Five words better than 'I love you'

하나

August 28th, a random Thursday that Yujin's yet again spending inside the café she works part time at,

It's actually pretty late in the afternoon already but there seems to be no one wanting to go to cafes right now even though it was still at least 2 to 3 weeks away from summer ending,

That's at least another 3 to 4 hang-outs you could plan with your friends before our beloved summer ends and another school year full of hatred starts.

Yujin just finished brushing her teeth after eating her lunch as break time for today was an hour and a half late due to the endless orders she got earlier,

All were picked up by multiple delivery riders within the span of the next thirty minutes the orders were created so she being all alone in her shift right now sped things up in her own way,

Doing all of them in one go as she finished closing their lids one by one by the time the last rider went through their doors and that was it for rush hour today.

Yes, today's been a normal day for her and all the customers she served earlier but ever since she ate that creamy basil pesto pasta she made for herself earlier,

Something's been bothering her mind and now she can't seem to forget it no matter how hard she tries,

She can't pin point whether if she forgot to pick up the money her mom sends to her monthly,

Or if she already told her dad that she'll be working overtime today,

Or is her phone not fully charged or something?

It's not like she forgot to lock their doors since she does live with her family until this summer ends,

And she hasn't even sent her stuff back at the city where Yena's waiting for her back at their dormitory.

ㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡ

Ah I want to briefly introduce Yujin to everyone so we all have a clue on what I'm trying to do here.

Ahn Yujin, the second oldest out of three siblings with her being the only girl in the middle,

Lives with her whole family except her mother that is working hard at another country to sustain all of their expenses,

And education being one of the most heaviest reason made Yujin spend her past two summers as a part time worker,

Well nothing to worry about other than her making her usual clumsy mistakes that lives with her since she is Ahn Yujin,

And the feel of longing for someone she's been looking for two and a half years now.

The person who made her feel like for the first time she was finally someone's favorite,

The person who always checked up on her when she wanted to face the hardest moments of her life on her own,

The person who made her want to be the best version of herself for her very own sake,

She just wishes that she could've left her 'what if' as an 'at least' to her rather than regretting it so much right now that she doesn't even have any single clue on where she is or what she's doing,

Is she at the same year in college as her now too?

Did she forget about her already?

Was their friendship that unimportant for her?

Having no clue about anything about someone you care for can be really hard and could even leave you in a huge mess if you think about it too much.
