Chapter 10: Strangely Ord (1/1)

Walking inside the classroom early in the morning, is a normal thing to Solar. But for that time, something is new to her, Moonbyul is not with her. And then she remembers, her bestfriend is acoompanying her childhood friend as the tall figure bid goodbye to Krystal and the two bestfriends .After that day, Solar keeps thinking and let herself bother about Moonbyul. Why is she, herself, being all aftected when Moonbyul saw her with Eric. And for the first time, she can't read what Moonbyul was thinking that time.A tall figure is walking in the hallway. It is a simple and common sight. But strangely, Solar can't take her eyes from her as she saw the latter waved her a hands, like what she always do to her.A loud cheer coming from a student was the one cutted Solar's thought."Moonbyul Sunbaenim! You look so cool today! Kyaaahh""Silver hair suits better on you." Another student shouted."Ah, good morning. Thanks" Moonbyul shyly smiled as she acknowledge the compliments she receive this morning."Oh morning Yongsun-ah!" This time Moonbyul turn her attention to her friend with her normal ethusiastic side."You change your hair?" Solar asked and then frowned because of the new figure in front of her.  "Ahh, Uuumm y-yeah" Solar observes the silver haired girl as she stiffens, looks on the ground at some times then giggle."I think I need a change, don't you think?" Moonbyul looked up and now it Solar's turn to turn her head to the ground, a tint of pink on her cheeks which Moonbyul didn't notice.For the first time, Solar is not complaining, because today she can't deny that the tall girl is absolutely stunning today. How can she be this handsomely beautiful everytime? And then she answered."Y-yeah." But one things for sure, she admits, she fall for the latter, big time.The morning classes went strangely normal today. Solar was observing her bestfriend since the first period and the other is just being an ordinary and diligent student as she is. This sight is normal to other people. But way too normal for Solar, like she didn't even notice that her bestfriend, her Yongkong, is ignoring her.Its already time for lunch, and Solar saw Eric standing beside the entrance door of their classroom. And with that sight, her gaze turns to the taller girl who is also looking at the door with same expression she had last weekend at the mall. Deja vu. Now, Solar's mind is in chaos right now. She really want to ask Moonbyul what is wrong because for the second time, she can't read what Moonbyul is thinking right now.Her thoughts are interrupted when the girl beside her rapidly passed her without even saying anything or an invitation perhaps to join her to grab some lunch. Eventhough Solar recently and currently ignoring her bestfriend, she still expect at least something from the other girl.Solar sighed then walked towards Eric and weakly smiles to him when she heard something that she expects Moonbyul to say."Wanna grab some lunch together?""Yeah sure." Solar doesn't have a heart to reject the boy since he did not do anything but good to her. And besides when she's with him, she's happy and unconciously drifting her mind away about what she feels towards Moonbyul.But not today, because Eric suddenly have an important errand to go to but the boy makes sure that Solar eat her lunch by herself. So the two went to Solar and friends' usual table where, Wheein, Hwasa and Krystal were there. Solar didn't know if she consider Krystal as a friend until now. Eric bid goodbye after he properly introduced himself to Solar's circle of friends."Wheein-ah, Where's Moonbyul?" Solar asked as she sat down, infront of Krystal who now mindlessly eating her lunch. The question made the trio frowned in confusion at her."Isn't she supposed to be with you?" Krystal suddenly question backs coldly which gain the attention of the three specially Solar. And for the record Solar doesn't return the intense glare of the other girl because she knows that even herself, bestfriend and classmate who she's with for the rest of the morning, can't answer the question.This feeling is what Solar hates the most, when she doesn't even know what to reply specially questions about Moonbyul. Maybe it's her karma for ignoring the taller girl."Oh, I think I saw her with Minhyuk Oppa earlier." Wheein interupt the conversation. Solar unconsciously sighed in relief, remembering to thank the shorter girl for saving her that time.After the 'heated' glaring of the two,  they somewhat enjoy their lunch since the two bestfriends is trying their best to lift up the mood somehow. In the middle of ther conversation, Solar checked her phone and there's one message indicating in the small screen."Meet me in the roof top, right now." Knowing that girl is serious, Solar excuses herself to her friends. Maybe this is the time Irene want to 'talk' to her full and proper explanations. As Solar walked outside the cafteria, she saw Moonbyul handling a folder, reading the papers, lifting the papers one by one. She admire the younger girl specially in her newly wore specs. Solar sighed for the first time and let herself go to the rooftop, without even noticing that the younger girl called her.