The ice cream parlour

Six.

The next day after the concert, the duo were still asleep at 11am.

"Hmm... I'm still tired," Ryujin groaned, curling into a ball under the blanket.

"Stop taking all the blanket! This is my house so stop it," Chaeryeong murmured and tugged the blanket to her.

"Just come closer to me," Ryujin resorted and grabbed around blindly. She caught hold of the sleeve of Chaeryeong's floral pyjamas and pulled her closer. The younger girl whined but rolled closer to Ryujin so that she could be completely covered by the blanket.

"We should wake up soon," Chaeryeong mumbled.

"No..." Ryujin sighed. Chaeryeong forced her eyes open and her eyes widened when she saw how close Ryujin was to her. Their faces were only a few centimetres away from each other and Chaeryeong could have kissed her if she was pushed lightly from the back.

"Ryuddaeng, wake up. Let's go get your favourite mocha bread," Chaeryeong said, rubbing her eyes and shaking the older's shoulders.

Ryujin's eyes snapped open and she sat up. Chaeryeong laughed before rushing into the bathroom. Ryujin groaned but barged in to use the toilet while the younger girl brushed her teeth.

Finally, they were done washing up and they trudged to the café a few blocks down. It was a little cold but Ryujin refused to bring a coat or a jacket. Chaeryeong was busy laughing at her while still putting an arm around her in hope of keeping her warm.

They entered the café and Chaeryeong went to look for a seat while Ryujin queued up.

Chaeryeong picked a two seater at the corner of the café next to the window. She sighed and looked around, taking in the comforting atmosphere.

"I'm back," Ryujin announced and placed the tray down. She brought back one mocha bread and a cup of english tea for herself and two muffins, banana and blueberry and a cup of coffee for Chaeryeong.

"Thank you," Chaeryeong said and pulled the plate to her.

They ate in silence for awhile and Chaeryeong noticed how awkward Ryujin was.

"Ryu, are you okay?" Chaeryeong asked.

"Y-yes!" Ryujin exclaimed. The younger girl raised a brow. She sighed. "So... I think I may like someone now," The older girl confessed.

Chaeryeong bit her lip.

But it could be you. After all, she had been spending two months together.

"I see her quite frequently and she's really pretty. And... i'm quite scared to confess to her," Ryujin said, stuffing a piece of bread into her mouth.

It does sound like me...

Chaeryeong smiled a little. "Who is it?" she asked.

Ryujin laughed awkwardly. "It's umm... Hwang Yeji from school," she blushed and looked down.

Chaeryeong's face fell. "Oh... well, good luck with her then," she replied with a smile. "Finally getting your act together," she added cheekily.

"Stop teasing me!" Ryujin pouted and faked anger.

When both girls finally arrived back home, Ryujin took out the food to prepare their late lunch while Chaeryeong decided to go into her study room (aka the second bedroom without a bed) and locked the door.

She turned on her laptop and plugged in her earphones.

"I don't like Ryujin. It's not a crush. I'm only jealous because she's my best friend," Chaeryeong mumbled, grabbing her journal and pulling her stationary to her. However, when she flipped to a fresh page of her journal, she spotted her latest spread on the on and only Shin Ryujin.
