Yoohyeon's POV

And those two weeks passed by really fast. In a blink of an eye. I never realized it. Me and Siyeon were practicing more and more. She was now talking to me and you could say that we were somehow friends yet... She wasn't showing that side of her in front of the girls. All of them knew that she hated me. It would be weird and suspicious how she changed. So she decided to show it slowly slowly. That our practice was the only reason we became close. She didn't want the girls to know the truth. And to be honest, I didn't want them to know either.

But except from the practice for the songs, we were also practicing for the play too. As days gone by, I was getting more and more nervous.

And the day for the play came. It was Thursday. The last one for this semester. Then it was Friday and then we would stop college for Christmas holidays. And the semester ended there too.

I was at the amphitheatre that our college had. I was sitting somewhere behind the scene and I was waiting for our time to show up on stage. Minji was beside me and she was pacing from the one side to the other. She was nervous too. And I had to stop her from being nervous. I stood up from my seat and went over to her. I held her hand and looked at her. She stopped walking and looked at me.

"Unnie,... I'm not good with words. But,... Everything will be fine. Nae?" I said as I looked at her a bit unsure of what I had just said. She was looking at me without saying anything. I scratched the back of my neck nervously, with my other hand. She took that hand with her other and now we were holding both our hands together. We were looking at each others eyes lost in our own world. Minji was smiling at me now. A small and warm one. At that moment, I badly wanted to know what was on her mind.

"Minji, can I- oh!" Siyeon was heard in the background. And that was enough to make me conscious. I looked away, avoiding Minji's gaze. I was too weak to look at her for too long. I looked at Siyeon. She was smiling at us, and especially to me. But I could also see the hidden pain in her eyes. Maybe the others couldn't see it. But I could. She was hurt. And I knew why. I broke my hold from Minji's hand, afraid to hurt Siyeon any further. She was my friend too, now. And I didn't want to hurt her.

"Oh lovebirds! There you are!" Bora said and came to hug Siyeon from behind. She was referring to us. I felt my heart skipping a beat. I looked at Minji and I could see that she was a little confused and hurt by my action. I didn't want to hurt her too. But I couldn't do something like that to Siyeon either. Why was it so hard? I just didn't want to hurt any of my friends! But how was I going to do that? Minji managed to smile nonetheless. And it was a true one. She laughed with the 'lovebirds' word. And I followed her. Everyone did. She was so beautiful when she was laughing.

"What do you want Bora?" Minji said still laughing a bit.

"Why are you laughing? Aren't you two lovebirds?" We both shook our heads still laughing.

"It seems like it, though." Siyeon mumbled. I heard her. And I immediately looked at her. She was looking at me too. And then she looked away. Aish, Siyeon... I could do nothing to help her. Damn you Yoohyeon!

"Anyway, what do you want?" Minji repeated her question.

"Me? Nothing! I was just looking for Siyeon. And I found her. And I couldn't find you two too. But now I found you as well. So..."

"I wanted to talk to Minji unnie. Actually I wanted someone to fix this thing!" Siyeon said laughing a bit nervously and showed a weird belt she had to wear.

"I'll help you." Me and Minji both said. Minji looked at me weirdly.

"I have to talk with Siyeon about the song." I said. Minji nodded, took Bora's hand and they both left and went to sit somewhere further.

"It wasn't the song, was it? Am I right?" Siyeon asked. I nodded and came closer to her to fix her belt. I didn't want to make her feel uncomfortable. But I could see that she had a hard time while I was this close to her trying to fix that thing. She was biting her lips nervously and tried to not look at me. She was also breathing heavily.

"Siyeon unnie, I... Wanted to... To tell you that, I..."

"I know you love her Yoohyeon. I can see it." She said it for me.

We both looked at Minji. She was looking at us and smiled.

"Why did you want to tell me that? Shouldn't it be her?" Siyeon asked me.

