It was like a dream

Yeji's P.O.V:

I am feeling bad for making Ryujin sad. After I shared my accident memories with her she became more serious and confused. I know she is worrying about me. And she wanted to make me happy again. But I don't want her to feel frustration for small things. I tried to lightup her brain by teasing her a bit. Actually it worked. But soon she will start to re-think about my memories and feel worried. I have to do something to make her feel lite. 'Ah. Why did I make her feel worried about me? I want her to be happy just like she makes me feel happy and excited. But did I just ruin our happy moments? I am helpless. I have been a burden to her for too long.' thoughts continue inside my head. I felt a tap on my hand and I saw it was Ryujin. She is looking at me with a worried face. I smiled while looking at her.

"Are you okay?" She asked me with a low voice, probably avoiding getting attention from Yuna.

"Yes, I am." I said with a smile.

"But it's not look like that. You didn't eat anything yet. If anything is bothering you, just let me know. I am here for you. Okay." Ryujin said with nervousness.

"Yeah I know Ryujin. I just lost my thoughts." I said with a soft tone. I don't want her to feel sad with my tone of voice. She didn't say anything. Probably afraid to continue the conversation. She was frozen in her spot. 

"Mom, try this. It tastes delicious." Yuna said while excitedly passing her plates towards me. 

I took a bit. "Wow, It's super delicious. Ryujin try this. You will love it." I turned the plate towards Ryujin. She happily received it. 

"Yes, It's delicious Yuna. Awesome choice." She replied while looking at Yuna.

" I was the one sharing that food with you. But you are giving credits to Yuna. You're too bad." I said with a pout.

"Still it was Yuna's choice from the menu right. And she was the one who shared it with you." She said in a serious tone while looking at me. 

"Some people won't appreciate others. It's ok." I said with a blank tone while looking away.

"Hey Drama queen, please stop and eat your food. Else I will eat everything on your plate." She said with a chuckle.

Finally my plan succeeded. She became her old relaxed self. "No, I won't share anything with you."I Said while playfully covering my plate. 

"Ha ha ha. I know you are not that rude to do it." She said with a smile.

"Yes mom. We both know you are not that selfish to eat all by yourself. So please stop playing both of you. And let's enjoy our lunch." Yuna said even before I opened my mouth.

"Okay madam." Me and Ryujin said in unison.

Our lunch ended with more joy and fun. Once we were done with our lunch we went back to the beach. Me and Yuna were playing with waves. Suddenly I remembered Ryujin, so I searched for her. She sat in a distance in silence. Yuna started to build another sand castle, So I went to sit near Ryujin. She didn't speak with me nor noticed my presence. I think she is probably spacing out due to overthinking.

I placed my head on her shoulders. "Hey Yeji, I didn't notice you. Do you need anything?" She asked while tapping my head lightly.

"Yes, I want to speak with my friend Ryujin. Can I?" I asked jokingly.

"Hi, this is Ryujin. How can I help you?" She chuckled and replied.

"Are you okay? Or do you want to share anything with me?" I asked her without taking my head out of her shoulders. She quickly took her hands back. I sit straight to look at her.

"I am sorry." She said in a low voice.

"Sorry. For what?" I asked her.

"I am sorry for trying to call Lia without your knowledge. I am sorry for making you feel mistrusted. I trust you with all my heart. And I will support your every decision with all my heart. Sorry." She said with a sad tone.

"I know you called Lia." I said while looking at her.

"Probably Yuna said right. Yes I called her because Yuna asked me to do so. Sorry for causing discomfort between us. But I didn't get the chance to speak with her. So will you forgive me?" She said while looking at the waves.

"Why should I forgive you?" I asked her. She looked at me with a shocked face.

"For comforting me? For taking care of me? For making me happy? For making me feel safe?" I asked her. "I will do them again and again. Because you are my best friend. I asked for your forgiveness, cause" I cut her off before she could finish "You did nothing wrong. Why are you apologizing? I know you trust me with all your heart. And you called Lia to clarify the misunderstanding. You can call her anytime and share or discuss anything about me and Yuna. I won't mind." I said with a smile.

"Really?" She asked again.

"Yes, I just want some time to clear my mind. But I don't want you and Yuna to cut your ties with her cause I feel uncomfortable with her. Be with her as you are. You can ask or share anything with her. But as usual, please don't force me. Please give me some time to adjust with it. And get a solution by myself." I said to her with a low voice.

"Hey I will never force you to do anything you dislike. You know, right?" She asked me with a confident tone.

I nodded my head. "Okay. Can I have a hug?" She asked while opening her arms. "Sure" I said while hugging her. She patted my back. It was more comforting.

"So you are Okay with me calling Lia and asking about the accident memories?" She asked me while releasing our hug.

"Yes, If that makes you less stressed." I said with a smile.

"I am not doubting either you or Lia. I just wanted to clear my mind from your misunderstanding. I know you both are made for each other." She said with a smile.

"I know. I am not hating her. I just need some time to clear my mind." I said while looking at Yuna. "Can we build a sand castle too? Like old days." I asked while looking at her.

"Sure, count me in." She said and excitedly stood up and moved towards Yuna's direction while dragging me.
