Recap from the night Yuki and Yoko left FB club..

Yoko is in the passenger seat. While Yuki is driving her to god knows where. She doesn't fully trust Yuki yet but she did not ask where they are going, she just wants to get out of that place.

"Can you open the window, please?" She asked.

Yuki glanced at her and roll over the window at Yoko's side. She smile and eyes are back to the road.

"I can offer you two option for tonight." She said while her eyes still on the road. "First option, I can listen to whatever you have inside without judgement or question. The second option is we can pretend like nothing and have fun tonight."

Yuki can feel that the girl she is with needs company tonight. She maybe a party girl and definitely knows how to fun but in this case, she can also be a friend to a stranger or an acquittance.

"Can we go to beach side?" Yoko asked instead.

Yuki nods.

"Sure."

"..so let me summarize it a bit, your brother and P'Faye dated but you were in love with her." Yuki narrate as they are seated on the sand watching the waves from the beach.

Yuki has gentle soul that Yoko feels safe sharing her concern.

"Yes, pretty much it." She replied and look at Yuki. "I know I choose option 1 but you can judge me now. Tell me, am I stupid or what?" She said as she sniff and laugh at herself.

"Nothing much to judge really." She said, still looking at the waves. "Romantic relationship between your brother and P'Faye run its course and it's now over regardless if Nine is still here or not. P'Faye is free and you are too. Now, it's up to you two if you want to open new chapter between you two."

"Isn't complicated?"

"From outsider point of view, I don't see it as complicated. But maybe it's because I've seen more complicated shit in my life." Yuki chuckled and now look at Yoko with a gentle smile. "Life is complicated as it is. We choose our own. We choose our battle."

Yoko nods and look at the sky.

They enjoy the sound of the waves, the night sound and the silent company of each other.

"But by the way, why are you with P'Lux earlier?" Yuki asked after few moments of silence.

"I think she is looking out to for me as P'Faye keeps on leaving my side." She said, now that she thinks about it, she can tell how solid Faye friend group is. "Have you been watching me all night?" She playfully asked.

Yuki smiled.

"Yes, I've been wanting to reach out but too scared to come because of P'Lux." She admitted.

"Why? Do you like me?"

"Yes." She openly said without even second thought. "Honestly, you are my type but knowing now that your heart belongs to someone... you suddenly become unattractive to me." She said with slight laughter.

Yoko laughed too.

"But if ever you moved on, I'll take you in. But now, no. You should pursue what your heart wants until it gives up so I can fix it for you." Yuki said seriously.

Yoko looked at Yuki.

Damn! This girl is something.

"Is it wrong that I want you to meet my best friend? I think she needs someone like you."

"Don't try to set me up yet. P'Becky already set me to other girls but know that I will still be standing on your queue until you close it for P'Faye. " Yuki said defensively.

"There is no queue. No line. Just her." She said with a sad smile.

"Damn! I wish I met you sooner." Yuki complained.

"Do you think if we met sooner and we hit it off like this, there will be no complication? I imagine that it would be simple."

"I wish I know but my life is not simple."

"Oh? Tell me about it..."

Yuki shook her head.

"Let's not talk about it yet." She said, now with sad lingering eyes.

They spend the night talking more, and when its time — Yuki drive Yoko back to hotel. Then, on her way to her apartment, she happens to pass by the bar. She saw Faye getting dragged by her friends. By the looks of it, she is drunk.

Yuki smile.

"You should do something or I will steal your girl." She said as drive past the scene.

The next day...

Yuki is cleaning her car when she saw a small pouch in the passenger seat. She thought of it for a few seconds and smile.

This is Yoko's pouch.

She reach for her phone and thought of texting her but an idea pop out to her. She smile widely and went to driver seats.

She drive to the Hotel to personally deliver the lost pouch to its owner.

Yuki is in the lobby when she call Yoko's number. It rang 5 times before the call connected.

"Hello.."

"Hello?" She said confused as It's not Yoko that answered the phone.

"What do you want?"

"Hmm.. Is this Yoko's number?" She confirmed.

"Yes."

"Phi May I know where she is? I just need to talk to her." She said politely, thinking that it was a Phi or Yoko's senior that she is talking to.

"She is working. What do you need?"

"Ah, I see. I will call again later." She said and about to end the call but then the other line spoke.

"Do not call her again."

Yuki's manner was thrown out of the window when she heard the last sentence. She got heated up in anger.

"I don't know you but I'm pretty much sure you do not have the right to tell me that." She said firmly.

"I don't care. Just do not her call again."

Yuki stopped as she slowly recognize the voice in the other line.

"Is this P'Faye?" She asked to confirm.

The line went silent but the call is still connected so she knows that she is right to assume that it was Faye.

Devilish smile creeps into Yuki's lips.

"Ahh... this is P'Faye, right? I understand that you are mad as we did not asked for your permission last night. Please do not scold Yoko as I'm the one who is at fault." She said trying to hold her laughter, she is playing with Faye. "Next time, I will ask for your permission as Yoko said that you are practically her older sister or a guardian that is why you are protective like this, right?"

"Back off." The voice sounds so serious.

"Why? What do you mean?" She asked pretending that she is clueless.

She did not hear anymore response. She just heard the call disconnected.

She giggled.

"Maybe that will push you to do something... just so something." She whisper and approached the ladies from help desk and there she left the pouch of Yoko with notes.

You left your pouch in my car.

Thank you for last night. If P'Faye is still angry by this time — I'm happy to report that it's my fault. LoL

***

Faye is the hotel room of Yoko. She is pissed to received that call while Yoko is working, she is left here in the room with Yoko's phone still plugged to charger.

She close her eyes to contain her anger.

"I will kill that kid." She said out of anger. Without knowing the whole context, Faye assume that Yuki is playing with Yoko's heart. The image of Yuki as a play girl is painted to her system since the lantern festival.

When Yoko is done working, she happily run back to her room. She slowly open the room and saw Faye sleeping in the bed with dim lights on. She smile to see this view. Faith looks calm sleeping like this.

She slowly went to shower to freshen up. She doesn't want her to wake up. Then, after she shower, she slowly went to her side and hug her from the back.

Faye move and turn to her. She is still half asleep but cling to hug her back.

"Let us rest for now. Then, we can meet tomorrow for something fun. Tomorrow is my day off." Yoko said.

They are not official yet... so Yoko is thinking of ways they can have alone time to bond and to let the love grow specially to Faye's side.

"I can't. I have work tomorrow." Faye said trying to recall if there is free time for her this week.

"Aww.. I see." Yoko translated Faye's response as she doesn't want to meet tomorrow.

"I have no free time this week. But since it's your day off, do you want to visit the set tomorrow?" She asked and open her eyes to see Yoko's face.

"Can I do that?" She asked.

"Of course." Faye said. "If that is fine with you. But it would be very boring. I'll be working all the time." She added.

"It's okay. I want to see you working." She said, excited to see actress Faye tomorrow.

"Okay, let's rest for now." Faye said and hug her again.

This is so warm. I like this.

Yoko close her eyes when she feels Faye's lips into her. It was a quick kiss that made her eyes wide open again.

"What was that?" She asked.

"A goodnight kiss." Faye said with shy smile.

"I see." Yoko said and quickly kiss her too. "Good night." The naughty kid said after the kiss.

Faye smile and they move again to comfortably cuddle with each other.

Yoko's heart is pounding so hard right now.
