Chapter 9

The next day Solar got up around nine in the morning. She stretched and put on a beautiful dress. After checking herself in the mirror, making sure she was cute and doll up, she went to find Moonbyul. She glanced inside Moonbyul's room and saw that Moonbyul was still sleeping. The way Moonbyul slept was adorable in Solar's eyes. She giggled to herself as she stared. She knocked gently and let herself in. She sat down on the chair next to Moonbyul's bed, smiling mischievously as she gently poked Moonbyul's body.

"Ten more minutes," Moonbyul mumbled after Solar poked her a few times.

Solar continued her mischievousness, causing Moonbyul to grumbled. Moonbyul finally opened her eyes and looked in the direction of the incessant poking that woke her. Solar's face was only a couple inches away. When their eyes met Solar blew her a kiss and winked, Moonbyul was caught off-guard and fell off her bed. Solar ran over to check on her.

"Ow—" Moonbyul rubbed her side.

"Are you okay?" Solar questioned, grabbing onto Moonbyul's arm and scanning her.

Moonbyul backed away but she didn't get far, the wall was behind her. "W-what are you doing here?"

Solar crawled closer while smiling flirtatiously. Moonbyul tried to back away but she was already pressed against the wall. Solar slid both of her hands up Moonbyul's body and pressed them on the wall just above Moonbyul's shoulders. She slowly moved her body closer and whispered.

"What do you think?" She lifted Moonbyul's chin and bit her lips sexily.

"C-crazy woman," Moonbyul got up quickly and rushed into the bathroom.

Solar giggled devilishly as she watched Moonbyul frantically dashed away. She gently rubbed her lips with her thumb as she slowly headed for the bathroom. She leaned against the wall next to the door and waited. 'It's been half an hour.' She looked at the clock and the wall and sighed. 'What's she doing in there?'

"You done yet?" Solar asked nonchalantly.

"You left yet!?" Moonbyul said grumpily.

Solar shrugged and said cutely, "I'll wait until you're done~."

"I'm not coming out until you leave!" Moonbyul exclaimed.

"I'm not leaving~" Solar happily replied.

Moonbyul anxiously walked back and forth in the bathroom, which was only big enough for her to take a few steps. 'How can I get rid of her?' She scratched her head and tapped her foot. 'She's so weird!' She placed her hand on her hips and sighed. 'Although, she's really cute.' Moonbyul smiled to herself. 'No! What am I thinking!? She's definitely weird.' She tried to think of a plan but none popped into her head. 'Ugh, why I can't think of anything!?' She groaned and decided to sit on the toilet seat until Solar leave.

It was around eleven a.m. when Moonbyul called out to check if Solar was still around. "Anyone there? Hello? Hello? Are you still there?" Moonbyul sighed in relief. "Good, I think she's gone."

Moonbyul carefully opened the door to take a peek, checking to make sure Solar'd really left. At that moment, Solar slammed her hand on the door. It made a loud bang, which startled Moonbyul. Solar pushed the door open and walked in sexily, winking along the way.

Moonbyul could only took a few steps back before she was pressed against the sink. Solar closed the door behind her and approached Moonbyul. She licked the top of her lips and smiled naughtily. Moonbyul's attempt at backing away only resulted in the top half of her body bending over the sink while her elbows rested on its counter.

Solar was looming atop Moonbyul, her body rubbing against Moonbyul's chest. She tried to look into Moonbyul's eyes, but Moonbyul looked away. She ran her hand up Moonbyul's body and smiled at Moonbyul's nervousness. 'How cute.'

"S-stay back," Moonbyul warned as she swallowed her fear.

"What are you afraid of, hmm?" Solar whispered flirtatiously, running her finger down Moonbyul's jaw.

"I-I'm not afraid," Moonbyul exclaimed.

Solar wrapped her arms around Moonbyul's neck and blew in her ear. "Then, why can't you look at me, hm?"

