Meant To Be

Gahyeon quickly rushed Yoohyeon and Minji out of the room as soon as Bora started to doze. The two were quite confused, but the excited look on the younger girl's face told them that whatever she was going to say, it would be interesting.

“ok… what are you dying to tell us?” Minji asked as her excitement started to rise. Gahyeon smirked evilly as she leaned in closer.

“Siyeon said the L word to Bora while waking up from sedation…” Gahyeon said as Minji gasped while Yoohyeon tilted her head cutely in confusion.

“lesbian?” Yoohyeon asked as the two snorted in surprise.

“no! love!” Minji said after her laughter stopped. Yoohyeon was adorable and sexy, but sometimes the things that came out of her mouth could really surprise her.

“oh! Really? Isn’t that too soon?” Yoohyeon asked as Minji snorted.

“you said you loved me the first time I pinned you to a wall…” Minji said as Yoohyeon nodded.

“can you blame me? You looked so incredibly hot with that outfit.” Yoohyeon said with a shrug. She didn’t mind saying it so early. She just wished she had done it in a bit of a better time. Though it didn’t kill the mood at all.

“I didn’t need to know that… you are going to make me imagine things…” Gahyeon said as she closed her eyes and shook her head.

“anyway… Siyeon said she loved Bora. I thought she was going to freeze, but she didn’t!” Gahyeon said as the two leaned in excitedly.

“what did Bora say? A cheesy joke?” Minji asked as Gahyeon shook her head.

“she said, ‘I love you. I have loved you before I even knew it’ or something like that! And she sounded like she truly was in love. I haven’t known her long, but I have never heard her sound so happy and soft…” Gahyeon said as Minji’s jaw dropped.

“Kim Bora? THE Kim Bora said it back?” Minji said as she shook her head in shock.

“why is that so surprising?” Yoohyeon asked as Minji smiled sadly.

“Bora would try to use the fact that she studies so much as the reason that she didn’t date before, but it actually has to do with her parents. She was afraid for the longest time to open her heart up to anyone. Siyeon has done miracles with that tiny girl…” Minji said with a relieved smile. She was a bit worried that Bora would mess things up if it got too serious, but it seemed she had no intention to do that.

“why was she so hesitant?” Yoohyeon asked. She didn’t understand how Bora’s parents could be the reason.

“Bora’s mother left her father. So, for the longest time, she didn’t trust relationships. Its why she was so standoffish with her father at dinner.” Minji explained to her girlfriend.

“oh, that makes sense now,” Yoohyeon said as Gahyeon nodded in agreement.

“so does Siyeon remember what she said?” Minji asked as Gahyeon shrugged. That’s why she wanted to talk to the two.

“I don’t know. But if she doesn’t, should we tell her?” Gahyeon asked as the two thought.

“well, wouldn’t she feel embarrassed for saying that? She seems very shy.” Yoohyeon said as Minji nodded.

“yeah, I'm not sure how she would react to that… but if she knows what Bora said, it might make that better… let's watch how they act in the morning. We can try to see if Siyeon remembers then. Sound good?” Minji asked as Gahyeon nodded.

“but what about when they go back to school in the morning? Siyeon will be in that sling for a while. What do we say? Oh! That those thugs went after Bora again, and Siyeon defended her and got hurt?” Gahyeon asked as Minji smiled.

“like in a drama! Siyeon protected Bora from getting hurt and got injured! That would make her look like a badass, and the people who are still unhappy about them being a couple would probably shut up. My only worry is how cute Siyeon is on those meds… it might undo everything…” Minji said as Gahyeon pulled out her cell.

“I wish we had that Dami girl’s number… she's really good about spreading the word…” Minji said as Gahyeon held up her phone.

“oh, I got her number. Don’t worry!” Gahyeon said happily as she messaged the girl about their plan.

“ok, she says that she will spread the word around town. With adults talking about it, the students would hear about it and believe its true. She will also start spreading the rumors at school. When Siyeon shows up in the morning, everyone will think it's true!” Gahyeon said excitedly.

