Unexpected Romance | Yejisu FF

Chapter 7

A tinge of crimson and vermilion washed over and across the sky, as the sun sets down upon the busy streets of New York. Soon its city lights will make its nightly glimmers, making the city alot more lively than it already is.

Yeji decided to explore New York for the first time since nineteen-forty-six, after being left alone in her apartment— well, Jisu-less. She's not technically alone since Chaeryeong managed to puppy eyes herself into making Yeji agree to her on staying on the apartment. Yet even with the company, coming in a form of Chaeryeong. She still considered herself lonely.

Yeji calmly walked on the brightly illuminated street, with her hands on her pocket. Compared to the time she first walked here, the streets wasn't as brightly lit. Now, it's much better than way back then. Coincidentally, well not really since Yeji deliberately took the route of the same exact street her late friend tragically died.

Looking to see if she have some goons, or some person who's dumb enough to commit a crime in front of her, to punish or more like brutally kill them.

The scenery and the whole aesthetic of the street may have changed, but the feel and her memory of the street still linger deep within her mind.

She sighed, as a sorrowful surge of memory run through her conscience. Just the blurry image of her late friend's lifeless body toppling and ragdolling as soon as it made contact to the cold hard pavement made Yeji stopped on her tracks.

That moment haunted, she wondered if she could've at least done something to minimize the effect.

But through all the scenarios she's made in her mind. All outcomes lead to something that had a much smaller significance to change the effect of her late friends fate.

Yeji closed her eyes, sighing once again before restarting her walks. She has been quiet lonely since she woke up a week and a half ago. Every humans that she have come across so far are either bland, boring or outright just not fun to hangout with. All the the other things in the city is amusing, but the longer she got to see them and interact with them. The more the total joy she had, slowly disappear.

Now that she thought about it, the only human that made her feel alive and genuinely be at joy, was Jason and Jisu, and coincidentally both are not with her. Well Jisu is with her, but Yeji has a bit of a Ryujin problem.

When Jisu left this morning, Ryujin and Yeji actually met each other after their not so good encounter in the silver city. And of course Ryujin never missed the opportunity to rub in her so called victory between their rivalry.

Yeji, of course took offense because of Ryujin's cocky expression.

As she walked down the streets, she drove deep into her thoughts, thinking on what she would do now that the only person that made her feel genuine joy is taken away from her. She thought of many things, hence why she explored New York.

But none of what she did helped to quench her thirst for some unknown emotion she just felt, and this emotion only triggers when Jisu is around.

She can't quite get to a conclusion of this emotion that is bubbling up inside her, she can't understand it.

But to her, she took it as just a normal feeling, like a huge surge of adrenaline rushing through her veins. At least that's how she explains it. At some point she even contemplated on having Chaeryeong council her. She wanted to ask Chaeryeong what this emotion she's feeling is.

She never felt it ever in her existence, the only emotions she felt was happiness, sadness, guilt, anger, hatred and now this unknown emotion that she's yet to know of.

But whatever this emotion was, Yeji liked it, she longed to feel more of this unknown emotion. She have tried it with many people, even with Chaeryeong. But it seem to trigger only when Jisu is around her.
