I Love You
Shikshin Love
During that one week, due to the preparation for her departure, Sooyoung was absent from school for the two days, including the day when they are having club activities. On that day, Yoona was especially listless, making a lot of mistakes on her own. They had to redo everything for many times because of that. Finally, when Yoona makes another mistake once again, they decided to stop and take a rest. After the decision to rest was made, Yoona left the room immediately, saying that she is going to the toilet. Sensing that something is not right, Taeyeon followed her to the toilet. Upon reaching the toilet, she found Yoona standing in front of the mirror. Her face is wet, probably because she just washed her face. However, that is not the only thing that Taeyeon notices about her. Her eyes are red and watery. Surprised, Taeyeon rushed to her side immediately.
“Yoona.. Are you crying..?” She asked, pulling Yoona to face her. Yoona did not answer. She looked at Taeyeon for a while, trying to hold in her tears but failed. It just keeps on forcing it way out. She could not hold it in any longer.
“Taengoo...” Yoona bends forward, hugging her short cousin, crying.
“What happen, Yoona? Why are you crying..?” Taeyeon patted her cousin on her head softly with one hand, and sent a message to Sunny on her phone with another.
To: Cute little Bunny
Come over to the toilet quick. Urgent.
P.S. Do not alert Yuri.
It did not take long for Sunny to come rushing into the toilet, thinking that Taeyeon is in trouble. Same as Taeyeon, she was surprised to see Yoona crying. Mouthing her words, she asked Taeyeon what happened and using the same method, Taeyeon replied that she did not know. Both of them tried hard to stop Yoona from crying and it took them nearly five minutes.
“So.. what happen..?” Taeyeon stared at the restless girl in from of her. She definitely look pale and weak. It was as though she did not sleep for days.
“... Why..?” Yoona said, looking back at the two shorties with her reddened eyes.
“Huh?”
“Why do my heart hurt so much...?” Yoona sat down on the floor and brought her knees closer to her face, covering her face. “Why do my heart hurt so much, just because I couldn’t get close to Youngie..”
“... Do you feel happy with her?” Taeyeon questioned suddenly.
“Taengoo! It’s not the time for this!” Sunny smacked her girlfriend lightly on her shoulder but Taeyeon ignored her. Sunny soon realise that Taeyeon is being serious right now. Very serious. She shifts her attention to the girl on the floor, waiting for her to respond to Taeyeon’s question. After a long silence, she nodded.
“Then, do you feel sad and painful when you could not be close to her even though she is just in front of you?” Taeyeon continued after seeing her response. Once again, she said nothing and nodded.
“You.. are in love, Yoona..” Taeyeon said, squatting down and putting her hand on the girl’s shoulder. The girl looked up immediately with a shocked expression. Taeyeon and Sunny went on to talk to her about Sooyoung’s heart. Initially, she seems to had cheered up but soon, the sign of happiness faded away. Before the two could inform her about Sooyoung’s decision to leave, Yoona stood up and walked away.
“It’s impossible.. the two of us.. Yul..” Yoona stopped and kept quiet, before going off without a word.
“These two are getting on my nerve.. They clearly love each other yet they are trying to avoid it..” Taeyeon stared at the door, banging the wall with her fist angrily. On the other hand, Sunny has a very worried look. She is worried about how Yoona would feel if she was to know that Sooyoung is leaving soon. The next day, Sooyoung is finally back. Thinking about how much time she would be left with to spend with Yoona, she tries her best to interact with her despite Yuri’s attempts to stop her. Yuri was of course getting angry with her but she decided to tolerate for Yoona’s sake. Finally, after three days, she approached Taeyeon.
“Hey Taengoo.” Yuri called out to the short girl walking in front of her.
“Oh? Yuri..” Taeyeon stopped and turns around, slightly surprise to see Yuri.
“Ask Sunny to ask Sooyoung to get away from Yoong.” Yuri spoke up immediately after stopping beside Taeyeon.
“What?!” Taeyeon opens her eyes wide, clearly shocked. “Aren’t you being too much?!”
