True but Unrequited

Housemates.

Soojin's POV

<<Hey>> I said when Shuhua opened the door.

I can tell I just woke her up and also that she had a party last night.

<<Unnie?>> She said surprised and confused.

<<What are you doing here?>> She continued. I guess she doesn't remember.

<<You texted me last night.>> I said smiling embarassed.

Did I read that wrong?

*flashback to last night*

I just got home from the airport since Yixing oppa asked me if I wanted to drop him off.

I decided to do the chores and prepare some dishes for Shuhua to bring tomorrow. Now that she's home alone, I don't if she will be able to eat healthy and on time.

As I was preparing them, I received a text.

I looked at the screen and it was Shuhua.

SH: Unnieeee, I'm home alone staritng today, can you come over tomorrow so I won't fewl loneryy? Pweaseee?

I can tell already that she was drunk. This kid.

SJ: Shuhua are you drunk?

SH: Just a litlw bit

SJ: I'm coming over

SH: I'm with my fwends right now, come tomorrow ok????? Love you, hope I can kiss you vewy soon 😘

As soon as I read the last text I chocked with my own saliva.

Why is my heart beating this fast?

"Don't you dare Soojin. Don't you dare." I repeated to myself constantly.

*end of flashback*

<<I did?>> Shuhua asked me with her eyes going here and there confused.

<<Yeah>> I said.

Something caught her attention, as I followed her gaze, I saw that she was looking at the bags that I brought.

<<What are those unnie?>> She asked me

<<Oh, you told me that you're alone, so I thought to cook some dishes.>> I said smiling.

<<Unnie, you didn't have to but thank you.>> She said.

<<Come in>> She continued.

"Wow her house is huge, but it's also a mess." I thought.

It's my first time to come here since they moved in Seoul.

Yixing oppa invited me a few times but I always declined thinking that Shuhua may not take it very good.

<<Sorry for the mess.>> Shuhua said embarrassed.

<<Don't worry>> I said shaking my head.

<<Give me the bags, I'll take them to the kitchen so you won't have to carry it.>> She said before I handed it to her

<<Sit here for a while, I'll just clean everything and come back to you.>> Shuhua said pointing the sofa that was at the living room.

<<I can help you if you want.>> I said to her.

<<There's no way I'm gonna make a guest clean.>> She said.

<<But it's fine with me.>> I said insisting on helping her.
