Yoohyeon's POV

When I got in to my next class Dami came quickly beside me and started asking me if I was alright and that she had bought me food and that she had it in her bag for later. I just nodded at her not wanting to talk that much. I wasn't in the mood. Not because of Siyeon's behaviour. People could think whatever they want. Not everyone can like you. I wasn't in the mood to talk about what happened with Minji. I couldn't understand why she cared so much. The only thing I could think of was that she was feeling sorry about me or guilty. Or that she wanted to be a nice person. Nothing else. She didn't care about me for real. Yeah, that could be...

We had talked before with Minji. When I was still young and I was going out, sometimes, when Handong had sleepovers she was there too. We had talked. But as less as I was coming to those sleepovers, we talked less and less. Till we stopped talking. So it's weird starting to talk to her again.

Later that day, the classes were finally over. I took my bag and gathered my stuff. I was the last one leaving the class. Like always. At the door was Dami waiting for me. Like always. But this time, it was Minji too. I walked passed them without talking.

"Gahyeon and her sister left. Their mom came and picked them up. Handong unnie said she had some stuff to arrange at the vocal class and stayed a little longer. And Bora unnie should be... somewhere around here." Dami said. I nodded my head at the information.

"Minji unnie isn't your dad going to pick you up too?" Dami asked.

"He has a lot of work today. So I'll go by bus. You guys?" She said smiling. Dami nodded and now they were both looking at me waiting for an answer.

"I have somewhere to go first." I said sighing heavily. Dami looked at me knowing exactly what I meant.

"Do you... perhaps, need company... there?" Dami asked softly. She knew me too well. But still, she needed to know if I would be alright.

"It's ok Yub. I can do it. I'll be ok." I told her smiling sadly. Minji was looking at me confused. When we got out I stopped and looked at Dami.

"See you later?" She asked me unsure. Of course we knew that this later would probably be a long time and not just a few hours. But that's how things should be and go.

"Yeah..." I mumbled softly. She hugged me tightly and then she said,

"Be careful Yoohyeon."

"I'll be. You too." I told her softly. I was feeling already tears in my eyes. But I held them in. I just couldn't start crying now. I had so many things to cry on. So this was a small thing. Crying always seemed endless to me anyway.

Minji was looking at me intensely all that time. She wanted to say something but she also respected me so she never did. And I felt more than glad that she didn't. I parted ways with them and started walking on the other way. I had a long way to walk anyway. I could go by bus, but I prefer walking to those conditions. It helped me clear my mind off of things.

After a few hours, it was almost night time. The sun had been hidden behind the big mountains that surrounded our small city, few minutes ago. The sky was colored in red and purple. It was a really beautiful sight to see. I took out my phone and took some photos even if I wasn't here for that reason. But I liked taking photos. Plus, Dami would like these ones. I was out of the cemetery. I felt lost, again. I went inside with tears in my eyes. I sat at my father's grave and put the flowers I had picked up on my way here beside him. I stayed silent for a while praying for him to rest. And then I started talking to him, letting all my emotions go. I started crying cause I couldn't hold my tears anymore. I stayed there till it got late at night.

Then I left, and started walking to the hospital that was around here. I got inside and I was feeling again lost. I found the right room and I went inside. I sat beside my mother and started talking to her too, after I prayed for her to be well. After awhile, Siyeon's father came in. He was a sweet and caring man. He could hid his real feelings well acting cold and all that, cause of his work. But he was kind. Siyeon didn't know this side of him. She never learnt him. She always lived with her mother. She was seeing him at the weekends. But still... she never tried to listen to his side. She only listened to her mother's side. She never gave him a chance.

"Yoohyeon? Why are you here?" He asked me gently.

"I had to see my mother, uncle." He had told me to call him that. But I couldn't call him that in front of others. They wouldn't understand. So, I just called him Mr. Lee. And uncle when it was just the two of us.

"You still have school tomorrow though."

