“___, you’re going to be late for your class.” Your mom shook you and uncovered you. You curled up and then stretched your arms.

“My alarm is set at seven.” You said, sleepy.

“It’s almost eight.” She said as she went back upstairs. Your eyes shot open and you jumped out of bed.

“I’m so late.” You rushed to get dressed and pick up your things. You then ran upstairs and past them. “Love you.” You yelled as you left.

“We love you too.” Hyorin told no one with a smile.

Taeyeon was already sitting in class. She kept on looking at the door every time it opened, hoping to see you there. She tried calling you multiple times but you didn’t answer.

“I’ll be right there.”

Five minutes later, your mom got there with Hyorin. You were leaning on your car.

“What happened?” She asked, worried. Hyorin checked the car, the front was completely ruined.

“A van cut me off and I had to move out of the way so it wouldn’t hit me… I hit the street lamp.” You rubbed your neck and stretched it. “I was wearing my seat belt, don’t worry.” Your mom checked your neck and noticed the seat belt mark on your shoulder.
