The sun isn't even up yet when Yena woke up. She's pretty sure she stayed up all night thinking of all these questions she want to ask to Yuri.
"I hate Novembers," Yena rolled her eyes as she picks up the thickest coat she owns. With a couple more touch here and there, she's finally ready to go out and meet Yuri.
"You going somewhere?" Her mom asks as she holds Yena's arm to stop the girl from rushing out of the house.
"Uhm, school?" Yena said with an obvious tone as she raises her eyebrows up.
"You don't dress like that when going to school," her mom chuckles as she smoothen Yena's hair down. "I've been there so I know, good luck."
Yena just nods, a smile on her face clearly evident that her mom's words are true.
"Uhm, mom," Yena said as she tilts her head. "Do I look like Joker when I smile?"
Her mom just let out a sweet laughter as she pinch her daughter's cheek, "you look lovely,"

"Where's your skateboard?" Yuri asked as soon as she locks eyes with Yena; and the older girl is certain that Yuri scanned her from head to toe.
Yena just scratched her head as she shrugs. "I forgot,"
Yuri narrowed her eyes, "just tell the truth,"
"Okay, okay. It's because you are such a slow walker.." Yena said, biting her in a smile.
Yuri just chuckled as she comes closer to Yena. It's still early, so they took their time walking while admiring simple things; like how the colors of the sunrise drown the sky with an orange hue.
"So," Yena starts as Yuri smiles.
"So," Yuri repeats as she swing her arms side by side.
"I never knew you have a sister," Yena said as she looks at Yuri with much focus, like she's studying her.
"Yeah, cause she's dead." Yuri softly said, sounding like it's totally normal; fine.
"Excuse me? I," Yena said she felt her heart skip. "I'm sorry."
"Shut up, it's okay." Yuri said as she tighten the strap of her backpack. "All of us will die at some point anyway. Plus, I already accepted her death." Yuri said as she kicks the stone on the road, its debris flowing with the air for a brief moment before falling again.
"So," Yena said again, clearing her voice this time; desperate to change the topic. "have you ever been in a relationship?" Yena asked as a faint blush of red covers her cheeks.
"Relationships?" Yuri said as she hums a no. "relationships aren't my thing." She added.
Hearing this made Yena feel something; something like- disappointment or sadness. But really, what was she expecting?
"Why?" Yena asked, trying to hide her curiosity.
"It's just falling inlove or getting into relationships are a hassle, so if I never get into one, then I'll avoid the stress of falling out of it." Yuri said as she looks at Yena. "What about you?"
Yena just gulped before looking away from Yuri. "I don't know, I guess it won't hurt until you try,"
"Then I won't try, for me not to get hurt," Yuri reprimanded.
"You won't," Yena said without thinking. And as soon as she realized the words that slipped out from her lips, she froze.
With that, Yuri just chuckles her nose crinckles as she does so. "We'll see." She smirks before walking past Yena to go to her room.

"What is happening to you, Choi?" Hyewon asked as soon as Yena's body came in contact with the other girl. "You didn't even answer my calls,"
Yena looks at her notebook and not on her friend's eyes, because she knows she'll spill everything when she do so.
"You were calling? I didn't know. Maybe my mom's on the landline all night.." Yena reasoned out as Hyewon's forehead wrinkled.
She was about to say something to Yena when their teacher came, which made Yena thankful; for the first time.
For the whole lesson, Yena knew that she's physically there- but her mind is flying somewhere else.
She couldn't stop thinking about Yuri's perception of relationships and falling inlove, or she couldn't just understand the girl at all.
"I want to change that," Yena suddenly said, out loud, her eyes still glued to the window.
"What Ms.Choi?" Their teacher said as he caught Yena red handed.
Yuri's thinking of relationships; falling inlove.
"Our lesson," Yena absently minded said as she squints her eyes, like she caught something or someone at their school's field.
"Why? It's Romeo and Juliet,"
"Yeah, it sucks."
