Citrus

Chapter 27

Jeongyeon was halfway on finishing reading the twenty-fourth page of the book when she saw Dahyun running out of the store. A few seconds later, she saw Nayeon also running out of the store while calling Dahyun's name. Jeongyeon hurriedly put the book on her back and stood up to meet Nayeon.

"Fuck! Kim Dahyun, where are you!?" Nayeon yelled while roaming her eyes around the mall, hoping to catch a glimpse of the blue-haired girl who just walked away.

"Unnie." Jeongyeon called.

Nayeon faced her with a worried expression. "Jeongyeon-ah... Dahyun ran off all of a sudden. I'm going to look for her. Stay right—"

"No. I'll come with you." Jeongyeon stubbornly says.

"I'm sorry, Jeongyeon-ah, but can I go and look for her alone?" Jeongyeon confusedly stared at her. Nayeon then held Jeongyeon's hand and said, "Just wait for us right where you were sitting earlier. I'll be right back, okay?" She let go of Jeongyeon's hand and ran to look for the missing girl. Jeongyeon just stood there while staring at Nayeon's back running away, and returned to her seat as soon as the older girl was out of her sight.

On the other hand, Dahyun rode the lift and went inside the arcade center. She paid for tickets to be used for playing and roamed around until she saw a whack-a-mole. She stood there as she held the hammer tight as she inserted her ticket in. She gritted her teeth and clenched her jaw as she furiously started whacking the moles popping up.

"What the fuck is wrong with Nayeon unnie?" She said and continued whacking hardly. "I clearly told her it's a date for the two of us. Just the two of us." Her whacking became more and more aggressive. "Why did she bring that girl with her?" She whacked the last mole and shouted, "No one asked you to come out, you ugly piece of shit!"

The two boys who were waiting for their turn at the game were confused as they thought they were the ones who made the blue-haired girl mad. Well, why would she not since they crouched down as they stared under her skirt.

"Fuck! I'm so mad right now!" She smirked as she realized something. "Oh, I see. 'Come out'?" She put the hammer down and inhaled.
"Hey, you two." Dahyun called, referring to the two boys behind her. They flinched and ran away but Dahyun called again. "Come with me and I'll make it worth your while, okay?"

The two boys looked at each other. "I told you she was yelling at us!" The boy with a cap said.

"Well, it was your idea, right?" The other one argued back. But then, both of them flinched as they felt an arm on their shoulders. They gulped and stood up straight as Dahyun brought her head between them.

"You were looking down my panties earlier, right?"

Nayeon continued roaming around the mall to find Dahyun. She looked for her at the stores and shops they went in and stopped by earlier but failed to find the lost girl. She was now panting and decided to stop running to regain her breath.

"Where the fuck did Dahyun go?" She sighed. "She wasn't even answering her phone either."

Nayeon felt her phone vibrating and when she looked at it, she saw that Dahyun was calling her. She immediately swiped her thumb through the green button and put the phone on her right ear.

"Nayeon unnie?"

"Oh, thank goodness! Where the heck are you? I've been looking for you all over but I can't find you."

"I'm at the arcade right now. I'm sorry. I'm going back down in just a bit."

"Oka— oh." Nayeon got startled when Dahyun immediately cut the call. She could only sigh while heading back to where she left Jeongyeon.
