"Spill."

Jeongyeon was sitting at her backyard, she had been moping around ever since she found out about Jihyo, Sana didn't seem to be doing much better, but always handled these things with much more poise. Still, the Yoo sisters got fed up with their little one and decided it was time to cut it out.

"Sujin unnie." Jeongyeon is a bit surprised, the middle Yoo was never the confrontational one.

"Enough is enough, now spill."

"What are y-"

"Don't play dumb with me, Jeongyeon. This moping around has gone on long enough, even Sana seems down lately. Now spill it out." Sujin is very intimidating when she gets serious.

"Fine, but don't tell Seungyeon unnie."

"No promises, but I'll try." The older one offers a warm smile.

"Alright, first, know that I love Sana and this is something I talked to her about already. Also, please don't tell."

"Fine, just get to it."

"So, there is this girl, she's called Par- Im Jihyo, we met at school, and happened to work on the same place. And there is something about her that draws me in, I have no idea what it is, but I can't seem to just not think about her. But her friends are all too protective and never seem to let anyone too close to her."

"Whoa there, casanova. You pinning for another girl when you date Sana?"

"It's not like that, and Sana feels like this too. In fact, she was the one to bring it up first."

"So, these friends of her, are they keeping her from everyone or just you two?"

"That's the thing, they all keep to themselves, but we managed to talk to them properly. Chae is part of the group."

"That's good? You mean Son Chae? Our little, angry cousin?"

"That one. We, finally, managed to go up and talk to them, but Jihyo isn't here anymore, so Sana and I have been a bit down lately."

"Oh, did she?"

"What? Oh, no! I mean she went overseas to study, so we can't really talk to her, not to mention get close or anything."

"Good, don't scare me like that! And how is Sana holding up?"

"She is better than me, you know how we work. But she took it hard too, I try to ease things for her, but I know it's not enough. It's not enough for me too."

"Come here." Sujin pulls Jeongyeon closer and hugs her warmly. "Do you know what it is about this girl that has the two of you interested in her?"

"Not really? I mean, I just feel different about her, and Sana can't explain it either." Jeongyeon starts sobbing, it took her long enough.

"Jeong, I know you think this Jihyo girl might be someone special, but isn't that just your hormones raging?"

"You mean to say Sana and I are just horny about Jihyo?"

"Pretty much. I know you never had any, can't say anything about Sana, though, but isn't that just you thinking too much into it?" Sujin laughs at her sister's incredulous face.

"I'm not having this conversation." Jeongyeon tries to get away from her sister, who just tightens her hold.

"Yes you are, unless you prefer Seungyeon. She said she will do something about your moping if you were still at it when she comes back today."

"I'm definitely having this conversation with you right now."

"Thought so. Now, why don't you go and spend the night at Sana's? It's friday anyways, why not spend the weekend?"

"I could, but you have to promise to never tell Seungyeon unnie about this."

"I won't tell. Just go, maybe get this.... Eagerness out of your system?"

"Unnie, please stop. We are just going to talk, alright."

"Sure thing. Make sure to tell mom and dad you are going before you leave. They are at the kitchen."

"Will do. See you later, unnie." Jeongyeon gets up, hugging her sister before leaving.

She texts Sana about spending the weekend, then, and making her way into the kitchen, maybe to grab something to eat before she goes, the walk to Sana's house was a bit long, and it was too early for her to be willing to take the bus.

THEfunlady: Sacchan! I'm thinking about crashing there for the weekend. Can I?

MsPullYaTongue: Of course you can! I'm telling mom to make more dinner!

THEfunlady: I said I was thinking of it.

MsPullYaTongue: Sure you did. Don't be long, I'm already waiting.

Jeongyeon just laughs, making herself a sandwich with the meats and cheeses their parents had cooked that afternoon, they would always take friday afternoons off to experiment with new flavors for mr Yoo's restaurant, or mrs Yoo's bakery (big part of the reason Seungyeon was always trying to come up with new pastries). And made her way to her bedroom to pack her backpack for the weekend, despite the clothes she already had at Sana's room, and took a shower, even though the walk there would make her a bit sweaty, she wanted to smell the best she could.
