Illusions
CHAPTER 3 (Part 1)

"I know that you love dolls and funny toys. I know you collected that with me. I'm sorry our love days never last. I'm sorry that I've taken such memories from you. Let me make it up to you. "

"Where are we going?" Yeri asked in a bored tone that was obvious in her voice. He did not want to show Suho, who had helped him so much over the past week, to seem ungrateful by at least holding back the irritated feelings on Suho's spontaneous trip. Suho, fortunately, seemed oblivious to his feelings and continued walking in front of him while humming the song.

"I told you, we'd meet Sehun." Suho said quite happily, as he stepped with his foot. Yeri tries not to complain with Suho's cheerful and twinkle-in-eye behavior, and his mental. God, shadow. Did Suho secretly think that he was a "two" people?

"Where will we meet Sehun, *****." Yeri asked back, a frowning frown on her face.

Suho had jumped into Yeri's room, the right room, which Suho gave to Yeri in his large house. After Suho takes Yeri out of her house, and tells her to dress beautifully, put on perfume - Yeri has sniffed herself to make sure - and gets herself ready to go. Suho did not say what to wear or where they were going, so Yeri quickly picked up the clothes carelessly consisting of a pair of faded blue tight jeans, and a cashmere shirt.

"Oh," Suho stopped his steps, who was walking beside him. "Sun. He finally got an A on the math test and he invited us all to eat."

Sehun was in the accounting major and it surprised himself, it was because he was terrible at summing two numbers and even worse at multiplying them. Yeri took it too much when Suho told her about the boy, but Yeri left with wide-eyed eyes as he witnessed it himself. Sehun is so bad with numbers that Yeri doesn't even know why he majored at it. Sehun said that it was pressure from his family, and Yeri immediately understood. Yeri majored in Law for exactly the same reason. He preferred astronomy to anything related to human wisdom. The outside world was more suitable for him than the grounded places on this earth.

"Suhun treat everyone?" Yeri widened her eyes. If Sehun is bad at anything about numbers, then Sehun could be worse at money. Then again, they seemed to be on the same ship. To save money, Sehun needed a way that definitely used numbers, and certainly he could not. "With his own money?" Sehun also includes people who like something cheap.

"Can you believe it?" Ask Suho. "I'm still overwhelmed with excitement because of that damn thing! I felt like I was being tricked by him! "

Yeri shook her head in disbelief, her choking laughter threateningly bursting out from her lungs, an amused laugh at Suho's excessive excitement.

He walks with Suho in silence as Suho babbles everything at the same time, which floods his mind and turns him into an irregular pile of paper. He owes Suho an ear (because it was Suho who listened to his curses), though, after what Suho did, so he closed the ugly comments in his lips.

After offering her the same helping hand that Jungkook offered her several times and finally daring to accept it, Suho immediately took her out of the rough neighborhood where he lived. Suho was rich and he had plenty of spare rooms in his house. Suho offered her one until her condition was more stable, although Suho wanted to give it to her permanently if it wasn't for his refusal. He hates being in debt to others, especially people he considers his best friend. He knew Suho for a month, now two months, and he was still not in the stage where he could offer such large items as a house. However, Yeri could not be too picky when faced with this problem, so she agreed.

Suho tells her that he will hire a lawyer who is good enough to be able to win her case. Yeri immediately said no. They were his parents, and he had seen many failed cases of violence because there was not enough evidence. By the time things really move forward, his bruises will have faded and he is the one who was forced to return to live with his parents, or worse, to be imprisoned for false evidence and slander. His own parents were respected lawyers, no one would believe him. Moreover, he was already an adult who would ask a lot of questions like "why don't you go?" So he chose to go quietly without saying anything to anyone, or to them. They won't be able to make a kidnapping case because he left voluntarily and he's not a minor. He just settled down with a peaceful way out.

