SOOSHU STORIES

You Make Me Smile [part 2]

The younger girl leans in and pulled her into a warm hug, to which the older reciprocates with hesitant. "I missed you so much, Soojin." Soojin almost died. She thinks about the saying when life hits love sometimes you just die.

When Shuhua pulled away, Soojin was stuttering with her words, that got the korean girl to think back when they first met and Shuhua was the one who was all over her words. "Y-you remember me?" Soojin asked. Soojin didn't know what to feel, she's just in shock.

"Of course I do. I've been waiting for this forever. I wanted to kiss you like I used to whenever I would visit you but I didn't want to make you uncomfortable since we're not exactly kids anymore." Shuhua reasons. Soojin feels her heart racing when she caught a glimpse of Shuhua's lips. "Are you okay? Oh god, I forgot to ask if you remember me. It's okay if you don't, I can keep a distance if it's too much." Shuhua groans, embarrassed of herself.

Soojin quickly shakes her head. "No it's not that, I'm just so awkward sometimes, and seeing you after all these years just got me, and I thought you forgot about me so I was sulking here and now I know you do, and I just- seeing you after all these years and it's just too much to take so I get awkward and um- it's just- Oh god, I'm rambling now, aren't I?" Soojin almost whispered.

"Don't worry, it's cute." Shuhua smiles.

Then Soojin's mom entered the kitchen and smiled at the two girls. "Why don't you guys go upstairs to Soojin's room so you two can catch up with each other." Soojin's mom suggested and Shuhua looked at Soojin, as if waiting for the older girl to invite her.

"U-um, okay, i-if Shuhua is okay w-with that." Soojin swears she's going to bang her head against the wall after everyone leaves. She's normally the composed one, not Shuhua, and it's easy to say that she's embarrassed at how she's handling herself in front of the younger.

"Sure, I want to have some time alone with you. I miss it." Shuhua smiles. Soojin smiles back shyly at her before she leads her upstairs.

Shuhua have already memorized the house. Who wouldn't? She was always at the Seo resident when she was young. Shuhua smiles when she sees the wall where Soojin's mom would measure Soojin's height. She remembers finding Soojin cute when the older girl would whine when she didn't get to her goal, Shuhua remembers kissing Soojin's lips and the korean girl would smile and forget about being disappointed about her height. Now Soojin is still a bit taller than her, and Shuhua hopes Soojin got to her goal or she would happily buy the older girl heels.

"Sorry about my room- um, I haven't- I haven't clean it yet." Soojin looks down, visibly awkward and shy. Shuhua just smiled, encouraging the girl that she's doing great.

"When was Seo Soojin's room ever a mess? You were kind of a clean freak even as a kid- not that it's a bad thing. I like everything about you." Shuhua thinks she went too far with the last words she said, she hopes Soojin won't find it weird that she's still in love with the older girl after all these years.

Instead Soojin blushed, and Shuhua almost died. "Thank you, Shuhua." Soojin smiles, Shuhua noticed how Soojin's a little less shy and awkward.

"Did you miss me?" Shuhua asked.

Soojin wanted to answer that 'yes', she did miss Shuhua so much. She missed the younger so much to the point that she waited in her princess house everyday, waiting and waiting for Shuhua to visit again and play with her. "Yes." She says instead. "D-did you?"

"Of course I did. I missed you so much that everyday I begged my mom if I could visit you again. They gave me the condition that if I finish high school with high honors I would get to see you again, and I did. I'm sorry that I'm a year late, I got caught up with college and I had to study so I'd survive it."