"I felt like it was best for you to know it first. I'm sorry. I know I am hurting you now. But I believe that you should be the first to know. I'm still not sure what I feel towards her unnie. I needed friends in my life. I needed people to love me. To make me feel at home. Not crushes and affairs. All of you made me feel loved. I know my feelings for her are different. But for now, it's best for us to stay us friends. That's what I need now. Also, unnie... I want to help you. As much as I can. To get over it..."

"I understand. You're right. But it's ok Yoohyeon. You can't help much." She sounded hurt.

"Still... I want to help."

"You can help me by staying by my side. As a friend. And as for the move on thing, to stay away. I don't want to hurt Bora. I love her too, you know!" She said and looked over at Bora. I nodded. We both were looking at her. She was talking to Minji. She was being loud as always. She was complaining about something I couldn't tell yet. She was moving her hands, which was something she did when she was a bit frustrated.

"She makes me feel so many things, Yoohyeon. I'm a terrible girlfriend. For doing that to her." Siyeon said and looked away almost tearing up.

"No you aren't. You're a really strong woman. It's just that you have mixed feelings. Take your time unnie. It will be over soon. Don't worry." I tried to reassure her. She smiled sadly at me. I finished fixing her belt and she walked away looking at me thankfully.

"Ok guys! It's time for the play!" Our professor shouted. We all went to our places.

And the play started. When we went outside, there were professors, students, the head teacher, friends and parents. They were all there to watch our play. I was nervous. But at the same time... I was sad. I had no family to come and see me...

___

When the play finished, our professor seemed so happy about it. It was perfect. That's what he said at least.

All students went to hug their friends and family and most of them went to their home with them happily. We didn't have classes today nor tomorrow. Those days... I always felt so lonely.

"Yooh!" Dami said happily and hugged me from behind.

"We were amazing!" Handong said and hugged me too.

"Yeah!!! Group hug!" Gahyeon shouted and hugged us too. She had come to watch our play. She wasn't at college yet. She was a high school student.

"I want group hug too!" Minji shouted and both her, Bora and Siyeon came to hug us. Bora hadn't forgiven me yet if you ask me. She was just being nice and talking to me. It seemed like before. But she still hadn't forgiven me. Siyeon was being nicer towards me lately, in front of the girls at least that's what it seemed. Showing the girls that the practice had brought us closer. That was her plan and I just followed along.

"If you thought you are alone Yoo, then you are wrong. You now have a lot of friends. As a family." Dami whispered to me. And I couldn't agree more. I wasn't alone anymore. I had them. And they were my family...

___

When college closed, my friends went out with their families. Bora with hers, Siyeon and Gahyeon with theirs, Handong with hers, Dami with hers and me and Minji were left alone at school.

"Why aren't your parents here?" I asked her curiously. I was sure the other girl had parents.

"Busy. I could ask you the same though." She said.

"Busy too." I lied.

"Ok, how about... We hang out together then?" She asked and started pleading me with those cute puppy eyes, only her had.

(I know it's not a cute face, but mostly a funny one, but come on! She is cute too! She is a sunshine and you can't tell me otherwise!) 

She was the cutest human being. No one could resist her. No one. I nodded to her, smiling and chuckling at her cute and funny face.

"But I have to go somewhere later." I said as I remembered my mom. I wanted to visit her. Especially today. And my dad too.

"Ok. I promise I won't take much of your time."

"You don't. Believe me." You can take all of my time. You are the one that makes my life beautiful Kim Minji. You and only you. Yet I couldn't tell her something like that so I just smiled at her. A big one.

"Why are you smiling like that?" She asked.

"Were you thinking about me?" She teased me and then laughed.

"And what if I did?" I teased her too. She laughed. But when I didn't she froze and stopped laughing.

"Where you really thinking about me?" I didn't answer her. I was just smiling.

"Let's go unnie." I tried to say between my big smile that couldn't leave my face even for just a second, took her hand in mine and started walking.

"Where are we going this time?" I asked her. She said her favourite restaurant and we headed there.

"You know, lately you've been smiling more than you had in all those years." Minji said suddenly. I looked at her.

"What do you mean?"

