“You did miss out,” Eunbi laughs into the phone as she speaks with Yena later that night. “Hyewon was practically glowing by the time Chaeyeon and I walked back in I’ll tell you the details tomorrow duck I’ll let you sleep”
Chaeyeon watches as Eunbi hangs up the phone and wraps her blanket around her until it engulfs her entire body. Only her face is showing and it looks like she’s wearing an oversized eskimo suit. Chaeyeon can’t help but giggle at the funny sight.
Eunbi must have caught her laughing because she suddenly frowns. “Hey,” she whines childishly. “Are you making fun of me and my abnormally frosty body temperature?”
Chaeyeon smiles as she nods her head. Eunbi is over there looking like she’s sleeping outside in the coldest parts of Antarctica while Chaeyeon, on the other hand, is chilling in a tank top and sleeping shorts, she’s actually kinds of feeling a bit warm.
“Don’t make fun of me,” Eunbi pouts, adopting an angry face. But Chaeyeon can’t take her seriously. Not when she’s wrapped in a fuzzy blanket. She’s about as intimidating as a baby rabbit.
But then Eunbi breaks out into a chuckle and Chaeyeon tilts her head in question.
“What?”
“I’m just thinking about how weird it is that I used to complain about you to you,” she shakes her head in disbelief, but smile still on her face. “Like, do you remember that one time like last week or something where I was ranting about how ‘opposite we were’ and that we never seem to agree or meet in the middle about anything? That was low key talking about temperature disparity when it comes to our bodies. I think I got frostbite that night while you were over there with your blanket on the fucking floor.”
Chaeyeon rolls her eyes jokingly. You complained about me so much that I never disliked me just based on what you were saying,” she laughs lightheartedly. This is such an ironic conversation.
“Hey now, you made it seem like I was this dark and horrible person who hated everyone and anything and that I hissed at sunlight!”
“Well, you did act that way towards me,” Chaeyeon replied in defense. “That’s why I would always fall asleep after you and wake up before you in case you decided to kill me while I was sleeping.”
Eunbi gives her a funny look, linking an eyebrow up. I can’t tell if you’re joking or not, but I could never intentionally hurt you. Even if I didn’t like you at all that much, I would still never di anything to hurt you. No matter how much I wanted to,” she mumbles the last sentence under her breath.
A silence then falls between the two of them. Chaeyeon watches Eunbi’s hand while Eunbi looks down at the pillow, running her fingers over the embroidery repeatedly. Her black hair is pulled up into a high ponytail, her widows peak much more noticeable and her cheekbones sharper.
Chaeyeon always thought Eunbi was pretty. She never wore much make up or did her hair often, but she has this natural beauty about her. It’s her flattering and unique physical features that really make her stand out. The perfectly shaped and complimenting eyebrows, the captivating brown eyes, the long and dark eye lashes, the cute nose and the full lips all came together impeccably. There was not a single physical flaw on her.
“Hey Chaeyeon,” Eunbi suddenly says, shaking her thoughts, “I’m sorry about all the things I said about you before I knew that, well, I was talking to you. I’m not going to lie and say I didn’t mean it at the time, but I am sorry that I never really gave you a chance before I had a set impression of you that I didn’t necessarily like.”
Chaeyeon immediately waves away her apology. “Nah,” she shakes her head. “Don’t worry about it. I know that you are sorry because I am too. I guess we were both at fault for automatically deciding that we weren’t going to put in any effort in being friends.”
Eunbi smiles softly. “We have been friends all this time and we didn’t even know it.”
Chaeyeon returns the smile. “Yeah. We have haven’t we?”
She likes that. She likes the idea of being friends with Eunbi now instead of completely dismissing that notion. But ever since the whole big reveal, Eunbi is almost like a completely different person. She’s smiling more and she’s more gentle, caring and compassionate.
Hell, it totally took Chaeyeon by surprised when Eunbi pulled her into her arms and held her the entire time while she cried earlier. It was so unlike what she’s been used to. Eunbi used to never give her the light of the day and that act alone allowed Chaeyeon to know things were different between them now and for the better. Oh, and she also smelled good.
Eunbi’s face is hard to see now considering she’s turned her back towards the younger girl, but she nonetheless mumbles back, “yeah yeah. Goodnight Chaeyeon.”
At this time of the night, Chaeyeon would be eagerly writing back and forth to Eunbi online. But now that their identities are out, there isn’t much need to stay up anymore tonight if Eunbi is just about to sleep. So she decides to follow her actions and settles in her bed, flipping her lamp off.
