Healer 2.0 || Winrina

trembling

"Hey, Rina. Did you get yourself a new... friend?"

"Huh?", Karina was startled by Aeri's sudden question, yet confusing her at the same time.

"It's just that- you know? These few days people keep talking about you being 'clingy' to this particular girl. Is it right?", Aeri continued. Karina then realized who her friend was talking about as her eyes became wide open and the blush was so visible on her face. Luckily, her friends got what the idea was all about.

"Really? That's amazing, Rina! So now you have a new friend? That's really not like the Karina Yu I knew", Yeji laughed together with Aeri, only making Karina turn her head away in embarrassment.

"Well... It's not a bad thing tho! I know it's kind of breaking my life principle for not approach people first. But-- she is different!", Karina said to them, somehow trying too hard to hide her burning red face from being seen.

"Oh my, oh my", Aeri teased.

"Oh, my, gaaaawd... Are you really our friend, Karina Yu??", Yeji giggled by herself as she saw how much Karina changed this past few days.

"Speak of the devil, you said once that you need to meet someone. Is that someone... her?", Aeri asked and Karina replied with her timid nods.

"Woah! She really isn't Karina Yu anymore!", Yeji teased Karina more. "Bring back our friend, you impostor!", Aeri continued with the tease.

"No! I'm still that rude, arrogant, and stubborn Karina Yu-- to everyone! Well... maybe except for you guys, and her".

Winter had nothing to do as always. Every day she had to do the same thing, that is watching Karina from afar. For Winter, even tho this was her job Winter felt that she didn't want this job to end. She doesn't know why but watching Karina might be the best thing she ever did in her life. Strange isn't it?

Since Winter was the only child, without a mother in her life, and also a father who was busy keeping South Korea in peace, Winter had no one with her 24h 7d a week. But with Karina, suddenly she felt someone with her all the time, every day.

Winter didn't know that Karina felt the same too. Since Winter appeared in her life, Karina finally felt someone existence in her life, who was always there to look after her, making sure she was safe every day. Karina felt that she wasn't alone anymore in this world. In fact, Karina knew Winter was the healer making her feel less lonely cuz she knew, Winter was there with her all the time.

Karina did feel something was happening to her heart, and the cause of all of this was Winter. She often feels needy, longing for Winter. So, she always disturbed Winter first every time she saw her at their campus. Because Karina missed Winter, or maybe more?

Suddenly one day Karina came up with a CRAZY, IDIOT idea, to test herself if she really does longing Winter more than just a 'healer-mission' relationship. Also, she wants to know if Winter was really there for her without her knowing about it.

Karina took a cab to Han River that night. Gladly the waves and wind weren't strong so Karina thought this might be a good chance for her to do her experiment.

Karina then stands right next to the edge of the river, closing her eyes tight and lifting her arms up somehow like the scene you saw in Titanic. Then Karina took a deep breath.

"If she really gonna come, I'm gonna declare and surrender myself..."
