-----------------
Previously on "Doughnut" PART 5...
You awakened early in the morning and went already to your shop which is still closed so far. You are waiting along with your car beside you, waiting for Sana to meet you again.
More than 30 minutes passed and a black van arrived in front of you. You walked near to the door, and Sana opened the tinted window to see you clearly.
Sana: "Good morning, YN!", she greeted you. It was not that full of energy since she looks like she's somewhat still sleepy after waking up early too.
YN: "Good morning too."
Sana: "You can follow our van on the way to the airport so that it's just easy for you to go.", she said to you. You just nodded while listening to her. "Oh, uhh by the way... YN let me introduce you to my friend from work who's also joining as a model for the brand we're endorsing.", she said as she turned her head to the other side looking at another mysterious figure beside her that caught your attention who may that be since that person is being covered by Sana and the darkness inside the van.
Sana: "YN, meet Kim-",
YN: "DAHYUN?!", you exclaimed her name in shock as Sana moved away a bit to reveal Dahyun, who moved forward and looked at you with disbelief and shyness in her face.
Dahyun: "YN.", she also said your name embarassingly while Sana was just left speechless as she looked at both you and Dahyun, confused how did the two of you know each other.
----------------------
Sana: "You knew YN too?", Sana asked Dahyun beside her as she can't get over at how it was very surprising for her to see that her friend and colleague she's with right now is also close to you.
Dahyun: "Yup. I was surprised too that you two know each other.", she said, chuckling at her thought similar to Sana's.
Sana: "So as I. Well now this seems interesting.", she pursed her lower lips while nodding her head. "How long do you know YN?"
Dahyun: "4 years and counting.", she showed her hands where 4 out of 5 fingers of hers were raised, the thumb being hidden in her palm.
Sana lets out an "ooh" sound, mainly in fascination. Sana: "Pretty long. Well then, how did you two met?", she continued asking more.
Dahyun: "Back when we were in college at the time, he was my seatmate," she explained, as memories of your friendship with her from your high school days flashed through her mind. "I remember when he was the new addition to our class section, and lucky for him that he was sat with a social butterfly like myself, he got to get close and build a bond with his first new classmate, which was me... and only me," she continued.
You were feeling tension and uneasiness coursing through your nerves at the time since you were completely immersed in a new world around you, and you had no idea who these unfamiliar faces were.
Keeping your own self steady and still even though the atmosphere is suffocating you, thanks to this one woman who slowly approached beside you with a smile as bright as her looks; it was quickly prevented in a snap when she began to willingly talk with you, encouraging you to make a conversation with her.
All you can feel after was calmness and relaxation because of that, because being with her already made you can tell that you'll be very comfortable at her presence beside you at all times.
And that is where your story started with Dahyun.
"The rest was history. How was yours though?"
Sana: "Well, my step bro works for him.", Sana took the turn to answer a question this time.
Dahyun: "Oh, really?", she gasped and her eyebrows raised in awe. "What is he in YN's doughnut shop?"
Sana: "Manager position. Not to brag that much but he's YN's most trusted employee out there.", she smiled proudly as she thinks about her step-bro who might be preparing again to engage in another day of accomplishing his duty in your shop.
"Because of his great performance in YN's business, he developed some fond with him which is a great development too as I say.", she said. "So, going back to your question... yeah I do met YN because of my step bro."
"One time I visited the shop and while I was waiting there for Chan; my step bro's name, he talked with me as you know... another way for me to be entertained, which I didn't asked him to do by the way. But i'm not complaining.", she explained her own story on how you first met Sana at that night in the shop, where you tried to entertain her by coming up with a conversation with her while she waits for Bang Chan to be prepared on leaving the shop and going home with her.
Dahyun: "It simply goes to show that he's a truly great man," she added, impressed by the comment of how good your personality is, based on Dahyun's observation and experience.
Sana: "Yup! Add his attractive face as well!" she giggled, her cheeks turning a bright crimson from her big grin. "No wonder I fell in love with him," she said, making Dahyun to furrow her brows and staring at Sana in astonishment. She was doubting herself, had she heard correctly that Sana has affections for you?
Dahyun: "Wait, for real?", she asked Sana shockingly.
Sana: "Yeah, and I already confessed to him btw but... he didn't answer on what he would do to my feelings though.", her smiled slowly shrinked at the recall. "Well, I understand since it's hard for him knowing that he had a bad time in-", Dahyun instantly interrupted her when she heard those words, which gave her a sign that something wrong had happened to you that she was unaware of.
Dahyun: "W-what happened to him?", she asked Sana in panic, her panting breaths are slowly occuring.
Sana: "He and his ex girlfriend parted ways. Well, way worse... it's due to cheating from the girl's part.", and with that, Dahyun finally knew what exactly occurred to you that caused you to struggle accepting Sana's affections back. It all makes sense to her now.
But she's not happy about it. A combination of feelings is forming on her, with a portion of her upset and angry with herself for having the thought that she could've come to your help as an option, but she didn't. It was causing her to degrade her image and role as a friend to you, comparing her current self to her old self, where she was able to be there for you whenever she could.
Dahyun: "No way. I-I don't know what to say... I... I could've..." she began babbling as her overthinking filled her mind with numerous possibilities.
Sana: "I know, that's what I also felt and thought when I heard it from him," Sana remarked, attempting to show Dahyun that she understands what the younger is going through right now. "As a friend, you can't help but feel guilty for not being there for your fellow friend when you knew he needed someone to pour out the uneasy sensation that fills and makes his heart heavy, right?" Dahyun sadly nodded.
Dahyun: "So I supposed you already comforted him about it?"
Sana: "Yeah, well that's where I also accidentally spilled out my secret."
Dahyun: "Oh." She doesn't have a more explicit and comprehensive answer to that since she isn't sure how she will feel about it.
She had to feel relieved that at least you had a back to lean on during that trying time, but bitterness was also present.
She guessed that if Sana hadn't even needed to give the information where she told her that she was falling in love with her, it could've been better and more evident for her to feel.
Yes, she was kind of... jealous and hurt when she learned that somebody was also admiring the same guy she adores too... and it turned out to be her friend and colleague also.
"Poor YN doesn't deserve it at all. How can be that girl broke his trust and heart at the same time like that. I feel bad for him so much.", she sighed heavily.
Sana: "Same, Dahyun. Same."
"I do feel really guilty for myself and I have my reasons, you know?", she said while pointing at herself.
