오 | don't be cold

yuko and saebyeok reached the café , and went inside . yuko walked up to the cashier and ordered a hot chocolate and a chocolate chip cookie . saebyeok did the same , and after they payed , the sat down next to the windows . yuko looked outside . it started raining , again , for the second time today . yuko felt happy , after all , she was spending time with the black haired girl .

" this café is really nice . this should be our hang out place . " said yuko .

" that's a great idea . " said saebyeok with a smile , drinking her hot chocolate .

" i mean , just imagine it . we woud come her after school , study together and all . " said the blonde haired girl .

saebyeok didn't really know how to express her feelings , but she felt warm inside . she found yuko pretty , and couldn't help but stare . and everytime yuko noticed that she was staring at her , she blushed . her rosy cheeks are the prettiest thought saebyeok , and didn't even realized , that she was staring at the other girl again .

" why are you staring at me ? " asked the blonde haired girl suddenly .

" because you're pretty . " said saebyeok after hesitating for a moment . then she smiled at the blushing yuko .

" o-oh .. thank you . "

" i mean it . " said saebyeok .

yuko couldn't help , but smile . the black haired girl's compliment meant the world to her . she thought saebyeok is the prettiest girl she has ever seen . yuko thought saebyeok looked just like a dream . and in that moment , in the café , on a rainy day , when the prettiest girl complimented her , she felt happy . so , incredibly happy . why do i feel like this ? she thought , but then the café's bell rang which was hanging from the ceiling . yuko looked at the woman who entered the café .

" uh , i have to go to the restroom , i'll be back . " said saebyeok .

saebyeok went to the restroom , and yuko was left alone . she looked at the woman who entered the café . she was wearing a blouse , a white blouse with a skirt and heels . she looked a bit older , and she was talking with someone on the phone . she looked angry , and when it was her turn to order , she hang up yelling at the other person . yuko turned back , but saebyeok was nowhere . she thought maybe she should check up on her , but then the shops bell rang again — the woman left . after the woman left , yuko heard footsteps and after a few seconds , saebyeok sat down in front of her .

" do you know that woman ? " asked the blonde haired girl .

" which woman ? " asked saebyeok confused . but she knew exactly what yuko was talking about .

" the one who came in before you went to the restroom . " said yuko calmly .

" no , i don't know know who she was , i didn't even saw her face . " she said . but saebyeok exactly knew who that woman was . it was her mother .

that's why she ran into the restroom . she didn't want to meet her mom . she would start yelling at her , even tho they are in a café , and it would have been really bad , if yuko saw how her mom treats her . saebyeok was lost in her thoughts when yuko startled her by putting her hand on saebyeok's . the latter quickly pulled her hand away from yuko's and looked at her hot chocolate , avoiding eye contact .

" s-sorry.. " said yuko .

" no ! i'm sorry , you did nothing wrong , i just don't like sudden touch ... " said saebyeok smiling at yuko .

after the two finished their hot chocolates , they were ready to leave . they were about to leave the café , but yuko realized , she had nothing with her , she was just wearing a t-shirt , and it was raining . she was looking outside , and thinking about calling her sister , to take her home . she was pulling out her phone from her jeans' pocket , when she felt someone putting a jacket and a hood on her .

" here . take this . " said saebyeok and smiled at yuko as she turned around . " i don't want you to be cold . "

yuko was speechless . she was so thankful to saebyeok , and she didn't even know what to say .

" thank you . " she said eventually , and left the café with saebyeok by her side .

" can i walk you home ? " asked the black haired girl .

" yeah, sure . "

they were walking , it was already pretty dark outside , but the streets were lit up . yuko felt comfortable walking with saebyeok , and even if they didn't have anything to talk about , there was a comfortable silence between them . yuko felt happy , and she was glad she met saebyeok . even the rain stopped , and when they reached yuko's house — a block of flats , as yuko and her sister were living in an apartment — yuko opened the house's door , and went to the elevator . when they entered the empty elevator yuko pressed the number five .

" wow , that's high . aren't you afraid ? " asked saebyeok with a cocky smile , which yuko found in fact , really attractive .

" i'm not afraid of anything . " she said proudly . but this wasn't true . everyone has atleast one thing they're scared of .

" well , i'm always here to protect you . " said saebyeok , but before yuko had time to answer , the elevator's door opened . they stepped out , and went to one of the white doors in the hallway . yuko stopped , and turned around . she had to look up , because saebyeok was a little taller than her .

" thank you . i had fun . " said yuko .

" me too . see you tomorrow ? " asked the black haired girl .

" yes, see you tomorrow . good night ! " said the other .

" good night . " said saebyeok , waved at yuko , and walked back to the elevator .

yuko couldn't help but smile and blush , her heart was punding really fast , and when she finally calmed down , she opened their apartment's door . she heard a yell from the kitchen , so yuko knew that her sister was already home . she took off her shoes and walked to the kitchen . her sister , hanako , was cooking dinner for them , but she was startled when yuko ran up to her and hugged her .

" hi ! " said hanako , ruffling her sister's hair .

" hello , my favorite sister , how was your lovely day ? " asked yuko , then both of them started laughing .

" it was great how was yours ? why are you so late ? " hanako asked .

" oh , i was at that new café with my friend . "

" what .. friend ? " asked the older .

" i made a new friend at school , she's really nice . and cool . and pretty . " said yuko , thinking of the girl .

" that's exciting ... do you like her ? " asked hanako , when she put two plates on the dinner table .

" noooo ! i don't .. but i wouldn't have chance anyway . she's much prettier than me . "

" okay , first of all , we'll see if you're going to fall in love with her or not , and second of all , you're literally the prettiest ever . i'm so lucky to have a sister this pretty .. " said hanako , and smiled at her sister reassuringly .

yuko smiled too " thank you . i love you . " she said , then started eating .

" i love you too . "
