Chapter 11

~APRIL 25 ; VENTURA'S RESIDENCE~

"Ma (Mom)!"

Called Danica to her mother.

"Ano (What)?"

Asked Danica's mother who's at the kitchen cooking some food.

"I'LL JUST HANG OUT WITH HAYDEN AND YEONAE, OK?"

Said Danica to her mother.

"Ingat (Take care)!"

Replied Danica's mother to her. Danica walk out of their house, towards Hayden's car and hops in there at the passenger's seat.

~INSIDE THE CAR~

"WHO TOLD YOU THAT YOU COULD SIT THERE?"

Asked Hayden to Danica as he looks at her with wide eyes. Danica just glared at him and buckled her seatbelt.

"Will you just start driving so that we could hang out more with Yeonae-ya and Jaeho-ya?"

Asked Danica to Hayden. He just rolled his eyes at her and start driving.

"Yeonhun Hyeong (older guy/brother *male to male*) told me that Jihun went at their house with Wonhyeon-a the other day."

Said Hayden to Danica while he's driving. Danica just looked at him in shock.

"Ano (What)!?"

Shout Danica at Hayden with shock.

"Ano nangyari (What happened)?! Okay lang ba si Yeonae (Is Yeonae okay)!? Sabihin mo (Tell me)!"

Asked Danica at Hayden in Tagalog.

"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU SAYING!? WILL YOU PLEASE SPEAK IN ENGLISH OR KOREAN SO THAT I CAN UNDERSTAND YOU?!"

Complain Hayden to Danica while he's not looking at her.

"Di ko kaya (I can't)! Nagpapanik ako (I'm panicking)!"

Answered Danica to Hayden in Tagalog again. Hayden made a stop at the side of the road and hold Danica's hands.

"HEY! HEY! LOOK AT ME DANICA. LOOK AT ME."

Said Hayden to Danica as he tries to make her look at him. Danica finally looked at him.

"FOLLOW MY INSTRUCTIONS, OKAY?"

Said Hayden to Danica while he's still holding her hands. Danica just nods as an answer.

"BREATH IN... BREATH OUT... BREATH IN... BREATH OUT."

Instruct Hayden to Danica who's now following his instruction.

"AGAIN, AGAIN. BREATH IN... BREATH OUT... BREATH IN... BREATH OUT... YOU OKAY NOW?"

Asked Hayden to Danica as he releases his hold at Danica's hands.

"YEAH... I'M... I'M OKAY NOW."

Answered Danica to Hayden. That makes him relieved.

"GOOD."

Replied Hayden and then he starts the engine of his car and continued driving again.

"IS YEONAE-YA OKAY?"

Asked Danica to Hayden.

"Yeonhun Hyeong (older guy/brother *male to male*) told me that she's okay. But he wants to be assured, that's why we're going to hang out at the usual with Jaeho. Hyeong(older guy/brother *male to male*) already contacted him yesterday."

Answered Hayden to Danica's question as he parks his car at the front of the Yoo's residence and started to press the horn of his car.

"It's almost been a month since we last hang out in there."

Side comment Danica and thinks deeply as Yeonae hops in Hayden's car and took a sit at the back.

"OH, HOW I MISSED YOU GUYS! IT'S BEEN A WEEK AND A FEW MORE DAYS SINCE I LAST SAW YOUR UGLY FACES!"

Said Yeonae happily to both Hayden and Danica as he starts driving again.

"Just shut up if you're just going to insult me."

Said Danica to Yeonae as she crossed her arms and pouts.

"But you're just panicking earlier when I told you that Jihun went to Yeonae's house."

Said Hayden to Danica as he chuckled because of her. Yeonae's happiness fade a little bit after hearing what Hayden said to Danica.

"You okay now, Yeonae?"

Asked Hayden to Yeonae as he takes a glimpse at her at the rear-view mirror.

"Yeah, yeah. I'm okay now. Gwaenchana (It's okay). I'm fine."

Answered Yeonae to Hayden as she smiled and look at him at the rear-view mirror. Hayden just sighed.

"If you say so."

Said Hayden to Yeonae as he continues driving.