“I have no choice. I don’t want Yoong to..”
“Shut up, Yuri! You don’t understand, do you? Did you even realise that Yoona has been really restless recently? Did you know why?” Taeyeon shouted and she did not wait for Yuri to reply before she continues. “It’s because you had been banning her from interacting with her friend. Her one and only friend. Her best friend! And the friend that she likes so much!”
“I have no choice!”
“You say that it’s for Yoona, but did you consider her feelings!?”
“Of course I do!”
“Then do you know that she actually likes Sooyoung!? Not as a friend but as someone special! Do you know that?! Do you know by banning her from interacting with Sooyoung had caused her to feel pain?!”
“Pain?”
“Pain in here.” Taeyeon pointed to her heart. “Do you know that she was crying on Tuesday?! She used going to toilet as an excuse to hide her tears! Do you know the feeling of liking someone, and wanting to talk to that someone, but is stopped by someone else from doing so?!”
Yuri kept quiet. She did noticed that Yoona’s eyes were red on Tuesday after she came back from the toilet but she never thought that she would be crying.
“Can you stop doing all these? You are hurting the both of them..” Taeyeon continued, seeing that there is no response.
“But I..” Yuri tried to make her stand once again but Taeyeon interrupted angrily.
“And Sooyoung is leaving soon! Are you going to let her leave without being able to talk to Yoona, and cause more pain to the both of them..?”
“She’s leaving..?”
“Yes. Because she feels hurt. It’s too much for her that she decided to leave. To sort out her feelings elsewhere.”
“... When..?”
“Tomorrow... She’s leaving tomorrow at 10:00 am...” Taeyeon replied, feeling tired from shouting too much. “You should know what to do if you understand what I say..” And with that, she walks away, leaving Yuri to stand on the street alone.
It is Saturday today, the day when Sooyoung is going to leave Korea for Japan. The three sisters had just finished their meals. To be exact, two of them finished their meals and one did not. Yoona is still refusing to eat more. It is clear that she was not happy at all and is hurting a lot. After cleaning up the dining table, Yuri sat down on the sofa and stared at the blank wall behind the television. Suddenly, Taeyeon’s voice ringed in her mind.
“Shut up, Yuri! You don’t understand, do you? Did you even realise that Yoona has been really restless recently? Did you know why?”
“It’s because you had been banning her from interacting with her friend. Her one and only friend. Her best friend! And the friend that she likes so much!”
“Then do you know that she actually likes Sooyoung!? Not as a friend but as someone special! Do you know that?! Do you know by banning her from interacting with Sooyoung had caused her to feel pain?!”
“...Pain..? I.. I’m causing pain to Yoong..?” Yuri murmured to herself. Being too deep into her thoughts, she did not notice that Seohyun is standing beside her until Seohyun shook her.
“Unnie..” Seohyun called out, sounding really worried.
“.. Yea?” Yuri looked at her younger sister.
“Yoona-unnie is..”
“Yoong.. Why are you crying..?” She asked. The girl turns around immediately and hugged her, not answering her question at all. “What is it? Tell me.”
“Youngie... Youngie is leaving.. She..” Yoona showed her the message that Sooyoung just sent her.
“I know, Yoong.. Taengoo told me about that..” Yuri took the phone and put it aside. Seeing her beloved sister like this hurts her. She knew she had to do something. “... Yoong.. Tell me honestly.. Do you like her?”
“.. Yul..?” Yoona looked surprised.
“Please. Tell me the truth. Do you?”
Yoona stared into Yuri’s eyes for a moment and nodded, looking away quickly.
“Why didn’t you tell me..?” Yuri pulled the girl to face her. “Why didn’t you tell me that my actions are hurting you..?”
“... I know that you don’t like it... You won’t accept it.. But Yul, I can’t bear it anymore... My. My heart.. It’s hurting so much.. I don’t know what to do..” Yoona pulled her sister and hugged her tightly, crying even more. Seohyun is standing at the door, witnessing the whole process and trying not to cry. Yuri kept quiet for a while before glancing at the time. They still have time.
