Chapter 31 - Retrieve (2)

The first night of hurted two hearts, trying to act normal. Hyunjin after game talked to Felix which did not went well. He was tired from trying his best not to make any akward reaction. And Yoona too did cried her heart for yesterday.

The else of the members started to think about how to write essay about first love. There was a lot to write. But the onlu best thing should be written. Lee Minho and Han jisung were working together as always. Jeongin was trying his best alone. Changbin was acting like a pro asking everyone if they need help, and guessed by Chan he already finished writing it.

Yoona went early to the school. She visited library (first time ever to read book.) She surfed over net yesterday but did not found anything. But she did found some books regarding what expression, feeling is love. And was here in library to read some stuff about it.

She went to the French literature section. She was walking through book shelf when someone called her.

"Oh, Yoona!"

Yoona turned. Changbin was sitting beside window reading some books.

   "Hyung!" She called for him and taking one of the book went to sit beside him.

    "It's so early! Why are you here?" Changbin asked.

   "I came to look upon Love!" Yoona showed book in her hand.

   "Oh, is that so!" Changbin answered.

    "Do you find it that hard?" Changbin asked.

    "No no, I just don't know how should I write it. That's why I'm looking into it!" Yoona answered.

    "Shall I help you with something then?" He asked.

     Seeing set of books beside him Yoona felt little selfish to ask him for help.

    "No Hyung! It's fine. If I found some doubt. I'll ask!" She answered.

     "Ah Sure!" Changbin answered.

     "But Yoona!" Changbin said.

   "What Hyung!" She replied.

    "Why do you call me Hyung?" He asked.

    "Because you are a year older than me!" She hesitated first but replied.     

"No, I meant not 'oppa' but 'Hyung'!" He asked.

     This question made Yoona get embarrassed a little.

     "Hyung, 'oppa' sounds like some flirting!" She answered.

    "Hyung too, sounds flirty you know!" He answered.

     "No, Hyung! But 'oppa' does sounds flirty!" She said.

     "Try calling me 'oppa'!" Changbin forced her.

      "Hyung!" Yoona replied.

      "Why would you not say 'oppa'?" He questioned forcefully.

Flashback....

It was during one of the evenings when Yoona was playing with some of boys in her area. They were all Felix's freind. It was around when they were 11-12 years old. There were only few girls in her neighbourhood.

One day one of their friend's elder brother came to see him play. The boy ran to him calling him Hyung. And that brother of him came to check on others. While everyone was calling him Hyung, Yoona was calling him 'oppa'.

After the elder brother left the rest of the group teased her saying she was flirting with Hyung by calling him oppa. As many of them saw on TV that when girls flirt they call big brother oppa.

The embarrassing memory made Yoona get embarrassed whenever she said Oppa! And from then, she never called anyone brother. Neither as Hyung nor as Oppa.

Flashback ends.

"There's really isn't anything wierd calling Oppa!" Changbin said.

"You just aren't used to it!" He was trying to make Yoona comfortable and not to get embarrassed about it.

As Yoona was going to say something she heard something. Yes! The keychains metalic voice of ringing. Her eyes started wondering looking at where the voice came from.

And infront of shelfs walked Ahn with books in her hands.

"Won-ha!" Followed by sweet voice calling her name.

    It was Seungmin. He was following her with another bunch of books. As Changbin and Yoona were sitting beside window the shelfs present in between made them not visible to them.

"Won-ha!" Changbin said.

  "Woah, I've never seen him calling that sweetly any name!" He talked to himself.

  "Did you Yoona?" He asked.

    Yoona shook her head saying no.

  "Yeah, so where were we?" He looked at her.

   "So, from now on you should call me oppa!" He made sure she say yes.

  "And even if you flirting I won't mind!" He laughed loudly.

  With this noisy atmosphere here came someone with silent footsteps. Seungmin came walking behind Changbin and Yoona gave him smile.

   "How noisy you are Hyung!" Seungmin walked behind Changbin giving him backhug.

  Looking at him Yoona's mind did crossed all the things what happened. And looking at him when he was looking this pretty she couldn't escape from thruth that she loves him.

