« No, it"s not like that ! » Brian said, realising he had hurt her feelings.
« Then what is it ? » Yutta turned around to face Brian.
« It"s just that I have a girlfriend. And I don"t think she"d appreciate it if I"d dance with such a pretty girl like you. » Brian explained, « Well, atleast not like this. »
« Oh…. » Yutta blushed for the compliment he gave her but she was hurt because he has a girlfriend and she turned around to run into the bathroom.
« Hey, what"s wrong with Yutta ? » Nick asked Whitney when he saw her run away from Brian.
« I don" t know. Lemme check on her. » Whitney replied and she let go of Nick. Whitney walked to where Al and AJ were dancing and she pulled Al away from him, « C"mon Al. We got work to do. »
« Hey ! Let go ! » Al said and she went back to AJ, to dance.
« No, Al ! I won"t let go. Yutta needs us right now ! »
« What"s wrong with Yutta ? » Al asked, getting concerned.
« I don"t know. That"s what I"m trying to figure out. And you have to help me ! »
« Oh ok… » Al said. And she let go of AJ, « I"m sorry, I"ll be right back. »
« Hey, take all the time you need. » AJ told her and gave her a peck on her cheeck before she left to the bathroom together with Whitney.
« Yutta, are you in there ? » Whitney asked. She knocked on the door, but there was no answer.
« Let"s see… If you saw her run into the bathroom. Would she be there ? » Al said, joking.
« Al, this is no time to joke. »
« I know… I"m sorry. » Al said, « What could possibly be wrong with her ? »
« I know what"s wrong. Atleast, I think I know what"s wrong with her. » a voice behind them said. Whitney and Al turned around and saw Brian.
« What are you trying to tell us ? We"ve been Yutta"s best friends for over ten years. You don"t even know her ten days and you know what"s wrong with her, when we don"t ? » Al said.
« C"mon Al, maybe he really does know. » Whitney told her.
« I kinda turned her down… » Brian said. He wasn’t proud of it though.
« What ? You turned her down ? How can you be like this ? I mean, there"s a beautiful girl, throwing herself at you, and you turn her down ? » Al said.
« She didn"t throw herself at me. She asked me to dance and I said no. » Brian said, trying to explain what happened.
« Why ? Don"t you like her ? » Whitney asked him.
« Oh no ! That"s not it ! I do like her. It"s just… »
« It"s just what ? She"s too young for you ? I"m sorry, Mister, but she"s only… only…. » Al said. She wasn’t good at math, « She only… 6 years younger than you ! »
« Al, it"s 7. » Whitney corrected her.
« Oh… » She said, « So what ? »
« No, it"s not that ! I have a girlfriend ! » Brian said. He was amused by listening to Al.
« Oh ? » Whitney and Al chorused.
« Yeah. »
Suddenly the heard the bathroom door open, « I"m sorry I acted like this. » Yutta said, coming out of the bathroom.
« Hey, it"s ok. » Al said. And her and Whitney hugged her.
« I"m sorry too… » Brian said. He was getting uncomfortable.
« No, I"m sorry. I shouldn"t have overreacted. »
« So ehh…. Do you want a drink ? » Brian asked her. He wanted to start over with her.
« Sure… » Yutta replied and they both left.
« Well, now you can go back to AJ. » Whitney said to Al.
« Yes, finally ! ! Heheheh ! »
« You like him huh ? »
« Yeah, how did you know ? »
« Come on ! It"s pretty obvious ! Everybody knows ! » Whitney explained, « Except for AJ himself. He a blind ox ! » Whitney joked.
« Hey ! Watch it ! My blind ox is better than your blond pig ! » With that she ran to AJ. Whitney just laughed. But then she went back to Nick.
