What is this.
This isn't how things usually go.
Soojin stared at Shuhua and Minnie a bit dumbfounded. You see, when the group prepares for the stage, the usual thing that happens is Shuhua practically (and annoyingly) clinging onto Soojin as she continues to scroll on her phone unbothered. This time though, Soojin looked over to Shuhua and Minnie talking together about some nonsense while standing a bit too close for her liking. Trying her best to ignore whatever has got into her, Soojin continues scrolling on her phone, it doesn't help block out the two members talking to each other happily and getting closer and closer. So as last resort Soojin got up and went to the bathroom, but an escape couldn't even be found there, because Miyeon was occupying it and singing what seems to be a Lady Gaga song.
Alright then.
Soojin went back to the main room where everyone was preparing once again and saw that they're shooting another episode of I-TALK. Yuqi was spouting some nonsense about how great she looks while Soyeon explained the theme of the staging and blah blah, boring things. Soojin looked around and saw that her couch spot was occupied by Shuhua and Minnie. Seriously, why is this bothering her so much???
Minnie soon got up and left to go fuck knows where. All Soojin knew is that her spot is free now so she sat down next to Shuhua. Since it's a tradition at this point, Soojin put her hand on Shuhua's lap, but something wasn't right. The camera came over to them and Shuhua started talking about how she's feeling whilst she casually pushed Soojin's hand away from her.
What..?
Soojin kept a poker face for the sake of this not being filmed and creating rumors, but Shuhua has never once declined physical touch. Hell, she liked it so much, she'd practically overwhelm Soojin with it 'til she got sick of it. Her mind was thinking of everything and nothing. Doing calculations of all of their interactions for the sake of thinking something, but that thinking is overthinking and it's all becoming a mess, a pile of relentless thoughts and all those times they were together. From the very first awkward time they met up until this point. Wait, what was she even thinking about in the first place?
"Soojin?"
Soojin's train of thought ended there as she looked over to that very familiar voice, that voice she remembers once hearing at their dorm when they were roommates, when Shuhua would reach out to her at night with her broken Korean, when she'd comfort her and listen to her worries while barely understanding her.
"Soojin?" Shuhua asked again, a bit more concerned.
"Huh, what?" She finally snapped back from whatever daze she was in.
"Are you alright?" Shuhua placed her hand on Soojin's and suddenly the world felt a little more stable, just for a moment.
"Ah, yes, I'm fine, don't worry." Soojin pulled her usually warm smile, but she felt cornered, as if Shuhua's eyes could see right through her, maybe even see what she herself doesn't see.
"We'll have to go soon. Are you sure you feel well, Soojin?" Shuhua asked, looking her straight in the eyes. Goodness, Shuhua's ability to maintain eye contact is scary sometimes. Soojin got up and reassured the younger one that she feels fine. It's probably lack of sleep.
It's definitely lack of sleep and nothing more.
...
Soojin laid in bed and looked at the ceiling, but looking at a plain wall wasn't much fun so she turned over only to be met with a wall full of pictures of her and her friends. She saw one of her and Yuqi as trainees, then she saw one of her and Minnie and Miyeon in some restaurant, but all those didn't match up to the amount of photos of her and Shuhua. One of them was Shuhua sleeping, another is a secret pic Shuhua took of herself, then there's them borderline kissing.
Oh yeah, kissing. To be quite honest, all that fanservice of members kissing each other got on her nerves, it felt stupid to kiss just purely for the entertainment of fans. Yet when it came to Shuhua... She didn't mind it as much. Is it annoying at times? Yes. Is it too much at times? Yeah. Does she want Shuhua to stop? ...
....
.......
I mean the obvious answer is yes, but that doesn't feel quite correct...
...And the silence doesn't help at all.
Soojin groaned as she put a pillow on her face. She usually controls her emotions no problem, but these days it's like they're eating her from the inside out and she doesn't even understand why. Soojin looked over to the picture wall once more, admiring the Taiwanese girl until her eyes meet a picture of her and Soyeon. Right, Soyeon might be of help.
But isn't that a little embarrassing? She thought to herself a bit too late as she looked over to the Cube Entertainment building. Knowing Soyeon, she's probably still in the building, in her office, making random melodies.
Not much to lose at this point, I guess.
