Yoohyeon's POV

When I went inside my mom's room, I was more than happy that Siyeon's father wasn't there. And I knew where he was. He was outside with both of his daughters this time. And I was so happy about it.

I started talking to my mom for my day, like I always do. I told her everything. And especially how happy I was that I had friends by my side, that the play went well, and that Siyeon was talking with her dad again.

My mom was in a coma for three years now. I was at the end of fifteen back then, to be exact. The doctors had said that she might could hear me. At first I couldn't believe them. I was talking to her in my mind. But later on, it was hard. Too hard. I missed talking to her. I missed her smile, her laughs, her advices. Everything. So I started talking to her slowly slowly. And now, I couldn't stop talking to her. And I was talking to her. About everything. Her condition was stable for three years now. Except that finger that moved, few weeks ago.

I started crying again when I remembered everything I went through. I might looked cold to most of people, and so much more mature than most eighteen years old teens, but... I had my breakdowns too. Life made me like this. It wasn't something I chose to.

"Mom,... It's too hard without you." I mumbled between my silent sobs.

"Everyone had someone out there to look for them at the play today. I had none mom. I wished you were there. I thought of you between the crowd. It's so painful mom." I said and cried again.

"Yoohyeon we brought- Yoohyeon?!" Gahyeon said. She then rushed to my side and hugged me. I wiped my tears quickly and took in a few deep breaths trying to calm down.

"Unnie? Are you alright?" She asked worriedly.

"Yeah I'm fine Gahyeon-ah." I tried to say.

"We brought you ice cream Yoohyeon." Siyeon's father said. I looked at him and thanked him. Beside him was Siyeon and she was looking at me worriedly too. I could sense she wanted to hug me and talk to me but she was hesitant about it.

"Uncle, can you take Gahyeon and go for a while? I need to talk with Siyeon." I said truthfully this time. I wasn't going to lie this time. It wasn't necessary anyway. They knew me and they knew Siyeon too. And they knew we were friends so it was normal for us to want to stay alone and talk. They nodded and left the room. Siyeon stayed at her place still frozen though.

"Come here pabo!" I said laughing a bit. She came and I hugged her tightly. And just like that I started sobbing in her arms. She was caressing my back and she was saying it would be alright. I took some deep breaths and stopped crying a little. I stepped a bit back so I could see her when I was talking to her and started talking.

"It's so hard Siyeon unnie. It's so hard to cover the emptiness I feel. It's so hard to pretend that everything is fine. It's so hard not having a mom. It's so hard..." I said and started crying again. She hugged me again, tightly. She kissed my head and said that everything will be fine. That I was doing fine so far and that I could keep going. And also, she told me to be hopeful and that my mom was going to wake up soon. I wished she was right about that one...

"Yoohyeon... I'm sorry again. For everything. You had a hard time with your mom and I was being a bitch. I even hit your face! I'm sorry. I'm SO sorry. I truly am." She said looking on the ground. She was feeling guilty.

"Enough with being sorry Siyeon unnie. You say sorry everyday. I told you already that I forgave you. You should forgive yourself too. I understand you. I understand why you did what you did. It's in the past anyway. We can't change anything. Let's change the future at least." She nodded and hugged me again.

"I'm here now. I'm sorry it took me a while."

"Enough with the sorries!" I half yelled half laughed. We both looked at each other and started laughing, so hard.

Uncle and Gahyeon came in and saw us laughing. They smiled happily.

"Are you fine now?" Gahyeon asked.

"Yeah. Now let's eat ice cream!" I said smiling now.

The next morning me and Siyeon were waiting behind from the stage once again. We weren't alone. All my classmates were there waiting for their turn to show their song to everyone. I was nervous. But I couldn't just ditch Siyeon and go to Minji. Minji was with Handong anyway. Today, the dancing class was going to show us their dancing skills too. So, Bora was here with Dami too. Dami was her pair. And Dami had told me that their practice was going well. She had told me that Bora was a great dancer. So I was curious and wanted to see by myself.

"Do you want me to call Bora over here?" I asked Siyeon. She seemed nervous like me. Our latest practices were going fine by the way. More than fine. We never had these good practices so far.

"No, it's fine. Plus, she is talking with Dami now. I don't want to interrupt." I nodded my head.

"Dami said Bora is a really good dancer."

"Yeah... She is. Have I told you how I fell in love with her?"

"No? What are you waiting for? Tell me! Now!" I said and we both laughed a little at my impatience.

"Ok"

"It was a Monday afternoon. Bora had practice at the studio. She is in a dancing team too outside from school. That's why she is so good. And... I had just left Gahyeon at her friend's house. I think it was Yeri. I don't remember that well. It was a year and a half ago. Anyway. And... I was returning home. Bora had told me where was that studio and she had invited me many times. But I always declined. I wasn't interested in dancing. So,... That afternoon I was walking down the streets to go to my house. I passed by that studio. I stopped and looked at it. I stayed there for awhile thinking if I should head in or not. I didn't have something to do at home so... I just went in. I wasn't in the mood though. But... Something dragged me in. I felt it. I felt that I had to go inside and give it a chance. And I didn't regret it. I never did.

