/A Perfect Day for A Love Declaration/ Mini:Ep One
a perfect day for a love declaration
mini/ep ★ sooyoung
My friends are adorable. Seriously, they are. They go on with their lives like nothing's wrong; pretending that everything has been set right just because they avoided it. She laughs and jokes with the rest of us as if nothing was wrong; while he continues to play the part of the perfect son to the hilt. They think I don't notice -- or that I care about those kinds of things as much -- but I do, despite my jokes and endless teasing. They think they can hide, but they can't. Not from me anyway.
That's why I can see through them so well.
Take Yoona for example. Sure, she's laughing more, smiling wider - and there's no doubt she's begun to care for Donghae deeply and sincerely. But... that wasn't enough. She doesn't get excited when she goes out. She doesn't gush or tell me about her plans. She doesn't do anything. She lets it be. Her smiles never reach her eyes, and even though she seems happy -- I know very well that a part of her was not.
I asked her once, if she loved Donghae. She looked at me plainly, and nodded (a little hesitantly, I think. But maybe it was just me?) Then I asked her suddenly if she was over what had happened and Changmin. It was out of nowhere, and I admit I almost attacked her with my question... but it was quite an easy question to answer, right? It was either you did, or you didn't.
She was shocked at first. Her eyes widening slightly and she paused.
Now, a pause can mean absolutely nothing. But that definitely did. I grinned and told her it was okay. She asked me about it but I don't tell her anything. She should find out for herself... that love and affection were two very different things. Yoona resents me for my teasing her, but what could I do?
Changmin's not much better off either. Since meeting Yuri, I've started hanging out with her more because she was fun and genuinely nice. She would drag Changmin everywhere though, something that annoyed him I could tell, but surprised me when he would just follow. He doesn't complain, make snide comments or roll his eyes. His eyes are blank when he grins at something Yuri said. He doesn't do anything to change -- he also lets it be. I may not have ever liked him for Yoona; but I just knew, from watching him move so calm, so precise... I knew how he held her close to his heart.
Today was the same. I had decided to help Yuri pick out flowers for her wedding (which was three weeks and six days away. It was such a short notice wedding, geez) and she dragged Changmin along. He was pleasant, and quiet. Too quiet that I couldn't take it anymore and punched him in the gut while Yuri went off to talk to the florist. He glared at me (the old Changmin was still there!) and I only grinned.
I watched him rub his stomach, before scratching the back of his neck and exhaling. I notice the familiar chain around his neck -- then the ring. My grin grew wider.
“You're still wearing that?”
He looked at me surprised, and glanced at where my finger pointed. He rolled his eyes (another sign of the old Changmin!), and didn't say anything. I nudged him with my shoulder.
“What ever happened to 'it won't matter in the morning'?” I teased, raising an eyebrow. “Or does it still matter?”
He shrugged, wrapping a hand around the ring. His non-answer only confirmed what I already knew very well about Changmin and Yoona. I nodded, and called out to Yuri cheerfully, leaving Changmin behind with his hand still around that ring.
It mattered. It always will.
I grinned, stealing a look at Changmin's distracted face. It's just like I said--
My friends are adorable.
I'm here to explain this little "MID-SEASON BREAK"!
Think of Chapter 12 as a new season of a drama series. Things will be different. You'll see the characters change - BUT - I am most definitely not going to put this fic on hiatus. Instead, you'll all get mini chapters! Tell me what you think yes? All told in the other characters' point of view. :) Enjoy.
