“ are you going out? ” you heard yerim ask from behind. “ yeah. do you want anything? ” you ask with a smile. you would be like this sometimes.

spoiling the out of yerim because she's the only one who actually treat you like a sister. not that the others don't, but yerim does it better.

“ oo, oo! buy me ice creams! I've been craving for them lately ” yerim told while patting her tummy. you chuckled and proceed to go out.

-

you looked around the frozen aisle for some ice cream to buy like yerim had request. “ yerim loves vanilla, so does chaewon. but yeojin and hyejoo like chocolate. jiwoo and heejin like strawberry tho,,,  ” you look at the three flavors in confusion and conflict. which one you should buy?

“ meh ” in the end, you just threw all three flavors into the basket swinging by your arm. you walk to the counter but made a turn and your feet took you to the breads being display. should i buy some for hyunjin?  you thought and shrugged.

you grabbed some cream breads and croissants and was about to pay when the cheese tarts caught your attention. you stared at them, jungeun and jinsoul like them. so does yerim,,,,

and you just decided to buy everything mentioned above. rich. can't relate. “ what am i doing? ” you thought and felt ridiculous. you let out a hearty scoff and realised that you were only supposed to buy for yerim but ended up buying for the whole house.

the cashier look at you weirdly when you suddenly let out a laugh. you apologies and continue to pay for the foods.

you took the paper bags and make your way out of the mall and to your car. you sighed and placed the bags in the backseat. “ jiyeon? ” someone call out, which startled you. “ sakura? what are you doing here?  ” you turn around and was met with the japanese's pretty face.

you admit, you were a bit shock to see her. you sure she had short hair back then instead of now that she have longer hair. she seemed to change a lot after you guys broke up.

“ oh,,, you know. shopping some stuff ” sakura answered and scratch her beck awkwardly. “ okay. it's nice seeing you ” you told and thought there was no purpose of staying there any longer. the relationship between sakura and you now is basically stranger.

“ wait! can, can we, uhm, meet up tonight? i want to talk with you about something,, ” sakura interrupt you. you cocked an eyebrow, knowing what exactly she want to talk about. you smile, acting along. “ sure. when?  ” you ask, opening the driver door of your car. sakura's face lit up in an instant.

“ uh, how about 8? at the convenience store near our old school. please be there ” sakura plead with her words and eyes that were staring right into yours. you sigh. “ okay, i'll be there ” you told and got into your car.

-

“ yerim! ” you call from the front door. loud thuds were heard before yerim came running to you, almost slipping on her steps. heejin looked at the both of you weirdly. since when yerim is so good to you?

“ go put these in the fridge while put these on the table ” you told and hand her the bags. happiness were visible on her face as she hop to the kitchen with those heavy bags in her hand that you don't god know how that she was be able to hold and she even almost bump into your mom.

“ what did you buy? ” your mom ask, voice sound stern for some reason. you smiled, “ just some stuff yerim want—

“ what stuff? i dont want yerim getting weird stuff from you  ” she cut off which made your eyes widened. you shut your mouth and didn't say anything.

it hurt if you admit it. you're not saying that it's yerim's or the other girls fault but your mom is scolding her real daughter in order to protect her adopted daughters.

“ it's just ice cream and foods, mom. chill ” yerim interrupt before shoving a spoonful of vanilla ice cream into her mouth. you saw how the eyes of your mom soften as she turns to yerim.

it's been awhile since she looked at you like that. heejin lean closer to see the ice cream and look at the younger girl. yerim swallowed the fluffy dessert, “ there's strawberry and chocolate ” and there goes heejin.

“ yerim if you want anything, just ask me,  okay? ” your mom told and yerim just nod while her eyes were already glued on the tv screen. jiwoo came running down the stairs with a frown. “ mom, kimlip trashed my room again! ” she told and seconds later, jungeun came down to protest.

your mom ruffled jiwoo's hair, “ now, now. jungeun probably didn't mean it. you and sooyoung can sleep in jiyeon's room ” your mouth went agap at the sudden words. “ what?! then where am i going to sleep? ” you protest in disbelief. you saw your mom gave you a look that she never once gave to you.

you groan and slap your forehead before grabbing your car key and turn to the door. “ where are you going now? ” you heard your mom's voice. “ meeting up with an old friend ” you answered in a low voice. “ who? ” you ignore her calls and shut the door behind you. by taking a deep breath, you start your walk to the place sakura told you.

on the way, you stumbled upon hyejoo. the black haired girl look up at you with her same blank face. you just walk past her. “ where are you going? ” you heard her but decided to ignore.

-

you walk along the roadside and arrived at the bus stop beside the store. you decide to just sit on the metal bench, sakura would probably recognise you nevertheless. you closed your eyes, taking in the night air. minutes later, you felt someone sitting beside you. you knew it was sakura, evidence by her all too familiar cherry perfume.

you open your eyes and was met with sakura, who was flustered. you sat up right, clearing your throat. “ so, what did you want to talk about? ” you ask, looking straight at her. sakura gulped and took her time. “ i regret it ” she finally spoke. your eyebrow raised up and sakura laugh. damn, you realise how much you miss her laughs.

“ i really regret when i visibly cheated on you and then out of nowhere, broke up with you. and no, i have no relation with Areum. i could tell at that time, you really want to make it all work out but guess i was the one being shitty ” sakura bitterly chuckled. you nod at her words.

it hurt sometime. getting back to the time where you thought you could actually work out the relationship between you and sakura. and now, you knew it actually wasn't so worth it, just like seunghee had told. ( seunghee OMG btw )

“ so, your point? ” you want her to get straight to it. no more delays. “ I'm sorry. for what I've done. and i know I'm late, i could tell. but, I've always love you. if you can, give me a second chance? ” sakura was practically begging. her eyes, words, mind, action and body. every part of her want you back in her life.

“ at that time, i really thought i could change your mind and make it all fine. but, it didn't. nothing work. so, it goes the same for me. you can't change my mind, sakura ” you told. the story behind your words were harsh, stern and bitter but it somehow fit perfectly with your soft voice.

sakura blink but then smile. “ it's fine. i know. i actually expect you to reject me. a bit harsh for me but i deserve it ” the two of you laugh. then silence came in. no one spoke up except the sound of cars passing by the place from time to time.

“ can i,, can i kiss you one last time? ” you shifted at sakura's sudden request and turn to her. her eyes traveled from your eye to your lips multiple time. you smile. “ sure ”

sakura formed a small smile before her lips found itself on yours. it was soft. just like before, you thought and smile through the kiss. sakura was the one to break. she didn't want you to get weird out or feel uncomfortable.

“ thank you ” a soft mumble from sakura. you beam a smile before bidding goodbye and heading back to your house. you walk with relief and great feelings. the feeling of having so much thing that were push down on your shoulder at once, being lifted.

but then, a sigh escape your lips. knowing that you probably have to go back and get scold for ignoring your mom and having to coop up with the looks your new siblings gave is such not a great feeling.
