 -"Danny, wait let me explain-"

 -"Tomorrow, please, let's leave it for tomorrow. And don't be apologetic like that. I am simply curious to know how exactly this happened. But definitely not right now.", Danny breathed out heavily, as she sat on the edge of the bed.

   Realizing where she sat, she stood up and looked at Mariji, who's hair and makeup were completely messed up.

 -"Okay, so can you like put something on, please? And, maybe, we could change the sheets? Like I don't know, the idea of Jaebeom, you know, doing things here just-"

 -"Yes, absolutely, don't even mention it, just gimme a sec.", Mariji reassured her, feeling all nervous and exposed.

   She stood, wrapping herself with the bedsheets like a burrito, and crawled outside her room, on the way to the bathroom right across. She heard a very silent "hey!" and turned to see Jaebeom.

 -"What are you doing here?"

 -"Well, I was waiting to see if you would come out(?)", they started whispering.

 -"UHM, o k a y but can you please go? Danny is just there, and someone else could see us!!"

 -"Fine."

   He grinned at her, as he stepped closer. He stood right in front of her for a second, before he leaned in, grabbing her chin, and left a soft and long kiss on her lips.

 -"I had fun tonight, cockroach.", he said, being so close to her, that she could feel his soft breath linger, becoming one with hers.

   Her eyes widened, and she started hitting him and throwing his flip flops at him, while trying to hold up her sheet, at the same time. He drew himself back, in sign of defeat, trying to hold back his laughter.

 -"Get lost now, before I kill you!!!", she whisper-shouted.

 -"Hahahahaha, got it, got it, okay, I AM LEAVING, stop it!!!", he said heading for the stairs.

   Before he was completely lost out of her sight, he said:

 -"Goodnight, Mar."

 -"Goodnight, Beomie.", she replied, realizing this was the first time he had ever called her by her name, or a version of it at least.

   After having washed and dressed herself, Mariji returned to her room, and set the new pair of sheets on her bed, with Danny. The two girls sat on the bed, and Danny, looked at Mariji for the first time just now, revealing her watery onyx eyes.

 -"Hey, hey, hey Danny dearest, what's the problem? What happened?", Mariji approached the vulnerable girl, who now let herself free, to cry in her best friend's arms.

   They sat down, and talked about everything, Danny's situation with Yugyeom, the initial fight between him and Johnny, how he had declared his love for her in front of him all these times, and last but not least, her fight with Johnny tonight. They spoke for hours, trying to figure the situation out, Mariji trying to give her the best advice she could, but also comfort her at the same time. 

   After many, many hours of Danny of feeling completely helpless in her boyfriend's case and crying her heart out, she finally got tired from all the crying and was actually feeling better from her friend's presence and help. So the two of them, fell asleep together, one holding the other tight.

   Danny turned to face the clock on the wall right in front of her.
