Dohee made her way across the boys dorm, finally reaching her room. She opened the doors and threw her bag in the corner, falling on the ground right after.

Asahi eyed her with a blank expression and continued scrolling through his phone. "I'm fine thanks for asking." She mumbled and turned to look at the ceiling.

"How was your day?" The girl asked and he mumbled an 'okay', not really in the mood to talk to her. "Hopefully better than mine, I did my math homework for three hours and then had tutoring for two more.

Not to mention they burned the food so I'm hungry. HOW CAN YOU EVEN BURN NOODLES??" She groaned and turned her head to look at the boy but upon seeing him not paying attention to her a small frown appeared on her lips.

She got up into a sitting position as the boy walked over to his desk, putting on his earphones. "Yeah, thanks for ignoring me." She mumbled and walked onto her bed, hugging a pillow. "Do you even hear me?" Upon not getting a response she nodded her head slighly. "I guess not."

She kept silent for some time before starting to talk again. "You know, I was once like that; silent and all but something changed-" Her sentence was cut off as the boy got up and glared at her. "Oh, so you did hear me-"

He took his jacket and phone and walked out, closing the doors with a loud thump. "Ah shit, did I make him mad?" Dohee sighed and put the pillow over her head. Some time later she fell asleep in that position.

The girl woke up and rubbed her eyes, yawning loudly. "Oh my god, that was a good ass sleep." She mumbled and walked down the ladder. Her roommate was nowhere to be seen so she looked at the clock. "Oh, he must've went to class already."

It was already near eight, luckily she didn't have her first class. "Hm, did he even come back yesterday?" She questioned as she made her way towards the bathroom.

After she was done with her morning routine and had changed into her school uniform she stood at the doors. Some time later she was done getting ready and walked out of the dorm.

She hurried towards the store, not wanting to be late to her first class of the day. "Good morning!" Dohee smiled at the cashier and made her way through the shelves, deciding on what to buy.

The girl took a pack of cup noodles and an energy bar before walking towards the entrance and paying for the mentioned.

A few minutes later she arrived to school and made her way through the hall, stopping in front of a class. She waited for a few minutes before the teacher left and bowed at her as she did so.

She entered the room, catching attention of most students inside. Her eyes fell on the person she wanted to see and she made her way towards him, leaving the things she bought on his table. Her roommate looked at her with a confused face while she awkwardly smiled.

"I'm sorry if I made you annoyed yesterday." She said and bowed slightly, running away from the class towards her own. Her cheeks flushed red and she covered her face with her hands as she sat down next to Jaehyuk.

"Hello class!" Sound of the teacher's voice made her snap out of her thoughts and raise her head to look at the board.

During the whole class she felt someone's eyes on her, making her feel uncomfortable. She looked around but wasn't able to find the person. A small sigh left her mouth, bringing Jaehyuk's attention. "Is something wrong?"

"No, everything is alright." Dohee faked a smile and the boy nodded his head, turning his attention back to the teacher.

"Dohee, can you stay for a bit?" Mr. Jung, their homeroom teacher, said as soon as he finished the lesson and the mentioned girl nodded. A few moments later the classroom was empty, leaving her and the teacher alone. "Are you working on fixing your grades?"

"Ah yes, a friend is helping me study." She replied and he nodded. "My daughter is good at math and offered her help so if you are interested, this is her number." He said and gave her a piece of paper with numbers on it. "Thank you sir." She bowed and he patted her shoulder.

"Now go eat." The girl smiled and made her way out of the classroom.

Dohee slowly entered the room, closing them with one hand, the other hand holding her phone as she read a message from her teacher's daughter. Without paying much attention to her surroundings she left her bag in the corner of the room and sat on the bean bag next to the bed.

A few moments later she locked her phone and let out a loud sigh. She looked around her and saw her roommate staring at her. She pressed her lips together into a line and moved her gaze towards her hands, playing with her bracelet.

"Thank you." Asahi said, making her look up. "For the snacks." He added and she smiled slightly. "I'm sorry for being annoying, I'll do my best not to annoy you anymore."

He nodded his head and continued scrolling through his phone. She felt her phone buzz in her lap and raised it to look at the new message.

Dohee:

Math tutor nim:

Dohee:
Okay, I'll see you there
then.

Dohee let out a slight sigh at the thought of studying math so late. She slowly got up and opened the closet, reaching for some clothes she could wear.

Her legs moved towards the bathroom where she changed and immediately walked back to her room. She left her school uniform in the closet and took her backpack, leaving all the books except math on her desk.

After putting on a jacket and her shoes she made her way out. "Hey! Where are you going?" Asahi suddenly called out for her, making her stop moving and open the doors to look at him. "I'm going to town to buy something for my brother, it's his birthday soon. After that I have math tutoring. Why do you ask?"

"Oh okay. I thought you're avoiding me now." He said, looking everywhere but at her. "Don't worry. I'll see you later then, bye!" She waved at him and closed the doors, walking towards the nearby bus stop.
