Save Me

Mine

Jeongyeon and Nayeon left the cafe an hour after spending some time there. Nayeon can't stop drooling over the beautiful cafe saying she would love to open one of her own one day. "Still can't get over the cafe? You look like you're in love. Come on you can visit whenever you're free right?" Jeongyeon probe a question. "In love is a strong word Yoo Jeongyeon. It's fascinating is all. There's something about the concept that suits my taste. The owner must be very interesting. Maybe I should come by once or twice after this. See whether I can bump into them." Nayeon grinned. "Wha-hey. Trying your luck on the owner now huh?" Jeongyeon smirked. "Well, who knows when will I ever manage to open a cafe of my own. Might as well hitting on the owner & marry him/her so I got an instant cafe instead." Nayeon's blunt statement earned a playful slap on her arm. Nayeon pretended that it hurt but truth was she was liking the moment too much whenever she got to tease Jeongyeon even though Nayeon knew those pouts and smiles will be the death of her. "Well if that's the case, I'll support you then. So I could get the shares by adult-napping you after that." Jeongyeon teased back. "Adult-napping?" Nayeon asked confused. "Like kidnapping but for adult instead." Nayeon can't help but laugh at the sentence. "Your mind is so interesting Jeong." Nayeon laughed while pinching Jeongyeon's nose bridge. Jeongyeon never felt so loved.

The two was walking around a garden not far from the cafe. The thought of separating doesn't come close to their mind. "Jeong can I ask you a question?" Jeongyeon can hear the hesitation in Nayeon's voice, so she decided to lighten up the air between them. "Sure. One dollar, one question. Pay first." Jeongyeon extending her palm towards Nayeon. Nayeon mouth hangs open and she can see that the taller girl was smirking means she's trying to mess with her, so she decided to play along. "Here ten bucks." Nayeon spontaneously slip her hand into her long coat pocket and slap ten dollar bill on Jeongyeon's palm. Jeongyeon didn't expect Nayeon would respond that way but she was fast enough to grip the crumpled dollar with Nayeon's hand on top of it. Both of them looked at their joined hands. Jeongyeon was quick to make the situation not so awkward, so she move her head gazing towards the sky like she was enjoying the view. Nayeon, on the other hand still staring at their hands, smiling like a kid who had just found a lost candy on the ground. Get a grip Nayeonie. Nayeon told herself. "Anyways, I get ten questions now, brace yourself." Nayeon move her sight towards Jeongyeon who's still so much into the view. "Huh what excuse me?" Jeongyeon snapped from her thoughts. "Um my questions? I paid ten bucks okay. That's expensive." Nayeon whines. "Oh ya lol. I thought you're not gonna start. Since you know, you seems 'occupied' looking at our hands. You look adorable. I may looked like I'm not looking but trust me, I've captured those mushy cheeks image in my memory now. Do that more often okay?" If Nayeon could scream her lungs out that moment without looking like a maniac, she would've done that. But instead, she managed to keep herself still, only staring at Jeongyeon smiley face with her face blushing like her cheeks gonna pop. "Did you sweet talking every girls you held hand with?" Nayeon teased. "Not all. Only the beautiful one. Specifically the one with squishy cheeks, soft palms and.. kissable lips. THE only one I've ever held hand with. I don't know if you know her but she's pretty cool." Jeongyeon blurted out. Nayeon can feel the blood surging up to her face and it's suddenly so hot even though the weather is breezy. "You're too sweet for me to handle. I might get diabetes on how sugary that was." Nayeon replied in a state of calm and contented. "You'll be fine. Get use to it. More to come." Jeongyeon said with a smug plastered on her face. Nayeon can help but smile.