They all were enjoying this a bit too much. Yoohyeon liked listening to their plans, and suddenly she had an idea. She didn’t know how Minji would like it, but she wanted to offer it.

“hey, what if I help? If I say that I was there? I'm from a different school, so it would also make it look more believable, right?” Yoohyeon asked as Minji looked at her.

“What is your plan?” Gahyeon asked as she listened intently.

“that I found Bora and Siyeon after they were attacked and helped Siyeon to the hospital. I could show up at the school tomorrow to ‘see if they are ok’ where everyone can see. It also allows me to go home with Minji!” Yoohyeon said happily as Minji smiled. Yoohyeon was so cute when she got excited, and Gahyeon could see Minji melting at her girlfriends cute and excited smile.

“I like hanging out with all of you, and it gives me an excuse to spend more time with Minji too!” Yoohyeon said as Minji laughed.

“your school gets out at the same time ours does. How are you supposed to get there in time?” Minji asked as Yoohyeon suddenly looked guilty.

“um… my school gets out an hour earlier than yours…” Yoohyeon said as Minji looked at her in shock.

“wait… you would wait around more than an hour for me? And on the days I have dance practice, you would wait even longer?” Minji asked as Yoohyeon nodded guiltily.

“why?” Minji asked as Yoohyeon’s blush got bigger.

“because I like you. One day I saw you on the street, and I fell for you. I wanted to know more about you. Waiting around is nothing. I just play games on my phone while I wait, and you are worth the wait.” Yoohyeon said as Minji went all soft. She felt bad that Yoohyeon would wait so long, but it was just so cute.

“Yoohyeon…” Minji whined cutely as she hugged her girlfriend.

“wait, why do you have Dami’s number?” Minji asked as she released Yoohyeon to look at Gahyeon.

“I just do… anyway, back to my sister! I just told Dami about Yoohyeon’s idea.” Gahyeon said as her cheeks turned pink. Both Yoohyeon and Minji could tell that something was up but decided to drop it as they started talking about their plan some more.

Dami could really move fast. Within an hour, friends from their dance club started messaging Minji asking if Bora and Siyeon were alright. Minji was impressed with the younger girl's abilities and told them that Siyeon and Bora just came back from the ER.

She told them that Bora was fine, but Siyeon got hurt shielding her, and her messages went wild. Everyone was asking what happened, so Gahyeon quickly called Dami and made sure that their stories matched before she responded.

The story was that Siyeon was staying close to Bora to protect her and were cornered when they were enjoying their day off from school. Yoohyeon came upon them and grabbed the attention of an officer walking by. The boys fled while Yoohyeon and Bora helped Siyeon get to a hospital.

The people around town were already talking about it, and soon it was believed by the students. With Yoohyeon planning to show up tomorrow, it would make it look even better. All Siyeon would have to do is keep her cute outbursts under control.

Once that was settled, the three walked back into the room to see the cutest sight. The two were tangled together and resting peacefully. Even in her sleep, it seemed like Bora was careful of Siyeon’s hurt shoulder, and it was adorable. What made it even better was when they heard Siyeon mumble Bora’s name in her sleep before snuggling closer.

All three had to fight back their squeals at the cuteness. They didn’t want to wake the two up and quickly decided on where to sleep.

“If I don’t sleep with Bora, I usually sleep in the spare room next door. We can go there to sleep so that those two can wake up together peacefully.” Minji said as Gahyeon looked at her suspiciously.

“I'm not going to wake up to any weird noises, am I?” Gahyeon asked as Minji shook her head while Yoohyeon nodded.

“Yoohyeon! Don’t worry the girl!” Minji said as she blushed a vivid red.

“When have we ever been able to just sleep after that incident at the restaurant?” Yoohyeon joked as Minji started to stammer. She was clearly flustered.

“what incident at a restaurant?” Gahyeon asked slowly as she looked at Minji suspiciously.

“Minji took me to a fancy restaurant, and we ordered drinks when these sleazy guys came over, hitting on us. Minji got them to leave, but they must have put something in our drinks when we weren't looking…” Yoohyeon said with a shrug as Minji looked like she was going to implode from embarrassment.