Suho disliked it, of course, because Suho felt they needed to be punished for years for the violence that Yeri had to experience. He believes they are at a lower level, which needs to be demanded. He mentioned something about his cousin who had experienced the same thing and had received a terrible future all his life. He didn't want that to happen to Yeri. Moreover, the redemption money would give Yeri some sort of arrogance. But Yeri refused until the end. He tells Suho that they are still his parents despite something bad happening, and he does not want to be low to the same level as them.

When they were already at the restaurant, Suho stopped, turned towards him with a sullen face, and raised his hand to block the entrance. Yeri gave him a look of curiosity.

"Before we enter, there are two things I want to know first."

"Seriously?" Yeri sighed.

"Yes," Suho nodded seriously. "One, how are you feeling right now?"

Suho talked about how he brought her from his home and his parents didn't even look for her or care in the slightest. It looks like someone is shouting "congratulations!" Right on Yeri and Suho's face didn't like it at all. Yeri's parents were the worse kind of person according to Suho, but Suho felt it was a bit overwhelming not to ask anything about Yeri. Is there anyone in this world who has a child if they do not want to raise him?

"Honestly? I'm a little disappointed" whispered Yeri, fiddling with her fingers. "At least I thought they were going to call my phone, wondering where I was. But they don't even care. All they did was send me a text message wondering when I'd come home to get punished. That's ..." Yeri stopped as if confused what word she was going to use. Suho helped her generously.

"disgusting?"

"That's not the word I was looking for," Yeri muttered, looking at Suho in a way that told Suho that he was very uncomfortable with this conversation, yet he himself did not know how to end it.

"That was the exact word they deserved," Suho spontaneously growled softly, curling his hands into tight fists. "They're so disgusting, I'm still amazed by how low they are."

Yeri remained silent, trying to turn away from Suho because he did not know what to say. Thankfully, Suho did not see how hesitant he was and just thought he was reluctant to be part of this conversation. However, Suho still asked his question.

"OK, for the next question," Suho raised his two fingers with emphasis. "Are you ready to meet everyone? With Jungkook?"

Yeri hasn't told her that she's gone and seen Jungkook and how ugly their interactions are. It was not that he was hiding it, or anything like that, there was no good chance where he could talk about this. In addition, she considers this a secret part if she and Jungkook are alone, and no one needs to know or should know about it.

"Um, are they angry?" Yeri looks very nervous, her eyes widen, and Suho takes this opportunity to become a shitty person.

"Chaffles."

"really?" Yeri sighed, biting her fingers nervously.

"Smoke!" Suho exclaimed happily, wrapping his hands. If Suho wasn't his friend, Yeri would have bullied him in an unpleasant place. "Where did Yeri go? They're just worried. "

"OK, okay," Yeri rolled her eyes, but she really just wanted to hit Suho now. "I'll meet them."

"You're saying it as if you're considering making amends for your mistakes!"

Yeri did not say anything to confirm his words but Suho knew it was true. Yeri pushed her backpack so that Suho kept walking and did not make a fuss and Suho shouted.

"Yerin..." Suho tried to say something, but Yeri rushed past him and entered the restaurant, leaving him.

The restaurant was not expensive (since Sehun certainly could not afford to pay at the expensive restaurant), but it had a classy taste mixed with a cozy atmosphere that made bubbles of strange feelings inside him. He walked further inside and past the heavy tables filled with people as he searched for his friends. He found them immediately, at a large back table, which was enough for twelve people. There were three new people that Yeri could not recognize and before Suho could follow him, he rushed towards them. Almost immediately, they found him, and he stopped in front of their table, taking a small prayer between his hands.

Kyungsoo looked at it, and his eyes widened. Before Yeri can consider staying or running away, Kyungsoo opens his mouth.

"Well, well, well. See who decides to bless us with his presence after closing our call! "

"It's so rude." Sehun.

Yeri was annoyed by the humiliation. He knew they had no idea what had happened to him other than the fact he had suddenly moved into Suho's house, so he didn't take their words to heart. He opened his mouth to speak but Chanyeol defeated him. His strange eyes flickered and he knew they were just messing with him.

