Krystal's POV

"You......"

I was so surprised to see her that I forget to call her Unnie "Yuri unnie" I said, feeling guilty about being impolite.

"Hi, Krys" she smiled but her eyes are sad and cold "Today is Naeyeon's first birthday, right? I just want to come by and give her a present."

"Why don't you come inside, Unnie" I don't know how Jess Unnie will react but Yuri unnie's my guest and I think it's very nice of her that she came to congratulate Naeyeon.


"No, thank you." She forced a smile. I think she doesn't want to see Unnie.


"Krys, who is it?" Amber walked to us with Naeyeon on her shoulder "Oh...." Amber said and stared at Yuri.

"Hi, Am"

"Yul!" Amber said, putting Naeyeon down and went to hug Yuri "How are you?

"I'm fine" she said. Yuri Unnie knelt down in front of Naeyeon "Wow, little Princess, you've grown so much."

I guess you don't remember me, you were just a tiny baby the last time I saw you"


"Princess" Amber told Naeyeon "This is Auntie Yuri, she was there when you were born. No say 'Hi'l

"Hi, Auntie Yuri" Naeyeon said.

"Wow, she talks this good already?"

"Yeah, she learned quite fast, she's a little bit slow on walking and her motoric development is a bit behind" Amber stroke Naeyeon's hair "A bit like her scary auntie"


The atmosphere got awkward after Amber mentioned Jess Unnie. Yuri unnie got restless, she got up and hurriedly said "Nice seeing you again, Naeyeon. Happy Birthday again"


Naeyeon nodded.

"Soojung, why are you guys talking so long? Who is it?"

I turned around and saw the rest if the group coming to the door, wanting to know what was holding us up. Tiff and Taeyeon Unnie gave Yuri a hug, I introduced Sooyoung to Yuri unnie as a family friend. I saw how Yuri unnie and Jess unnie's eyes met for a second and after that Unnie just froze and stared at the floor.


The air got heavy.


"I got to go" Yuri unnie said

"Thanks for coming" I told her and hugged her. Amber hugged her too while everyone waved her goodbye.


"Nice seeing you guys again" Yuri unnie forced another smile "Bye Naeyeon, bye guys" There was an awkward silence before she said with her trembling voice, "Goodbye, Sica"


Yuri unnie left, Jess unnie kept staring at the ground. Amber lifted Naeyeon and gestured Tiff and Taeyeon unnie to go back in. I looked at Jess unnie, I know that she crying and I know that Yuri unnie's crying too.


What happened to you guys? Why did you guys break up? Even if it was a fight, look at you two, look at how hurt you two are being away from wach other. If you guys still love each other, why don't you try again? I looked at my sister, why don't you go after her? Question after question filled my head. I was about to talk to her but Soo unnie touched my hand and shook her head.


"I forgot something in my car" Jess unnie said and walked downstairs.



"Unnie" I called her and wanted to go after her but I stopped as Soo unnie said, "I'll go. Stay with your daughter. It's her birthday"
