Yoohyeon's POV

"Bora?"

Bora turned to look at the person who had just entered the room. She was frozen. Her face unreadable. She bit her lips hard and tried to not break down and cry once again like she did last time, six months ago.

"Bora... I-i'm sorry." Siyeon said. Her voice was cracked. Heejin was behind her looking worried and confused.

"I... We'll come later Yoo." She said and she and Heejin were about to leave.

"You won't go anywhere Lee." Bora said. Her voice was cold. Siyeon did as she was told to but signaled Heejin to leave the room and pass by later. Heejin nodded and left. It was quiet. No one talked for a bit.

"How are you...?" Siyeon asked.

"It's none of your business anymore. How am I? Do you hear yourself? You just left and now you come back as what, Lee? As what? As my girlfriend? As my lover? As what? How dare you?!" Bora yelled. Her voice was cold and cracked at the same time. Siyeon didn't talk.

"You were always like that. Leaving me alone when something difficult showed up. Remember when I told my father about you? He didn't like you cause you were a girl. And you left me alone once again. And when I told him that your father had money too, he let us be together. Even if he didn't like it. And you? Where were you when I was fighting for us? Nowhere! Where were you now? You left again. It's the only thing you know. You can't fight for us. You just... Can't..."

"Why didn't you stay and solve things out with me?" This time Bora sounded hurt.

"I... I needed time Bora. I needed time. You needed time too."

"Bullshit!" Bora yelled. Siyeon flinched to how loud Bora screamed at her face.

"No. It's not bullshit. It's the truth. I needed time to realize my feelings. I needed time to get over Yoohyeon. I needed time. You needed time too. To realize what I've told you. I'm sorry I lied to you. I'm sorry I did all those things. But don't ever say I didn't love you. Cause I did. And I still do. Cause after getting over Yoohyeon, the only one I wanted, the only one I missed, it was you, Bora." Siyeon said. She came close to Bora and tried to hold her hands. But Bora stepped back.

"Lies! That's all lies!"

"No, it isn't."

"You didn't love me. You don't love me. You... You! How could you lie to me? If you love me! How could you?" Bora shouted and ended up crying on the floor. Siyeon came close to her and hugged her.

"Don't touch me!" Bora screamed and pushed her away. But Siyeon tried again to hug her.

"I said. Don't. Touch. Me!" Bora yelled once again and tried to push her away but this time Siyeon held her even tighter.

"I hate you! I hate You!" Bora yelled and cried in her arms.

"I'm sorry." Was all Siyeon was replying to every 'I hate you' Bora was yelling at her.

"Leave me alone!" Bora yelled pushing her away. This time Siyeon did as she was told to. She stayed away from her. Bora was crying on the floor all alone. Siyeon was a few feet away from her holding her tears and pain in her chest alone too. And I was at my hospital bed not knowing what to do. Bora stood up and ran outside. And that's when Minji went in.

"What happened here? Why is Bora crying? She didn't even let me go with her!" Minji asked me and then she saw Siyeon on the floor. Now, Siyeon was the one crying. It was the first time I saw her crying this much. She wasn't just crying. She was crying desperately, hopelessly, choking on her own tears, yelling in pain, pulling her hair with her hands. Minji ran to her and hugged her. But nothing could make her pain go away.

"I need her to forgive me. I need her in my life Minji. I made a mistake. A really bad one. And I'm going to regret it all my life. She hates ME Minji! She. Hates. Me!" She yelled between her cries. Minji could only caress her back.

"I need to go find Bora. Stay with Yoohyeon please." Minji said after a long while that Siyeon had finally calmed down a bit. She made Siyeon sit beside me and left quickly.

Siyeon wasn't crying anymore. She was just staring at the white wall, her face so broken. Like her (Jin)soul. 

(You see what I did there? Ok, nevermind. I have no braincells now. It's confirmed. Officially. Lmao) 

"Unnie, I'm sure everything will be fine. Just... Wait a little. You had left her alone. She thought she will never see you again. She did everything to move on and forget you and that incident. And you suddenly appear again in her life. You have to wait for her to get used to that change in her life, again. To accept that incident and then forgive you. I'm sure she will. She is a good person. You know that too. Just be a little patient." I said. She nodded and buried her head on her legs and hugged them.