Soojin knocked on Soyeon's door, somehow feeling embarrassed by this whole situation. I mean, Soyeon relies on Soojin on her during hard times, so paying back with a bit of advice would help, no? Not to mention, Soojin only feels comfortable telling Soyeon about this whole mess that's going on in her head.
"Come in." The person in the room replies and Soojin is relieved to find Soyeon alone. "Soojin?" Soyeon looks at her a bit shocked. It's very rare for the main dancer to come here after work hours. Soyeon quickly pieced it together that if she is here, that means it's something serious. So she let her sit comfortably on a small couch she had and also offered her some dark chocolate. Soojin reluctantly ate a couple of pieces, mainly to calm her nerves.
The nice thing about Soyeon is that she's patient. She continues typing something on her computer as Soojin nervously eats the chocolate. There's no pressure here at all compared to actually recording in a studio. It's as if she can just sit here and sort her thoughts out with Soyeon's presence. Unfortunately though, it's something she has to talk about.
"Um..." Soojin awkwardly started, breaking the somewhat comfortable silence. Soyeon immediately turned around to face her, focusing all attention on hearing what Soojin has to say. "There have been... Things going on in my head... And I'm not sure how to confront them." Soojin tried wording what she wants to say as best as she could.
"Is this about Shuhua?"
Right on the mark.
How does this woman know.
Soyeon, being attentive of her members as always, immediately understands that it is indeed about Shuhua. "Tell me about it." She questions further and now Soojin starts feeling a bit of pressure, saying all this out loud just feels embarrassing.
"I am not sure. It's uh... Embarrassing." Soojin awkwardly continued, earning a giggle from Soyeon.
"More embarrassing than repeating the same line in the studio for 3 hours straight?" She referenced a "fond" memory, making Soojin remember the suffering she sometimes endures during song recordings. "Just tell me how it all started or what's bothering you, I'll try to help as best I can." Soyeon suddenly spoke in a more serious tone, it somehow made Soojin feel a bit better about opening up.
"Well..." She avoided eye contact. "It all started when Shuhua said in a Vlive that she finds Minnie quite charming these days, then she became less affectionate. I mean, it was annoying so that's nice I guess... Also she doesn't call me JinJin often... Or text me as much, or annoyingly flirt as much... It's just. I mean I'm glad, because it was annoying, but it's like there's some problem... It's not that I have feelings for her or anything..." By the end of this, Soojin was practically blushing, Soyeon's gaze at that moment felt all too much.
"There you go doing that thing again." Is all Soyeon says after a moment of silence.
"What thing?" Soojin finally looks up, a bit curious.
"Pretending that you hate the affection. If you truly have no feelings for her, you'd feel indifferent to the lack of it." Soyeon said straightforwardly, making Soojin feel taken aback.
She doesn't have feelings for Shuhua, though.
They're just good friends.
All that clinginess is for fanservice.
Shuhua is just affectionate.
There's no romance involved....
"And you're doing that thing again." Soyeon once again calls her out and Soojin snaps out of her thoughts. "Don't overthink it, whether you love her as a friend or more, just know that we all support you. Figuring things out like this takes time. Just take things slow, process what you feel one by one, whichever becomes your true feelings is valid either way. Shuhua is an understanding girl and you know that. Maybe she's also going through something like this. Just... Take some time for yourself to calmly address everything and talk to her. Okay?" Soyeon ended her speech that made Soojin feel much more better, like a weight was lifted off her shoulders. Is this how Soyeon would feel after she'd ask advice from her?
"Thank you." Was all Soojin could muster up before hugging the leader. She's a leader for a reason, and she's wonderful at being one.
~~~~~~~
Soojin found herself in a similar situation as before, just a bit worse.
Way, way worse.
This time it's not about Minnie, though.
It's about Shuhua herself.
Soojin couldn't help herself as looked over to the Taiwanese girl. She was wearing light makeup, yet looked stunning, not to mention she was wearing a somewhat see-through oversized sweatshirt with her black bra a bit visible underneath, pair that with black shorts and you've found a way to officially kill Seo Soojin.
Shuhua has always looked stunning, but today felt like her visual was even more... blinding. Soojin couldn't help but feel like some stupid middle school boy as she admired Shuhua from a distance. They didn't need to preform today, there was just an interview coming up, but Soojin doesn't know if her and her dignity will survive.
