🔸️Gossip girls

[May 16th]

Before I finished swimming lessons, I would go straight to the dorm to sleep, but now I want to watch the track team practice; see how they are doing in defending our name at the intercollegiate level.

I occupie the most central place in the bleachers. From up here, I have a wide view of the running track.

Chae won, despite experiencing pain in her body for a few days, managed to run successfully, and her popularity here is increasing. The recognition is deserved: she is the shortest in terms of height, but she runs as fast as the tallest.

I heard from Chae-yeong that she even got the nickname because she is one of the fastest. I just hope she doesn't forget me, since now other girls want to be with her too.

Just now, during a competition, as she crossed the finish line, she waved to me. I was thrilled and excited.

Chae won comes towards me.

''Where is my magazine?''

On the seat to the left, I quickly grab it, opening it to the requested page. I've already read an important interview with Big Bang.

I lower it a little to unblock my vision, and I see Chae won running up into the bleachers.

I leaf through the pages, already hearing her footsteps approaching, and mumble something.

''What are you doing?'' Chae won laughs.

''Huh... what?'' I start to worry, looking at her embarrassed.

She puts her hands on her hips, keeping her an amused smile. ''Are you reading upside down?''

''What?''

''Didn't you realize you were reading it upside down? Dazed Korea...''

"A magazine?" I turn around to check. She is right! My cheeks are on fire. ''I-I know.'' I lower my gaze, feeling the heat rise throughout my body.

Chae won sat next to me, spreading a towel and wiping her red, sweaty face. ''Would you give me my cell phone?'', she asks.

''It's here in the backpack.'' I hand her over.

She unlocks the screen. Her wallpaper is a drawing of a busty Yandere named Kurumi Killer.

''Did you call your father?'

''I called him. He gave me permission,' she says in her disinterested voice, keeping her gaze and fingers busy scrolling through the screen.

''Was it that easy?''

''At the same time...''

''How did you convince him?''

''He always gives me what I want...'', she says without interest in maintaining the conversation.

''So... so... if you want to sleep at my apartment... There's nothing special there, but... we could...''

''I will!'' She smiles and puts her cell phone in her sock. Her clothes don't have pockets

"That sounds great!" I smile back, but a feeling of insecurity dominates me: The insecurity of sleeping in the same bedroom, as our apartment is small. ''It's just that my mother likes me to go to bed early.''

''What's early for you?''

''10pm?''

''It's a good time to sleep. But we can stay under the blanket and watch a movie using headphones,' says Chae won with a simple look.
