Flesh and Blood

VII. Bestfriends (Missing You)

Miyeon woke up at 2am in the morning, when she suddenly felt her body acting up, tingles spreading on every veins, every muscle, into her bones. Before the uncomfortable feeling starts to become unbearable, she starts to separate herself from Soyeon's arms, carefully so that the girl won't wake up. Quietly making her way towards the door, silently opening and closing it after she goes out.

Starting from there, every step she takes becomes more heavier, staggering as she takes the stairs, the throbbing on her head didn't help and made the situation worse. On the last three steps, she tripped and fell groaning because she used her elbows to stop herself from falling with her face directed to the tiled floor. Her muscles started to feel like they've been getting poke with hundreds of needles, she started to get up and proceeded to the kitchen to get some meds.

She was abit startled when she heard a sound coming from the kitchen, questioning herself who would be awake at this time early in the morning, but then she suddenly felt her heart got squeezed, making her yelp in pain.

"Ah!." Miyeon half-whisper half-yelled. The pain is slow but sharply taking over her body, her knees gave up making her sit on the floor. She heard steps getting closer and closer as she took everything in slow motion. The door opening as she look at the person standing in front of the kitchen door with shock shown on her expression, Miyeon felt all the pain go away in a flash. Making her look at the girl infront with confusion on her face.

"Unnie!." Shuhua worriedly said as she immediately went to Miyeon to help the older.

"Why are you awake this early, Shuhua?." Miyeon asked as the black haired girl help her stand up, and was about to take her to the living room but Miyeon told her to take her to the kitchen just infront of them. Miyeon instructed the girl to take some meds from the Cupboard and water, Shuhua complied immediately and made the girl take the meds, waiting patiently as Miyeon take her medicine.

"Are you okay now, Unnie?." Shuhua asked after Miyeon put the glass on the table. The brunette smiled and nodded her head in reply.

"Yes, thanks alot Shuhua. But really, why are you awake this early?." Miyeon didn't forget to check on the girl, since its very rare for their maknae to wake up so early in the morning, its either she's bothered with something or she just can't sleep at all.

"Oh, I was just thirsty Unnie. And it took me 10 min. just to find the kitchen since your house is so big, I'll go back to our room right now." Shuhua explained, thankful for not stuttering with the lie she just made up, well its not a lie that she's thirsty and it took her 10 min. just to find the kitchen, but she's been in the kitchen for like 30 min. already. Remembering the reason why 40 min. ago.

40 minutes ago:

Shuhua was stirred awake when the girl beside her pulled her close. Since she was now half awake, she suddenly felt thirsty and was supposed to get out of her girlfriend's arms to get water when she hugged her tighter and mumbled something.

"Please stay." Said Soojin, warming the maknae's heart. But the name she said right after left a pang on Shuhua's heart at the same time.

"Soyeon-ah...". She was confused as to why the older would be looking for someone else when she already have her as her girlfriend. Shuhua threw away all the negative thoughts aside and came with the conclusion,

'Maybe she's dreaming about their childhood days, they are bestfriends after all'. Soojin and Soyeon was indeed bestfriends since birth, their parents were bestfriends too, making both families comfortable with each other. There was one time when all the six of them went to visit Soojin's parents to celebrate Soojin's birthday, and for Soojin to introduce Shuhua as her girlfriend. When her mother and father suddenly joked about them and Soyeon's parents planning to marry off Soojin to Soyeon after college because they thought the two girls leveled up their friendship. Although their family were not rich, they came from poor to average, they talked about things like this.
