you're an exception

twenty two

Byeol awkwardly laugh at Wheein. She fixed her seat before answering. "I don't know Whee. I need more time? I still don't feel like talking to her. I am sorry."

"It's alright. I know how hard dealing with my sister is. I understand but please talk to each other." Wheein said.

Byeol nodded and faced the front as their prof entered and starts their class.

Even tho Byeol is watching her prof discuss her mind is full of Yongsun.

She know that this is just a simple misunderstandings between them. She already faced this many times but this time she felft like something was off.

And she knows that it wasn't her but the latter girl.

She have lots of questions and curiosity in her mind but she never dare to ask anything because she knows where will it ends.

"Ya? Let's go the we have an early out." Wheein tapped Byeol's shoulder.

"What? The class is done?" Byeol said in confused tone. She looks around and her classmates are already leaving one by one.

"Yeah you probably didn't listen to the whole discussion so I will lend you my notes. Here." Wheein places her notebook in front of Byeol.

Byeol smiled and puts the notebook in her bag. "You're the best. Thanks." Byeol said as she grabbed Wheein's arms and led the way out.

The walk hand in hand and went to the parking lot.

"So when will the both of us will a get a bestfriend time together?" Wheein said as she leaned her back on her sister's car.

"Whenever you want Whee. I am always free especially now." Byeol meaningfully said which made them both laugh.

"Now?" Wheein replied.

"Sure! I'd love that." Byeol excitedly said.

"Okay let me just tell my sister----"

Wheein gets cut off before pulling her phone out.

"You can have your bestfriend time some other time Whee, Byeol and I are gonna talk."

The two turned around at Yongsun's presence. Wheein faced Byeol with an obvious disappointed face.

"I'm sorry Whi." Byeol murmured.

"Ugh okay. I'll let you steal my bestfriend again also for the sake of my life." Wheein stated and startes to walks aways.

"I'll be with Seulgi!" Wheein shouted after leaving the parking area.

Then an awkward silence filled the two.

Yongsun's courage seems to go away for some reason and Byeol is firm on not talking until the older girl talk.

"Should we go somewhere? or in your car? My car?" Yongsun finally spoke.

Instead of talking Byeol just walks toward her car and opened the passenger seat for Yongsun before entering her car.

"So..."

Byeol looked at that older girl who seem to have some troubles finding words to say.

"You know.... We uhmm.... I just want to....."
Yongsun stutters while fidgeting with her fingers.

"Just say sorry and we'll be okay." Byeol bluntly stated which made the older girl flustered.

Byeol never talked to her in that manner. And Byeol always apologize whenever they fought.

"Okay I'm sorry. I know what I did and said was too much and I also know that I'm being ridiculously jealous but yeah. I'm sorry." Yongsun said finally looking at Byeol's eyes.

"Are you really sorry? Or you just making yourself feel better? Or you just don't want to feel at blame?"

"What? Of course I'm being sorry!"

"Yet you're shouting at me."

"I AM NOT SHOUTING!"

"Okay you're not." Byeol said almost laughing.

"So what now? I apologized and all and you're just concern about me raising my voice?"

"Let me ask you the same question."

Yongsun leaned back and sighed. "What?"

"What am I to you, Yongsun?"

Yongsun turned to Byeol. Yongsun feel so guilty right now and her face soften when she saw Byeol's sparkling eyes.

"Byeol..... You know how much you mean to me, baby. I am sorry if I hurt your feelings and doubt you. But you know that I didn't mean that! I was just angry and jealous." Yongsun said holding Byeol's hand.

"I don't know what to say Yongsun. You made me feel so bad. I feel so useless. I feel like I didn't treat you right. I feel so little. Don't you trust me?"

Byeol soflty said trying to hold back her tears.

"No it's not like that Byeol. I'm sorry for making you feel that way. It's my fault----"

"Do you trust me?" Byeol sternly said cutting Yongsun off.

"Byeol.."

"Do you fucking trust me Yongsun?"

Yongsun sighed as she looks down.

And for Byeol that's is a concrete answer.

She removes Yongsun's hand from her.

"I think we should stop seeing each other for now. And maybe you should try fixing your issues with yourself first and maybe we can try again."

Yongsun immediately turned to Byeol and held her hands again.

"No baby. We can still fix this. We can talk about this some other time just give me time."

Byeol scoffed. "Aren't you being selfish? Give you time? How about me? Should I wait for to fix yourself and welcome you again with open arms when your healed? How about we give each other time? How's that sound?"

"Byeol. Don't do this." Yongsun said with her shaking voice.

"I am. I am sorry too. But I think we should do this for now. For the better." Byeol said

Yongsun's tears fell down. Byeol wiped her tears with her thumb and looked at the older's girls eyes.

She doesn't want this either. But she knows Yongsun need this. Very badly.

She kissed the older girl's forehead. "I am sorry princess." Byeol whispered.

She went out and opened the door for Yongsun.

She helped Yongsun out and walked her towards her car.

"Drive safe please."

That was Byeol's last words to Yongsun.

After that day she never saw Byeol again.

Five years have passed and she still wondering where did Byeol go.

She's still holding on to Byeol's word that they'll start again.

And now that she's healed completely the only thing she need is for Byeol to comeback.