"Where have you been all this time, ma'am? Hiding like a hermit under the stone? I'm very, very surprised how long people can stay in their homes without fresh air."

Once again Yeri wants to open her mouth to speak but Kai, who has never been around her because of her overworked parents, speaks.

"I feel like I should have said something, but I don't have anything to say." Kai smiled amusedly. "I'm not too close to myself either."

Jungkook just glared, and Yeri noticed that, but she also noticed how hard Jungkook was curling his fists on the table, anger seeping through his armor like molten steel. Yeri did not stare at him for a long time so as not to arouse suspicion or anger him more than before, as Yeri spoke next.

"Guys, come on." He waved his hands, walked towards them and grabbed Kyungsoo's chair, lowering his head down to stare at Kyungsoo. He noticed there were others he didn't know but he held his tongue and instead stared intently at the boy he knew. "You jerk. Do you know that?"

"It's not us who disappear and ignore the world for two weeks." Kyungsoo immediately replied.

"We're not the jerks here, Yeri." Once again, Sehun's eyes sparkled. He wasn't sure if they were serious right now or mocking him. Kyungsoo's blank face didn't say anything to her.

"Okay, alright!" Yeri exclaimed, throwing her hand excessively. "I'm sorry, I hurt your fragile feelings. Do you want me to sit on my knees and beg? "

"Hmm, that would be a great sight to see, you kneel." Kyungsoo hummed, rubbing both his hands evilly. This time, Yeri caught a spark of amusement on her face.

"Guys, stop," Jungkook surprised them, he interrupted and Yeri was happy with it. He spoke after more silence. He interrupted their nonsense, and he stood up for her. But he instantly shattered Yeri's fantasy by saying, "They don't even know who she is. Don't make them think you're more stupid than he is. "

The new children, the three of them, sneered at Jungkook. Yeri did not want to show him that his words managed to affect him more than he wanted to believe, so he secretly pouted.

"Sit down next to Kyungsoo, Yeri!" Suho exclaimed from behind him, suddenly coming up with three boxes of tissues encircling his arms. As soon as he sat down next to Kyungsoo, the boy grinned at him, Suho took his place beside him, literally throwing a tissue on a crowded table. Yeri looked across and saw one of the strangers looking at her, smiling with a sweet smile at her. He smiled back. Next to him, Jungkook sat down, and he showed a sullen face to her when their eyes met.

"Are you never going to introduce us or something? I feel like the third person here." One of the foreign boys said. She has slippery chipmunk cheeks and single eyelids. She looked like a five-year-old if not for the wine glass in front of her, Yeri would have thought she was really a toddler.

"Agreed." The other man agreed, the same person who was in front of him with a sweet smile. Yeri stared at him a little longer as he spoke, studying his facial features. She has high cheekbones, a corner face and a pair of pretty lips that she has ever seen. His hair was bleached and coated with curls over the frame of his head. She's hilarious. But nothing is more cute than Jungkook (in his opinion). When thinking about the man, Yeri glanced at him. Jungkook glared at him with a sort of anger that he tried to hide but still seeped out of him like heavy rain. The clear emotion of his unhappiness brought a smile on Yeri's face. Jungkook is very grumpy, adorable boy.

"You can tell him your name," Suho narrowed his eyes to his "new" friends. They cleared their throats in embarrassment. "Why are you guys acting like you have shame? You'll introduce yourself well if we're not here. "

"Agreed." The one in front of him said again, his face was like an empty canvas, an empty expression. Yeri chuckled a little, and hearing her giggle, the man smirked at her, winking kindly.

"I'm Minseok" said the five-year-old, sipping his wine. "This is Yixing, and the one in front of you is Jongdae."

They gave him a smile and Jongdae's smile still resembled a grin.

