Love Cherry Potion (English)

Son Hyejoo fell in love with an enchanted witch

They are at the living room. It's a Saturday afternoon and Blue Moon by Billie Holiday is playing. It's raining outside — the raindrops can be seen through the window glass — and that's why their picnic with Jungeun and Jiwoo had to settle for dinner.

Choi Yerim is laying on the couch overthinking again, her head is in Hyejoo's lap and the brunette is stroking her hair with one hand while holding her book with the other. It's some poetry non-magical book and she looks so concentrated and calmed that Yerim barely notices her breathing.

She cannot hold it anymore.

"Do you like me?"

It's so random that Hyejoo is not even sure if she heard it right. She takes a second to look at Yerim and raises her eyebrows. "What?"

"I asked: do you like me?" She repeats and the eldest witch bites her own tongue not to say something mean. If it was in other times, she would definitely have said it.

"Yerim, you're my girlfriend. We're together for almost five years now. You realize that, don't you?"

"I know! And that's really great and exciting... But do you?" She sits down correctly when her girlfriend rolls her eyes, forcing her to give an answer. 

"Yeriminie, wake up. We just bought a house. We live together."

"You're not answering my question."

"And I'm not going to. This is ridiculous," she cannot believe Yerim is being serious about this. It is, perhaps, the most nonsense thing she has ever said, and Yerim has already said many of those.

"So I'm ridiculous?!"

"That is not what I said!" Ok, so now Hyejoo is absolutely scared to say a word. She leaves her book on the sofa arm and tries to take Yerim's hand, but she keeps it away.

"But that's what you thought!" She accuses.

"No, it's not! Do not talk tosh!" She doesn't let the purple-haired girl shout back. "Can you please explain me what is going on here? Because I assure you, I have not a clue."

"Forget it!" Choerry strides out of the room; angry, mad, leaving Hyejoo there with no idea of what just happened.

"What the fuck..." The brunette whispers.

The dinner happens in Chuu's place because: one, she's the only one who can actually cook, and two, she chose to keep some of her muggle things and customs with her, so her apartment is really nice. Yerim is by her side, helping her to finish dinner by chopping some vegetables while the host is careful not to let anything burn. Hyejoo, on the other hand, shares the little sofa with Jungeun, her head on the blond's shoulder, watching a random muggle TV show.

Believe it, Olivia still can't understand her bond with Jungeun. They are so complicated, and only started to talk — to really talk — when all that situation with the love potion happened; but, yet, she wouldn't dare to imagine her life without that stupid Slytherin girl.

She's happy that, even after Hogwarts, they handled things and kept in touch. All the four of them. Merlin, they passed through so much: Jiwoo's mom kicking her out of her house for being gay, Hyejoo's parents allowing her to become whatever she wanted to after finishing school, Jungeun being heartbroken for the end of her relationship with the Hufflepuff girl. Those were hard times, especially when Jungeun had to spend an entire year at Brazil studying for her specialization in Witch Medicine.
