Apology
Change"Bbom ah," Chorong called from her seat with her usual soft voice. When Bomi turned in response, Chorong signalled for her to come to her seat.
"Your eyes.... are you okay?" Chorong was really concerned about Bomi, ever since she sent that text yesterday. For a couple of seconds after that, Bomi said nothing and simply stared at Chorong.
Then she finally spoke up. "Honestly no, but I'll be fine so don't worry." Noticing the bandage around Chorong's knuckles, she worriedly asked with sadness, "What happened to your hand? It has only been 12 hours since the last time I saw you and you got injured."
Chorong looked away. How was she supposed to tell Bomi that she hit her fist against the wall and it bled?
"You.. punched the wall right? Perhaps after you sent me the text yesterday...?" Bomi cautiously asked, not wanting to get Chorong angry.
Chorong continued to look away, but she bit her lip, feeling guilty for actually doing what Bomi had said. For that moment, she hated how Bomi could read her like a book. Bomi never failed to find out and understand everything as if they spent 24 hours a day together.
"So I was right," Bomi concluded. Pulling Chorong's hands towards her, she rubbed the bandaged area. "Why did you do that? It must have hurt a lot."
Chorong, however, ignored Bomi's question of concern and just went on replying whatever she wanted. "I'm sorry Bomi, I should have thought over before replying rashly like that.. I was just angry that you gave up so easily."
"It's okay, I understand. I'm sorry as well for harbouring such thoughts last night. I promise you I won't think like that ever again. Reply me Chorong, why did you do that?" Bomi had slight anger in her tone towards the end, which made Chorong rather scared.
Avoiding eye contact at all cost, she replied, "I.. I was angry, disappointed, and just had to let things out. I did not think that much and just hit the wall.. But it's okay it didn't hurt a lot, really." Well, technically it did not because she did not even care about tending to her bleeding hand until very much later.
"Promise me you'll never do that again," Bomi said with a stern voice which made Chorong afraid. But when Chorong nodded her head obediently, the stern Bomi patted Chorong on the head and commented, "That's my good girl." This made Chorong relaxed and blush slightly from the mention of "my" from Bomi.

"Naeun ah, could you close your eyes for a while please," Eunji requested. Naeun refused to do so. She knew Eunji had probably planned something, but part of her was afraid that Eunji would just take the chance and walk away.
"Please? Hmm?" Eunji waited for Naeun to listen to her. But when Naeun did not want to, Eunji did not want to force her either. "What's wrong, Naeun ah?"
Hesitantly, Naeun admitted shyly, "I'm afraid you will leave once I close my eyes." Eunji sighed at how Naeun was overthinking it. At the same she was glad, because it meant that Naeun was scared of losing her. In order to assure her, Eunji offered to let Naeun hold her hand while closing her eyes. Feeling secure, Naeun finally decided to close her eyes.
Eunji struggled to take out her gift for Naeun as she only had one free hand. After some time, she finally managed to take it out and slot it onto Naeun's wrist. Eunji was tempted to take advantage of the fact Naeun's eyes were close and give a peck on her forehead, but decided that Naeun might not be ready for that yet.
"You may open your eyes now," Eunji told her. Naeun did so and looked at her wrist. There on her wrist was a beautiful bracelet which was rather brightly coloured. At the middle of the bracelet, there were two pink heart shapes connected to each other.
"I heard that if someone puts a bracelet like this on another person, that means that the two people will be in love forever. It may sound stupid, but who knows, it might actually work. And this too, Naeun," Eunji said, taking out a dreamcatcher that could be used as a handphone accessory. "I'm sure you know this is a dreamcatcher. Everyone has lots of dreams in life. Let's spend a long time together so we can catch your dreams together."
Naeun laughed at how immature and naive Eunji sounded. But she was also touched by Eunji's gestures. Whacking Eunji childishly, Naeun replied, "Yah Jung Eunji, who said I wanted to be in love with you forever, and who said I wanted to spend a long time with you?"
"So.. you don't want?" Eunji frowned and slightly pouted at Naeun's response. Naeun giggled to herself, seeing Eunji's reaction.
"I don't want it, I am dying for it," Naeun said. She had the slightest doubt in Eunji's sincerity now. However, that minimal distrust was still there. "But..."
Eunji did not have to listen to Naeun's full sentence and understood her worry, but could not help but feel sad from it. "Don't trust me? I understand.."
Naeun felt guilty for spoiling the sweet moment between them. After thinking over it, she decided, "But I'm willing to try."
"Yay!" Eunji's frown turned into a huge eyesmile immediately. "Naeun, I will never treat you badly again. I will treat you so well that you wish I would stop."