"I am Yeri" he said, narrowing his eyes. "Are you secretly collecting beautiful boys or something?" Even though the question was for all the boys here, he was really just staring at Jongdae. Her smile was beautiful and there was a hint of damage in her eyes that seemed to be pulling herself attentively towards him. Jongdae noticed that he was looking at her and smiled, the tip of his lips curving upwards.

"Wow." Jongdae laughed, his laughing voice resonating loudly to the wall. Even so, there was something very gentle about his attitude. "You mean we're a bunch of pretty boys?"

"Of course," Yeri replied easily, smiling. "Didn't you look at yourself in the mirror? Or do you have a weird humility syndrome because the name of a man doesn't match yours. "

Both Yixing and Minseok blushed, while Jongdae laughed again. Yeri smiled again at the success of her joke which lightened the atmosphere. Normally, he would not be this kind and cheerful, but this was a new beginning for him and he sought to become the new Yeri, the Yeri untainted by pain and suffering; Yeri who laughs, smiles, and jokes with her friends.

Yeri once again looked at Jungkook - it seemed like he could do nothing or say anything without looking at Jungkook. Is he seeking approval? Not very. Yeri looks for a reaction - and Jungkook does nothing, not even reply. In fact, Jungkook looked at his hand, which was wiggling his fingers, and pretended to be invisible. However, Yeri could still catch the fiery red hue on Jungkook's cheek, either out of anger or embarrassment; he was unsure.

"Sehun-ah," Suho called out as silence began to fall on them, flashing at the younger ones. Sehun prepared himself. "How much money do you have? Because I won't pay a dime. "

Sehun looked confused, his cheeks flushed, "Hyung! What if you like**** eat a lot and my money is not enough? "

"It's not my problem," Suho sneered. "You know how much we eat, but you decided to treat us. It's your fault."

"Don't worry, Sehun," the new Yeri said softly, giving Sehun an encouraging look. "I'll eat only one plate and slap the hands of those who want more."

Sehun seemed to feel relieved by it, sighing deeply through his nose. "Thank you, I love you, marry me."

"What the fuck?" Jungkook immediately turned his head towards Sehun, who looked dumbfounded. Yeri bit her lower lip not to laugh like a schoolboy with a crush on Jungkook, while Sehun looked confused.

"Why would anyone want to marry her?" Jungkook stated instead of asking, it sounded very astonished and unconscious which made Yeri's jaw hang in surprise. Then, the pain appeared in Yeri's eyes, and instead of swallowing it, it turned into anger.

Fortunately, Jungkook had been looking at her, seeing that expression pass through her face. Jungkook was a little pale, surprised that Yeri was so affected when he did not even mean to say the words. How did Yeri know that she didn't really want to say that? Is Yeri going to split her head and stare at her mind? He had to be more transparent or push Yeri away like before. Not when Yeri is this soft, her brain whispers, don't push her when she tries.

"He's amazing" Sehun was upset, offended by Jungkook's remark. "You're the ugly one."

Jungkook's eyes widened, and Yeri laughed at his wide eyes.

"Thank you! You're amazing, Sehun." Yeri told Sehun with a sincere smile, and she looked at Jungkook, next with the same smile. "Jungkook is jealous." Yeri stuck out her tongue at Jungkook.

Jungkook is shocked by Yeri's behavior that looks like those kids, at first, but he is more surprised at the twinkle in Yeri's eyes when he looks at her. When was the last time she saw something so brilliant shine in Yeri's eyes for her? Jungkook sighed and looked away from that thought, from Yeri, from the pain it was emitting and from many things at once. She hopes this move really makes her feelings for Yeri really go away, or she will get stuck in that circle of feelings, returning to Yeri over and over again.

"Woah, do you two hate each other or what?" Minseok watched and blinked his eyes from Jungkook then to Yeri, looking puzzled. "I've never seen Jungkook like this before."

Jungkook rolled his eyes. "I don't care much about hating him."

