Cherry Blossoms and You

Chapter 7: New Friends

Taeyeon's POV

    "Will you please go to prom with me?" Yuri then kneels down before Jessica and holds out a box with a corsage in it like it was a marriage proposal. Everyone gasps, staring at Yuri and Jessica for their reactions. I look over at Jessica who was completely speechless, her eyes were as wide as an owl's occasionally darting her eyes on Yuri, then on the corsage. Yuri however seemed like she was aching for an answer, but at the same time wanted to give Jessica some time to think.

    Silence overtakes us, until Jessica finally breaks the silence.

    "Okay Yuri, I'll go with you," Jessica said without any reaction in her voice whatsoever, making me believe that she doesn't mean it and that she's just toying with Yuri's feelings, but all of those thoughts flew out the window when Jessica stood up, took both of Yuri's hands, and lifted a blushing Yuri's chin up, staring deeper into her eyes before finally closing the space in between them, with a simple kiss on the lips that lingered and was left wanting more. After Jessica left, Yuri smiled as she brushed her thumb against her lips, reminiscing about the kiss. But when doing so, people started whispering to each other, especially the crazy fan girls who were jealous over Jessica and discussed how they were planning to get rid of Jessica. Unfortunately for them, Yuri hears the whole thing, and boils in anger.

    "Yah! You will not hurt Jessica Jung!" Yuri yells at the top of her lungs while standing on a table.

    "It will be useless even if you try anything, because I will always be there for her. I'll protect her from any harm, stay by her side, keep her healthy, care for her, keep her warm whenever she's cold, hold hands with her wherever we go, be with her through any problem she faces, and especially to love her no matter how cold you all think she is. That's right, I'm in love. Sorry to all my fan girls, but it's true I am in love with Jessica Jung, and no one here will ever change that! Understood?" Vigorous nods are then seen on the heads of everyone here, getting quite intimidated by Yuri's passionate, and beautiful speech.

    "Thank you, now come on Taengoo let's go, we have some preparing to do," I then get pulled away by Yuri after she gets down from the table, and we leave the cafeteria in silence.

    Finally, graduation day. The day that I've been looking forward to ever since I step foot into high school. It meant new opportunities, finally becoming a part of society, a chance at finally achieving our dreams, but for some people, their dreams don't seem as reachable as we want it to be. An example would be me. My parents still don't get my decisions in becoming a singer, but they've learned to accept and support me anyway, as a result, they let me move out after graduation into my own apartment and made me a deal that if I can manage to start somewhere at becoming a singer within the next four years, then they will believe that I can reach my dreams no matter how unreachable they may seem, and that was my only goal.

    It was the big day, and I got up and got dressed for the whole affair. The prom was tonight, and of course Yuri was the most excited.

    "Taeyeonnie! Is this outfit okay for the night? Or is this one? What if Jessica thinks it doesn't match her? Oh god oh god oh god!"

    "Oh my god Yuri calm please you are making me dizzy,"

    "Sorry Taengoo but I just can't help it! This is the Jessica Jung we're talking about here!"

    "Aish just wear whatever you think looks good, I'm sure she won't mind."

   "You sure?"