“were you alright? Did they do anything to you?” Gahyeon said as Minji tried to compose herself.

“luckily, Ms. Park was there and noticed something was wrong. She took us home, but when we woke up, we don’t know what happened, but our clothes were off.” Minji said, looking embarrassed.

“I think we can figure out what happened…” Yoohyeon teased as Minji turned red again.

“well, we don’t know for sure. We both don’t remember anything…” Minji said as Yoohyeon smiled. She liked flustering Minji. Usually, she was the one being flustered.

“I now know too much…” Gahyeon said as Yoohyeon laughed.

“well, you are the one that asked!” Yoohyeon said as Gahyeon groaned.

“so, you two have already slept together?” Gahyeon asked as the two suddenly went shy.

“possibly…” Minji said finally as she looked guilty.

“That wasn’t the plan that night. I just wanted to treat Yoohyeon to a nice dinner. Completely PG, but I didn’t know those guys would do that… I didn’t want to rush things, but it happened…” Minji said as Yoohyeon hugged her.

“I didn’t mind. Honestly, I was kind of stressing about how our first time would be. It took the stress off of me, and now I know what I like…” Yoohyeon said with a wink as Gahyeon covered her ears.

“I don’t need to hear that much!” Gahyeon said as the two laughed.

In truth, they didn’t know what really happened that night. They just assumed what happened. Everything was hazy after leaving the place. They remembered getting to Minji’s house and Ms. Park leaving, but after that, there was nothing. Yoohyeon just liked messing with Minji to see how she would react.

That night the three slept in the spare room without any issues. In the morning, Siyeon was woken up early by a sharp pain in her shoulder. It would hurt for quite a while, and the bruising wasn’t helping any.

“ahh…” Siyeon whined softly, but at the sound, Bora was awake.

“Siyeon? Are you alright?” Bora asked as she gently stroked Siyeon’s face.

“it, it hurts. Really bad…” Siyeon said as she clenched her eyes shut and leaned against Bora’s chest with a whimper. It would have been cute if it wasn’t for Siyeon being in so much pain.

“it's alright. They prescribed you some pain medicine. I will go get it, alright?” Bora asked as Siyeon just nodded. She didn’t want to say anything because she was sure it would show Bora just how close she was to crying at the moment.

“wait right here. I will be right back!” Bora said as she kissed the top of Siyeon’s head and carefully untangled herself from Siyeon as she climbed out of bed and rushed to get her medicine.

“I have it right here! I will help you sit up and then give it to you, alright?” Bora said as she set a glass of water and the pills on the nightstand as Siyeon nodded with a grimace. She was clearly in a lot of pain.

“ok, here we go…” Bora said as she slid her arm underneath Siyeon’s shoulder and slowly helped her sit up. Siyeon cried out in pain as Bora apologized. She tried to be as gentle as possible, but Siyeon promised her it wasn’t from that.

“it's not you. I accidentally went to move my arm automatically… I really regret it…” Siyeon said as she looked up at Bora. The smaller girl could see that Siyeon was holding back tears and gently hugged her while being careful of her shoulder.

“don’t worry. It will hurt less in a bit. Here.” Bora said as she helped put the pills into Siyeon’s mouth and handed her the water to drink.

After Siyeon took them, Bora held her as they waited for the pain meds to kick in. It was early in the morning. When Bora looked at the clock, she sighed. It was only 3 am. She was hoping that Siyeon would be able to sleep better, but she guessed that wouldn’t be possible with her injury.

“feeling better, baby?” Bora asked as Siyeon relaxed against her. She could slowly feel Siyeon relaxing as the pain eased, and when Siyeon finally nodded, Bora sighed in relief.

Seeing Siyeon in so much pain made her panic. She didn’t know what to do. She was usually good under pressure, but when Siyeon was involved, she panicked. She didn’t like it when Siyeon was hurting.

