I have no idea on why I am being dragged by Jennie. I mean I am already feeling sick and she's here pulling me like I'm a sack of rice.

When we got in the car, she immediately drove off without even making sure if I already fastened my seatbelt. I could never. We drove in silence. My head was rested on the window as I watch the trees that we passed by.

Car rides have never been this awkward and silent with her. The tension is so thick that one could cut it with a large knife. No one is uttering a word so all I could hear is the sound of honking cars, and the abnormal beating of my heart. This is not right. Stop that, Y/N! Nothing should happen. Stop whatever you're feeling. You're just gonna hu——

"We're here." I looked out the window and we are indeed home. I was lost in my thoughts. I glanced at Jennie and she was already looking at me.

"Jennie I——" Rude. She got off the car and slammed the door. I thought she's gonna leave me on my own now but she went on my side and opened my door. She helped me get out and lead me inside the house.

"We're home!" I yelled but coughed afterwards. That hurts like shit.

Jennie repeated my words but no one was answering. Odd. It's already 6:45pm. We went at the living room, with her still helping me. There, we saw a note at the table. Jennie grabbed it as she sat me at the couch. She read it out loud.

Great. Now I'm alone with her. Note the sarcasm.

"Can you get on your room on your own?" I simply nodded. "Good. I'll just make some food for us." I nodded once again and left to head upstairs.

When I got in my room, I changed into my favorite shirt and pajamas. I sat on my bed as I put my phone on my bedside table. There, I spot Jennie and I's picture. I grabbed it and smiled at the memory of this picture.

It was us when we were kids. She was 4 and I was 3. We're not even smiling on this one.

Mom called for Jennie as I was already standing there on our garden, wearing the biggest frown ever.

" I heard her shouting at our parents while glaring at me. And I must admit, it hurts for a 3 year old to hear her sister say that.

"This time, it was dad who approached her.

"

I was surprised when she walked towards me on an aggressive pace. In a blink of an eye, I was already on the ground, she pushed me. But no, I'm not the one to back down. I stood up and pushed her as well.

Then in a moment, we started pushing and shouting at each other back and forth.

Our parents eventually managed to come between us and stop the fight. They scolded us for acting that way and being disrespectful towards them. As a punishment, we were forced to hug one another for the picture. And after that, they locked us in a room for a whole day.

And with that, mom's angry voice faded away.

Jennie and I are not like other kids. We don't forgive easily. We hold grudges. I honestly don't remember how and when we started disliking one another. I just know that me "stealing" her doll was the last straw. But after mom locked us up, we reconciled and we are best friends since then.

I didn't realize that I am already crying. I miss Jennie. I miss us. If only I didn't feel that way towards her, then we would still be us like when we were younger, happy and inseparable.

•••

"Hey wake up." I was woken by a familiar voice and a soft tap on my cheek. I opened my eyes and saw the feline eyes that I have always adored since I was a kid. I wish I got the same eye as hers. She's looking at me with so much care and love, just like when we were young.

"Hm. How long was I asleep?"

"An hour and a half I think."

"Wait, that long? Why didn't you wake me up? The food must have been cold now." I said as I struggled to sit but soon was helped by Jennie.

"Because you look so peaceful while sleeping." I blushed hearing those words. That's so wrong, Y/N! Stop! "And no worries about the food. I already heat them before I woke you up."

She placed a small table on my bed with soup, rice, and dumplings. I smiled at her and muttered a thank you.

I started eating and oh boy! I missed her cooking. Mrs. Hwang is always there to cook for us and she cooks really well. But for me, Jennie's cooking is still the best. And I think I said that out loud since her cheeks are now tinted with pink.

"Uhm, did I say that out loud?"

She ducks her head down and just nodded. "Oh well, I'm just stating the truth. Your cooking will always be the best for me." I smiled then continued eating. She blushed more and I can't help but laugh. It feels so good to be talking to her this way again.

After I ate, she brought the dishes back at the kitchen after a short argument on who's taking it. I wanted to bring it down since she already cooked for me but she won't allow me since she said I'm sick. So I just sat here frowning at the door where she left.

Few moments after, she came back inside with a glass of water and a pill on her left hand and a basin on the right.

"Here take this." She gave me the pill and I immediately swallowed it and drank the water.

Jennie sat beside me on the bed as she placed the basin on the table. "How are you feeling?"

"I'm better now. Big thanks to my very good doctor slash cook." I chuckled and she chuckled with me. She wiped my arms and neck. Then she placed the small towel on my forehead.

"How did you even get sick?" I froze. Do I tell her that I haven't been eating well for the past two weeks since I keep thinking about how I feel for her?

Do I tell her that I can't sleep properly because every time I close my eyes, I see her?

And do I tell her that I got soaked in the rain yesterday because I followed her and Tae's small date at the park? I'm a creep, I know but I can't help it. And I can't bring my car since it'll be too noticeable so when the rain poured, I had no choice but to run back home.

No. There is no way I am telling her that.

"I-i uh, i don't eat well since I have no appetite. I can't sleep much because I have loads of work to do. And I got soaked in rain yesterday while walking Mina home."

