Hyoyoung cupid plan vs. Tiffany’s cupid plan.

Tiffany didn’t want to admit it, But it seems like Hyoyoung, those two knuckleheads has more luck trying to pair up, coldhearted Kwon Yuri and ADD child Im Yoona, than her with Scary shika and midget Taeyeon.

She could only blame it on one thing. She was just too beautiful that Taeyeon can’t get over her that quick.

But she had to for the sake of her beautiful face, if not Jessica would make a canvas out of it.

So, right now, as she and her friends are doing some Christmas shopping, she observes and takes note what the two do to melt the heart of one icy Kwon Yuri.

Hyoyoung’s cupid plan: The more you love, the more you hate.

Annoy Yuri with countless teasing of Yoona, until Yuri is unconsciously thinking of Yoona.

“So Yul…” Sooyoung nudges Yuri with her Cheetos stained finger “Why so quiet dude?”

“Do you miss your baby?” Hyoyeon troll peeps out, bobbing her brow.

Grrrrrr…

“I don’t miss Yoona…” Yuri instantly snaps back.

“Yoona? Who said anything about Yoona?”

“Yes… I was saying do you miss your baby sister, you know Seo.”

Yuri looks like she was caught by her parents reading . Her face bright red and she remained still. But it was too late, her friends already caught her expression and Hyoyoung have mentally highfive each other for their success.

“Don’t mess with me," Yuri snarls back “I know you two meant Yoona.”

“No we did not… we weren’t even THINKING of her.”

And Hyoyeon just had to snicker inside as she saw the stunned look on Yuri’s face.

“Well… ummm…. Ahhhh…”

“Whoah…” Sooyoung says in wonder.

The rest of the girls turn and sees a chicken mascot dancing gangman style in the middle of the mall. But if that’s not enough, the chicken was now doing the worm. and people were starting to gather around, videoing him or her. This chicken is going to be a youtube sensation and put Psy gangnam style to the gutters.

Then, out of nowhere the chicken starts jumping up and down happily at the sight of them.

“Did it just got excited out of nowhere?”

“Maybe it realize that it’s a chicken and she’s about to get fried anytime.”

“Or her kids… those poor eggs… didn’t even have the chance to see the light of day.”

Hyoyeon and Sooyoung shakes their head, pitying the poor chicken.

“IT’S A MASCOT! IT’S NOT A REAL CHICKEN! THERE’S A PERSON UNDERNEATH IT… GEEZ!”

Yuri quickly shakes her head when the over excited chicken somehow reminded her of someone. A certain someone who seems to be so busy nowadays.

Hmmm… maybe Yoona have finally realize that all her feelings for Yuri was just a childish crush and move on to annoy somebody. But somehow that thought didn’t mesh so well in Yuri’s head. But isn’t that what she wants to happen? For Yoona to move on and leave her alone?

Yuri just groan as she continue to have debate internally. She turns her attention to the display on the window, hoping it would shake off the thoughts in her head. She was concentrating so hard on the dress on the window that she didn’t notice a giant chicken was now bouncing towards her.

Boing… Boing…Boing… Is the sound of the giant chicken hopping over to her.

And Toink… Yuri goes down as the chicken mascot just bumps her in the hip.

“What the?” But before Yuri could snap at the chicken she knows she would look totally ridiculous if people sees her arguing with a chicken.

“HIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!!!!” The gigantic chicken waves her equally gigantic wing at Yuri. “Did you miss me?”

Yuri should have known… there can only be one person in the world who could be this bouncy. The chicken mascot took off her head and what do you know… Yuri’s guess was right…

“Yoona…” Yuri growls her name…

“Hi y bear…”

“Pffft… y bear?”

The three friends gave each other this playful teasing look that Yuri doesn’t find amusing.

“You guys hush… Why are you in a chicken suit?”

“I took a part time job for Christmas break.” Yoona announces proudly “I’m saving for our future.”

Yoona bats her lashes cutely, and the sight of that reminds Yuri of this old cartoon of a skunk who tries to romance this cat.