"Just hurry up, will you? Maybe Jaeho-ya's already there waiting for us."

Said Danica to Jaeho as she hit Hayden's shoulder.

"Do you want us to get caught by a police officer because of a traffic violation!?"

Asked Hayden to Danica as he concentrates on his driving. Yeonae just looked at them with wide eyes. Danica suddenly looked at Yeonae.

"WHAT THE HELL IS THAT LOOK?"

Asked Danica to Yeonae who's looking at her with wide eyes.

"WHERE ARE WE GOING? I THOUGHT IT'S ONLY THE THREE OF US WILL HANG OUT TOGETHER TODAY? IS JAEHO REALLY GONNA BE WITH US? PLEASE DON'T PLAY PRANKS ON ME AGAIN."

Asked Yeonae to Danica continuously and that made Danica looked at Yeonae confusedly.

"Easy there, bestie. We aren't in a car chase to be like that."

Said Danica to Yeonae as she tries to calm her down.

"We're going at 'the usual' instead of the mall. There will be the four of us hanging out together, and yes. Jaeho will hang out with us at 'the usual'. We aren't playing pranks on you after Yeonhun Hyeong (older guy/brother *male to male*) told me that Jihun go to your house with Wonhyeon the other day."

Answered Hayden to Yeonae's questions that Danica has ignored a while ago. Yeonae's wide eyes turned towards Hayden. He took a glimpse at Yeonae again.

"You're joking... Right?"

Asked Yeonae again to Hayden. Danica just looked at Yeonae and then looks at Hayden quietly.

"Am not joking right now."

Answered Hayden to Yeonae as he parked the car underneath the cliff where they usually hang out since they we're young.

~THE USUAL~

"WHY... IT HAS... TO BE... AT THE TOP... OF THE... CLIFF!?"

Complain Danica as she catches her breath and they finally reached the top of the cliff.

"BECAUSE IT HAS A BEAUTIFUL VIEW THAT CAN MAKE US CALM AND AT PEACE."

Answered Hayden to Danica as they are now entering the house.

"Is it just me... or the house really changed?"

Asked Yeonae to both Hayden and Danica as she stood still at the door entrance.

"It becomes..."

Said Hayden but he didn't finish his sentence because he's too amazed of the place.

"A purple haven."

Said Jaeho suddenly from the back of Hayden, Danica and Yeonae. She quickly looked back and ran towards Jaeho to hug him and he hugs her back. Hayden and Danica just smiled at them.

"I've heard what happened."

Said Jaeho to Yeonae while they are still hugging each other. Yeonae hugs him more tightly and started crying. Jaeho just carry her, walk towards the couch in front of the television and make her sit there while she's still crying and hugging him while he's now kneeling in front of Yeonae. Hayden and Danica just walk towards the balcony to give them both Yeonae and Jaeho space and time to talk to each other.

"You're so brave to face your fear of Jihun. I'm very proud of you."

Said Jaeho to Yeonae as he kissed her head. Yeonae let go of her hug at Jaeho and looked at him with her teary eyes and cheeks then smiled at him. And that made Jaeho cry and hugs Yeonae once again. She hugged him back.

Danica and Hayden just watched Yeonae and Jaeho from the balcony. Hayden just sighed and Danica looked at him.

"WHAT?"

Asked Danica to Hayden while she's still looking at him. Hayden suddenly looks at Danica.

"WHAT WHAT?"

Asked Hayden back at Danica and looks at her confusedly.

"WHY DID YOU SIGHED?"

Asked Danica to Hayden again while she's still looking at him. Hayden looks back at Yeonae and Jaeho.

"IF ONLY I COULD ONLY TAKE THEIR PAINS AWAY AND MADE THEM MINE. MAYBE THEY AREN'T CRYING RIGHT NOW AND LAUGHING INSTEAD."

Answered Hayden to Danica's question. She just looks at them again and felt her heart ache seeing Yeonae and Jaeho crying and comforting each other at the same time.

"DON'T WORRY TOO MUCH. THEY HAVE EACH OTHER, REMEMBER? THEY CAN PASS ANY KIND OF OBSTACLES IN THEIR LIFE AS LONG AS THEY HAVE EACH OTHER. THEY ARE AS TOUGH AS DIAMONDS."

