Another day, another failed test. It's 9pm in the evening when Nako was finally able to leave the university after a gruelling 
3 hour lab period with their Algebra results given just a hour before. Needless to say Nako was completely tired and sad beyond
comprehension. Who would blame the poor girl, she was by all means a responsible hard working student but she feels her effort isn't
bearing the results she wants or deserve. 

Slumped shoulder, eyebags lining the bottom of her eyes, and a heavy heart. Nako decides to go home with the intention to sleep
this nightmare and entire semester away. It really was difficult being a college student Nako thought, she had high hopes entering
the college of her dreams. She was bright, happy, and a responsible student even back then. It was a new chapter in her life where
she'll finally discover herself, learn the things she wants and finally graduate and get the job of her dreams... or so she thought.

The intial months of college were fairly standard and Nako was by all means doing well but when projects and test started pilling
and professors progressively became more sadistic and brutal. She was methaporically and literally experiencing hell along with her
peers. She did her best balancing every requirement thrown at her but she's only human. She had her limits, she couldn't catch up
and eventually it all came spiralling down when exams came. She wasn't expecting much, she hoped at the very least she could pass
the test but even that couldn't come into fruition. She was too distraught and tired to focus on anything that eventually led
to her demise while taking the exams.

Nako didn't notice until she felt her tears trickling down her face, she was crying. Pent up frustration, disappoinment, 
and her overall exhaustion has pilled up and Nako can't stop crying. She must look insane right now, standing on the
side of the road crying her heart out at 9:30 in the evening. She needed to get home fast. At the very least she can
breakdown alone and in peace.

Nako tries her best to stop her tears as she books it to her apartment complex that she shares with the other girls.
Nearing the apartment complex, Nako slows down catching her breath while tears still continue to fall from her face.
She was finally at her apartment complex, all she needed to do was go up the stairs and get to her room and cry her heart out
until she passes out. 

While going up the stairs Nako wondered, how she was able to get this far without quitting. The pain and suffering wasn't
worth it. She completely forgot what made her keep going, what pushed her to never stop even admist continuous suffering.
Lost in thought Nako didn't notice she was standing in front of her apartment for a couple of minutes already, knocking
herself out of her thoughts. Nako pulled out her apartment keys and opened the door and what awaited her on the otherside
reminded her of why she's still here standing... her pillar or more accurately her pillars.

Two girls snuggled together on the couch were watching a movie until they heard both heard their front door open. To 
which they initially panic thinking someone broke into their apartment but immediately calmed down when they saw
the person standing near just inside their apartment. They broke into a loving smile which quickly transformed into
a worried expression as they observe their angel looks completely broken and tired, prominent eyebags adorn their angel's
face in addition to the blood shot red eyes clearly indicating she just finished crying immensely. 

The two stood up as quick as possible as the girl with chestnut hair envelop Nako in a warm and much needed hug while
the black haired girl closed the door and took Nako's stuff and placed it on the kitchen top counter. Immediately 
going behind Nako her hair as soft and calming as she possibly could.

"Baby? What happened?" the chestnut hair girl spoke

"Minju dear, I think we should save the chatting for another time. She looks dead tired" the black haired girl suggest.

"You're right... I'm sorry Nako and thank you Hyewonie" The afformentioned girl named Minju said with an apologetic tone.

Nako stirs shaking her head side to side as she burries herself further into Minju's hug, she wasn't able to speak 
properly without crying even more so the most she could do was move her head to tell Minju it was okay. The last
thing she wants to do is make these two wonderful girls sad and guilty.

Hyewon's heart breaks seeing the poor state the girl is in and decides to hug Nako from the back, essentially 
sandwiching the smaller girl between, making sure not to suffocate her but close enough to make Nako feel their 
love and support.

Nako was blessed to have these two wonderful girls around her. She was dumb to not forget about them. In her moment
of weakness and exhaustion she forgot that she met two angels that became her sanctuary and support throughout everything.

She recalls she met these two separately. Initially it was just Minju and Nako, they became roommates since the beginning
of college and to no one's surprise they quickly became close. Close to the point they confessed to each other in the
messiest, cheesiest, but sincerist way they could. They both planned to confess to each other on the same day with 
different plans and different ways so when the day came that they were about to set each of ther plans in motion. 
They quickly realize that they both were planning to confess to each other. Eventually it led to them combining both
of their plans and sealing the deal under the starry sky with a kiss. A few weeks after they became official, they met
Hyewon an exchange student and they never realized that this girl would make a huge difference in both their lives.
Hyewon was weirdly affectionate, she could never voice her concern or appreciation but showed it through actions and
words. If she was sad she would hold Nako or Minju's hand and it until they realized that she was looking for
comfort. If she was happy she would hug them from the back and give them a quick chaste but sincere kiss on the cheek.
If she was shy or embarass she would simply bury herself on their shoulders. They quickly fell in love with the girl
to which they initially felt bad because they were in a commited relationship but both their hearts were undeniably in 
love with Hyewon. So Minju the sweet girl she was talked to Nako about possibly including Hyewon into their lives not
as friends but as a lover. Nako trusted Minju more than herself and she knew she could trust this girl and she knew 
in herself that she loved Hyewon too. They decided to break the news to Hyewon and in very Hyewon character cried tears
of joy and happiness and showered the two in a flurry of kisses and for once a flurry of sweet and loving words to show
her gratitude and love. They were stunned, Hyewon wasn't the talkative type but seeing her do her best to speak made their
hearts swell with love. It would be difficult but they knew they had each other to fall back on whatever happens. They
were ready to make it work and ready to fight for it.

Coming back to her senses after being shaken a bit by Minju, both of them were now staring into Nako's eyes.

Fearing that she'll break again Nako mustered the strength to tell them that she wanted to go to bed and rest.

Minju and Hyewon complied immediately, Minju prepared Nako a drink while Hyewon decided to prepare all three of their
comfiest pajamas. 

They were all gathered in a shared room that they often used if they wanted to sleep together (which is basically all
the time). They were dressed up in their pajamas and were ready to go to bed.

Nako was in the middle with Hyewon on her left and Minju on her right. She told them she was fine alone but the two 
girls were persistent and convinced Nako to let them sleep with her. Nako couldn't say no simply because the idea of 
sleeping with the ones she loved felt amazing and because they used Nako's biggest weakness against her. Puppy eyes. 

With a satisfied smile from all three of them. They snuggled together, letting sleep take over them. Nako waits a bit
till they're both asleep so she is able to do this.

"Hyewon Minju.. I love you two so so much. I'll be strong for you two so you two can rely on me also. I love you"
Nako says as she kisses the both of them in the head. Succumbing to sleep as well.

The night ends with all three girls satisfied with a smile plastered on their face as they sleep. Knowing that 
all of them are together. Nako and the other two might face harder challenges in the future and she's scared but for now
she's thankful enough that she's once again back in her sanctuary.
