It was like a dream

Ryujin's P.O.V:

After Yeji's appointment, we were on our way to the beach. Yuna asked to play some music. I prefer listening to the radio while driving, so I don't have a playlist in my car. Thankfully I was appointed to take care of Yeji this past month. I made a playlist with her favorite songs. So I played it in the car. Yuna was singing along with songs, I guess before that accident Yeji spoiled Yuna with her repeated songs. I am happy both of them are enjoying my playlist. Sometimes I get irritated with the same songs repeating again and again. But Yeji hears her favorites again and again. Since She is my Best friend I can't complain.

After some hours I noticed my backseat went silent. I looked through the front mirror. Yeji is adjusting Yuna to sleep comfortably in the backseat. "Is she sleeping?" I asked her.

"Yes, she is. She looks cuter while sleeping," she replied with a smile.

"Of course, My buddy is always cute. You know right," I replied to her while turning off the playlist to assure Yuna will sleep in peace.

"Oh, yeah. I forgot that point. I need your explanation about your buddy's things. Care to spill it?" She asked me with audacity.

"Yah! Why should I explain my relationship with you? I won't spill it." I replied with a smirk. I love to mess with my friend. We used to bicker like enemies. Our surroundings used to misjudge it as a fight, but it was our way of communicating. I missed this feeling of messing with her. In those past 8 months, we had arguments sometimes. But each time I was more in control of my words and replies. Because she was sick and I needed to take care of her. I don't want her to feel any pain or misery due to our arguments. But today I was more relaxed and relieved because she is back. My old friend is back. She is no longer sick. Now I can mess with her as much as I can. So why not?

We fell into silence for a minute, and after that, she said "Okay." I wondered about her reply. I expected her to argue with me or at least nag me to spill the details. But she stopped the conversation with a little Okay. I looked at her through the mirror. She leans towards the car window, and I thought maybe she was a bit tired and needed some time to rest. Since it's gonna be a long drive and will take another hour to reach the beach I decided to stop at a nearby supermarket to buy snacks and drinks for them.

"Yeji, Do you need any snacks or drinks? I am planning to stop by the supermarket." I wait for her reply but no words from her. 'Is she sleeping?' I thought to myself and slowed down the car to take a look at her. She is staring at the backside of the front passenger seat. I lightly tapped on her lap to get her attention. Some book or note in her lap fell near her feet. She started to cry like a baby. I panicked at that sight. I immediately stopped the car on the roadside and quickly ran to her side. Seeing her crying makes me cry hard. I feel like an idiot to make her hurt with my stupid teasing. I pulled her for a tight hug and mumbled "I am extremely sorry for not paying attention and ignoring You."

She cried into my shoulders while I patted her back to comfort her. After a few minutes, she calmed down and broke our hug. She smiled a bit, I was more than happy to see her smile again. "So if you can move a bit, I can sit and explain those data in detail. My Knees are getting weak because I have been kneeling for a long time." I asked her with a pleasing smile.
