The One Behind Our Story.

56

The once cheerful and energetic girl hopping from door to door a couple of units away from Yena’s,

She was that excited on seeing her and telling her every single little detail about her day is now frozen solid in front of a door,

One more unit away from her destination as she can’t believe what she just heard even though it was such a straightforward phrase,

As if it was Choi Yena’s soul that just said that to her just because of how it was so much like her personality, her characteristics, her attitude, her patience, her peace of mind,

Everything, it was such a Choi Yena move that it managed to move Yuri’s heart so much all she could do was to feel touched, loved, hurt and jealous all at the same time.

Touched at Yena’s endearing and tender words that she felt her heart beat on a whole different rhythm following the tone Yena used as she said her truthful words through their call,

Loved by an ill girl wanting to do everything she can and experience all the things the world has stored for her,

Continuously loves Yuri with all her might as the secret on loving like how she does it is still a secret for Yuri who wants so love her like how her Yena unnie does it,

Hurt as she can’t claim all the love she’s receiving without thinking or realizing that she’s not giving the same kind of love and warmth and contentedness she’s receiving ever since they met,

And jealous as to how she does it all on her own even though she’s a person unlucky enough in life as she’s stuck with an illness within her body,

Yet she’s more enviable than Yuri based on how knowledgeable and care free she was with her life and her decisions that makes Yuri ask,

Is she more pitiful than Yena who’s been living her life because of the threat of not being able to live up to her own will?

Yuri felt her body shudder all of a sudden as she tightened her hold onto her phone as she could still hear Yena breathing on the other side,

The girl continuously humming a tune of a song as she was as happy as ever as it keeps hitting her how she shamelessly said such a thing to Yuri not knowing how such a simple phrase made her uneasy,

How it made Yuri feel so vulnerable that it even managed to make her body shiver out of fear,

Fear of not being able to fully absorb Yena’s overwhelming love and care she always has stored in her pockets just for Yuri and Yuri herself.

Her eyes unexpectedly having tears gathered by the edge of her perspective as she even felt how they suddenly popped up from nowhere to where they are right now,

Yuri brought one of her hands to cover her mouth as she let go of whatever it was she was holding not minding having spilt food or the balloon tied across her wrist popping,

Those don’t matter more than her crying out of nowhere right here in the hall of Yena’s apartment,

She’s too embarrassed to let anyone see her like this and more importantly Yena herself.

Yuri counted up to five as she thought of five different things according to the number of her countdown that would make her stop from having an unexpected panic attack,

“Five, five more steps then I would be in front of Yena unnie’s door”

Looking forward as she fixed her composure so she could finally start herself again from the sudden reboot her mind and her heart went through due to the shock of Yena’s words.