   "What happened?" Seungmin asked looking at her.

     She looked at him. Seungmin saw that densed sky and then no sky and then a bright spring day.

     "It's nothing!" She smiled at him. Yes again the brightest as she could.

    Seungmin walked and sat beside her. There was empty space beside Changbin yet he decided to sit by her side.

    He saw Changbin had his study books but Yoona only had one which wasn't related to studies.

   "What were you doing?" He asked.

    Looking at her book, she said, "Chan Hyung told us to write for first love. And I don't know how should I put it into words."

  "Shall I help you?" Seungmin asked willingly.

    "I said I'll help Yoona!" Changbin said.

    Yoona smiled at him.

   "I don't need any help. If I need I'll surely ask to Hyung!" She answered.

    Changbin looked at her with a disappointment.

    "Ah right right! Oppa!" She laughed.

     "I'll ask for oppa to help me!" She looked at Changbin who was blushing.

    "Right oppa?" She asked.

     "What is it about?" Seungmin asked. Who's face was readable that he too saw something unbelievable.

'Did she called him oppa? But don't she always say Hyung to everyone. She even told Chan Hyung she don't feel right to speak word oppa. And now to Changbin Hyung how is she calling Oppa!' Seungmin's thought at a moment.

Yoona heard the ringing again. "Ah, Ahn is here!" And in seconds Ahn came walking toward them. Yoona greeted her making her way to stand up.

    "Bong will be waiting for me! So I'm going!" She left in hurry.

     Ahn sat beside Seungmin. "Doesn't it feel Yoona has changed?" She asked as she opened the book.

  "Why do you feel so?" Seungmin asked.

  "I just feel it's a great change. She looks more lively than a day ago!" Ahn answered.

    "Do you feel so?" Changbin asked.

    "Yes, and she smiles so brightly whenever she seems me now!" Ahn laughed.

    Seungmin left to find Yoona. Yoona was mentioning her name in library book.

   "You buying that book?" Seungmin asked standing behind her.

    "Yes!" She answered as she write.

    She turned and started walking to the classroom. Seungmin followed her.

   "You don't have anything to do?" She asked.

    Seungmin looked at her with question.

   "I mean, weren't you going to study in library?" Yoona asked.

    "I was, but!" He looked at her.

    "I wanted to ask you something!" He said looking at her.

    "What?" She asked curiously.

    He held up his hand, rested it over her cheek and rubbing her eye with thumb asked, "Did you cried yesterday?"

    Yoona moved back as if she was afraid of something.

     She touched her face as it was hot. Seungmin's hand was stopped in mid-air for a moment.

    "Why?" Yoona brushed her eyes. "Are they puffy?" She asked.

    "A little!" He looked at her smiling a little. "You did put on some ice not to make it swollen but still it's seen!" He said.

    "I did rub it with cold spoon!" She said rubbing her eyes again.

    "Why did you cried for?" Seungmin asked.

     "Why will I cry!" She said getting little angry.

     He looked at her bending himself little.

    "Why?" He asked.

      He looking at Yoona like this made her heart flutter. It was seen in her eyes. Those quivering eyes and her eyelashes that follows those shivering and tell the person she was fluttered. Sometime scared and sometimes embarrassed.

      "I didn't!" She said.

      Seungmin came closer to her. 

     "Why? Can't you tell me!" Seungmin asked looking into her eyes.

      'So close!' It was all Yoona could think of.

      She pushed Seungmin with book in her hand. "I said, I didn't! So I Didn't't!" She angrily said.

    Seungmin moved back holding her wrist.

     "Okay! Okay!" He laughed seeing her getting irritated.

     He looked at her and let go of her hand. Seungmin smiled widely as he heard.

    "Seungmin! Seungmin!" The voice was manly. He saw in front Changbin was calling for him.

      "Are you really daydreaming at this hour!" He shouted as he started to collect his stuff. He saw Ahn already left and he was sitting doing nothing in front of Changbin.

     He saw the time over wall clock. And ran to his classroom. As he walked passing by front door he looked through window and saw Yoona again looking for the sound. He smiled. 'she does have sensitive ears!' he laughed to himself and ran to entered from back door.