Sana: "Then do it, Dahyun. Don't hesitate about it, all you want for him to know is that you care about him anyways," Sana said as she held Dahyun's hands, sensing the uneasiness that is taking over her body and wishing it would go away as she tries to cool her down; not wanting to let it affect her too much that might distract her later.
After travelling in the same plane as them, you all arrived in Jeju a few hours later, where you were introduced to the workers, notably the managers.
After waiting with the audience that had assembled for this event, which was held today in beautiful weather, it eventually began. The hosts then invited the ambassadors of the product being promoted at this event to introduce themselves to us. You may have noticed Sana and Dahyun making their way to the stage, representing their outfits that made them look exceptionally fabulous to look at, as well as their speech to thank the brand for choosing them.
Sana wore a pink dress that complemented her beautiful womanly form, whereas Dahyun wore white, which complemented her flawless and silky pale complexion.
They made several poses in front of the cameras, and you can see that Sana was utilizing her slick moves to wow you even during her work. You may say she nailed it, given that she made you flush with some sneaky gestures pointing towards you.
Although Sana had your focus, you didn't let yourself be completely taken when you turned your sight to Dahyun, who was just doing her thing; balancing your treatment for the two. When you saw her staring at you, you smiled back and gave her and Sana both thumbs up, indicating that they are doing great right now and demonstrating how supportive a friend you are today for them.
After 2 hours and a half, you returned to each of your allotted spots to stay for the day here in Jeju.
Dahyun requested you to accompany her on a walk around the island. You asked if you might invite Sana as well, but she replied she was going away with her managers for a bit.
Having without anything to do for it, you just let myself to spend some time with her since you need this anyways. I haven't got to be in touch that much with Dahyun after your unexpected encounter back at the museum along with Chaeyoung.
Dahyun: "It's been a long time, hasn't it?" Dahyun asked as you walked with her along the trail that leads to the lighthouse at the end along a cliff. "Having a moment where it's just you and I being in our own world.", she was adjusting her thick furry blanket while she said that.
YN: "Yeah, kinda feels nostalgic.", you sighed in longing. "I do missed this, thanks Dahyun.", you have her a side glance for you to give her your warm smile.
Dahyun: "You're welcome.", she returned the appreciation you gave. "I feel sad thinking about it still."
YN: "Why?"
Dahyun: "It's not the same as before. I already expected that a time like this would come but... I still hated it.", she pouted when she crossed her arms, sulking.
"That the words "I miss you" will be the words that only connects us anymore.", she said as she looked at you; showing her sadness that is plastered on her face at this thought of hers.
YN: "So what do you pertain by it, Dubu?", you called her by her nickname.
Dahyun: "That I wanted to spend more time with you again as much as I can, YN.", she said, entangling her fingers behind her back. "Not this type of meeting where we only having this moment just because of coincidence. Simply, just like the good times we had before."
YN: "Only that?" you inquired, raising your brow once more. "Sure, Dahyun. I'd like that idea of yours," you said, shrugging your shoulders and chuckling. That made Dahyun smile. "I'll do my best to join you if I'm available; you know I won't say no, right?" you teased her, which luckily caused Dahyun's lips curve upwards again.
Dahyun: "Promise?", she asked you and made a smirk.
YN: "Promise." You, too, did the same. You offered her your pinky finger, which she gratefully clasped with her own, finally ensuring her that you two will keep your promises.
Dahyun:"Aaaaaa I'm so pleased!" she exclaimed, raising both her fists in the air, making you giggle a little because of how adorable she is acting. "You never change, you always put a smile on my face no matter what..." she paused, only to revert her demeanor to serious. "...but I also want to apologize."
YN: "Huh,why? For what?", you gently asked her in your confusion.
Dahyun: "Sana told me what happened to you," she said, a simple remark that poured out of her mouth, full with sympathy for you; it was that simple for you to share her look.
YN: "Please, not now Dahyun. It's over now. I prefer that we don't talk about it...especially her anymore." you sighed as you swiped your hand away from the topic.
Dahyun: "I know, but I just feel bad about it." She paused in her steps, which you did as well, albeit little late than her. She's now standing in front of you after you turned around.
"I still care about you, okay? I could've spent my free time these past few days visiting you," she remarked, pouring out the amount of remorse she is absorbing. "But I'm delighted you're doing well now, YN; you deserved better."
You approached her and moved closer in front of her, delicately placing your hand on top of her shoulder and squeezing it softly to cheer her up. YN: "I appreciate that, Dahyun, but please don't blame yourself, okay?" you pleaded with her.
It's a relief that she nodded her head in answer to you. Dahyun:"I will, because Sana already consoled you while you were carrying that heavy heart of yours at the time."
YN: "She also mentioned that too?"
Dahyun: She made a hum. "She even mentioned how she just randomly spitted out her confession to you at that time," she added, the lack of amusement on her face is quite clear, but you're too preoccupied with what each other is talking about, so you just ignore it.
YN: "Yeah, that was unexpected, but I thanked her for doing that," you remarked to her, expressing your appreciation for Sana's bravery in exposing her actual feelings to you.
Dahyun: "I know what she did was very thoughtful and comforting so... I should... be feeling fine now.. right?", she said as her voice trembling. Being the blind and dumb you are, it was unbeknownst to you that Dahyun was getting a little bit confused at what she has to feel for that.
A part of her wants to be grateful for Sana's assistance... There's also a part of her that's distracting her by repeating the words "it should've been me" over and over, making her unhappy and envious.
YN: "You should be," you replied. She wanted to do so, but she recognized it wasn't going to be simple.
Dahyun: "Uhh... hey, we can get a good image at this position here. Cmon, let's try it," Dahyun said, pointing to a very wide space specialized for people to take pictures freely at any angle they wish to capture themselves with the excellent scenery around.
Dahyun dragged you along with her, and you surrendered your body to her as you followed her from behind. It didn't take long to get there because you two were already close to the end of the trail.
You both came to a halt in front of the lighthouse, which was perched on a rock overlooking the rest of Jeju and the surrounding body of water.
If you're afraid of heights, it was terrible to stare down, but if you're not, you'll be easily distracted by the wonderful beauty of it.
YN: "Hey, Dahyun! Mind if you step a little further away from it? Safety precautions," you asked as Dahyun moved closer to the lighthouse.
Dahyun: "You're worried I'll fall, aren't you?" Dahyun asked in a sing-song tone, acting like a child who doesn't take your warning as an adult seriously and instead takes it jokingly.
