Yoobin walked down the dorm's hallways again. It's been a month. A whole month since the last time she's been around campus and two months and a half since the last time she's been at the dorms. The dorms didn't look that different though. The hallways were still dark, the lights above them old and barely lighting up the place, if they worked that was. The walls were old and cold as well. The old rusty floor made a sound as her suitcase's wheels rolled on it. The place hadn't changed, not even a bit. 

 

She passed by a dorm room and suddenly got curious. Should she knock on the door and see how Mihyun was doing and peek to see if her roommate was in there or should she move on? She gulped and forced her feet to walk further. She shouldn't torture herself. After all, she returned back from her hometown, since the break was over, and she had so much fun there. She did so many different things with her family and she literally didn't even have free time, not even for a second. Her days were filled with her family, activities and fun. It was a really great way to get her mind distracted, clear it up from bad thoughts and finally have some peace. She felt stronger and lighter so she shouldn't ruin this from now. She would face Yewon later anyway. 

 

She didn't have time though because Mihyun opened her dorm's room and as soon as she faced Yoobin's back she called out for her. 

 

"Yoobin?" Yoobin wanted to pretend that she didn't hear her but that would be mean. So, she turned around and faced her. 

 

"Yeah? Oh hey!"

 

"Hey yourself. You're back!"

 

"Didn't know everyone around here noticed my absence." Yoobin joked. 

 

"Oh please. I'm teammates with Jiho, Hyojung and Seunghee so I heard their whining about how much they missed you every single day. Literally." Yoobin laughed. 

 

"Come inside! I think I might have some hot coffee. I'm pretty sure you're tired from the trip and a hot drink is all you need right now." Yoobin smiled. 

 

"Weren't you going somewhere though? I don't want to be a burden, you know."

 

"You're never a burden. Plus I was just going to throw the rubbish, that's all." Mihyun said and walked into her dorm. Yoobin followed her from behind, her feet dragging her softly. She placed her suitcase by the door and Mihyun closed it. They got further into the dorm and Mihyun headed towards the small kitchen. Yoobin headed towards her bed to sit but that's when she saw… 

 

"Hey. I didn't know you were returning today." Yewon said. She was lying on her own bed and she was playing games on her phone, totally bored. 

 

"Yeah. Apparently… I was." 

 

"Obviously since you're here. How was your holiday?"

 

"Nice. I rested a lot." Yoobin answered shortly. Her phone started ringing and as soon as she saw the ID she smiled. Yewon frowned. 

 

"Hey unnie." She said with a smile. 

 

"Hey! Did you arrive safely?" Joohyun asked her. 

 

"Mm yeah."

 

"Ok cool. That's what I wanted to ask. Be safe, study well, I love you!" Yoobin giggled. 

 

"I love you too. Gosh I'm gonna miss you so much now!" She said and pouted. 

 

"Tell her I said hi." She heard her brother saying.

 

"Hyojin says hi! I'm gonna miss you too." 

 

"Tell him I say hi too." 

 

"She says hi-"

 

"Give me the phone."

 

"What? No-! Hey, give it back!"

 

"Hi Yoobin ah! Did you arrive well?"

 

"Yes oppa. I did." Yoobin said and shook her head to herself. What would she do with those two? She was the youngest yet she felt like she was the oldest among her siblings. They acted like kids. 

 

"Ok! Study well. Stay safe, be careful and don't go out too late! If any annoying dude dares to harm you I swear I-"

 

"Enough with playing the good brother! Give me the phone! Sorry Yoobin ah. He's annoying, you know him." Yoobin laughed. Her eyes fell on Yewon accidentally who had stopped playing and she was instead staring at Yoobin with a frown on her lips. 

 

"It's ok."

 

"Ok um, we gotta go. We'll talk later, ok?" 

 

"Yeah. Talk to you later, bye!" Yoobin said and ended the call. As soon as her eyes fell on Yewon again she knitted her eyebrows confused as to why was Yewon looking at her like that. 

 

"Who was on the phone?"

 

"My siblings." Yoobin answered shortly. Yewon nodded her head and returned back to playing. Soon, Mihyun made her way to the bedroom and gave Yoobin her cup of hot coffee. Yoobin felt so dumn for explaining herself. She didn't owe any explanation to Yewon but for some reason she felt like doing it. She shouldn't though. 

 

"Do you need help with unpacking by the way? I'm not sure if Jiho's home so… we can give you a hand." Yoobin shook her head.

 

"It's ok. I can manage."

 

"No, we insist. We want to help you." Yewon suddenly said, with a newfound determination and excitement. Yoobin didn't want to be around Yewon for long but denying again sounded wrong and harsh. After all, Mihyun would have been there as well, right? 

 

"Fine." 

 

"Yay!" Mihyun cheered happily. 

 

Fortunately for Yoobin, unpacking went well. Mihyun was around Yoobin's dorm room all the time so Yewon didn't really have a chance to speak to her personally or tell her something that only the two of them should know or or flirt with her. They were almost done when Mihyun said she was going to return back with some popcorn and drinks and left the dorm. And that's when Yoobin started feeling uneasy. She wanted to beg her to not go and just send Yewon or she could go instead of Mihyun but all those sounded weird so she let it go and let Mihyun leave, just like that. She wished Mihyun knew about her situation though. If she knew, she wouldn't have made such a move from the start. 

 

"I missed you." Yewon immediately said. Yoobin bit her lips, totally surprised. Those random confessions that shouldn't be made in the first place always caught her off guard. 

 

"You shouldn't though."

 

"Why not? I still have feelings for you."

 

"But I told you I can't do anything about that." Yoobin sighed. She had made peace in her mind and feelings and she had gotten ready to say a few words to Yewon if that
