i call it loveWhen Yebin's hand comes reeling back from the hit, she realizes she might've made a huge mistake.
This feeling is quite amplified when Minkyung comes running down the back hallway, and sees Joshua crouching on the floor, holding his nose, and Yebin with a look of panic on her face.
"Josh? Joshua! Are you ok?"
"I-I'm sorry." stutters Yebin.
"Wait. Did you do this?" Minkyung looks at Yebin and the guilt starts to rise like a black ocean inside her stomach. There's no warmth in Minkyung's eyes, just fear.
"She's really.... really drunk she should go home." Joshua says, voice muffled behind his hands.
"You ing punched my date?"
"He..." Yebin can't seem to find any excuses, her head is woozy and nothing feels real at all.
"She should just get home, she's probably in a really bad place. She needs help." Joshua says.
Jesus. Can he not be so disgustingly nice for once?
Yebin's brain hurts, and she thinks she's crying.
"I'm sorry." she says again.
Minkyung, who's helping Joshua up into her arms, glares at her.
"Don't talk to me."
Yebin wakes up in her bed with a pounding headache. She's back in her dorm room, still wearing her denim jacket and her leather pants.
"Well, rise and shine." Eunwoo's voice says. Yebin looks up, eyes still blurry from their post-sleep haze, to see her on the couch, stirring coffee with a spoon. Headache still pounding, she inhales and winces at the morning light twisting through the window.
"Did I dream punching Joshua in the face? Please tell me I did."
Eunwoo looks at her sadly.
"I sure wish you did. Wouldn't that be a great feeling? Knowing you dreamt it all? But, um, no. You hit him good."
"Hey, don't be mean! You know she's in a rough place." Jieqiong yells from the kitchen.
"How... did we get home last night?"
"Well, Jieqiong was way too wasted to drive-"
"Super wasted!" Jieqiong shouts.
"And I can't drive, so Sungyeon drove us home."
"Sungyeon? How'd she get home?"
"I didn't!" says a small voice from inside the kitchen.
"She stayed with us." Eunwoo nods. "Jieqiong's taking her home in like fifteen minutes."
"What about..."
"Minky?"
Yebin sighs, and shakes off her jacket.
"Yeah."
"She took Joshua to the campus clinic. She was pretty pissed off."
"!" Yebin exclaims, rolling over so her face is in her pillow. "This is the biggest disaster of my life."
"I might have to agree with you on that one." Eunwoo says, taking a sip of her coffee.
Yebin reaches down and grabs her phone, opening it to see if there were any notifications. Nothing. She slides
open her texts but there's nothing new—the last thing Minkyung texted her was a message saying "omw! ^_____^".
She swallows, and quickly types something out.
yeb: hey
yeb: im so sorry about last night
yeb: can we talk??
yeb: call me
She stuffs the phone back into her pocket. "Eunwoo, can you get me some coffee? I really need some caffeine right about now."
"Anything for my next Olympic boxing champion."
"You're not funny, you kn