“F-future?” That word was enough to stun Yuri.

“Awwwwww….”

Yoona might not charm Yuri but she sure charm the other girls.

“Yes… never too early to start… so where are you guys going?”

“Christmas shopping…”

“I’ll come with you!” Yoona says hurriedly trying to grab Yuri’s hand with her wing.

“Remember our deal…” Yuri quickly pulls her hand away.

“Yes I do… but our deal is we can’t hold hands, not that we can’t hold my wing.”

The three girls turn their gaze down, not wanting to point to their friend about her loss.

“Don’t you have work?”

“It’s my break… so come on… time’s a wasting…”

“You’re such a kid.” Yuri shakes her head before turning to her friends.

Her friends that she swore were here a few minutes ago.

“God Damn it…” Yuri grabs her phone off her purse and starts texting her friends in ALL CAPS.

To: Fany, Hyo and Soo
WHERE THE BEEEP ARE YOU?!

But she needs answers quick, and waiting for a text is not cutting it. So, she hurriedly dial their numbers.

“Damn!” Yuri growls as no one from the other line picked up. “Damn it!”

“So, I guess it’s just you and me now.”

AAAAARRRRGGGGHHHH…

Yuri turns around and stomps away, followed by Yoona skipping beside her.

Unknown to the two girls there are three others keeping a close watch on them. They could practically see the steam blowing off Yuri’s ears as she walks with the chicken.

Why is this situation with Taeyeon so hard for Jessica Jung?

Oh yeah… she almost forgot… She was so used to people just groveling at her feet, but not this time. Taeyeon won’t even look at her, unless of course she’s giving her coffee. That’s why Jessica is always there, ordering coffee just to have that split second moment with Taeyeon.

And even with Tiffany’s help it seem like nothing is going right between the two. So, today, Jessica swore that would change.

She red it in a magazine say something positive… it brightens up a person’s day and by the end of the day, people remember the good thing that someone said to them.

And that’s her goal.. to make Taeyeon remember her…

So, right now as she was standing by the counter. She needed to say something positive… She looks around what is positive? She don’t know anything positive…

Hmmm… the coffee? Taeyeon? Taeyeon is positive…

The coffee is good? Taeyeon is good? What? What?”

"Here’s your coffee…” Taeyeon hands the coffee cup to Jessica…

“Thanks” Shiz… Jessica cursed inwardly after missing her chance. “Ummm… Taeyeon…”

“Huh?”

“The ummm… ahhh…” Jessica looks around for something to compliment. “Your cash register look cool.”

Cash register? Really Jessica?

“Oh… I never heard anybody talk about our cash register… that’s… that’s cool… thanks…”

“Sure..”

Jessica walks away, hoping her positive action works.

“OMO!”

Usually nothing stops Jessica but Jessica turned back anyway.

“HELP!!! HE’S CHOKING ON A BISCOTTI!!!!”

Taeyeon, being the manager of the coffeeshop, needs to do damage control before anything.

“Call for help!” Taeyeon commanded one of the barista as she jumps out of the counter to do something.

“Oh no you di-int…” Jessica growls, her eyesight darkens as she sees Taeyeon giving the person a backhug.

Taeyeon was giving the person a Heimlich maneuver.

“OH NO!! He lost consciousness!”

Taeyeon’s brain is getting rattled, but she had no choice but to give the person a CPR…

A CPR that for Jessica looks like a kiss…

OH HELL NO!!!!”

Jessica jumps in before Taeyeon could even try anything. She elbows the guy on the gut, making the biscotti spew out of his mouth.

The unconscious guy gave one big gasp until he starts coughing…

“You…”

Jessica looks and the girl pointing at her with shaky fingers.

“You save his life…” She says thankfully.

“What?”

“JESSICA JUNG IS A HERO!!!!!!”