YN: "A big YES." Your voice became louder at that final phrase, indicating how uneasy you are right now.
Dahyun: I don't mind; you'd catch me if I fall, right? ", she smirked at you; which was the THIRD time you evaded her smooth moves to you; still unable to spot the indications she's showing you that there's something in there she's been hiding from you.
YN: "Aish, Dubu, stop it." you groaned. "The possibility of that is very low, so please be careful instead; I can't risk losing you here," you stated. Finally, Dahyun reddened at your statement. "Okay, and 1...2...3!" she said, striking a position; happily, the sun was still cooperating for her background, despite its low angle due to the fact that the present season is still winter. "Would you like more?" she just nodded, and you promptly obliged, capturing another shot of images for her.
Dahyun: "Woah daebak, these are all perfect!" exclaims Dahyun as she examines the photos you shot one by one, flicking the phone to the right.
"Your turn, go there! I can let myself be the only one who's going to have a fantastic photo here in Jeju, you know," she pulled you forward, and you simply followed her. You are now in the position she was in near the lighthouse. "1... 2... 3!", you performed a pose as well, but because you're not particularly photogenic, you did it awkwardly by placing your hands on your hoodie and making a peace sign at the following one. Despite this, you are already content with doing it.
YN: "Thanks, Dahyun.", you said after checking your pictures.
Dahyun: "There you go, now it's a win win for the both of us.", she said proudly.
YN: "Oh look! the sunset!" you exclaimed as you looked up at the sky, where the little sun can be seen, about to vanish to welcome the moon and welcome in the darkness by shifting its position above.
Dahyun: "It's very beautiful.", Dahyun muttered as she joined you looking at it anticipatingly.
YN: "C'mon, let's take one more. Come closer beside me." You opened your phone's camera and immediately pulled Dahyun behind you, her body now sticking and leaning at your side.
Dahyun: "O-okay...", the only words she can say because she's too speechless at this intense blushing she's having as it began when you wrapped your arm behind her band and grasped her shoulder.
You two took a photo together, and Dahyun was left surprised and bewildered by your actions as you both continued to gaze at the sunset in front of each other's eyes.
It reminds her of when she first formed affections for you and you did the same thing for her. It was also afternoon at the time, and the sunset occurred after you had just completed playing with Dahyun to spend your weekend free time together.
YN: "Dahyun... Dahyun- ah! Hello, is someone there?", you keep calling her name. "Dubu!!!"
Dahyun: "Oh yes... hmm... oh Y-YN what is it," Dahyun hastily reacted after being awakened by your loud clap, sparing her from unconsciousness.
YN: "Looks like the one I'm talking to about how beautiful the sunset is here on Jeju Island doesn't comprehend it all since clearlyyyy she's drowning in her thoughts so... mind spilling what's going on in your mind?" you added, laying your hands on each side of your waist.
Dahyun: "A-uhm... I just remembered something... magical.", she reasoned out.
YN: "That's odd. Well, somewhat understandable, given how this moment feels like it's out of the world we're entering into." You agreed with her. "Just one glimpse at this breathtaking scenery makes you-"
Dahyun: "It reminded me of that one time in high school, YN," she stopped you off before ultimately responding with further detail. She did it because she wanted you to think about it as well, because you were also very happy at that time when you joined her.
Is there any other emotion you had to express than happiness when you discovered that your crush liked you back?
"Same as this, a deja vu definitely... and it was where I first fell in love with you, right?", she said, reminding you more.
YN: Oh... yeah.", you sheepishly smiled. "You told me about that when you confessed to me.", you looked at her. "And when I told you too that it was actually also part of sending signals to you.", you laughed at it. She joined you too but her was softer and also nodding her head up and down.
Dahyun: "Kinda hurts knowing that your feelings back then weren't a part of this déjà vu we're having... but mine," she continued, making you wonder what she meant by that, which prompted her to react like this.
YN: "Dahyun?"
Dahyun: "YN... when I learned what Sana did to you.. I don't know what to feel about it honestly.", she glanced again at the sun nearly about to leave the sky. "I know I should be just fine but it was too bittersweet for me."
YN: "Dahyun... are you telling me that-"
Dahyun: "YN... I'm still tied to our past, with you," Dahyun replied, her bitter smile encapsulated through her lips, voluntarily confirming your guess. "Yes, I still love you, YN... but don't get me wrong, I don't expect you to feel the same for me," she began to clarify. "I just wanted to let you know that after we ended our thing together... the more I realized how much it hurts not to be able to be in your arms again rather than being lost with you on our relationship," she continued.
"But right now, having you near me today just you and I... I wanted to just ask the question that makes me wonder if do you... still also wanted to try it out again too, wondering if... it could finally work?", she asked you shyly about it.
YN:"I do..." you said swiftly. It made her happy to hear about it, knowing that you are also disheartened that you had a relationship with Dahyun just because you were both too eager to love and did not first determine if both of you are ready to enter a new form of liking for each other.
... But it was years ago, Dahyun.", you connected the rest of the words with it, making Dahyun's heart clench hardly. She remembered Sana instantly, and the thought of what if Sana was getting successful now to attract you is what worried her.
But her negative ideas got vanished when you explained more to her, which is a relief. "It's not gonna be easy to recover that feeling I lost when I was also having it for you even in the aftermath of our break up like at the time for today... so that I could just tell you the same too that I want you back and let us start all over again."
Dahyun: "Like I was saying, I am not expecting, YN. I get it, you're still recovering and healing your heart... and I respect it that you need to take your time still.", she grabbed your wrist and gently patted it.
YN: "Are you gonna be fine with it?", you asked her perturbedly.
Dahyun: "I have to.", she nodded, giving you a smile that's telling you to trust her. " So don't worry, YN. I can wait for you, like I did just to have this moment where I could show you how I'm still into you after all this time even we haven't seen each other for a long time.", she assures you. " I just hope that I'll get the ending I need to have, which is to have you again."
You felt touched at Dahyun's words. YN: "Thank you for your understanding, Dahyun. Really, I didn't felt pressured at all.", you let out an appreciating grin to her; showing how Dahyun made you untroubled even though she just added herself to the list of women who will battle it out just to get your heart; mainly your friends.
Dahyun: "As what it should be, YN.", she said. After that, she pushed herself towards you; crashing her body onto yours to enwrap you into a tight hug. "I pray to the god's above in heaven that I could show you much I'm fully prepared for another shot of us again soon.", she whispered through your ear, sending you chills throughout your spine.