The days passed by and Minji was always there for me waiting for me to be completely fine and get discharged from the hospital and finally go home. Siyeon's aunt, uncle and Heejin had came to visit me once and thank me for saving them. As for Siyeon... she was there with us all that time. She wasn't talking at all. The only time she left the hospital was to go at Minji's house cause Bora was coming to see me. She didn't want to make things any more uncomfortable to Bora. So she avoided her. Minji was taking good care of her. But she was still seeming lifeless. At the same time, my nurse, Chungha was being really nice to me. I knew her cause she was taking care of my mom all this time. And she was now taking care of me too. Whenever Minji wasn't there she was the one taking care of me.

"Yoohyeon, you are going to get discharged tomorrow. But you still have to stay at home for at least a week so we would be sure you'll be completely fine. But after that, we can hang out. Some time. Even if you will turn me down once again, I'll never stop courting you." Chungha said. I knew she had a thing for me. I wasn't interested back then. But now... Well, it would de good to be friends with her. But just that.

"I'll have it in mind. But you have to know that, I want us to hang out as friends." I said. I wanted to clear things out from the start. She nodded. I wished she could find someone else than me. Why was everyone sticking with me? I wasn't interesting at all! I was just depressed and didn't want any attention on me and lately everyone had been sticking with me as if I had asked all this attention. It didn't feel bad. But I wasn't used to it.

Minji came the next morning, to take me home. She helped me stand up from the bed, helped me sit at her car's seat and then she helped me lay down on my bed. She stayed there for that week cooking me and taking care of me. And of course, that week brought us close once again.

My friends were once again there for me even if I lost contact with them few months ago. They were always there for me and they would always be. Siyeon was coming to my house too. But she tried to come when Bora wasn't there. She was giving her time. And as I could say... Bora was getting better. She was open again and loud once again. I could say that she was feeling lonely and hurt. She wasn't the same Bora she used to be. But she was better than the cold Bora I saw at the hospital. So it was a good thing.

"Do you think Bora is giving Siyeon a chance?" I asked Minji while we were on my bed. We were about to sleep. And we were going to sleep together, hugging each other. Like we used to.

"Yeah. Bora can't live without Siyeon. And Siyeon can't live without Bora. Those two are just made for each other." She said smiling.

"What about us?" She asked me then and looked at me. I looked at her back, frozen this time.

"Kidding, kidding. If I knew you would freak out that much I wouldn't say anything. Chill!" Minji said laughing it off. But I knew she was in pain.

"I didn't freak out. It's just... I'm afraid. I never had a relationship before unnie."

"I know. Do... Do you perhaps want to give us a chance though?"

"And about that girl? You don't love her anymore?" I asked her.

"What girl?"

"You had told me that you were in love with a girl."

"Ah! You were that girl. Pabo!" She said smiling and looking at me in my eyes. I froze on my spot. She loved me. Only me. Not like it wasn't obvious. It was just... I always pushed it aside telling myself that she was just a friend. And all that was just something friends would do. I always ignored her feelings and at the same time I ignored mine too.

"Hey... You daydreamed again. It's ok if you aren't sure yet. I can wait." She said. I hugged her tighter.

"I was thinking..." I said.

"Wow! So that's what was smelling like something was burnt! It was your mind!" Minji teased me. I pinched her shoulder.

"Unnie! I'm being serious here!"

"Sorry sorry." She said laughing. I laughed too.

"As I was saying... I was thinking. About you. And about my feelings towards you. And... About your offer. And... Yes, I would love to give us a chance." I said softly. Minji didn't respond. I turned to look at her anxious about what she was going to say. She was already looking at me, eyes widened.

"Oh my gosh! Yoohyeon! You mean that?" She asked me shocked, her eyes getting watery.

