"I don't like her either." Seojun says.

I turn to him with a shocked look on my face. He turns to me looking confused. I slap his arm. He rubs it.

"What was that for?" He asks, wincing as he tries to make his arm feel better.

"We agreed on something!" I say enthusiastically.

He stops rubbing his arm and frowns at me. I just smile innocently back at him. He takes the cup of punch from my hand and starts drinking it.

"Hey!" I say while trying to grab it back.

He blocks me with his other arm, looking unbothered. I give up and go back to how I was before. He smiles to himself, continuing to drink my punch.

"Where did you get the outfit from?" He asks, not looking at me.

I look down at the outfit and frown. It was a little too girly for my taste.

"I don't want to hear any snide remarks." I say.

"I just asked a question." He says in a defensive tone.

"Jugyeong brought it for me. She didn't want me to be around tons of people in my hospital gown." I say.

Seojun hums and finishes the punch.

"It probably looked better on Jugyeong." He says, passing me to go and throw away the cup.

I scowl at him and he smiles.

"Ah, Gowoon!" I say, waving to her.

She excuses herself from the group of people and walks over to me.

"Hey Yusoi. I like your outfit." She said.

"No need to lie, sis." Seojun says as he makes his way back over to us. I roll my eyes.

"Hey, Seojun, no need to be rude." Gowoon snaps back.

"It's fine, I'm not a fan of it either. Jugyeong let me borrow it."

"I think it suits you." Gowoon says as she looks me up and down.

I smile.

"Thank you." I say.

She smiles back.

"Hm, maybe you don't look as bad as I originally thought." Seojun says with his hand on his chin, acting like he was critiquing my outfit.

"Hey, all I know is that I definitely look better than you." I say.

He laughs.

"There's no way."

"She's right," Gowoon says, "She looks way better than you."

I smile at Gowoon. Seojun scoffs.

"My own sister has turned against me." He says in disbelief.

"It was bound to happen one of these days." She says.

-

"You want me to keep it?" I say to Jugyeong as we begin to clean up from the party.

"Yeah, you look way better in it than I do." She says as she collects all of the cups into the trash bag.

The others left a little while ago and I offered to help clean with Jugyeong. We had to be done before a group comes in to do an activity.

"Are you happy that Suho is going to be at school again, soon?"

She hums.

"Of course! I missed him a lot." Jugyeong says while smiling to herself.

"Does your family know about you two?" I ask as I tie up a full trash bag.

"Only my dad," She cringes, "He found out in the worst way possible." She whines.

I laugh.

"What happened?"

"He was in Suho's house while we were on a date and then he popped up from under a table as Suho and I were about to kiss."

I burst out into laughter.

"Hey! Don't make me feel worse about it!"

"I'm sorry." I say through my fit of laughter.

Jugyeong 'tsks' at me as we go back to cleaning up.

"Oh!" She says all of a sudden.

I look up at her to see her running over to a corner of the room. She grabs a bag and rushes over to me, holding it out.

"What is this?" I ask with a smile.

"Open it!" She says, excitedly.

I set down the trash bag I was holding and take the bag from Jugyeong. She holds her hands together as she watches me with excitement. I take out the tissue paper and pull out a nice puffer jacket.

"Wow." I say in amazement.

It was a long black puffer jacket, one similar to what I've seen celebrities on tv wear. I push it back into the bag and hug Jugyeong tightly. She hugs me back the same way.

"Thank you so much." I say, looking back at the bag.

"I thought it might keep you warm whenever you go outside." She says.

"Did you buy it?" I ask.

She nodded her head.

"Well, my mom lent me some money."

I laugh.

"Tell her I said 'thank you'."

-

I was sitting outside, no longer wearing the outfit Jugyeong gave to me, but I was wearing a jacket she bought for me. I sighed happily, feeling somewhat comfortable to be back in a hospital gown. As morbid as that may sound.

"Woah, where did you get the jacket?" I heard an all too familiar voice say.

I sigh as I turn to Seojun. He sits beside me on the bench, quite closely, actually. But I felt to lazy to scoot over.

"Jugyeong bought it for me. Isn't it nice?" I say with one of the biggest smiles on my face.

I didn't notice, but Seojun was looking at me, a gentle smile on his face that was induced by my happiness. I look up at him and he hides his smile.

"Yeah, it looks pretty nice. Much better than the outfit you had on before." He teased.

I frown and look away from him.

"Yeah, well, she gave that to me too." I say, no longer enjoying his company.

"What are you doing out here? It's cold and late."

I laugh.

"It's like nine o'clock." I say, turning back to him.

He had a somewhat worried look on his face.

"Try eleven-thirty." He says back.

My eyes widened.

"What? You're lying."

He shakes his head and pulls out his phone. He turns it on, and in order to see it, I had to scoot just a little bit closer to him to look down at his phone.

"Wow. It really is eleven-thirty." I say in disbelief as I subconsciously grab his phone while it was still in his hand.

His hand felt warm, he must have been inside for some time. His phone turned off and he cleared his throat, hesitantly removing his hand from my grip.

"Just... make sure to get inside soon." He says as he stands up.

I chuckle.

"Why? Are you worried about me?" I ask in a teasing tone.

He scoffs and looks at me.

"Not a chance." He says, but I could tell he was lying.

I smiled to myself as he turned to walk away.
