Stars and You [Hiatus]

part 18

"Do you think those two might actually start dating?"

"Who?"

"Moonbyul unnie and wheein ssi."

"Uhm." She paused.  "I don't know . Why do you ask?"

Yooa sighed and leaned on the sink.

"You seem like a trustworthy person so I'll be honest with you. You see , I like Byul unnie. But I'm afraid she doesn't feel the same."

Hwasa nodded .

"When I saw her with wheein. She just.."
Yooa teared up.
"I've never seen her smile like that with anyone. Not even with me."

"I feel like I've lost already. I mean what does she see in wheein?"

Hwasa eyed her.

"No offense ,hwasa ssi. It's just- . What does she have that I don't?"

Hwasa walked towards her and hugged her.
Yooa felt like she was trying to comfort her, so she gave in.

"Have you ever thought of telling unnie your feelings?"

"I have but I'm scared she won't treat me the same."

"I'll be straight with you. Just confess and see what the outcome is. Don't be scared of rejection. If it's not meant to be, then it's not meant to be. Besides byul unnie is a very caring person , so I don't think she'd treat you any different after confessing."

"Thank you, hwasa ssi. Somehow I feel like she'll reject me but atleast I'll have this off my shoulder."

Hwasa smiled and nodded.

"I was kind of worried of what you'll say since wheein is your bestfriend and she likes moonbyul unnie too."

"Eh?."

"I've seen a lot ,hwasa ssi." She giggled
"Even in this one day that we got to know each other. After hearing you guys squealing like teenage girls, seeing those two together, my assumptions were confirmed. "

Hwasa laughed nervously.

"So be it then . I'll take my chance. Wish me luck!."

"Good luck!"

They laughed together.

"Let's head back." Yooa said softly.

"What took you two so long?" Seulgi asked.

"Girl talk, unnie ." Hwasa answered short.

Seulgi looked confused and looked at irene who just shrugged.

The girls finished their meal and decided to have more fun .

"I'm sleepy ." Seulgi yawned.

"That's because you ate too much."

Seulgi put her arm around Irene's shoulder and walked sluggishly.

"You are one heavy bear."

Seulgi giggled and kissed irene on her cheek.

"Let's do something that isn't too extreme ."hwasa suggested.
"I don't want to barf out my food."

They laughed at hwasa's comment and agreed.

"I think we'll just sit and relax for now." Seulgi suggested. Irene smiled and nodded.

Hwasa looked at Yooa , asking with her eyes , what they will do next.

"Well then, hwasa ssi and me will just walk around until our food has completely worked its way down."

The four split up heading their own way .

____

"Hwasa ssi- " Yooa called wanting to start a conversation. 

"Hyejin." Hwasa cut her off

"Sorry?"

"You can call me Hyejin. That's my real name." Hwasa smiled .

"Oh. Then...hyejin ssi?" Yooa hesitated.

"Drop the formalities will you?"

Yooa was flustered.

"Okay, you know what. Let's make a quick introduction. " hwasa suggested.

"I'll go first. Hi , my name is Ahn Hyejin. But people call me Hwasa . And I was born in year 1995."

"Oh..I'm Yoo shiA. I go by the nickname Yooa. I too, was born in 1995."

" Woah! We're the same age?" Hwasa asked surprised. 
"Then just call me Hwasa or Hyejin."

"Ok. You can call me Yooa or shiA."

They both smiled and kept wandering around.

"We forgot those two at the restaurant." Seulgi yawned again.

"They'll be fine. " Irene assured. She looked at Seulgi , who was laying her head in her lap.

"Your so called punishment allows Moonbyul to have more fun, you know?"

"That was my plan." Irene grinned.

"Wait. So you mean it was all an act? "

"I knew you were smart." Irene smiled from ear to ear , hugging Seulgi tightly .

"Then there was nothing wrong with wheein?"

"Oh that? That was not an act. She really did not feel well."

"I see. I hope she's okay now."

Irene chuckled and pinched Seulgi's cheek.

"Have you not seen her mood at the restaurant. She looked like a happy puppy ."

Both of them laughed .

________

"Full now?" Moonbyul asked softly.

Wheein just nodded and leaned back .

Moonbyul chuckled for the nth time and the reason is the person sitting in front of her.

"What do you want to do next?"

Wheein's eyes widened.

"Don't worry. I won't let you do anything that's traumatizing for you ."

Wheein sighed in relief.

"Let's look for the others after some minutes of resting "

Wheein replied with an 'ok' and relaxed a bit. But the seat was too hard for her to get comfortable. Moonbyul saw this and sat next to her.

Wheein looked at her confused .

"Lean on me." Moonbyul smiled.

Wheein blushed and leaned on her. Blushing even more when moonbyul put an arm around her waist.

Stay safe my fellow humans!