“Wait…”

And before Jessica could say anything people are standing up giving her a standing ovation, clapping slowly…

“Ahhh well…”

*

“People are looking at you,” Yuri growls in embarrassment as everyone just have to turn and look at her and the giant chicken. “Go to the bathroom and take off that ridiculous suit.”

“I can’t.”

“And why not?”

Yoona leans closer, looking cautiously as if careful not to reveal her secret.

“I got too hot so I took off my clothes, I only have my undershirt and boxers on,” Yoona whispers, followed by her fluttering of eyelashes… This was one of her unconcious habits, that Yuri couldn't help but admit was pretty damn cute.

“God…” Yuri says irritatingly… “You should have at least change.”

“But I don’t want to waste another second without you,” Yoona pouts… “Would you stay if I change?”

“I might…”

“No you won’t,” Yoona grumbles “You might leave me, I don’t want you to leave me.”

Yoona shakes her head and frowns at that thought.

“I won’t…” Yuri growls…

“Yes you would…” Yoona stomps her chicken feet like a child

“Fine! Stay like that! Stay like a chicken in a freaking mall!”

*

It was the third store that she and Yuri went in. Yoona wasn’t really much of a shopper, instead she uses her allowance to buy food and videogame, never clothes or anything girly like that.

So, when Yuri walk in to the third clothing store that for Yoona felt like the same kind as the other two, Yoona was immediately bored.

“Were going to have a Christmas party for the student government as the president I need to look presentable… And if you don’t want to stay, then go…”

Yoona wanted so bad to whine, but she shuts up, knowing she might annoy Yuri and Yuri might shoo her off.

“I don’t think it matters what you wear.”

“Hmmm?”

“Because you will always look beautiful.”

“Pfft… You just say that…”

“No you are… like yesterday in class, there is these two girls talking about how pretty you are…”

Yuri turns and looks at Yoona who looks excited to say the story.

“I raised my hand and told them… You’re my girlfriend…”

“And?”

Yoona frowns as she remembers what the other girls reactions were. “They laugh at my face…Said I was delusional…”

“What you say?” Yuri asks in amusement, although its feels kinda rude to laugh about the younger girl’s misery.

“I told them that’s okay but they shouldn’t expect that they’re going to be invited to our wedding.”

Yuri just ends up pursing her lips to stop herself from laughing.

“Really?”

“And I gave them a headbutt… They werent’ talking anymore after that…” Yoona scoffs confidently.

“After you find a dress, can we do something fun?”

Yuri don’t really seem to agree about Yoona’s idea of fun.

“Maybe… but you have to change first…”

“A dress?” Yoona doesn’t approve of it.

“Yes…”

“I don’t like dresses…”

“But I’m paying for it so you have no choice…”

Yoona quickly frowns, she likes her hoodies and track suits, not the girly things like this. Her frown only got worse when Yuri picks a flowery dress. It so not her style.

“Here… go to the dressing room and try it on…”

Yoona scoffs before crossing her wings together “No…”

“Yes.”

“Nooo.”

“What? you would rather wear a chicken suit than a dress?”

“Well… ummm… It would take too much time if I change.”

Yuri thinks that Yoona was just a kid who enjoys wearing costumes and now she had enough of dealing with her.

“Fine… stay that way…”

Yuri walks away fast, purposely ignoring Yoona.

*

“Yuriiii… let’s race!”

Yoona grabs on Yuri’s hand and excitedly drags Yuri to the arcade. Yuri havent been in one for years and has no planning going inside, especially with a chicken.

“No…”

“But it’s fun… c’mon I will let you win…”

Yuri spun around and narrowed her eyes at Yoona.

“No.”

“Come on! Come on!” Yoona says excitedly “It’s so cool… you can design your own car!”

But Yuri remains glued to her spot, looking so annoyed.

“C’mon… please?” Yoona says pleadingly…

“Don’t talk to me you overgrown bird!”

Yuri stares and could see that Yoona started to get all teary eyed and her lips quivering like she’s about to cry any second.

Yoona quickly covers her face with her wings.

