“You look really happy this morning.” I said, slipping off my helmet and observing Vernon's odd behavior.

“I have something to show you.” he smiled broadly, as I swung my leg over my bike, grabbed my backpack and alarmed the motorcycle. An envelope was shoved at me before I could step on the pathway the led to school. With a curious expression I wiggled out the piece of paper and unfolded it, muttering the words under my breath. I couldn’t even get through the rest of the letter without squealing and jumping on him.

“Are you fucking serious right now?” I asked in disbelief, hugging him tightly.

“So fucking serious.” Vernon replied, matching my tone.

“Dude Yonsei-freaking-University.” Stunned. So damn stunned right now. He set me down and I took step back, getting a good look at him. “I’m so proud of you.”

He shifted his gaze to the ground, blushing at my compliment to him.

“Thanks.” I handed back the paper and pulled him for another hug.

“What did the others say?” Turning my head, I pressed my ear to his chest listening his heart beat.

“They don’t know yet.”

“What about Yuqi?”

Vernon stayed quiet, resting his chin on top of my head and sighing.

“She doesn’t know yet either.” he mumbled.

“Wait a minute-” I said, gently pushing him off to try and catch those shifty eyes. “-you told me first?”

“Yea it’ll be fine-”

“So are we just going to ignore the fact that you and I spent three hours on the phone last night talking about how Yuqi is jealous of our relationship.” When I should’ve been talking to Sana.

“Oh, didn’t really think about that.” he said sheepishly. Such a fucking guy.

I rolled my eyes as I spun around and headed towards school, spotting Sana's car on the way. It’s been a really long time since I’ve made a detour to her class. Why did I stop? It’s been three weeks since we danced in my bedroom and so far, knock on wood, we’ve been keeping together. This could have something to do with us not seeing each other, our schedules at the moment are opposite. I run in the morning with Wendy and Moonbyul now while she’s here early and after school I’m free but lately Sana has been bombarded with study sessions. Recently I got a job, well sort of. Part time help at one of the animal shelters and it’s actually not that bad, however my free time is slowly dwindling. By the time she gets home I’m wrapped up in homework, dinner, and more homework mixed with reports, plus, even more homework.

Did I mention homework?

Aside from that Sana has been calling me and vice versa when either of us have time. She’s been great at answering any of the random questions that pop in my head, whether it’s about Jun, her mom, her past, whatever it is, she answers. Communication has been a big deal for us, like I thought I was ready to talk about our feelings and shit but I was not, because my almost-girlfriend can dig real fucking deep. Example, two days we were talking on the phone…

“...I was. Jun and I had a confusing relationship. We could never stay mad at each other for too long. I was upset but I do care for him and when he came to my house with those stupid puppy dog eyes, I caved. It may sound silly or that I’m making excuses-”

“No it doesn’t.” I replied, cutting her off. “If Vernon had no place to go after he kissed me, I’d probably let him stay as well.”