     His friends welcomed him and Yoona too looked toward him with great smile. As he sit he saw Hyunjin too had puffy eyes. He wondered if their fight involves hurting each other.

     Bong was asking Hyunjin how he got his puffy eyes. And he answered he didn't get nice sleep, so he overslept and now he came running so his face didn't get time to settle down.

      Everyone was laughing at him while Yoona was looking at him with some pity in her eyes. Seungmin was late for class so he couldn't ask Hyunjin this time. Later in recess when he was about to ask, Yoona and Hyunjin already left the class.

     He followed them and saw Yoona looking at Hyunjin's puffy eyes and massaging them with towel holding cold water bottle in one hand. She was gently rubbing his eyes to make them look normal. She wasn't asking him about what happened. That means she knew what happened.

     Seungmin walked toward them. Seeing him Yoona stood putting her hands down.

    "What happened to you two?" He asked covering his hands in his pockets.

    "You here!" Opening his eyes Hyunjin answered.

    "Hmm!" Seungmin answered.

   "Why both of you cried at same night?" Seungmin asked.

   "Both of us?" Hyunjin asked.

    He looked at Yoona, turning her face from left and right. Taking a closer look.

    "You cried too?" Hyunjin asked.

  "What? You cried too?" Seungmin asked.

  "No, I did not!" Hyunjin shouted at him.

    "Then why you said you too?" Seungmin asked.

    "But Yoona, did you cried?" Hyunjin asked seeing her face.

    "How did you know, I'm not seeing her eyes getting puffy and all!" Hyunjin said.

     "They were! In morning!" Seungmin answered. As he shredded Hyunjin's hand from Yoona's face.

     "Why did you cried?" Asked Seungmin again looking at her angrily.

    "And you too!" He looked at Hyunjin.

    "Did you two faught?" He looked at both them alternatively.

     "No!" Both replied.

    "Then why?" Seungmin asked.

     The two of them looked at each other. They didn't knew how to answer.

"We did fight!" Hyunjin answered.

    "And I told her not to talk to me!" He said.

     "And so she cried! Then I cried too! No I didn't actually I couldn't sleep that's why!" He answered.

     "Was that it?" Listening to unreasonable reason Seungmin doubted their answer. But Yoona agreed to him. And he knew Yoona is sensitive about friendship just like Felix. Thinking about breaking bond she might have taken seriously.

    "Don't talk like that again Hyunjin. You should know not to make people worry for you!" Seungmin said.

     He looked at Yoona who was standing straight there.

    "And You too!" He somewhat scolding her said. "Do you really take this foolish words seriously!" Yoona shook her head.

    "Ah, are you kindergarden students I'm dealing with!" Brushing his hair Seungmin walked backward.

    He wasn't angry because they fought. But was angry that he for moment accepted what Hyunjin said. He knew Hyunjin lied. And he was sad that Hyunjin knew for what Yoona cried and he don't.

    Last night after finishing the game Felix and Hyunjin talked for a while. And Hyunjin told him about the theme for their song. And told him that he have to write essay on first love. Felix asked him about it.

    Hyunjin couldn't answer. His heart was aching to tell him that his first love is none other than the person asking him at moment. He tried to talk about other things but Felix forced. And Hyunjin couldn't explain.

    Felix tried to ask him again and again saying he can help if he try to at least tell him how the person was his first love. And Hyunjin wasn't speaking. Later asking for about 10-15 time Hyunjin asked to leave saying he is feeling sleepy. And that was moment Felix let go of him.

     Buring his head Hyunjin was idiotically talking to himself. 'What should I tell him. What should!' Saying this his eyes started tearing up. He didn't wanted to but he ended up.

    The day passed and the daily meeting for special performance was held. Yoona again sat on different side not beside Seungmin. Which made him angry again.

    Chan asked if anyone have done their work and no one did. The meeting dismissed.

    The day passed, another and another. Yoona tried avoiding sitting beside Seungmin. Which Seungmin noticed too. She deliberately leave the spot when she heard of his keychain.

Everyone of them were writing their essays as Chan said. And this time Chan was serious about it, so no one of them wanted to get over his head.

