[Unnie Unnie]

Part One

“Unnie~Unnie~”

A childish whine rang out at a neighborhood playground.

“Nope.”
“Unnie~~”
“Nope.”
“UNNIE PREASEEE~~~”
“NO WAY YOONGIE.”
“YES WAY UNNIE!”
“OH GOD.”
“Why are you calling yourself?”

Jessica couldn’t stop herself from laughing. Yoona was five years younger than her, ridiculously adorable and would sometimes insist that Jessica was god, or goddess, whichever Yoona wanted her to be and whenever it suited her. It was cute the way Yoona said it so casually, so cute that sometimes, Jessica wondered if Yoona would grow up to be those natural flirts. She would be a terror, with that thought in mind, Jessica chuckled again.

The laughter from Jessica brought a grin onto Yoona’s face, which was followed by her bouncing on the swing in delight. She beamed that million watts smile of hers as though she won a million dollars, her features further highlighted by the carefree smile.

Even at this tender age, Yoona could be considered a beauty, although her extremely childish actions and attitude often overrode that physical appeal. She didn’t realize it, or maybe she just didn’t care, preferring to run around with the boys and scramble about looking for spiders to use for pranks and games.

Spiders, ew, Jessica shuddered.

Half of those boys that ran around with Yoona were probably smitten with her, that was Jessica’s illogical assumption, even though she never participated in any of those ‘Yoona and the boys’ adventures. It was for a good reason too- a fifteen years old teen gallivanting with a group of kids that ranged from seven to eleven years old was pretty weird. While they were extremely close, what Yoona did with her group of little friends didn’t interest Jessica one bit. She steered away from them but welcomed Yoona with open arms.

Thinking that Jessica had agreed, Yoona thanked her with a wide smile, eyes sparkling with excitement. However, the sheer delight from wrongly assuming that the laugh was the equivalent of an okay got replaced by a look of anguish when Jessica uttered a firm ‘no’ once again.

Yoona’s face fell; Jessica had to suppress an urge to give her a hug.

“Unnie unnie unnie unnie unnie unnie unnie unnie unnie unnie unnie unn-“
“Yoongie! Stop acting like a broken record player!” Jessica cried, slapping a palm to her forehead before covering her ears in face of the younger girl’s endless chant.

Then she saw a sly grin crack on Yoona’s face.

All according to plan, that look said.

“Say okay!”
“Nope.”
“Hmph!”
“You’re almost eleven, time to grow up Yoongie.”
“Unnie, I’m growing! I grew one cm!”

Jessica rolled her eyes and gently rocked the swing she was on; it was impossible to argue with the pipsqueak, because she had all sorts of unorthodox reasons and counterarguments. When in a pinch, the clockwork in young Yoona’s brain turned faster than Roadrunner escaping from Coyote, and often, she was able to come up with an idea or rebuttal sooner than the words “Beep Beep” could be uttered. And if, by chance, nothing else worked, she still had her cute open-mouthed grin to fall back on.

Survival instinct, Jessica concluded months after she met the kid. To be honest, Jessica had always been impressed by Yoona’s ability to twist things her way, as if she had some sort of magical power over all situations. This time, though, was another case.

Not gonna get involved, Jessica repeated in her head, no no no no no.

“Unnie~~”
“No, I won’t do it.”
“But I really wanna be in this sub-unit!”
“Aren’t you already in the Spiders Fighter sub-unit?!”Jessica asked, more out of exasperation than curiosity.
“Um, we broke up, one of the boys got bitten by the spider and cried all the way home. Psssh.” Yoona scoffed, and began imitating that particular boy acting all whiny and bawling his eyes out to his mother.

Jessica laughed inwardly, frustration dissolving the moment Yoona wailed out in mocked pain and started wiping away invisible tears from her eyes. Yoona’s imitation was good, right down to the running part.

It became impossible for Jessica to hold in her laughter when she saw Yoona hugged a random pole in the playground, which was forcibly given the role of the mother. Yoona had sensed Jessica's positive appraisal of the little skit and with a lop-sided grin, she looked to Jessica for her praise.

“You’re awesome, Yoongie,” Jessica was clapping and laughing from the absolutely hilarious rendition, “I need to sign you up as an actress.”

Pleased with the compliment, Yoona skipped back to Jessica, eyes bright and spirit renewed. When she was about to open her mouth to start another round of ‘unnie unnie’, Jessica was quick to notice and immediately cut in before Yoona got the chance to start her bombardment.

