30 | Love

 

 

"I and Taeyeon had been into tough times before we got this happiness we have. It's not easy to think. But I know, we wouldn't be here because of what happened from the past. I swear, we're both guilty. We're both sad that it happen. If only we can turn back the time, we would be gladly correcting it. We're going to make it right for her... I am really so sorry... We are really so sorry. "

 

Yoona let out a sigh, as her mind recalled the last words she heard from Tiffany, before she had left. As she recalled, she can also recall how did Tiffany's face expressions just tell how sorry she was. How she wanted to talk to Seohyun again and say sorry for everything that happened. But to her dismay, she is a bit disappointed somehow that she's more like apologizing on behalf of Taeyeon. As if, she was the reason of all that things that happened. But despite all of these, she's looking forward to see Taeyeon too.

 

Slowly getting up from her seat, Yoona casually left the garden and proceeds to the Hospital's building. When she was about to pass In Guk's ward, she flashed a simple smile to the two Agents guarding his ward. She didn't missed also and check what is happening inside the room.

 

A sigh of relief - She caught In Guk talking to his doctor. She did not bother anymore and walked away, heading to her ward. Just then, she saw Luhan entering her ward. She giggles quietly as she just allow him without noticing her. She stopped just outside, wondering if Luhan would freak out or not for not seeing her inside.

 

Before she knows it, Luhan came out with a worried expression. But as soon as he saw his sister in front of the door, smiling brightly, she sighed in relief.

 

"Aigoo, I almost want to rush to that In Guk's ward Noona! You scared me!" Luhan said, couldn't help it and send her a glare. But the latter simply shrugs, as she passes at him. "So where have you gone?" So he decided to walk back inside.

 

"Just outside. I can't stay always in my room you know." Yoona simply replied, taking her seat at the edge of her bed. "You. How's School?"

 

"How's School? You know I'm always good. But wait, have you eaten supper? I'll just order in the cafeteria."

 

"Nah, I have told the nurse to bring me some already. No need to worry. How 'bout you?" She asked, as she casually move further to the bed. Luhan got her pillows and stuff it behind her, so she can have a better lean on the board.

 

"I have eaten before going here." Luhan replied truthfully.

 

"Hmm... That's good." Yoona nodded her head. She reached for a magazine on the night stand and began reading some few again. Though some, she had read it already.

 

"Um, Noona." Luhan suddenly look so a bit anxious in front of his sister.

 

Stirring her gazes away from the magazine, Yoona raised her brows towards her younger brother. "What is it?" She got a little bothered with the way he looks a bit worry with something.

 

"Can I ask you something?" Luhan proceeds.

 

"What is it?" Yoona chuckles amusingly.

 

Sighing, Luhan drop the question. "Do you really like Seohyun Noona?" He puff stressfully afterwards.

 

Yoona can't think of anything at the moment to excuse. Perhaps it's her heart's instinct, she slowly nod her head. 

 

"I knew it." Luhan groaned, somehow he had expect it. However, it aches his heart that it's now confirmed. "So what's your plan?" He helplessly asked.

 

"Plan?" Yoona was puzzled.

 

"Noona, Don't tell me you're going to date Jessica Noona while you like Seohyun Noona too?"

 

"What? I don't have anything in mind like that, Luhan! It's not what you are thinking!" Yoona strongly disapproved.

 

"Then What?" Luhan pouted sadly while crossing his arms near his chest. He felt like he really had no chance anymore.

 

"I... " The doe-eyed girl paused, as she search for the right words to say. Then, as it hits her head, she continued, "I can't share it to you. But here's a thing, I am not planning to date Director Jung. I value only our friendship."

 

Luhan had a widening of eyes. "SO you mean, you love Seohyun Noona?"

 

"Hmm... Yes." Yoona admitted, looking away from Luhan immediately. Her cheeks are turning a shade of red.

 

Luhan couldn't react. As if the world just crash on him, he felt like collapsing at any moment. Good thing and there's a chair nearby. He sighed and casually sat down. He looked back at his sister, the latter still couldn't looked into her eyes. "Noona, wae? From all the girls? You know I like her." whined him, quietly. He felt like She was so rigged towards him.

 

"I don't know Luhan - but it just happen. It just happen Luhan. I never knew it could be like this, being her Assistant. I'm sorry. I'm sorry if we're liking the same girl." Yoona finally looked at her brother, only to show how much she is sorry to her younger brother. "I'm sorry. I hope you don't mind it."

 

Luhan ruffles his hair incredulously.

 

"And for your information, I'm planning to tell Jessica this Sunday. I don't want to give hope on her anymore. I can not." Yoona stated undoubtedly.

 

"So instead, You're planning to Date Seohyun Noona?" 

 

Yoona trailed as she answers, "That's if, You're not planning to pursue her anymore "

 

Luhan could not answer. He got up and was about when Yoona callef out for him.

 

"Where are you going?" Yoona worriedly called.

 

"Let me think it first." Says Luhan, leaving the room entirely.

