Yoohyeon's POV

Later on, Siyeon came and we started practicing. When our practice was over Siyeon was about to leave but Dami stopped her. She said she had something to discuss with her.

"You think that we don't know what you did?" She was talking to Siyeon. What was she trying to say?

"Eh? I don't understand."

"We know. You put something in Yoohyeon's drink. Few weeks ago. Lee Siyeon you thought you pulled through? Just like that?" Dami said sarcastically.

"What? What are you talking about?"

"We know Siyeon. Me and Yoohyeon. For now it's only us. But if you keep threatening Yoohyeon, cause she told me, I'm going to tell everything to everyone!" Dami said angrily.

"And who would believe you? You don't have proof that I did what I did!" Siyeon said, laughing now.

"How can you be so sure? Cause I have proof. And you won't like it!" Dami said smiling victoriously.

"Fine, fine! I'll stop! Are we done now? I need to go home!" Siyeon was frustrated. Dami smiled and nodded.

When Siyeon left I couldn't hold my anger anymore.

"What did you just do? Why did you told her that? Why did you threaten her?" I was pissed, but mostly I was afraid.

"Chill Yoo. She can do nothing now. I didn't want to threaten her. But we could do nothing else. There is only one option. Revenge. Treating her exactly as she treats you." Dami said.

"No. It doesn't have to be this way. My grandma was saying that there is always a way! A good way!"

"Oh come on Yoo. It was the only thing I thought at least. I tried to help after all!"

"I'm sorry. You're right. Thanks for your help. I hope she will stop. Cause the girls are my friends now. And it hurts me to stay away from them."

"I know,... I know."

Next day Siyeon came to my apartment to practice, again. She wasn't talking. Not at all. She would only talk about practice and nothing else. It went like this for a few days. I didn't talk to her at first. I let her be. But I could see that something had changed. That she wanted to say something. Yet... She was hesitant. I didn't push her.

"What are we going to do today?" Minji asked me at some point at school.

"I'm bored. And I know you have practice. But really. I can't just go home and not see you at all."

"But you saw me. Now." I said smiling.

"Yah! I don't mean that! I wanna hang out with youuuu."

"I can't unnie. I'm sorry." It was a really busy day today. I couldn't hang out even for a few minutes. She smiled sadly and said it was ok and that she understood.

In the afternoon Siyeon came to my apartment again. We practiced till late at night. When it was time for her to leave she stopped a few steps away from the door and turned around. She went to the couch and sat again. I understood it was the time, the time that she was finaly going to tell me what was on her mind these past few days. I sat on the couch with her and waited. She took a few deep breaths in and then she spoke.

"I'm sorry. I'm sorry for everything Yoohyeon. I just... My mom always said that your mother was a spoiled brat, and that you are too, cause you are her daughter. That your mother stole my father from her. When in reality they had broken up for so many different reasons. And they had broke up before he met your mother. She made me believe that your mother was mostly at fault when she wasn't. I knew the truth. I just... couldn't accept it..." She said softly. Her voice seemed cracked. I wanted to say something but in the end I stayed quiet.

"How is it... To grow up without a father?" She asked me.

"You already know that."

"It's not the same. I had and have my father beside me. I just chose to push him away. But he was there!" She said almost tearing up. She never cried. At least I hadn't seen her crying. So this sight of her was... Unexpected...

"Well,... It's hard,... To be honest. I miss him. Every single day. But I can do nothing to bring him back. So... I just move on." Siyeon nodded. She could understand somehow my pain.

"Are you... Going to your mother today?" She asked a bit hesitant.

"Yeah." I knew what she wanted to ask. But it wasn't for me easy to say it either.

"How is she?"

"She is... Fine. Stable."

"Is...i-is... My father going to be there?" She finally asked. She almost whispered it.

"Yeah. He is always there."

"He loves your mother, Yooh."

"I know. He also loves your mother, and you and Gahyeon. You are his family after all." She nodded.

"Can we go?"

"Yeah we will. Just give me a second to feed Pie. And then we can go." When I turned back from the kitchen, Pie was now eating happily in the kitchen, Siyeon hugged me tightly.

"Thank you Yoohyeon. For taking care of him. For loving him like a father. For caring for him like a good daughter that he never had."

"It's ok Siyeon ssi."

"Unnie. Please." I nodded. She then rested her head on the crook of my neck. I felt her hot tears on my neck. I didn't say anything.

"Yoohyeon... It was hard. Losing you as a friend. It was hard. You always came to play with Gahyeon. And I wanted to come and play with you too. But... I... I-i couldn't... my mom-"

"It's ok. It's in the past, now."

"No, it isn't. I never forgave myself for this. It was so hard Yoohyeon. You were my best friend. I loved you so much Yoohyeon. And I still do. Not only in a friendly way. I love Bora, yes. But you were my first love Yoohyeon. You were. And first love is always important. It's always so powerful. It's always so strong to forget. I love you Yoohyeon. I want you to remember that." She said. I couldn't believe my ears. She raised her head up, away from my neck now, she was looking at me straight in my eyes, tears streaming down her face. She then came close to me and kissed me. My legs were frozen. I was frozen. I couldn't push her away. It was so unexpected. The kiss was a soft one. She then broke it and wiped her tears away. She took some deep breaths and said,

"Don't worry. I'm not going to tell anyone about it. I'm not going to use it against you. I'm not going to threaten you again. I'm sorry I did. I was afraid and... Jealous." And now, I could finally understand her. Every single stare she gave me, the threatens, the kiss at the club, the hate. Everything. She loved me. And she was afraid to admit it. She was also afraid to admit to herself that her mother was wrong. And she was jealous that I was 'stealing' again her friends. Like I did with Gahyeon. I smiled at her.

