Yuri has been on diet and meditates a lot to adjust her strength in doing daily activities. She has the confidence that she will do anything finely while her friends are there. Her mind repeating to chant nothing could go wrong, trying to do mind controlas if it would help to calm her nerves and muscles.
However, Wonyoung followed her to the kitchen, letting Yujin to catch up with Yena in the living room while she said that she want to help Yuri. "Yuri-unnie, umm..." she hesitated,"you said you're okay but why do you wear eyepatch?" The tall girl questioned cautiously, just out of curiosity while also hoping it has nothing to do with Yuri being in coma before.
"This? Doctor said my eyes got irritated so I have to wear this for a while," Yuri answered while carefully placing cups on the marble counter. "I have it compressed too so it should be better in no time."
Wonyoung clamped her lips, relieved and wishing Yuri's eye to be healed soon. "Can I help you with something here, Unnie?"
"Oh, can you please hand me tea bags from the cupboard there?" she pointed at the upper cupboard near where Wonyoung's stand.
"Sure!" Wonyoung's slender hand reached out to the cupboard and take the handheld to open it but it doesn't budge. Tilting her head, she tried again, putting more strength to pull but still failed. "Uhh, why won't this open?" She groaned out of frustration, making Yuri to avert gaze on her.
"Let me then," Yuri approached over and grab the cupboard's handheld mildly. She drew in a breath, adjusting her power to ordinary to open it, or at least tried to but it still doesn't work. It wouldn't open up as if the cupboard was mocking her in some way. The next thing Yuri did was put a little more power while pulling, and then... it worked, with a loud thud. The cupboard being opened up but the handheld was detached from it, still in Yuri's firm grip.
Yuri turned her head at Wonyoung who seems shocked with what she just sees. "I-it opened..." she smiled awkwardly with the turn of event while cursing internally.
The heck is this?! Just how many times do these hands will break things until I can finally be accustomed??
"Whoah! I never know that you're so strong, Yuri-unnie," Wonyoung shook her head in disbelief. "Have you been secretly exercising with Yena-unnie all this time?" she teased with a smug grin on her face.
Cold sweats began to form in Yuri's temple, it's hard for her to actually think of an excuse at a time like this. "W-what are you talking about? Just hand me the tea bags already, please."
"Is everything alright here?" another voice cut off, intruding Yuri and Wonyoung's ears. "I heard a loud thud and come here immediately," Yujin's hand grasped the doorframe, her head peeking into the room to check what the loud noise was.
Meanwhile Yena appeared from behind Yujin, she knows something must have happened but she keep her face as straight as the backbone of a herring. Just then she noticed that Yuri broke the cupboard's handheld, her mind completely telling her to look for an excuse to help the brunette from this situation. "Was it the cupboard again?" she tilted her head a bit and sighed. "It has been giving us a hard time to open for quite a while already, I guess we need to repair it tomorrow." Sounded pretty convincing, that was the best excuse that Yena could think of.
"Y-yeah, we really should have fixed it earlier," Yuri added and shrugs, feeling all thankful to Yena for saving her face at the right time.
Ten minutes later, they were all sitting in the living room with a cup of lukewarm tea that Yuri brewed earlier for each of them. Comfy and homely. They chitchatted as if they haven't meet each other for ten years already with Yujin constantly delivering funny stories about either Wonyoung while they date or exposing Yuri's childhood. Yuri thought to herself that both Yujin and Wonyoung has grown up a lot but she also found them hasn't really changed at all. Being surrounded with lovely friends like this makes her heart warm, causing her to appreciate that one fine evening even after her lycanthrope's strength slipped away.
As the night's chill holds them alive, Yena had offered the two tall guests to stay the night since the house has more room. But they declined the kind offer, saying they have reserved a hotel room already and it would be such a waste of money if they cancel it.
It was both a pity and a relief at the same time, such a dilemma for Yuri who was still having fear with all the what ifs about her strength. Especially what if Yujin and Wonyoung found her weird or even worse, notices about her current self. She brushes her worries, her thoughts, and pondered mind aside, quietly drifting herself into blackness as she closes her eyes to sleep.
Yena who just finished from washing up find Yuri already fall asleep, she guided herself and get on the bed after turning off the room's light, only allowing the calm moonlight getting into their night from behind the window's curtain. She then placed a gentle kiss on Yuri's forehead and her closed eye; wishing her good night, a sweet dream, and also speedy recovery. Before sleep, Yena wondered what's the problem with Yuri's eye because it was so unusual, for a lycanthrope being to have such illness. It was like the healing ability doesn't work for her eyes.
Maybe I need to ask Chaewon later, she might know something about this. Yena thought to herself before sleeping, Yuri's condition somewhat concerns her in many ways.
Just after Yena's kiss on her closed eye, Yuri sees light coming into her vision. This time she knew she must be in a dream again. She was in a unfamiliar yet familiar room, it was the dark room in her previous dream, except that the room was bright this time around. She also noticed the ring on her finger and somehow it made her happy inside, curving her lips upward automatically by staring at it. She looked around her, the wall, the floor, the ceiling, everything was white and blinding. But she caught a silhouette of a figure. Yuri was sure that the figure with her back on her must be Yena. She was about to call her name,
But it wasn't her.
The figure wasn't Yena as Yuri doesn't recognize the hair color. The figure's hair color was... dark, and not blonde.
Who is that person?
