chapter nine.

Inna felt relieved, to find none of her hosuemates up or in the living room when she returned from her date. Despite the silence on the date topic the next few days, she was a tad disappointed no one asked her about it. Jinwoo and her heading to campus together as their classes aligned at least once a week. The two sat on the bus and no questions from the taller whom normally didn't know boundaries. 

Jinwoo was in his own mind thinking back to his conversation with Yanan, trying to figure out who the other could be in love with. And how he will hurt whoever made him feel like that. Going through the list of known friends of his or people the Chinese male talked about. Crossing off Hyojung, and Changgu, Yanan never got a spark or lovesick look when talking about either of them. Shinwon and Jangmi were different, Jinwoo could never tell between the adoration for Jangmi and the platonic love to Shinwon. Which made Jinwoo add them to the top of his list.

"-woo? Jinwoo?" Inna waved her hand infront of his face, as she stood before him, he shook his head and smiled at the smaller. "Your stop is coming up." She pointed out, Jinwoo nodded scrambling between the students and workers on the bus to get near the door.

As the door opened and people began exiting, Jinwoo called out. "See ya later, noona." He said with a wave and a smile that seemed to be a tad fake in Inna's mind. 

"What's going on with you?" She muttered, pulling out her phone as the bus pulled away. Smiling at it, as a message from Daniel greeted her.

Inna bit her lip to repress her smile, as the bus came to a stop on the science side of campus, exiting the bus she typed out a reply.

Inna pocketed her phone was wind cut through her pants, she began walking to campus, pausing as she spotted Daniel waiting on one of the benches holding two coffee cups and smiling at them. Inna smiled before walking towards him, he noticed her from the corner of his eye and smiled as she gestured him to hand her one of the cups. Handing one to her, the two fell in step heading to their class. 

"Something's off about them." Another med student whispered, to Jisoo whom only gripped his pen tighter, as Inna and Daniel laughed together ahead of them. 

Jangmi stretched as she entered the gym, Hayoung having tagged along saying she didn't want to be at the house by herself. The judo athlete letting the other tag along. Jangmi put her hair up in a ponytail, as Hayoung stretched beside her. The two in workout pants and tank tops, Jangmi glared at one of the guys looking at Hayoung in the mirror. Hayoung in light blues pants and a white tank top with an open back her matching light blue sports bra showing, her hair in a low ponytail. Jangmi in black head-to-toe, only thing with a bit of color beside her hair was the pink line on her sports bra, peeking through the large arm holes.
