Wildflower.âI think she fell asleep,â Dahyun softly mumbles, glancing at Sana before motioning to the door, âAre you tired yet?âÂ
âYeah, actually, Iâm a bit drowsy,â Sana giggles, then grabs Dahyunâs hand and leads them out the door down the hall to the waiting room. The hallway is dark and eerie, but for some reason, it wasnât quite as dark with each other. They noticed but didnât say anything about it and opted to enjoy the calm quiet of the empty hall. Â
When they eventually get to the waiting room, they sit next to each other, and Sana instantly rests her head on Dahyunâs shoulder; it could almost be a habit now, but she wouldnât think that, not now.Â
After a while of comfortable, calm silence, Sana spoke. âDahyun-ah, tell me about yourself, please,â her voice came out in barely a whisper, but Dahyun heard.Â
âWell, Iâm in college right now, and I live with three roommates in my dorm. Donât tell them I said this, but theyâre...â Dahyun whispered this last part, âso messy... itâs hard to find the floor sometimes.âÂ
Sana giggled, and said, âThat sounds rough, Dahyun-ah, I wish you the best with that, hehe. Whatâs your major?âÂ
âThank you, unnie, your words give me hope,â she said dramatically, putting a hand on her chest, squinting at Sana. âI major in writing, actually. And minor in music history. What about you, unnie?âÂ
âIâm in college, too. Iâm in my senior year, though, so Iâm almost done, but to be honest, Iâm a bit behind, because of... obvious reasons...â she trailed off, looking at the glass windows instead of the striking eyes next to her, listening intently.Â
âYour grandma... I donât mean to pry, and itâs okay if you donât want to say, but what happened?â Dahyun asked hesitantly, eyeing the seemingly bright girl cautiously. She wasnât as bright in this moment, though, thinking about her grandmother. Sanaâs eyes darkened and she frowned oh so slightly, but Dahyun noticed it. She immediately felt guilty, and said, âItâs okay, really, if you donât want to talk about it. I respect that.âÂ
âItâs okay Dahyun-ah. Maybe tomorrow? I... I-I just donât want to think about it now, you know? I want to enjoy talking to you, and know you before you know me, just yet. You know, keep my âmysterious aura,â she lightly giggled, eyes darting to the raven haired girl next to her, who had a small smile at what Sana said, before sighing and leaning her head back on her shoulder, almost glaring outside at the world. Dahyun also sighed lightly, but leaned her head on Sanaâs, switching her gaze to the marble floor below them.Â
âItâs okay, but you can tell me when youâre ready. Iâll be waiting,â Dahyun said sincerely, before closing her eyes. Sana looked at her for a few seconds and did the same, closing her eyes and letting herself drown in the youngerâs scent. "I want to know more about you, Sana-unnie. You're interesting," Dahyun trailed off, feeling more and more sleepy by the second.Â
"And you will, Dahyun-ah. Just wait for me."

âSo youâll be discharged tomorrow, right Chae?â Mina asks, staring at the cub intently, hoping for the answer she wanted. Â
The nervous cub gulped, and said, âY-yeah, thatâs what they said, at least. And from what I know, thatâs the plan. I guess tomorrow weâll start packing up my stuff with the others, and my dormmates should be coming too to help,â Mina smiled widely, and hugged Chaeyoung carefully, not wanting Chaeyoung to exert too much energy before sheâd be going back tomorrow. Â
âIâm glad. Iâm really glad youâre okay, Chaeyoung. You had me so worried,â tears welled silently in Minaâs eyes, but she didnât show Chaeyoung. At least she tried not to, but Chaeyoung saw, and lifted her thumb to gently wipe away the tears that did spill over.Â
The two stayed like that, in a quiet, comfortable silence, just hugging each other, glad that theyâre okay, the noise of the tv fading into the background, and only soft snores could be heard from Chaeyoung, Mina being calmed at the sound.Â
Eventually, Chaeyoung fell into a deep sleep, and Mina not wanting to wake her up, decided to carefully unlatch herself from the cubâs hold and walk down to the waiting room to sleep, where Chae told her to. Â
Mina walked in the waiting room, knowing that Dahyun was going to be there, and probably Sana, her new friend, too, but she didnât expect to see them nearly cuddling each other. Mina just smiled, shaking her head, but didnât bother the two. She was happy, seeing Dahyun so calm again. Itâs been a while, she thought. Normally Dahyun didnât have calm sleeps anymore.Â
She silently sat down a couple seats away from Dahyun, and looked out the window at the stars, letting herself get more and more drowsy by the second. The only sound to be heard in the room was the quiet buzzing of the dim lights in the hallway.Â

Meanwhile, the next morning back at Chaeyoung and Dahyunâs dorm, there were clothes flying all over the place in a violent battle between Momo, and her dresser. She struggled finding her heavy jacket since it was below freezing outside. âWhat the hell?! Tzuyu, have you seen my jacket!?âÂ
âNo, you probably lost it. Not my fault, I guess,â Tzuyu said, just loud enough for Momo to hear, and calmy walked out of her room to shower, but Momo noticed what she was holding. Her jacket.Â
âTzuyu, you evil Yoda, get back here now!â Momo yelled, running and tackling the poor tzuyu down to the floor, grabbing her jacket in the process. Â
Tzuyu pushed her off her and said, âGot you, thatâs not your jacket. Itâs a fake.âÂ
âWha- h-how??! Itâs literally my jacket, Tzuyu, it has my stickers on it and everything!â Momo said, confusedly looking back and forth between the jacket and Tzuyu, while the latter held her poker face.Â
âYouâre right, tricked you again, haha. I have to shower now, sorry if I take too long,â Tzuyu said, slyly smiling at the enraged Momo. Â
âWhatever, lets just hurry and get ready or weâll be late,â Momo sighed, giving up. Â