“Who suggested such a rubbish initiation anyway?” Jessica asked casually, meaning to slowly steer them away from the previous topic.
“Ummmm…” Yoona plopped on the swing, looking thoughtful, “Key? Yep, I think so! He said it’s hard, so the sub-unit will be special!”
“So what’s this sub-unit for? What’s the point of having members that are willing to kiss people of the same sex?”
“…Oh. Hmmm.”

She wouldn’t have cared usually, that crazy group Yoona was in had done too many of such antics and her tolerance for it had certainly gone up. But this time, Yoona had gotten her involved. In fact, Yoona had asked to kiss her, on the lips so that she could get into that sub-unit.

What the hell? That Key boy is a total pervert, Jessica cursed in her head.

“C’mon, unnie. Help me!” and Yoona was at it again; Jessica’s attempt at distraction and logical persuasion had failed. That ten-year-old brain couldn’t be bothered about the long run, only the initiation mattered to Yoona.
“No Yoongie, I’d be a pedophile if I do that,” the cons of this situation outweighed the pros by far, and no matter how much Jessica liked the kid, she wasn’t prepared to get into trouble for her, “the police will throw me into the jail. Join something else.”
“Pe...pee, peeeee what?” Young Yoona tilted her head to one side, lips slightly pursing as she searched her database for the word. Jessica wanted to ruffle her hair, but refrained herself from it. This wasn’t the time to be all doting to Yoona.

“Bad person who attacks kids. Something like that.”
“Oh! I won’t call the police! It’s um, consensy?”
“Consensual.”
“Yeah, whatever, unnie. Consencent. Help me please~ Unnie unnie unnie~!”

Jessica sighed, Yoona was a persistent one. She could cling onto something forever until she got it, and Jessica doubted even a hurricane can make her loosen her grip.

“Go kiss that friend of yours instead, what’s her name? Sooyoung? The one that eats a mountain.”
“I don’t wanna!”
“Too bad then, no sub-unit for you.”

Jessica got up from the swing, eager to leave the company of Yoona before her stand wavered. It was an almost successful escape until she felt something tugged at her left calf, stopping further leg movement and thawing her imminent escape.

“YOONA! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!”

Jessica shrieked in shock. Yoona was lying flat on the ground, obstinately grabbing her left leg with her lips all pouty and eyes pleading. Jessica squatted down, Yoona looked so pitiful, lips trembling slightly even while pouting. Jessica felt the walls of her resolve shake and gradually crumbled.

A kiss, as quick as possible, things would be fine. Or possibly have her ass on the cold hard floor of the detention room.

“Get up Yoongie.”
“Nope.”
“Get up, please.”
“Nopessss.”

Jessica sighed, “Okay, stop behaving like a spoilt child. I’d help you, but this is the only time I’m doing something like this. Got it?”

Yoona’s doe eyes lit up as she simultaneously released her grip on Jessica’s leg. Jessica could see stars shinning in Yoona’s eyes and she wondered if she was hallucinating, or maybe Yoona’s smile was too dazzling. She helped Yoona up from the ground, dusted the dirt off her as Yoona beamed.

“Really?”
“Yes Yoong. Really,” Jessica laughed, this time allowing herself to ruffle Yoona’s hair.
“Hooray! Goddess unnie is the best!”

Yoona bounced up and down, cheering madly, it was hyperness at it’s best.

“But seriously, Yoong,” they were back on the swing now, the kids that took over the swing left in a hurry, terrified by Jessica’s icy expression.
“Yes, unnie?”
“Why’s your group so weird? Didn’t you have some Steal the Newspaper sub-unit before?”
“Oh yeah, I didn’t join that, unnie.”
“And the… Shake Soda Cans sub-unit?”
“Yep,” Yoona did a crazy shake with both her hands, head bobbing up and down along, “I was in it for a week.”
“Prank the teachers sub-unit?”
“AH! MY FAVORITE!”
“Flip Up Girls’ Skirt sub-unit,” eyebrows creased as Jessica recalled that particular one, “Yes, that’s the one I find really horrible!”
“Me too, unnie! That’s why I’m not in it!”
“You were.”
“I’m not anymore! Some girls cried, and you said it was really naughty.”

Yoona widened her doe eyes and blinked a few times- a signature move of hers. When Jessica first met Yoona, she had thought that those eyes were innocent, that Yoona was a mini angel, flawlessly pretty and utterly delicate. After getting to know her for real though, those thoughts flew right out of her head. Jessica now knew those eyes were specifically sculpted for crime- innocent enough to get her off most of the pranks and misdemeanors she committed. And delicate? It didn’t exist in Yoona’s little Rolling In The Mud Is Great world.

