Friends ❧ Jinjoo

十四

Kriesha dismissed Yujin from their surprisingly long discussion— planning. The older curled herself into an imperfect shape of a ball, trying to doze off. She hasn't slept properly for the past few days just from worrying about the two. But perhaps she shouldn't worry too much since they aren't that careless.

The younger chuckled at her unnie's actions. Knowing that the older needs some sleep, she placed her blanket unto the older acting as if Yujin is a big sister. It's fun for her to act as the older one at some times.

She carefully rushes out of the room making sure not to make a single noise otherwise it would interrupt Kriesha's sleep. It was still early so Yujin has a lot of time to wait but she didn't plan to go back to sleep. Rather, she will just look after Minju. The nightmare was bothering her so perhaps it's the best thing to do.

And thankfully she did the right choice.

The moment Yujin entered Minju's room, her eyes dilate from what she saw. Minju look rather terrible. It's the same that happened last time she had a nightmare but way worse. Perhaps it was Chaewon again. Pretty explainable since that's the reason why Yujin came in the first place.

However, what Yujin guessed was different. This time, Minju cried out her name. Minju's voice sounded really frail. It truly is worse than the previous one. Not only that bit her whole body is shaking as she sweats at the same time.

Yujin touched her forehead by instinct and immediately pull back her hands. It seems that Minju's temperature isn't that well. She quickly picks up a thermometer to see how bad her state is. Thankfully, it wasn't that bad but it still needs to be treated. 

She rushed out of the room but made sure not to make a noise as moves in order to avoid interrupting Minju's sleep. Although it's not that much of a big deal, it's still way better for her unnie to rest. She should at least help Minju even if it isn't much of great help. She promised to make her happy after all.

Her feelings didn't matter at that time. Trying to impress her isn't important that much. Trying to do what she planned isn't much of a need at that time. It's pointless. Especially when Minju isn't in a good state. That day, she's slowly starting to accept what reality is. Perhaps she should let go of the unbearable feeling. That no matter how hard she tried, the result will still be the same. That it's impossible for her wish to happen. Maybe they just met to be best friends and end of the story. It will be difficult but she's sure she can let go of things. It may take a while but is fine. Rushing it will just lead to a worse situation.

On the other hand, it seems that Minju is gradually accepting Yujin. Not as a friend nor a best friend but way more than that. It isn't certain yet but it likely is the case. She never felt what Yujin felt after all. But one thing is certain, that what Yujin does for her makes her truly the happiest.

Yujin stared at her unnie with a devastating look in her eyes. She felt like crying but of course, she shouldn't. Not when she's right in front of Minju. Her unnie could wake up at any moment. She doesn't want to worry about her.

The light from the window beamed towards the sleeping Minju. It seems that Minju wasn't comfortable about it. So Yujin moved closer and blocked the light with her hand. A good sleep could at least make Minju's health feel better.

Kriesha unexpectedly entered the room. Her entrance was sort of loud which worried the younger. Fortunately, Minju didn't wake up from her slumber. The younger gestures Kriesha to be quiet and she listened. She had no idea Minju would be in that state which Yujin could understand. Yujin dismissed Kriesha's actions and proceeded to continue looking out for Minju.

Kriesha glanced at Yujin and it seems that the younger looks tired. She taps the younger's shoulder and smiled at her. Yujin knows what she meant but still continued to do what has to be done. Kriesha still wanted the younger to take a break so she glared at her. And finally, Yujin listened and leave. It's her only choice for Yujin to rest. Even if she wasn't there with her, she knows that Yujin tried her very best to take care of Minju. She was sure to reward her someday. Her first reward was to rest well.

I finally updated it?

I actually had to reread the previous chapters since I sort of forgot some of the plots. Honestly, I actually felt like an actual reader reading another's story lol. It's actually the first story I didn't cringe while reading it. Kinda strange but it felt great.

Speaking of great, I would like to thank you guys for your support. I didn't expect that there are still people who want me to continue this. I actually find this almost impossible to update but because of you guys, I was able to continue this.

Once again thank you so much~ ^^
