Chapter 17

MOON BYULYI

Byul was half expecting that Yongsun will gay panic, but she's also half-wishing that she doesn't. She liked the way she feels Yongsun's body in her hands, so warm, and so delicate. She rested her head on Yongsun's neck and she swears she can hear Yongsun's frantically pumping pulse.

She sighed. Maybe this is too much for Yong.

She fully removed the hold she had on the older girl but her head remained rested to Yongsun's neck.

"I like you, Yong." She whispers. "I like you."

Yongsun's body tenses. "What?"

"I like you. More than a friend, more than a sister. I like you. I like you very much."

She felt hands cup her face and pull up to look into Yongsun's burning gaze.

"Since when?" Yongsun asks Byul.

Byul suddenly realized that Yongsun did not budge from their position. She still sat on top of Byul's thighs, and this caused Byul's face to heat up. She quietly hoped that her bangs covered her face enough to hide the blush that crept up her face.

"I don't know. But I can say it's been going on for a while." Byul answered.

Yongsun sighs. She rested her forehead on Byul's, similar to their position earlier.

"I think... I... I think I'm starting to like you too, Byul." Yongsun whispers. It was so quiet that Byul almost missed it.

"What?" Byul asked, completely dumbfounded with Yongsun's confession.

"I think I'm starting to like you." Yongsun said again. "I think it started when you spent the night in my house to help me pack. The morning after that, well," Yongsun nestled her face on Byul's neck, probably to hide her embarrassment. "I guess I liked the image of your morning face more than I like. I liked the way I get to have you in my arms all night, then wake up to your face the next day."

Byul's eyes started to water. She felt overwhelmed by the fact that Yongsun liked her back the way she does. She wrapped her arms around Yongsun's waist and kissed the older's girl's cheeks.

"What are we going to do now, unnie?" she asks. "The debut is already near. And the girls... oh my god, Wheein and Hyejin!" Byul panics.

She felt Yongsun's soothing hand run down her back. Byul immediately felt calm with the action.

"We're going to talk about it with them. And with the CEO too..." Yongsun sighed. "Mr. Lim has been nothing but supportive with us. I think he'll have an open mind with this. But if anything, Byul," Yongsun pushed her a bit to look into her eyes. "Just know that I'm strong enough to withstand a lot of things, and I'm only going to be stronger with you. If you need someone to lean on, I'm here okay?"