    On Sunday everyone gathered over cafe near school including Felix. Chan Hyung asked everyone. And to say miracle everyone did their homework.

Chan Hyung read it as everyone was talking. Following him was reading Changbin.

First was Seungmin's and Chan didn't reacted much. Next was Hyunjin's, he did reacted on few lines of it, like 'what did he even trying to write!' And then came Changbin's, he put aside knowing he did well. Next he read Jeongin's ! He looked at Jeongin with expression that, 'how can you even write it!'

   Changbin laughed reading Jeongin's essay. And he made everyone read.

   Jeongin wrote his first love as a coffee that he is addicted to. A candy he is addicted to. And so on. And everyone laughed on him.

    Next was Han's and Chan smiled at him telling him good work.

   And the next one was Leeknow's. Chan read it like reading some love letter. His expression was questioning. But still everyone knew he loved it so much. He looked at Lee know and gave him praise.

  "Now that's what it was all about!" Chan giggled. "Priceless!" "That's the best!" He said.

  And now it was turn for Yoona! As he read he put it aside.

   "You copied it from a book?" Chan asked.

   "Nooo!" Yoona answered.

   "Yes you did!" Chan said.

   "Hyung! I will love to write poem not essay! Essay was bit confusing! Let me write poem for it. We can change some of lines to lyrics to tune then!" Yoona said.

    "Are you sure you can summon your feelings in poem? If you can't do it in your essay will you be able to write it in lyrics?" Chan asked.

   "Yes, I can! Essay needs explanation. Lyrics or poem won't!" She laughed.

   "You don't wanna let other know what you are thinking?" Changbin asked getting interested.

   "Kind of!" Yoona laughed.

    "Well it's true!" Minho said.

    "Other than Chan I don't want my feelings to be get read by like Jeongin's!" He looked at him. And everyone laughed.

    "Hyung, this was my first time!" Jeongin said.

    "My cappuccino!" Hyunjin said as he hugged Jeongin.

    "So, which one of you don't want other not to know what you feel?" Chan asked.

    Minho, Yoona, Jeongin, Han and Hyunjin raised their hand.

    "You sure have secret lover!" Chan laughed.

     "Ok then! Yoona and Jeongin will be pairing helping each other. As Yoona says she can write well in poem she will help Jeongin how to write!" He laughed as he talked.

     "Han and Minho will be pairing!" He said looking at them.

     "And Seungmin, you will pair with Changbin! You wrote well but if you need help Bin is there!" He looked at Hyunjin.

     "Hyunjin you...!" He was about to say when Felix spoke.

     "If you don't mind, I wanna participate too. If it's about writing I can help too. I mean I don't know how to write but I wanna try too." Felix looked at Chan with desperate eyes.

    "Hyung, let me join too. Or I'll be feeling left alone!" Felix looked at Hyunjin and then Yoona who was sitting in front.

    "Sure!" "No worries!" Chan said

   "And If I love your idea, I'll replace them with Jeongin's!" He looked at Jeongin and laughed.

    "But Hyung!" Yoona said. "Isn't pairing will let other people know your emotion?" She asked.

      "Yoona!" Before she could say Chan called her.

       "Yes!" She answered.

      "Whom am I pairing you with?" He asked.

        "Jeongin!" She answered.

       "He don't know anything about writing you should help him. And do your work by yourself!" He said.

        Yoona smiled as he looked to Jeongin.

       "Ah, is that so!" She laughed.

        "Look innie, as I told you! Noona will help you with your first love!" She laughed.

    

It was evening when they ended all the essays. And in few minutes Chan gave a news.

      Chan declared that the special group meeting won't be held in school from now on. As it might cause other problems for them. They have separate group over phone specially for them. and if he needs he can call them over phone. On Sunday, they will meet in outdoor meetings. Collecting the data and all. He said if they need anything they can text him or come to meet him. But the eight of them won't be coming together in school from now on.

       He told he already made list about performances. From tomorrow on, other people will join with them. So in front of them, this topic should not be get spoiled.

     And everyone agreed. Meeting ended with Felix, Hyunjin and Yoona leaving for Eun's House. Where Seungmin Joined them too.
