Save My Love (SinRin)

Chapter 20: Coffee

"Umji-yah." She poked the maknae's soft cheeks.

"Hmmm?" She replied without taking her eyes off of the thick book she has been devouring all morning. The Ye-sisters are the members who read the most for leisure but the younger Ye spends more time with good literature while the older Ye wastes more time taking-care-slash-flirting with other members. She just returned to the apartment from an early Sunday mass with her family and she went directly to their room to retrieve the book she just started reading the night before.

"Are you busy?" She flashed a toothy grin.

"I can see from my periphery that you're smiling devilishly. My eyes are hurt by your blinding pearly whites. Okay... Page 124." She hastily slammed the book to a close. "What's up eonnie?"

"I want to talk to you about something." She lowered her voice even if they were obviously alone in the room.

"Okay, as long as it does not involve you crying. What is it?" Yewon lowered her voice too but more of a sarcasm than conformity to Sinb's needless whispering.

"So, last Friday..." She was still speaking softly. "It was the first time that Yerin-eonnie and I did it. That was the first time we ever kissed that way. I mean, you know, not the usual way and it was almost non-stop. But then after that was blurry and all I remember was a lot of heavy breathing and sounds coming out of me that I couldn't control. And then we were really close, but of course because she was on top of me." Sinb was so focused on her account of the events two nights ago that she used all kinds of hand gestures imaginable. "Yewon-ah..."

*Snap

"Yewon-ah!" She jarred the maknae's shoulders. "Are you listening??"

"What? Why? Huh? Sorry I spaced-out. Were you saying something?" Distressed, Yewon started blinking and shaking her head forcefully.

"Yah! I've been talking! Don't make me repeat what I just said!" She was yelling but still in a whispery manner and started to become restless on her legs.

"I certainly won't want you to repeat it. Eonnie, wait here." The younger girl abandoned the room in a flash. In four seconds, she was back with an uninvited human who was coerced to enter the room and sit on the mattress where Sinb was waiting impatiently.

"Yah! Why did you take her here??" She automatically protested.

"If you have any questions, she is your only hope eonnie." After closing the door quietly, Yewon sat across Joon and proceeded to unearth the earphones under her pillow.

"What's the problem that Yewonnie had to drag me here..." She side-eyed the maknae who still haven't located the earpieces. "...literally. I hope this time you're not going to yell because I love her, I love her so much." Joon went on with her ruthless imitation of the young Eunbi's crying voice at the park.

"Tsssss...! Do I really have to tell her?" She mockingly pointed at Joon while directing her question to Umji who was already in panic, afraid of not finding her earphones before Sinb could restart her narration. She was now excavating the entire head of the bed for the plugs that will salvage her remaining innocence.

"She'll be the only one who can get the boat afloat." The maknae was distracted beyond words.

Sinb's eyebrows furrowed to her response, and neither did Joon understand the absentminded answer.

After letting out a sigh of defeat, "Okay. Tsk. So, last Friday, when you told us to just watch a movie in the room, Yerin-eonnie and I... You know..."

"I know what?" Joon got distracted by the thick book that laid on the bed. "Oh I know this book! I read this for a report in high school! Whoaaaaa the Korean version cover is stunning!"