“Yoong. Get changed. We are going somewhere.” Yuri pushed Yoona away, and opened the wardrobe. She picked out some clothes and threw it at Yoona. ”Seobaby, help me get a cab.” She said, before closing the door. Seohyun rushed to the telephone and called the taxi company, before calling Taeyeon. If they are fast enough, they will be able to reach there in time.
“Have you really consider this carefully..?” She asked her daughter.
“... Mum, there’s no other solution, right..?” The girl replied, holding in her tears. She did not want her mother to worry for her. She forced a smile.
“... I guess.. Be careful while you are there.. Remember to call me when you arrive at the airport there..” Her mother smiled weakly. She knows her daughter too well.
“Alright mum.. bye.. Take care..” And the girl walks towards the departure hall without turning back anymore. She was afraid that she might cry if she turns around to see her mother with a worried look. However, before she stepped into the departure hall, she thought she heard someone calling her.
“YOUNGIE!!” Indeed, there was. She turns around quickly, recognising the voice. It is Yoona. She is running towards her at high speed, and she is crying. The girl crashed right into her embrace and cried even more.
“Yoong..?!” Sooyoung was shocked. Even though she was hoping that Yoona would come but she did not expect that she would really come. And what surprised her the most was the whole gang was here, including Yuri. But there is not dark aura, even though Yoona is hugging her.
“Youngie... Please don’t leave.. I.. I don’t want you to leave..” Yoona continues to cry.
“Yoong.. why are you here..?” Sooyoung pulls away from the girl slightly and looked at her face. But before she could do anything, the girl pulled her back into her embrace.
“I.. I’m sorry, Youngie.. I... I’m sorry.. I could not bear it any longer... I.. I lov.. love you..” Yoona buried her face in Sooyoung’s clothes.
“Yoong..? You.. are you serious...?” Sooyoung could not believe her ears. The girl that she loves so much and the girl that she thought that they will never be together no matter what she do, is right here, hugging her tightly and confessing to her.
“Please take good care of her...” Yuri came forward and said. “If you dare bully her, I won’t let you off..” At that, dark aura starts to leak again. However, Sooyoung did not care about the dark aura anymore. The group began to crowd around the two of them.
“She already confessed. It’s your turn now, Sooyoung..” Taeyeon said, smiling. The rest nodded. Sooyoung looked at the girl in her embrace, and smiled.
“I.. Yoong... I.. I love you too..” Sooyoung puts her arms around the girl and kissed her on her forehead. “I love you, Yoongie..”
“Yoona.. Are you crying..?” She asked, pulling Yoona to face her. Yoona did not answer. She looked at Taeyeon for a while, trying to hold in her tears but failed. It just keeps on forcing it way out. She could not hold it in any longer.
“Taengoo...” Yoona bends forward, hugging her short cousin, crying.
“What happen, Yoona? Why are you crying..?” Taeyeon patted her cousin on her head softly with one hand, and sent a message to Sunny on her phone with another.

“Yoona-unnie is..”
.....
Yuri stood outside the room, and looked at the girl who is currently crouching on the bed, crying. She moves quietly into the room and sat beside the girl patting her on her back.“Yoong.. Why are you crying..?” She asked. The girl turns around immediately and hugged her, not answering her question at all. “What is it? Tell me.”
“Youngie... Youngie is leaving.. She..” Yoona showed her the message that Sooyoung just sent her.

Meanwhile, at the airport, a tall girl sat on the bench quietly as she stared at the entrance. It was as though she was waiting for someone to come. Her mother knew exactly what she was thinking. It had been almost half an hour since she sent that message and she had yet to receive a reply. And she probably would not. Soon, the time is up. The announcement for her to go into the departure hall is made. Both of them stood up and the girl is ready to get going.“Have you really consider this carefully..?” She asked her daughter.
“... Mum, there’s no other solution, right..?” The girl replied, holding in her tears. She did not want her mother to worry for her. She forced a smile.
