TIMESKIP 1 WEEK...

"Hii-chan?"

The called girl glanced over from her bed, "yeah Nako-chan?"

"Want to go to the cafe after your last class?"

"Huh? Why?"

The small girl shrugged, "I just want to take you there, I don't think we've ever gone together... I'd just sometimes see you at work there."

Hitomi smiled, "sure! The cafe should still be open after my last class..."

Nako grinned, "niceee, my treat?"

"Oh are you sure?"

"Yeah, I'm sure. I want to pay you back."

"Huh? For what?"

Nako chuckled, sitting down next to Hitomi, "for being an amazing roommate and... friend."

"I can't believe you."

"W-wait, I can ex-"

"Was this one-sided? Was I dating myself all along?"

...

"You miss her, don't you."

A caramel-haired girl startled, peeling her eyes away from the Korean drama playing on the cafe's TV as Eunbi called out to her.

Chaewon shrugged, "eh, it's not like we were friends..."

"Has she texted you back?"

"..."

The younger girl took out her phone, leaning against the counter as she scrolled to find Minju's number.

Her first text was to answer what Minju sent her that day when she walked home

Her first text was to answer what Minju sent her that day when she walked home... She felt so bad, she felt as if she should have apologized early on.

Every day... She sent a text in the morning, hoping that by the end of the day, Minju would answer...

The latest text was sent right before she went to work today, she couldn't bear not seeing the younger girl any longer.

Chaewon glanced up as Eunbi covered her phone with her hand, "no phones during work, let me put it in your locker, yeah?"

"Thanks unnie..."

The older woman nodded with a small smile, ruffling the cashier's hair before walking back to the staff's only area.

Chaewon sighed, putting up a grin as a customer went up to her, "hello, what can I get for you?"

"Hi Chaewon-unnie."

The girl startled, only to smile as she saw who came up to her, "Hitomi! Nako! Hello~"

The two Japanese students placed a few pieces of breads on the counter, the three chatting as Chaewon handed them their order and receipt.

"Thanks for coming! Your guys's drinks will be out soon."

"Thanks unnie~"

Chaewon gave a nod, getting the next customer's order as she saw the girls sit down nearby.

'They look adorable together...'

She softly chuckled to herself, her eyes going back up to the TV despite herself after the line had cleared out.

'Minju... Where are you?'

A/N: Apologies for the short chapter, I feel like I accidentally got rid of a few pre-written chapters after this? I don't know, it suddenly jumped from this (CH.12) to CH. 16 (the one I was writing at the time I first posted this on AFF) so I have no idea if I'm being delusional or if it was just a typo 🤡 But anyways, thank you for reading!And, AJHDGK the text bubbles are on the wrong side 🤦 Please pretend it's on the blue side with Chaewon texting, I'll fix it when I have time later on.