“What?” Yuri tries to peer beneath the white wings “Are you crying?”

Yoona shakes her head even if it was obvious she was crying because of the huhuhu sound she’s making.

“Yes.. you are!”

“No… I’m not…”

“Why are you crying?”

“Because I made you mad…” Yoona says tearfully…

“Really?” Yuri raised her brow.

Yuri takes a deep breath to calm herself. This was the reason she doesn’t want to be in relationships because of the baggage and emotion that goes along with it.

If her old self could see her now, she would definitely ROFL and LMAO and LOL as well at who she’s stuck with… Her ideal type was someone mature and confident, although Yoona has confidence too much of it, but mature? Yoona needs some serious growing up to do…

But making Yoona cry, feels like when you make a child cry. You get satisfaction for a little bit, then end up feeling guilty, doing anything you can to pacify the tears.

“Yes… if I made you mad, you will break up with me… and if you break up with me I don’t know how I can live anymore.”

It sounded so cheesy, but Yuri realize that that’s just how Yoona is, she’s passionate and too innocent for her own good.

“No you didn’t…” Yuri groans, pulling Yoona’s wing down… "Fine… let’s… let’s play…”

“You’re not mad at me anymore?” Yoona says through her sniffles.

Irritated… annoyed… homicidal… suicidal…

“No… I’m not… now let’s get this over with.”

“YES!!!!”

And Yuri quickly regrets her decision when Yoona starts flapping her wings excitedly.

*

“You will never survive in the real world! You just jump over a freeway… that’s not realistic!”

“BOOHOO YURI YOU LOSE… Get over it! Oh… here’s the next place I wanted to go…”

Yuri looks surprise as she saw Yoona taking her into the bookstore. Maybe underneath the choding is a booklover, who’s just like her addicted to every kind of books.

Yuri followed Yoona to the bookstore, and Yuri was surprised that Yoona seems to be familiar with the bookstore. Maybe they do have something in common…

Now Yuri wonders what kinds of books Yoona reads…

They pass by the mystery section, romance section, kids section, young adults section.

But in the end, Yuri should have figured out what Yoona would have wanted to read…

“I should have known…”

Yuri just shook her head in disbelief as Yoona brought her to the manga section of the bookstore.

“Are you going to buy one?”

“NOPE! There are free ones on the internet…”

*

It was Yuri’s choice for the next shop they went into…

The two went into a gift shop and Yoona trailed Yuri to the back of the store, careful that she don’t move around too much and break anything. Yuri wonders if bringing a accident prone kid there is a good idea.

“Mmmmm… that smell makes me hungry…” Yoona pats her stomach as she took a whiff of a cinnamon bun.

“It’s this”

Yuri shoves a cinnabun looking candle in Yoona’s face, startling the other girl. Yuri ended up chuckling at the sight of Yoona rubbing her nose to get the smell out.

“You like candles?”

“I collect them.”

Yoona stares at the different candles with those pastry aromas designed like cinnabon, apple pies and much more.

But before Yoona can reply, Yuri’s phone starts ringing.

Yuri stares at the ringing contraption for a little bit, unsure of whether to pick it up. Because in all honesty, today was pretty fun with Yoona, but she knows her friends would hound her if she ignores their call.

“Hello? Were were you guys?! Yeah whatever… We’ll be there…”

Somehow the word we made Yoona blush.

“The girls are about to eat lunch… let’s go…”

“You’re not buying it?”

“No… I’m buying people’s Christmas gifts first… I’ll buy it later…”
*

“I have to go back to work.” Yoona pouts in disappointment as she drops Yuri off to the Chinese restaurant with her friends.

“Okay.” Yuri says blankly, though she has to admit that she did have fun with Yoona.

Yoona puts on her chicken head back before waving her wing at Yuri. But just when Yuri was about to walk in the cafe, she felt the chicken’s beak on her cheek.

She had no idea what the hell was happening until Yoona squealed underneath her chicken mascot.

“I kissed you.”

