After a tired car ride Mark dropped all of the boys and Yejin off at their houses, still having to take Jackson back to school so he could drive his car home. Wang kept quiet but insisted that he could drive one handed at least far enough to get his own vehicle home and no one argued. The girl pulled her phone from her bag as she walked towards her front door. It was past one in the morning. Yejin stood on the porch and looked in the windows, not seeing any lights on inside. She took a deep breath as she opened the screen door and worked on unlocking the entryway. Yejin walked in the silent house with heavy eyelids and made her way to her bedroom before flopping face first on the bed, not caring to close her door or even take off her bag.

Yejin was beginning to wake up and thoughts started rushing through her mind. She patted down her jacket pockets and bed sheets until she found her phone on the floor peeking out from under the bed.