"It's ok unnie. I'm not going to tell anyone." She smiled back and we left the house to go to the hospital.

When we arrived, I sat beside my mom's bed and started talking to her again.

"Mom, I brought company with me today. It's not Dami, nor Handong unnie. And not Gahyeon. It's Siyeon unnie... I know you would never expected her to come. Me too. But... Things changed. People change too." I said while holding her hand. Then I turned to look at Siyeon. She was shifting from one foot to another. She was nervous. When I looked at her and she looked at me back, she smiled. A small one. I smiled back. I signaled her to come here. And she did. She took a deep breath and then spoke.

"Hello, Mrs.Kim. I'm Lee Siyeon. And... I wanted to say sorry for bothering your daughter all this time. Your daughter is an amazing and really patient person. She never yelled at me nor tried to defend herself at my harsh words or behaviour. She is a wonderful person and I'm sure she took after you, ma'am. I hope you'll get better soon." She said looking at her and whenever she was talking about me, she was looking at me smiling. We stayed there for a while. Then we went to eat something outside.

"Yoohyeon..."

"Nae?"

"I... Does Minji know about it?"

"About what?"

"...your mother."

"...no."

"Why don't you tell her? Her mother works here you know. And Minji comes many times here to help and all. So she knows some of those people here. She might know your mother too. Don't push her away. She is an understanding person."

"I know. It's just... I'm not ready yet to trust someone about this."

"Ok. I understand."

"You know... Dami thought for a second that you might had a tiny crush on Minji unnie. So that was the reason you tried to push me away. At least that's her opinion." I said. We were sitting outside drinking some coffee and eating some donuts. It was half past five in the morning. We weren't planning to go to school later on that day. Our professors were going to yell pretty badly at us but it was an emergency.

Siyeon laughed.

"To be honest... I still don't know anymore. When I met Minji and Bora, they were both so perfect. I was so happy that I had two perfect friends. It was enough to cover my emptiness that I was feeling without you. I started having feelings for Minji, at first. Cause she was so good to me. Like she is to you. She always took good care of me. And I, for once felt loved, and wanted. But I understood quickly that it wasn't love in a romantic way. It was just love. Poor love. I started, later on, growing feelings towards Bora too. But they were different. That was love in a romantic way. It was different though from the young, poor, romantic love that I felt and feel for you. But it's strong and enough to keep me with her. I love her and I want her. So, no. I'm not going to let her go. That's why when Dami threatened me I stopped threatening you too." She said. She took a deep breath and continued.

"I thought that keeping you away would be the best for all of us. I wouldn't be jealous, I wouldn't feel that you are stealing my friends. And mostly, my feelings for you would still be hidden deep down in my heart. But I was wrong. I can't keep you away from your friends. And also... My feelings for you were always there. I just decided to hide them and push them away. The difference now is that I can't push them away anymore. I caldn't lie to myself anymore. So... Thank you Yoohyeon. For coming back to my life again and helping me solve things out. I can finally live peacefully. Now I know what I feel for you and I can try to move on from you. Now I know." She said smiling. I smiled too. We continued talking for other stuff too. We talked about the practice too, and we even started practicing quietly.

It was seven to five o'clock, when Siyeon's father came. Siyeon was scrolling through her phone at that time so she didn't realize he was here.

"Good morning uncle." I greeted him smoothly. And then I realized that I called him 'uncle' in front of Siyeon. No one realized it though. Siyeon's father was looking at her speechless and when she turned to look at me and saw him she froze too. But that was for only some seconds. Cause she rushed to him and hugged him tightly.

"Appa..." She said crying.

"Appa, I'm sorry. For everything." She said between her tears.

"Come on. Let's go outside to talk about it." I didn't know what they talked about. But I could guess. They had so many things to talk about after so many years.

___

It was quarter past ten when they came inside again. They were both smiling from ear to ear and had tears in their eyes too. I smiled to them. Siyeon's father signaled me a 'thank you' while smiling gratefully. I smiled back signalling him that it was nothing. We went inside to my mom's room. We sat there for awhile and then he suggested us to go out for breakfast with him. Just the three of us. I said that I was ok with it. We both looked at Siyeon. She then nodded happily. She seemed the most happiest person alive. It's been awhile since she was this happy.

Author's note:
I'm so not ready for Dreamcatcher's comeback!!!  Siyeon is bias wrecking me a lot!!! Also, they all look so pretty in the MV teaser!!! And the scenes are so pretty too! What are they up to? Can the MV be released just now!?  

You didn't expect Siyeon to actually like Yoohyeon, especially this way, did you? And you didn't expect them to have such a tragic past did you? ;)  Honsetly, does even Siyeon's side make any sense to you? Well, I'll only say that... sometimes feelings are... a bit confusing. And sometimes the situations we are in makes them seem even more confusing to us. And we might handle situations and feelings so much differently than we would probably do in other circumstances.

Anyway! Remember that English is not my first language so there might be mistakes. I hope you all liked it! Don't forget to like the chapter, and comment, if you want. It helps me A Lot. Bye! Dream of Dreamcatcher!