YN: "Good luck, Dub.", you encouraged; caressing her back. She lets go away from your body after a moment of silence during at each other's embrace.
Dahyun: "Did you also do the same too with Sana?", she curiously asked you.
YN: "Yup. I also gave her a chance too."
And the others too. You added in your mind.
Dahyun: "So I guess I got some competition.", Dahyun chuckled. You got a bit taken aback when she said that because it sounded like she's also referring fron what you just secretly said in your mind. "Sana is my friend but when it comes for you... but sorry, I must make my wait even more worth it.", she said, looking motivated as ever to do her best for you.
YN: "Wow, looks like someone's fighting spirit is showing right now HAHAHAHA", you said impressively. Dahyun just chuckled at it.
2 DAYS LATER
You returned from Jeju for Sana and Dahyun two days ago. Of course, you had a good time with them... Although it felt a little awkward knowing you were with two of the girls that were admiring you.
You can see some of their moves, and it was clear that Sana and Dahyun were switching turns unknown to them. The most memorable thing each of them did was when Sana retrieved some aegyos from her pocket and Dahyun kissed you on the cheek after your dumb self inadvertently bumped my head against the wall due to how sleepy you are.
Aside from that, you can't help but feel scared for them because your mind was telling you these what ifs about Sana and Dahyun both trading envy and anger building up as they chose to keep it to themselves instead; giving you reason to believe that they both know what they're doing to you.
Returning to the present, you are now in Gangdong-gu, a district of Seoul, where your friend Chaeyoung resides. You went to her house since you had bought more strawberries from her as an ingredient for your cake products in your shop.
Chaeyoung: "What did you do in Jeju?", she asked you while pulling out two strawberries and putting it in her basket. She moved next, still keeping her squatting posture.
YN: "Visited a fashion show there."
Chaeyoung: "And when did you had any interest with those?", she confusedly asked while looking at you with her signature crumpled expression.
YN: "Hey, I know and I still don't okay.", you said, denying her speculation. "The only reason I was there because my friend just invited me to watch.", you explained your side.
Chaeyoung: "You have a friend who's doing modeling?"
YN: "Yup, she's an actress too. Not to mention, her colleague was coincidentally my friend too who's also the same as hers.", you chuckled when you remembered how shocked you are when you discovered that Dahyun was the secret person Sana was talking about that she'll join along with her and you to Jeju.
Chaeyoung: "I envy them.", she pouted and returned back to pulling strawberries out of the plant.
YN: "Cmon, Chaeyoung don't go to that topic again.", you sighed while shaking your head.
Chaeyoung: "Yeah yeah I know, be satisfied with my artistic hands.", she presented you her pair of hands covered in gloves, wiggling it. "Yes I get it.", she rolled her eyes which made you just wheeze at her.
"Congrats to you and Tzuyu by the way.", she said, changing the topic. Her voice became quite lower compared to earlier.
YN: "Seems that she told you about it.", you said, continuing to watch her doing her job of managing her beloved fruits for business.
Chaeyoung: "Ofcourse, she will, i'm her friend and the supportive one for you two."
YN: "You're right about what you said about her story that was long untold to me." You lowered your head, the guilt returning as you recall your meeting with Tzuyu that changed your story with her for good after years of bad blood that ended up simply being caused by misunderstanding.
"I was just completely in total astonishment and disbelief that I actually wasn't the victim here all along," you added, recounting your serious talk with Tzuyu. "I had no idea she was going through the same thing as me, and worse, hers was doubled, and I feel like I had something to do with it, knowing she was still loving me the same after all this time, but she knew I hated her with all my heart for something she never did in the first place," you sighed heavily as you finished talking.
Chaeyoung: "See? Now you know why I keep urging you to let her talk, YN," Chaeyoung said as she stood up and pointed at you. "I knew Tzuyu, and you know it, is very vulnerable and too soft to be handled like this by her parents."
"She had no other people around her who could save and fix her again, but only us as her only remaining people she loved the most in her life who never turned back to her, so why am I telling you this as if I don't know what Tzuyu did to you was the opposite of what I said?" she paused for a second with a purpose, and she achieved it when your curiosity increased.
" Because when I learned from you that she's trying to reconnect with you for the first time in 2 years, I decided to choose this side of mine that's telling me there's something was wrong with her only being able to show a sign of her presence instead of choosing to be biased by just letting myself siding over you, even though you were only became the victim here because we never heard any side from her, not yet.", she explained.
You agreed and understood everything Chaeyoung was pointing out. "And I apologized terribly for that, I do," you replied, an apologetic smile on your lips.
"I deserved any consequences for it, but she spared and forgiven instead, choosing to show me this one thing I really liked the most out for her before," you remarked as a memory of how you first developed affections for Tzuyu began to play in your head.
You recalled how Tzuyu just stay all okay whenever she listens and see you make mistakes or cause a problem. Her positivity is too contagious where all you can do is just to be like her and believe her for that, and it helped very much. You learned how to became better and avoid anything like it to happen again.
Aside from her ethereal beauty, the more times she consoles, motivates, and advises you, the more you grew to like Tzuyu. Then one day you had the confidence to tell her about how he makes you feel in love with her, and happily she shared back with the same explanation as yours, verifying that both of you love each other more than a friend.
Chaeyoung: "I noticed the past tense, but hers wasn't right?", she forced out a smile to you. She wanted to be very happy about it but ofcourse knowing that she do also secretly loves you too just makes her heart ache.
YN: "She shared about it too?"
Chaeyoung: "Y-yeah.", she stuttered, uncontrollably showed a hint of her discomfort about this. "Makes me feel pity for her even more, but still glad that she was able to tell it finally too.", she faked a smile again.
"She said also that you gave her a c-chance?"
YN: "She deserves it, that's all I have to say Chae."
Chaeyoung: "O-okay," Chaeyoung said, nodding. She's literally wearing a mask right now, the truth buried beneath it, and that is her, grieving at the realization that she'll never be yours. What exactly is she fighting for? Tzuyu is plainly ten times better than her, thus she will lose regardless of what she thinks.
"Anyways, why don't you just wait there and make yourself comfortable for a while at the living room.", she tried to find an excuse just to end this discussion that she's having because she's heard enough already and she can't risk breaking down in front of you as her cries join the sounds of her heart shattering into pieces.
