"stop right now. i will never forgive you."

"i'm so sorry unnie... i have to..."

"uno," sooyoung said as she placed a +4 card on the deck.

"sooyoung-ah!!" joohyun screamed in frustration.

seungwan and seulgi desperately watched the two playing as they had already lost the game. they were happy to be able to hang out with sooyoung as their schedules have all gotten busy with training and exercising.

one of the girls' manager walked into the room, making sure that the girls were present. "hey girls, time for training. ready?" he said as he glared at sooyoung with a slight sense of anger.

after he left, sooyoung began to stand up and get ready to leave. "i'll get going, guys. don't worry about me and have fun during practice. bye," she said before anyone could rebel against her decision.

"sooyoung-" seungwan said, but was too late as the younger girl had already left.

—•—

sooyoung left the sm entertainment building and was able to hail-a-cab to go to her house. the driver was surprisingly quiet as he would often stare at sooyoung in the passenger seat.

when sooyoung realized that she was in her neighborhood, she yelled at the cab driver to stop at yerim's house. "here, stop!" she then gave the cab money and thanked him for the drive home.

she was now staring at yerim's house with mixed feelings. her heart told her to talk to the younger girl inside of the house, yet her mind told her that she was getting herself into a one-sided relationship. she always knew that she had a soft-spot for younger girls, as they all reminded her of her late sister. the memories of hurting her sister clogged sooyoung's brain and begged her to change it by creating new memories with a new person.

she was dressed in a long, brown trench coat with jeans and boots as she knocked on the familiar door, freezing and shivering as well. just like always, she saw the younger girl open the door for her. sooyoung's eyes shined as she missed seeing the younger girl. she wanted to be able to see and hear the girl's voice to make her forget about everything else in her life.

"unnie?" yerim softly asked the older girl as she noticed that the older was spacing out while looking at her eyes.

"hm? i just wanted to talk to you," sooyoung said as she smiled. she didn't know what she would talk about, but she let her heart make all of the decisions for her.

"sure, come in," yerim said with a forced smile as she felt bad for the older girl. she knew that sooyoung would always come to her house if she kept up her ignorant attitude.

yerim led sooyoung to her bedroom in which the older instantly sat on the floor to keep yerim's bed and belongings clean. yerim got surprised as she knew that sorim would have sat on the bed without hesitation even if she had been outside for hours.

"what did you want to talk about?" yerim finally asked the older as she comfortably sat down on her bed.

"you."

yerim could feel her heart beating faster than it had ever beaten. she was instantly reminded of the memories in which she wanted sorim to talk about her, but all sorim would talk about was herself and her love for her boyfriend. she instantly fell in love with sooyoung the moment they met, but she didn't want to ruin sooyoung's life, just as she believed she had ruined sorim's life. so, she decided to play with her reaction and remain calm. "what about me?"

"just, how cute you are when you smile, how happy i am when i see you, how my heart can't resist loving you," sooyoung said as she stood up to hug and caress the younger girl sitting on her bed.