 

Dropping her shoulders lifelessly, Yoona also drop her head low. She let out a heavy sigh, as her eyes only fixed to the cover of the magazine. Somehow, a little regret engulfed her - that she replied to her brother like that. But on the other side, she knows its the best thing to do - be true to herself.

 

Turning her head to the left, she pouted sadly, realizing that it's already Thursday, but Seohyun never called her ever since her last call. Now she wonders if she could ever see her. It's already dark outside an there's still no sign of calls that she arrives already.

 

Again, she pouted. Sad and upset. The loneliness of not seeing the girl she likes is on it again. "Where are you? Please call now."

 

As if her answer was heard, the door on her ward opens. Heck, It's the least she expected.

 

"Oh, Director Jung." She flashed a weak smile.

 

Jessica did not notice her mood and smiled back, as she walks in, holding the food tray the nurse gave when she arrived in the door of the doe-eyed girl's ward. 

 

"Is that from the hospital?" ask Yoona to confirm it.

 

Taking her seat, Jessica put the tray with a bowl of beef soup and chicken salad on top of the night stand. "Yes. It's from them."

 

"Thanks for accepting it for me."

 

"Hold on." Jessica realized the window is open. So she got up and approach it. She waa about to close the window when suddenly the wind blows. And a dust makes its way to her left eye. "Ouch!" She literally close her eyes tight and tried to wipe it off.

 

Upon seeing the scene, Yoona quickly rush to Jessixa's side. "Hold on. Open your eyes. Don't close it." she demanded, as she held her head in both sides.

 

Complying, Jessica did but only to close it again. Yoona tried to open her eyes forcefully rather and blow an air to it. She keep doing it as she tried to locate the dirt. Jessica supported herself by holding her on her forearms.

 

Meanwhile, outside the hospital, Zac and Seohyun just arrived. Both are wondering why the driver take them in a hospital as Donghae only dropped in his apartment.

 

"I am not suppose to drop you both here. But as Chairman's request, I'll drop you two here."

 

"Why here? Who is in the hospital?" asked Seohyun, totally puzzled.

 

"Um, Miss Im Yoona, Miss Seo. Let me bring you guys there."

 

"What? What happened to her?" Seohyun exclaimed, as soon as she heard it.

 

"Didn't she tell you? She recently have encounter In Guk. She was shot twice on her arm Miss Seo "

 

Seohyun has no more words to says. She eventually rushed to the information desk of the hospital. Zac could only chased her.

 

The moment she got the floor and room number, she just sprinted almost immediately. That concern all over her soul is definitely kicking in. Obviously, Yoona did not tell her so she won't be too concern and go back right away. But now that she knows, she can't waste a single second. The excitement of seeing Yoona again was mixed with concern and anxiety. Hell no, she's also mad of her cousin. She's really going to kill In Guk for hurting her Yoonggator. But for now, seeing the girl is her mission.

 

After a while, she finally found the ward. But before she could just barge, Zac ask her to calm down. And so she did.

 

"Go." Zac says, stepping aside.

 

Reaching for the door, Seohyun pushed the door open. But much to her dismay, she did not mean to catch it - Yoona is apparently kissing... Jessica?

 

"Yoo... Yoongie?" She called out so loud, sounded so surprised. Everything just  crashed in front of her. And for some unknown reasons, she felt the scene dejavu. The heartache is so familiar. Then it hits her, when she knew Taeyeon and Tiffany has been dating, she caught them kissing in a park she used to hang out with them. Yes, it's the same - but this time, her entire world just crashes. Too different from Taeyeon and Tiffany. Perhaps, this is true love.

 

"Omo. S-Seohyun?" Yoona immediately stopped blowing an air to Jessica's eyes and turned to see Seohyun, already standing in front. But her horrified expressions is just so wrong. "W-Wait..  It's not what you are - BOSS!" she literally shouted the moment Seohyun left, crying and heartbroken.

 

"Yoona No!" And before she could chase her, Jessica is holding her on her waist, preventing her. 

 

Everything is so mess in Yoona's mind now. She wanted to chase and explain it to her, but her arm was pressured and the pain went back. The wound opens. "AHHHH!!!!" she drops in her knees screaming in pain. But more importantly, she's screaming out of her heart. 

 

Jessica quickly rush out calling for Doctors.

 

 

 

 

[Hug Club]

 

 

It's been a while since Hyo have seen her friend in the club. However, she did not like the view. Rather than being happy that she's back in the club, after her work in the U.S., she felt so concern. Apparently, She's in one of the table in the corning, hanging out with an unknown american guy while a slow music is filling up the club. She's not like this when she left the country. What happened? The changed is so drastic. She couldn't understand.

 

Yet, her questions were answered when that American guy approached the bar counter and ask for a wine rather than any alcoholic drinks they're offering.

 

"What is happening to my friend?" She asked in her native language, which caused for the guy to looked at her quizzically. She mentally slap her face for forgetting the guy is an american, and doesn't know her languagage. So she rephrase it. "My friend. What happens to her? Why does... she looks like she had gone from crying?" Not on american accent, but at least she tried. 

