Take 16

Seoyeon's POV

I quickly texted Chaewon that I was leaving the mall then, texted my friend, Yubin.

S- can i ask you something?

Y- whats up

S- how do you know if you like someone?

Y- your heart might beat faster around them i guess?

S- what if it's just excitement?

Y- good point

Y- well there is a way you would know for sure

S- what?

Y - Do you ever feel jealous of the people who are close to them?

...

'What?' Yooyeon said, as she opened the door. 

'Move, I'm coming in.'

'What?'

'i'm here for the headphones I gave you.'

'oh yeah sure.'

Seoyeon walks into Yooyeon's room, looking at the scattered notebooks and the guitar on the floor. In a neutral tone, she asks, "What are you doing?"

'writing a song.'

'why aren't you in class?'

'i don't have class today.'

'kay.'

Seoyeon's POV

I looked at the photos on her wall, one with her arm around another's shoulder.

(if you're jealous, you like that person for sure.) 

Yubin's text rang in my mind. I look at these pictures. I'm not jealous though?

'Hey, Yooyeo-'

'WAIT, wait, Nien is calling. Be quiet ok?'

I stopped.

'Hey, what's up? Nothing, in my room?' Yooyeon smiled, talking to the phone, 'I know, don't put pressure on me okay? I can't just write a song in 10 minutes. Are you free this Saturday? My mum wants to see you. Okay, see you later.'

When she finally hung up, I pretended to be focused on a random notebook on the floor, flipping it open to a page filled with messy scribbles and half-formed lyrics. "So, you and Nien... seem close," I muttered, trying to sound casual.

'of course, she's my friend.'

'now what, she's coming over?'

'yeah? she slept over last week too.'

'why didn't you tell me?'

'what's wrong with you today?'

'whatever. Keep the earphones.'
