9.

[parts 9-10 are in yuqi's pov]

I returned home and Minnie was back, surprisingly. I didn't mention a single thing about where I was, who I was with and what I had just heard from Soyeon, even though Minnie asked me. There was a loud knock at the door a bit later on, and Minnie left again.

She left at around 4 am, and I couldn't fall asleep after that. I kept thinking about the whole day and what happened and how I really need to think more before I say stupid shit or talk in a tone I'm not supposed to. I couldn't help but think I hurt Soyeon with the way I talked, which is only fair, honestly. But the desire I had for her to just be next to me in bed and I would make it up to her with cuddles and stuff...

Eventually, the time for me to get up finally came. I spent 4 hours awake doing nothing but thinking about her, again. I got out of bed, ate only like 6 chocolate bars and drank some juice again, then brushed my teeth and picked out a cute outfit. I didn't call Miyeon to drive me today, I decided to just walk there, so once I was ready I grabbed my bag and left the house.

The walk didn't take me as long as I thought, but it seemed that I had arrived at the same time as Soyeon. I watched from afar as Shuhua got out of the car with her too, she told her something and then they both hugged. As Shuhua got back in her car I approached Soyeon, hesitating to say something at first. But I didn't have to. As soon as Soyeon turned around and saw me, we stared into each other's eyes for a bit, then she pulled me into a hug. A hug that I didn't wanna pull away from, and that eventually brought tears to my eyes.

"Don't cry." Soyeon said as we pulled away for a bit and she looked at me. She wiped a tear that rolled down my cheek and then took my hand and we walked to our lecture hall.

Why is she being so nice to me? After the way I spoke to her last night? I don't deserve this.

Soyeon and I sat in the ninth row today, in the very back of the lecture hall. My eyes hurt and burned and felt puffy due to my lack of sleep these past few nights, but I couldn't do anything about it. And I can't ask Soyeon to do my makeup again or something again. I just wanna sleep. With her.

"You haven't slept again," Soyeon pointed out. I nodded, then yawned and felt my eyes start to hurt even more.

"I haven't slept for 3 days." I said. I turned to get a good look at Soyeon now, and she looked pretty tired herself. Her makeup was very well done as always, but it was darker than usual, so it could perhaps hide the fact that she hadn't slept either.

"Just sleep here then." Soyeon said, again like it was normal to sleep in a lecture hall.

"I can't. It's not comfy or soft."

Soyeon yawned.

"I wanna go home." She said.

"Why did you even come here today?" I asked.

"I had nothing better to do. Shuhua had to go somewhere."

I stared at Soyeon blankly for a bit. I felt my puffy eyes widen as she streched again and arched her back. I also felt my face flush, but I hid it with my hands. Soyeon didn't look at me, so I then moved closer to her and rested my head on her chest, and then, fell asleep.

~~•~~

I had no idea how much time had passed, but I was awoken by someone shaking me and Soyeon.

"Wake up you two!!" Olivia whisper-yelled. "Quick! The next lecture's gonna start."

Soyeon moved to rub her eyes, then I lifted myself off of her.

"How long did we sleep?" I asked. Olivia chuckled at me.

"All throughout the first lecture and most of the first break."
