Third Person's POV
Yoko found everything surreal after the event ended. She never expected to crave that memorable kiss so intensely. Though she knew it was accidental, it left an indelible mark on her memory.
Faye intended to stay at their place for three months and then return to Korea for work after her 90-day vacation leave. During her stay, Faye decided to go on adventures and go clubbing every weekend with his nephew and classmates. Yoko always made sure to participate in every event that Faye organized. She cherished every opportunity to spend time with her.
They spent their weekends clubbing, drinking a bit while watching live bands and going on trips. For almost three months, Yoko had memorable days, often finding herself admiring Faye.
As two months passed and only five days remained before Faye's return to Korea, Bright said, "Auntie, we will miss our bonding for sure," during their last gathering at their house. They were celebrating a farewell party with his classmates and, of course, Yoko.
"Yes! You're the coolest Auntie we've ever met," his classmates echoed as they headed to the poolside. When Yoko realized it would be their last night together, she felt sad because she wouldn't see her crush again.
"That's okay, guys. I'll be back next year or maybe in two years; I'm not certain. But of course, I'll be back. We'll go to different bars and bond again. I will miss you guys for sure. For now, let's enjoy the last farewell party," Faye said, and everyone cheered. Yoko, however, was the only one who wasn't happy that night.
"You okay there, Yo?" Bright asked while chugging a beer. Yoko was just standing at the bar counter at Bright's house, staring into the distance while everyone else headed to the poolside. Faye and her friends were staying in the living room, and the younger crowd was outside.
"I'm fine," she replied, but her tone was emotionless.
"Aren't you enjoying the vibe? We can go dance outside and blast the music. It seems like you're just waiting for something here," he said, grabbing Yoko's wrist.
"Come on, let's have a blast the night before Aunt Faye's flight!" he exclaimed, dragging Yoko to the poolside.
The living room was already filled with Faye's friends, while the poolside was crowded with their friends and a few classmates.
Outside, the atmosphere was lively. Yoko wanted to chug a lot of beer because she felt sad knowing Faye would be leaving in five days. Despite the lively group, Yoko kept glancing at Faye's friends.
"It seems like you're not enjoying the night, Yo," Marissa, one of her friends, said, sitting beside her.
"I want to ask you something, Rissa," Yoko said, looking at her seriously while chugging her flavored beer.
"Oh, okay. What's that?" Marissa asked. They were sitting on a wooden couch. Yoko glanced at Faye, and Marissa followed her gaze to the people in the living room.
"Bright's Auntie is pretty handsome," Yoko said, staring at Faye while she chatted with her friends.
"Yes, she is pretty and has a boyish vibe," Marissa agreed, nodding and looking at Yoko.
"Is it normal for me to have a crush on her? I mean, she's a female, I'm a female, and our age gap is half my age," Yoko said, making Marissa nearly spit out her beer.
"Crazy! Are you serious?" Marissa chuckled.
Yoko nodded, and Marissa shrugged in disbelief.
"I'm serious! I have a crush on her!" Yoko exclaimed, and Marissa moved behind her chair.