YN: "You sure you don't need any help?", you asked her; showing the thoughtful and caring side of yours.
Chaeyoung: Nope, I'm good, YN. I just have to check the rest of the farm once I harvest these strawberries," Chaeyoung said, declining your offer. She only wanted to be alone for a while before returning to normality after her mood had become wildly unsettling to her.
YN: "Okay.", You walked back to the house, leaving Chaeyoung alone as she sighed a long sigh to alleviate the worry filling her insides before returning from choosing out the remaining strawberries she has to ready for your order.
You were going to settle down in the couch as you entered the house again when you noticed a room on the left, under the staircase, with its door slightly open.
When you spotted some paintings from the gap, it piqued your interest to see what was within. You cautiously unlocked the door and entered, now able to look about within Chaeyoung's room, namely her art space.
You noticed some cloth-covered paintings. You chose one of them and removed it, observing the artwork that was now shown in front of your eyes.
And, to your surprise, the painting's subject was you and Chaeyoung being joyful together in the middle of the night, with stars in the sky replaced by hearts.
It was too late that when you turned around the door to check if Chaeyoung was still in the farm, you caught her instead standing at the door, staring at you with twice the amount of shock, nervousness, fear and sadness all in one in her face compared to yours.
YN: "C-chae... I-I'm sorry for entering your pri-," you began to explain, but she motioned for you to stop, lifting her index finger and showing it to you.
"I should be the one explaining, not you," Chaeyoung replied, her unlively voice clearly audible. "So you finally know about it," she replied quietly, returning her gaze to the painted she had created.
YN: "And it turned out that my thoughts were correct..." she frowned, bewildered by what you're saying. "... that there is really something more about what you did back then in the museum," her eyes gradually widened as she realized that even though she had failed her plan of confessing to you, an idea had already appeared in your mind that would make you react less surprised if Chaeyoung had just successfully shared her feelings with you, which was interrupted back them with a surprise phone call from Tzuyu.
She wasn't complaining about how you kinda knew about it already, it fact it just makes her happy and less nervous to finally do this in front of you that she'll open her heart out for you to discover.
Chaeyoung: "I could've confessed to you earlier, but... the world was simply too harsh to me at the time, from your friend Dahyun's unexpected presence to Tzuyu's unexpected call." She spoke precisely what was on her mind.
YN: "But now that we're here... you finally have the freedom to tell me everything Chae," YN said as you opened your arms a little before bringing it back down. "How did it all begin?" you asked, looking at her expectantly, patiently waiting for her response.
Chaeyoung gulped to avoid her throat being stuck and too hard for her to speak. She started to explain it all as her answer to you.
Chaeyoung: "All I could say that it was because of how intimate we are together and having only you as my male friend.", she looked away from you to lessen her stare from you that might make her melt and froze in her position.
"I- I'm slowly getting carried along with the way how you treat me like an ideal man you are and so it begins. Where one day I found out that I'm starting to grow a different kind of fond for you... a romantic one.", she whimpered in embarassment while playing with her fingernails.
YN: "And I suppose you decided to... keep this from me all along?", you guessed, she nodded in response. "Why?"
Chaeyoung: "I- I care for you and T-Tzuyu.", her voice became softer and lowered down even more, but you stepped forward for you hear it clearly.
" I didn't wanted at all for you to know about my love for you because... I think mostly about Tzuyu. It was very wrong for me to be in love with somebody that my friend was falling in love into at the same time."
"But I just couldn't hold this feeling I contain in my heart for too long, now that it affects me painfully again seeing you and Tzuyu reuniting and who knows? Maybe it will be the same as before, and it will end up with me being the one who will suffer again with the fact that I am seeing the man I adore the most out of everyone who's never gonna be mine anyways.", she started to sniff and a couple of teardrops started to flow out from her dizzying eyes which black orbs looks like it shows the entire galaxy and the universe within.
YN: "It's not the only reason wasn't it?", you gently sweep away the strands of her bangs that's distracting her. You bent your finger and used it to wipe away Chaeyoung's tears as she started to cry. "You were scared, Chae. That you think when Tzuyu finds out about this and me... it'll affect our friendship together.", you said the obvious reason why she's doing this.
Chaeyoung: "Y-yes...", she nodded her head. Her body starts to shiver in her cries. "I'm really sorry, YN. I shouldn't be having this at all but I can't control it... I'm too unable to deny that my heart was really choosing only you.", she continued to cry as she leaned her temple to the middle of your chest.
"So, now that you know I love you, do you think this is the end of us? You'll dist-" she raised her head, only to be met by her disheveled, wet face as a result of the tears she shed.
YN: "What? No. Don't think like that, Chae.", you interrupted her, wanting to make her quit saying such ridiculous things that you think will never happen ever. "I won't okay? I'll stay. It wasn't your fault. Falling in love was something you can't be apologized for... it's normal that it just grew naturally within our heart and thus all we can do is to be responsible for it."
"To know how could we do something about it. To see how it'll change our lives either for the better or for the worse. It doesn't mean that even if loving was a choice, it'll makes us become unworthy or weak for doing that. Love is also a helpful tool for exploration throughout our connection with someone who are close with, Chaeyoung and I won't gonna lie... I am touched that you can see my value as not only as a friend but more than that."
" It felt like my purpose really was something bigger in the eyes of others. So why should I avoid or leave you because of that? I should be grateful instead.", you explained to her how she was wrong of what she thinks you might do after the confessing she had done.
Chaeyoung: "But how about Tzuyu?", she asked you, frowning.
YN: "Well about that... I don't know, Chae.", you weakly smiled. If only you know what Tzuyu has to respond when she learns about this just so you can tell it Chaeyoung that can contribute more to the reasons why she has to calm down. "I'm getting worried that she'll act and think differently than mine. But I hope not."
Chaeyoung: "Then I guess she should not have knowledge about any of this. She must not know.", you nodded at her favor.
YN: "But how about you, what are you going to do?"
Chaeyoung: "If I tell you that I want you to give me a chance too, would you let me?", she asked you sadly. You slightly got taken aback at that question of your friend to you. You already heard this from the others, so all you can do was to repeat the same answer again but hoping that she'll be just like them who can understand what you're going also into these days.
YN: "I would really love to, Chae but if only our situation was that easy.", you apologetically smiled at her.
Chaeyoung: "Don't be bothered with it too much. I'll be fine, YN.", she reassured you, taking away your fear or worriedness that she might get impatient and be it unacceptable to her. She doesn't want to be selfish and rude about it.