After the whole conversation with Soyeon, she found herself more and more conscious of everything involving Shuhua. And it's not just her thoughts, but the way Shuhua moves too. Her shoulder a bit exposed, her hands... Oh my god her hands.
Soojin got up to go the bathroom before she lost track of herself. Confronting feelings is one thing, letting them run loose is another. She would gladly wash her face with cold water to bring some of her sanity back, but she knows that ruining her makeup would bring more harm than good.
As she was walking out the bathroom, she unexpectedly bumped into Shuhua.
"Oh, hi." Shuhua greeted Soojin with a small smile. Why were things so awkward all of a sudden? Why couldn't she just talk to her? What would Soyeon think?
The mere thought of Soyeon finding out about Soojin's hopeless awkwardness is what made Soojin finally take the step she needs.
"...I've been wanting to talk to you about something." She says to the younger girl, expecting a somewhat rejection. To her surprise, Shuhua agreed.
"I've actually also wanted to talk about something." She admits, now Soojin was really nervous. Shuhua extends her hand. "How about we go somewhere more private?"
They walk over (still holding hands) to a small room that seems to be something similar to a lounge. Barely anybody comes here so it's perfect.
As they walk into the room, before Shuhua can even say anything, she suddenly trips on a cloth, sending her straight to the floor. In a futile attempt to save her, Soojin powerfully pulls Shuhua towards her.
And that would be a good thing if physics wasn't a thing and Shuhua didn't full force bump into Soojin, sending them both on the floor.
"Are you okay-" Before Soojin completely finished her sentence, she was taken back to reality and the awfully cliché position they were in.
They were both laying on the floor, Soojin close to the wall as Shuhua laid on top of her, her hands pretty much pinning her down, her hips on Soojin's legs.
Soojin could tell that Shuhua wanted to get off of her out of respect, but no one made the move to do so. It's as if they're using this situation as a pathetic excuse to stay closer.
"Jinjin..." Shuhua finally said something after the deafening silence. She had her hands placed next to Soojin's, not breaking any eye contact as she was practically on top of her.
Goodness, she's beautiful.
Soojin wanted to lean in, to stay closer like they used to be.
"What is it that you wanted to tell me?" Shuhua reluctantly started the conversation without moving an inch. This closeness felt like additional pressure to Soojin.
"Uh..." The older one could barely speak, captivated by the younger one. She could hear muffled sounds of her consciousness telling her to get a grip, but all she could pay attention to was her lips.
Oh.
Oh.
"Shuhua, I-"
"LET'S GO I FINALLY WON THE-" The two girls turned around to see a shocked faced Yuqi holding a phone with some sort of video game on. She looked flabbergasted at the sight that unfolded before her. Soojin laying on the floor as Shuhua basically pins her down.
"Wait, Yuqi!" Shuhua quickly got up, but the effort was wasted as Yuqi ran away. Shuhua looked back at Soojin, a bit distressed.
"I'll text you later." Was all she said in a quick, more high pitched voice than usual before running away to find Yuqi. Soojin got up and stood there, dumbfounded. They have an interview coming up too, but how is she supposed to function properly after all of this.
And was she really about to kiss Shuhua right then and there..?
~~~~~~~
Soojin was back at her house once again, the interview went smoothly although she could feel the awkwardness lingering around during the whole shoot. Before spiraling down into another overthinking episode, her doorbell rang. Soojin hesitantly got up to go see who's at the door.
Miyeon?????
Soojin opened the door whilst Miyeon immediately dramatically let herself in with an overdramatized groan.
Okay, what is happening.
"Hello to you too?" Soojin said, looking at the elder girl taking off her shoes and practically running to the living room. She walked over next to Miyeon and suddenly her expression went from dramatic to serious.
"We need to talk." She stated.
Uh oh.
"...Do you want tea first or..?" Soojin suggested, mainly to buy herself some time for an escape plan.
"No, sit down." Miyeon patted the space next to her. Soojin complied, fidgeting with her hands.
"I was sent here by Soyeon." Miyeon starts and Soojin could feel herself sweating already.
"...May I ask why?"
"Listen, I know young love is wild and all, but you can't make out in public places! That's indecency! We, as a group, need to stay professional so that-" Miyeon's wholehearted rant was cutoff by Soojin.
"What are you even talking about?" Soojin looked at her with the most confused expression the woman has ever witnessed.
