Part twenty-two continuation :)

ii.

Juri paced back and forth in her room, contemplating on whether she should be his bride-to-be’s maid of honor. She didn’t know her. Heck, she wasn’t even sure if she was even going to attend the wedding. With a sigh, Juri sat on the very edge of her bed with her hands covering her face, unconsciously mimicking him from once upon a time.

“Geez Leeon, stop pacing around the room. You’re giving me a headache.” She had berated her best friend as he paced back and forth in her room, seemingly deep in thought. Juri snorted at that. Leeon and thinking in the same sentence? The very idea of it was ludicrous.

He stopped and sat on the edge of her bed with his hands covering his face. Juri heard him mutter a muffled apology. Wow, whatever was bothering sure was getting to him, she mused. She’d never seen him in such a state before.

“C’mon now, out with it. Who’s the girl?” She had asked jokingly in an attempt to ease the tension but the moment she saw the look on his face, she realized she had just hit home.

No way.

The expression on her must’ve been hilarious because Leeon started cracking up. Well, at least she succeeded in loosening him up. But still,

“Are you serious?”