"Finally letting you know about what I actually feel for you and knowing that you'll be staying by my side was enough for me already," she smiled, indicating that her good mood is slowly returning. "I don't mind if I have this one-sided love with you forever; maybe I'll move on, but who knows when that will be."
"What matters to me is..." she said as she stroked your cheeks with her delicate little palm. You simply closed your eyes and felt the warmth of your admirer's touch on your cheek. Chaeyoung softly smiled at the sight of your comfortable face at her hold. "... you're doing fantastic every day... and seeing you happy, even if it's because of someone else rather than wanting to be me in that place, is the least I could hope for from you, YN."
"I don't regret having this moment with you, atleast it finally allowed me to breathe in relief.", you unknowingly realized that she used the chance to give you a quick peck of a kiss to your lips, making your eyes popped wide and look at her in astonishment.
Chaeyoung: "If I never get the chance to make it happen again in the future, at least I got the chance to know how amazing it feels to share a kiss with you."
YN: "Come here, Chae." You motioned for her to come forward, and she complied, allowing you to pull her in for a hug. Even if it didn't result in a happy or sad conclusion, at least both of you are happy about it and neither one was left distraught, which could have ruined your friendship.
"Thank you for opening up. Although your love for me wasn't returned in the same way, you have my word that I will do my best to fulfill what you expect me to be. Take it as my repay for your effort. I'm proud of you, always remember that," you said sweetly, and you could feel your body compressing more as Chaeyoung tightened her wrap around your body.
Chaeyoung: "Thank you so much for allowing me to express my love for you. I will always be here for you, YN. Anytime. Even as only a friend, don't forget that deep inside of me still chooses to continue loving you." she said as you continued to stroke her long wavy hair for a few more seconds before escaping at each other's embrace and laughing about that roller coaster of emotions you two just had.
She eventually prepared the strawberries you had ordered from her, safely enclosed in a plastic container. You gave her one more hug and waved your hands farewell before leaving her house.
As you got into your car to head back to your doughnut store, you got a notification from the woman you were hurriedly chatting with just a few minutes before as you and Chaeyoung had one more conversation.
She responded to you, thanking you for accepting her invitation to meet her tomorrow.
THE NEXT DAY
Jeongyeon: "Here we are, my favorite place to go when I do need a great rest... just like right now," Jeongyeon stated as the two of you exited her car, which is now parked alongside the location you agreed to visit with her today.
Jeongyeon was the one who texted you while you were at Chaeyoung's house yesterday. She encouraged you to accompany her to the spa, which you are both currently looking at.
YN: "So Wednesday is your dayoff?", you asked her.
Jeongyeon: "Yes.", she nodded.
YN: "I suppose your work was draining your body energy 24/7.", you said, sounding worried for your friend because you have an idea how hard accountancy is, since it's your cousin Seulgi's job too.
Jeongyeon: "Life of an accountant, YN," she said, smiling slightly. "Sitting there from day to night... your eyes going dry and burning whether through staring at the papers or sucking the radiation out of the monitor as you only focused on bunch of numbers your company is creating whatever time it is along with duty of managing, computing, and many more.", thinking about it made her sigh as if she just got out of her shift for today, making you understand her more at what she's been going through in her work.
YN: "Wow, that sounds extremely hectic and exhausting." The goosebumps you got after hearing that from her caused you to whistle. "Now I feel horrible for the two of you and Seulgi," you said, expressing sympathy not only for Jeongyeon but also for your cousin.
Jeongyeon: "But we don't have a choice, do we?" said Jeongyeon, shrugging. "We need this job to earn money for our daily requirements... and all we have to do is work hard and make sacrifices for it," she said with a determined smile.
"But, Jeong, health is still important," you told her. "I simply hope you people continue to take care; it's still just a job after all," you patted her on the shoulder, your caring eyes fluttering Jeongyeon's heart.
"Thanks for inviting me, Jeong, by the way; I'm actually looking forward to this," you chuckled, eager to learn about the pleasure of being inside a spa for a genuine and effective soothing massage.
Jeongyeon: "First time?", she said; perfectly guessing your reason of excitement.
YN: "Yup. I rely more onto self-treatment, particularly painkillers."
Jeongyeon: "Don't worry, it'll all change here. I could invite you again whenever I'll visit here.", she smirked.
YN: "That would be highly appreciated, Jeong," you said with a pleasant smile. "We can also convince Seulgi to join us," you suggested.
Jeongyeon: "Ooh yeah, you're correct!" she said, snapping her fingers. "That would be wonderful. Come on, let's get inside so we can start right away," she said, motioning you to follow her as the two of you walked through the spa's entrance.
You were brought to one of the free therapy rooms inside after checking in and filling out their logbook. Two of the experienced masseuses who will be serving you and Jeongyeon exchanged greetings before telling you to proceed to your individual massage tables.
Because you and Jeongyeon aren't a couple, the room has been divided in half by a curtain. After taking off your clothes, which Jeongyeon did as well, you lay down on the table and let the masseuse begin to conduct a professional massage, which seemed like you were floating in the clouds due to how refreshing and peaceful it was.
-------------
Jeongyeon: "How's it going?" she asked about your experience a while ago. You were both sitting on padded chairs arranged for the terrace at the back of the spa, taking use of the remaining time left to simply rest.
YN: "You have no idea how comfy I am right now, Jeong," you chuckled. Jeongyeon simply grinned at your reaction, and she knew it was all worth it. "Jeez, this place is great; my body feels so light," you say, glancing around as you tap the chair's handle three times before holding back at it.
Jeongyeon: "Yeah I can relate. My shoulders, neck and hips doesn't give me this killing pain I endure anymore.", she said; gently moving her body to prove it.
YN: "I guess we'll simply spend the rest of our time enjoying this refreshing moment we're having today," you murmured, returning your eyes to the magnificent scenery full of greens of the trees and some other houses not too far away.
Jeongyeon: "YN... are you having fun with me?", she asked.
YN: "I do. Even though you're still a no jam to me.", you teased her in the end.
Jeongyeon: "Aghhh I thought it would end good!", she whined, throwing you the small pillow she had on her back. "You're so mean.", she pouted at you. You just chuckled at this poor defeated woman beside you.
You went closer to her and gently shaking her body as you begged for her forgiveness. YN: "Hey, sorry! I was kidding okay?"
Jeongyeon: "Hmph.", she looked away as she tried to avoid your pitiful state.
