26 True Friends (2/2)
Eunha took a deep breath. Multiple plans ran through her mind, trying to think of a way to ease her friend. However, after looking at Yoona's state, it was hard to pick a method. She didn't want it to backfire and make Yoona feel worse.
She laughed. ”You know what happened at work today?”
Lucas nodded in approval. Good topic diversion.
Yoona c.o.c.ked her head. ”What happened? I can't guess.”
”Well,” Eunha began. Her eyes swindled back and forth, trying to muster her words. ”Um. Well, nothing really happened actually. You weren't there so it was boring.”
Lucas was shocked. This was definitely not what he was expecting! From his guess, Eunha was nervous about making Yoona feel better. She just didn't want to further hurt her friend.
Yoona laughed softly. She could tell what her friends were trying to do. Although Eunha's execution was awkward, it did make her happy. The whole situation was kinda funny.
Lucas's hard gaze soften when he saw the smile on Yoona's face. They were making progress.
Since Yoona understood the good intention of her friends, she sat on her couch and signaled for the other two to come sit down. They obeyed and Eunha sat right beside of her while Lucas sat on the floor in front of them.
She began to explain her situation. All the way to the very beginning of her relations with the Moon siblings to the heart-wrenching end. While speaking, tears continuously flowed down her face.
The two listened carefully, not letting a single piece of detail miss their ears. Everything about the story was an emotional roller coaster, they couldn't believe how severe these Moon siblings were! They had also never seen Yoona cry so they were shocked to see the pain she kept inside of her.
As the story progressed, Lucas's fists turned white. He was mad. Terrifyingly mad.
Eunha wanted to punch their faces. How dare they play with Yoona's heart!
After Yoona finished, the two were absolutely silent. They could not believe the absurdity of the story. To think these types of people existed in the world. It was shocking to say at least.
Lucas was the first to speak.
”f.u.c.king h.e.l.l. I am going to kill those motherf.u.c.kers.”
How sick were these people? He couldn't comprehend the logic running through their heads. Never in his life did he expect to hear such a story. During his life, he'd gone to different restaurants and met many people of all personalities; however, he'd never seen anyone quite like these Moon siblings. Disgusting. Absolutely disgusting.
Eunha squeezed Yoona's hand. ”That's absolutely horrifying to hear about. What kind of human would do that to another human?”
”One that has no brain or compa.s.sion,” Lucas muttered.
He always knew that there was something off about Jaemin, but to think that this was it. How disgusting. These two were worse than the cheating boyfriend last week at work. At least the boyfriend didn't purposely try to ruin his girlfriend's lives.
”Thanks guys,” Yoona said. Her heart was touched.
Eunha nodded. ”So when are we going to kill them?”
Yoona shook her head, a small smile appearing on her lips. She loved the enthusiasm of her friends, and even though she wasn't a vengeful person, revenge did sound appealing. However, the Moon siblings were rich and powerful. They could not even put a scratch on them as regular citizens.
”Unfortunately, they are protected by the Moon group so we can't do anything about it. All I can do is survive and keep my smile.”
The difference between the rich and poor was the reality of life. No matter how cruel the actions were of the high-cla.s.s people, they would not get punished for their actions. Justice was never served. Of course, sometimes if the law is involved then the poor might have a shot, but in reality, the system was corrupt. There was only a slim chance to obtaining justice.
It was the sad reality of life, and Yoona had to accept it.
They all had to accept it.
Although Eunha wanted to protest and say there was hope, in the bottom of her mind, she also knew that they could do nothing. Life wasn't a drama. There was no way to bring the Moon siblings down without money.
”We will be there for you, you know that right?” Eunha a.s.sured. ”We will try our best to help you keep a smile.”
Lucas ran his fingers through his blond hair. ”And i'll try to think of a way to get back at them. Even if it's only a tiny dent.”
The warmth Yoona felt was priceless. Friends really do make a difference. She thought that everything was lost but her friends were here to help her stand up.
There really was good people in this world.
Although her heart wasn't completely healed; she was still deathly afraid of these two leaving her as well. But at the moment, their sincerity was enough to make her relax.
”You guys don't know how much of a difference you are making in my life right now,” Yoona said. Tears began to well up in her eyes. ”Thank you so much.”
The two friends looked at each other before dissolving into smiles.
”You're welcome,” Eunha said.
Lucas nodded. ”We got your back squirt.”

If you are curious to how the characters look like then I have some pictures from online to show you. None of them are mine, all rights to the owners. The characters don't need to look like this in your mind, and there are some difference in the photos than I had imagined the friends to look like. Nonetheless, they have the same atmosphere so it'll be help when it comes to visualization!

Also, one of the reasons to why I think this part is really important is that I didn't want Yoona to only rely on Minhyun for her mental health. I didn't want to make her dependent on only the male lead. This part shows that there are other people in her life to lean onto. Slowly, through all this love, she will become a strong person.
Remember, as Minhyun said, he is Yoona's sword to help her through life. He is not something she can't live without like food supply. This is how a healthy relations.h.i.+p should be ;)
ALSO I LOVE LUCAS. I'VE SAID IT BEFORE AND I SHALL SAY IT AGAIN ♥
