There's You

Chapter 15

"What do you mean? Kwangbae, were you embarrassed?" Hyewon shook her head as a response. "See, it's not embarrassing. I was just introducing you as my girlfriend." Yena told Yuri.

"It's just that... you called me babe. You should've just called me by my name." Yuri shyly said. "Oh, babe... I was actually contemplating with babe and baby. I figured out that baby would be a little embarrassing. Turns out, the babe one is already embarrasing." Yena said.

Yuri started to caress Yena's hand. "I'm just not used to you calling me babe when someone's around." Yuri then covered her face.

"Oh shut up the two of you. I'm still here." Hyewon said to break the sweetness.

Yena and Yuri both said sorry. "So, Yena. Yujin must be angry right now. She's been waiting there for quite a long time now." Hyewon said.

"Right, right. You should probably go down now. I'll just meet you at the café." Yena responded.

"You mean, we waited for you just for you to let us go first?" Hyewon scoffed. "Yuri needs to wash up first." Yena replied.

"What? Why do I have to do that?" Yuri asked. When Yuri realized why she shook her head. "No, no. You're not." Yuri said.

"Yes, baby. I'm going to introduce you to them. Now go wash up." Yena said and tapped Yuri's head.

"We'll go ahead, then." Hyewon said before leaving Yena's apartment.

"And what are you still doing here?  I told you to wash up." Yena said. "But I don't want to. Can't you just introduce me some other time?" Yuri whined.

"No, baby. Now, go wash up. You can use my clothes." Yena said and pushed Yuri towards her room.

Almost one hour after, they arrived at their usual café. The couple, Yena and Yuri, walked hand in hand with Yuri covering her face. She's shy.

It wasn't the first time that Jo Yuri will meet Yena's friends. But today is different, she's sure that Yena's going to introduce her. For the first time in their relationship, their relationship will be known to someone.

Once the couple reached Yena and her friends' usual spot, Yujin quickly stood up. "Oh my goodness! What is the meaning of that?" Yujin shouted while pointing to Yuri and Yena's entangled hands.

"Shut ut, Yujin. You're catching the attention of others." It was Hyewon, pulling Yujin back to her seat. "Hyewon's right, Yujinnie. Get back to your seat." Chaeyeon added.

"Chaeyeon-ah, I thought you weren't coming." Yena said as she pulled a seat for Yuri. "My schedule got cancelled. Besides, I wouldn't miss this for the world. It has been what? 3 years since we last saw Kkura-chan and Hiichan."Chaeyeon answered.

"You're overreacting, Chaeyeon. Hitomi and I went to Yena's concert here last year." Sakura batted. "Oh, right! Chaeyeon unnie wasn't there because she's in Japan for their Japanese debut." Yujin teased Chaeyeon.

"And I wasn't there too. I was in Milan for a magazine shoot. I should've met Kkura earlier." Hyewon stated. Kkura hugged her while the rest rolled their eyes except for Yuri.

"Wait, wait. Yena unnie, you still hasn't answered my question." Yujin said when she realized it.

"Yes, duckie. What is that entangled hands below the table all about? Are you harrassing Yuri-ssi?" Hitomi was the one who asked.

"Don't tell me..." Sakura said.

Yena raised their entangled hands and said, "I'm dating Yuri."

"Oh, sure. We know." Chaeyeon said. "You knew?" Both Yena, Yuri and Yujin shouted.

"Yeah, Kwangbae and I knew. You two were so obvious that night of our christmas party. And! Remember when Eunbi and I bumped into you during Gayo Daejejeon. I was waiting for you to go out of the comfort room only to see you and Yuri go out at the same time. Also, your little fresh hickey was saying otherwise that you had an upset stomach." Chaeyeon explained that made both Yuri and Yena looks flushed.

That night was something else. Remembering that night made the two of them redder than ever.

"Wait, wait. What happened that night?" Hitomi asked. "Oh, Hiichan. It was so funny, I swear. So, Eunbi and I bumped into Yena before she enter the comfort room. Then I remembered that I have something to tell her. So I waited for her outside the comfort room. Not long after, Nako from Yuri's group came. She told me that she was waiting for Yuri. It took the two of them 10 minutes to go out. Then Nako asked Yuri what took her so long. Our friend Yena made the most stupid excuse ever." Chaeyeon said and looked at Yena at the end of her sentence.

"Hey! It wasn't stupid!" Yena defended herself.. "Oh, babe. It was. Nako even asked me about it. I was wearing a two piece clothes! How come I'll be having a hard time removing it for me to pee?" Yuri backed up Chaeyeon.

"See? Who will use that?" Chaeyeon teased Yena more. Their friends became a laughing mess, even Yuri.

"How about you, Kwangbae? How did you know about Yena unnie and Yuri unnie?" Yujin asked Hyewon.

"Yena already gave me a clue that she's in a relationship that one time when I accompanied Yena to her schedule because you said that  you can't. Yena handed me her phone when she saw about to go onstage and there I saw Yuri-ssi's message to Yena. I didn't know that it was Yuri-ssi back then. I confirmed it during our christmas party. And... I saw how Yuri entered Yena's car when we were all going home. That was why I kept on opposing to your idea of dragging Yena with us that day. The same from earlier, I thought that Yuri might be in Yena's apartment and guess what? I am right." Hyewon explained.

"I feel stupid for not noticing all of that." Yujin said. "Yujinnie, don't say that." Yena said in a gentle manner.

"Wait, for how long have you two been dating?" It was Sakura. Sakura's sitting beside Hyewon. Of course, with their hands intertwined.

Hitomi on the other hand, just keeps on munching her bread.

"We have been dating for two years." It was Yuri who answered that, making the rest of the group shocked.

That's the first time that she answered anything related to them dating.

"Y-yeah, two years. We just turned two last Christmas eve." Yena added. Yuri started caressing Yena's hand with her thumb.

"That explains the sleepover then." Hyewon said.

"I see that our Yena is not scared of love at all. Who would've thought that she has been dating the longest in our group? Of course, except you, Chaeyeon unnie." Yujin said pointing at Chaeyeon who has been dating Eunbi ever since their debut.

"Now that we're at it. Chaeyeon has Eunbi unnie. Hyewon has Kkura unnie. Yujin has Wonyoung. Of course, I have my Yuri-yah. How about you, Tomi?" Yena asked Hitomi who was busy eating the breads infront of them.

"Come to think of it, we haven't heard any of Hiichan's dating life. So, Hiichan, tell us. Are you dating someone?" Sakura asked making Hitomi gulped.

"I uhh, I-I'm not dating someone." Hitomi answered. "Sure, hon. Your stuttering says otherwise." Yena started teasing Hitomi.

"Look, I'm really not dating someone. Not soon too." Hitomi said and started eating the breads again.

"Have you been inlove, Hiichan?" Hyewon asked. Hitomi stopped chewing and looked at Hyewon before slowly putting down the bread that she's been eating.

"I... I did." Hitomi answered quietly.  "Really? Our Hiichan had been inlove? Do we know this person?"

"Yes, you do." Hitomi answered