YN: "You're sulking? Oh cmon what should I do with it?", you desperately wanting to find out.
Jeongyeon: "I don't know, figure it out yourself.", she rolled her eyes, still keeping the act and going along wih it.
YN: "Okay, well, I hope this may make you forgive me." You sat next Jeongyeon, filling the spare remaining amount of space in her seat, and locked her on your arms, giving Jeongyeon a back embrace, causing her to heat up and feel her heartbeat on her chest speed up.
Jeongyeon: "A-alright fine, I can't s-stay angry at you any longer, you're impossible to resist," Jeongyeon murmured, not bothering to look at you because she's too embarrassed to display her intense brush that's enough to turn her entire face scarlet red.
YN: "See, hug works all the time!" You ruffled her hair, which elicited a groan of annoyance from her. You were going to remove your arms from around her body when Jeongyeon stopped you.
Jeongyeon: "D-don't," she commanded, still unwilling to look you in the eyes. "Can we please s-stay like this for a bit, YN?" she asked, turning her head slightly to catch a glimpse of you in her peripheral vision.
YYN: "Uhh sure, I won't mind." You just gave her a favor, so you shifted your body to be more comfortable sitting alongside her, changing the type of hug you're giving her as it changed to a side hug; but you still kept your arms wrapped around her waist.
Jeongyeon then shamelessly leaned her head on your shoulder, giving you goosebumps as the two of you now look like a genuine couple gazing out the window on a gorgeous Wednesday morning.
You just silently complimenting how great the scent of her face and also the beauty of the side features of her face.
Jeongyeon: "YN... will you be angry when I tell you this?", she asked you.
YN: "How should I? Let me what is it then."
Jeongyeon: "What if I told you that I'm falling in love with you, YN?", Jeongyeon said as you gazed down at her, catching her loving eyes looking up at you, leaving you astonished at her sudden revelation and making herself one of your admirers as well.
You're confusedly asking to yourself as to how the hell this world just blessed you this kind of life where you're able to make most of the women you're close with to fall in love with you and confess their feelings at you one by one as if it's more likely a coincidental for you.
Keeping your humble personality, you continue to feel that you are just a typical and average person for you to deserve this. However, thinking about it further after hearing several love confessions, particularly Jeongyeon's, makes you happy that simply being yourself is enough to make you feel special.
That's one of the reasons you don't want to reject their feelings just yet. Let's say that you're terrified of doing it. You don't want to shatter their heart after all these times of making you feel how much they adore you.
"I know this is a sneaky move on my part right now, but it's just that... I really want to know how it feels to be in your arms, and I was right, it sure does feel really good when that person is the one you love; I'm sorry if I took advantage of your unawareness.", Jeongyeon softly apologized to you even though it was inappropriate for her to do so.
YN: "It's okay, Jeong. Don't be sorry for it.", you started to rock your body, making her join your movement slowly back and forth. "I am glad and thankful of you for sharing this. Just to ask you one thing though, are you willing to wait? Because as of now, I'm sorry to say that I can't love you back yet. I still have some things to make clear. My heart is still unsure whether I should go for one more run.", you looked at her because you want to see her face while stating her answer.
Jeongyeon: "I'll do whatever it takes, YN. Even if I fail or succeed, atleast I tried you know; but of course, it would be much better if I'll get the same return back from you," she said; the words she mentioned at the end related back to your fear of causing huge pain in their hearts, whether you love one of them or not.
It will never change anyways, pain is also part of our lives and as long as it exists, you will never get the chance to avoid it; so might as well you thought you really need to try for you to found out.
YN: "I hope I wouldn't hurt you even more Jeong when my heart finally decided.", you said; unconsciously giving a hint about one of your thoughts.
Jeongyeon: "Let's just cut it here. I heard enough and I'm still satisfied with it even if it's not what I'm expecting but still, thank you, YN.", she said as she gently patted your thigh twice for you to be ordered to stop.
YN: "You're welcome, Jeongyeon.",
Jeongyeon: "The following times we'll have this kind of moment... I hope that one of it would be us finally sharing our love for each other as warm as our embrace.", she said one last comment to share for you to know, which little did she know that you were thinking the same too about her hopes for you both.
-LATER IN THE EVENING-
Your time with Jeongyeon prompted you to devise a plan to treat your cousin Seulgi outside later that evening.
You picked up Seulgi, who had just gotten out of her workplace and finished her shift for the day, giving her a reward for her hard work because you know she's doing it not just for herself but also for her family, which includes you.
You and Seulgi arrived in front of Moguri Peach, the restaurant owned by your friend Momo. You both entered and met and greeted your chef friend, who was speaking with her manager.Knowing exactly why you came to her restaurant, she quickly led you two to one of the available tables.
Because of your brief but embarrassing interaction with Momo because you know that your attractive Japanese friend is in love with you and you're chatting to her in front of your cousin, it made Momo and Seulgi became acquainted.
Momo then returned to the kitchen to prepare your ordered dishes, and after a few more minutes of waiting, you and Seulgi eventually enjoyed dinner together, during which you had to see your humorous cousin lavishly complimenting Momo's food. Momo just laughed with your cousin and winked at you while Seulgi returned her attention to her food, making you blush.
Momo then left you both again to continue her service for the other customers.
Seulgi: "I couldn't believe this, YN. You were hiding it from me that you know a restaurant where you could just enter whenever you want because you're friends with the goddamn owner!", Seulgi exclaimed after taking a sip of her tonkotsu ramen.
YN: "You never asked, so why should I know?", you chuckled.
Seulgi: "Aish, are you really my cousin? Do we really know each other?", she seriously glared at you, then leaned forward to flick your forehead thrice. "Barging in your mind if you won't remember that I'm a big fan of Japanese food especially sushi and THIS AMAZING RAMEN YOUR FRIEND MADE FOR ME!", she aggressively pointed at her ramen very amusingly.
YN: "Fine, I'll invite you next time when I come here okay.", you sighed as you rubbed the spot in your forehead where your crackhead cousin flicked you.
Seulgi: "Hirai Momo huh, she's very pretty I must say.", she said after taking a bite of her udon noodles.
YN: "Control your gayness, couz."
Seulgi: "Shut up, I'm just complimenting her because it's true okay?", she scoffed. "Was it wrong? Jeez, if you are thinking another meaning about it then stop it, I have my Irene already."
"Or else... are you jealous?", her lips formed a playful smirk as she slowly looked at you teasingly.