"You? Shuhua?" She asked, her voice now less confident and smaller, her hands making a kissing motion.
"Oh my god." Soojin placed her palm over her forehead and dropped onto the couch.
"...She took me to sky?"
"Listen." Soojin stated. "I don't know what Yuqi told you, but-"
"Yuqi? I got that from Soyeon."
"What."
"And Soyeon got that from Yuqi and Minnie."
"What."
As if this whole stupid situation couldn't get any worse, Soojin had another guest.
"Soojin? Miyeon?!" Minnie exclaimed as she saw the two. "I noticed you didn't close the door and uhm... I came her totally not to talk to you." Minnie awkwardly smiled.
In that moment, Soojin pondered whether or not the quickest way she can kill herself is with a kitchen knife or scissors.
"Ah, come in then! We were talking about a serious topic!" Miyeon smiled a bit too gleefully as she looked at Minnie. At that moment, Soojin became homophobic.
"As your Unnies, we will gladly help with what you're dealing with, Soojin." Minnie smiled at Soojin, teasing her.
"Me and Shuhua are not dating. The whole situation was misinterpreted by Yuqi." Soojin stated her point with anger heard in her voice. The two older girls looked at her, confused.
"You weren't making out?"
"Or flirting?"
"YOU AREN'T DATING?" Miyeon suddenly came to a realization and even stood up from the couch.
"What made you think we're dating?!" Soojin looked at the two with a confused expression. Miyeon and Minnie just looked over to each other with faces that scream 'my life is a joke'.
"You look at her as if she's the most precious thing in the world, you take pictures of her all the time, you cook for her, you buy each other matching items, Shuhua is practically always on a verge of kissing you, you both look at each other's lips all the time, you both have cuddled more than Miyeon goes to the bathroom, you constantly call each other, you said in an interview that you can't live without her, you have nicknames for each other, you have a huge soft spot for her, you both can't leave each other alone and you always somehow mention Shuhua in your Vlives." Minnie said the whole rant in a speed that might even compare to Eminem. Soojin stood there, dumbfounded once again.
"But. You and Shuhua? Well, like..." Soojin tried making a point, some point to prove that there's no romance.
Oh.
Oh my god.
"Me and Shuhua what?" Minnie asked and Miyeon immediately understood what was happening.
"Oh? Is our Soojin jealous?" She had that shit eating grin on her face that Soojin had no way of taking off so she just hid her face with both of her palms in frustration.
"Dude, you weren't aware of the feelings you have for her?" Minnie looked at Soojin with confused eyes, all Soojin did was nod in shame as she still hid your face.
"Okay. I was sent by Soyeon of all people for a reason." Miyeon stated seriously and put both of her arms on Soojin's shoulders. "We give you a good outfit, Minnie will buy you a box full of chocolates and some flowers, you go to Shuhua's house and confess FOR ONCE." She emphasized the last part with her unnecessarily loud voice.
"Wha... There's no way I'm doing that."
...
They've found a way for her to do that.
Soojin stood like an idiot in front of Shuhua's house door. She was wearing a half buttoned white button up, black pants, black turtle neck shirt along with a couple of accessories and of course, red lipstick. Miyeon and Minnie have tortured the hell out of her while picking the outfit, if she were to choose between making the outfit with those two or recording a song with Soyeon, she'd choose the latter. Not to mention she held an embarrassing heart shaped box full of chocolates and a bouquet of flowers. It was becoming evening too with just how long this whole outrageous preparation took. The walk here was no better either since she caught the attention of everyone whether it's a good thing or not.
A part of Soojin wanted to just turn back, but knowing Miyeon, Minnie and maybe even Soyeon, it would not end well for her.
Not much to lose at this point I guess.
Soojin rang the doorbell and was greeted by the most beautiful woman she had ever laid her eyes upon. Wow, was she actually always this whipped for her? Shuhua was in an oversized sweatshirt that she gave her while wearing the same black shorts from earlier this morning. Soojin was about to greet Shuhua, but noticed her staring for a bit too long at her outfit.
"Checking me out?" She has no idea where the burst of confidence came from in Soojin, must be Miyeon rubbing off of her.
"A- wha- hi Jinjin!" Shuhua hugged Soojin in a futile attempt to hide her blush and the fact that she was indeed checking her out, but Soojin caught a glimpse of it. "What are you um... What is all this?" She asked after the hug, looking at the chocolates and flowers.
