Yuri woke up some when in the morning and found herself being covered by a blanket. She jumped up looking to her right just to see an empty bed. Yuri checked the clock on the night table and scratched her head. It was ten in the morning, no wonder the girl was up already.
She had worked through the entire night and fell asleep on the desk some when she couldn't remember. The girl certainly saw her sitting there sleeping when she woke up and covered her with the blanket. Definitely a bonus she got from Yuri for that action.
Yuri walked out of the room but didn't saw the girl anywhere. She headed to the bathroom to freshen up and began to wonder why she even wondered where the girl was. Then she remembered last night again; how the girl slept, holding tightly onto her, how she silently cried, how hurtful her expression was and just how fragile she looked like right that moment.
Lost in her thoughts, Yuri walked into the kitchen and noticed the fruit plate was almost empty. She grabbed the last apple on the plate as she imagined how the girl was desperate in the kitchen making breakfast. Eventually, the girl most likely had to eat things she "didn't need to cook", that were apples and bananas, again. Yuri let out a chuckle - she didn't know why she found it that amusing.
But after a while, she decided to stand up looking for the girl.
"Hey--"
It wasn't until then that Yuri remembered she didn't even know her name. Checking for the girl's shoes, Yuri knew the girl didn't leave the house. But where could she possibly be? The house had only one floor with that living room in the middle, a bedroom, a kitchen, a bathroom around and the balcony on the other side.
"The balcony..."
Yuri made her way to the said place, believing to see the girl there. She opened up the glass slide door and looked out. The sight in front of her made her stunned for a second. She realized again how beautiful nature could be - it was mesmerizing. She didn't know about that little burbling stream behind the house. Yuri swore she even saw a fish in the water briefly. The tall trees around gave the atmosphere a comfortable freshness and could certainly bring a smile on any moody person's face. She started to feel thankful to Sooyoung for making her agree on taking this vacation. If only she was with someone she knew, or even better alone, and not having to share the house with a completely strange girl.
"Oh my god!"
Speaking of the evil, Yuri saw her. But against her imagination, the girl wasn't just standing there with that constantly confused expression on her face but was lying unconsciously on the ground with no expression at all.
"Hey! Are you alright?!"
Yuri bent down slapping the girl lightly on the cheek, but nothing happened. The girl kept on being totally motionless.
"Don't scare me."
Yuri, for the third time since they met each other, picked the girl up with her arms and carried her in. She struggled through the door, trying her best to not hurt that person in her arms. In the end, Yuri's head banged on the glass in attempt to press her back against the doorway to get enough space for the other body.
As she put a wry face on, she felt the girl stirring in her arms. Yuri immediately quickened her space walking towards the couch.
"Please... food... I'm... starving..."
She heard the girl whispering weakly in semi-consciousness. Biting on her lower lip, Yuri felt guilt rushing through her heart. It was her fault. The girl didn't know how to cook and all Yuri did was telling her to eat apples.
"I'm sorry. I'll cook for you."
She laid the girl down and gently stroked her hair before standing up, frozen.
