25^th January, 2019

‘You didn’t have

to come, Hyeran ah.’

‘The fridge in 

your dorm was 

completely empty, 

as expected…’

‘I can’t let you

 guys starve.’

‘You didn’t have 

to do my laundry

either, Hyeran ah…’

‘I just can’t stand

 the mess, Oppa.’

‘By the way, 

Oppa, 

the rubbish bin

 in your room 

is there for a reason,

 please use it.’

‘And your chair

 is not the laundry

 basket, stop piling

 your clothes on 

the chair! 

That poor chair, 

you realize how

 many things you 

stacked on it?

 It’s a wonder it

 didn’t collapse 

from the weight.’

‘I just,

you know…

got used to it.’

‘Well please start

 getting into the

 habit of tidying 

things up, Oppa,

 if you want to 

get yourself a…’

‘Get myself 

a what?’

‘Anyway. 

I’ve hung up 

the laundry, 

it should be 

dry by now, 

I can’t stay and

 fold them up 

for you.’

‘I know, 

I saw the sticky 

note you wrote,

thanks.’

‘Ah, and the 

side dishes I 

put in the fridge, 

they’re fresh, 

you can keep

 them there for

 a month, throw 

them out after that.’

‘Okay.’

‘Oh, and also,

 I realized the 

lock on your 

bathroom door

 is a bit funky, 

better find someone

 to fix that.’

‘I made it 

that way.’

‘Pardon?’

‘We don’t lock 

the door when

we use the 

bathroom so it 

should be fine for us.’

‘Okay…

I’ll pretend I 

didn’t read that.’

‘What? 

What’s wrong 

with that?’

‘Oppa, you still 

have that habit

 of barging into

 the bathroom even

 when someone 

is using it?’

‘I don’t do that 

often now.’

‘But hey,

isn’t it normal? 

I mean, 

we’re all boys.’

‘If I were to live

 in a dorm with

 other girls, we 

would definitely 

lock the door – 

no matter how 

close we are.’

‘You call that 

close?’

‘Oh yeah? 

What about

you boys then?

 Run around the 

dorm  

all day long?’

‘I do.’

‘Men…

sometimes I really 

don’t understand 

you guys.’

‘Ha, 

same with us! 

Ask us to understand 

the mind of a woman 

is harder than taking

the university entrance

exam!’

‘It’s not that hard, 

it’s just common 

sense.’

‘That’s what 

you think.’

‘Why’d you think 

people break up?’

‘Oppa, 

did you just

 say the “b” word?’

‘I can’t believe it.’

‘I…’

‘Whatever.’

‘It’s your fault.’

‘You made 

me say it.’

‘Ya, besides, 

what’s wrong with 

breaking up anyway? 

People meet and

people leave, 

it’s normal.’

‘Oppa, 

you’re the one 

who’s sensitive

 all the time.’

‘I’ve been trying

 to avoid this 

subject.’

‘Especially

 today…’

‘It’s his choice.’

‘Oppa, 

how’s he?’

‘I don’t interfere

with members’ 

love life, I told 

you before.’

‘No, I mean…

Just as a brother

 who cares about

 him, shouldn’t you

 say something?’

‘Say what? 

Words can’t comfort 

him, Hyeran ah…

I know that.’

‘It takes time,

something I can’t 

give him.’

‘Don’t worry,

he’s not as upset 

as you think.’

‘I should’ve left

 him something

 nice to eat in his 

room today…

I only read the

 news after I left.’

‘You can 

come again!’

‘Since I’m back 

now, we can 

play together.’

‘More computer

 game?’

‘We can play 

something else 

if you want.

Monopoly,

how about that?’

‘Oh! 

Or Clash Royale! 

I’ve been into 

this game lately.’

‘No thank, 

I’m good.’

‘Wait…

when you’re here, 

did you see Chanyeol? 

He was here the

entire morning.’

‘Oh yes, 

we said hi, 

he was sleepy

 but couldn’t sleep.

 I didn’t ask him 

why, but I heated 

some milk for him.’

‘Did you guys 

talk for long?’

‘Not too long, 

we talked for a

 bit while I was

 hanging your 

laundry.’

‘What did you 

guys talk about?’

‘The usual.’

‘What’s usual?’

‘I can’t even 

remember now,

 something common

 like food or 

something.’

‘It’s mostly him

 talking, I was just

 listening, I guess he

 just needed 

someone to talk to.

 He's all alone

 in his entire floor, 

with Suho and Sehun

 Oppa not being here.’

‘What?’

‘Are you mad because

 I talked to him?’

‘No, 

I’m not!’

‘What’s with the 

exclamation mark?’

‘You are mad.’

‘I’M NOT!’

‘There you go, 

you’re mad.’

‘Of course I am! 

I didn’t get to 

see you even 

though you

dropped by! 

You know how 

much I miss you.’

‘I don’t want to 

make you any 

busier…’

‘You hardly have

 time to sleep 

these days.’

‘Next time you 

come over, 

text me first, 

I’ll make sure 

I’ll be in the 

dorm when 

you come.’

‘Now why would

 I do that?’

‘You see,

 the whole point 

of me dropping

 by was to help 

you sort out 

your stuff,

 make sure you 

don’t starve to 

death and help

 you take out 

the garbage, 

without interrupting

 your schedule. 

Like a good

 friend would.’

‘Are you my maid? 

Why’d you even

bother doing

that for me?’

‘I have my 

mother in Seoul,

 Oppa, 

you don’t.’

‘Thanks, 

Hera.’

‘Hera? 

Why’re you suddenly

 calling me that?’

‘You wrote Hera

instead of Hyeran

in the sticky note

you left in my room.’

‘Did I?’

‘Why? 

You like me calling

you Hera instead

of Hyeran?’

‘I don’t think

 that’s why I 

wrote it…

I think it was

 just out of habit. 

Not many people 

call me Hyeran now, 

even my parents

 are starting to 

call me Hera 

sometimes.’

‘Nice.’

‘What’s so nice 

about it?’

‘Doesn’t that 

mean I’ll be 

the only one 

calling you that

then?’

‘I suppose so…’

‘Oppa, 

I’ve also put

 some food in

 the fridge, 

you can just reheat 

them and eat 

it with rice. 

Please do make 

rice at home, 

Oppa, 

stop eating instant stuff, 

it’s not good for you.’

‘Ok, 

what do you

have for me?’

‘There’s chicken

 with potato, 

spicy fillet, 

stir-fried beef, 

and tofu stew.’

‘Wow,

you made all that?’

‘Mum and I.’

‘Sweet, 

I’ll enjoy them 

tonight.’

‘Share with other

 members,

 there’re plenty.’

‘Why would I

do that?’

‘You made it 

for me, 

didn’t you?’

'...'

‘I should get the

rice ready then, 

Kyungsoo will 

be back soon.’

‘Does that mean

 you’ll let him 

have some?’

‘If that’s what

you want.’

‘Good boy~’

 

‘Talk to you later, 

Hyeran, got to go.’