Yeri tried to muffle any sounds or hurtful glances from hearing Jungkook's answer. He had no right to have these feelings, not when he was the cause of Jungkook's cold attitude, to begin with. He turned to Minseok and smiled, making Jungkook gulp. Jungkook has seen Yeri smile a lot lately, and it is a lie if he says that smile does not affect him.

"I don't hate him" Yeri lamented, surprising them at his reply because they really thought that he hated Jungkook. "Actually I like her a lot, and her cute personality. He's just mad whenever I'm around. Doesn't matter. I'm trying to melt it down. "

Everyone looked at him like crazy.

Kyungsoo poked her cheek. "Where did Yeri go?"

Yeri slaps Kyungsoo's finger away. "I'm not going anywhere. I've been getting a clearer perspective lately. I plan on using a better point of view than before. "

The food arrived right after he finished his words, and he did not remember already ordering the food. He then realized that everyone had ordered when he and Suho were not here and had ordered for them as well. Fortunately for him, he was not a picky eater and ate whatever was available. However, the boy next to Jongdae had such a picky taste that sometimes he ate nothing just because the food was not to his liking.

Yeri looked at Jungkook and watched as he took out a plate of his chicken breast with a small pout on his face, the scowl that Jungkook usually does not show when he is around because it is a sign that Jungkook is more relaxed and feels free. If there's something Jungkook doesn't want to show in front of him, it's exactly what it is now.

"Not hungry?" Yeri asked him, and at first, Jongdae thought Yeri called out to him as she raised her head and looked at Yeri, then shrugged when she found Yeri was staring at Jungkook. Jungkook was the last person to lift his eyes from the food and then turn to look at Yeri, then return to his food. Jungkook placed his chin on the palm of the hand, and shrugged his shoulders.

Yeri glanced at her plate, then returned to Jungkook's plate. Yeri knows that Jungkook is a chicken fan, actually, but Yeri is somewhat frustrated by how angry Jungkook is at seeing the food. Okay, Yeri admits Jungkook looks cute with his annoyance and reluctance to eat his food, but he also wants Jungkook to eat. Jungkook has a bad habit of skipping his food for no reason, and if Yeri remembers correctly, Jungkook faces difficulties when looking for a solution.

"Do you want some shrimp of mine?" Yeri asked gently, her chopsticks ready to take some shrimp to Jungkook's plate. Jungkook's eyes widened slightly, and Jungkook silently stared at the shrimp for a long period of time. Yeri smiled, she picked up some shrimp and placed it on Jungkook's plate. Jungkook ate the shrimp in silence, and seeing its inertness, Yeri placed more shrimp onto his plate.

"You can have as much as you want." Yeri says.

"I think you can take my chicken breast," Jungkook muttered softly, but he tried to dampen his words rather than anything, not wanting to spark the attention of nosy kids. Jungkook pushed his plate - after eating the shrimp - with his knuckles towards Yeri. "They're too mature."

Yeri instantly agrees to swap their plates, and Jungkook doesn't show it, but he's a little bit happier to have a meal he likes that tastes delicious. From Jungkook's side, Jongdae stuck out his head to hear their conversation, staring at the chicken breast on Yeri's plate.

"May I have that chicken breast, Yeri?" Jongdae almost sounded brash.

"Of course..." Jungkook wagged Yeri's chopsticks with his before he could drop the chicken breast onto Jongdae's plate, and Yeri looked at him with a flabbergasted expression.

"Hey!" Jongdae exclaimed, his eyes twinkling, and tried to push Jungkook's chopsticks away from Yeri who easily grabbed the chicken breast. Jungkook did not allow him to take the chicken.

"That's the chicken breast you took from me" Jungkook told Yeri furiously, his left eyebrow twitching. "That means they're still mine. I forbid you to give it."

Yeri pressed her lips so she wouldn't laugh while Jongdae's face looked sour, but she swore Jungkook looked like he was enjoying it. Yeri does not know what the man looks like or how his personality is, but it seems that he is quite observant. Faces and personalities like her and her single? The question was on the tip of his tongue and he almost, almost asked her out loud.

