[And when put on the spot like that, Juri had to come up with something. With as huge of an ego as Seo had, she was actually a bit surprised she asked. And looked surprised, from the looks of it as Juri cracked an eye open to look at her.

She lifted a hand to curl a bit of brown hair about it and tried to vocalize something.]

Because I do. My feelings have always been a giant mess to figure out, which is why I come across so controlled... because I make myself be that way. But you... you've got this... freedom about you, where you just go with whatever you're feeling at the moment, how it looks to others be damned.

...it's infuriating. And so god damn attractive. You drive me nuts. You somehow find ways to drag me out of my comfort zone, put me in situations where I have to give up all that control I insist on so much... and it ends up being okay. You make sense.

[That's something no one's probably ever said to her before, but it wasn't meant in a logical way, because Seo doesn't remotely make any logical sense. But emotionally? She made a lot of sense. And there was a simplicity about Seo that Juri kind of needed.]

You live in the moment, which is something I don't know how to do. So yeah, Yuzuki... I like you. [A pause.] Like-like you. Just to be clear.

[Because they were frickin' teenagers and sometimes you have to specify that you like-like someone.]
