SEUNG YEON'S POV

"When the water has run out,come sit and watch for the rising clouds" I smile upon i read my favourite poems.It is indeed about my feelings.I look at the mirror,i stare to myself,i just realize,i tried hard to upgrade myself day by day,why?It is because of..Seo Joon?Pfft,nonsense Yoon Seung Yeon!
"Yah!" Da Hee came into my room and startled me.
"Yah?What??!You always made me feel goosebumps!"I scolded her.
"Eo?What is this?" Da Hee takes the paper with poems from my hand.
"When water has run out,come sit and watch for the rising clouds?"Her eyebrows furrowed.
"What the heck is this?" Da Hee laughs.
"Yah,why?Dont underestimate my favourite poems!" I rolled my eyes.
"Poems?Why it sounds very cringe,lol,what does it mean?" Da Hee laughs again.
"Yah dont laugh,it's a part of Wang Wei's poems,it means...erm,in whatever circumstances,my love is only for me,and i hope he can wait even if i dont have right to ask him that" I explained.
"Wah,it's not bad,i like that poem,haha" Da Hee took a sit at the edge of my bed.
"Actually,i have something to tell you" Da Hee started to talk again.
"What is it?" I asked.
"Jieun..is slowly taking Seo Joon from you,havent you realize?"Da Hee speaks confidently loud.
"Yah,if you want to badmouthing again,please lower the volume first" I scolded her.
"Ah,Jieun is not here,she went out with Seo Joon" Da Hee said.
"Huh?How ..did you know?" I felt my heart is like being stabbed.
"Well,i heard over from her room,she is as usual,on the phone with Seo Joon?" She said.
"Where are they going?"I asked bluntly.
"Yah,how can i know?" Da Hee replied.
"Ah by the way Seung Yeon,have you but your prom night dress?" She asked me out of blue.
"Not yet,i was actually think about today,i want to ask Seo Joon's suggestion ,i am going to wear what he picks for me" I smile.
"Ah,really?But Seo Joon is going out with Jieun,gotta know that first,sorry Seung Yeon" Da Hee keeps making me feel down.I stare her quietly and immediately take my phone.
"What are you doing?"She asked as she stood up and walk closer to me to peek.
"Im going to ask Seo Joon out now" I said.
"Yeah go ahead,go shopping with him" Da Hee said.
"Try it when your own housemate is with your first love" Da Hee continues.
"Da Hee yah!" I yelled as i too angry.Da Hee's face change a lot.Did i too much?
"Seung Yeon ah,i just wanted you to realize that Jieun is using you!How can you be so naive?!How can you trust people easily??Huh?" Da Hee yelled back.This is really our first time fighting so bad.
"Yes,i am naive?Heol~ and you went badmouthing people like that?Did you think it will help me?Did you think talking behind really helpful for me?" I cant believe she is yelling too me that loud.
"Seung Yeon ah,i really want to help you,please realize that,Jieun is a witch!I heard her that night!I am not lying,i heard everything she said,she want to take Seo Joon from you" Da Hee become frustrated.
"Then?What about this?" I show Seo Joon's replies to my text before.
"Seo Joon said he is just staying at home?Watching television,he didnt even know where Jieun go,and you told me that she went out with Seo Joon??You really..i think the one is bad here is you Da Hee,you lied to me,you badmouthing Jieun now who is just being nice to both of us?" I said due to anger.My eyes become watery as i scolded her,and i just cant believe she is lying.
"Huh,Jieun?Nice?Is being a slut is nice?Then what about you told me that she wore night gown to seduce Seo Joon?And one more thing,am i the only badmouthing her?" Da Hee smirks.
"That was she doesnt know about my feelings towards Seo Joon ,Da Hee yah,yes i badmouth her too,but that was before,now i know that she is a nice girl,i wont badmouth her again,so please stop all this Da Hee,you keep pushing me,and stress me out,but i am the only one to bear it,you only know to make me feel down,down and down by telling me lies!" I said directly to the point as i was too frustrated.
"Wow,goodjob Seung Yeon ah,i dont know that you chose Jieun ,your rival rather than your own bestfriend who being with you for 6 years" Da Hee gives up and walk towards the door to leave me.
"I know you like Seo Joon!Maybe..thats why you being like this?Da Hee just be honest,lets be honest" I said before she went out.She then stopped and turned her back to me.
"What are you saying?" Da Hee's forehead is becoming even furrowed than before.
"I know it Da Hee,Jieuns shows me the proof,i dont even believe her at first,but after i saw this,and after you tried to make me hate Jieun,now i knew,she is telling the truth" I saw Da Hee's tears drop off ,i cant stand it to see she cries ,my eyes drop a tear as well.
"What ..nonsense are you talking about..Seung Yeon ah" Da Hee's clenched her teeth.
"You said you accidentally read my diary,Jieun told me she saw you flipping the pages,i clearly remember i close my diary before going to sleep,why did you lie about that?Jieun also sent me a picture of your diary,you paste Seo Joon picture,with the caption if only you are mine?Right Da Hee yah?" My tears fall.
"I dont ..even have a diary!You stupid!Okay,i lied about accidentally read you diary,thats because i dont want you to get the wrong idea of me..i" Da Hee didnt finishes her word yet i cut her off.
"I already have wrong idea about you now Da Hee yah,i dont need any explanation,besides,i know very well your handwriting,stop lying Da Hee,can you please..leave me alone now?" I sigh as i ask her to get out.
"Seung Yeon..ah..dont you see?Jieun is purposely doing this to break us apart,oswear,please dont trust people easily!Please investigate first" Da Hee sobbed as she went out from my room.I look towards the floor and wipe my tears.
"What the heck?We are on our last semester,yet we got so many problems" I sigh again.
"Ah,i want to go out" I went to bathroom to wash my face and eyes faster before it got swollen.I dress up myself proper to go shopping with Seo Joon,i just want to forget about what happen between me and Da Hee.I took my phone and handband in my closet.I went downstairs to wait for Seo Joon infront of the gate.
"Eo?Seung Yeon ah,where are you going?" I bumped into Jieun and Suzy who just want to enter the house.
"Ah,i want to go ou with Seo Joon for a while,where are you guys from?" I asked back.
"Ah,i went out with Suzy just now,we are hungry for chinese food,so we are eating at the famous chinese restaurant in Jamsil,you should go,it's really amazing" Jieun smile.See,Da Hee is lying,she went out with Suzy not Seo Joon.
"There,Seo Joon had arrived" Suzy pointed outside.
"Ah,okay,need to go now,goodbye" I wave them goodbye with a smile.

