Era normally would not have done this but she's genuinely worried about Arin's whereabouts. She thinks she also saw a car with tinted glasses drop her the other day. Where is she going so early in the morning and returning hours after her classes are over?

So that's how she ends up falling Arin to her university and Era was doubtful if her sister even does that. But she sighs in relief when Arin directly walks towards her classes. She walks around the campus, looking at the students around and remembers her university days.

There are a few stalls set up at the corner and she thinks what other ways can she find to spend the next five hours here. She walks around, eats a few snacks from the stalls then looks through the clothes before she comes across the one which was selling handmade goodies. A coffee textured book draws her attention. She is a sucker for such aesthetic items.

She does not waste a moment contemplating whether to buy it or not and pays the money, admiring the smell of paper and coffee from the book. As expected, Arin's out of the class on time but instead of taking the usual bus to home, she takes the subway instead. 

Era struggles to keep track of Arin with the crowd around but manages to get on the train the younger does. Where is she going?

It is not long enough before Arin gets down on a familiar station. It clicks to Era and she scoffs in disbelief.

No way is she going there.

All of the guesses Era made come true when she stands a mile away from the familiar dorm. She is so pissed at Arin. Is this what she's been doing? Waiting for the guys to come out or just wait to expect to get one glance of them? She almost screams her name when Arin casually walks past the security to go inside as if it were her house. What? How? 

Era stands there, clueless.

She is sure that she won't be able to go past the security that way and drag out her sister— she is still in shock at how her sister did that. If she were to call her sister, she would definitely get a bunch of lies. Waiting outside until Arin comes out is the best option she can think of.

Arin is just seeking trouble. She sighs, looking at the time.

She is still standing in the middle of the road when there's a screeching sound behind her and she almost jumps in fear when a bicycle's front tyre almost stops— almost touching her legs. She is sure she let out a screeching scream rivalling the tyre's sound but when she looks up at the driver to scold him, she freezes. 

It's a man but he has a mask and helmet on. But Era thinks she has seen those dragon-like, heavy hooded eyes somewhere.

The man's heavy breathing fills in the silent air and it makes her uneasy. Her heart seems to like it though because it flutters when his eyes look right into hers'.
