Something About You

16 : It's Not A Phase

Note :
Hi, thank you for reaching this far. I really appreciate every of you who reads this story (I got pinged by the notifications whenever someone favourited a chapter/added the story to a reading list). This is my first time writing a story and English isn't my first language. So, I am sorry if it's not good enough hehe. But, I will try harder to improvise my writing. My main intentions of writing this story are just so I could have a better sleep (I usually write a chapter before I sleep, so I can imagine what will happen next till I'm actually asleep) and to improve my English.

I also want to apologize if I take too much time to update, my schedule is really packed and the finals are just around the corner. Don't worry, I will still try to update as fast as I can. This is my kind of therapy after having a rough day, afterall :D. So enjoy~

Yeji's POV

"Drink some water." my vision was still burry though I could hear that voice. I blinked my eyes for a few times before I got to see Sunyoung's face.

I took the glass and drank the water as I was thirsty anyway. Within a few gulps, the glass was empty and I put it aside. "What happened?"

"You don't really have to remember it now. Just have a nice rest. But, I think it's better for you to stay here overnight. It's already 10PM."

Sunyoung handed me a cup porridge. "I don't have anything in the fridge. I think this will be fine."

My head was trying to remember what caused me to be at her house at this hour but I was too hungry to do so. We were in silence when I was eating and Sunyoung was scrolling her phone.

"So, you're not gonna tell me? Why am I here? I really can't remember anything." I asked once again.

"Oh, you were drugged by that asshole. The one you met on the chatting app."

I blinked a few times. "Where is he now?"

"Police station. They just informed that he's a sasaeng of yours. What a creep. How did he know you have that app on your phone and get connected to you, anyway? Men are disgusting. You should start considering on dating a woman."

"That's unfortunate. He's cute. No wonder he was so calm after he saw my face."I sighed.

"I didn't think of that. That was suspicious as fuck. How could he be that calm even though he was your fan? I would have screamed my lungs out."

"Right? I'm so dumb. By the way, how? What actually happened after that?"

"I transformed to a Superman, duhh." Sunyoung answered sarcastically and laughed.

She didn't want to answer but I knew, she was the one who saved me. "Thank youuuu...."

She was standing a bit far from me so I had to pull her hand to get her closer. Not aware of it, she lost her stability and our faces ended up being a few centimeters away from each other.

There was an awkward silence.

"Get up, Sunyoung. Your bathrobe is slipping and I can see your cleavage." I chose to break the silence.

"What the fuck, let go of my hand."

Sunyoung left after we had a small chitchat. Now, that I'm alone, I can't really sleep since I've slept for quite a long time. I turned on the lights again and walked to the balcony.

From the balcony, there was a scenic viewpoint of Seoul. She's really making money to get to buy a house in this area. The area has a high degree of privacy and only rich people live here. Despite the fame she has, she's still very humble and kind, just like when we first met back years ago.

At that time, we were both trainees under the same company. We got close as we came from the same hometown. So whenever there were days off, we would go home together.

Being a trainee wasn't easy for me. I couldn't really accept complaints back then and was easily taken aback by negative comments. I missed my family so much that I would cry almost every night.

But I didn't face that by myself. Sunyoung was always there for me. She had never left me alone and made sure that I always had companies. She took care of me and having her for years doing so, it actually touched my heart in a different way.

It got serious when Sunyoung came out to me and said I was the first person to know. I wondered for months who she might be crushing on or that was just her stating about her preference. But whenever she got close with any other girl friends, it actually made me kind of jealous.

That wasn't the only thing. I noticed how my heart would beat when she was around. How I felt when she treated me differently from others. How nervous I was in the morning to see her again.

I eventually knew that I fell for her.

But I was still in questions. Who was the girl that made her realize that she wasn't straight? I kept seeing her smiling while texting on her phone.

Her intimacy with Rosé actually gave the hints for the mystery. But it wasn't confirmed and she never talked anything about it. And I assumed that maybe they were just close friends.

After debut, we didn't get to see each other often and rarely met. The feeling I had for her eventually fade away and I began to think that it was just a phase. That's what I got for being single for too long while surrounded by pretty girls.

The day we reunited answered all of my questions when she finally told me about the things going on between them. I didn't really mind at first as I had accepted that I was just going through a phase. I even helped her to sort things out with Rosé.

But what happened today made me question myself again if it was truly just a phase.