Bora was there with some other girls. She was dancing with them. She wasn't looking anywhere else but herself in the mirror or the teacher. She was dancing with so much passion. I could see it in her face. She was dancing sexily too. But I didn't care about that, that moment. The only thing that mattered was how much she seemed to like it. How focused she was. I liked that. I loved that. I felt that. I fell in love, Yoohyeon. And I finally understood how beautiful dancing is. How beautiful it is when someone loves what they are doing. How much passion they can have for it. And I loved it. I loved that. I loved dancing from that moment and I loved her too. I know it sounds silly but that's what happened.

When they stopped dancing to have a break finally, the girls realized I was there. She didn't. She was too focused practicing in front of the mirror. I understood from what their teacher said that Bora was the best dancer among them and she was something like a teacher there too. Bora never told me that. She wasn't talking to me about her dancing team and all cause she understood that I wasn't that interested. I was wrong, that I made her believe something like that. I was wrong for not liking dancing that much. I should at least appreciate her likings and I should have made her talk to me about them too. Anyway.

The girls tried to talk to Bora about my presence but she was too focused to hear them. Her body was moving on its own. And she was dancing so good , Yoohyeon. She knew how to work her body. But at the same time, it seemed like the music was moving her body. She felt the rhythm THAT much! Then, the teacher turned off the music and came to Bora and told her that a blonde hair girl was at the door waiting for her. She turned to look at me and she froze at her place. She came close to me at first walking and then she ran and hugged me.

"Singie! I can't believe you are here!" That's what she told me. She was so happy that I was there. And I understood from that moment that I should have gone there earlier. She was hopping that I would come every time she had practice! Of course I should have gone there earlier!

"Yeah, I came. And I saw you dancing earlier. Bora I... I have no words! This was amazing!" I said excited. Of course I didn't tell her what had gone into me. What I felt and realized when I saw her dancing. I told her later. When we finally confessed our feelings to each other.

"You saw me?! And you liked it?! Oh my gosh Singie! I'm so happy now!" And she was. She truly was. And I was happy with her happiness too.

We went to sit on the bench and we started talking. We ate something and she drank a lot of water cause she was tired. Then, they danced again and when everyone left it was just the two of us. Bora offered me to dance with her and then... I realized that I loved dancing, dancing with Bora. And from then, I didn't stop coming to see her dancing. And we didn't stop dancing every time after practice."

"Wow... Siyeon unnie, I'm so happy for you! This is just like a dream!" I said excitedly.

"Yeah, I'm happy too. And that's why I can't do that to Bora. I can't believe-"

"Shhhh... It's ok. I told you already that you'll move on soon. Just keep on loving her and making her happy. Ok?" She nodded.

We continued talking and I was so happy that we talked about this. It made us both distracted for awhile.

Mrs. Choi came to us and told us that we were going to be the last one pair to show our song cause she believed that we were the best so it should be as an amazing ending.

"Hey, it's Bora's time to show up on stage. Let's go see her." I said to Siyeon and dragged her by her hand. I dragged her and we left the amphitheatre. She started worrying and told me that we should head back. I told her that we would be fine and that we were the last ones anyway. I took her to a class on the first floor and I went to open a door that was there.

"What is it inside here?" Siyeon asked me.

"This class was used for science and chemistry laboratory. But they made us a new one so no one uses this one anymore." I answered her.

"And how do you know that?"

"I asked our science teacher for something that I needed for our project and he sent me here telling me this." I told her. By the way, if you are asking me, the science project went fine. Our professor was satisfied enough with our work. And of course he paired us, me, Minji and Bora, again like that for the next semester.

"And what is it inside this door now that it's not used as a science lab?" Siyeon asked again.

"Inside here, there are chemical and science stuff. They locked them here cause they got too old to get used by students. It would be dangerous."

"And why are we here then? How are we supposed to watch Bora from here?"

"Wait just a second. Let me open this door. It's so old, aish!" I opened the door and we went inside. It had dust everywhere and it smelled really awfully. I dragged her at the corner of this small room.

"What is it here?" She asked again.

"You are asking too much unnie. Just watch." I simply said. And we sat there. The floor there was made from glass. It was the only place in the building that was made by glass. And we had the perfect view to the amphitheatre's stage.

"Why is this the only place that has glass as a floor?" Siyeon was curious and I couldn't blame her.

"Well, if you remembered, they wanted to build all schools and colleges with glass floors. It was something the government had decided five years ago. But that idea soon was declined, cause they thought that it wouldn't be safe for the students. The buildings had started putting glass as floors though. They stopped that but some floors stayed with glass as floor. It was too expensive to pull them off and build new floors again. So they let them. Our building has only this floor made by glass unfortunately. So they made a new laboratory so we wouldn't come here and be in 'danger'." I said.

"Wow! How do you know all that? Siyeon asked again impressed.

"Well, I just know it. There are many things you don't know about me unnie. But we have plenty of time to know each other better. Cause we are friends from now on." I said smiling. And then I continued.

"I found this place when our prof send me here as I told you before. And since then, I came here to watch the practices, the plays and all that. It's a peaceful place and you can see and listen clearly, everything from up here. It's just too pity that the floor is made from glass only here. It should be to all the building. Oh look! Bora unnie is on stage with Dami. Good luck girls!" I said and closed my eyes to pray for them to have good luck. When I opened my eyes Siyeon was looking at me smiling. I knew that stare. Oh I knew it too well. I smiled back at her and showed her Bora. She should be looking at her in that way, lovingly, instead of me...