Moonbyul quickly straighten herself, Solar was still dangling from her neck. She ducked under Solar's arms to escape and back away toward the door. It took her a few moments to find the knob without looking. Once she did, she left as quickly as she could. Solar smiled cheerily and followed her. They walked around Moonbyul's room. Moonbyul had hoped she could tire Solar out, but it felt impossible. After a while, she turned around to face Solar.

"Leave!" She demanded, almost pouting.

"What if I don't?" Solar said sweetly and winked as she approached.

"T-then," Moonbyul stumbled, "then—"

"Then what?" Solar raised an eyebrow as she smiled.

"I'll leave!"

Moonbyul dodged Solar advances and left the room. She walked down the hall and glanced back a few times. 'Why is she still following me?' Moonbyul quicken her pace but that didn't seemed to get rid of Solar. She confronted Solar once more.

"Stop following me!"

"I'm walking behind you doesn't mean I'm following you," Solar giggled and winked.

Moonbyul was baffled. "You are following me!" she protested.

Solar walked toward Moonbyul, each step she took forward Moonbyul would take one step back. "Hmm, delicious, if that's what you want." Solar growled naughtily. "I'll follow you wherever you wish."

Moonbyul turned around and grumbled as she continued on her way. Solar giggled happily and followed closely behind her. Moonbyul saw the courtyard in front of her and thought of an idea. 'I'm sure it'll tire her out if I do that. That way I can finally escape.' When they got to the courtyard, Moonbyul took off without warning, but Solar didn't plan on giving up so easily. She dashed after Moonbyul immediately. They ran in circle, looking like two children playing tag. It took them about an hour before they ran out of steam. Moonbyul collapsed onto the grass, gasping for air. Solar sat on top of her to keep her in place.

"Hehe, I win!" Solar declared, although she was breathless too.

"Y-you're impossible—" Moonbyul was still trying to catch her breath.

"Are you going to keep on running?"

"Are you going to keep on chasing me?"

"If you run, then I will," she declared without a second thought.

"You win," she sighed. "I won't run anymore."

"Then as the winner, shouldn't I get a prize?" Solar leaned down and whispered into Moonbyul's ear.

"What!? I didn't agreed to anything," Moonbyul protested.

"Do you want to continue our chase then?"

Moonbyul raised her right hand and shook it to give her response.

"It's decided!" Solar tapped her chest and declared, "from now on I'll call you Byul-Kong! And you'll call me Master Yong-Kong!"

Moonbyul sighed but didn't try to protest.

"You better remember it!" Solar warned.

She got off of Moonbyul and laid on the grass next to her. Solar stared at the blue sky while Moonbyul looked at the grass.

"The sky is pretty today, you're not going to look at it?" Solar tapped Moonbyul.

"No," Moonbyul refused to turned around, pouting as she pulled on the grass.

"The wind feels nice. It's a nice breeze, yeah?" Solar nudged Moonbyul.

"I guess—"

"I like it like this," Solar whispered to herself, staring at the back of Moonbyul's head.

She wanted to caress it, but restrained herself. 'I wish I could touch you like I used to.' She smiled sullenly. 'At least now I can be next to you. Even it it's little by little, let's become closer, okay?' They lay there for a while. Once Moonbyul got some strength back, she tried to ditch Solar once more. Solar immediately followed her.

"Byul-Kong! Byul-Kong! Wait for me!" Solar called but Moonbyul ignored her. Solar ran in front of Moonbyul, walking backward as she talked. "Hey, you were suppose to answer when I call you. You're not keeping your words!"

"I didn't agree to it!"

"But you didn't protest either," Solar said joyfully.

"I—"

"It's too late to protest now."

"You're impossible," Moonbyul shook her head.

Solar grinned as they continued their walk. It wasn't long before something happened. Solar didn't watch where she was going and tripped. Moonbyul quickly reacted and caught her before she fell. She pulled Solar up, her right arm was wrapped around Solar's waist. They were so closed their noses touched. Their hearts beat uncontrollably as they looked into each other eyes.

"See, you still care about me," Solar said sweetly as she met Moonbyul's gentle gaze.