SEO JOON'S POV

"Are you okay?Why so quiet today?" I asked while we are on our way to the Seoul city together.
"Nothing,it's just a bad day for me" She sighs.She is really weird lately,her behaviour towards me is changing slowly,why is that?I wonder alone.
Jieun even told me not to tell that we went out together just now.What happen?Ah,why am i so slow-witted.
"Dont mind sharing with me?" I asked.
"No i dont want to talk about it" She replies.
"Well okay then" I said.As we arrived at COEX Shopping Mall,i parked my car at the basement floor.I turned to look at Seung Yeon.She seems really gloomy.Did she just breakup or what?Aish,girls are complicated to understand.
"Seung yeon ah..." I pinched her cheeks.
"Seo Joon is hungry eung eung,will Seung Yeon eat with Seo Joon?"I tried to make her laugh with my aeygyo.
"Aish,what is that?Ugh,aeygyo is mot for you,ugh,so annoying" She started to become herself.Well,even if i am bad,but i can make Seung Yeon wake up at least.
"Am i not cute?" I tried to make a cute face.
"Ughhh,no" I get hit instead after Seung Yeon stares me for a while.
"Seung Yeon want to eat with Seo Joon too,then we can shopping together aingg" Seung Yeon counterattack makes me laugh very hard.
"Yah!Hahahahhah,you are so terrible than me" I hold my stomach as it is too funny.I saw Seung Yeon is holding her laugh.
"Aish,whatever" Seung Yeon went out from the car immediately after feeling embarassed.
"Yah,even so i succeed making you smile again" I said while i tailing her from behind.
"Heol,i smile because i am joker to myself" Seung Yeon said while she looked at her back to talk to me.She is walking without looking infront.At that time,i saw a speedy car is about to pass by her.With a very loud engine,that car is speeding up even in the basement parking.
"Seung Yeon ah!" I yelled her name while she turned her head to the sound of loud engine.
"Aghhhhhh" Seung Yeon scream is echoing.
I grab Seung Yeon's waist and pull her behind,we fell down hard to the floor while that car is still speeding up and left the scene.Seung Yeon is breathing really hard in my hug,her whole body is shaking.
"Seung Yeon ah,are you okay?" I wipe her sweats.
"Heol~~what the heck" She is still breathing hard.
"Can you get up?" I asked her,she is slowly stand up on her own but still tumbling a little bit.I hold her shoulder in case she might fell.
"Thank you Seo Joon ah,ah,i freaking scared just now,thank goodness you were here" She hugs me again.I feel...really weird,i dont know but i fell somehow uncomfortable enough.
"Ah,its okay,i will help anyone in that situation" I said as i released her hug.
"Are you really okay now?" I ask her again when i stare into her face.
"Of course,but i think we need to eat first,i lose my energy suddenly" She tries to laugh even after what happened.Indeed,strong woman.
"Wow,after what happened,we can just continue to eat,and shopping,pretending like nothing had happened?" I shook my head when she is very bold.
"Why not?I am fine,thanks to you,but we have come here already,so why dont we continues what we want to do" Seung Yeon said.
"Yeah,but we need to report about that stupid car,it's dangerous to drive like that here" I start babbling.
"Ah,maybe that person had emergency or whatsoever,come on,lets go,im hungry" Seung Yeon grabs my hand.
"Aish,this girl.." I sigh.