"But you gave it to him!" Whiney Jongdae loudly, and if he's not an adult Yeri will think of him as a child.

"It's still mine and I said no!" Jungkook retaliated.

They fought hard, Jungkook poked his chopsticks with Jongdae's while Jongdae yelled and tried to avoid him. They act like premature babies but there is a spark in their eyes, in Jungkook's eyes, which Yeri misses so much. Yeri leaned back on the chair and looked at them, the food was long forgotten.

From the side of his eyes, he did not miss Suho's sneer.

After they eat - which is very messy. Some of them wanted a refill but as promised, Yeri slapped the hands of everyone who wanted it. He is somewhat lenient with Jungkook and secretly gives Sehun extra money for extra food without Jungkook's knowledge - they are all gone. Some boys want to go home, some want Ice Cream, while some, including Suho, want to go to the arcade. Suho's idea actually received the others with a nod of approval, so they all went with Suho, walking in large groups that caught the attention of the people around them.

Yeri stops behind so she can linger behind Jungkook, syncing their legs and trying to make him look accidental. He had no idea why Jungkook was lingering at the end of the group, probably because Jungkook wanted to avoid him, but it worked for him and hence, Yeri walked next to him. He kept a good distance between them so that they did not touch each other's shoulders, and Jungkook instantly noticed it. Jungkook stared at him, narrowing his eyes at Yeri.

"Are you following me?" Jungkook asks her, the volume is less loud than he wants. Yeri shrugged, pretended not to care, and looked forward completely.

"I? Never," Yeri jumped a step on her way and braided her fingers on her lap, making her look very casual. Jungkook did not pay attention to his acting. "I'm just not too interested in hearing Suho's excited complaints."

Jungkook gives her a suspicious look but keeps moving forward, deciding to give Yeri the benefit of her doubt. He took a different route from the others, and as he predicted, Yeri followed suit.

He stopped and turned.

"You follow me," Jungkook pointed at Yeri's feet, pouting. "Stop."

"This is the way of the Lord and I walk on it freely. You can't stop me." Yeri wandered around Jungkook as if making a point, and Jungkook plucked her hair out of her head in frustration.

"Well, I'll take another path then!"

Jungkook took another different path, his steps were long and big, their voices resonating furiously. Yeri followed him again.

"Yerie! Stop that!" Jungkook sounded like he was whining rather than upset, and Yeri bit his lips to stop his laughter from coming out.

"As I said, I didn't follow you," Yeri crossed her arms around her chest. "I just accidentally walked in the same direction as you."

"And why, tell me, are you suddenly interested in the direction of my path?"

"They have a funny game around that corner. I want to give you a teddy." Yeri said it just like that so Jungkook was surprised. Jungkook stopped his steps and in his pouting face he looked at Yeri with wide eyes.

"What?" Jungkook.

"Come, come with me," Yeri actually gave him an arm to pull, walking about a few steps away, "I know you secretly like dolls."

"Pshhh! I don't secretly like dolls!" Jungkook crossed his arms like a scolded child or his secret had been dismantled, that was exactly what happened. Yeri snorted and sounded affectionate.

"Well then, I'll buy it myself. Let's go."

"I'm not going with you." Jungkook stated rather harshly, but then, he moved his legs forward, following Yeri. Jungkook refuses to hold her hand, but it's okay. The fact that Jungkook went with him in silence, and he would take whatever Jungkook actually gave him.

They stopped in front of the dartboard with tons of stuffed toys as gifts. The man behind the board looked bored, but Yeri did not mind. Baekhyun annoyedly looked forward at all the toys presented, his eyes like an annoyed mouse clone. Yeri ignores Jungkook's dislike. He knew Jungkook could not say no to any type of doll, and he was even more of that doll than Yeri.

