~ Together by a String ~ (Jiyoo)

~22~

Yoohyeon pulled herself away and stared at my lustful eyes and chuckled.

"I know you missed my lips but I need to fully heal, baby. Don't get too needy now~."

"R-Right.. But you do like the ring, right? Does it fit well?"

"I love the ring so much and it fits perfectly. It's just my taste as well."

"I know what you like so you can say I'm a professional if it's about you- Oh! You see the clover in the middle? Take a very~ close look at it and you'll see something inside."

Yoohyeon leaned in towards the stone and happily gasped when she saw a picture of us in the middle. She pouted in an adorable way and opened her arms again.

"You didn't have to do so much for me~ Come here right now, I need to hug you so bad."

I laughed and melted right into her hugs. She planted kisses on my shoulder and neck and she was close to crying because of how much she loved the gift. Adorable..

I pulled out the hug and held her hand in mine while caressing it. I stared at her as if she was an artifact and that made her a bit flustered.

"Why do you keep on staring at me like that?"

"Because I love you."

"S-Stop! You'll make me blush.."

"But it's true, I do love you. A lot."

"Oh my god- Minji! You're such a flirt, I hate it."

I planted a soft peck on her palm and she hid her face with her other hand and giggled like a child. I loved it when she got shy whenever I expressed my feelings towards her. Such a cutie.

Right then, a loud sound was heard from the door and when we both turned our heads, we saw a panting Bora and Siyeon looking terrified.

"Minji, how's Yoohyeon? Where is she-"

"I'm here."

Yoohyeon slightly waved her hand and when Bora saw her, she didn't take long to hug the best friend she had missed for so long. Siyeon looked at me angrily and I awkwardly stood there, perfectly knowing what I did wrong.

"Kim Minji, you said Yoohyeon wasn't in a good state, but my eyes see otherwise?"

"Wait let me explain-"

"You said you'd update us if something happened! Why didn't you say anything? We were worried sick!"

"I'm sorry! She got her awareness back last night and I didn't really have the time to tell you guys.."

Siyeon sighed and walked up to Yoohyeon and hugged her while I was getting scolded by Bora. Yoohyeon giggled at the sight and a bit later, Handong and Dami also entered the room completely shocked. Dami was frozen in a spot while Handong happily waved at Yoohyeon.

"Yooh oh my god! You woke up!? Why didn't we know of this?"

"YOU DIDN'T TELL THEM TOO!?"

Siyeon shouted at me and I waved the white curtain next to me in a sign of peace. Siyeon sighed and shook her head in disappointment.

It didn't take long before Chaewon also entered the room but she didn't even pay attention to her surroundings and sat on the couch immediately while playing a game on her phone. Damn, the whole group is here now. She chewed her gum and then looked at Handong who was trying to hold in her laughter.

"What's so funny?"

"Aren't you going to say hi to Yoohyeon?"

"She won't hear me anyway, she is sleeping like a boulder that even an electric chair won't wake her up."