------------------------"Hey, Irene" Solar entered the rooftop as she saw another figure leaning at the rail, observing the students from above."Oh, you're here. Sorry to interupt your lunch, but here I bought something." Irene stretched out a banana milk drink and Solar gladly accepts it.Maybe it will not be too dramatic."Thanks." She replies to the shorter girland comfortable silence enveloped them."You know I didn't mean anything to be like that." Solar decided to start the conversation amd she also knows that Irene knows what she's talking about."Of course. Do you I let you do your thing in your own way if I don't, right?" Then Irene answers back but remain her sight to the field infront of them."I just want to try, I just want to see, if she will do atleast something, when she saw me in that situation..." Solar takes some time to answer back. Because she know that the other didn't deserve this kind of treatment."Do you find, what you're looking for?" This time Irene look at her, and Solar's mind can't really process today because she doesn't know what kind of expression Irene is giving her.Recalling what happen earlier in the morning, she thinks that Moonbyul is totally fine. Like she's doubting herself if Moonbyul really did that expression, an expression she have when Moonbyul and Krystal were together, jealousy. But change it in an instant."Y-yes, I think so." Solar hesistated.Maybe Moonbyul really didn't have that kind of effect to her. Maybe her delusional mind just making fun of her that time.Maybe it is just her eyes whise playing with her, to the point she saw Moonbyul had a glint of jealousy in her eyes.Maybe, just maybe, she really, and badly want Moonbyul to feel that way that's why she did that.Or maybe, she just want to feeling anything but hurt and feelings related to that, to forget the feelings that she felt towards Moonbyul."You know what, if you're trying to shift your attention to others, please do it right." Its like Irene knows whats inside her mind, because of the next word she said."... you don't have to ignore Moonbyul, when you actually have feelings for her." Solar knows that she didn't tell anyone, expect Wheein and Hwasa, about her feelings towards her bestfriend."H-how d-di-""Oohhh Solar, you know I have connections." Irene is smiling mischievously at her. And that's to remind herself that the two younggirls will receive her lecturing later."But Yongsun, stop ignoring her, you know she still your bestfriend right? And also, try to speak out your feelings, before its too late." Solar is a bit taken aback on how Irene sound so serious.And she continued, "And please don't hurt each other, it also applies to the boy."Solar doesn't know what to answer. But she's sure..."You know I can't or will not do that, right?""I know, I'm just making sure..." A pause."...And if you having a hard time, you should let go one of them, after it gets too deep and you can't do anything just let yourself drown and hurt both of them." Solar is speechless not knowing that her friend has so much knowledge about this things.And this time, Solar knew she should compose her mind and feelings right now.----------------------------------------------------Lunch and afternoon classes are done, just like how school supposed to be. And now, she clear up jer desk when she heard a familiar voice beside her. "Wanna grab some ice cream before going home?" Oh how much I miss that kind of voice.Solar can't held her excitement as she explode a loud "Yes!" And literally dragged Moonbyul outside the room after she get her things.They got to their usual ice cream shop just five minute walk away from the school. It is just a small store but it has such an inviting ambiance and delicious ice cream. The reasons why the two keeps on visiting this place before thay go home.Realizing their position, Solar clinging to Moonbyul like coala, they or specifically Solar immediately separate herself to Moonbyul. She look at the pain reaction of younger girl but quickly replaced by a smile as they reach the store.After they ordered, they decided to stay at the small playground beside the shop. Just like old times. They thought. As they sit in the swing side by side letting the comfortable silence envelop them, Moonbyul started the conversation."Hey, how are you?" Maybe a bit unsual question to hear coming from Moonbyul. But the girl is really curious since it amost a week since they last properly talked to each other."I'm fine. You?" Solar is aa curious as Moonbyul."I think so. I miss you. I miss my bestfriend" Moonbyul confeses, she's been gathering her courage to say that. And that makes Solar taken aback.Not being able to contain her feeling anymore, Solar burst into tears, feeling horrible of what she did to Moonbyul. Moonbyul notices it and shocked because she didn't know what she did or said wrong. But at the back of her mind, she still feel hurt because she addresses as her bestfriend."Hey, w-why are you crying?""Byul-ah, I'm really sorry." Solar go to Moonbyul and hug her tightly, burying her head and crying at the taller girl's chest. And Moonbyul didn't mind it at all.Moonbyul just faintly smiles and rub the girls back to comfort her and observes and looks at the shorter girl crying in her embace."I already forgive you, even before you say sorry, Yongkong-ah"And with that words, Solar cry harder. Moonbyul is so precious and special to her.---------------------------------------------------After their dramatic situation the bestfriends walk hand in hand towards their respective homes. But before Moonbyul leave, Solar asks something that she can't reject, specially how Solar looks so cute hen she said her request."Byulkong-ahhh, can I sleep over in your aparment? Pllleeaawwweessseee?"And Moonbyul knows she in a deep trouble right now. -------------------------------------------------Whooo!! I finally update! Right now!! Again, I'm really sorry for those who waited for this update but I hope you like it. :)
