Hyein
An hour has already passed since Haerin was locked up inside the recording room. Well, if only she said yes to me then she should be sleeping with me right now, but instead, she chose to reject me so that's it. Just like the old saying, every action comes with consequences.
I'm not obsessed with Haerin or anything, what I did to her was just a joke. And maybe I'll get her out of there tomorrow morning. But, is she alright in there? If I remember correctly, I think there's no electricity in there.
Is someone speaking to me? I've been hearing voices ever since I entered our room but whenever I look at its direction, there's no one there.
Stop overthinking Hyein, it's alright, just let her be. No, wait, what if she collapse there? She's having stomach cramps this morning right? I guess not. She's been fine the whole day.
Never thought that that it will be boring when I'm sleeping here alone. No one to talk with, and no one to tell me to go to sleep.
So here's the deal. If Haerin will just reject me, why would she even bother treating me like that? I mean, everytime I tell her that I love her, what's her response? She always reply with "Hmm, me too" and it only meant one thing for me, and it's that she's reciprocating my feelings for her. Or did I just misunderstood her?
Wait a second, could it be that Haerin has feelings for someone else? But if so, then with who? Danielle? Minji-unnie? Hanni-unnie?
"Damn it!" I can't get my thoughts together, my mind's all filled with these crazy thoughts and it keeps on getting worse. Should I tell Minji-unnie? But if I did, she'll probably start suspecting me.
What if Haerin's freezing in that room? The weather forecast announced earlier that it'll be colder than usual tonight. Nah, it ain't gonna happen, I bet that room's warm even a bit.
But still, I wonder if she's alright though.

I
t's 10pm already so Minji-unnie's already sleeping for sure. So I just have to make as little sound as possible. Once she sees me sneaking out, she'll force me to go to sleep and will give me an earful for sure.
I look like a kid who's trying to sneak out from her parents though.
Before I could even put my hand at the doorknob, it already twisted and the sound of it unlocking came out. Could it be that? I shouldn't be thinking who's there right now. But if I dash back to my room, it'll be so loud that the others will wake up as I'm wearing my slippers which Haerin gave me on my 14th birthday.
But then, before getting the chance to decide what to do, the door already had opened. And my guess was right, it's Hanni-unnie who just came back from her photoshoot, tired and restless.
"Why is it so dark in here? Has everyone turned into vampires?" she mumbled while reaching for the switch, struggling since she can't touch it anywhere. The lights are currently off so she can see almost nothing, that is how our room was designed. The moment you turn the lights off, it's just complete darkness.
After she pressed the switch, the whole area was lit up and now she has finally noticed me. So I guess it's plan failed. "Hyein, you're still awake?" she asked as she approach me."Why aren't you sleeping yet? Good thing I was the one who saw you or else you're gonna get scolded big time"
"I'm.." What should I answer her? I can't tell her that I'm gonna get some fresh air since that's not a valid reason and it's so simple.
"I'm going to..." My mind can't think of anything. Just an excuse to go outside, please my pea brain of mine, go and get some work done!
"You can't answer me?" Hanni-unnie said while smiling. I'm doomed, is she mad? If she's mad then she's a lot worse than Minji-unnie. It's that she rarely gets mad except when things had already gotten out of hand.
But if she ever got mad? I'm telling you, anyone's eardrums will surely break once she started yelling, her high pitched scream will tell you that and I'm still traumatized by it up to this day.
"It's not that hard to answer my question right? Where are you going in the middle of the night when you're supposed to be sleeping?" This time her tone started to change. What's worse is that she's still smiling with her eyes closed while facing me!
"I'm craving meat buns" I blurted out, that's the only excuse that popped on my mind.
"But you're not eating meat buns. Am I right Hyein?" She completely saw right through me.
There's no other choice but to admit it. "I'm sorry," I said while looking down. "I lied"
"I know," she paused for a bit as her eyes starts to look around our room for some reason. "It's because of Haerin. Right?"
