"Yah!! That's different because I know that Hyomin has a thing for Sunny. But Min is Hyo's bestfriend." Sooyoung answered, looking a bit agitated.

"To Hyo, Min is her bestfriend but we're unsure of how Min really feels about Hyo. Just like how unsure we're about Hyomin's feelings for Sunny." I said as Sooyoung pouted.

"Isn't it obvious that Hyomin has a crush on Sunny? All of you saw how excited she was when Sunny volunteered to be in the team. She even hugged my Bunny for 10seconds." Sooyoung folded her arms to show her unhappiness while we laughed at her.

"You even counted the time they hugged? Omo omo omo... our dear Shikshin is the jealous type." Taeyeon teased Sooyoung who quickly gave her a headlock while me and Yuri just laughed again.

"What's going on in here? And why is Soo and Taeng wrestling each other?" Hyoyeon came out while drying her hair.

"That midget was teasing Soo about her being jealous with Hyomin's action of hugging Sunny that time." Yuri answered.

"Ouuhhh... if I was Soo, I would be jealous too. It's so obvious that Hyomin has a crush on Sunny from the way she behave around Sunny." Hyoyeon answered as all of us looked at her with our eyes wide opened. "I'm going in to my room first. Need to do some research for the Bangkok trip."

After Hyoyeon left for her room, all of us turned back to face each other with the same puzzled reaction.

"Daebak." Taeyeon said as she kept blinking her eyes.

"She can see that Hyomin has a crush on Sunny but she's unaware that her girlfriend is unhappy with regards to her trip." Yuri said as she scratched her head.

"Sometimes, you can see things from an outsider point of view but things that are nearer to heart, it became oblivious." I said as Yuri and Taeyeon nodded her head.

"Do you think I should do something about Hyomin?" Sooyoung suddenly asked as we looked at her. "Should I try to find out how she actually feel towards my Bunny by asking her?"

"Soo, everyone knew that you and Sunny is a couple. How do you expect Hyomin to answer if you're the one who ask about it? She will obviously deny the fact if she really has feelings for Sunny." I said as Sooyoung slowly realised the situation.

"Then in that case, the rest of you can help me out by asking her." Sooyoung said with a grin on her face.

"But Soo, so far Hyomin only showed her hyperness to Sunny during practice. Other than that, I don't see her contacting or confessing anything to Sunny." Yuri said as me and Taeyeon nodded our head.

"Hyomin is also in another school compared to Sunny. If I'm not wrong, she's in school of business administration." Taeyeon said before she suddenly realised something. "Wait.. Sunny and Jae are also taking business management course right?"

Everyone's attention was then shifted to me as I blinked my eyes and looked back at them.

"If you all are wondering if Hyomin had looked for Sunny during our business classes, then my answer is no. I've only seen Hyomin during practices. Other than that, I've not seen her around. Unless she sneaks up and follows Sunny to the toilet since there are times that Sunny goes to the Ladies without me." I replied as I stood up to stretch. "By the way, are the both of you planning not to bathe? It's been 10mins since Hyo left the bathroom." I asked as I pointed to Yuri and Taeyeon.

Yuri quickly stood up and walked to the bathroom with her towel thrown over her shoulders. Both of us saw Sooyoung sighing and Taeyeon decided to throw a pillow at her face.

"Stop thinking too deep. Sometimes, over thinking will just worsen the situation and might affect your relationship with Sunny." Taeyeon said as Sooyoung meronged at her before grabbing her bags of chips.

The two of them then started to talk about other things like their radioshow and school stuff. I told them that I'm going back to my room to do some revision and they both just showed me their thumbs up.

After hanging my towel and getting my books and stuff from my school bag, I placed everything on my study table. I was about to sit down when I heard my phone beeping. I had left it to charge before showering. Plugging it out from the charger stand, I saw that I had two messages and both were from Jessica.

I opened the first message from Jessica.

To Jaegi:

Will you be staying up tonight for your revision? Remember to make sure that you don't sleep too late.

Reading her message, I smiled to myself as I opened the 2nd message.

To Jaegi:

Even though Seohyun had asked us to keep it a secret from all of you, I think that it's best if you know, Jaegi. Seohyun had called us out for a chat earlier and had asked our opinion with regards to Hyo's decision to go on a trip with Min. That poor girl could not control her feelings and cried. She said that she's actually upset about the whole thing but she didn't want Hyo to misunderstand her. She understands that Min is Hyo's long lost bestfriend but she can't help feeling jealous with their friendship. She felt like Min knew Hyo better than her and it made her feel small. Sunny and Tiff had talked to her and she seemed to have stopped crying. I just feel that we should do something to help her. Don't you agree, Jaegi?

Reading Jessica's long message, I sighed before typing in my reply.

To Sicababy:

I'm just about to start my revision. Don't worry, I won't stay up late. With regards to Seohyun, I agree with you that we need to help her out. I will try to discuss about it with the other girls except for Hyo and try to come up with something. Will update you about it okay. Thanks, Sicababy. You should get some rest too, even though tomorrow is a Sunday. Sweet dreams, my angel. =P

Yuri walked out from the bathroom at the same time that I exited from my room. Giving her a signal to follow me, both of us walked to the living room where Taeyeon and Sooyong were watching a soccer match. Both of them were busy sharing the bag of chips with their eyes glued to the screen that they didn't noticed me and Yuri standing there until I coughed out loud.

"Everyone... there's something that we have to do." I said as I showed the 3 of them the message that I received from Jessica.
