The best in me

Chapter 5

3 months had already passed since they last saw each other. They went from texting and calling each other every now and then to a daily thing. Both began telling each other about their days like they were best friends and would fight like a married couple despite being unofficial. Those who knew about their feelings knew they were pretty much together without having put a tittle to their relationship.

Kyungri met with Nana after 3 months of promoting. They went out for drinks and Nana mentioned how upset she was. Now that Kyungri and Kangjoon had their own thing going on she felt left out. And had become jealous at how they would keep in touch leaving her out. She even mentioned she went for drinks with Hani and that they both agreed that Kyungri had forgotten about them. Kyungri liked the jealous Nana and teased her for it.

"He won't even tell me anything anymore. It's like we were never close. He doesn't reply and neither do you!! " Nana said quite upset. While Kyungri kept laughing thinking it was cute how she was acting.

"Don't you think your being too much. Being jealous of us..... I mean don't you have jonghyun-ssi? " Kyungri asked still laughing.

Nana turns her face down to face her empty glass. While pouring her self another drink "No... " she said with a sad face not looking at Kyungri.

"What do you mean? Did something happen?" the concerned Kyungri asked

"He doesn't notice me"

"Yes he does. You guys are always together!"

"No he only notices Yura-ssi." now looking at her unnie. "Ever since WGM happened. He liked her the moment he looked into her eyes. I know him and I know his feeling for her. He sees me as a friend and nothing else. I had always liked Yura-ssi but now it's like everytime we meet and she talks to me I just want to smack her." she pause and looked up at Kyungri with teary eyes as she continues "I know I shouldn't be this way. She won over his heart and even if they can't be together she feels the same. Their marriage ended cuz of me. I just wish they would of had an actual closure maybe that way they would be over each other." Nana says in tears.

Kyungri placing a hand on her back patting it slow "It okay. Maybe you aren't meant to be with him or maybe you are. Maybe she is or maybe she isnt." she kept consoling Nana after Nana was calm enough she drove her home. Nana fell asleep on the car and Kyungri thought hard about what Nana had said and how she cried for jonghyun. She was close with Yura too but no one knew. They had met before she had even debuted and they became close after her break up with her boyfriend. After dropping Nana off Kyungri felt the need to be alone.

She drove and drove and drove until she finally decided to stop at a small park. In that park there was a trail that would go to the bushes

***She went dowS the trail once before she was an idol. No one would go passed the bushes but she was a curious person so she decided to go past the bushes deep down the hill so deep that you couldn't hear the car passing by anymore, was an abandoned small cabin. She made that place her own. She cleaned it and took books and snack for her enjoy herself when ever she needed time to her self.

Yura came to find this place by accident. She was running one day and she fell into the bushes. But being the curious person she is she followed the trail. It was a trail left in the trees, markings and string wrapped around each tree on a straight line that would go deep into the forest. It was dark and the deeper you would walk the dark it would look until you reached the cabin.

That trail was left by Kyungri so she could always find her way there.

When Yura arrived she heard noises from the inside. It sounded like thing being thrown and two people arguing. She peeked through a small whole on the side of the door and she saw a girl and a guy fighting. The guy was holding her by the wrist as she would try to get away. Every time she tried to release herself he would pull even harder. He became so angry he lifted his hand and was about to hit her when Yura suddenly barged in jumping on the guy causing him to release the girls hand and he got Yura off his back and ran out. Yura was a bit hurt but she went to the girl who was now in the floor crying she had bruises on her arm. And that was the day Yura met Kyungri. From that day on Yura would go every day to look for her but she was never there. A month had passed and she was still waiting. Everyday no matter what day it was she would go. Until her schedule became hard to work around and she stopped going but did Kyungri after what happened.

A few years later even with her busy schedule she would still go as often as she could. She decided not to give up because she wanted to make sure that girl was okay. She wanted to know her name and just a little more about that girl from those many years ago. Finally the day Kyungri got told she'd be joining 9Muses she decided to go back to the small cabin. When she arrived she remembered the day from year ago and also the girl who helped her. Just as she was thinking of Yura, Yura appeared at the door.

"You?" a shocked Kyungri spoke apologizing right after for her rudeness. Yura ran to her and gave her a hug a quite tight one. She let go after she realized that it was rude of her to do something like that no knowing Kyungri.

"I been looking for you"

"For me?"

"Yes, I just felt the need to find you.." she paused "even though I don't know you. I kept worrying for you and I kept coming come every time I could but I never saw you again well until now. "

"All these years? You kept coming back?"

"Yes! I knew you would come back. Soon or later and you did."

Pulling Kyungri to the small old ripped couch she ask "What's your name? Where are you from? What have you been doing? Where have you been? " causing Kyungri to laugh a little.

"Im Gyeong Ree but people call me Kyungri, I'm from Busan, I been training all this time. How old are you?"

"Oh I apologize I am Ah-young, in 92 liner."

"I'm 90 liner"

"OMG I'm so so sorry unnie." Yura bows and apologize's to Kyungri for being informal. "It's okay you don't have to be formal to me not after the help you gave me on that day. Even if I'm older let's be friends." and like that they became close. ***

As she reaches the small cabin again after remember remembering how she came to find it and how she had come close to Yura. She went there once again to rest away from everyone and everything. As she reaches the cabin she had decided to stay a few days so she turned off her phone. Luckily she wasn't promoting at that moment she could rest where ever she wanted.

Kangjoon tried to contact her but wasnt able to reach her. He began to worry as there was no response from her.

Kangjoon dials Nana number " Nona have you heard from Kyungri nona?"

"She dropped me off not too long ago why"

"She won't answer or pick up my calls"

"Maybe she fell asleep"

"No we always talk at this time and she doesn't go to bed until past midnight"

"Maybe she's tired and decided to sleep early. You do know she's on her break and can finally rest all she wants right? Besides we just had drinks so she probably passed out. "

"No Nona, no she doesn't sleep at this time! "

"Fine I'll call her if she doesn't pick up she sleeping and you'll have to wait until tomorrow morning. Okay? " Nana says as she hangs up and dials Kyungris number. The call goes straight to voicemail and she find that a bit strange "Kyungri never turns off her phone" she thinks to her self. Right before calling Kangjoons number again.

"Her phone is off"

"I told you! We both know she never and I mean NEVER turns it off. Something isn't right here."

"I'll try her members, you try others"

And they hanged up the call.
