5 years ago, Stanford, California 

 

"Sunmi-ah, wake up!" 

 

The curtains were pulled open, letting the sunlight went through the entire room. Sunmi quickly pulled her comforter up to cover her face from sunlight. Her body froze, did not move even an inch after puling the comforter. 

 

"Lee Sunmi!!" Yongsun called. Sunmi deafened her ears. 

 

"Sunmi, dont you want to go to class? You are already late! Wake up, Lee sunmi!" Yong nagged, didnt want her housemate to skip her class again. 

 

"You are so loud, Kim Yongsun! I want to sleep more." Sunmi muttered. 

 

"Sunmi-ah!" Yongsun shouted, dissatisfied with her respond. She pulled Sunmi's comforter away make her friend's forehead furrow in resentment. Yongsun sat on her bed looking at Sunmi who yawned with her eyes closed. 

 

Different with her housemate, Yongsun already dressed in her casual outfit. After make their breakfast, she had showered and got ready to go to their university's library. 

 

"Dont you lie to me, Yongsun. Now is exam weeks, we have no class." She said before quickly pulled her comforter back. 

 

Yongsun jumped on her bed before tickled her waist knowing that spot was her sensitive part. Sunmi quickly get up while laughing. 

 

"Yongsun! No!! What the hell Kim Yongsun!!" She sreamed while laughing all her heart. 

 

"You need to get up. Lets go to library. Our last paper in two more days. Then we can graduate! Go back to Korea, meet our family and friends." 

 

Yongsun's words were like wind that blew to her right ear and then went out from her left ear. Sunmi didnt care whether she passed or not. She went to Stanford University because her parents' will, not her own. Her parents wanted her to get the bachelor abroad just like her other sister and cousin. 

 

Since 3 years ago, when they both began to live together in Townhouse 82, they had been a lot of happy and sad story that they went through together. Yongsun became her loyal listener to every problems and acted like her guardian-angel when she got sick and that same goes to Yongsun.  Sometime she felt her parents never care about herself like Yongsun did. 

 

"Are you that happy, Yong? I am not as happy as you, okay? So let me sleep. I dont even know wether I can pass our Option and Future paper last week. Maybe I fail and need to extend one more semester." Sunmi sighed. 

 

She looked at Yongsun. Yongsun always looked happy as her other days. The happiness that often arose jealousy in her heart, even their relationship was very closed. She felt like Yongsun have everything she dreamed of even though from other point of view, she was the one who had more than Yongsun. 

 

"That why I woke you up. Lets go to the library. Come on, I already prepared our breakfast." Yongsun said with full of spirit. She pulled Sunmi's arm, forcefully her to getup but her housemate did not move at all. 

 

"Yongsun, I am jealous of you, you know?" 

 

The words revealed from Sunmi's lips left Yongsun stunned. The grip on her hand became loose and Sunmi released her arm easily from Yongsun. 

 

"You're smart, kind, cute and beautiful. Everyone likes you. Your parents have high hopes for you. Not like me, my parents don't even care. They just know to spend money on me either i graduated or not, no one cares," Sunmi sighed.

 

Her tears flooded at her eyes, waiting for the moment to fall down from her smooth cheeks.

 

Sunmi's complaint makes Yongsun feel guilty. Could it be that she was mistaken for always telling about her parents in her beloved hometown to her best friend? She sat next to Sunmi. Her arms were deliberately placed over her friend's shoulders who was still wearing her pink pajama. 

 

"What are you saying, Sumi? Don't think like that. I believe your family cares about you even if they don't show it. There are no parents who don't love their children. Otherwise, they won't work hard to support you here.

 

You're smart too. If not, this university won't take you in. And honestly, Sunmi, you're so much prettier than me. Many men like you. You can get whoever you want." Yongsun persuaded in a soft tone of voice, trying to dispel her bad thinking. 

 

Yongsun gripped her roommate hand tightly. Sunmi placed her head against her friend's shoulder, letting the tears from wet Yongsun's light blue shirt. Yongsun just let go of her friend action and patted her back gently.

 

"Not all men I can get, Yong. Not everyone wants me like you said. There is one guy that I cant get, no matter how hard I tried. Because his heart is always yours, Yong," said Sunmi after she stoped crying. 

 

Of the hundreds of Korean students in the peaceful city of Adelaide, only one man stole Sunmi's attention. Just a heart that she wanted to be owned but it was far from her reach.

 

Many plans were used to get the heart of her dream man but everything was in vain when the man's attention is captured by Yongsun. Eric's love was spilled on the girl who never tried to get his love. Eric loves Yongsun, a friend who she considered as her sister. Therefore, Sunmi tried her best to forget and let go of Eric. Even her heart broke. 

 

"You like Eric, Sunmi?" Yongsun asked, stranged to see the Sunmi's facial expression. 

 

Never before Sunmi had shown such a face or perhaps Yongsun herself was too blind