YN: "What? No. I'm not... w-why would I be?", you defended yourself while furrowing your eyebrows.
Seulgi: "Ooh, wow. That's actually interesting.", she raised the chopstick she's holding. "At that level of beauty Momo is possessing, you really aren't get attracted to it even if you know... being a lucky bastard you are, had to get close easily with a woman like her.", she clicked her tongue.
YN: "Okay I admit Momo is very pretty but I can't tell so far if I do love her too.", you said, not wanting to lie about it because she's saying the truth you can't escape and dodge anyways. "My heart is still taking its time to recover, okay?", you sighed.
Seulgi: "Wait, let me repeat that words you said in the middle...", she swiped her hands quickly to cut you off at your possible additional words to say. "What do you mean "if you do love her TOO?" Wait, she likes you?"
YN: "Y-yeah...", you nodded shyly and showed a sheepish smile in front of her. Seulgi's eyes widened at that reveal.
Seulgi: "O-oh... wow you are damn lucky.", she chuckled.
YN: "Stop teasing me.", you groaned as you went back to your gyudon meal which is a Japanese beef in a rice with egg served in a bowl.
Seulgi: "Okay okay... but seriously, it's not that I'm rushing or giving you more pressure but you must not make her any longer.", she suggested.
YN: "That's what I've been planning too, noona.", you said. "Most likely because she's not the only one who confessed to me. There's more others too.", you tried to smile but the mixed emotions is clearly visible to it.
Seulgi: "Oh no, so she got some competition, huh.", she said after taking a drink from her water.
YN: "Yeah.", you responded. "Noona, can I ask you... how could I tell if I also like one of them?"
Seulgi: "Didn't you had past relationships with your exes before?", she said, raising her eyebrow at you, making you look at her curiously at the point she's trying to make. "That was four too, if I may add.", she referred to your past girlfriends: Nayeon, Dahyun, Tzuyu and Ryujin.
YN: "But noona this is different, in this one I had to choose a person too.", you said as you reminded her more about it, slightly thinking that she could give a change about her advice. Seulgi: "Well, you're right.", she said; admitting the lack of effectiveness within her words of wisdom. "I don't know, it's quite simple. Just take note of the possible signs like you always do when you're trying to figure out whether you do love your exes back then when they confessed to you."
"If they make you happy to the point where its level makes you want to be with one of them all day long; in a hyperbole speaking... then there's your cue already.", she said, presenting her strategy to you proudly as she raised both her hands to point at you.
YN: "Then it means, Nayeon and Dahyun both had an advantage already.", you mumbled.
Seulgi: "Wait, what do you mean?"
YN: "Uhh... they belong to the ones I'm talking about.", you let out a POP! sound after strengthly releasing your clenched lips.
Seulgi: "Okay seriously how many confessed to you?", she confusedly asked you while shaking her head in confusion.
YN: "7 to be exact..."
Seulgi: "SEVEN?!", her voice raised to the point that some of the customers turned their attention to look weirdly at Seulgi after her loud exclaim.
YN: "SHHHH LOWER DOWN YOUR VOICE!", you warned her as you felt the second hand embarassment for you cousin. Seulgi quickly covered her mouth and gave everyone a peace sign, which made them chuckle.
Seulgi: "Sorry.", she whispered. "Wow, I didn't know that my cousin was really that completely attractive, irresistable and unforgettable isn't it where he is definitely living in a freaking world of harem right now.", she said in an amazed tone.
YN: "Oh god, you know it just makes me completely shy you know that?", you let out a irritated whine about what your cousin said. "Back to what I'm saying, yeah I said that it's gonna be a bit easier when it comes to them because I can apply again what my past self did for me to notice about them that made me became their boyfriend."
Seulgi: "So your situation isn't really that easy, but hey... still try what I adviced to you if you want okay?", she said. She took a last spoonful of her ramen soup to finish it before continuing her words. "Maybe that'll help."
YN: "Despite of the amount of teasing you did tonight, I thank you still, couz.", you said, letting out a satisfied smile.
Seulgi: "As always, anything for you little couz.", she clicked her tongue and gestured a gunshot at you.
YN: "Wait, I'll go order a take out for Jihyo.", you said as you excused yourself after taking out your wallet in your pocket.
Seulgi: "Go ahead, I'll just finish mine then.", she instructed you to go, allowing you to leave her alone for a second.
As you went to the counter to order, you were unaware that Seulgi mumbled something to herself after that tall she had with you during each other's dinner at Momo's restaurant.
"Jihyo, if you'll gonna do it tonight... you better be...", she said while shaking her head slowly.
-------------
You drove away from the restaurant with your cousin at 10 p.m. after saying goodbye to Momo and giving her a farewell hug that caused Seulgi to tease you once again.
You parked in front of Seulgi's house instead, because her garage was already taken by her own car. You both stepped out and went to the doorway, where you let Seulgi knock to draw the attention of someone who was already inside.
The door opened, revealing Jihyo in her comfortable home outfit; oversized white tshirt that covers her small tight orange shorts.
Jihyo: "Heyyy good evening Seulgi-unnie and... YN?", she said as she glanced at you standing beside Seulgi while holding the take out food you ordered for her.
YN: "Yup! I'm here.", you said as you hilariously presented yourself in front of her, like a magician who proudly showed to his audience that his trick worked.
Jihyo: "You really came.", and your presence was enough for her to make a gummy smile to give.
You hummed in response, agreeing to what she said. YN: "And I'll be staying here for tonight like what I said."
Jihyo: "That's great! Atleast you finally went true to your words.", she said, smiling smugly.
YN: "Hey, that sounded like I am more recognizable at being a liar huh?", you remarked at her sarcasm towards you.
Seulgi: "Isn't that true anyways?", your cousin playfully sided with Jihyo, making your situation a 2v1 and a very unfair to your part since you are being outnumbered.
YN: "I hate you, noona.", you glared at her.
Seulgi: "And I love you too, couz.", she smiled widely and pinched you in the cheek, making you groan in annoyance.
Jihyo: "That look definitely tells a lot of horrible story behind there.", she said as she pointed at your pair of eyes with her index and middle finger.
YN: ""You're correct, and don't worry... I'll get my revenge regardless," you smirked. "All right, here's your lunch I bought for you," you said, handing her the take-out chicken donburi from Momo's restaurant. She thanked you as you eventually made your way inside, removed your shoes, and shut the door to begin spending your night with them.