"Yes unnie." I said nodding my head. She hugged me so tightly. I could say she was relieved. And I was too. I hadn't tell her my feelings. But they were a bit obvious too anyway. And I finally felt at peace once again.

"Careful! I'm still hurt!"

"I'm sorry puppy!"

The next morning was the best morning in my life. I woke between my favourite arms. Minji was staring at me on my sleep and I smiled at her. She smiled back.

"Good morning my puppy!" She said happily and kissed me on my cheek. I could sense that she was afraid to kiss me on my lips cause she wasn't sure of my reaction about it. And I couldn't blame her. I was afraid too. We had just crossed the line from friendzone to relationship. And I had told her that I wanted us to take it slow. So a kiss might be a rushed move.

"Good morning unnie! Do you know how much I love it when you call me your puppy?" I asked her smiling widely. She shook her head.

"Then to tell you the truth, I love it. Really much." I said blushing.

"Aww! Is my puppy blushing?" She teased me and pinched my cheeks. I laughed and so did she.

"Then, I'll call you my puppy forever. Cause you are mine." Minji said. I blushed even more and so did she. We were looking at each others eyes and we were lost once again in our own little world. She came unconsciously closer to me and that's when I panicked. She smiled when she saw my frozen and trembling state and took my arm.

"Let's go have breakfast, shall we?" I nodded.

We had breakfast talking and teasing each other. It felt so natural, it felt so good. I felt so complete. So happy.

"You know, I have a plan. To make Bora and Siyeon meet each other. I don't know if it would be good or not. But Siyeon is avoiding Bora. And if she keeps doing that they will never face their problems and solve them!" Minji said.

"Unnie... I don't think we should interfere."

"But Yoohyeon, if we don't then they won't talk about it. Never!" Minji insisted.

"Ok. So what's your plan, you criminal mastermind?" I teased her. We both laughed.

"Am I sounding that badass?"

"Yeah. You are." She laughed harder.

"You know, I can be really badass in bed too." She said and winked at me. I froze at my place again, suddenly feeling really hot. I took my glass of water and drank it all in one shot. Minji laughed even harder with my panicked state.

"Are you ok my puppy?" She asked me still laughing.

"Yeah... I'll be. Now tell me!"

"Ok. So..."

In the afternoon, the house was decorated ready for a party. I was having a party at my house. Not a party party. I was still weak. But I was having something like a party to celebrate my task in the agency. And the fact that I met with the girls after such a long time. And also, the fact that I was with Minji now. Of course at that party, there were only my friends going to come. I didn't need anyone else anyway. I told Chungha to come too. And uncle too. And Taeyeon and Sunmi. Sunmi was Taeyeon's best friend. She was the one that taught me how to fight. The one who learned me how to defend myself. She was something like a sister too. Like Taeyeon.

And the first ones who came was Dami with Handong, and Taeyeon with Sunmi. I was more than glad that they did. We were talking and having fun. And mostly I was introducing Taeyeon and Sunmi to Minji. I wanted her to know my family and she wanted to know my family too, so...

Then, Chungha, Bora and Yeri came. Chungha was flirting with me and I was trying to be friendly as much as I could. I could sense Minji's intense gaze on me and her though. I introduced Taeyeon and Sunmi to Chungha and Chungha seemed to like them a lot. At least she wasn't with me all the time.

The next one who rang my door was Siyeon and Gahyeon. I was really nervous about these two. Actually, about Siyeon. And Bora. It was Minji's plan to have that party anyway. I opened the door and greeted them. And as they got in Bora's gaze fell on Siyeon. Then a sound of a glass breaking was heard...

Author's note:
Yas! JiYoo is finally official!!! And I know it's kinda frustrating that their relationship is going so slow but... don't forget that Yoohyeon is inexperienced, raped from her step father, both of her parents aren't alive... so... she needs a lot of time to get used to things and to how love works. She is so used to depend on herself only, and she doesn't know how love works so...

Wind by Ftisland is one of my favourite songs out there btw. Listen to it please!

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! See you on Tuesday! Dream of Dreamcatcher!
