The Cafe After Ikebana 1 (YxN)

"How are things going with him? Isn't he a little hard to approach, eh?"

"True, but he's not that cold?"

"Really? Good for you, then. Things will go smoothly from now on."

"What do you mean, Unnie?"

"Well, once he open up to someone, he can easily tell you things. Including the things he couldn't share with me about me."

A little paused. "We're not that close yet."

"It's only natural, Nako-ya. Last Sunday was just your second meeting with my boyfriend. Like my second meeting with your boyfriend."

"How about you, Unnie? Does Seungkwan-oppa being good to you?"

"Is that what you're worried about?" Nako nodded. The older girl chuckled. "You two are totally adorable. He just worried about you all the time. He never stops interrogated me about you. Like, why are we being such a close friends in a short time. Why am I good to you. Why this, why that. He's totally being a bodyguard."

Another paused. "He's being more and more protective. Why is he like that?"

"Hmm, he said that he wanted to make sure nobody hurt you. Oh, and he said that many guys approached you with intention to snatch you away from him."

"What?"

"Unbelievable, right? I'll find the real reason sooner or later for you, Nako." Chuckled again. "What about Jihoon-oppa? Did he say something interesting?"

"Hmm, first, I was just curious about something. No hard feeling, okay, Unnie? But I remember Jihoon-sshi looks fine with you bailed on him. Did you do that often?"

"Not often, but I do canceled our date multiple times. I felt bad whenever I did that, really. So, I always need to do something after that to make it up to him. But he never showed his disappointment and strangely that upset me sometimes. I mean, if he's the one doing that, I'll be nagging, but he didn't. He just went, 'okay,' and let that slide."

"Okay." The younger one pondered a bit. "I'll investigate about that. Don't worry, Unnie, we'll find the answers together."

"Oh my holy cheese cracker, you're so adorable." Yena took a sip of her coffee. "What about skinship?"

"I need to apologize to you, Unnie. I didn't know the art exhibition will be held on the 17th floor and I'm scared to be in a room above 11th floor. Jihoon-sshi helped me to calm down and he sort of ... hugged me. And I ... hugged his side, too, because I'm so scared."

A pause. "That's understandable. You have a phobia. Are you alright? I'm sorry because I'm the one who picked the art exhibition."

"It's okay. You don't know about my fear. And Jihoon-sshi  is dependable."

"Oh, I'm getting jealous."

"Oh, Unnie, I'm sorry. Don't be jealous, please."

A laugh this time. "I'm teasing you."

"What about you, Unnie?"

"Oh, I need to apologize to you because I held his wrist and he held mine when each one of us being slow. No more than that."

"It's just wrist. No big deal."

"Are you sure you're alright?"

"Yeah. I'm fine. It's bound to happened anyway in an amusement park."

"Sorry."

"Oh my God, Unnie." Laughs. "It's okay. That happened. Let's move on and talk about our next plan, shall we?"

"Yes, let's do that." Another short pause. "Oh, I need to know more about you, too, Nako-ya. Do you mind sharing something about you? So I can know you better?"

A smile. "No, I don't mind. I need to know more about you, too, Unnie. Let's know more about each other."