Exaggeration, but still considered an apt description.

***

Jessica had her fair share of apprehension when Yoona dragged her off to the initiation party, minutes after she agreed to help. Technically, it wasn’t much of a party. It was more like a bunch of kids gathered around to do stupid things at a pretty much abandoned building. There were some kids jostling, trying to exert superiority over one another; a few huddled together at a corner, throwing furtive glances around now and then; and some, simply chilling out and looking bored. Jessica scanned the area, trying to spot that Key boy who had started this fiasco through Yoona’s description of him. It wasn’t hard, since he was almost right in the center, catching his eye, Jessica shot him a glare.

“Ice queen!” Key shouted immediately, rudely discounting any form of respectful address, his slightly chubby cheeks rising as he formed a grin.

Jessica rolled her eyes, boys. No, perverted boys.

There were some whispering and nudging as all attention promptly focused on Jessica and Yoona.

Jessica fought back a squirm.

“Wow, Yoona you brought the ice queen noona?”
“You’re gonna kiss her? Bleah. Gross.”
“Yooooona, bring Sooyoung noona please,” some young boy Jessica had never seen before suddenly squeaked, “I like Sooyoung noona, not this noona.”
That promptly earned a smack from the slightly older looking boy beside that young one, “Jaehyun, Sooyoung noona is mine! You can take this scary noona Yoona brought!”
“Go away, ice queen!”

The moment was almost unreal. Jessica couldn’t believe she was standing in the midst of these young boys who were wolf whistling and howling rude statements, she wondered how Yoona could possibly hang out with them. An immense desire to slip away was bubbling at the pit of her stomach, threatening to explode and subsequently propel her out of this crazy situation.

Exercising as much self-control as she could muster, she tried to calm down, smothering the temper that was on the edge of combustion. They were annoying, but she would be the bigger person. Unleashing hell on a bunch of little kids would surely be considered bullying, right?

“SHUDDUP ALL OF YOU! SHE’S MY GODDESS!” Yoona bellowed as she pulled Jessica closer to her, shocking the boys into silence

Jessica eyes widened, very much stunned by the outburst, as Yoona stared down at the boys, her gaze sharp enough to cut and face slightly flushed from the sheer effort that was used to shout. That was the first time Jessica actually saw Yoona that angry, and from the reaction, probably the first for the boys as well.

The silence was formidable. The boys remained frozen in place as Yoona’s glare swept across them. Jessica never imagined that Yoona was capable of being that angry; she had a straightforward and slightly rugged personality, but not one that was quick to anger. However, now that Key was shuffling his feet nervously and the other boys looking at one another with eyes that wavered with uncertainty, Jessica felt an odd sense of satisfaction and pride rush into her.

Maybe kissing Yoona wasn’t such a disastrous decision after all.

“Ummm, Yoona?” Key began timidly, which had Yoona flashing the glare in his direction immediately. Jessica could almost see him cower under that intimidating stare of the ten year old Yoona.
“What!”
“The initiation…”
“Oh. Unnie~”

Yoona spun around speedily and with a sudden burst of aegyo, she latched on to Jessica’s arm. Jessica released an involuntary giggle. The quick change of attitude left the boys bewildered and Jessica was feeling expectant, what for, she wasn’t exactly sure. But it buoyed her and lifted her spirits.

“Unnie~! My initiation, quick! Kiss!”

A roll of eyes, Jessica swop down and in a smooth motion swiftly pecked Yoona on her lips lightly. It happened so fast; no one reacted to it at all.

Jessica, though, had a revelation.

Those feelings of being a pedophile or committing incest didn’t stir, and it really didn’t matter that Yoona was a girl. Her lips were soft and felt nice despite it being just a light touch.

A feathery brush across the lips that invited a welcoming tremble.

“NO! You can’t do that!” one of the boys finally spoke up, agitated flails accompanied his words.
“No exact condition was stated for the kiss,” Jessica shrugged and threw one of her best icy glare at the boy who shut his mouth immediately. As it was, she was sure she could make terrorizing kids as a career option one day.
“Whatever, I’m in the sub-unit now!” Yoona was grinning from ear to ear, unable to contain her excitement as she jumped and whooped in jubilation, “Hey Key! I am, right?”
“Umm, yeah. Yeah, I think?” Key smiled uncomfortably, his eyes fixed on Jessica who gave him a threatening look. With her thumb, she drew a cutting action across her neck.

I’d kill you if she isn’t.
