The Secret Stories

Silent Confession

Yena first met Yuri in early winter. The two picked the same wool scarf with duck and hamster printed on it, each person held the edge of it. It's the last piece on display either it's because too many people buying it from finding it cute or it's because it's a leftover product. Why that item was there didn't really matter. What mattered was that the two of them ended up pushing the item towards one another, saying that one of them should get it. With Yena's insistence, Yuri ended up being the one taking it.

No number exchanged though. It's just one time thing, like when you made a small talk with someone next to you when you shopped. It's just that kind of moment. The two proceeded with their own day after that and didn't expect to meet the other anymore or make any contact.

Their second meeting was what marking the start of their friendship. It was on the orientation day for the new students. Yena and her group of friends in the student councils were the one taking care of introducing the school, creating some games and even courage test to increase the bond between the new students and also the seniors, basically the typical everything . That's when their second meeting happened. Definitely, Yuri caught her eyes when she stood in front of the group of new students, briefing them on the activities for the day and Yena could see the shock on Yuri's face while she could just smile knowingly.

During the orientation, Yena and Yuri got closer. Yuri asked a lot of things about the school to Yena, literally everything she could ask to Yena. They also realised how much they clicked the moment they started talking. The talk about school ended up with getting to know one another. Their new friendship surprised everyone around them, from how quick it grew and they definitely didn't seem like the people who just talked from that day. It's like the two had known each other forever. By the end of that day, Yuri had turned into Yena's favorite junior and Yuri gained a new friend.

Yena and Yuri became best friend easily after that. The two were pretty much glued together. The only time others didn't see them together was when they were having class. At a glance, people would think that they're actually a couple when in fact, they're not.

Yuri learnt about Yena a lot. Yuri learnt that despite Yena was an outgoing person, Yena was much more coward than she showed and the older got anxious easily especially when the older was left alone. The older was also terrible in showing how she truly felt and definitely a terrible liar. As much as Yena was a really good speaker, there were times when Yena would jumble on her words or her words were too difficult for others to comprehend. Yena loved to play games which Yuri would occasionally watch when the older was playing or accompany the older played after Yena taught her.

Not only was Yuri the one learning a lot about Yena, Yena also learnt a lot about Yuri. Yuri was a cute bratty girl, a great singer too. Yuri loved sweets, just like Yena and spicy food was definitely a no to her diet. Yuri's hobby other than singing was sleeping. Yuri tend to let her emotion got the best of her. If the younger made a mistake, Yuri would dwell way too long on it rather than moving on as fast as one could, just like she was. Just like the negative feelings got onto Yuri easily, the positive too. Yuri could get excited over the smallest thing and could talk for hours about things she loved.

For a first year, Yuri was a famous one. It wasn't hard to know with the amount of suitors coming for the seniors or her peers. She was known as the melodious princess because of her beauty and sweet voice. Not to mention, Yuri was in the student council too which boost her popularity even more, especially being the closest one to the most popular student at school, Yena — the student council president herself.

Meanwhile, for Yena, she had always been the popular one at school for being the cool and friendly person. Basically, everyone at school knew who Yena was. Yena had a lot of fans but that was it. When people thought that someone like Yena would have a lot of boyfriends or girlfriends, Yena was the complete opposite. Yena didn't catch any feelings towards anyone until Yuri came. She didn't even know when she started to fall for the younger. She only realised her feelings for the younger when Yuri told her that she was dating a star basketball player from their school, a third year whom Yuri asked her about a few times for her opinion. All Yena knew was that the guy was a good person so that was what she told Yuri.