Both women enjoying each other's company with a couple of talks about things going on in each other's life. Nayeon surprisingly showing no sign of shock when Jeongyeon mentioned the prank that her dad pulled on her. All Nayeon did was laugh and said 'Your dad sounds cool'. Jeongyeon sneered hearing that and muttered 'Unbelievable'. They continue updating stuff that happen, even surroundings get to be one of the topics but then, Jeongyeon next question hit Nayeon unprepared. "Nayeon? Why didn't you call me after you got back?" Jeongyeon asked, looking at her feet. To be honest that was the question Nayeon wanted to aim when she paid the ten dollar to Jeongyeon. She thinks maybe if she asked Jeongyeon first, she wouldn't have to answer it herself. "I- I don't know Jeong. I wanted to, so bad to call you but I was waiting for you to call or text me first but my unfortunate self didn't received any. Don't feel bad though I'm okay now. So I thought maybe I was just a fling to you while you were there? The thought of you might have someone here even though you said you're not dating anyone at the moment..it gives a little pang in here." Nayeon pointed to her chest. "Please don't freak out or run after hearing this," Nayeon grip Jeongyeon's arm, "but I-I think I li-like yo-you. A lot. I can't stop thinking about you, Jeong. I was talking to my cousin earlier about this and she forced me to call you which, I still didn't. I mean, I was planning to but then I'm holding the intention back. I was so nervous and thought maybe I could use some walk and probably get an ice cream that's why I headed to the mall. But then I saw you, alone, standing there outside the store, so I thought maybe it's a sign from god that He wanted me to just get over my doubt and approach you? I don't know, I didn't even think that much. All I knew was I need to see you. And here I am with you, finally with you." Nayeon blurted out whatever she had stored inside her mind and heart. It feels like a loss of a big ass burden after confessing. Jeongyeon still didn't say anything and Nayeon is panicking. 'Calm down Nayeon, she's trying to process everything, calm down.' Nayeon convince herself so her panic self doesn't show. Nayeon became even more nervous when Jeongyeon slowly withdraw her hand from Nayeon's grip, still not looking at the beauty in front of her. "Jeongyeon, say something." Nayeon pleads, holding back the single tear that threaten to escape. Jeongyeon suddenly look up when she realized it was too silent between them. "Hey..no no no why are you crying?" Jeongyeon who was half seated on a waist-level brick wall previously immediately stands on her feet. She cupped Nayeon's face with her hands and wipe the tears away. "I-I'm so-sorry. I di-didn't me-mean to cry. I'm a ner-nervous wreck a-and you di-didn't answer. I-I'm so-sorry." Nayeon said through the sniffles. "Awh bunny. Come here." Jeongyeon smiles and embrace Nayeon, patting the other girl's back. Nayeon hides her face in Jeongyeon's neck. "I'm so-," "Stop apologizing. Why are you sorry for? Crying?" Jeongyeon cut off Nayeon apology. Jeongyeon can't help but chuckle. "Calm down I'm not gonna run. I'm still here aren't I?" Nayeon nodded and stop crying. Only sniffles were heard. Jeongyeon holds Nayeon's shoulders, moving the girl a step back to face her. "Nayeon, listen. I'm sorry I didn't show any reaction or respond towards your confession. I was just blurred. I never had anyone confess to me with a pure confession like that. Well, no I actually had quite a few from my dad's employees but never mind." Nayeon playfully slapped Jeongyeon's arm. "I'm kidding I'm kidding. You're so adorable. Can I key-chained you and put you in my pocket?" Jeongyeon continue teasing, winning a giggles from Nayeon. "Ah. There it is. The smile that I would trade the moon for. World's too cliche so I'll go with the moon although it isn't mine." Jeongyeon loose her holds off Nayeon's shoulder. "Stop being so chessy." Nayeon said, attempting to hide her embarrassment for crying earlier. "Hey. Look at me. Don't look down. Don't feel embarrassed for crying okay? I know it's a first for me seeing you cry but please don't cry again. It hurts seeing you cry. Will you give me a chance to never make you cry?" Jeongyeon holds Nayeon's hand. "What do you mean?" Nayeon asked, puzzled. Jeongyeon released Nayeon's hands and cupped the girls face. Nayeon didn't have the chance to react when Jeongyeon lips pressed to hers.

Nayeon gasped for a second but eased into the kiss as soon as she realize what happen. Nayeon reciprocate the kiss with the same pressure. It was different. It was an assurance from Jeongyeon. The two close their eyes feeling each other's warmth. They didn't care where they were at on that moment. All they know was they will never had enough of each other. Jeongyeon deepened the kiss. She angled her head, taking more of Nayeon. Nayeon's legs go weak and she melted into the kiss. She gripped Jeongyeon waist earning a growl from the blonde. Nayeon laugh against Jeongyeon's lips, causing them to parted. "Okay let's stop before you turn into a lion." Nayeon told the other girl, still chuckling over the growl earlier. Jeongyeon pecks Nayeon's lips and grins. She slowly wrapped her arms around Nayeon's waist and Nayeon did the same. "Be my girlfriend? Nayeon, I promise you all the happiness in the world. I'm not good with love lines but one thing I'm sure of of saying is that I want you." That's the purest love line that Nayeon ever heard in her life and right at that moment, she never felt so happy and bless to meet Yoo Jeongyeon. "Yes. I would love to be your girlfriend." This time Nayeon was the one who pecks Jeongyeon on the lips. They smile towards one another, settling their embrace into each other's arms, comfortably.
