“Choi Yuna, that’s my bed,” ShinB says from below the bunk bed, looking up.

“That’s rude of you, Hwang Eunbi,” Yuju plainly answers. ShinB folds her arms in annoyance and walks away.

“ShinB-yah,” Yuju suddenly calls out as she lies on the bed. Her eyes are open and alive due to the running thoughts in her mind, despite her weariness.

“Yuju unnie, don’t you want to sleep?” ShinB asks, confused.

“I can’t,” Yuju uncontrollably rolls her eyes upon having to state the obvious.

ShinB leaves the table and climbs up to join Yuju on the bed. Their eyes are plastered against the ceiling as they enjoy a peaceful moment of silence.

“ShinB-yah,” Yuju calls for a second time.

“Hmm?” ShinB’s eyes leave the ceiling as she turns to look at the elder.

Yuju says nothing but sighs.

ShinB wants to smack Yuju for being weird and silent, but doesn’t anyway when she realises that there’s something wrong.

“There’s something wrong right?” ShinB asks to confirm.

Yuju blinks, still facing the ceiling. “Yes,” she answers after another sigh.

“What’s wrong?” ShinB continues to ask, heavily concerned.

Yuju does not speak but sighs for a third time.

“You don’t know what’s wrong, do you?” ShinB reads her mind. Yuju gives a small nod as a reply, and finally turns to face ShinB.
