I rubbed my eyes as I woke up to use the toiletry. Then I looked at the time. It was 10 minutes until it reached 5AM. Great. I had about an hour and a half to sleep. I was quite excited about that since I was up later than I expected with Beomgyu.

Just as I flipped the switch on to my bathroom, I felt a rush of panic as I realized I had to meet him in 10 minutes. That's when I began to rush to get ready. There was a bit to get done before I could meet him. Such as getting my stuff ready for my classes.

I urgently brushed through my hair. It kept getting knotted up with the quick swifts. I sighed deeply, getting frustrated. I felt like throwing my brush as hard as I could across the room. Next I brushed my teeth after my small internal tantrum.

Once finishing, I heard a knock on my door. It was sort of scary since it sounded outside of my bathroom door. Yet I also wondered who'd knock this early. The maid? I opened my bathroom door to go to my main dorm door, but was met with someone's chest.

I jumped back a bit startled to see an annoyed Beomgyu. Did he ever smile? Even just a little bit? I frowned deeply as he stood there, but also felt my heart beating out of my chest. I was also embarrassed that he was just there in general.

"How long does it take you to get ready?" he sighed.

I opened my eyes. I was still brushing my teeth, but seemed to have spaced out. Was it real? I turned the sink off and listened intently. It was as silent as the night. How long was I spaced out though? I looked at the clock. It had just struck 5AM. My eyes widened.

I grabbed my door knob and flung open the door. Then I rushed to grab my clothes so I could change, but was met with someone laying on the end of my bed. It was Beomgyu. He was just chilling as if nothing was bothering him.

"B-Beomgyu?" I said.

He opened an eye and looked at me, "You want me to leave so you can change? Just go change in your bathroom. I'm tired of waiting on you."

"Uh," I felt confused.

"You're wasting time, Yinjae!" He scolded.

I slowly turned towards my bathroom and headed in.

The cafeteria was loud, but the silence between Beomgyu and I was louder. He sat eating in peace meanwhile I had only taken hardly any sips of my coffee. This morning I wasn't hungry like usual. It was probably because I had only just woke up.

My head was slightly hurting, but I managed to tolerate it. Taking a sip of my coffee, I watched as two girls glared past me. Who was behind me that they didn't like? Out of curiosity, I turned around to see Chunha laughing with her clique of other girls.

I turned back to Beomgyu staring deeply at me. We weren't making eye contact, but more of he was zoned out. It made me wonder what he was thinking about, but I also wanted to ask a question or two. Such as if there was a time we could go out of the building.

The school oddly had curfew like we were children. I suppose it was understandable since college students typically liked to party. I was glad it was Friday, though, because we didn't have curfews on the weekends--except for Sunday.

"Do you have to study with Soobin tonight?" he asked.

"No," I said.

His question took me a second to think about before I could've answered. Soobin wouldn't make me study on the start of the weekend off, right? There wouldn't really be a reason to study since we didn't have school until Monday again.