 

"Oh, So you're talking about Seo Joohyun. Before anything else, I'm Zac. One of FAB USA branch shareholder and team manager at the same time." Zac extended his hand, introducing himself.

 

Hyoyeon flashed a shy smile to the handsome American guy. "Kim Hyoyeon, Seohyun's best friend." As she then shook their hands.

 

"Cool. I'm also her friend. Um, Can I have the drink for her now?" Zac reminded before hr could explain what is happening to their friend.

 

"Ah, yeah sure." Hyoyeon her fret and walks out to the bar's storage room. It didn't take long and she went back, handing the wine. "She loves grape wine. Here, take this." With two wine glasses as well. "So what?"

 

"Well to start with, she absolutely in a bad mood. Why? She caught her girlfriend kissing another girl in her ward earlier. She was so heartbroken. But don't worry, I'm trying to comfort her. Anyway, Nice to meet you Miss Kim." Zac flashed another charming smile before he turns and walks away - heading to his and Seohyun's table.

 

Hyoyeon was speechless in her place. She did not expect to hear 'girlfriend' in Zac's words. Which just means, Yoona and Seohyun are now dating? "Oh God. Why I just know this?" She literally smack her forehead. No wonder these recent days, Yoona had been so happy. And Seohyun seems calling her for this past 4 days. "Wow... But wait... Yoona kissing another gir? Was it Jessica?" She exclaimed, as she realized it. "Damn you Yoona."

 

Meanwhile, Zac is pouring Seohyun a wine on her glass, can't help it and sigh, watching that tired and sad face of his friend.

 

"Hyun, I don't know what have you seen but as far as I am concern, You shouldn't have run out. You should have wait for her explanation. We never know, It was just a mistake." Zac only sighed when Seohyun simply pick up the glass and drink it. "You seriously believe she cheated, No?"

 

"It's the same like the last time. I'm sure she did. I'm sure she just used me." came Seohyun's cold voice - loud enough despite the music in the background.

 

Zac coffed. "So its like, you've seen your past from them? And quickly jump into conclusions? You know what? I'm not honestly have the right to judge your judgement, but in terms of love, I can. I've been into relationships and you know that. And this is actually cliche for me. Couples breaking up because of miss judgement whatsoever. One advise, if you want to stay happy in love, learn how to listen."

 

Putting the glass down to the table, Seohyun finally turned her head to Zac. "For your information, that girl there she's with likes her. What do you want me to react with that? They're so close and most likely, they're kissing. Yes, they're." She turned away to pour herself another glass.

 

"You sounded like you're not sure they're kissing."

 

"I'm sure they're. Just like Taeyeon and Tiffany. I still can remember it. It's totally the same. You know what I think?! No one cares for me dearly. No one loves me truthfully. All of them, they just want my money." Seohyun cracked a bitter laugh, letting all the tears drop once again. Her chest, it's seriously heavy and aching. That she feels like she's no longer going to take it tomorrow. As if, she needs to die like right now. 

 

Zac rolled his eyes, out of annoyance. His friend's stubborn nature is really something. He so wanted to knock his head a lot of times - so she can ses her mistake. The past and present are too different. But what else she can do? The girl is going to think what she thinks. And she will surely believe it. Though he didn't know what the girl caught, he had a feeling it was a mistake.

 

He can only pick up the glass of wine and pour himself, accompanying his broken friend.

 

On the other side of the club, Hyoyeon is behind the bars, trying to contact Yoona. But to her dismay, the girl is not picking up. 

 

She started to walk back and forth, still trying to reach the girl's phone. But as she got impatient, she frowned when she saw Seohyun, dragging Zac with her to the center of the dance floor. The club is on blast with loud music again - the reasons why Seohyun seems to get wild. Her eyes widened when the latter is grinding her body with Zac. Good thing and Zac seems not taking advantage. He is just standing still, just watching and allowing the the girl do whatever she wants.

 

"Damn. Pick up Yoona. Pick up please... I need some explanation here. Don't ignore me." She keeps on chanting, hoping the girl will finally pick up. While she's waiting, she's watching getting wild more when a water was release from the ceiling. Zac had already given up and started to dance with their friend. People are shouting and screaming, momentarily.

 

After a while, Yoona finally answers the call. She quickly went back to the kitchen and closed the door securely.

 

"Yah! Whay happened? Seohyun is here, heartbroken! Seriously Yoona! I warned you right? If you ever hurt her, you're getting this on ME!!!" She greeted her angrily.

 

[ Where's she? I need to talk to her. She mistook it. I was only blowing an air to Jessica's eyes because there was a dirt on her eyes.]

 

Hyoyeon trailed off. "What?" As she couldn't believe Yoona's side. "She thought You and Jessica are kissing."

 

[That's what I thought too. She is just exaggerating the things here. I am not gonna do that thing. NEVER!]

 

Hyo giggles at defensive assault by the younger girl. "Yoona..."

 

[Hmm?]

 

Feeling giddy inside, Hyoyeon undoubtedly asked, "Are you and Seohyun officially a couple now?"

 

[…]

 

"Don't deny it. Why would you talk like that? And how do you know Seohyun mistook it if you don't have
