Paper Hearts「2Shin」

2U

Yuna was woken up from her sleep by a sudden noise that came from downstairs. It sounded like someone just entered the house. She looked over to her side and saw Ryujin sleeping peacefully, her arm was wrapped around Yuna's waist and the sight of it gave her butterflies to the point that it felt like it was hurting.

'What is this feeling...?' She pondered.

"Shin Ryujin! Skipping school again?" Yuna's thoughts were interrupted by the shout from the stranger and the sudden knee-jerking reaction that came from Ryujin.

"Fuck, that's Chaeryeong," Ryujin mumbled, she grabbed her side of the blanket and flipped it so that she could get out of bed.

"I'll be right back, okay Yuna?" The younger girl only nodded, too tired to even care about what the hell is going on. "YO SHIN RYUJIN!" The screams were getting even closer and before the both of them knew it, the door to Ryujin's room swung open and there was the brunette looking at them with her eyes wide open.

"What the fuck?!"

"Chaeryeong, OUT NOW!" Ryujin looked at Yuna's way apologetically and dragged Chaeryeong out, slamming the door behind her.

"Why the fuck are you sleeping with her on a school DAY?!"

"Shut your fucking mouth up, I'm not SLEEPING with her," Ryujin said through gritted teeth, she wanted to yell in Chaeryeong's face but Yuna might hear it and get uncomfortable at the way they're talking about her.

"Then why the fuck are you guys in the same bed? She's still in her uniform all dishevelled?" Chaeryeong gripped her hair, almost as if she's the one that's caught in the act. Typical Chaeryeong.

"She fought with Yeji! Look, I'll tell you about it when Yuna isn't around okay? I've got to get back to her. And I did NOT do anything, she looks dishevelled because she's been through HELL today."

"Fine, don't you screw this girl up though. I'll kick your fucking ass if you do." And with that, Chaeryeong left to let Ryujin take care of Yuna. Ryujin sighed, running her fingers through her hair and went back inside the room to see Yuna staring off to Mars.

"Hey," Ryujin softly called out with a smile, "You wanna get back home soon? I'm sure your family might be worried about you."

Yuna glanced at Ryujin with a pout, "Can I just stay with you?"

The tone of her voice was enough to make Ryujin's knees go weak but she braved on and stood up straight, she was glad that she was leaning against the door. God forbid what could have happened if she didn't.

"Sure you can, Yuna. You should tell your family though."

"I did, just now. They said I can stay with you for as long as I want." Ryujin's eyes bulged, she was so fucked.

"O- oh, that's cool... Okay, well, um... I'll get you spare clothes and other necessities then." Ryujin left the room and Yuna finally let out the breath she's been holding in.

She covered her face with both her hands, she was sure she had cold sweat from being so nervous to tell Ryujin that she wants to stay for a while. At least, away from Yeji who will probably look for her at her house. She told Hyejeong to not let Yeji know where she is and despite not knowing the reason, Hyejeong agreed to keep her location a secret and made sure their parents got the hint as well.

Plus... It seemed like Ryujin needed company too.

The door creaked open and there came Ryujin with a clean towel and a toothbrush, "So, you can grab any of my clothes and there's a guest room ready for you just beside mine with an attached bathroom so you don't have to worry about walking around in just your towel." Ryujin smiled sheepishly and sat beside Yuna, handing the towel to the girl who had a small smile on her face.
