Sakura and I met Jin-ae and Sooah in front of our college. I couldn't say no to them. At least they came to meet me while they were on their vacation. Their colleges were starting 2 weeks later and they were staying here until then. It had been more than a month since I met them.
I told Sakura about my past before and she already knew about them. I wore black loose baggy pants, with a tight white top, with my wavy hair falling below my shoulder.
"Are we going or not?" Sooah asked.
"We're waiting for my other friends. They're joining us too."
"Guys?"
"Huh?" I asked. "Uh yeah". Sakura became a bit uncomfortable around them.
"Do we really have to go with them?" she whispered to me. I nodded.
"Yuna. Where can we go?" Jin-ae asked.
"To Sentosa Island? We could take a train."
"Okay"
"Why are they taking so fucking long?" I asked Sakura, seating myself on the bench in the bus stop. Two minutes later, my eyes fell upon Jinyoung, Kiu and this random guy I've never seen before.
"Uhhh Yuna- This guy is good-looking. Fuck. "
"You look great." I muttered. Jinyoung wore a thick black hoodie with black casual pants. He wore a small silver earring on one side. The mysterious new guy, on the other hand wore casual clothing with a denim jacket.
"Oh damn" Jin-ae muttered. Oh- no.
"All three of them look hot, but even so, your boyfriend stands out more." She spoke in a tone, so that Jin-ae and Soo-ah could hear.
"He isn't my boyf-"
"Shut up. I know you love him-" she cut in.
"Huh?"
"Hi. Im Jinyoung . Meet Kiu and Daehyun." Jinyoung introduced.
"I'm Jin-ae"
"And I'm Soo-ah"
"This is Yuna and Sakura." Jinyoung introduced us to Daehyun.
"Hello" Sakura said quietly with a tomato-red face.
"Ah- Sakura! You're red." I half-yelled, and laugh silently. She gave me a silent, but painful elbow punch on my stomach. I cried in pain. All of them looked at us, confused.
"Where we going?" Jinyoung asked.
"To the-"
"-To Sentosa Island" Jin-ae cut in.
"Keep your boyfriend safe, Yuna-chan" Sakura muttered in my ear. I smiled and stepped on her foot. She started to fake-cry, yelling that I'm cursed. The seven of us walked to the train station in the nearest mall. Jin-ae asked us to wait for a while, saying that she'll be right back after a phone call.
"So Yuna, how'd you and Jinyoung meet?" Jin-ae asked, after she came back. Seriously? I swear she's here to mess it all up.
"Through a friend. Was accidental, actually." Jinyoung answered for me. We got onto the empty train and seated ourselves. Jinyoung and Jin-ae started to talk to each other.
"Sakuraa-" I pouted.
"What?" she asked. "Oh". Realization hit her hard. " So you'll agree you're in love?" . I hugged her from my seat, hiding my face.
"Okay okay, Yuna-chan." she sighed. "As happy as I am you like him, why did you even invite him?" she stared at me.
I sniffed. "Agh- okay. I'll do something-". I smiled and sat properly. "Only if you do something to make me and Daehyun talk." I made an 'ok' sign with my hand.
"Ah Jinyoung-" she called, who was sitting opposite to us with Daehyun and Jin-ae. My eyes widened. "I have something important to talk with Jin-ae. Mind switching over?"
"Sure-" He got up and sat beside me. Jin-ae scoffed. Woah . Double attack. Sakura also gets to sit with Daehyun. Both of them were talking something serious. It irked like hell to know what it was.
"I wish we were alone right now-" Jinyoung said beside me. "How's your hangover?"
"Much better"
"Can I kiss you right now?"
"No. I'll kill you if you do."
"But you kissed me just two hours ago". I gulped.
"No I didn't-"
"You came and kissed me yourself!" He complained out aloud.
"Forget I did that. I didn't do it."
"Oh?" Jinyoung pouted and leaned over to me. I hid my face and shut my eyes tight. He ruffled my hair and sat straight.
"Yuna-"
"What?"
"I know you asked Sakura to do something about me and Jin-ae" he smiled. My face flushed red. Ahhhhh. I turned myself around facing the window, covering my face.
"I didn't"
"You're so cute-". He hugged me from behind in front of everyone. All five of them were literally staring at us.
"Jinyoung"
"Hmm?" he kissed my neck. "Were you jealous?"
"No- get off me-". Uhh this is going to be hard to deal with Sakura about this later. I slipped out of his arms, and sat far away from him, in the other end. This is embarrassing. Sakura and Daehyun started to talk to each other earlier than I had expected.
Jin-ae got up and sat beside Jinyoung, where I was sitting a minute ago. Hey what the fuck. They started to talk again. You're kidding me. All of that was for nothing. I looked the other side and ignored the both of them. I'm most definitely in love. Goddammit.
I became lonely, until Kiu came and sat beside me.
"Hi"
"Hello"
"Sooah is really boring."
I chuckled. "I know right."
"Are you both in a relationship? Jinyoung never even told me about this. And I'm really pissed off"
"It's nothing like that-"
"Then what was it?"
"Can you keep a secret?"
"Sure"
"I like him. Not like- like him. I'm in love."
"Oh. I wish you all the best on that. Should I meddle in and separate Jin-ae and Jinyoung?"
"Thank you but it's fine. Once Jin-ae wants something, she'll do anything. So nothing can stop her." I lowered my eyes.
"Was it like that back then too?"
"Yeah-"
He let out a laugh. Was he mocking me? "Then I'm pretty sure I'll meddle in this. I can't stay here watching a girl suffer like this and do nothing-" he pat my head. "Cheer up. I'll try to do my best here. " he smiled.
The train stopped at our station. All of us got off and got onto another train which was crowded so we had to stand.
"Hello" Jinyoung whispered in my ear, behind me. I jerked front, almost tripping in front.
"Jesus-"
"You missed me?". I didn't reply. "Hello?" I ignored his presence completely. He sighed and placed his forehead on my shoulder. I moved away, making him smile. Oh he's going to get the silent treatment. I'm fucking shy to tell him that I like him but I also don't know how to let him know I'm jealous.
"Funny. You now hate me?" He knew I wouldn't answer him, so he left me and went to talk with Daehyun, without any notice. I sighed. And leaned against the pole, holding onto it like my dear life depended on it when the ride wasn't stable.
All of us were pretty much scattered. I was about to get off the train first, when someone grabbed my arm forcefully and started to drag me away. My arm started to hurt. I looked up thinking that it was Jinyoung, but it wasn't.
He was wearing a mask. Someone I didn't know. My eyes teared up. He turned around at a corner when I tried kicking his leg. Mother fucker. I gave him a hard kick right in his balls when he turned around. He cried in pain. Using that time as an advantage I started to run.
I hit hard right into a rock-hard chest. I was about to fall backward, but he caught me.
"Where the fuck were you?" Jinyoung asked. "We were searching for you-"
"Some g-guy-" I stuttered. He walked fast to the direction I came from. I led him to the place where I kicked him but he wasn't there. "He- left."
"Did you see his face at least?"
"He- he was wearing a mask. I couldn't see."
"Are you alright?" I nodded.
"Jesus. You really freaked me out for a second" he hugged me tight. "Don't you dare go off alone without us. "
"Let's go" he said a minute later. "Why aren't you talking to me by the way?" he walked towards the others with my hand in his.
"Can I talk with you later?" I let go of his hand.
"What is it?" he looked at me.
"Later."
"Ok"
"Let's go" he told them.
"Where were you?" Sakura asked me.
"I'll tell you later." I told her silently.
I wasn't in the mood to talk.