“sorry…” Siyeon said apologetically as she leaned against Bora. Just this small contact helped relax Siyeon. Bora always made her feel protected, comfortable. Even on the little things.

“no need to apologize. I'm here for you.” Bora said protectively as she kissed Siyeon’s forehead.

“are you feeling sleepy again?” Bora asked as Siyeon nodded. The medicine was very strong and was making her feel extremely sleepy.

“Alright, lets lay back down then,” Bora said as they got comfortable. Bora gently held Siyeon as they fell back asleep for a couple more hours.

-Minji Yoohyeon and Gahyeon-

The three shared a bed, but Gahyeon didn’t trust the two, so she slept in between them. She quickly realized her mistake, but it was too late. Both girls were clingy when they slept. It was actually rather comforting, but she was starting to sweat from the extra body heat and couldn’t move. She was pinned by the two.

It made it worse when she felt like she had to pee, so she finally decided to break free of the two. It was a struggle. When she tried to move, both tightened their grips slightly, slinging her back onto the bed. On the next try, though, she was successful.

Gahyeon went to go find the bathroom when she heard her sister cry out in the next room. She went to go check on them when she heard Bora wake up and sleepily asked her if she was alright. She stood there as she heard Bora taking care of her sister sweetly. They really seemed like the perfect couple. Bora was so protective of her sister, and Siyeon completely melted around the tiny yet popular girl.

Before she knew it, though, Bora opened the door as she rushed downstairs for Siyeon’s medicine. She was so focused that she didn’t even notice Gahyeon standing there. As she raced up the steps, she finally spotted the younger girl.

“Is everything alright?” Gahyeon asked as Bora nodded, but she still looked panicked.

“she’s just hurting. I just got her pain meds.” Bora said as she looked at the door with a worried expression.

“I don’t like it when she's hurting…” Bora said softly. Gahyeon could feel the anxiety and worry behind those words and smiled.

“We are sleeping in the room next door. Try to get her to sleep some more when the pain eases. She doesn’t sleep well at home…” Gahyeon said as Bora nodded and raced into the room. She didn’t want to ignore Gahyeon, but waiting while Siyeon was in pain was killing her.

Gahyeon was happy to see how worried Bora was. She truly cared for her sister and had proven it several times already. And Bora’s friends had accepted her sister even though they knew how shy she was and were even trying so hard to help her.

‘I hope we can be friends for a long time…’ Gahyeon thought happily as she walked into the room and laughed.

Minji was sleeping soundly now that Yoohyeon was beside her. It was like they were searching for each other all night. Now they both rested peacefully in each other's arms. She wasn’t going to get in between them again and decided to sleep on the plushy chair in the room.

As she snuggled under the blanket that was thrown over the back, she smiled. Both couples were adorable. But she wondered when she would find someone like Bora is with Siyeon.

As she drifted off, her phone chirped. Quickly she took a peek and noticed that it was a message from Dami. Excitedly she sat up and messaged the girl. It was early in the morning, but it seemed that Dami hadn’t slept all night. Instead, she was trying everything she could to help Siyeon and Bora.

The two messaged their plans for several hours until they both fell asleep just before time to wake up. Gahyeon fell asleep, clutching her phone to her chest as she dreamed of today's plan.

-Morning-

Bora’s alarm on her phone went off as she groaned. Was it time to get up already? But when she looked at Siyeon, she instantly smiled. Siyeon was finally sleeping comfortably, even with the sling on. She was worried that she would move her shoulder in her sleep and hurt it more, so falling asleep was a bit more difficult than usual, but Bora holding her made it easier.

Bora’s smile never faltered. This woman truly made her happy. Who would have known? All these years, the girl of her dreams was right by her all along? Gently Bora caressed Siyeon’s cheek lovingly as the younger girl slowly awoke.

“oh, is it morning already?” Siyeon said in a sleepy voice that Bora loved. She nodded as Siyeon sighed and whined.

“But I'm comfortable…” Siyeon said as she snuggled closer. Bora laughed as she hugged her gently and sighed.

“I know… me too. But its time to get ready for school.” Bora said as Siyeon groaned.