"Pick one." Yeri ordered the boy next to her. Jungkook snorted in annoyance but while pointing at the largest toy doll, a panda shape, hanging on the left side of the dartboard. The boards were far away which made the bear look smaller than its size, but the panda looked extremely large, almost the size of a human.

"You have to aim the arrow to the middle three times in a row to get the panda." The man behind the table said, his words tangled together with his boredom.

"Are you kidding me?" Jungkook widened his eyes in disbelief, "He'll get ten if he wants. Raise the target a little! "

The man shrugged his shoulders. "It's not my rule, man. That's a good thing, isn't it? Getting ten shots in a row? "

Jungkook ignored the man and looked at Yeri in annoyance. Yeri just smiled, shrugged her shoulders.

"It's a good thing I'm on the school archery team, huh?" Yeri smiled at Jungkook, walked forward towards the toy gun and positioned herself in the correct position. Archery is not the same as shooting with a gun, but they have the same basis. He got eagle-like eyesight after years of practicing archery at school, so getting three targets was an easy allusion. In keeping with Jungkook's prediction, he shot not only three times, but ten. After Yeri finished, Yeri clapped happily.

Jungkook groaned as Yeri finished shooting, smiled broadly and received the large panda the man gave him immediately, looking like Jungkook was happy to get rid of one of his toys.

He took the giant panda and brought it towards Jungkook, but Jungkook did not want to accept it, at first, crossing his arms angrily, he said, but the bear was so big and white-haired that it spontaneously gave him an alluring look. It is no secret that Jungkook has a weakness for toy dolls and cute statues. Jungkook hates that Yeri knows most of what he likes and hates. Jungkook hates that Yeri uses it against him, but there is also a feeling of satisfaction from being rewarded in this way; offering a big panda, Jungkook must have instantly fallen in love with the doll.

Yeri swung the doll seductively. "I know you want it. I know you're thinking about how to hug her. Come on, take it."

"I refuse" Jungkook broke eye contact with the panda and swallowed his saliva. "It's an ugly white color. It's dirty easy."

"No, no. You have the wrong vision."

"Yes, right," Jungkook crossed his arms across his chest defiantly. "I'm not going to take it."

The man behind the counter interrupted. "Maybe you can give it to me? I've been working here a while and I've always been watching the panda." The man was obviously joking with them but it served to calm Jungkook's stubborn nature. Instantly, Jungkook takes the panda from Yeri's arm.

"Good! I'll take this stupid panda! Let's go!"

Yeri grabs Jungkook's inner elbow before he can leave, pulls him closer to her and tiptoes to kiss him on the cheek. Jungkook instantly froze, his cheeks glowed red, and his chest expanded like he suddenly had two hearts inside. Yeri's lips on her cheeks felt like Jungkook rubbed his cheeks onto a dog pudle or cotton candy, and the sensation exerted along her spine made her change into a block of ice. Before completely retreating, Yeri whispered.

"I know I haven't been the most amazing person in the last four months. I know I'm the one who makes you feel hanging with no strings attached or even a gesture. I know I'm a very terrible human being who doesn't deserve anything you can give me," Yeri felt Jungkook stiffen as both breaths of his warm mouth brushed his skin so gently and wrapped it up trembling; and words were coming out of his mouth. Yeri's fist came close to Jungkook's arm violently, his fingers met in a perfect circle and their blood circulation froze, neither of the two noticed. They are too caught up in their feelings to pull away from each other. "I know it, but I love you. I love you and I will always love you. You are worth fighting for, even more than the bad stuff that is dirtying my body. Sorry I failed to see it before. "

Yeri lets Jungkook go and takes a few steps forward, leaving him in a dangerous condition that Jungkook does not realize how to get himself out of this. There is something hovering around her body, strangely resembling affection, but she is not ready to accept the fact that she is still hiding things for Yeri who used to be the cause of her destruction. Does he look like a pitiful guy who almost slumped? For Yeri?
