Unspoken Definites

YUZURU would be leaving for Japan tonight. He could not imagine how the months of preparation for this quick leave had rolled slowly and now after arriving in Seoul yesterday, his break felt almost over. He forced himself to find comfort in the fact that they would still have the whole daytime to spend together. The odds may have been in the favour of the young man as luckily, Yuna had no class and there were no meetings for the publication today.

"You still wore them?" Yuna asked as they stepped out of the house. Yuzuru was fixing his glasses over his nose.

He nodded. "The world is a little less gauzy when I have these on,"

"The world will be a brighter place for you if you stopped playing video games at night time with the lights of your room turned off." Yuna said. She knew how he came to wear his first pair of eyeglasses.

"I will remember that, Doctor."

Yuna slapped his forearm and Yuzuru just laughed it off.

They left at 9 in the morning. The two thought of a place to go. The truth was, Yuzuru merely paid attention to where they were going because he was just happy that he's with Yuna. The first snow on the ground was just melting when they began strolling.

"Where are we going?" Yuzuru asked as they boarded the subway.

"Where do you want to go?" Yuna asked, slipping the strap of her backpack over her shoulders.

Yuzuru reached for the other strap, fixing it carefully over her other shoulder blade. "I don't know much around here."

"How about Lotte World? I guess we're going to get a big deal of discount since you endorse their company. What do you think, Yuzu?"

Yuzuru shook his head. "I think... It'll be a bad idea. It will make things messy if they find out that I'm in Korea."

Yuna agreed and she didn't want this day to be messy for them both. They first found a place to eat and visited some shops at Myeongdong. Yuzuru bought some presents for Saya and his parents.

They passed by a small shop that sold accessories and Yuzuru found a little Pooh keychain.

"Hey look! Isn't it cute?" He asked showing Yuna the thing.

She smiled, "You always find Pooh cute. What's new?"

Yuzuru frowned. "You gave me my first Pooh."

"So?" She said the two lettered-word flatly but in her head she remembered how she retrieved that Pooh plush toy from the claw machine in the arcade.

"I was forced to find him cute so that I could keep him."

His eyes were fixed on the keychain, as though studying the littlest of detail of the bear's face.

"But I eventually find him cute though." He finished meeting her gaze. "You like one?"

"I don't." She said looking away feeling embarrassed that the guy caught her stealing glances at him.

Yuzuru stared at her as though asking, How could you be so cruel and not like the little guy?

"Get one now." Yuzuru suggested instead. "I'll buy you one."

"Don't bother."

"Don't be jealous over him, Yuna."

"I'm not." Yuna replied defensively.

"You're jealous of him. He's a tolerable company all these years but I feel nothing more than that about him. I'll choose you anytime of the day, Yuna. Do not ever forget that."
