Falling Asleep Again | SINRIN |

•HANG OUT•

[Eonni, where are you?]

Yerin applied some rouge in her cheeks as she answered Umji on her phone.

"I'm on my way, just a little bit."

[Oh. Okay, we're here already, waiting for them. Take care, eonni!]

"Ne, thanks."

This is the day they'll hang out with Sowon and friends. Yerin didn't agreed to join in the first place but Umji and Eunha persisted her. She didn't even liked to put some make ups but the thought that Eunbi will be joining them makes her think that sometimes a little change isn't that bad.

After putting hinged barrettes on her hair, she quickly took her phone and put it in her sling bag. She glanced at the mirror for the last time and examine herself. Wearing a high waisted denim skirt paired with a fitted red shirt really suits her. The blush on added pink spots on her already pale skin. The lipstick made her look gorgeous and her hairdo is on point.

She finally went outside and gladly the weather's lovely just like her, it's a great day to hang out with friends.

Yerin entered the Café and she saw Eunha, Umji, Sowon, and Yuju. Eunha waved her hand and signaled her to come. They all looked so gorgeous even with simple outfits and people can't help to notice their overflowing visuals.

She walked towards their direction and smiled at them.

"Whoa Yerinie, you looked attractive as always!" Sowon blurted out while giving her a smile.

"Yes and one of the reasons why the cold cat fell in love," Yuju spilled, not worrying about what she said. They looked at her trying to figure out what she really meant by it. Confusion is on their faces except for Sowon and Yuju.

"Cold cat?" Eunha asked, curious as she is. "I don't really have idea what you're talking about," she pouted that made Sowon giggled.

"Just don't mind it, I love spilling random things," Yuju said.

"Just like how you do weird things?" Yerin asked and Yuju just laughed.

She joined them and sat beside Umji but her eyes roamed around. The ambiance of the Café involves lighting, artwork, and intimacy that creates comfort. But eventhough the atmosphere really looked good, she felt empty. She looked at them and they're talking happily.

'Why do I feel like there seems to be something missing? Or someone? Tsk, where is she? Maybe she's just late.'

They eat the food they ordered and started sharing some stories. They all felt comfortable now with each other and the fact that their bond has just started, they kinda feel like they have a strong bond in the first place. Who would've thought that they will be very close to each other?

"I thought Eunbi will join us," Yerin said shyly. Sowon and Yuju looked at each other while giving a slight smile knowing that Eunbi is on Yerin's mind. If Eunbi knows about this, it will ease the pain she's feeling right now.

"Uh, the thing is, Eunbi isn't feeling well today. I received a message from her saying that she'll be staying on her dorm and---" Sowon's words interrupted when Yerin suddenly reacted.

"What? She's not feeling well?"

"Maybe we can visit her later," Umji suggested and the rest agreed with it.

Yerin keeps on fidgeting and can't help to think about Sinb. She saw her right hand yesterday bleeding and she has no idea what happened to her. She really cares about her even if she didn't admit it. She even prepared for this day only knowing that Eunbi wouldn't come along.

"Hey, Yerin eonni, are you okay?" Eunha is worried, she can even see how Yerin is bothered by something.

"Y-yeah! I'm fine."

They've decided to go to the Mall and entered the boutique. Upon seeing the fashionable clothes and accessories, Eunha and Sowon suddenly run towards its direction while Umji, Yuju, and Yerin casually walks like it's not new to them.

"The clothes here are really good, I'm sure Eunbi would love this streetwear style here," Sowon said all of a sudden.

"Omo! I like these skirts here," Eunha exclaimed while touching those embossed flare skirt, plaid flare skirt and pleated skirt.

"These sundresses here are also pretty cute," Umji spoke.

"Oh, this one is quite good," Yuju said while pointing the baggy jeans.

Yerin on the other hand went to the streetwear style section to see what Sowon said earlier, Eunbi's favorite is casual outfit and she'll definitely like these stuffs here. The question is, will Eunbi like it if Yerin give it to her?

She's quite confused about what she feels right now. She needs Eunbi, she wants to talk to her.

"Uh, guys, would you mind if I go to the restroom? I'll be back," she said and they all nodded.

Yerin went to the restroom and look at herself in the mirror. Maybe she's in a state of bewilderment earlier but now, she realized something.

She freakin' likes Hwang Eunbi.

She can't stop thinking about her. All she need right now is her presence and nothing or no one can stop her from liking Eunbi. It's her first time liking a girl and for her, it is somehow awkward since they both like to annoy each other. From creating nicknames for each other and annoying each other to become comfortable with each other. Yerin don't want to make things worst.

She washed her hands and fixed her hair. She even applied some slight make-up and already went out.

She was about to enter the boutique when someone approached her.

"Yerin?"

She turned around only to find out that it's Taehyung.

"Oh, hi!" She greeted, barely smiling.

"You're alone here?"

"Not really---"

"Yerin eonni, I knew it! You said you'll just go to the restroom but you just wanted to meet Taehyung," Eunha interfered. Yerin saw them went out of the boutique and quite shocked that they saw her talking to Taehyung. Her cheeks are a little bit red but trying to be composed.

"No, it's not like that. I just saw h---"

"Eunbi?!" They were all surprised when Yuju mentioned Eunbi and their eyes are all focused on the girl at the right side of the boutique, though she's wearing a mask and cap, Yuju still recognized her for her casual outfit. She's looking at Yerin and Taehyung and the pain inside her suddenly come out.
