Oneshot
A spacious apartment, it was fully furnished but gives off an empty feeling. An Yujin is a delicate young girl: she's not mentally strong, she finds emotions are hard to convert into words and she feels them more vividly than some people. From the moment An Yujin stepped in, her stomach was rumbling with all kind of emotions. Wandering around inside the apartment, the corners of her mouth curved up unconsciously once in a while but then they were pushed down right after when she realized that all the images kept appearing right in front of her were just phantasm.
"I'm not even crying anymore". An Yujin muttered.
"That's because you've grown, Daengdaeng."
A voice suddenly came from behind Yujin. She turned right around. It was one of her closest members while she was in IZ*ONE – Kang Hyewon. Yujin ran right toward Hyewon's immediately, hugged her tightly as she fear that Hyewon would disappear in a blink.
"It has been years! Unnie what are you doing here? Aren't you busy filming right now?" An Yujin jumped for joy while grabbing Hyewon's arm.
"Our Daengdaeng", Hyewon sweetly called out Yujin's nickname, "I tried my best and finished early to meet all of you."
"All of you?" Just right after Kang Hyewon said the word, Yujin confused. However, deeply somewhere in her heart, she held a small glimmer of hope: she was hoping what Hyewon said was true, that she didn't misheard, that all the members were gathering after such a long time.
"You mean..."
"Can you believe this? Sakura, Nako and Hitomi were almost got lost! If it wasn't for that nice old lady, I think they would be standing at Busan right now!" – Lee Chaeyeon was being noisy while walking in.
Chaeyeon filled the room with her unique laughter as the three told her off. Miyawaki Sakura, Yabuki Nako and Honda Hitomi re-scheduled and traveled hours just to be here and meet the others. Yujin turned her head slightly to the right to bring those four into her sight. She smiled brightly as soon as she saw them. She was going to call out to one of them but another familiar voice cut in.
"I wonder whether you will also give me that sugary smile when you see me."
As she swayed her body in every direction, trying to find where was the voice came from; Hyewon tapped Yujin's shoulder and stepped aside. Kwon Eunbi appeared.
"You..." Yujin stuttered in shock; her eyes were all on Eunbi.
"Hmm? I'm... What?" Eunbi gave a devilish grin; her deep dark eyes sparkled with cheekiness when gazing at up at the person a head taller than her.
"You... You're here."
Eunbi walked circles around Yujin; she flicked a glance at the taller girl from head to toes and gave Yujin the biggest mischievous smirk ever. Eunbi took two steps toward closer to her junior; their noses were just inches away. Yujin was suffocating. Her pulses were racing, her tongue went dry and her head went blank. The only things she could clearly feel were the burning heat of her face and the erratic beating of her heart.
Two steps back-off with a deep breathe, An Yujin was pretty much alive and kicking.
"There are things that will never change, huh. Going around and poking the youngster. If this doesn't describe our Kwon Eunbi, I don't know what else." – Jo Yuri chipped in.
"Eunbi unnie!" Choi Yena raised her voice "This is why you are still single!"
"... Why?" – Sakura and Hitomi said in unison. Without notice, the two looked right at each other in the eyes; they seemed to connecting in silence.
"I'll let Daengdaeng guess why." Eunbi put on an innocent look, suddenly made Yujin the center of attention.
"Okay. Let's stop now guys. Stop teasing our sensitive puppy." – Jang Wonyoung erected an invisible wall, protecting Yujin.
"I was going to avoid that subject. How can you brought that up so casually just right after five minutes we met?!" – Nako nagged at the insensitive girls.
The room was suddenly filled with many giggles. It was a surprise. It was indeed an overjoyed surprise that brought Yujin in tears. Yujin looked around in happiness; she almost broke her neck just for spinning her head with so much power. She was exciting and then became a child all over again. All of them were there and each gave her a warm smile. IZ*ONE were there. An Yujin could feel her hot tears' flow running on her cheeks.
"But Yujin ah... We must go right away. We have to keep up with our schedule." – Kim Chaewon spoke up.
"We're sorry. We'll meet again like this soon." – Kim Minju comforted her dearest junior.
"Unnie... Don't cry. I'm the smallest but I don't even cry!" – Jang Wonyoung teased her senior while trying her best not to shed a single drop of tear.
"We'll be going then. You're doing great, Yujin ah! Keep going and do your best! We will always support you!" – Lee Chaeyeon screamed while holding Sakura's hand, walking out of the apartment. Sakura
They were all gone. Yujin was the only one left in the spacious room. She was all alone. That was what she thought to herself.
"Yujinie"
It was Kwon Eunbi's voice.
"Since they all have gone now. Do you have something to say to me?"'
