Éphémère 「HEERINA」

Karina tried to head for the door but was immediately stopped by the two girls.

"And where do you think you're going?" Chaewon snickered, furious.

As she was trying to break free from Wonyoung's hold, Chaewon took a bottle of ketchup, which she stole from the buffet, and started smearing its content on Karina's croch area.

"What are you doing!? Are you crazy!?" Karina shouted as she snatched her hand back.

"Hah! Look at her!" Chaewon laughed at her.

"Pathetic as always." She continued before looking at Wonyoung.

"Let's go before someone sees us." Wonyoung said as she opened the door, leaving Karina behind.

Once the door was closed, Karina sighed. Her face was bright red from effort and anger.

"What do I do now?" She asked herself as she was looking for her phone.

"Great! It's dead." She slapped her forehead.

Karina took a deep breath before looking in the mirror. She couldn't leave the bathroom like that. She looked like a shark had attacked her.

As she was trying to figure something out, the door opened, startling Karina.

A girl with cat-like eyes entered the bathroom, not noticing Karina at first.

Once the girl's gaze turned towards Karina, her eyes widened in surprise.

Her name is Hwang Yeji, and she is the assistant of Choi Yeonjun, the actor.

"Omg! Are you okay?" She asked, concerned.

"Uh..." Karina tried to speak, but with no use. Her voice was gone.

"Do you need me to bring you a pair of pants?" Yeji offered as she saw that Karina had trouble voicing her thoughts.

The girl nodded, grateful that Yeji understood exactly what she needed.

After a couple of minutes, Yeji came back with a pair of pants.

"I could only find these. They are Yeonjun's pajama pants, but I don't think he'll mind if you borrow them." She handed the pair to Karina, who took them.

Karina entered a stall quickly and changed.

Yes, she might have looked funny with a pair of men's pajamas that were obviously far too big for her, but at least they were clean.

As soon as she got out of the stall, she noticed that her savior had left already.

"She's gone? I didn't even have a chance to thank her." Karina sighed.

She left the bathroom as quickly as possible and headed for the dorm.

As soon as she entered the shared dorm, the scent of bibimbap hit her nose.

She went straight to the kitchen, where she found Giselle cooking the delicious dish.

"Giselle, didn't you go to our CEO's party?" Karina asked as she put down the destroyed pair of pants.

"I did, but I came back after an hour. It was kind of boring, I won't lie." Giselle said before looking at Karina.

Her eyes fell directly on the pair of pants she was wearing.

"And what are those? Unnie, you look so goofy in them!" She laughed at her group member, who didn't seem to be amused.

"It was an accident. Someone spilled ketchup all over my pants." Karina half lied.

Although Karina didn't seem to find anything funny in that situation, Giselle continued laughing.

"And who's pants are those?" The younger girl managed to say through giggles.

"It's none of your business! And don't laugh at your older friend like that!" Karina pulled her unnie card.

"Okay, okay!" Giselle tried to stop, but she couldn't really.
