- I can't stand this heat anymore, Sakura complains as we arrive at the villa.
- It's because you're no longer used to it.
- It is rare for it to still be more than twenty degrees after nineteen o'clock in Seoul.
I lick my ice cream while nodding my head. It is true that in recent days, the temperature is stifling and I feel that a thunderstorm will certainly not be long in coming. I don't point out to her the big black clouds coming from the South and the wind that rises, knowing that she is afraid of it, and I just follow her into the house.
- We're back, she shouts as she leaves her shoes.
A vague answer reaches us from the living room and we find the girls, a huge salad bowl of popcorn on the coffee table, looking for a movie to watch.
- Another ice cream? Sighs Yunjin as he stares at my cone.
- It's okay, I know I shouldn't, you've already told me, but you know how much it's outside?
- Why don't you have to eat ice cream? Eunchae is surprised by extending his hand so that I can make him taste.
- I have to go on a diet. Here, by the way, finish it, I don't want it anymore.
- On a diet? Kazuha and Eunchae exclaim at the same time.
- According to whom? Increase Chaewon
- Yunjin and my reflection. Now, it's absolutely not a discussion I want to have with you so we'll kindly change the subject, okay? Where are the girls?
- Min Soo sleeps with her parents, Kylie and Karina have a manicure evening and Sa Ra is sick, informs me Chaewon
- Is Sa Ra sick? What does she have?
- Indigestion most certainly.
- I'm going to go see her. Save me a place but don't wait for me, I'll join you later.
I go up to my room and find my roommate lying in her bed.
- Are you okay? I ask her when I see that she is not sleeping.
- Bof, it's not the great shape but it will be better afterwards.
- The girls said it was indigestion, did you eat something not fresh?
- No, it's not that, it's just that I followed several falls while surfing after eating so it turned my stomach a little. However, I know that rollers and digestion don't go well together.
She makes a little laugh before grimacing.
- Have you taken any medication?
- Yes, don't do it Unnie, it will pass with a good night's sleep.
- Okay. I'm downstairs with the girls. If you need, can you send me a message?
She nods and I put on cotton shorts and a tank top before going back down. Seeing me arrive, Yunjin shifts and signals me to sit next to her.
- What are you watching? I whisper as I settle down.
- A horror movie.
I take a look at her as she starts laughing silently.
- Don't worry, I'm here, she whispers to me, passing her arm behind my shoulders so that I can get closer to her.
I want to push her back and put distance between us to allow my little heart to calm down, but I scream by hiding against her chest when a black shape appears behind the protagonist. I squeeze her T-shirt between my fingers as she gently caresses my back.
The more the film passes, the more oppressive the atmosphere becomes, making me jump every five minutes. Outside, the storm is coming, and a powerful thunderbolt makes us all scream. I notify Sakura, sitting on the floor next to Chaewon who approaches her to reassure her before taking a look at Eunchae and Kazuha who died of laughter. I don't laugh, completely terrorized while the lightning that zebra the sky gives me the impression of seeing black shadows on the terrace.
As if she understood how scared I was, Yunjin gently grabs my legs to put them on hers and attracts me a little more against her chest, so that I am in profile with respect to the screen and the bay window. She quickly kisses my forehead before turning her attention to the film. My heart panics completely while I am almost sitting on her and her fingers distractedly caress the naked skin of my thighs. I feel my body warm up at the same time as my cheeks, which must be as red as peonies. My hands get sweaty and I start fidgeting to try to put a little distance between us, which has the effect of attracting his attention.
She turns her face half lit by the television and the lightning towards me and her eyes cling to mine. At that time, nothing counts anymore. Neither the cries of the actors who are being cut into pieces, nor the thunder that roars above our heads, nor our comrades sitting next to us. I realize that my gaze drifts in spite of myself towards his lips a few centimeters and I move away sharply, failing to find my ass on the floor.
- I... I'm going to bed... I'm shitting this movie.
I don't expect an answer and class upstairs. The door of the room slams behind me and I lean on it, out of breath.
- Unnie?
I sturtl when I hear Sa Ra's voice. It straightens up and the small light on the bedside table turns on.
- Excuse me, did I wake you up?
- It doesn't matter. Is everything all right?
She stares at me by frowning her eyebrows and I come to sit next to her carrying my hand to my chest. My heart knocks so hard that I almost hurt.
- I think I almost kissed Yunjin, I blow while looking at her with panicked eyes.
- What?! Wait, you... what?! Tell me.
- I don't know what happened. We were all watching a horror movie and between that and the storm I was scared so she pressed me against her and at one point our eyes crossed and... and I don't know... it was really weird, as if a magnet attracted me to her. Without realizing it, I was on his lips.
- Why didn't you kiss him?
- No, but are you crazy or what?
- If it happens, she was only waiting for that?
- No. It's already embarrassing enough to tell me that she certainly saw that I would die of desire for her to kiss me... Imagine Eunchae or Kazuha saw me too? My god, shame! And to think that I'm twenty-five years old, I feel like I'm a kid!
Her Ra starts laughing and lies on her back, training me with her. We fix the slats of the top bed for a moment in silence before I turn my head towards her.
- By the way, do you feel better?
- Yes, it's okay, it was nothing, I told you.
I agree, reassured and the silence falls back. We stay for a long time before sleep takes us away.
09.05.23
When I wake up, it's almost noon and the room is deserted. I feel like every time something happens with Yunjin, I sleep like a baby. After taking a shower and putting on the dress offered by Kazuha on my birthday, I go down to meet the rest of the group.
