I study the face of the person beside me, she was reading the book she had with her right after she had ushered me inside her room. We were both at the bed with her sitting against the headboard and with me lying down facing her whilst hugging my pillow.

 

I hadn't notice that I was staring at her for a long time now until I saw her turn to look at me

 

"Is there something wrong, Minjoo?" I shake my head as I cover my face with pillow, flustered at the fact that I was caught staring at her

 

With my face covered, I didn't see that she was smiling at me

 

After feeling calm, I peek from my pillow to see if the other girl was still looking at me and when I did, I saw her doe eyes stare at me, piercing me with that look of hers. I try to keep my stare at her nervously clenching my fists. 

 

She broke the stare by chuckling at me

 

"You should sleep, Minjoo. We will be free tomorrow morning but you need to get some rest" Sakura said with a smile on her face and I nod as a response

 

"Thank you for letting me sleep here" I said to her one last time before I close my eyes

 

"It's no problem. Goodnight, Minjoo" I hear her say

 

"Goodnight, Sakura"

 

 

It had been a few minutes after I said my goodnight but I couldn't even sleep. I twisted and the bed trying to get a comfortable position to sleep but I just couldn't. I groaned loudly and slumped my limbs harshly on the bed.

 

I heard a faint chuckle from beside me and I realized I wasn't in my room and I was not alone.

 

"S-sorry"

 

"Can't sleep?" I look at her and nodded my head.

 

After looking at me straight in the eyes, she got up from her bed and walked towards the minifridge to take out a carton of milk. She poured the contents of the carton inside the electric kettle provided by the hotel and heated it up.

 

I look at her shuffling around to find a mug and when she did, the electric kettle clicked signalling that the hot milk was ready. She then poured the milk on the mug that she had with her and walked towards me with the mug in hand.

 

"Here" She nudged the mug in front of me and I stare at her for a bit, confused

 

"They say milk will help you go to sleep" Sakura chuckled when I nodded my head in understanding.

 

I sat up from the bed and gave her thanks before taking the mug from her

 

"I'm sorry for being such a bother" I say darting my eyes from mug of milk that I was holding and to the girl who just gave me a sweet smile, walking over to her side of the bed

 

"You're not" Sakura said as she covered herself up with the blanket and picked up her book again to continue reading. Her remark made me feel glad and was assured that I wasn't a bother to her. So I sip my mug of milk with suppressed smiles 

 

As I finished my cup of milk, I stood up from the bed and made my way towards the bathroom to wash the mug. After washing the mug, I went to bed directly feeling all full from the mug of milk I had just drank

 

I shifted myself to face the older girl who was busy reading her book and hugged my pillow. I study her side profile intently wondering how could someone have such symmetrical features on her. And that jaw line, it's sharp enough to puncture through your heart.

 

"How come you're still single, Sakura?" I blurted out and once it left my mouth I started regretting it because the older girl turned to look at me and stared at me as if she was studying how I suddenly came up with the question.
