a new light | nakamura kazuha

Chapter 9

The sun peaking in from the window of your room shone in your eyes, making you frown in your sleep. You tried to turn over and continue sleeping but you were disturbed yet again by the sound of your phone ringing. Tiredly putting the phone up to your ear, you answered without checking who it was.

"Hello..?" Your voice was hoarse and low as you stretched your arms lazily and rubbed your eyes.

"Y/N! Did you die in a ditch last night?" She blared into your ear and you recognised the loud voice
immediately.

"What do you want Eunchae?" You yawned, checking the time on your phone as you looked over to your roommate's bed to see if it was still empty. After you showered drunkenly last night you'd passed out in your bed, exhausted and not even bothering to dry your hair, just thankful to see Kazuha had left the room. Her bed was still empty now, did she go and sleep in Sakura's room? Surely not. Yunjin was bunking with Sakura. Was she avoiding you already?

"Did you even read the trip schedule? We have the boat tour at 11:00. You have like 20 minutes to get ready and come to the lobby." Eunchae informed you, these words suddenly woke you up. You sat up instantly rubbing your eyes and getting out of bed.

"Shit, I forgot." You scrambled for your backpack, throwing sunscreen in there along with a protein bar as you'd clearly be skipping breakfast. What a great start to the day.

"Were you really that hammered yesterday?" Eunchae snickered as you put the phone on speaker and washed your face and brushed your teeth, noticing your hair was still damp in the bathroom mirror.

"You know I'm a lightweight." You rolled your eyes, the pain in your head reminding you to never drink again.

"I have a question," Eunchae began, right as you looked in the mirror, noticing a trail of hickeys from your neck down to your collarbones. You screamed internally. Memories from last night all came flooding back, you and Kazuha up against that door and her full lips marking your entire body. You didn't even realise Eunchae talking as you rewinded the entire night, all the way back to your make out in Yunjin's bathroom, causing your cheeks to blush and your mind to blank.

Fuck.

Although you were worrying about the future of this trip with Kazuha, there were bigger issues at hand. Those bigger issues being finding a way to cover the pigmented bruises decorating your neck within 15 minutes. That little bitch, Kazuha. There's no way she didn't do this on purpose. You scowled to yourself as you took your concealer to your neck trying to cover it as best as you could.

"Hello? Did you die?" Oh, right. You were on a call with Eunchae.

"Mm, what were you gonna ask?" You said, deeply in focus trying to match the tones between your bruises and neck.

"Did you and Kazuha fuck in the bathroom last night?" You could hear the smirk in her voice and you stopped, trying to find the best answer to give.

"No, what makes you think that?" Well, you didn't fuck in the bathroom, so it wasn't really a lie.

"You were staring at her ever since your seven minutes were over," she continued as your face heated, "and now that I think about it since Aeri's party in general. Is something going on?"

"Erm, no." You chuckled nervously, why did Eunchae have to be so quick-witted? "She's not my type, didn't we go through this?" You continued, except she very much was your type and you did fuck last night.

"Hmm, okay. I'll believe you..for now." Eunchae added ominously, and you sighed, relieved that she dropped the topic before you gave yourself away.

"I'm coming down in five, I'm just gonna change." You replied after finishing up with the concealer, it worked surprisingly well, but that didn't mean you weren't still mad at your roommate.