"I don't know what you've been through. But I saw you all these years. And you had always an unreadable expression on your face. You smiled rarely and that was because Dami said something funny or Gahyeon did something silly or Handong teased you. Lately, you smile more." I thought about it and then nodded.

"Yeah. And that's cause of you." I teased her. It was true though. But I prefer to not tell her yet.

"Oh come on!" She growled between her laughs.

"Ok ok, I'll be serious. It's just... I finally found my home unnie. My family." Minji smiled but then asked,

"What do you mean? You didn't have family before? Where were they? And why didn't they come today?" She was dumb. I laughed again and looked at the sky. It was afternoon. And the sky was so beautiful. It was painted in orange and purple colours. So beautiful! Aish. I miss you mom, I miss you dad...  I didn't explain to her what I meant and she didn't ask me any further.

We were walking on the streets, and talking and laughing. We were looking at the shops' windows. The town was decorated. Christmas were in a few days. Everything around us smelled like Christmas. Everything around us seemed so happy. Everything around us had the Christmas spirit. And finally, this Christmas, I wasn't going to be alone. Or I wished I wouldn't be. Cause the girls were planning to go on vacation with their families at Christmas. So I might be alone again. But at least now I had a family. I then, remembered my parents and I felt sad again.

"Isn't it magical?" Minji asked me. She was so happy and bright. I managed to smile and nodded. I wanted to cry now. But I held my tears. She was so happy. I should be happy too and not make her sad. She looked at me and observed my face. She then held my hand tighter and smiled warmly. She came close to me and kissed my cheek. I felt my body warming up and my soul too. She was the cutest human being, indeed. She then dragged me and we continued walking.

We went inside her favourite restaurant and sat at a table. But suddenly a tall man with black hair and black suit came to us.

"Kim Minji ssi. How are you?"

"I'm fine. How are you Mr. Kang?" She asked him. This time, she managed to smile. I observed her. She wasn't that happy that she saw him. Something was wrong. But of course I wasn't going to pressure her to tell me.

"I am fine too. Your father said that you can use the parlour too. Especially if your company is someone important to you." He said and then looked at me. What was he talking about?

"It's ok. We will sit here. We like it better."

"As you wish ma'am." He said and then went inside the kitchen.

"Who was he?" I asked. I didn't want to ask something else that could make her uncomfortable. I thought this would be the best question of all of them that I had in my head.

"He is the boss here." She just said.

"And... How does he know your father?"

"Yoohyeon... I don't want to talk about my father now. We went out to eat and have a great time. Not to talk about business and stuff. I promise I'll tell you some time later, ok?" I nodded my head. I pushed her way too far. I shouldn't have. She was always talking about her mother, and she was so proud of her. But she never talked about her father. Guess it was something that hurt her. Everyone has their secrets after all... I should have known...

I couldn't forgive myself after that. I felt horrible that I pressured her. She wasn't talking that much for awhile. But she soon got over it and she seemed fine now. But I wasn't.

"Yoohyeon... Why aren't you talking? What's wrong?" She asked me after a while.

"I've been observing you since a while ago. Something is off."

"I'm fine."

"No you aren't. Does it have to do with my father?" I nodded my head slowly.

"Yoohyeon... You don't have to blame yourself for it. I'm happy now, see? I really am. You didn't made me sad. I'm fine. We went outside to have some fun. So please forgive yourself. You did nothing wrong. So stop blaming yourself, please." She said looking straight into my eyes while holding my hands and caressing them. We were friends for only one and a half month and she knew me so well already. She knew that when I wasn't talking that much something had happened. And she also knew that I would blame myself for it. I smiled at her and nodded.

The rest of the night was beautiful. We were back to normal again. We were both laughing and talking like we always do. She left me in my apartment and then left, kissing my cheek like she always did. I smiled at her one last time and she blow me a kiss before disappearing from my sight. I went inside my apartment. I fed Pie and then I left. I had to go to my mom. It was late so I couldn't go to my dad's grave now. It was dangerous. But I promised myself I was going to go tomorrow, if I could.