Technically, the chicken kissed her…. But it didn’t matter for Yoona… Meanwhile Yuri have wanted to smack the chicken for it.

“Go before I tie you up and send you to KFC to get fried.”

*

Yuri wasn’t a big fan of Chinese food, for her they’re the same things only named differently. but obviously all her friends were. But she does enjoy or more of mocking her fortune on those fortune cookies. It always amuse her how it seem to tell her something that doesn’t even relate to her life.

When the waitress lays their check along with their fortune cookies, Yuri quickly grab hers before Sooyoung could even lie and said that the waitress just gave them three.

She breaks her fortune cookie and for once didn’t find her fortune funny.

Sometimes the person you really need, is the one you never thought you wanted.

“So, what you got Yul?”

“Nothing…” Yuri quickly denies while stuffing her fortune in her pocket…

The girls exchange weird looks, they are so used to Yuri just balling up her fortune and leaving it on the table. But why would she stuff it in her pocket now?

*

Yuri never thought that Yoona could ever run out of energy but from the second floor she could see it. Yoona would just stand there and when people pass by, she would suddenly start dancing.

“Yul?!”

“Huh?” Yuri finally turns away from the chicken and at her friends.

“Were going to the karaoke, want to come along?”

“Ummm yeah sure…” Yuri answered while she looks back at the chicken.

It didn't take more than a few seconds for the chicken to look up, catching Yuri's gaze. Yuri smiles back at her, raising her hand to wave softly.

She chuckles softly as the chicken presses her wings to her chest and starts spinning around as if she was hit by cupid.

Yuri’s friends were about to ask her why was she smiling. But when they saw the reason for her smile, they decided to leave it alone.

Sometimes actions speaks louder than words… and Yuri is a perfect example of it.

Sometimes the person you really need, is the one you never thought you wanted.

*

“Unnieeeee…”

Yoona walks in to her sister’s coffeeshop and saw her unnie wiping the cash register with such determination.

“Why are you cleaning the register?”

“I just… well… I just feel like it…”

“You ready to go home? We got some left over fried chicken and my boss gave it to me…”

“Cool…I thought you got off earlier?”

“I did I just had to drop by something in my girlfriend’s house.”

Taeyeon let out a sigh as she and her sister walks out of the shop.

“Here…”

Yoona turns and her unnie was there, handing her a cup of hot choco.

“Thanks unnie.”

The two silently enjoyed their peace, until Taeyeon breaks the quiet.

“You know I have known Yuri since we were in high school. We were never close, but I know she’s a good person. But I do hear she breaks hearts.”

Yoona knew that her unnie is just being a good unnie giving her a warning about the worst pain known to man… the pain of a heartache…

Yoona just stared up in the starry sky, her lips breaking into a soft smile because she only know one thing for certain…

“Well, if she’s going to break someone’s heart… it might as well be my heart she’s breaking.”

*

“Hey unnie,” Seohyun greeted her sister who was walking in with a handful of shopping bags “Looks like you had fun.”

“Yeah… I did…” Yuri smiled back.

Seohyun notices that it’s been happening more frequently, her unnie smiling. And she wonders if her BFF has something to do with it?

*

Yuri walks inside her room, going out was fun but she was glad to be home. She then picked up the sweet smell lingering… It smelled like cinnamon and apple pies…

She wonders where it’s from until she saw the paper bag in her bed.

Yuri reads the tag.

Dear y bear,

To the best Christmas gift of all…

Love, your baby monkey…

And when Yuri looks inside the bag there it was the different candles she wished she could buy. A smile never left Yuri’s face as she starts taking out with such care the different candles inside.

Sometimes the person you really need, is the one you never thought you wanted.

Those words felt like puzzle pieces to Yuri, not making any sense until it’s starting to form a sentence.

But maybe that’s how fortunes are supposed to go, you are not supposed to know what the heck it meant until out of nowhere it happens to you.

And for Yuri those words weren’t puzzle pieces anymore, right now, it’s beginning to look like a pretty picture.
