MIRACLE: OUR FOREVER

17. ONE-SIDED?

The morning breeze accompanied the table that was occupied by the two women in their office attire. It's been silent for a while since they get their morning coffee and just spend their time sitting and enjoying the morning before they start their routine at work.

Yuki had been intently staring at her friend, who appeared completely lost in thought. Today, Yuki had to go out of her way by waking up earlier than usual to meet her best friend's demand for a coffee date. She couldn't help but question why her friend had chosen a Monday of all days.

"Ehermmm." Yuki clears her throat to get Mon's attention. But, the brunette was still deep in her thoughts.

"You know, I didn't wake up an hour earlier, on MONDAY, just to look at you spacing out and enjoying the morning breeze. Just want to let you know, btw." Yuki said sarcastically.

Mon sighed deeply, and Yuki couldn't help but be worried about Mon's reaction.

"What's wrong, Mon. Penny, for your thoughts? It's rare for you to be in silence when you're hanging out with me." Yuki tried her shot to get the brunette to pour out her thoughts.

"Yuki..." Mon called flatly, which caused the other girl to nod and sit up straight on her chair, ready to hear everything that had been bothering the brunette for a while.

"You know that I went out with Sam last Saturday, right?" She starts to talk

"Uhumm," Yuki responded, but Mon fell into silence again.

"So... how's the date?" Yuki initiated the question since her friend looked troubled, finding suitable words to start her story.

"So...." She sighed again. "It's not really about the date. It's about what the date did to me." Yuki's eyebrows connected, hearing her friend's confusing sentence.

"Ughhhh I don't know how to say it" Mon seemed frustrated looking at Yuki's confused face.

"Look, you can just simplify your words and jump straight to the point," Yuki stated with a slight irritation in her voice as Mon kept playing the pulling game in revealing her thoughts.

"My feeling got worse."

"Ha??" Her confusion only grew instead of dissipating.

"My feelings for Khun Sam got worse." She elaborated on it a little.

"What do you mean got worse? Did she do something inappropriate with you? What happened?" Yuki becomes impatient after Mon's statement. She's ready to throw fists if anything happens to her best friend, no matter who that person is.

"No, no, no... not that kind of worsen." She tried to clear the air.

"Then??" Yuki got more frustrated. "Mon, I know you're a woman, but you don't need to prove it to me with this double-meaning statement. Now, get to the point and tell me what has been bothering you?" Her nose flared, showing her frustration.

"Okay, okay, sorry, okay. Can you take a deep breath for me first?" Mon shows her guilty face, and Yuki takes a breath as advice.

"Okay, this is my best friend," Mon stated happily after Yuki had calmed down.

"Come on, don't waste more time. We still need to get to the office, you know."

"Okay, the thing is,..." Mon finally started her story. "... On our last date, I got to see the other side of Khun Sam. This means the opposite of what she had displayed in front of others. It's different." Mon reminiscing their last date.

"Is it a positive or negative one?" Yuki interrupted with her question.

"Mostly positive..." She suddenly remembers the angry side of Khun Sam during her fight with P' Song, 'Well, that one definitely not a positive one.'
