Chapter 13
"Unnie, wait! Are you sure about this?"
"Hey! It's not that I don't know how, ok? I'm quite experienced. Don't you trust me?"
"I do. But it's not the question of trust, unnie. I have to make sure we're not going to be hurt."
"Why would we be? I'll go slow. Slow and gentle."
"Oh, god. Choi Yujin, this is our first time!"
"So? Relax, Ting. I got you."
If anyone would hear their conversation, they might think it's something else. Two girls close to each other in a private space. The taller girl was nervous. The other is confident she'll do good. What exactly it could be?
"We'll be ok. Put it on."
Yujin reminded as she helped Xiaoting put on her seat belt. Yes. She would be driving and Xiaoting is unsure of it. She knows Yujin has a license, but she needs to know her driving skills. Besides, it's late at night. Cars go faster this time.
"How did you even make our manager say yes to doing this? Isn't this his car too?" Xiaoting is in disbelief of what lengths and heights Yujin can go to if she pushes what she wants to do.
"That's why it took me longer to come back to the dorm."
"Aaah. This is what took you so long? This is what you asked him. Woah, unnie!" Xiaoting is dumbfounded. Yujin is unbelievable at times.
"Yep. It's not easy to convince him. He's stubborn too, you know. Although, I'm not sure whether he initially refused because he's worried for us, or this baby."
Yujin chuckles as she honks the car. Xiaoting just shook her head and rolled her eyes at her.
In fairness, Yujin is a smooth driver. It makes Xiaoting ease her worries and appreciate the sight beside her. Their leader looks relaxed for someone hurrying a few minutes ago. Her left hand was on the steering wheel, her right resting on the window, biting on her index finger.
"Oh god. She's so fine", Xiaoting mindlessly whispers. It's her first time seeing Yujin like this, so if her heart was pounding from earlier, this time, it's going crazy.
"What?" The older asks.
Xiaoting didn't notice she was staring, fascinated by how Yujin looked incredibly attractive just by driving.
"First time seeing a driver this pretty?" The leader giggles.
It's no use turning away now. So even though she's sure she's as red as that stop light, Xiaoting, with a proud smile said, "Yes, very pretty."
"Woah! Unnie! This is beautiful!"
The younger beams and her eyes sparkle like the distant skyscrapers. They just reached their destination and Xiaoting looks so amazed at where Yujin brought her.
Watching Xiaoting like that, reminded Yujin of the first time she ever confirmed her feelings for her member. It's insane how she was just standing there, yet still looks so breathtaking and mesmerizing. Her camera won't do justice to how perfect Xiaoting looks right now.
"Come."
The older girl takes Xiaoting's hand as they walk to the opposite side of the place. They stopped in front of the railings.
Yujin took Xiaoting to the famous N-Tower. At this hour, there weren't as many people in the area.
The younger have been wanting to go here, but their schedules won't allow them. It's also unlikely that the Chinese girl go alone at this hour. So Yujin took this chance to make her member's wish happen. She's nowhere the romantic type, but she wanted to try at least. She wanted this to be Xiaoting's first memory of this place.
"Do you like it here?", she asks.
"I love it! I love it, unnie. It's beautiful."
Xiaoting is lost in admiring the place. The distant city lights, the breeze, the love locks evident of the many love stories and promises made, the soft music playing in the background, and Yujin, the ever lovely Yujin beside her. She couldn't ask for more. This is perfect.
Now, as much as Xiaoting is taking the sight to her heart, that is how much Yujin is saving it to her memory. She feels proud of bringing this girl here. Look at that twinkle in her eye. She would do anything and more to keep it glimmer.
"Ting." She softly calls. Xiaoting turns to her and they both sit down on a bench. "There is still something left that we haven't talked about, right?" She asked, just wanting to confirm whether her member remembered.
Xiaoting's heart starts pounding hard again. Could it be that one?