I lied. But it's partially true since I only didn't tell her the real reason why. And I'm so sorry Mina for dragging you into this lie.

"Mi-mina?" I avoided her eyes and nodded. I'm really sorry, Minari.

"Why, why are you still hanging out with her?"

"What do you mean? She's a part of the student council. And in case you have forgotten, she's our friend." Bad move to involve Mina. Now I know where this is heading.

"And in case you have forgotten too, she hurt you! She broke you, Y/N! Yes, she's our friend but it doesn't change the fact that she used you!" I closed my eyes as a tear fell down. Memories of the Japanese girl and I flooded my mind once again. But aside from those painful memories, I am fighting with Jennie again. I hate this!

"C-can we pl-please not talk about this now?" I pleaded.

"Fine! Go get blinded by her once again!" She yelled and was about to leave. But, I grabbed her wrist and held it tight. But not too tight to hurt her.

"Jennie, please. Just, just stay." She looked back at me and we are now staring at each other's eyes. "I'm sorry that we have to fight again. I'm sorry that I have been distant with you for the past two weeks." She is still glaring at me as I said those words.

"Now you admit that you're ignoring me. I don't understand you, Y/N. But I'm sorry too because I can't stay after how you treated me." She harshly pulled her wrist out of my hold and turned back once again.

I was quick to get out of my bed and is now sitting at its edge, my feet on the floor. I pulled her back once again and hugged her stomach. I buried my face on it while hugging her so tight, afraid that she'll leave again.

"I'm really sorry, Jennie. I'm so sorry. I am sorry too because I'm still not ready to tell you the reason why. But I promise, at the right time, I will. For now, please stay with me." I looked up at her while still hugging her. Her eyes are softer now, just like how I am used to.

"I miss you Jennie. I miss you every day. I hope you can forgive me." I saw her fighting off a smile that is about to break out. I smiled at the sight of that.

"Please. I miss you." This times I am trying to be cute hoping that she'll give in. And I was not wrong because the smile that I missed finally made its way back to her pretty face. She then pat my head and hugged me afterwards.

"Okay, I'll stay. And I forgive you."

We pulled away from each other and she helped me lay on my bed. I patted the space beside me indicating that I want her there. She softly smiled and laid beside me.

"C-can I-I h-ug y-y-you?" I mentally cursed myself for stuttering.

"You're adorable, you know that?" I felt my cheeks heat up when she said that and I swear it is already burning when she grabbed my arm and wrapped it around her. "You don't have to ask anymore. Your hugs are my favorite." She then buried her face on my chest as I rest my head on her head.

"Mandu?"

"Hmm?"

"Jisoo unnie is frustrated that the five of us are never complete anymore. I know that Chaeng and Lisa too. What do you say about all of us going out tomorrow, since it's Saturday? My treat!"

"That would be great! But only if you'll feel 100% better."

"I will be 101% better tomorrow! I'll text the group now." I removed my arm on her and was about to grab my phone when she pulled my arm back and wrapped it around her again.

"I'll text them. Just keep on hugging me." I swear, this girl is the death of me. This is wrong, Y/N! I said stop that! I'm going crazy.

I watched as she struggled to text while being trapped within my arms. She's so adorable! Soon enough, my phone was vibrating continuously.

"Hey, what's happening? What did you say?"

She then lift her hand up and showed me her phone which I might say was very close to me because of our position.

Mandeukie 🌻🥟 : Guys! Do you have plans tomorrow? Please say no because Y/N wants to treat us tomorrow!

Turtle Rabbit 🐢🐰 : Wait OMG! Is this a miracle?! That pabo really needs to treat us after the horrible 2 weeks!

Monkey Lisayah 🙉📷 : Unnie! Don't call her pabo! Only I get to call her pabo because she's MY pabo!

Mandeukie 🌻🥟 : Yah lalalisa! What do you mean yours?!

Monkey Lisayah 🙉📷 : Yow freaking pabo! What the fuck is wrong with you, pabo?! You left me alone with these people, pabo!! You owe me, pabo!!

Chipmunksé 🐿🌹 : That's too much pabo, lisayah. But WOULD THERE BE FOOD, Y/N?!!

Turtle Rabbit 🐢🐰 : Aish, chaeng. Of course there would be food. And by the way, YES I AM FREE TOMORROW!

Chipmunksé 🐿🌹 : YEEEEEEEY! ME TOO!!!

Monkey Lisayah 🙉📷 : ME THREE!

Monkey Lisayah 🙉📷 : Anyway, where's that pabo? Why is she not texting?

Mandeukie 🌻🥟 : She's sick but she would get better tomorrow so we're cuddling right now. So good night! 💋

Mandeukie 🌻🥟 : And stop calling her pabo, lalalisa! Or I'll cut your bangs!

That was the last message I saw as she put her phone away and hugged me tight.

"I'll get back on that monkey for calling me pabo!"

"Mind her tomorrow, Y/N-ssi! Mind me now and let's sleep." With that, she hugged me even tighter as my heart beat even faster.

After trying to calm myself down, I soon drifted off to sleep with her in my arms.