Yujin knew exactly what Eunbi was pointing at. Eunbi knew exactly what herself was getting into. They knew exactly where that was going end up. It's just, An Yujin and Kwon Eunbi had kept it inside for so long so to unlock the secret chamber, it took tons of courage. The thing is it had been years, An Yujin should have been able to spill it out bluntly; but she paused. Somehow her feelings were still the exact same as back then, they were so lively, like a living flame, burning her inside out, her whole-body.
Yujin was feeling dizzy once more; she stepped two steps back and fell on a couch. Kwon Eunbi rushed into Yujin's side, sat wobbly on her lap, and wrapped her arms around Yujin's neck, laughing hysterically saying, "Looks like I'm gonna fall."
"What?"
Without any thoughts, her left arm slid under a pair of thighs, her right arms glided behind a familiar back; Yujin tugged Eunbi in up-close. Their faces were so near, near to each other. When sitting on Yujin's lap, Eunbi was slightly taller than her. The sight for both of them was rare, because normally the one who had to look up at the opposite person was Eunbi. Eunbi liked it; her legs were swinging playfully, kick Yujin's leg with the back of her feet.
"So! You had something to say to me?"
"You... You're heavy." – Yujin swallowed her fluster.
"You're too tall"
"It's because you're too short"
"You're like a humongous dog."
"Is that a compliment?" – Yujin hesitated.
"A cute giant puppy" – Eunbi narrowed her eyes to slits, secretly giving the giant puppy an intense gaze.
"... And you're pretty?" – Yujin's lips curved in a slow smile.
"I like your blushing dimples right now" – Eunbi kept attacking.
"I like your honest ears right now" – Yujin tucked a strand of hair behind a bright red ear; she could feel the hotness when her hand caressed it.
"Years ago, at the starting line, I knew I shouldn't butー"
A dainty thin finger pressed against the talking lips, sending a hidden message. An Yujin perceived warm and erratic gasps from the startled girl; she then felt a hiss sneaking out from the open lips. Kwon Eunbi lowered her head, grabbed the quivering finger then gently brushed her lips across the fingertip. The room was bathed in the warm morning sunlight. She was wearing a black off-the-shoulder top; her hair flowed down to one side and shaded a small and pale face. The sunray highlighted her milky collarbone. The sight was breath-taking; Kwon Eunbi was breath-taking. An Yujin found herself dazzled by IZ*ONE's former leader once again.
"If you don't hurry up and say it, you'll never have the chance to say it." – The older one widened her earnestly eyes and prompted the stunned maiden.
In the flurry of the moment, An Yujin took Eunbi's two pale hands, grasped them tightly; her strength colored them pink. Kwon Eunbi could feel her hands' throbbing; then it became a bit painful.
"Iー I have weird feelings for you!" Yujin pulled Eunbi tighter against her body, thrusting her head over her own shoulder. Eunbi gently shoved her beloved junior off, took a slow look at her bright red face. Eunbi has her hand under a chin, turning the astounded face up. "It's only a dream," Eunbi leaned in close, swept her lips softly over Yujin's ear. "And you can't even say it properly."
Yujin opened her eyes and sat right up. She looked around; she was not alone. Eunbi was sitting right next to her bed, looking after a crack-head. She had a fever and frankly saying it's quite a serious one. Everyone looked after her, Eunbi stayed by her side for almost 24/7. Seeing Yujin's face flushed red when their eyes met, Eunbi got all work up and shouted "The fever hasn't gone down, girls! Her face is bright red! We need to send her to a hospital! Call the others, we need to move now!"
"Wait! No! Calm down! Unnie! I'm fine!" – Yujin quickly grabbed Eunbi's hand, trying to calm her down.
"What are you talking about?! You're face! It'sー!"
"ーRed! I know! It's not like what you think! I'm fine."
"But..."
"I'm perfectly fine. Look at me! I'm much stronger than you!"
"Oh right. It's hurting now so..." – Eunbi glanced down at her aching hand.
"Oh... Sorry," Yujin let go off it in hurry, "I had a weird nightmare so I got all flush up while waking up."
"What was so bad about it that you became like this?!" – Eunbi worried.
"It's nothing special. It's weird. You were in it though."
"I'm in it and you're calling it a nightmare?! I'm feeling like I've been betrayed."
Eunbi turned around, headed right to the door.
"Wait! I'm sorry. Sorry. Sorry. Sorry..."
Despite Yujin's whimpers, she kept walking out straightforward. In the living room, Yena was casually strolling around; she walked pass Eunbi, stopped for a second and left a comment "You're looking super suspicious right now." Why did Yena say that you ask? It's maybe because Kwon Eunbi was sitting on the sofa holding her chuckles, swinging her legs and mumbling something under her breath.
