Sweet and Sour

"Have you thought of just sitting down and going through everything you two oppose of each other?" Sihyun sketched as the two sat across from each other in the library. "I think it'll help make things more clear of what you two want in this relationship."

Jiyeon was explaining her dilemma with Inhyuk. She hasn't full explained what happened a few days ago, but she was telling her more than she anticipated. It's not like she wanted to keep the door closed forever on what truly is going on, not with Sihyun who's always been there when she had nobody but herself.

Why was she so afraid to talk about it? Was she scared that Sihyun would be tired of her problems that never get resolved on its own? Or was it the fact that if she opens up that conversation to the world, it becomes the truth of what her relationship really is outside her fantasy? Whatever the reason, she didn't like the sound of either of them.

"So..." Jungwon sat there, eyeing her down.

"What is it this time?" Jiyeon placed her head into her palm, the look of sarcasm.

"Please, please just say yes." His hands came together. "You know how my mom is, she refuses anytime I wanna do anything with the others... you just happen to be my scapegoat every time. That's beyond the point though... could you please come with us tonight to the festival?"

"Why couldn't you just make the same excuse like all the other times, I'm sure you'll find a way around it."

"Well I thought that, but she's been on my case for some reason." He huffed, falling back into the chair, "the only way she's letting me go out this time is if she sees you at my front door with the others."

Jiyeon rolled her head back with a groan, "maybe I am thankful that my parents couldn't give two f-"

"Ji," he cut her off with a stern voice. She held her hands up in surrender, "just joking," she laughed.

"Well, today's your lucky day I guess, Yejin has a birthday party tonight for a classmate from academy. I'll gladly be your chaperone," she nodded with pride.

Jungwon rolled his eyes, but the smile on his face had grown in size, "you are the best!" He jumped up, waving goodbye before leaving her.

"What got him so happy at..." Sihyun looked down at her phone, "8am?" She took over the seat Jungwon occupied a few seconds before.

"He needs me to go with him and the others to the festival tonight since his mom won't let him go unless I'm there," she explained. "Which I mean I get it, I'm pretty much a parent."

"Festival!?" Her face brightened up at the mention of festivals. "I like festivals."

Jiyeon smiled, "you can come if you want, I'll just be us anyways. I'm sure they won't mind another person."

"Yejin, you were supposed to be ready half an hour ago. Why are you still in your pyjamas?" Jiyeon walked into her younger sisters room to find her sitting on her bed still in her pyjamas.

She finished braiding her sisters hair and told her to get dressed and ready while she goes to finish up before going to Jungwon's to head to the festival. A school friend was having a birthday party and thankfully they lived in the same area so she was going to drop her off on the way to Jungwon's.

"I'm not feeling good," Yejin frowned.

"Yejin, I know you're lying. You say that every time I go out with my friends." Her hands went to her hips. Jiyeon went to the closet to pick out clothes that fit the theme of the party.

"Come on, put these on." She picked up her sister from the bed and began to dress her into the clothes she picked out. "I won't be out to long okay, I'll pick you up the minute I'm back. You were so excited when you got the invitation, why are you now acting like this Jinjin?"

With a bit of hassle, she got Yejin fixed into her outfit and finished getting ready herself so they could leave the house.

"I know you're going to have fun there Jinjin, you're making yourself feel sick." She held her hand right as they walked up to the gate of the house. She kneeled down to be eye level with her sister. "I won't be long okay? You have my number written down, call if there's an emergency, remember to have fun!"

Quickly she knocked on the door and waited till the mother opened the door up to welcome Yejin in. She said a quick goodbye and waved before the door was shut. Now it was time to make her way to Jungwon's house to get to the festival for the evening.
