Love is Only You

Chapter 22

"Unnie... I have something to tell you."

"What is it tiny?"

"I-" Nancy hesitates for a moment and Jane looks at her before a voice interrupted them.

"Jane unnie! We need to go! Taeha is waiting for us!"

"Right! Sorry munchkin, we'll talk later okay?." Jane pats Nancy on the head before running over to Nayun. JooE and Ahin look at how Nancy's shoulders hung low. She looks at the back of her best friend walking away from her.

"I think she's giving up." Ahin whispered to JooE.

"I think so too." JooE said.

"Poor Nancy always gets discouraged too, Jane doesn't give her the light of day." Nancy walks back to the girls dejectedly. "What happened?"

"I don't know."

"That was your chance!" Nancy shrugs. "What's wrong?"

"Nothing, I just couldn't do it." Nancy looks at her phone before putting it back in her pocket.

"But Nancy-"

"I just couldn't do it okay?! Just leave me alone!" Nancy takes a deep breath in and looks away. "I'm sorry. I don't feel good all of a sudden. I think I'm going to head home now."

"Why don't we go back to my house and have a movie day?" JooE said trying to reason with her. She knew something was off with her friend and she didn't want the girl to be alone right now.

"No, it's fine. You two have fun, I have something to do anyways." Nancy makes her way out the park and bumps into someone. "I'm so sorry-"

"Nancy?" Once Nancy sees who the person she had bumped into, she loss her ability to speak and ended up running out the park. "Nancy! Wait!" The person looks around before settling their eyes on two pairs of eyes. "JooE! Ahin! I didn't expect to see you two here." The two girls spot Yeonwoo from the distance. All three girls hug and exchange greetings. "What brings you girls here?"

"We were with Nancy, Jane unnie, and Nayun unnie. But Nancy went home and Jane unnie and Nayunnie went somewhere with Taeha unnie." Yeonwoo nods.

"What are you doing here?"

"I just wanted to come out the house and get some fresh air."

"How are you unnie? We haven't seen you for a couple of days. Is everything okay?" Yeonwoo looks over to JooE who looks the other way.

"I'm okay, I just haven't been myself lately, so I've been taking some time off to focus on me. I'm sorry if I made you worried, it wasn't my intention."

"I hope you're feeling better soon unnie, we all miss you. You don't hang out with us anymore." JooE stays silent, she knows the real why Yeonwoo wasn't coming around. It was because of Nancy and Jane, JooE knew it was hard for Yeonwoo to be around Nancy because she rejected her and it was especially hard for Yeonwoo to be around Jane because she was what Yeonwoo wanted to be for the younger girl.

"Is Nancy okay? She ran out after she bumped into me. " The older girl asked them.

"Yeah! She's just... Tired?" JooE hits her head as Ahin laughs nervously at Yeonwoo's raised eyebrow.

"Ahin-ah."

"Yes unnie?"

"You wouldn't lie to unnie would you?"

"Me? Lie to you? Never!"

"Ahin, just shut up." JooE said trying to save Ahin's dignity.

"You don't need to lie to me, is it about Jane?"
