Girl Who Cried Wolf

Insecure

"Don't you think you've had enough to drink?" Sowon looked at all the bottles on the table where Eunha was sitting.

"Are you gonna sit here and judge me too?" Eunha rolled her eyes.

"Don't be like that. I'm only looking out for you. You should go to bed, sleep it off. I promise you tomorrow will be a better day."

"Don't promise me anything." Eunha reached for the bottle next to her but Sowon grabbed it before she could get to it.

"Seriously, go to bed. I'm not letting you drink any more."

"Fuck you." Eunha mumbled.

"Get your ass up and go to bed." Sowon grabbed her by the arm and lifted her up off the floor.

"Don't touch me!" She pulled her arm away.

"This is exactly why I don't like you drinking this much. You act like a totally different person." Sowon sighed. She knew it was going to be a long night of trying to get Eunha to go to bed.

"Sometimes I need a drink. Sometimes I need to be human." Eunha stumbled as she walked to the stairs.

"Sometimes you need to listen to me and stop acting like a child." Sowon picked her up and carried her up the stairs so she wouldn't fall trying to get up them on her own.

"I love you." Eunha smiled as Sowon tucked her in and made sure she was comfy.

"Yeah, yeah. Now shut up and go to sleep." Sowon looked back at Eunha and smiled before she turned the light off.

"Eunbi!" Yerin waved from across the hall.

"It's so good to talk to you at school again. The days were so boring and dragged on when you weren't talking to me."

"I'm glad you enjoy talking to me so much." Yerin smirked and nudged her. "So what do you think about Yuju and Umji?" She suddenly asked.

"What do you mean?"

"Look at them. They clearly like each other. So who do you think will make the first move?"

"I don't know, they just seem like really good friends. Besides, Yuju still isn't over you yet, and Umji just got through a breakup so I'm sure she's not ready. But if they did like each other, then I think Yuju would definitely make the first move by accidentally confessing to her. You know both of them would never confess to each other unless one of them accidentally slipped up, they're both too awkward for that." Eunbi smiled at the two who were playing with each other in the cafeteria.

"They look like really good friends, but you can tell Umji has got a thing going for her. Yuju doesn't really look like she's interested in her in an intimate way, but you can tell Umji likes her. I think it's cute."

"Well now that I think about it, Umji has been kind of awkward around her. I just feel bad because Yuju obviously isn't ready to date someone else yet, she's still a bit hung up on you. I think she will realize her feelings for Umji soon, but we have to wait. They would make a cute couple though." Eunbi had to agree with Yerin. There was just something about the two that made them look good together.

"Yuju is oblivious sometimes. I don't know why she still likes me if she knows I'm never going to feel the same way. It's obvious that I'm totally in love with you." Yerin smiled at Eunbi.

"You were the first person she dated, it's going to take some time for that wound to heal. Yuju is...she's a bit sensitive if you didn't notice. It seems like she doesn't really care about things, but she's just not very good at showing emotions. She's usually just in her own world and doesn't pay attention to everything."

"I still love Yuju, just not like I love you. She's my best friend."

"That is exactly how I feel about Umji. I don't know why I tried to make our relationship work when I was fully aware that I didn't feel the same way as her. I only hurt her in the end by leading her on." Eunbi frowned. She was finally coming to terms that she was wrong and shouldn't have treated Umji like that.

"Everyone makes mistakes. So did you hear Eunha is coming back to this school? Linzy is going to be so happy about her being back with the tennis team." Yerin smiled just thinking about it.

"I heard she moved in with Sowon. That must be exciting for both of them."

"Yeah, but her and her mom got in a huge fight. Sowon said that her mother slapped her."

"Eunha's mom is such a bitch. Like why can't you just be happy that your daughter is with the person that makes her happy, even if that person is a girl."

"That's just how some homophobic people are. It's sad that Eunha had to grow up with that much hate surrounding her. That's probably why she's insecure."

"What do you mean insecure?"

"Yuju never told anyone but me this, but awhile ago Eunha admitted to hating herself for being a lesbian. I don't blame her, if my mother treated me like that for being gay then I'd be ashamed to be gay too. It's her mother's fault. You don't ever treat a child like that, but her mother obviously doesn't know how to raise a child. She's lucky she has a great father. I have so much respect for that man."

"Does Sowon know about this?"

"Of course not. Eunha doesn't tell Sowon about the way she feels, and it's because Sowon will just tell her to get over it so that's why she always vents to Yuju. That's the problem with their relationship. Sowon was raised to just get over stuff and not feel emotions, but Eunha grew up in a house that made her feel insecure and now that she's older she wants to release all these trapped emotions, but she can't with Sowon because Sowon will quite literally tell her to ignore it or get over it. Yuju is the one and only person Eunha will talk to about her feelings, it's quite sad."

"That makes sense now that you say it. I never hear Eunha venting to Sowon or us."

"Yeah well at least she's got Yuju to vent to. They're great friends, so that's good."