Okay, now this feels a bit awkward.
"They're for you." Soojin extends the gifts, but Shuhua just looks at her in shock.
"Am I dreaming?"
"No?"
"Are you even real?"
"Yeah???"
Shuhua took the gifts with an awfully happy grin on her face and gladly let Soojin into her house to get attacked by Haku and Mata. She took off her shoes and came to the living room together with Shuhua.
"You told me you'd text." Soojin awkwardly started some sort of conversation to try and at least get something accomplished from this mess.
"Oh, right. Sorry, I was just busy afterwards. I went to a restaurant with Yuqi to try and explain to her the... you know. But she dragged me along to the arcade after and also told me that she told the other members." Shuhua looked like she felt guilt. "I'm sorry, I tried stopping Yuqi, but she started loudly talking to the members about some bet." She awkwardly laughed.
"Hey, don't say sorry." Shuhua's words dawned on Soojin. "Wait... They made a bet?" She asked.
"A bet on us getting together. Like, who'd make the first move or something." Shuhua admitted a bit embarrassed and sat on the couch. "But Yuqi didn't know who actually made the first move."
Oh my god. The pieces all came together. Soyeon knowing that the problem is Shuhua, Minnie getting clingy to Shuhua to make Soojin do the first move, Miyeon coming over, Minnie coming over and them making Soojin confess like this.
"...Well that explains a lot." Soojin said as she sat on the couch. The two of them sat in silence for a bit.
"I still didn't tell you what I wanted to say, you didn't either." Shuhua started again, looking Soojin in the eyes.
"Ah, um, how about you start?" Soojin suggested, noticing Shuhua panic internally for a second.
"Maybe at the same time?"
"What is there to say at the same time?"
"Oh, yeah." Shuhua realized and looked to the floor.
Wait wait wait wait no nononononono why does Shuhua look sad? What is there that they can say at the same time? Soojin isn't good at romance mission abort please.
Despite all the racing thoughts, Soojin willed herself enough to talk about what's bothering her.
"Do you hate me?" She asked, straightforward and Shuhua looked at her with a confused expression.
"Huh?!" It's like that sentence brought back a more lively Shuhua, the Shuhua Soojin knows all too well.
"I mean... You don't uh... Well..." Soojin could feel herself blush as Shuhua never once stopped staring at the girl.
"What? What is it?!"
"Do you... Why are you... Well, why aren't you as affectionate?" She weakly asked, embarrassment flowing trough every nerve in her body.
"I thought you disliked it..." Now it was Soojin's turn to be confused. I mean yeah, she acted like she dislikes the pda, but was it not obvious that she's acting? Did the amazing telepathy not telepath anymore??
"Why would I ever..." She started, but Shuhua continued.
"Well you said in an interview that it's too much, you usually get away from the camera when I come in and you generally never showed much affection back so I asked Soyeon about it and she told me to give you some space."
Oh, that asshole knows that Soojin enjoys the affection, there's no way she planned all this for a bet.
No fucking way.
"Shuhua," Soojin placed her nervous hand on the younger girl's. "I admit, at first it was annoying, but I can't help, but miss it." She explains, her blush obvious at this point.
Shuhua's eyes opened more in shock. "You miss it? Why?"
"Because..." Because I love you, because you mean the world to me and I want to be yours and no one else's. Soojin wanted to explain, but it's like the words were stuck in her throat, unable to escape. She looked into Shuhua's eyes, her gaze had nothing more than care and maybe possibly unexpectedly love in it. Soojin knows that Shuhua will understand her in one way or the other, like how she understood her during trainee years.
"I dressed up, got you flowers and chocolates. I think you know what I'm trying to express." Soojin explained and didn't even notice how close the two were on the couch, the atmosphere filled with words one wants to say to another yet can't express.
"I love you." It slips out like a whisper from Soojin who didn't even realize she said it because her mind was on the younger girl's face only.
"I love you too." Shuhua whispered with a soft smile in the most loving tone she has ever heard.
And it was all for Soojin to hear.
For Soojin to experience.
And for Soojin to realize that this is the one she truly loves with all her heart.
They lean in with a kiss, they've kissed before, but this is different. It's not fanservice or acting, it's pure affection, an action full of love and longing.
Shuhua suddenly pulls away with a gasp and covers her mouth, the whole situation registering in her brain.