"I won't go."

"Why?"

"I want to have some time with my mother. Also,... I have things to do in the agency."

"Oh, right."

"How are you?" He asked me after a while. He could see that I wasn't good. But he still wanted to hear it.

"Not that good. But I'll be fine."

"Is Siyeon making your life difficult again?" He asked sure about the answer. I didn't answer. There wasn't any point to it. He already knew. Probably from Gahyeon. He sighed sadly.

The next morning, I woke up on my mother's bed. I had overslept there while talking to her.

"Mom, when will you wake up?" I said almost in a whisper. I sighed sadly and picked my bag. I had stuff to do. I couldn't be late.

When I was in the agency, Taeyeon, the boss here, greeted me.

"Morning Yoohyeon. Ready for this week? It will not be easy I warn you."

"I'm ready for everything ma'am. You already know that." Out from business she wants me to call her aunt. But when we have business, it's ma'am. Or else I'll be dead. We headed inside a big room with many PCs and she showed me my place. A bigger PC, and other technological stuff I'll need. I immediately sat there and started my job. They needed me anyway.

After a week, I had finally finished my work. It was Friday night and I had started Tuesday morning. I was a little proud of myself that I had made it this early. I needed to see Dami. I had promised her that we were going to go out this weekend. Everyone in this agency were proud about me too. This work would have been finished in more than a month. But for me,... well, it was easy. Especially when the only thing I was thinking was my promise to Dami. I didn't want to hurt her and disappoint her. Even if she knew. I grabbed my stuff, greeted everyone and then left. I went to the hospital once again to see my mother and ended up sleeping there again.

The next morning I went back to my apartment. I had missed it, and I needed a relaxing bath. I had also missed Pie. She was really sad and lonely without me. When she saw me she started crying and licking all my face. I teared up too. After the bath and feeding Pie I texted Dami that I was finally free in the afternoon. Dami was taking care of Pie whenever I was missing home like this time. She send me the address of a place where we would meet. I decided to sleep after that cause I was really tired. When I woke up it was already afternoon so I started preparing myself.

Me and Dami met at the cafeteria she wanted us to meet. We stayed there and talked for hours till it was night time. It's been a while since I felt this good.

"We have one more destination to go." Dami said suddenly while we were walking. I thought that we were heading home or something when I understood that she was right. We weren't heading home. It seemed more like Handong's neighborhood rather than mine.

When we stopped in front of Handong's house I asked Dami,

"What are we doing in Handong's house? Did you forget something?"

"You'll see in few seconds. Be a little patient!" Dami teased me.

The door opened and Handong greeted us smiling.

"Guys! Come in!" She said happily.

We went inside and there they were. Minji, Siyeon, Gahyeon and Bora.

"Wait, Handong had a sleepover and you brought me here without even telling me? Why did you do that?" I whispered to Dami.

"You weren't going to come if I have told you. You never come." She was right there. The girls were already sitting on the sofa so Dami just sat on the floor. I did the same. We were comfortable enough with Handong so sitting on the floor was fine. Handong came from her room holding two pajamas of hers and she gave them to us. That's when I realized that the girls were wearing pajamas too. We went to change and went back in the living room. I was wearing an oversized shirt and some short shorts. I didn't care about how I looked that much. But when I went outside from Handong's bedroom, and went to sit in the living room, the girls were looking at me. Especially Minji and Siyeon. I was feeling uncomfortable but I didn't say something. I hated it when everyone's attention was on me. So talking would bring me more trouble than solving the problem. Staying quiet was the solution to most of my problems.

Handong then came in the living room again with food in her hands. She looked at Dami intensely and then she said,

"Dami, you look good on my pajamas!" Dami smiled at her and they kissed in front of us.

"You have seen me wearing your clothes again though." She said smiling shyly. Handong blushed a little and said,

"Still. Every time it's like the first time." She said also shyly.

