Save Me

"Hey. Sorry I'm late. Momo spilled a drink on my shirt, that girl is a lot of trouble." Jeongyeon greet Nayeon from behind but the other women's eyes were glued to what Jeongyeon was holding. "Is that- wait a sec- those-," Nayeon doesn't get to finish her sentence when Jeongyeon butted in. "Ahh this? some girl gave me to me on my way here. From a secret admirer she said." Nayeon was silent. Looking at Jeongyeon expressionless. "Did you really believe that? Nayeon, I'm kidding. This, is, for you." Jeongyeon snapped Nayeon out of her mind and handed over the bouquet of pink baby breath. "Hey, cat got your tongue? it's for you really." Jeongyeon feel guilty. She didn't intended to joke like that, she's just trying to loosen herself up a bit since she's kinda nervous facing the girl with a huge bouquet of flowers. "Sorry. I was just, surprised. How did you.." Nayeon was speechless once again. "Did I what?" Jeongyeon asked, looking confused. "Know that this is my favorite flower?" Nayeon continues. "Really? it's your favorite? I didn't know, but when I cross my path over the florist, I get a hunch of getting these one. I mean, they don't have it right away, so I thought of ordering-" "Jeong I love it. Thank you. It's beautiful." Nayeon mutters, shutting the blonde from rambling more.

The two had their dinner in a fancy restaurant near Jeongyeon's hotel. After a few courses of meal, Jeongyeon excuse herself to the ladies and came back a few minutes later to an empty sits. Jeongyeon scanned around the area and noticed Nayeon with her back facing her, sitting on a piano bench at the corner of the restaurant. Jeongyeon approached the other woman. "There you are. Do you know how to play?" Jeongyeon asked. "I wish. But too bad the teacher died before I could've enrolled the class." Nayeon blurted out innocently. "I'm just kidding haha I didn't know where that came from. There's no way I can learn to play this thing. No one's willing to teach me I'm the worst student in mastering instruments, I'm not gonna lie." Nayeon did try to learn to play few instruments back in college but she decided not to try anymore since she gave up easily. "Can you play?" Nayeon shot back the same question to Jeongyeon. Jeongyeon just smiled. "Well I guess we're the same then. Come on, let's go." Nayeon removed herself from the sit thinking Jeongyeon would follow, but to her surprised when she's half way walking to their table, she heard the piano played by someone. Nayeon turned her back facing the person with her mouth hangs open. It was Jeongyeon who plays. She's walking back to the piano standing beside Jeongyeon, amazed. 'It's Perfect by Ed Sheeran.' She watched Jeongyeon's fingers running thru the piano keys delicately. Nayeon was in awed. She didn't realized she was singing softly, that only can be heard by Jeongyeon. Jeongyeon was stealing glances at Nayeon. 'Definitely a moment to treasure', she thinks to herself. The two was so caught up in the moment, they didn't realize that they have attracted few pair of eyes on them. They evening was shared rather gracefully with everybody there.

Nayeon and Jeongyeon left the restaurant around 8PM. After having a little disagreement of Nayeon insisting to pay for their meal but Jeongyeon beat her to it, the two finally decided to get moving. "Are you sure you want to walk to the hotel? I mean, we might see the hotel from here but its quite a distance you know." Jeongyeon asked, hoping to get a 'no' for an answer since she didn't want the other woman get tired of walking. "Ouch that hurts. I may not looked fit but I can run a marathon Yoo Jeongyeon." Nayeon replied while hugging her bouquet of flowers. "Nooo. No no don't get me wrong, I didn't mean it like that. I just don't want you to get tired that's all. Sorry. I didn't mean to offend." Nayeon stared at Jeongyeon. The blonde wears a guilty face. "Jeongyeon, I'm not offended. I just wanted to joke around with you hm? don't take everything too seriously okay? haha you're so cute." If Jeongyeon's body was transparent, Nayeon could've seen her heart pounding like crazy right now. Jeongyeon was usually so composed, but being around Nayeon makes her became timid.

The walks took about 15 minutes to reach the hotel. Jeongyeon refused to let Nayeon left the hotel by herself. She wanted to sent the other woman home but Nayeon decline the offer saying Jeongyeon did too much for her already. "Nayeon please let me sent you home." Jeongyeon begged. "No. Nope. Jeongyeon I'll be fine. Besides, my sister's house is just a few minutes away from here. Off you go now. I'm not leaving until you leave." Jeongyeon felt defeated. She's worried but she don't want to disappoint the other woman as well. "Haish. Okay. I'll go now. Promise you'll text me when you reached home, please." Nayeon just nodded. "Thank you for tonight." Nayeon looked at Jeongyeon walking towards the lobby but then Jeongyeon suddenly turned her back and walked towards Nayeon, smoothly cupping the other woman's cheeks as she place a chaste kiss on her lips. Nayeon closed her eyes and savored the taste. Jeongyeon released her hands from Nayeon's flushed cheeks and they stared into each other's eyes. Jeongyeon just grinned and place a quick peck on Nayeon's lips and run inside the hotel, leaving the other woman there, wanting more. 'So cute.' Nayeon said to herself.

Nayeon was about to call a cab when she heard someone's calling her name. "Nayeon unnie? what are you doing here?" "Mina? what are YOU doing here?" Nayeon shared the same confused looks with Mina. "I just had dinner with my girlfriend. She stays here remember? I told you before we parted at the airport?" Mina stated. "You did? haha I'm sorry I didn't keep that in mind." Nayeon laughed, feeling silly. "Aigoo unnie. You're such a grandma. Are you waiting for someone?" Mina asked. "I had a dinner with a friend earlier. She's staying here as well. I was about to call a cab when you called me. I'm heading home to Seoyeon's." Nayeon explained earning an 'ahh okay' from the other girl. "I'm leaving to my hotel so come on. I'll drop you off to Seoyeon unnie's house." Mina offered and Nayeon agreed. The drive was short but the two manage to converse a few stuff. "Why didn't you stay with your girlfriend at the hotel?" Nayeon asked. "I wanted to but too bad I have an early shootings tomorrow. It's sad to admit that I have to sneak out just to see my girlfriend. Still can't make my own decision even I've been in this industry for few years now." Nayeon can hear the sound of disappointment in the younger one's voice and she honestly thinks entertainment industry will never play fair once you get involved in it. "Don't guilt tripping yourself Minari. At least you make an effort to spent time with her rather than not trying at all. I would be grateful if I have a girlfriend like you." Nayeon stated her opinion. "Are you hitting on me, Nayeon-unnie? I hate to break it to you but I'm taken and my girlfriend is hot and smart so no thanks." Mina said smugly . "Pfft don't flatter yourself Minari. I have my eyes on someone already so no thanks to you too." Nayeon stay contented. She didn't want to show her excitement knowing she will be tease. "Woah. How did I miss this?" Mina wears a shock face. "Haha I don't kiss and tell so you'll know when you know okay?" Nayeon teased. Mina's trying to argue but they arrived at Seoyeon's house just in time. "We'll talk later and I'll tell you everything okay? Thanks Minari!" Nayeon bid her goodbye and Mina just smiled and drive her way back to her hotel.