"YOU LOVE ME BACK?!" She shouts, a little louder than intended.
"Was it not obvious?!" Soojin shouts back and is basically tackled by Shuhua as she falls fully on the couch. Shuhua hugged her as if she's the most precious thing she can hold in this entire universe.
"Shu- Shu I can't breathe-"
...Maybe a bit too precious.
They both calmed down and Shuhua made some tea for the both of them while also dipping the flowers in a vase.
"So let me get this straight..." Shuhua began as she sat down on the couch next to Soojin and offered her a cup of tea. "Miyeon and Minnie practically planned all this for you to confess?" She questioned while picking up a chocolate and eating it.
"Yeahhh..." Soojin admitted.
"And you agreed?"
"They said they'd make bass boosted loud rooster noises nonstop next to me if I didn't." That made Shuhua laugh and she leaned onto Soojin's shoulder.
"I guess I should thank them, then." She smiled softly, a sight that Soojin can never get enough of.
"Does that make us girlfriends, then?" Soojin asked and Shuhua giggled in return.
"I'd say we were already like girlfriends, but yes."
There's a way more important matter to discuss, though.
"What do we tell the others?" Soojin asked. "I kind of feel betrayed that the others made a bet off of this."
"Hmm..." Shuhua got off of Soojin's shoulder and whispered in her ear. "We pretend like nothing happened." That sent shivers down Soojin's spine. How can this woman be so seductive yet cute at the same time with that adorable yet mischievous smile of hers.
"They'll find us insufferable."
"That's the point." Shuhua smiled once more and kissed Soojin.
"I actually think I'm in heaven." The Taiwanese girl admitted and the evening continued with the both of them sharing stories of how they realized they love each other, how would others react and a bunch more topics. Soojin ended up staying overnight and the two finally settled this whole ordeal.
Well, there's still one thing.
The bet.
~~~~~~~
"Jinjin!" Shuhua clinged onto Soojin like a Koala as they sat on the same couch, preparing for the stage, already in their outfits.
"What is it?" She smiled softly at the younger, her face closer than usual.
"Do you think we should go eat together later?" Shuhua asked, her hands all over Soojin, but not enough to be considered public indecency.
"What if we bake together?" Soojin played along with the cringy clingy game those two made to piss off the rest of the members. She could notice the others look at them and share curious glances. Feeling bold, Soojin leans her face closer to Shuhua's, almost kissing and that's where Miyeon had to cut them off.
"Alright, okay, we get it, you're a couple." She whined, annoyed.
"Huh?" Shuhua and Soojin looked at her with confused expressions.
"Miyeon Unnie, we're just friends." She smiled and Miyeon immediately death glared Soojin who made an 'oops' face instead. Suddenly, Yuqi comes in and sees the two clinging onto each other.
"Well? Who made the first move?" She smiles, but it quickly disappears as she realizes they're not a couple yet.
"But you've been clinging onto each other like some highschool couple who can't stay at least one minute without touching each other." Soyeon added.
"That's how strong sisterly love is." Shuhua claimed with a serious face and Soojin had to use every fiber in her body not to laugh. "Besides, I like women who have a mole under their left eye."
"What a coincidence, I have that." Soojin played along, acting dense.
"JUST TAKE THE HINT ALREADY I BEG." Miyeon frustratingly groaned and put her hands on Minnie as a means of staying somewhat sane.
"Why does it matter to you guys anyway?" Soojin asked as if she didn't know the answer already. The other 4 members stood silently, but one couldn't take it anymore.
"WeMadeABetThatYoudGetTogetherAndSoojinWouldMakeTheFirstMove." Yuqi quickly spurted it out and the other 3 sighed in disappointment.
"How dare you guys?!" Shuhua acted angry.
"YOU ALREADY KNEW!" Yuqi got on her knees with defeat.
"Well, I told you there's no point in making a bet." Soyeon stated.
"I did make the first move though." Shuhua proudly admitted, earning looks from the group.
"Wait-"
"We're a couple." Soojin admitted, getting bored of the whole act and the whole group sighed in defeat.
"HOW DARE YOU ALL NOT BELIEVE I'D MAKE THE FIRST MOVE!?" Shuhua stood up and yelled, only the two of them knowing that the truth is a bit more different than that.
It's nice to keep a little secret or two though :)
