Chapter 25

" Unnie, how are things with JiU ? "

" No progress. "

" And no progress because ? "

" She needs time to recover in every aspect and I want to respect that. "

" Unnie, how many times has she rejected you ? "

" 3. "

" Why aren't you moving on ? It's been so long, and I think you should give up. "

" Why ? I don't think I will find anyone as special as JiU. "

" Unnie, snap out of it, she can't even handle herself, she's not stable. "

" Lucy, I know Lua isn't like JiU, but I have my reasons alright ? I just know she's the one for me like how you knew Lua was the one for you. "

" You sure about this ? It's very unhealthy to be in a one sided type of thing for a long time, and I'm not talking about two years, I'm talking about 7 ! "

" Lucy, I know it might look like false hope, but there really isn't anyone else like JiU. "

" Okay unnie. Anyways, it's mine and Lua's anniversary soon and I want to get her a gift. What should I get ? "

" Woah, congrats, how long has it been ? "

" About 2 years. "

" That's crazy. How about a pouch ? "

" What ? Why ? "

" So she can organise the things in her bag. Oh get her a paper organiser as well, her table needs some serious cleaning. " 

" That isn't romantic at all. "

" Then maybe a neck pillow ? She doesn't usually get a lot of sleep, so maybe a pillow can remind her to sleep ? "

" Okay thanks unnie, I have a few ideas already thanks to you. "

" You welcome. Oh, I also need you to do me a favour. "

" What is it ? "

" In the morning, I have work and I can't take care of JiU, so I need you guys to keep her company and lessen her burden. I just need to make sure she is alright. "

" You sure she won't find that offensive ? "

" No, of all people, she needs it, for this matter, I wouldn't care if she's offended or not. "

" Okay unnie. "

Meanwhile, in the cafe, Lua and JiU continued chatting.

" It can't be, I know how I feel when I like someone. "

" JiU, it's been years, people change, feelings change. "

" I know but, it's Yoohyeon we're talking about. "

" And ? "

" She's out of my league, she's literally perfection and someone like me can never match up to her. I know what I'm feeling, she's just a friend. "

" You're living in denial, and when the day comes, and you finally realise that you're in love with her, congratulations for taking 7 long years. "

" Yoohyeon, sigh, why would she even want me ? "

" Because, in my opinion, as a friend, you're really caring and you have good intentions just that you're not good with the " putting it in action " part. Everyone else's needs is always before yours and you literally don't want others to worry about you. "