“oh no… I forgot…” Siyeon said as Bora laughed again and gently helped Siyeon sit up. Her hands lingered on Siyeon.

“Thanks…” Siyeon said as she winced. The pain was much better, but it didn’t mean that she was completely painless.

“no problem. Let me come around to the other side and help you up. I don’t want you to lose your balance because you are sleepy. I have a tendency to run into walls when I'm too tired…” Bora said as Siyeon laughed.

“no way,” Siyeon said as Minji and the others walked in.

“way. She would usually bump into the walls with her eyes closed. I would have to lead her everywhere, or she would hurt herself…” Minji said as Bora laughed. It was completely true, but she had been sleeping better lately, so she wasn’t struggling to wake up anymore.

“Up you go…” Bora said as she pulled Siyeon up by her good arm and stabilized her as she rested her hand on Siyeon’s hip. Both blushed as they prayed that Minji and the others didn’t notice it, but they did.

“aww! Look at how cute they are together!” Minji cooed as Bora rolled her eyes, but she couldn’t help but smile at the comment.

“sis? You need help getting ready?” Gahyeon asked as Siyeon looked at the sling and sighed.

“I think I need a shower, but I can't lift my arm…” Siyeon said as Minji thought to herself.

“well, one of us can help you. You are talking about washing your hair, right?” Minji asked as Siyeon nodded.

“I can help you,” Bora said as Siyeon blushed.

“I think you would kill her before school. I can do it. You three can just focus on getting ready.” Gahyeon said as everyone nodded and started grabbing their things.

“come on. Let's get you in the shower.” Gahyeon said as she led her sister into the bathroom.

Gahyeon helped Siyeon take the sling off and undress. It felt a bit awkward for the both of them, but they pushed it aside for the moment.

“your bruise still looks pretty bad…” Gahyeon said as she helped Siyeon into the shower stall and had her sit on the bench inside.

“All I know is that it hurts like crazy…” Siyeon said as she held her arm to her side. She didn’t want to hurt it further with the sling being off.

Gahyeon grabbed the showerhead and carefully got the temperature right as she wet Siyeon’s hair. The warm water felt good, and Siyeon sighed happily as her sister started shampooing her hair. It felt nice to have her hair washed. She had worried she wasn’t doing a good job because of her shoulder before.

Once Siyeon’s hair was done, Gahyeon helped her stand and then left her to finish her shower. It was difficult with one arm, but Siyeon managed and soon turned the water off.

Gahyeon came back in at the sound of the water shutting off and helped Siyeon into a fluffy robe as she led her out into the room where Bora was waiting with a towel.

“come sit here. I will help you dry your hair.” Bora said as Siyeon looked at her sister. She knew that Gahyeon had to get ready too, but she felt like her sister was behind this as she fled the room quickly.

“um, thanks…” Siyeon said nervously as she sat in the chair. Bora gently started drying her hair, and she had to admit it felt nice. Bora was always so careful not to hurt her.

“I was told that they formed a plan while we slept. No one should bother you today. I also have packed some of your pain meds if you need them. ok?” Bora said as she leaned around to see Siyeon blushing. She was so close, and Siyeon couldn’t help but look at her beautiful lips.

Before she could say anything, though, Bora came around and tilted her head up as she kissed her gently. She still hadn’t forgotten about the stitches.

Siyeon sighed happily as she felt Bora’s lips against hers. It felt so right, and as they kissed, she got a flashback of the night in the hospital. Her memories were hazy, but she remembered kissing Bora.

The kiss soon stopped to Siyeon’s disappointment, but soon Bora was brushing her hair. Siyeon looked into the mirror to see Bora smiling happily as she brushed her hair and smiled. Bora treated her so well. She would have never thought someone as amazing as Bora existed for her. Siyeon was pulled from her thoughts, though when Bora spoke.

“done! Now let's get you dressed and go downstairs to eat!” Bora said as Siyeon froze on the spot and blushed.

“w, what?” Siyeon asked as Bora smiled.