Said Danica to Hayden and to herself too to stop her heart from aching because of the sad scenario they are seeing. Hayden suddenly smiles.

"YOU'RE RIGHT. THEY ARE AS TOUGH AS DIAMONDS."

Replied Hayden to Danica as he turns around and look at the view below the cliff. Danica just followed.

"You okay now, Jaeho?"

Asked Yeonae to Jaeho as they both releases their hug at each other. Jaeho just looked at her, nods and then smiled with his puppy eyes. Yeonae smiled back at him and pat his head.

"Geumanhae (Stop it), cutie."

Said Yeonae to Jaeho as she pinches his cheeks. Then suddenly she felt that she's having another Deja vu that made her look at Jaeho strangely.

"What's wrong, Yeonae?"

Asked Jaeho to Yeonae as soon as he notices Yeonae's strange look at him. She just looks at him in the eyes.

"I feel I'm having a Deja vu again."

Answered Yeonae as soon as she stopped pinching Jaeho's cheeks. He just takes a sit beside Yeonae and place his arm at the couch.

"What kind of Deja vu?"

Asked Jaeho again to Yeonae while he's looking at her.

"It seems that I've already pinched someone's cheeks before... But I don't know who or when it happened."

Answered Yeonae to Jaeho's question as she touches her chin.

"Whatever it is, you'll remember it. You just got to wait for your mind to work on it."

Said Jaeho to Yeonae as he holds her hand that is touching her chin, place her hand on her lap and then hugs her. Yeonae just giggled because of what Jaeho did.

"You feeling okay now, Yeonae?"

Asked Jaeho to Yeonae as he releases his hug at Yeonae. She smiled.

"Ne (Yes). I'm okay now."

Answered Yeonae to Jaeho's question. He smiled at her.

"So... What do you guys want to do?"

Asked Hayden to both Yeonae and Jaeho as he and Danica walk towards them. Both of them just looked at each other and take a look at Hayden and Yeonae.

"You guys watch whatever you want to watch in my dual flash drive while Jaeho and I will continue the story that I'm working on."

Answered Yeonae to Hayden's question and gave her dual flash drive to Jaeho to plug in her flash drive at the television. Hayden and Danica look at each other, smiled and took a sit at the couch in front of the television. As soon as Jaeho plugs in the dual flash drive, he gave the remote to Danica and Yeonae stood up from the couch and both Yeonae and Jaeho walk towards the couch at the balcony.

"Let's watch 'Fantasticks 2'! It's about a family who has super powers and then their enemy is a technology genius!"

Said Danica to Hayden as she searches for the 'Fantasticks 2'.

"Oh, no. Let's watch 'Vengers: Everlasting War'. It's about the Vengers fighting against an alien who is finding the Everlasting Stones just to make the half of the universe disappear."

Said Hayden to Danica. And the both of the continued bickering with each other.

Jaeho and Yeonae just laughs at Hayden and Danica from the balcony as they hear them bickering.

"So. Should we include them in my story as an inspiration?"

Asked Yeonae to Jaeho as she look at him and smirked. Jaeho smirked, too.

"Absolutely."

Answered Jaeho and then Yeonae start typing at her phone.

"And Violet (name of the protagonist in Yeonae's work) spend the rest of the day with her other crazy friends who is always bickering with each other, Haymish (name of Hayden in Yeonae's work) and Daniellie (name of Danica in Yeonae's work)."

Said Yeonae as she types the sentence on her phone. Jaeho cracked up because of what Yeonae said.

"Oh. Oh. Add this... 'And as they spent the rest of the day together, they felt happy, entertained, satisfied and contented of how they spent their day messing around, living their lives and acting like crazy as if there's no tomorrow'. What do you say?"

Asked Jaeho to Yeonae as he smiled at her and move his eyebrows upwards and downwards. Yeonae chuckled.

"Perfect."

Answered Yeonae as she types what Jaeho said to her. Jaeho and Yeonae continued writing in her story and Hayden and Danica finally chose a movie to watch. And they've spent their day happily.
