After slamming the door on Byulyi, Yongsun went radio silent on the other girl for the rest of the day. On Monday, Byulyi parked herself in front of Yongsun’s dormitory with the intention of catching her girlfriend before her morning lecture. However, their entire fifteen-minute walk to the university campus was uneventful. Yongsun had refused the sandwich and flowers Byulyi prepared and continued giving her the cold shoulder. Although Byulyi was disappointed and confused, she swept it under rug and convinced herself that maybe Yongsun just needed some time alone.

However, Yongsun continued avoiding her like a plague for the entire week. She ignored every message and call from Byulyi, went to class earlier on days she knew Byulyi would try to catch her on, and snuck out of seminar rooms with the help of Chorong whenever she knew Byulyi was outside waiting.

Yes, Yongsun had her fair share of admirers before she got attached to Byulyi. In fact, her relationship with Byulyi shocked many since the younger girl was virtually unknown. Even then, some of her obnoxious and relentless admirers continued pursuing the charming orientation leader, pretty club president, and brainy class topper. After all, there was the saying ‘just because there’s a goalie, doesn’t mean you can’t score.’

“Give me some time, I’ll handle it.” Yongsun concluded. She did not want the issue to be blown out of proportion. Over the entire week, Yongsun had avoided thinking about her situation with Byulyi as all it brought up was a mess of emotions.

Firstly, she doubted herself. She doubted the persona she had painstakingly built for herself. She had sacrifice