"Awww!! Guys you are cuteee!! You'll make me wanna kiss Singie too!!" Bora said excited. They both looked at her in disbelief but that didn't stop her.

"Ok enough! We have children here too!" Minji said pointing at Gahyeon.

"If you are talking about my sister then I can tell you that she has seen us many times already. Except, if you are talking about yourself, or the mute girl. Then yes, baby we have to stop. We have children here too." Siyeon said sarcastically. Minji looked at her pissed but didn't say anything.

"Ok. Let's watch a movie while eating!" Handong said and clapped her hands to get everyone's attention. She send Dami to bring some pillows and other stuff so we can sit comfortably while she was choosing a movie with the rest of the girls. I was just sitting there doing nothing. Minji then stopped talking with the rest of the girls and turned to me.

"What do you want us to watch? Come here. Let's choose something!" she said excitedly. I didn't move though. So, she stood up, took my hand and led me to the couch. We sat there together and she was showing me the movies. Siyeon looked at me in disbelief.

"I won't pick up a movie till you tell me your favourite." she told me. Siyeon groaned angrily and stood up to pick up some more food mumbling something about me being mute again. I decided that I should pick up a movie then. So I did. Minji was really happy that I was the one choosing the movie for tonight. And she was actually happy for me being there with them all night. She was holding my hand while we were watching the movie. She would look at me sometimes and when I would look back she was smiling brightly. Then I would look back at the screen cause I was feeling too weird looking at her more.

After the movie we gathered in a circle and started telling scary stories. Gahyeon was yelling most of the time cause she was getting scared easily. Especially when her sister was making weird and scary faces to her. It was fun. It's been a while since I felt like that. But of course I would never be a part of this group of girls. It got really late when we decided that it was time to go to sleep. Handong was going to sleep in her bed with Dami. Bora and Siyeon were going to sleep on sleeping bags in Handong's bedroom, me and Minji were going to sleep on sleeping bags in the living room and Gahyeon was going to sleep on the couch. I got in to my sleeping bag and tried to sleep. But of course I had insomnia. Like most of my nights.

After some time, when everyone was asleep, I stood up and went to the kitchen to drink some water. My throat felt dry and I was also feeling hot. I was drinking some water when I heard soft footsteps and the lights in the kitchen turned on. Minji was there rubbing her eyes. She was breathtaking. Even if her hair were messy. She was so beautiful. Damn it Yoohyeon! Get it together!

"Why are you up?" She asked me while yawning. She was cute. So cute. I wanted to grab her cheeks. Damn Yoohyeon! What's wrong with you?!

"I have insomnia." I told her blankly. Great! Now I told her something that I didn't want to, actually. I didn't want her to know.

"Why? I have insomnia too sometimes, cause I'm stressing too much. Are you stressed?" She said while she drank a glass of water too. She then signaled me to sit down on the kitchen table with her.

"No. I just... can't sleep."

"Is it something that happens to you every night?"

"Yeah. Except if I'm really really tired."

"I see. Have you checked it? Have you gone to a doctor to check this?" I shook my head.

"I hope it's not something serious. What do you do most of times to fall asleep?"

"Nothing actually."

"Ok." She said softly. I sat up to go to sleep and she followed me. When I was about to get under the covers Minji spoke again,

"Yoohyeon?"

I nodded waiting for her answer.

"Do you... perhaps want a hug to fall asleep? My mom used to hug me when I couldn't sleep as a kid. I don't know how else to help you." I felt tears in my eyes as she mentioned the word mom. Yeah, my mom used to do the same to me. Aish! I miss her so much! I tried to hold my tears and then turned to face her.

"Yeah... it would be nice of you. Thanks." I didn't know why I agreed to this. But all I knew was that I needed a hug badly at that time. Minji came close to me reading my eyes and my expression and hugged me tightly. She said nothing about my tears. All she did was hugging me. And all I did was crying silently in her arms...
