“Don’t you ever wonder what other people think about you?”
“Not really… why?”
“I guess it’s just the whole ‘wanting to know what other people’s opinions on you are’ I guess… I don’t know.”
“What’s with the sudden question? You never really think about this stuff.”
Seoyeon paused for a moment before continuing: “Yooyeon unnie?”
Yooyeon hummed in response.
“What do you think of me?” Seoyeon asked.
Yooyeon wonders, what does she think of her bestfriend?
Well, for starters, she thinks Seoyeon is beautiful, the most beautiful girl she’s ever seen. She can’t stare at Seoyeon for too long or she would literally stare at her for hours.
She thinks Seoyeon has the most beautiful heart too. Seoyeon always gives more love than she receives. She always puts others in front of her. She aids Yooyeon when Yooyeon is in need of help.
She thinks that Seoyeon is such an all rounded person. From her personality, to her appearance, to her overall self. Yooyeon thinks she loves to be around Seoyeon. She loves talking to Seoyeon. She loves how Seoyeon can be patient with everyone. How much of a brain worker Seoyeon is.
(Seriously, Yooyeon doesn’t think she could get around to solving half the things she has problems with if she didn’t ask for Seoyeon’s advice.)
She thinks ever since she met Seoyeon, she’s made her life so much brighter. Life used to be so boring, doing the same thing everyday until Seoyeon came out of nowhere and completely switched everything around for her, and she’s grateful for it.
She met Seoyeon a couple years ago, just when they were about to start their university life. The first day of first year had Yooyeon very nervous as she walked into the classroom. She sat down next to a girl she didn’t even bother glancing over at, she just saw the seat empty and close by to the entrance. She finally glanced over to the girl sitting on her right, just a quick peek to see who she will be spending the next two and a half hours with.
She only saw the girl’s side profile as she was working away in her notebook. She thought the side profile of this girl was (and still is) the prettiest side profile she had ever seen. The girl finally turns around and meets Yooyeon’s eyes, she smiles at Yooyeon. Yooyeon froze; she believes her heart did a little jump. The girl introduced herself as “Yoon Seoyeon” and Yooyeon shyly introduced herself as well.
And ever since then, Yooyeon sat beside Seoyeon in these long lectures because she found the girl very interesting. They eventually became very close.
And now here they are, their final year of undergrad. Ready to graduate soon.
Yooyeon snaps back to reality when she hears Seoyeon call her name.
“Yooyeon unnie? Are you there?” Seoyeon asks while waving her hand slowly in front of Yooyeon’s face.
Yooyeon blinks a few times.
“Uh…”
Without thinking, Yooyeon grabs Seoyeon’s shoulders and hugs her.
“I think you’re the best thing that’s ever happened to me,” Yooyeon whispers into Seoyeon’s ear.
Seoyeon pulls them back with an unreadable expression on her face, her arms still draping over Yooyeon’s shoulders. Seoyeon looks deep into Yooyeon’s eyes. She smiles widely.
And then Yooyeon realizes how close she is to Seoyeon’s face and her heart beats a little faster.
Yooyeon also realizes at that moment that she’s in love with her, she’s so in love with her, she’s head over heels for her.
I’m so in love with you it’s killing me.
“What?”
“...What?”
And Yooyeon then finds out she said that out loud when she wasn’t supposed to.
“You said you are so in love with me that it’s killing you?”
“Uh—well you see—”
Yooyeon didn’t finish her sentence because she felt lips on her forehead.
Then she felt them on her nose.
And then she felt them on her lips.
She felt them on her lips for quite a while; she doesn’t even think she could tell how long they were there for because she just completely stopped thinking at that moment.
“I love you too.”
Yooyeon smiled so hard, the hardest she ever had before.
