It wasn’t her plan to move out of her parent’s home this early but the sudden rush of freedom, of responsibility, of growing up, made her do it.  

Is she regretting it? Kinda. Mostly her bank account that’s been crying for the past month. And this time, Wonyoung needs to take up every extra shift she can take just to get by. 

And that’s the independence speaking up. Her parents offered to help her, of course. But the thought of burdening them more makes her think otherwise. 

She can do this. She has to do this.  

After all, she is the beginning and the end of this.

Yujin has been staring at the plain blank wall of her apartment for the last hour. She's been waiting for this certain roommate that Kang unnie told her about.  

“Who the moves in in the middle of the semester?” Yujin asked the wind, or herself. Very unclear on that. 

And damn, she's taking way too long to arrive. Not that Yujin’s waiting. She ing is. 

“You’ll like her! She's quiet, looks so bright and definitely neater than you.” Hyewon snickered, earning a loud scoff from the tall puppy.  

“And I heard she’s a film major too! Maybe you both can help each other, aye? You're kinda struggling Yujinnie. We all know that.” Hyewon added. 

And indeed, Yujin is not just ‘kinda struggling’, The girl is on the verge of failing. Why? According to her rants, she lost her touch. Really, it's just the lack of inspiration. She's been alone for too long. Too detached from the world. Always alone in her bubble, in her own world.  

Moving from the blank wall, she’s now staring at all the glow-in-the-dark fake stars pasted upon the ceiling, the ones left by the old occupants that she’s too lazy to remove, reasoning that it adds ‘character’ to the empty apartment.
